Thanks for the reviews to part 6 and thanks to everyone that's kept reading this far. Here's part 7, I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 7 An Interrupted Holiday
It was two days after Ash won the tournament and the prize package for the trip for two to the Southern Island Holiday Resort. Caroline, Norman and Max had gone out for the day, and May and Ash were busy packing for the trip.
"This is taking longer than I thought," said May as she was stuffing her suitcase full of clothes.
Ash saw this and said. "We're only going for a week, there's no need to pack your whole wardrobe."
May glared at Ash and replied. "You should know that a girl likes to pack for every occasion. It's vital that we pack everything so we don't regret it later on."
"I do, it just seems like a lot for one week,"
"We'll it's not like I'm asking you to carry my suitcase for me, am I?"
"No, but you know I'm going to do it anyway,"
May smiled at Ash. "Because you love me?"
"No, because you'll probably start complaining that it's too heavy just like you used to do," replied Ash laughing as he ran out the bedroom door and down the stairs.
"You get back here Ash Ketchum," said May as she followed close behind.
Ash tried to make a break for the door but May cut him off and he tripped over in the living room. May got on top of Ash and started tickling him.
"This'll teach you to make fun of me,"
Ash was beside himself with laughter. He noticed Pikachu sitting on the lounge laughing.
'Help me Pikachu," said Ash as he felt his sides splitting.
"Pika, (you got yourself into this)," replied the yellow mouse as he went back to watching TV.
"Ok, I give," said Ash as he couldn't take the torture much longer.
May stopped tickling him and asked. "You gonna say that again?"
Ash rolled his eyes and replied. "Maybe."
"Ash," said May as she started moving her fingers again.
"Ok, ok, I wont say it again; just don't tickle me anymore,"
"Why not?"
"Because it's torture,"
"Oh really," said May as she started tickling Ash again.
"Yes," said Ash laughing. "It's really painful, please stop it."
"Ok," replied May as she stopped and got off of Ash and walked into the kitchen.
Ash turned to Pikachu who had been watching the couple muck around.
"Here's a tip buddy, don't tick off women. They can cause you serious pain. Damn." said Ash as he got up and joined May in the kitchen.
A minute after Ash entered the kitchen Pikachu heard a scream and went to see what was going on. When he got there he saw May screaming as she tried to get something out of her shirt and Ash was laughing as he held a tray full of ice. Pikachu just shook his head and went back to his lounge.
When May had finally got the ice out of her shirt she turned to look at Ash who was beside himself with laughter.
"That wasn't very nice,"
"I know, it's just my way of paying you back for tickling me,"
"I suppose fair is fair,"
"Yeah, now let's finish packing," said Ash as he started walking towards the stairs.
As they neared the room Ash said. "I just hope I don't get a hernia from carrying your suitcase."
He tried to fun for it but May grabbed his hand to stop him from getting away. Ash spun around and scooped May up into his arms and tossed her on the bed and closed the door. Pikachu could hear screams of laughter coming from the bedroom.
"They're never going to grow up," he thought as he shook his head and went back to watching TV.
The next day
May woke up early, as she was too excited to sleep. She couldn't wait to get to Southern Island and start relaxing on the beach. She got out of bed and got dressed. As she was doing so, she noticed that Ash was still sound asleep. She walked over to him and started running her fingers up and down his bare back.
"Come on Ashy, time to wake up,"
A huge smile appeared on his face and he turned over to hide it in his pillow. May got on top of his back and put her head next to his.
"If Ash doesn't get up I'm going to start tickling him,"
"If Ash gets tickled, then Ash will throw May into the pool,"
"You wouldn't dare?"
"You know I would,"
"Fine I won't tickle you, but can you please get up and get dressed?"
"Yeah, I suppose I could manage that," replied Ash as he got out of bed.
"Good, I'm going to go make breakfast and can you bring down the luggage while you're at it," said May as she ordered Ash to carry the luggage rather then ask him.
"Yes dear," replied Ash as he knew he wouldn't be getting fed if he didn't.
He then proceeded to get dressed and struggled to carry his and May's suitcases down the stairs. When he reached the bottom he placed them near the door with a rather loud thud.
"What was that?" asked May from the kitchen.
"Just me collapsing from the weight of your suitcase,"
"You're not sill on about that are you?" asked May as she walked into the entrance hall with a stern look on her face.
