Ha ha, again guys, thanks for the lovely reviews!

Chapter 7

May lay in her bed for hours, staring at her cell phone. She waited for it to stop ringing before

placing the cell phone onto her nightstand. She had gotten it on her 14th birthday from Norman; it was a pink

camera-phone. She wanted to delete all of the pictures in it because it was filled with Drew and her fooling around. She

remembered having so much fun with him, taking pictures with her cell. And now, now just the thought of it brought her

pain. May sighed and checked her missed calls. The cell phone's screen lit up causing May to blink before getting used to

its light.

"Figures." whispered May dropping her cell phone onto her bed. "You tell a guy you're through and he makes up a sob

story to get you back."

May moved around until she was lying on her stomach. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep.

"Thank you for riding the S.S. 49!" shouted the captain onto the loudspeaker as everyone got up the next morning.

"We will be reaching Pallet in an hour so you better prepare or you'll stay on this ship for another day!"

May felt someone pushing her from behind, when she looked; it was Drew.

"I love you May." He was saying over and over again.

May looked around quickly, wherever they were, it wasn't Pallet or anywhere on this planet. They were

surrounded by tall grass, tall black grass that swayed in the wind. The grass stretched on forever from both sides, but in

front of them lay a huge hole that led to a huge fire; so extremely hot it was black. "What are you doing Drew?"

"I love you May." He answered in a monotonous tone. "But you don't love me so you have to go to hell."

"What?" May fought to get out of Drew's grasps, but he was holding her pretty tight. "That doesn't make

sense! You shouldn't throw me into a fire hole just because I broke up with you!"

"But you don't love me so you have to go to hell." repeated Drew.

May blinked and saw that there were other people jumping into the hole, as if they wanted to get burned. She

thought she recognized a few. Yes, there was a girl May had one time seen at a Pokemon Contest. Misty was jumping in

too, followed by Gary and Ritchie. "Stop this Drew!" pled May, tears stinging her eyes. "Don't do this to me."

"But you don't love me so you have to go to hell."

"But I do love you!" sobbed May. Her heart beating a million times per second. "I love you Drew, really!"

"Too late!"

May turned to face the girl she would now learn to hate, Amy.

"Too late!" She shouted again with her annoying high pitched laughter. "Too late! Too late! Too late!"

May gulped. "Please Drew! Please!"

"But you don't love me so you have to go to hell."

Out of the corner of her eye, May could see Ash jumping into the fire. Carolyn cried as she was pushed into the

fire. But who pushed her? While everyone else May knew surrendered their lives to the fire, Carolyn was the

only one other than May that was pushed.

"But you don't love me," said Drew as he gave May one last push.

"So you have to go to hell."

May felt herself being sucked into the hole by the fire. The black fire filled with screams of many others. She was

deafened by the screams and the fire made her weep. She took one last long look at Drew, he looked back down at her

with no hint of emotion. Beside him sat Amy, laughing that annoying high pitched laughter of hers.

"Nya!"

May blinked several times before emerging out of sleep. At first, it took her sometime to get her thoughts into

order. She sat up and noticed she was sitting on her Skitty's tail. "Oh, I'm sorry." mumbled May tiredly before

standing up. She had not only been sitting on Skitty's tail, she had fallen off her bed while she was sleeping too. May

rubbed her eyes and was prepared to fall back asleep when someone knocked on the door. "Hello? Um, Miss Maple, we are

to arrive in Pallet in less than thirty minutes. I suggest you get ready or you'll get stuck on the ferry and ride back to Little

Root."

May yawned in response and the man, who had knocked on her door, left her alone. May yawned again and

reached for her cell. 6:30 AM it read. She groaned and let her head fall back onto her bed. Doesn't anyone know how to

sleep in on this boat?
"Thank you for riding!" said the captain as he shook May's hand.

"No, thank you." replied May with a small yawn. "It was a great ride."

The captain beamed. "Thank you so much! I hope you ride again!"

May nodded and began to walk down the stars. Skitty, who had at some point during the night got out of it's

pokeball, ran around the deck with May. "Nya!" it shouted after reaching the pier below.

