Hey everyone! Here's the next chapter of my story.

Ash: … 'frozen'

Me: ASH! You're still frozen?! 'sighs and sweatdrops' Pikachu, do you mind zapping your trainer back to reality?

Pikachu: Why me?!

Me: You're the only one in here right now that can snap him out of this trance.

Pikachu: Ok. 10000 volts of electricity coming up

Shocks Ash with 10000 volts.

Ash: …

Me: WHAT?! HE'S STILL FROZEN?!

Pikachu: WHAT?! But that's impossible! My attacks always work.

Me: This is really serious. Oh well… there's only one other thing to do, right Pikachu?

Pikachu: Keep me out of this.

Me: Oh May…… 'in singing tone'

Pikachu: 'sweatdrops' While this is going on, I'll do the disclaimer. Zeaeevee doesn't own pokemon or any of the character in it. Please read and review.

Chapter 2

When they were done, they got everything cleaned up. May was helping Brock wash the dishes and Ash was returning the pokemon into their pokeballs. While May and Brock were washing, Brock started a conversation.

"So, what took you guys so long to get back?" he asked, as if he didn't know.

"Well…" May started, "we stared looking for wood and it was a bit quiet between us. Then Ash started to tell me something, but didn't because Pikachu interrupted us"

Brock put his head down in a form of guilt.

"Well, I guess it's partially my fault." he confessed.

"What do you mean?" May asked, a bit confused.

"Well, after you guys left to go look for more firewood, you were taking a long time to get back," he stated "And eventually, Pikachu got worried and so did I – a little – since neither of you had any of your pokemon with you. So I told Pikachu to go and look for you guys."

May didn't know whether to be upset or happy, but she understood what Brock was saying.

"That's ok Brock," she replied his statement, "I understand you guys were worried about us. We were away from camp for long after all."

Brock was relieved that she understood and thanked her.

"Thanks for understanding May." he said. "Now let's pack up these dishes and get ready to go to sleep."

Ash, on the other hand, started to think to himself and talking to Pikachu, after he returned the other pokemon into their pokeballs.

"I was so close to telling her how I feel Pikachu," he said to his electric mouse. "Why did you interrupt up?" he asked it.

"Pika. Pi… pikachu. (Sorry. I… I was worried.)" he said apologetically.

"That's ok. I understand." Ash replied to his friend. "I just wish I could have told her. I wanted to tell her tonight. Oh well… there's always next time, right buddy." he said to his electric pokemon with confidence.

"Pikachu! (Right!)" Pikachu said, agreeing with him.

When everyone was done with what they were doing, they decided to retire for the night. A couple of hours had passed since they had gone to sleep. Soon after, Ash woke up. For some reason, he wasn't as sleepy as he thought he was. Pikachu was sleeping right next to him, curled up into a little ball. To his right, was May sleeping peacefully. And to her right was Brock. Ash smiled when he looked at May. 'She looks so beautiful and peaceful when she sleeps.' he thought. He then got up from his sleeping bag, quiet enough so as not to wake up anyone. He sat on a rock that was not too far from the low tide. He looked into the sky at the full moon. 'It sure is beautiful tonight' he thought 'Just like May. I really do like her a lot, and I was feeling really confident tonight to tell her.' Ash sat there for a long while thinking.

Meanwhile, back in the cave, May, who was also not very sleepy, woke up. She looked to her right and saw Brock talking in his sleep. She then looked to her left and saw Pikachu all curled up next to Ash's sleeping bag, but the bag itself was empty. She decided to look around first before worrying. She got out of her sleeping bag very quietly so as to not wake up Brock and Pikachu. When she got out of the cave, she saw a figure sitting on a rock and figured it was Ash. She started to walk towards the figure very slowly. Ash, on the other hand, was still thinking and never sensed May coming.

"Ash…?" she asked a little unsure.

Ash was a little shocked when he heard her voice and then turned around to see May standing not too far from him.

"May?" he asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I could ask you the same thing." she replied, "And I bet it's the same reason you aren't."

"I just, had a lot on my mind," he replied, "So I couldn't sleep."

"Then… would you like some company?" she asked.

Ash smiled and nodded. He moved a little to the side of the rock so as to allow May to sit right next to him.

Me: Well… that's chapter two you guys.

May: You called?

Me: Hey there May. Yea I called for you.

May: Ok. What for?

Me: Have a look.

May: Why is Ash frozen like that?!

Me: We were talking, and when I mentioned your name, he froze up. He's been like this ever since.

May: Did you have Pikachu thunder bolt him?

Me: Yea, I did, but he's still frozen. That's why I called for you.

May: ME?! But what can I do?!

Me: You'll think of something. You're the only one left to snap him out of it. Pikachu and I have already tried.

May: Ok. I'll see what I can do.

Me: Great! I'll leave you two alone then. Come on Pikachu.

Pikachu: Ok. This should be fun.

May: Ok Ash. It's just you and me now.

Me (in the next room): Please review. Next chapter will be up soon.
