Slight Romance

I would like to apologize to my readers for seemingly erratic writing schedule. Now school has started back so -_-. Dang I hate not updating on a certain time schedule.

(Later that night, around midnight)

Dawn gave a quick and sneaky look at her poketch, the time showed 11:57 pm. She had managed to keep May up to this late by discussing contests, fashion, and their adventures.

"May I hate to interrupt but I have to go to the bathroom," Dawn said cutting May off from one of her stories about besting her rival Drew in one of the contests in Johto.

"Do you umm… think you could… umm wait outside the door for me?" Dawn asked faking embarrassment.

May shook her head at what the younger girl had asked her, "Alright, alright, yesh I didn't know you could be such a kid." (A/N as a joke: When did May meet Iris? Lol!)

May walked Dawn to the restroom out in the hallway. Dawn slipped in while May waited outside. May had been outside for a total of maybe two minutes when Ash stepped out of his room.

"May what are you still doing up?!" Ash exclaimed in surprise, expecting May to be fast asleep.

"Dawn was afraid to go to the bathroom by her self."

"That's unusual. I mean I could understand if we were in the wilderness, but the Pokemon Center?"

May shrugged in response, "So where were you going anyway?"

Ash's face turned light pink at here question, "I was heading out to the balcony."

"Mind if I join you?"

Ash's blush got a little darker, "Sure no problem."

They headed out to the balcony in an awkward silence. When they got out there they stood side by side, May on the left, Ash on the right.

The odd silence continued until May noticed Ash fiddling with something in his palm.

"What's that?"

Ash blushed, clearly embarrassed, but answered honestly, "It's my half of the ribbon we won shortly before you left for Johto. I keep it close to me at all times."

May smiled as she pulled out her half of the ribbon, "I do too. It gives me a sense of calm and it's almost like your there with me."

Ash smiled at May and spoke with a sad voice, "I miss the days when we traveled together."

May smiled in return and sighed, "So do I."

After a few more minutes of talking and enjoying each others company, May fell asleep on Ash's shoulder. Ash, not wanting to wake May let her be and soon fell asleep himself.

Dawn came out a few minutes later, to check and the two and smiled at the sight. She brought out a blanket to cover the two and let them sleep in peace.