There were a lot of people standing there, waiting for their loved ones. Many people hugging and some even

crying. May could see Sara running into the arms of a tall man with jet black hair and dark brown eyes. And tugging on the

man's shirt was a little girl with the same black hair and Sara's green eyes. May turned away when Sara began kissing who

what May thought was Sam, she didn't want them to think she was staring. "Come on Skitty." She said smiling down at her

pink cat-like Pokemon. "We have to look for Ritchie."

"Ya!" Skitty jumped into May's arms as they began to search the pier.

"May?"

May looked back to see a boy a little taller than her with reddish brown hair running towards her. He had on

black jeans and a white t-shirt. "Ritchie?"

Ritchie smiled when he finally reached May. "Yes! I told you I could find her!"

"What?" May turned fully and saw a girl standing beside Ritchie. She had short reddish brown hair that hugged

the sides of her head. Her blue denim skirt hugged the sides of her body as her denim jacket hung coolly over

her shoulders showing a hint blue tank top under. She smiled at Ritchie. "I should've known to believe you!"

May stared at the two with a confused look on her face. If this was Ritchie, who was the girl? "Um..?"

Ritchie finally looked back at May. "Oh, yeah! Hey May, do you need help with those bags?"

"Um…"

"Oh, ignore him." said the girl with a laugh. She took May's free hand and shook it. "I'm Jane Jakelyn by the

way. Ritchie told me he was picking up a friend of Ash's and I had to go help him."

"I'm May Maple." replied May. "And, you know Ash?"

Jane smiled. "Yeah, I met him on Montgame islands along with Ritchie here."

Ritchie grinned. "Yeah, sorry I didn't tell you May."

"And Jane's your girlfriend?"

"Something like that."

"More like yes." said Jane. She tugged on May's arm lightly.

"Come on, we have to show you where you're bunking."

"Okay." May allowed Jane to pull her away as Ritchie struggled with her luggage. It didn't take long for

May to notice that she was the third wheel here. Ritchie and Jane recalled the funniest things that had happened to them

and they kept giving each other secret looks. Even Skitty had abandoned May and decided it was better to run around with

Ritchie's pikachu Sparky and Jane's pikachu Spiral. Ritchie and Jane hardly noticed May was there because they barely

spoke to her. Was this how people felt around her and Drew?

No.

She wasn't supposed to think about Drew.

"We're here!" said Jane as Ritchie opened the door. May looked over at Ritchie's house, which was

pretty small in her opinion. It was one floor, two bedroom, one bathroom, one car garage house.

Ritchie dropped May's bags in the living room and sank into the couch.

"Pika!" shouted Sparky as he ran and jumped onto Ritchie's face.

"Ouch!" Ritchie pushed Sparky off of his face and onto the couch beside him. "Sparky, I don't feel

like playing, I'm exhausted."

"Aww," Jane sank into the couch beside Ritchie. "Don't tell me that the training has gotten to your

head Ritchie."

"I'm just tired." he muttered. Then looking over at May, he said. "I'm sorry May. I don't think I'll be

able to take you around Pallet today."

"That's alright." she replied, looking over at her luggage. "Um, where should I put this?"

"Ritchie will put it into your room and I'll show you Pallet town." said Jane standing up.

"Pika!"

"Okay, Spiral and I will show you." Spiral jumped up onto Jane's shoulder, waiting for them to

leave.

"Um, thanks but I…" May looked towards her cell phone. "Um, I need to return a few calls, tell

my parents I made it here okay."

"Okay, we'll wait."

"No, it'll take sometime."

"It's not a worry May. I can wait, the sun isn't going to come down any time soon."

May sighed and headed towards the backyard.

So far her trip to Pallet felt like a big mistake. She had been furious at Ash for

leaving her beause Misty needed him, at the time, she thought they were still an item. And now Ritchie had brought along

his girlfriend. It seemed as if everyone she knew had someone. Once May reached Ritchie's backyard, she fell to her knees.

She could hear Ritchie and Jane laughing about something and for the first time in her life, she felt outside of the crowd.

I dreamt… I dreamt that in the deepest of oceans… deepest of oceans… we would meet.

May sighed and looked down at her cell phone.

Drew Almond- (556) 812-4459

May was tempted to pick it up. Pick it up and say she was sorry and wanted to get back together. May stared at it for

some time before throwing it into the grass. She watched it until it stopped ringing, and then buried her eyes into her

knees. "Some vacation."
