Alright! Chapter Two coming up! Due to popular demand (who am I kidding, I got one but a very satisfying one from um... Oban something. Thank you! I didn't realize it looked that bad till you told me! So...ya know thanks!)
Moving on... its a kinda Anastaia thing at the end, for those of you who have seen the cartoon movie
May laughed. She was having a blissful time, running through a field full of flowers along side her Pokemon. Drew was following her, also laughing along with his Pokemon. May never felt so happy, and free in her whole in entire life and almost felt like she was going to burst with happiness. She stopped running and looked for Drew but he was gone.
"Surprise!" May turned just in time to see Drew lunge at her from behind. The two tumbled in the flowers, rolling over each other before they halted to a stop, both of them out of breath from laughing so hard.
"Aw, May. Where have you been all of my life?" Drew smiled down at her and put a flower under her ear..
May smiled and blushed. "Funny, I was just going to ask the same thing!"
The two were lost in each others eyes and Drew was starting to move in for a kiss. May, feeling her heart flutter, went in. Closer, closer. May closed her eyes and-
"MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
May jerked out of her bed, out of her blissful dream and screamed.
"Where the heck were you?!? We couldn't find you anywhere!!" A little, shrill voice demanded.
May sighed and looked at her little brother. "Sorry Max. I feel asleep on one of the benches, near the river and well-" May stopped, twitching her nose before let out a sneeze.
"Sounds like you've got a cold." Brock said.
"Do not!" But she sneezed again several times, and laid back in her bed, tiredly.
"Why me?" May groaned.
"Well, your not the only one. Drew came down with one too." Ash grinned.
"Drew?! Oh, right. He found me last night." May mumbled, starting to remember her dream.
"Oh good! Your awake and just in time for breakfast!" Nurse Joy swept into her room with a tray full of Orange Juice and Chicken Broth.
"Nurse Joy! The love of my life! With every passing moment my heart beats faster and faster for you! Will you cure me of this sickness and marry me!?!?" Brock's eyes were glistening and round like hearts as he knelt beside Nurse Joy and cradled her hand.
"Unfortunately for you, I won't let it go that far." Max said sternly, grabbing his ear and pulling him away from the startled Nurse Joy. Ash and May let out a couple of nervous chuckles.
"Um... well anyways, heres your breakfast May and your going to have to stay in bed today if you want to go anywhere tomorrow." Nurse Joy said, before moving across the room to the other occupied bed.
"The same goes for you Drew." She said, taking the empty plates and walking out of the room. May turned quickly to her left, and to her disappointment, his bed was right next to her.
"It's about time you woke up May." Drew said, with a slightly different plugged up voice.
"Oh great, your in here too?" May sniffed angrily.
"Don't forget the one who saved you last night." Drew replied and flicked his hair.
"Oh great! Just great! Of course I had to be paired with you in the same room! Why wouldn't I be?" May demanded, then let out a series of coughs.
Ash looked at the two of them, amused. "Well, now that you two seem to be acquainted, I'm going to my Pokemon Contest." He stood up to leave and waved to May. "I see you when the contest is over, alright? Play nice now!" He smirked and left the room before May could kill him.
A moment of silence, then, "I don't know how you do it." Drew said, shaking his head.
"Do what?" May asked.
"Travel with him, and those other guys. They would drive me crazy in a heartbeat."
May shrugged. "They're not really that bad, Drew. Just... a little peppy sometimes."
Drew rolled his eyes. "Whatever.."
Silence roamed around for a minute before Drew waved toward her food. "You better eat that soon, before it gets cold."
May looked down at it in disgust. "I hate Chicken Broth."
"Too bad, princess. Just get it over with and drink it quickly before you know what your doing." Drew said, before letting out a series of coughs.
May gave one more disgusted look at it, before quickly drinking it down. "Yuck! That was terrible!" May winced.
Drew watched her, amused. "The orange juice isn't any better."
May wined, before quickly gulping that down too. "Thanks for the warning." She sighed, sticking her tongue out at the empty glass.
He shrugged before climbing out of the bed. "Where are you going?" May asked.
"To the pool. Nurse Joy suggested that I set in the hot tub for a bit, to clear my signesses. You wouldn't know what I talking about." He smirked, grabbed his bathing suit and a towel and walked out of the room with a wave.
