Chiming bells, guess what? I've returned with a (late) update.

Everyone wants Brendan to be gone, haha. Well, soon he'll be growing mushrooms in the corner crying. Just kidding. I can see that happening though!

Responses to Reviews…

Longleaf: I will update since you're super nice! (: And I totally agree with you!
LeafxGreenx3: Aw it's fine! Ehe, I thought you haven't even read it yet. (x Everyone is watching/reading Fairy Tale and SAO! But hey, at least you reviewed 8D Aberrations committed a crime, but the crime wasn't too bad so they can stay in the Association. Complicated, right? More oldrivalshipping is to come. (:
contestshipergrl: Thank you! More contestshipping is coming and I shall update.
izaSECRETladii: I try to make May a little more mature than she is. It's a little hard in her point of view. If I make her all bubbly and happy and dense she'll sound like an idiot, haha. And I know a lot of cliffhangers and short scenes. (: thanks for critiquing!
reppad98: They shall meet soon, right? (x thank you for reviewing!
rabiya123: Thank you! I'm so glad you love it.
Minichrome: Aw really? Thanks, I'm so glad it's interesting.
Aileentang: Alright. So Aberrations committed a crime, but the Agents judged it was too bad so they could stay in the Association. So the thing they did wrong was a Sin, which is a crime. Your last question shall be answered in the story! It's pretty much the point of this story… c:
contestshipper: Thank you, and more contestshipping is a YES! Thanks!
LiteBulb: Yes, she finally notices. Aha.

SpecialxGirl: Sounds like a plan. May and Drew should just fly to Narnia and the Agents shall never ever find them. Just kidding, but you're so right, that should happen. If only!
Enax3: How could Drew avoid her? That's a crime! I well update with some love! LOL.
shadowkittyxX: That's the proof of the contestshipping bond, right? haha… and yes Leaf and Gary cannot be forgotten or Gary will throw a fit, right? Who knows? Thank you!

Birdie118: Pretty much… hehe. I like your prediction! (: I would be pretty scared of the punishment the Agents gave May… :o thank you! I will update!
CRITICly Anonymous: Thank you so much! I'm so glad it wasn't horribly written. And screw the awkward sentences I wrote. At least I got away with it though. Again, thank you so much!

So many thanking. If I didn't say thank you, I'M THANKING YOU NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. And my eyes are blinded by smiling faces and thanking.

Sorry for the late update, writer's block got to me. Things happen.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas 0r Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year! Wanna know what's next? School…

"I want you to have this," Drew said. He gave me a hair barrette. "It was my aunt's which was passed down to his relatives. She never had kids so she couldn't pass it down and gave it to me. I'm a guy so I have no use for it."

"I can't," I said, pushing his hand away. "I already have an artifact." Drew asked what it was. I took out a golden pocket watch. "My grandfather gave it to me. It's old. He couldn't give it to my dad since he already had an artifact."

Drew examined the pocket watch in my hands. I let him hold it. It did have amazing details, so you would want to look closely at it. I get that. He gave the watch back and I put it back in my pocket. "Oh well, just take it. I'm giving it to you, so it's a present."

"But it's still an artifact," I said. "Give it to a friend who doesn't have an artifact."

"I'm not friends with a lot of women," Drew said. "Just keep it a secret. Give it to Eevee."

"But Eevee still belongs to me so it'll be counted as mine." Drew clipped the red ribbon barrette in my hair and patted it gently. "Hey!"

He smirked. "It looks good on you. Keep it, November."

I rolled my eyes at the nickname. I have to admit I was happy he said the artifact looked good on me. My face was warm. But that was a compliment for the barrette against my hair… why am I so negative sometimes?

"Alright," I said, defeated. Drew and I were at the pretty place where I battled his Roselia. It was a Saturday.

"Oh right," Drew said. "There's this hiking class I was offered to join. Its points for your level, like bonus points. It'll raise your grade and its fun. It isn't that hard. Want to join with me?"

"When is it?" I asked.

"Wednesdays and Thursdays at five to six thirty," he said. Drew went in his bag and pulled out two sheets of paper. "Here, this one is the registration sheet and the other one is information. It's double-sided. The class is also about partnership, so we can be partners."

Now that makes me want to join the class. I can spend an hour and a half with Drew. To top it off, it can be for school, so mom and dad will approve. "Thanks," I said. I folded them and pushed them in my bag. "Drew, I challenge you to a battle."

He smirked. "Alright."

"But I want to ask you something," I said. I took out an ice rock, the one that Dad told me to use to evolve Eevee. "Should I evolve my Eevee?"

"Is that an ice rock?" Drew asked. I nodded. "If you want to and Eevee does, too, then sure." I nodded again. I stared at the baby blue rock. I'll no longer have an Eevee but a Glaceon. Eevee can choose if she wants to be another evolution, too.