"Of course not, I was just messing with you," said Ash while holding up his hands and smiling to show he was joking. He didn't feel like getting tortured this early in the morning.
"Good, now let's eat, I'm starved."
May led Ash into the kitchen and was greeted by the smell of bacon and eggs. They both sat down and started to eat.
"This is really good," said Ash through a mouthful of bacon.
"Thanks," replied May. "But don't talk with your mouthful, it's disgusting."
"Sorry," said Ash. (From all this you'd think that they were already married).
Ash and May had just finished breakfast when Norman, Caroline and Max entered the kitchen.
"I see that you're already packed and ready to go," said Norman as he got the milk from the fridge.
"Yeah," replied May happily. "I can't wait to see the beaches."
"They're beautiful, I'll tell you that much,' said Caroline.
"Have you been there before mum?" asked Max.
"That's where your father and I had our honey moon,"
"Wow!" exclaimed May.
"Yeah, I can still remember the warm golden sand and the clear blue water, and your father showing off by pretending he can swim like a pro,"
"I sank like a rock and your mother ended up pulling me out,"
"That's so romantic," said May while slipping into her own daydream and imagining what her honeymoon would be like.
Caroline continued to tell them about the honeymoon until Ash noticed that May was still staring into space.
"Hay May, you alright?" asked Ash as he waved his hand in front of her face.
Ash startled May as she snapped back to the real world and she fell out of her chair.
"Don't do that," said May as Ash helped her back up.
"Sorry, you looked like you were in another world,"
"She was probably imagining what her honeymoon would be like after she's married you," said Max with a snigger.
"Shut up dweeb," said May as she pulled out her mallet and wacked Max on the head which caused a massive lump to appear.
The thought of marrying May had crossed Ash's mind once or twice but Max's comment had brought it back up again.
"9:30," said Norman as he interrupted Ash's thoughts. "Time for you two to get going or you'll miss the ferry."
"Yeah," said Ash as they walked to the entrance hall.
Ash picked up the luggage as he and May said goodbye to Norman, Caroline, Max and their pokemon, (which they would be leaving behind so they had no interruptions at all), and walked out the door and down the road to the Petalburg City Port.
Petalburg City Port/Ferry ride
"Looks like we made it just in time," said Ash as he and May arrived at the port and checked the time. "With ten minutes to spare, come on let's go get something to eat."
"But we only ate half an hour ago," said May sounding surprised at how quickly her boyfriend got hungry.
"Yeah and I was carrying your closet for you, beside I was only gonna get an ice-cream,"
"Well ok then," said May as the two walked to an ice-cream stand.
When they got to the ice-cream stand, they gazed in wonder at how big it was. The board on the top of the cart listed nearly every style and flavour of ice-cream you could get. Ash got a triple scoop choc-raspberry with sprinkles and May got a triple scoop choc-peppermint.
The two got so caught up in looking around the port they forgot that they only had they only had ten minutes to spare. They were nearing their ferry when they heard its horn blow.
"Oh no," said May. "We're going to miss the ferry."
"No we're not," said Ash as he grabbed Mays hand and the two started running towards the boat.
They made it just the ferry was about to disembark and Ash gave the ticket master their tickets as he apologized for holding them up.
"Not to worry," said the Ticket master as he took Ash's and May's tickets. "It happens all the time. That's why we take our time disembarking."
"We're still really sorry though," said Ash as he and May headed for their room.
As Ash unlocked the door and followed May in. The room was really flash. The two gazed at it as they looked around. It had a queen sized bed, plasma TV, and a medium sized bathroom that came with a spa bath.
"No wonder it was a prize in a tournament," thought Ash as he walked to the window and looked at the sea as it passed by. "It must cost a bundle for a ticket, let alone two. I wouldn't have been able to afford it if I hadn't won."
"Let's take a look around," said Ash as May put their luggage in a cupboard.
The ferry was massive. It had a massive ball and dining room that contained a lot of people. Some were trainers and others were tourists. Ash noticed that there was a battle going on and was about to join in when he remembered that he left all oh his pokemon back at May's house. He sighed as he and May continued to explore the boat.
Dinner was held at 6pm and everyone sat down at the massive dining table to eat. There were a lot of interesting people on board and Ash got into a conversation with some people over battle techniques, while May was talking to someone who had been to Southern Island before. After dinner was over most people went back to the ball room to continue socialising but May and Ash returned to their room to relax.