May screamed in frustration. How could she even think that she might like him?! Throwing off her bed sheets, so grab her own bathing suit and towel and went after him. That little know-it-all, selfish, stupid, mean, green haired freak was always making fun of her!
Storming out into the hall, she asked a girl where the hanging rooms were. She was directed to a small, but beautiful locker room opposite of her bedroom. After changing she headed toward the pool. When she entered, she instantly felt better. It was full of water Pokemon, about 15 different kinds, swimming around peacefully and playing. May smiled, she loved swimming with Pokemon. She noticed a small Pokemon looking at her, and quickly running over to her. He stopped at her feet and called out his name.
"Squirtle!" May cried delightfully and picked him up like a baby. "Hey little guy! You mind if I swim with you?" Her Squirtle called his name happily again and nodded. He jumped out of her hands and called to the rest of the water Pokemon. They all looked up at her and called some sort of a welcome. May laughed and waved to them.
"Why did you follow me? Do you want my autograph or something?" A voice came from the corner.
May glared at Drew, who was sitting in the hot tub, glaring back at her. "Maybe I want to take a swim Drew. It's a free country you know." She retorted before walking over to the pool. She never made it.
BOOM!!!!
A rather, oddly shape hot air balloon burst through the far right hand corner, showing dust and rocks everywhere. The queer thing about the balloon was a attachment to the bottom, a rather large box and a huge tube sticking out from it. Standing in the balloon were two people, and a Pokemon, grinning down at them.
"Wow! You were right Jessie! Look at all these Pokemon!!!" A small, winy voice called out.
"Can you say, promotions?!?!" A boy (man?) said happily.
"Stop wasting time!! Meowth, now!" A girl sharply ordered.
"Water Pokemon coming right up!" Suddenly, winds were picking up and started sucking May, Drew and the Pokemon toward the hot air balloon. May scrambled to grab hold of a nearby pole, while Drew held on to the edge of the pool.
" Team Rocket! Let those Pokemon go!" May demanded, holding on to a pole for dear life, as most of the Water Pokemon went flying into their trap.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double! "
"To announce the evils of truth and love."
"To extent our reach to the stars above."
"Jessie."
"James."
"Meowth thats me!"
"Wherever theres peace and love in the Universes,"
"Team Rocket-"
"Will be there!
"TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE!"
May clutched her pole for her life, as the suction continued to pull at her into the Pokemon trap. The other Pokemon were not as successful, and flew into the bag attached to the balloon. Some of the big Pokemon grabbed on o the edges, and smaller Pokemon held onto them.
"Come on Meowth, I want all of those Pokemon!!" Jessie demanded, reaching over and turning the knob up higher. Tables and chairs went flying across the room, banging into May and Drew. May screamed, and tried to take cover, but couldn't let go of the pole. A table collided with her stomach, knocking the air out of her. Drew grimaced, a chair slammed into his fingers and his grip was weakening.
"oh boy! This is working better than usual!" Meowth stated cheerfully. The water Pokemon had no chance now, and were all flying back into the tube with frightened cries.
"Oh no! Not now!!" But it was too late, Drew sneezed, and his hold on the wet, slippery edge of the pool finally slipped. He went painfully, flying backwards toward Team Rockets cell.
"Drew!" May reach out with one hand and grabbed his wrist. "Hang on Drew!" She clutched his wrist tight with her left hand, and grabbed the pole to keep them both from flying into the trap.
With some difficulty, Drew took out his one pokeball and threw it above Team Rockets 'vacuum'. "Rosalia, use petal dance on Team Rocket!" Drew shouted. A graceful, beautiful Pokemon emerged from the ball, and showered Team Rockets with sharp petals. They all shouted and took cover.
"Squirtle use Ice Beam and aim for the the trap Pokemon to break them free!" Squirtle, who had been hanging onto May's leg, instantly jumped into action to enforce his Mistress's command. May bit her lip and struggled to keep her hold on the slick pole and Drew. She turned to look at Squirtles damage. The part which connected the box from the balloon was weakened, but still attached. May grimaced, it was getting harder to keep both of them from flying away. Squirtle looked at his Mistress, distress.