Eevee can choose.

Choose. That word… was a word I never got to encounter. Why is that? "May?" Drew said. "You don't have to evolve Eevee. She can stay as is, you know."

"Why do pokemon get to choose?" I exclaimed.

"What?"

I gasped. "Sorry. No, ignore that. I was thinking out loud." I forced a smile, but it didn't convince him at all. "I guess I'll—"

"Steve, I heard voices this way."

"Let's check it out. It's rare for people to be here—that's suspicious."

Drew looked at the direction the voices came from. "In that bush," Drew ordered in a hushed voice. He pushed me into the larger bushes and joined me. Why are we hiding?

I took a tiny peek through the bushes and saw Agents in orange suits. They marched around. My heart shook as they came closer to us.

Drew wrapped one of his arms around me to assure me everything was fine. But still, why are we hiding?

"No one's here."

"Adam, you're always hearing things. Next time don't say anything if you're not sure."

"I was sure though!" The two Agents left, and a minute or two later, Drew led me out of the bush.

"Why were we hiding?" I asked.

Drew shrugged. "I don't know. I did that unconsciously." Liar. It was probably because you're an Aberration, so they'd ask you questions. "Well, that's partly right."

"Did I say that out loud?" I asked.

He nodded. "You're so weird. But actually, you are right. Sometimes they'd ask for our name and ID, then they'd find out I'm an Aberration. They'd think you're doing something wrong and it's such a bother to deal with."

That may be why Drew's mom didn't allow Drew to see me. Now I understand. "Agents are nosy sometimes," I mumbled.

"Shh," Drew said, smirking. "They'd kill you if they heard you." I laughed. "June, watch out there's a big rock over there—" Too late. I tripped on the rock and I crashed into Drew, causing both of us to fall. My face was in his chest and my body between his legs.

I blushed. "Oh gosh I'm so, so, so sorry." I stood up and brushed the dirt off my clothes. I held my hand out and he took it. But instead of helping himself up, he pulled me back down. "Hey!"

Drew was startled by his actions. I could tell because he pushed me away gently and stood up. "Sorry. I guess I'm too strong for your strength." He was covering himself with his arrogance. I didn't respond to what he said. "So are you going to evolve your Eevee?"

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you helped me make my choice. Because Eevee wants to evolve, she should. It's nice to have choices…"

if only I could experience it.

If you don't know, my grandfather is seventy-nine years old. His birthday is next week on a Sunday.

This means that next Sunday is the last day I will see him.

Grandfather used to be an Agent, but he retired when he was sixty. How could he be an Agent? I can't imagine it. I don't remember since I was young when Grandfather was still working. "I'm home," I said, opening the door.

"Welcome home Sis," Max said. "The nursing home brought Grandpa here."

"I know," I said. "Mom told me yesterday. But I thought he was coming at seven." It's six right now.

"Who cares?" Max said. "Let's go see him. Mom's getting some ice cream for him." Grandfather loves ice cream. He loves sweets in general. I followed Max to the guest room but before we opened the door, we decided to listen what Dad and Grandfather were discussing.

"Norman, you still have the DNA sample I gave you, right?"

The DNA sample is a sample of a DNA obviously. You get it when your life has a month left. I haven't learned that much about it, but I think it can bring him back to life later on or something for a limited period of time. It's mysterious; I don't know how the Association does it. You have to take care of the sample very carefully.

"Yeah I have it Dad. Do you need it?"

"No, I want you to destroy it."

My eyes widened and Max's jaw dropped. Max opened the door and Dad and Grandfather turned around to look at us, shocked.

Max and I read the mood. We weren't supposed to overhear that. I glanced at Max and he just nodded. We agreed to say that we didn't know. "Hey Grandpa!" Max exclaimed, running over to him. "I was still out with my friends when you got here."

"I know," Grandfather said, hugging Max. "And hello May, come in."

I walked in and Dad started to walk out. Before he did, he stopped me. "May, did you hear anything?"

"Hear what?" I asked. A flawless lie.

Dad shook his head. "No, nothing." Dad turned took face Grandfather. "Dad, I'll talk to you later."

Grandfather nodded. "Grandpa, what do you want at your Final Banquet?" Max asked. The Final Banquet is the last day you're alive, so your eightieth birthday. If your death was sudden, then you don't get one. Max tried to stay positive about it. We all did. "We should play Halma."

"Yes, we should," Grandfather said. "It's been a while since I've played. If I remember last time, I couldn't stand a chance against you."

Max grinned. "We should just play right now. I'll go find it." Max dashed out of the room. Geez, where does he get that energy? Didn't he just play baseball?

"May, come here," Grandfather said. He patted a nearby chair. I took a seat. "You look like you have to say something."

