Chapter Two

I couldn't believe it. It was all too much. First I die, then I find out I can have another chance to tell May I love her…and now, I'm still dead but…I still have a second chance. So I stayed up until 9:00 am, and discovered I wasn't even tired. Maybe I wouldn't havta sleep for these 3 days, because the whole immortal thing and all.

I walked over to the window of the hotel room and stared up at the morning sky. I could hear the stupid Starly's sing. Why everybody made a big deal about how pretty it was, was still a mystery to me. It wasn't, it was a annoying chirp that they repeated over and over again.

I tried getting my mind off the annoying sound by looking around the city. After all, this room had a great view didn't it? Why not enjoy life? If only I knew this sooner I would have told May everything a long time ago. In fact, I would have told everybody how I felt about her so they knew she was mine, and only mine.

Speaking of May, how on Earth was I going to pull this off? I mean, I had three days to get a girl to say she loved me, and I couldn't even tell her first? That was unfair, I didn't even ask to die, but that's what I get for being careless on the mountain. I didn't want to think about that though.

Instead my mind tried thinking all the ways I could do this. "Well, the first things first. I am going to ask her out to dinner." I just had to figure out a way to build up the courage.

I walked out of my hotel room and into the lobby, that's where the pay phone was anyway. I put in the change and a woman answered the phone. "Cyndaquil's Oven, would you like to make a reservation?" She said it so plainly you could tell she had repeated it many times before. "Yes, um, dinner for two please, seven O' clock." The woman breathed into the phone without answering. I waited, though, unsure whether it was a smart idea to upset this lady. "Okay, sir. Your reservations are ready."

After the phone call was over I made my way out of the hotel for some fresh air. It was nice, better than those clouds actually.

I walked around for awhile when I spotted something so rare, I could hardly believe it. It was May, out before noon. She told me she always slept in until then, unless there was a contest of course. But I really didn't care why she was out, my heart was pounding and this was my chance to ask her to dinner.

She wasn't doing anything, she was just sitting there, alone. I decided to take advantage of that and walks towards the girl I admired so much. She noticed me almost immediately and smiled, but soon the smile went away as if she was trying to hide it. "Well, well. If it isn't Drew Hayden. What brings you here to this bench today?" She looked up at the tree that was draping over her head and picked two apples off of it. "Want one?" she held it out to me, and I took it, not remembering the last time I ate an apple.

After taking a bite, I looked over at her face. "Its a new thing, seeing you up so early." I took a seat next to her and she gave me a look as if I was a legendary pokemon. "And its new to see you being friendly." I smirked up at her. She didn't know it but I loved the way she could make a joke and not even know it. I just had to pull this second chance thing off. I don't know what I would do if I didn't.

"Well, I'll give an explanation to my weird thing if you do yours." I took another bite of my apple. She hadn't even touched hers, which was odd. May loved food, especially fresh apples.

"Well okay, but who go's first?" she asked while staring up at the sky. She definitely had something on her mind. "You of course, I did mention your weirdness before you mentioned mine." She laughed, and nodded before looking up into my eyes.

"I had a nightmare…and couldn't sleep…there, your turn." I could have sworn I saw a shade of pink on her cheeks as she said it, looking away from me. "Oh no you don't, tell me what the dream was about, and no making anything up." She didn't seem to like that very much because now I knew I saw pink on her face. "You'll laugh at me…" she said shyly. Every word she said just made me want to know more about her nightmare. Her voice was pulling me in. "Aw, no I wont May. Just tell me." I had finished my apple by then and decided to grab another.

She looked at me again, this time with a little hesitation in her expression. She turned her head away from me and opened her mouth to speak. "I had a nightmare that you…you died." She winced as she hesitated to say those last words. Usually I would have said something smart and uncalled for like, 'So you hate me so much you dreamed of me dying, eh?'. But I could see this bothered her, plus it kind of creeped me out she had a dream of…what really happened. I decided to ask on, for her sake, and mine. "I…died? Really? Explain." I wanted to hear as much as she was willing to tell me.

