A/N: hey! this chapter turned long... hope you guys like it since the other day was shorter

Chapter 8

Next morning May woke up first, Max rolled over his bed still sleepy as he heard May's morning noises. "See you're not sleepy anymore" said when he finally sat up in his bed. "You slept for ages"

"Hum... I'm sorry Max. I didn't mean to worry you but yeah! I slept really well" answered May

"Huh that's weird" said Max looking at the table. "This morning there are two of them"

"Two of them?" asked May

"Two roses" pointed Max. "Yesterday morning I found one and figured out it was maybe from Drew but now... there are two of them... where did you get them? I mean, you were already sleep when I entered here last night"

May started panicking inside, she just couldn't tell Max she'd been meeting Drew at night, that didn't sound well. "Maybe they came through the window" was the only thing she thought about.

"What?"

"That's it. You know, I was here all night and couldn't receive anything from Drew besides, he only gives me one every time we met"

"Are you saying they just flew into here?" said Max sceptically

"Maybe?" said May sweatdropping. "By the way, you said you found another rose yesterday, where is it?"

"It's right there" answered Max pointing ar a glass of water. "I put it there yesterday before you woke up"

"Thanks Max, I'll put these two there too" said May as she walked across the bedroom and then added with a grin. "Let's get breakfast"

Max and May walked downstairs and joined Ash and Brock who were inthe gardenfeeding their pokemon along with Drew.

"Look who woke up early" said Drew in a sarcastic tone as he saw May coming

"I slept well thanks!" replied May in the same mod

"Good morning guys" said Ash. "We already fed our pokemon. Let's get some breakfast"

"Maybe it's a good idea to feed your pokemon sometime, right May?" said Drew sarcastically

"I was going to! Drew!" May huffed back andstarted looking in her bag."Let's see... I have sme pokeblock right here"

"You can take this" offered Ash showing her a dish with pokemon food.

"Thanks Ash but I can give them..." May was interrupted by Drew

"Maybe you can accept Ash's offer" said Drew with a smirk. "You should feed them with real food once in a while. Mostly if they haven't eaten since yesterday morning"

"Yeah maybe you're right" said May looking at the food and then cried "Hey! What did you mean by real food!"

"Come on! It's too early for you two start bickering each other" pointed Brock in a way to stop them.

Drew just closed his eyes in agreement and added. "Yeah... follow me, breakfast must be ready"

When May finished feeding her pokemon, she joined the others at the dining room where they were waiting for her. As soon as she took her seat Andy made an announcement.

"Drew, May, I have something important to tell you"

"You do?" said Drew intrigued

"There's a contest here in La Rousse in two weeks. I was thinking that maybe you two can enter. And of course, it'll use our new invention"

"That's great!" cried May. "So that's why you were asking Drew to come along with us yesterday to the lab, right?"

"Yeah, I wanted him to see it first for the contest."

"I wouldn't be so happy to loose again if I were you, May" added Drew with a smirk. "You've only beaten me once and because of time limit"

"Well I will this time!" cried May. "I just need some practice in that platform"

"You'll sure have some advantage" pointed Ash happily. "And who knows, you could end up facing each other at the finals"

"Yes, and you see... this platform can display all kinds of settings. From a sunny day for a powerfull solar beam, to a full moon night for dark type pokemon" added Andy

"That would do good to my Absol" pointed Drew. "Hey! you can use your Umbreon too, May" offered him looking at her. Ash, Brock and Max's eyes widened in awe as they heard the word Umbreon.

"Wow May! We didn't know you got an Umbreon.When did Eevee evolve?" asked Ash excited.

"Well I..." tried to explain May

"An Umbreon huh? It must have evolved during the full moon last night" pointed Max

"Well... yeah" sweatdropped May

"And how did he know about it?" asked Max suspiciously shooting a glare at Drew

"Maybe someone talked too much" Andy teased Drew who sweatdropped as well.

Max was going to tease May too but was interrupted by the knocking of the door.

"Who might be this early in the morning?" asked Drew raising an eyebrow.

"I'll check" said Andy and rushed to the door. Minutes later she entered the dining room with Dawson.

"Good morning guys" said him as he entered the room. "I've come to pick you up"

"How nice" said granny. "This kids have just finished their breakfast, so they can go with you"

"I'm not going" said Drew as he raised from the chair. All at the table looked at him intrigued. "I have nothing to do there... today is Ash turn, isn't it?" said and left the room.

Minutes later, Ash and the gang where getting ready to go with Dawson to the lab. May was thinking about what Drew said... today was going to be Ash's day... why would she go there while she rather be training somewhere else?

May finally decided not to go with them and said she was going to train instead. When the gang was gone she could see Drew leaving the house.Wasn't he going to train too? Where could he go? And then she decided to follow him without letting him notice her.