"How do you know?" I asked. Well, he's Grandfather. He just smiled. "Yeah, I do. A lot of things, actually."

"I'm all ears for you, May," he said.

I glanced at the door to make sure no one was there. I could hear Max yelling for Mom to help him find the board game. "Actually, when I had my Match Test the other day, you know how it's supposed to show your Match's picture?" Grandfather nodded. "It didn't show Brendan's picture. It showed someone else's."

He frowned. "How strange."

"Would you happen to know why?" I asked.

"No," Grandfather said. "When I was an Agent that never happened. I also don't know about the YMTD (Your Match Test Department), I was never in that branch. Did the other Agents do something about it?"

"Well they told me stuff," I said. "They told me I'm still Matched to Brendan."

"Do you know the person in the photo you accidentally saw?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Did you tell him?"

I shook my head. "I didn't tell anyone. I'm scared." I think Grandfather could tell I am interested in Drew. Well, not love, but just interested. "Sorry, this isn't good, is it?"

"No, its fine," he said.

Max dashed in. "I found it, Grandpa! Let's play."

"I'll let you two play now," I said. "I'll go help Mom. Have fun."

The following day, a Wednesday, Leaf offered to hang out. "Don't tell me you're busy again," Leaf exclaimed. "You never hang out with me."

"Wait what time is it?" I asked.

"Three forty-five," Leaf said.

"Then I can go hang out with you," I said. "I have a hiking class at five, so I'll probably have to go in an hour."

We walked to a bus station and Leaf frowned. "Hiking?" she said, surprised. "You're taking a hiking class? That's… different."

"I know," I said. "I think this is a good way for me to stay in shape. You know I've been eating a lot lately."

Leaf nodded. "Yeah, I'm worried you're eating too much. Maybe in some time you'll have to get a new size of clothes?" I hit her. "Sheesh, I was kidding! You're not fat; don't worry. Okay Gary brought me to this ice cream parlor and it's so good. We can just walk there. Seriously, it's so good. Best thing ever."

I laughed. "How many places did he bring you to?" I followed Leaf.

"A lot of places," Leaf said. "They were mostly food and sports. As expected."

"You've really fallen for him…" I said.

Leaf ignored me. "See? We're here. Wasn't that fast?" She dragged me over to all the flavors on display. "I like the mint with raspberry swirl. I might get chocolate fudge with a strawberry touch."

"I want to try mint and raspberry swirl," I said. I checked the prices. "Wow, it's cheap!"

Leaf grinned. "Isn't it?" We took our orders and took a seat. "Do you what Gary ordered? Peach ice cream, peppermint and root beer ice cream all together. Doesn't that sound gross?"

"Doesn't sound like a good combination," I said. "Did he like it?"

"First he ate them all together and he looked like he wanted to puke," Leaf said in an amused tone. I laughed. "So then he ate them separately but he didn't finish the root beer ice cream. That I understand."

"Number five!"

"Oh that's us," Leaf said. "Let's get our ice cream!" We stood up and got our ice cream. "Here, this one's yours. Kay, let's sit down again."

I stirred the ice cream a little with my spoon once we took our seat. "So how's your Match? Is everything good?" Then I smirked. "Actually, I can tell everything's good because you two are looking more and more romantic."

Leaf blushed. "Um yeah. We go on dates almost all the time. We go to school together and go home together."

"You're happy," I said. She nodded. "And who didn't like their Match?"

"Shut up," Leaf said. "I didn't like players. Now that he's Matched with me, he doesn't lay his hands or eyes on other girl's."

"You like that," I said, stating another fact.

"I do," Leaf said. Leaf doesn't like talking about herself, and I know that she wanted to change the subject. She did. "So how are you and Brendan? Did you progress from friends to lovers yet?"

I shook my head. "No. It's too weird. But I met—" I met someone by accident and now we're friends. I'm thinking he's supposed to be my Match but who knows? He's an Aberration so we can't be Matched, but we're friends and all. We've gotten really close. I feel like this is all a date with destiny but really it's all just a big fat Sin.

I can't tell Leaf that.


YOU CAN TELL HER SOON IT'S OKAY MAY… May your name rhymes with too much stuff, you know?

So yeah, there's the fantastic, long awaited update. Don't die and stay with me people. My heart will break and I will break down to tears.

No. That won't happen.

May's Grandfather is going to pass away soon. Isn't that sad? And uh oh, Grandfather wants to destroy the DNA sample that can be used to bring him back to life…

To be honest, I have no idea how they do that. Sigh… just wait though. It's not that important right now.

Drop a review on your way out, kay? Do not forget. Vote on my poll, too. And I have new future stories up on my profile that I am psyched about. The poll will be up sometime soon.

Tata for now. Review!