"Squirtle, use Ice Beam one more time!" She gritted her teeth and prayed that it would work this time. Squirtle jumped up and directed his attack again. Then suddenly, there was a explosion and the suction just stopped as fast as it started. Drew and May fell back to Earth hard, as all the water Pokemon escaped from the cell.
Jessie shouted with rage as they scampered free. "Why you little twerp!" And made a grab for her Poke ball but Drew never gave her a chance.
"Rosalia! Solar beam, lets go!" "Squirtle Bubble Attack!" May called out. The two Pokemon directed their attack at Team Rockets balloon, and another, louder explosion occurred.
"Oh well, at least we tried." James said sadly, as he was flying away.
"I'm going to strangle that girl next time I see her!" Jessie yelled angrily.
"As always... Were blasting off again!"
Drew let out a soft sigh and looked at May, who leaned against the pole, panting heavily. The water Pokemon let a relived cry, and thanked Drew and May.
"What's going on in here?!" Nurse Joy burst through the pool door and seeing the broken down wall in the corner, water everywhere, table, chairs and towels over turned, gasped.
"Oh my! Is everyone alright? What happened?" Nurse Joy scurried over to May and looked worriedly at her. When no responded for a minute, May slowly spook up.
"Team Rocket shows up and tried stealing all of the Pokemon." She sighed, and sat down heavily on the ground, exhausted.
Nurse Joy gasped, as Drew stood up silently, his usual smirk gone.
All of the Water Pokemon seemed to say something at once, calling to Nurse Joy. She walked over to them, glancing over and making none of them were hurt. She then turned around to May and Drew. "Why don't you too head back to your rooms? This pool won't be open until we can get this cleaned up, I'm afraid." May nodded, but Drew said nothing. The two walked silently back to their rooms, both painfully slowly and quiet. When the finally entered their room, May climbed into her bed and looked at Drew.
"That was not quiet the swim I had in mind." May smiled sheepishly.
Drew looked over at her, his face confused.
May frowned at him. "Something on your mind?"
He then looked away, and thought hard on how to say it. "Why... why did you... grab my hand?" He asked finally, looking up at her.
"Well," May looked at him strangely, "I didn't want you to get sucked up. That's why. You would have done the same for me." She answered, watching him closely.
He looked at her for another minute before nodding and stared out the window.
May shrugged, and snuggled down further into her bed, ready for a nap and drifted off to sleep...
The rest of the day was, in May's terms, boring. All she did was sleep and eat the yucky broth Nurse Joy brought to her. Ash, Max and Brock came to see late in the afternoon, just to report that Ash had gotten past the first round, and so had Brandon. Ash was suppose to fight some guy name Ted tomorrow, and he was ready and pumped to kick his butt. But they didn't stay for long, waiting to explore the town (real reason was they didn't want May's cold). May and Drew seemed to bicker back and forth every waking moment. So in the evening, May was happy to hear that she had a visitor.
"Who is it?" May asked excitedly, racking her mind to think who it might be.
Drew watched the door closely, almost glaring.
"Guess who, hon!? I just had to stop by when I heard you were sick!" A rather tall, purple haired, green clothes person stepped through the door with a loud, shrill, high voice. May wined and Drew glared at him.
"Oh, May dear! You look terrible! Absolutely terrible and-What have we here?!" Harley grinned as he looked at Drew.
"You too, Drew?! Well! Ain't this something! And you two are sharing a room! Oh, how nice!" Harley said, clapping both hands together and giggling.
"Harley, we are only sharing a room because we are both sick." Drew snapped.
"Oh, don't you get your little roses up in a bundle Drew. I'm just teasing you." Harley giggled again.
May rolled her eyes and decided to change the subject. "What are doing here Harley?"
"I was just strolling through when I ran into your boy toys May, you know the over-enthusiastic one, the tall one and the geeky one." Harley said thoughtfully.
"That geeky one so happens to be my brother." May hotly said.
"Oh you too! Boy, you guys must be sick! I'm just kidding!" Just then Nurse Joy walked in for the ump-teenth time with a tray of orange juice and broth.
May groaned. "Not again."
"You won't regret it tomorrow, May when you feel a whole lot better." Nurse Joy said, putting the tray in front of May, than Drew.
