Hey! I'm back! Already! YAY! I'm actually on a huge writing spree right now because my ideas are pumping since I'm finally getting closer to the REAL action! So just going to warn you amazing readers, I am going to end this soon and create, yet another sequel story to this one. It'll just be easier to do it that way so I won't have to have 50 million chapters on this story. That's why I changed the name of the story. I just would be annoyed by the 16th chapter (since there would be one) so I was like, SCREW IT! ANOTHER SEQUEL! There might be a sequel to the next sequel too... My ideas to amaze you (hopefully) are a lot and I need a gradual build to the end :) So if you like this story, good news! It's not ending that soon yet. And I'm sorry for those who don't like long stories! I promise though that this story will be unlike any other and will be worth it! :D I LOVE YOU ALL!

Isabelle: Disclaimer, Yuukimari doesn't own Pokémon nor any of the characters from Pokémon.

Jayy: She does, however, own me and Isabelle as well as OC's that are yet to come. Thank you and enjoy the new chapter! :)

Chapter 8

May and Drew got back to the room and started packing. While they did, they exchanged few words. The silence wasn't awkward of course since May was used to it, thanks to grass-head and their long distance traveling. At first when they started traveling together, it was awkward. May was used to having Ash, Brock and Max to talk to and they usually talked as they walked so of course she tried to keep a conversation going with Drew but he seemed uninterested. Eventually he told May that he'd prefer to talk whenever they took rest stops and even then he didn't really open up.

May smiled as she remember how they started their journey together in Johto. It was almost like fate when she thought about it now. May blushed at her thought but thankfully Drew didn't notice.

'We used to fight a lot actually.' May thought as she remembered the past. She remembered when they had their first real conversation as they ate around a fire. They weren't near any PokeCenters so they had to make do with camping. May had made some stew for them and their conversation started with Drew complaining about how the stew wasn't that great when May was proud of it since she hadn't cooked much before that. May knew it wasn't great but since she was stubborn, they ended up arguing about it for a while before May finally gave in. She was actually rewarded by Drew's beautiful, true laughter. May hadn't heard it before and she really was enticed by it. He never laughed like that before around her so she found it almost like a gift. He seemed to let up on the teasing a little bit after that, sharing some stories about his travels in Hoenn. He traveled alone of course and this was his first time traveling together with her. May remembered how he distinctly said, 'I'm really glad you asked me to travel with you. It's a lot more fun than going alone. This way I can entertain myself by teasing you as much as I want.' Of course he flipped his hair arrogantly like always but now that she recapped those words, she realized how happy they made her. She didn't realize it at the time since she was too busy fuming about the teasing part.

'What if those words meant that he was happy to be traveling with me specifically?' May suddenly thought, blushing a little. She glanced at Drew and smiled a little to herself before looking away.

"Hey Drew?" May asked, smiling to herself as she realized that what he said probably did mean that he liked traveling with her specifically. Drew didn't look up from his packing.

"Hn?" He responded, his mind more focused on checking off his check list of the supplies they had.

"Do you remember our first, true conversation? You know, when I made stew and all?" May asked as she folded her new clothes she had retrieved when she was shopping with Jayy. Drew chuckled.

"Yeah, I remember your terrible stew alright. I think it killed about one fourth of my taste buds!" Drew teased, grinning. May made a fake, mad face and hit him with a pillow, laughing a little. Drew laughed as he fell over from his previous squatting position. They were on the floor, putting their stuff away.

"Yeah, yeah whatever! Anyway, do you remember when you said that you were happy that I asked you to travel with me?" May asked, folding another shirt. Drew looked at her.

"Yeah, why?" Drew asked, curious.

"Well what exactly did you mean by that? Like, did you mean you were happy to be traveling with me?" May asked.

"Well that is what I said, isn't it?" Drew replied, tilting his head in confusion as to what she was asking. He secretly knew of course since he's a f*cking genius but he wanted to see her flip out again. (Sorry! Deathnote abridged reference!)

May rolled her eyes and stopped her folding to look at him.

"No baka! I'm asking if you were saying you were happy that you were traveling with me specifically." May sighed, slightly annoyed with his smart ass remarks.

"Ohhhhh! Well why didn't you say so shorty?" Drew grinned, teasing her again. May glared playfully and hit him again with the pillow. Drew laughed his true laugh that May absolutely loved.

"Stop teasing me Grass Head and answer the question!" May exclaimed. Drew chuckled.

"Yeah, that's what I meant." Drew nodded. May blushed a little and smiled.

"Thank you." She responded as she turned back to her clothes, folding another shirt and putting it in the suitcase. "Hey, we're checking our luggage in tonight, right?" May asked.

"Yeah. By the way, did you just figure out what my words meant?" Drew smirked, counting the pokeballs they had. May blushed more and rolled her eyes.

"Doesn't matter." She retorted. Drew laughed.

"Wow May. I didn't know you were so dense." Drew smirked at her. May shot him a glare and he grinned at her cutely and she rolled her eyes in response, laughing a little since she knew she was just teasing like usual.

'It's nice to have the old Drew back. He had been acting so weird since the incident when I ran off.' May thought. Suddenly, her mind shot to the events that occured at the forest and the information that there are said to be more pokemon that were like the Sneasle. She also remember how Drew woke up this morning. May took a deep breath, trying not to cry as she thought of the possibilites of other pokemon like that.

"Drew?" May murmured in a soft voice. Drew immediately shot his eyes to her, worried by her suddenly soft tone.

"Yes?" He asked, a little afraid of the question she was about to ask.

"What was your dream last night? Why did you wake up screaming my name? What happened?" May asked gently, meeting his eyes. The emerald orbs widened slightly before deepening as he looked away from her. She could tell that this was a touchy subject which made her question more as to why that was.

"It was just a nightmare. I don't remember specifically what happened anymore." Drew lied smoothly, putting on a strong look that May could believe in. May felt her heart tug as she thought of the possibility of him lying but just nodded and smiled.

"Okay well if you remember it, please tell me." May said comfortingly before going back to her clothes. She suspected that he was lying but didn't know for sure so she dropped it for now.

"Sure." Drew nodded, turning back to the supplies. His eyes darkened once they were away from potential view as he recalled the terrifying dream.

'I just hope that what I heard at the bar wasn't true and if it is, we don't get involved somehow.' Drew thought, worried. If only he knew how involved they'd become...

MWUAHAHAHAHAHA! Foretelling cliffhanger right there! I win! XD Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this and I will update either tonight or some day soon since I'm flowing with ideas and chapters! :D Hope you enjoyed it! Please read and review! BYYYEEEEE!