She closed her eyes for a second then she just started talking like crazy. I had a feeling I would find out a bit about this nightmare of hers. "It was awful. You were just walking and then you got distracted by something on the ground, and before I knew it…you fell of a cliff onto a pile of rocks. It started to rain and…you were bleeding so much…and then you started talking but I couldn't hear you. Then you just…died…And it was so scary because it was so…real. Thank heavens it was only a dream though."

Ya, to her in was only a dream…but to me, it was reality. I just couldn't help but think that Kelly had something to do with May's dream. She said she would see me again when she visits she human world. I would ask her then. Right now I had to focus on one person, and she was sitting right next to me, under an apple tree.

"Your not mad at me or anything…are you Drew?" She glanced at me with a little hope in her eyes, while the rest was trying to tell me sorry. "Mad? Why would I be mad. It was only a dream." Oh, how much I wished it was only a dream. I kind of hoped it was only a dream but deep down, I knew it wasn't. "Thanks Drew. Now…about your weirdness. Don't you owe me an explanation?" She was wearing that warm smile I liked so much.

"I guess I do, huh?" I scratched the back of my head. It was now or never, and now was probably the better option. "May, I was kind of hoping…you would accompany me to dinner tonight?" I just said it and it was, surprisingly really easy. She looked up at me with a teasing expression on her face. "My, I do believe you are asking me on date, Mr. Hayden." She was grinning, I was happy. Hopefully that meant she would say yes. "And if I am, Ms. Maple?" This time I was the one smiling. "Then I accept." she tilted her head and rested it on my shoulders. It was the most amazing feeling ever.

We just sat there for about five minutes until she got up. I didn't want her to. Hec, I wanted to stay like that forever but, I had stuff to do, so I got up also. "I'll pick you up at six-thirty okay?" She gave me one last look before finally taking a bite out of her apple. "Alrighty, see you at six-thirty then." And she got up and I watched as she left.

I never moved from the spot until she was fully out of view. I sighed, things were going perfectly. Now I just had to find something to wear and hope the date goes well.

After two hours of window shopping and the annoying flirting staff, I finally found an outfit and rushed home to think.

I opened my closet and placed the outfit inside. Then walked over to the bed to watch some TV. That may have been the last thing on the list but television was definitely up there for things I would miss when I'm dead, but I would gladly give that up to be with May. She was everything to me after all. I have no idea what would happen if this didn't work, so I decided not to think about it.

Which was pretty easy considering my bathroom door opened had just opened when I thought I was the only one in the house.

Yes, out of my bathroom stepped a brunette haired girl who looked a few years younger than me. She was wearing a short sleeved kingdom hearts t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, and she just smiled at me like we were the best of friends. "Hey Drew, that soap smells amazing, just like raspberries." I quickly grabbed the closet thing I could get my hands on, a painting of the hotel. "Who are you and why are you in my hotel room?" I just assumed she was some crazed fan-girl of mine. They were weird but never went far enough to sneak into my room.

The girl just rolled her eyes and walked towards the window. "Wow, Drew… assuming I'm a fan girl? That's low." It was like she had read my mind, I was officially freaked. "Im serious. I-I'll hit you with this painting!" I threatened her, but she just laughed. "Okay Drew, do it. Hit me with the painting. I dare you." This girl wanted me to? She really was crazy. I was just gonna knock her out then call those people you call when somebody has turned crazy.

Okay so I hit the freak with the painting and it goes right through her. It was like she was some kind of ghost. Wait, ghost, death, brown hair, about fourteen, Ohh. "Kelly?" She opened her eyes and nodded really slow. "Took ya long enough, Sherlock." Her attitude was a turn around. I was usually the one with the smart remarks.

Seriously? How was I supposed to know? She looked totally different! "Y-you look so…different!" She started looking around my room, messing with things, messing them up. "I told you I would look different, didn't I?" then she quickly shook her head to get herself on topic. "But that's not why I came! Drew! We need to talk." Then she pointed to my bed. "Sit."