"Well, what have we got here? Some orange juice and broth?" Harley picked up May's orange juice and looked at it. Then from out of his pocket, he took a straw and stuck it into her drink. He then swirled it around and gave it back to her, with his million dollar grin. "There you go May dear. It'll be easier to drink with a straw."
May looked at him, confused but shrugged. "Um... thanks, I guess." May took the drink and took a sip. She frowned at it, as Drew glared at the two of them.
"Well, okay! I better be on my way, I wouldn't want to catch your nasty colds now! Chow!" Harley made a quick wave before disappearing out of the door. The two stared after him before May turned to Drew, cocked a eyebrow.
"What was that all about?" Drew lowered his eyes and glared at the door.
"I don't trust him one bit May, and neither should you. He's up to something."
May shrugged. "Well, whatever. But I guess whatever hes up too, can't make me not drink this broth." She said, as she looked down in disgust at it.
"I'm serious!" Drew angrily said, then calmed down. "I almost forget who I was talking to for a second." May shot him a glare, but he didn't see it. He was too busy drinking his broth. Soon Nurse Joy came in to take the empty plates, and asked them how they were feeling. Drew said tired but stronger and May said the same, but she was way more tired and fell asleep before Nurse Joy even left the room. Drew was a little worried, but Nurse Joy happily replied that the more sleep they got, the better they would feel in the mourning. Drew shrugged it off and tried to go to sleep. As she cleaned their room quickly, Nurse Joy remarked that it had been a beautiful day, but heavy storms were expected again tonight. She would be booked solid tonight. She left Drew snoozing and May heavily asleep and at the door, she turned to lights off.
-Mays dream-
"Aw come on, Max. Are we there yet?" May asked, letting her little brother lead her through the streets with a blind fold on.
"Don't worry May, were almost there. Just around the bend."
"That's cool but did I really need to where a blindfold?" May asked, almost in a winy tone.
"The others insisted." Max replied with a laugh. May had been at a restruant, eating a Ice Cream Sunday when Max suddenly came out of no where, and she had this blind fold thing on. Now, he was leading her somewhere, where the others were. So of course, she felt like a idiot, walking through the streets with her arms outstretched blindly and her taking very small ginger steps.
"Alright, but this better be good." May said grumpily.
BAM!
Drew lurched out of his bed, panting heavily and looked around for the source of his awakening. He looked outside to see that it was heavily raining, and saw a flash of lightning in the background. Drew sat back, relived that it was only the storm outside, and he noted that he was sweating terribly bad. Wiping his brow, he sat up to slow down his heart beat and glanced at the clock: 2:30 in the mourning. He then looked up and directed his attention to May. He stood up so suddenly, that he didn't even know what he was doing. Trying to stay calm, he walked over to her bed and glared down at it. Finally, he grabbed his shirt (he was still wearing his bathing suit) and walked out of the door. May's bed, was empty.
"Almost there!" Max shouted.
"You said that ten minutes ago!" May complained.
"Well, I mean it this time." Max said defensively.
"Max, can't you just tell me where your taking me? I have the right to know!" May protested.
"Nope, I told the others I wouldn't tell."
"And who is 'the others'?"
"You'll find out in a minute!" Max sang. May laughed, she never heard him say something in that tone.
"Alright were here! You can take it off!" Max exclaimed.
"Finally!" May ripped off her blindfold and gasped.
"Happy Birthday!" Ash, Brock, Misty, Drew, Nurse Joy, Professor Oak, Her mom, and Brandon were all there, with a pile of presents behind them and her mom held a beautiful cake.
"Happy fourteenth birthday dear!" Her mom beamed at May.
"You guys remembered!" May cried excitedly.
"Of course we did!" Brock grinned.
"How could we forget your birthday, May?" Brandon smiled.
"Come on! Blow out the candles and lets have some cake!" Ash said hungrily looking at the cake.
"I don't think so, Ash Keptume." Misty took out her mallet and whacked Ash's head.
"You guys didn't have to do this for me!" May said, her eyes glistening.
"Ya, your right. We should have completely ignored it." Drew smirked.
May glared at him. "It's my birthday so you have to be nice to me."
Drew flicked his hair. "I don't care what day it is, May, I still get to pick on you."
