Me: I know some of you were confused by the end of the last chapter, but in this one DREW WILL EXPLAIN!

Drew: Huh?

Me: Not in the character talks.

Drew: Oh.

Me: Don't own pokemon, ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 4

Reunited

May clapped her hand over her mouth in horror. Drew! What have I done?

Then there was that confusing moment when you were all by yourself and you didn't know what to do. It was the same moment when you go to a lot of trouble to get to a party, and when you get there, there's nobody there. In this case, May threw herself down the hill after him, shouting things like "Ow!" or "Ouch, that HURT!"

When she reached the bottom, she threw herself on Drew, kissing him to her hearts content.

"Uh…May?" Drew muttered "I'm happy to see you too, but CAN YOU GET OFF OF ME NOW?" May flushed, and got up. They started to head towards the Fire Forest. Drew knew this, May didn't. So she was just a teensy bit surprised when mini volcanoes started shooting fire from the floor, singing her skirt.

While they went through this, Drew explained

"I wasn't lying when I said I was Giovanni. He did take our ship, but seeing how talented I was," Drew smirked, May rolled her eyes "He took me into his ship. So, for about eighteen years I stayed there. Then he took me into his cabin and told me a secret. He wasn't really Giovanni. His name was James. The real Giovanni had passed away ages ago, passing on the title to James. But then it was time for James to retire to his wife, Jessie. So he gave me the title. I spent the rest of the time searching for you, and here we are in the Fire Forest."

Something dawned on May; she had paid attention in her geography classes as a child, and she knew where the Fire Forest was!

Suddenly, she was sinking.

Drew smacked his forehead. Of course! How could he forget the quick sand? But he thought fast and grabbed a firm branch, jumping in after her.

Above his head, a gigantic rabbit sniffed the ground with interest, but passed on. (I know what you're thinking, totally random. But it comes in later, so remember the rabbit!)

Drew pulled with all his strength, and managed to haul himself and May up. May clung onto him for dear life. She only then remembered what she had been told inhabited the Fire Forest…

"What about the ROHPs?"

"Rabbits of Huge Proportions? I don't believe in-aaarrrrgh!"

Ironically, a massive rabbit attacked him about then. When he finally managed to strangle it, there was a deep cut on his shoulder. May rushed forward, but Drew stopped her.

"I'm…ok…really."

He dragged her on. When they finally got out of the forest, they were jubilant, but it didn't last for long. Little had they known that Prince Birch had been following them on horseback. He and his men pulled up in front of him.

"May, darling, I will rescue you from this fiend. Come here!"

He said. Drew instinctively held on to May.

"We know the secrets of the Fire Forest. We could live here forever!"

But May said tearfully

"If I go with you, will you let Drew go?"

Everybody stared at her, including Drew.

"Will you?"

She continued with wide eyes. Prince Birch crossed his fingers behind his back, and said comfortingly

"Of course, sweetheart."

May smiled, and climbed onto his horse in front of him. Drew watched them leave helplessly. Then he looked up at Prince Birch's right hand man. He had six fingers. Drew grinned.

"Someone's looking for you!"

And with that he was led away.

Drew: How DARE you make her go away with Birchy Boy?

Me: What can I say? I'm evil.

Drew: I hate you.

Me: I know. R&R!