They were lying on the bed watching TV when May drifted off to sleep in Ash's arms. Ash looked at the time and noticed that it was 11pm. So he turned off the TV and snuggled up against May and went to sleep.
Southern Island Holiday Resort
It was 8 in the morning when the ferry made it to Southern Island. May and Ash were so excited to see what the resort was like, they ran off the ferry as soon as it was docked in the harbour.
The resort was huge. It was a massive white building that was 20 stories high and curved along the beach.
Ash and May entered the lobby and showed the guy at the desk their papers. He gave them their suite key and they hurried off to the elevators.
"This place is so huge and so beautiful," said May when they entered the elevator.
"Yeah, I can't wait to check out our room," said Ash as he pushed the button for the 20th floor.
When they reached the 20th floor they stepped out of the elevator and walked along the hall to find their room.
"221, 222, 223, 224, here we are, 225," said Ash as he unlocked the door.
He tossed their backs in and scooped May up into his arms. She laughed as she kissed him and he carried her into their room.
"What's this special treatment for?" asked May suspiciously.
"Do I need a reason to show affection to the woman I love?"
"No," answered May as she giggled again.
Ash carried May into their room, (which was a larger and better looking version of their room on the ferry), and out onto the balcony. They both gazed in astonishment at the view.
"Wow," they both exclaimed.
"The beach is so pretty," said May, still in Ash's arms.
"Yeah, and we've got a whole week to use it," said Ash. "Let's go swimming."
Ash then turned back into the room and placed May onto the bed as he went to get his boardies out of his bag. May then got up and got one of her less revealing bikinis out of her suitcase.
They then headed down to the beach. When they got there, Ash picked May up and headed for the water. As soon as Ash did this, she knew what he was about to do.
"Don't you dare," said May as she tightened her hold on Ash.
"One, two three," said Ash as threw May into the water.
She emerged from the water spluttering.
"That wasn't very funny," said May as she coughed up water.
"I'm sorry," said Ash as he waded towards May.
As soon as he was near enough, May grabbed hold of his shoulders and dunked him under the water. May started laughing as Ash emerged from the water. She stopped suddenly when she saw the evil grin that Ash had on his face.
"You're gonna get it now," said Ash as he started moving towards May.
"No, no, no," said May laughing as she tried to get away from Ash.
The two spent the rest of the day playing around in the water. They then had dinner in the fabulous dinning room at the resort and spent a passionate night in bed.
The whole week was spent wandering around Southern Island, looking at all the shops and theme parks. (May quickly spent the 50,000 that Ash got with the holiday tickets). They also spent a lot of time at the beach and lounging around in their luxurious suite enjoying their time together.
On the last day, Ash took May to a secluded spot in the national park that had a lake that was filled by an inlet from the ocean. Ash picked a tree that was near the lake and had a view of the ocean. They had finished eating when a musical sound came from the lake. It sounded like this: do, do, do, do do, do. Do, do, do, do do dooooooooooo. Do, do, do, do do do, do. (You can probably think of the tune somewhere. It was in a pokemon movie).
"That's beautiful," said May as she got up to try and see what was making the sound.
Her search was in vain because it was coming from below the water. May turned around to go sit back down when Ash took her in his arms. She put her head against his chest and lost herself in the moment. Ash gave her a kiss on the forehead and looked towards the lake. A white head with blue markings on the side poked out of the water. Ash gave a thumbs up to Lugia who dived back under the water and swam back out to sea. (Ash had called in a favour and Lugia was more then happy to oblige).
Ash had been planning this moment since he won the tournament and knew that he had better do it now. He got down on one knee and May looked down at him.
"What are you doing?" she asked while trying to suppress a laugh.
Ash reached into his pocket and took out a small, red box. May's eyes started to water as she looked at the box in Ash's hand. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by an explosion. Both he and May were knocked off their feet but Ash quickly regained them.
"Who's there?" asked Ash while spreading his arms to protect May who grabbed them feeling really scarred.
The smoke from the explosion quickly spread blocking their vision. Ash couldn't see anything and was suddenly hit by something and his body went rigid. Ash fell to the ground and hit his head on a rock. He started to fall unconscious and could here someone screaming.
"ASH, HELP ME,"
"May," he said as he passed out. His world goes black.
