WITH THE LIGHTS OUT…
Ash lay awake on his bed. Moonlight was streaming in through the window. All the lights were out. His friends we're all asleep in the beds near him.
He was thinking about all the things that had happened today, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts at once.
"Hey you guys guess what?" May said eagerly wanting to tell her friends the news "Michael's coming with us!"
Dawn leapt out of her seat "awesome!"
Michael and Ash came in and sat down.
"Is it true Ash?" Max asked him.
Ash smiled at him "yup Michael going to be traveling with us for a while, Max"
"So why have you decided to travel with us Michael?" Brock asked him.
Michael told the them the whole story, about the phone call with Lunick and his mom getting sick.
Tears streamed down Dawn's cheeks while May's eyes formed with tears again.
"So that's the whole story, I have to go see her soon as possible" he looked down, struggling not to let his emotions get the best of him.
Brock stood up and put his hand on Michael back comforting him.
"Don't worry Michael i'm sure your mom will get better, and just so you know your welcome to come with us anytime."
"Thanks Brock" Michael stood up "you guys should stay here another night and we'll head out in the morning" he started heading off but stopped and turned back "Thanks you guys."
"He's right" Frankie had been listening as he walked in "we should all rest up and try to relax tonight"
"Hey Frankie, what are you and the rest of the band going to do, isn't Michael your lead singer?" Max asked him.
"Oh we'll head out that way in a couple of days so don't worry" Frankie assured him
"Ok, well I'm going back to the room I didn't really get a good sleep last night, so try to take it easy ok" Max yawned.
"Bye Max, hey nice meeting you guys i'm going back to the room. I'll see you guys tomorrow, bye Ash, bye Brock"
"See you Frankie" Ash said to him
May looked around and let out a yawn "I better get to bed to, come with me Dawn"
"Ok, May" she said
May came close to Dawn's ear "Maybe on the way we can see what Michael's up too" she whispered
The two giggled up the stairs.
Brock watched the two go up the stairs. He looked at Ash, who was looking at May.
"When are you going to tell her Ash?"
"What do you mean?" Ash looked at him with wide eyes.
"When are you gonna tell May that you like her?"
"What!" Ash looked down. His hat covered his face "I don't…"
"Yes you do Ash, it's pretty obvious, and I wouldn't be surprised if May already knew."
Ash looked up. He could see his friend knew his secret.
Brock stood up and pushed his chair in." don't put this off Ash, don't let her slip away tell her now or you may never have another chance" he walked up the stairs back to the room.
Ash was the only one left, sitting at the table.
Ash turned to his side. He saw May sleeping, so peacefully, so beautiful.
He turned on his back staring at the ceiling again.
Brock's right I have to tell May but… it's got to be perfect, the right place, and the right moment.
Whatever, another voice inside his arose just make sure you do it and do it now.
Yeah you're right if I don't... I could lose her.
Yeah especially when Michael is going to be with you guys.
What! What do you mean?
Didn't you see the way she looked at him? Dawn too! He might…
But why would he do that? He doesn't seem interested in May. Maybe if I'd tell him he'd back off?
Try it. But do it tomorrow don't let this pass you by...
Ash smiled. He knew, first thing tomorrow, no more running, no more hiding, and no more denying it.
He was going to tell May, his long time friend and traveling partner how he felt about her.
Ash closed his eyes. He say May's face appear in his mind "I love you May" he whispered. He got under
the covers and fell asleep.
May was asleep in the bed a few feet away, she was having the same dream she had a few nights before.
I love you May
She heard a voice not knowing who it was from. She smiled a warm smile, secretly knowing who it really
was.
She continued to dream the rest of the night.
Michael was still awake in his room playing softly an old Nirvana song.
And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
It's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
He stopped playing and walked to the window. He looked up at the stars.
"I hope every thing turns out okay with my mother, my new friends, and with…May" he whispered her
name with a warm sweet feeling.
He picked up his guitar and finished the rest of the song.
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea
A denial
A denial

A denial
A denial
A denial
A denial
A denial…….
By the time he finished the song his throat was sore. He dropped himself on his bed and put his guitar
Away in its capsule. He flicked the lights to off and continued thinking of the day before him. He quietly
drifted off to sleep.
Outside a dark figure stood staring at the sleeping boy inside the room, eyeing him and his Ranger's jacket,
waiting to pounce…with the lights out…