Drew frantically searched around the lobby, but she was no where in sight. He gulped, as he peeked outside. A strong gust of bone chilling rain and darkness welcomed him. He quickly looked down at the path and sighed. There was fresh footprints walking away from the Pokemon Center. Drew quickly put on his shirt, and sprinted out into the storm. Why in the world would she be taking a walk, now?? Didn't she know better?
"Make a wish! Make a wish!" Everyone shouted. May closed her eyes tight and then opened them smiling. Everyone cheered when suddenly, Drew stood up.
"Hey, you know what I want to do? Lets go take a swim!" Max and Ash cheered and raced off. May, Misty, Brandon and Drew followed. When they reached the end of the cliff, May gasped. It was beautiful, blue, clear glistening water about 10 feet below her. Drew torn off his shirt and gracefully dived it. Misty and Brandon followed.
"Come on May! Its so nice and warm!" Max called up to his older sister.
"But I don't want to get wet! And I don't have my bathing suit!"
"Aw, come on May! Who cares! Just jump in like that!" Brandon encouraged.
"Yeah then we can play chicken!" Ash grinned.
May giggled, "You guys are silly!"
Drew was starting to get frantic, the more he ran through the rain following her footprints, the closer he got to the wild, raging river. Don't do anything we'll both regret May...
A man groggily scratched his stomach, after realiving himself in the bathroom. Now was time for a midnight snack. He grabbed a piece of cake and a glass of milk and sat down at the table, starting half-awake outside into the storm. Then, he spotted something strange. Something was moving out there. He got up and peered out the window. It looked like a girl, standing in front of the river. It was so out of control waves splashed up before her. She had a delighted smile on her face, and was giggling. The strange thing about her was her eyes were closed. The man stared at her for another minute, before shaking his head and went back to bed.
"Come on! Jump in! The water is fine!" Misty called gaily.
"I don't know..."
"COME ON!!" Suddenly, Brandon was out of the water, and right next to her, dragging her in.
"Brandon?! What-? I don't want to go in!" May said startled, tugging away from him.
"But we want you too!" And suddenly, to May's horror, her blissful birthday dream turned into a nightmare. All of her friends turned into hideous beast, and was pushing and pulling at her to go into a now, dark green portal which did not look very welcoming. The beautiful sunny day turned into a thunderstorm. May screamed and fought against them, kicking, punching, thrashing around, hoping she would wake up soon. Drew had his arms around her waist and picked her up and dragged her closer, closer to the edge.
"No!" May screamed and began crying. He was at the edge then dumper her over the cliff, she was falling. Then-
"MAY!!!!!!!"
May jolted awake, colliding heads with the person next to her. In a instant she realized were she was, what had happened and who was there. She looked up at Drew before sobbed into his shoulder. Drew wrapped his arms around her protectively and sighed. He would have nightmares about this.
Back flash
Drew panted, running as fast as he could, following Mays footprints. He was starting to think it out now, and knew she wouldn't, in the right mind, have taken a stroll in a storm. So what could he blame? His heart rate was picking up, and it was not because of running. He spotted her, and gave a sigh of relief but it instantly melted all away. May was standing at the edge of a cliff, a raging, wild powerful river below her. The waves crashed up against the cliff, splashing her in the process but she made no move. He stared at her closely, trying to figure out what she was doing. If she was awake, then he didn't want her to see him. He wouldn't want her to think that he was worried about her. If she wasn't... let's hope it doesn't get to that. Then he heard her giggle. He sighed, and turned around, thinking she was awake.
"No!" Drew turned quickly around and gasped. May was getting closer to the edge and was thrashing around, as if fighting invisible enemies. Drew ran after her, and grabbed her.
"May! What the heck are you doing!?!" He gasped, when she turned around, she wasn't even awake. He then grabbed her around the waist, and tried pulling her back, but she fought him too. The waves came up and soaked them both, and thunder roared at them, shaking every bone in Drew's body. May was starting to cry, as she continued to shout and scream. Finally, Drew shouted in her ear as loud as he could.
"MAY!!!!!!" Mays eyes snapped open, as she frantically looked around. Realizing it was all a terrible nightmare and how close she was to her death, she clutched Drew and sobbed.
Ya, I didn't like this one as much as the other one. What do you guys think?