"Are you planning to follow me all day?" said Drew after he had walked some blocks

"You have a problem with that?" May replied back

Drew frowned an eyebrow and said "Fine, you can go with me"

"I wasn't asking for your permission" argued May in response

May and Drew walked into the transporting bands (A/N: I said before I didn't know what were they called :P) that led downtown. Drew was the first and made May rush into them for catching him up. However, she made a wrong step and ended falling down, not after she grabbed Drew's arm as well, making him fall on top of her in an awkward possition.

"Geez May, Can't you be more careful?" protested Drew trying in get out of May

Several people from other transporting bands looked at them laughing and making some comments as 'How cute couple' or 'Get a room', there were also a bunch of girls crying 'Isn't that Drew? Oh my gosh he's back', 'Look at his girlfriend, she doesn't deserve him!'. Both of them blushed at these statements and got up immediately.

"I'm sorry" said May in embarrasment

"We must get out of here" said Drew as he took May's hand and jumped out of the transporting bands. "From now we'll just walk" he informed

They walked in silence for a while, none of them wanted to say a word after the incident. Finally Drew spoke. "May, why are you with me?" May blushed at his question, getting the wrong idea. Drew took notice of this and added "I mean, today, are you planing to do something? I must tell you my granny asked me to buy some stuff and I will be busy for a while" informed Drew

May nodded and said "I don't care at all, I can help you if you want"

"Ok then" answered Drew

Both of them entered a few stores and bought all kind of stuff, from cooking books to gardening tools. Drew gave May a few bags and kept the heavy ones. They finished before lunch time.

"I didn't know you do this kind of stuff for your granny" said May after the got out from their last store

"Neither did I" sweatdropped Drew as he said that

"Why is that?" giggled May

"I don't know, I just fell like helping her a bit since I haven't been here in a while"

"Hey Drew... Aren't you getting hungry?" said May interrupting him. "I mean, it's almost lunch time"

"Yeah I think we should eat something before we go home"

"Are we done yet?"

"Yeap I got everything I needed. And that's all because of your help" said Drew staring at her with a grin

"Well then" said May turning around to hide her red face after Drew's speech. "We should go eat. Do you know a good place?"

Drew stood there deep in thought. Where could he take May? "I don't know a lot of places here but I really liked that place when I was little" Drew finally said. "I'm not sure if it's ok to take you there"

"Hmm I don't care as I'm starving"

"Ok then... don't blame me later" replied him and began to walk again

May opened her mouth in amusement when they arrived at Drew's place. "It's just perfect" mumbled May with gleamy eyes and then added out loud. "How did you know these where my favourite?"

"They are?" asked Drew looking how awkward was the moment as they were in front of a noodle restaurant. "Well I liked them when I was little, I haven't eat them since then"

"Seems like we have the same likings" said May as she entered the place

"As this dishes are really big I'm buying a small one" said Drew looking at the food

"Not me... I'm really hungry" said May before screaming. "What!"

"What is it?" asked Drew

"I don't have that money!" complaint May

"Forgot to tell you they were quite expensive" sweatdropped Drew

"I must have known you could afford it" protested May

"I can lend you some..."

"Money?" May finished the sentence for Drew who was looking into his pocket

"I'm sorry. I don't have enough for two dishes" said Drew a bit embarrased

Suddenly, May got an idea "Hey look" said pointing at an advertisment. "We can buy this big dish with this big juice and share it"

"Ok, it's fine with me as they are big enough"

After some minutes they had their food on the table. May and Drew took their chopsticks and buried them into the noodles but when they got them out they found some of the noodles were in both chopsticks and couldn't get separated.

"You know, this reminds me of a movie I saw when I was little" say May smiling. "It was about a poochyena that had this big crush on growlithe but as he wasn't rich as her they couldn't be together. And there was a part in this movie when he invites her dinner to a noodle restaurant and they ended eating the same noodle and kissed"

"I don't know about you May, but I wouldn't like someone to kiss me while I'm eating" said Drew as he took the noodles from May's chopsticks and ate them.

"Hey those were mine!" protested May but was too late. "And I wouldn't like that either. I was just commenting how romantic it was" added

"Romantic you say? It's disgusting" said Drew. "I know more romantic things than that" added as he drank some juice.

"Like roses?" teased May making Drew choke. "And this is mine too" said as she leaned to drink from Drew's glass. Drew just saw her with a smirk.

Both of them finished their meal really fast. Eventhough most of the time were eating the other's food, they didn't care as they were really hungry.

May and Drew returned home but when they went through the entrance, Drew's face darkened as he glared to the person staring next to his sister.

A/N: That's it... I finished it right there since it was getting longer o.O... guess who's next to Andy?.. bleh by now you must know that xD... see ya next chapter
