Ash was looking out of the window, seeing May leave.

"Maybe I should have gone with her, she could be attacked again. No, she is smart and will go thru the main street, were it is crowded. And if I go after her, Morrison wouldn't stop teasing me about it."

Ash looked back in his room, suddenly he found it empty.

"It was nice having someone over, even if it was for school."

Suddenly a loud noise came from the hallway. Ash took a look and saw Morrison lying on the floor with his foot stuck in a bucket.

"God, he is such an idiot" Ash muttered to himself.

"Ash, help me, will ya." Morrison begged.

Ash sighed and grabbed the bucket. "On three, One, two, Three." Ash pulled with all his strength and the bucket let loose.

"Thanks"

"How did you get your foot stuck in a bucket?"

"Happened while I was cleaning, since I got cleaning duty in stead of you."

"God, your such a moron. Give me the bucket and I will fill it up and help you since your to stupid to do it yourself."

"Aww, I love you to Ash." Morrison said in a high pitch voice.

Ash grunted and went inside his room to fill up the bucket with water and some cleaning products. He also took an extra mop so that he could help.

"Lets get this over with." Ash muttered.

After a few minutes of silence, Morrison spoke up.

"So, Ash. Are they real?"

Ash isn't the one to go on rampage and go punch him like Wes and May would, instead he just used his soaking wet mop and pushed it in his crotch.

"Real mature Ash." Morrison said annoyed.

"Well, first I would go for the head, but you think with that thing there so this seemed better."

"Touché. But, is she your girlfriend or something?"

"You mean May? We have a history project together. Nothing more."

"If you ask me, She likes you."

"But nobody asked you."

"Think about it. Every time I made a comment about you two, She started blushing."

"Didn't notice, and besides, we are to different. She is smart, wealthy, social,"

"Smoking hot." Morrison interrupted

"That to, and what am I, just an orphan." Ash said gloomy.

"You know that isn't true. Your strong, smart, and you may not be very social but your very kind and loyal. And about your looks, I can't judge that because I don't swing that way."

"If you say so."

"And what do you mean with that?"

"Nothing."

"O god Morrison." Wes said, joining the conversation. "Your twelve years old and you still wet your pants."

Morrison gave Ash a angry glare. "His fault." Morrison muttered.

"Well, you probably deserved it."

Morrison groaned. "Can we leave?"

Wes gave the hallway a quick look. "Sure, its clean enough."

"Finally, Ash what are you cooking tonight?"

"I think I gonna cook beans for dinner."

"You always make to much beans, so can I have dinner with you, I don't feel like cooking for myself."

Ash sighed. "Fine."


May was staring at her plate.

"May, you haven't eaten a thing, what's wrong?" Caroline asked.

"Nothing mom."

"At least eat something."

"I should be grateful, Ash doesn't have a mother who cooks for him." May took a few bites. Slowly she managed to finish her plate.

"May, did you ask Ash about the case against Harley?"

"Yeah, he is willing to help."

"Alright, remember that it is this Saturday at two o'clock ."

"Sure mom."

"He mom, where is dad." Max, May's little brother, asked.

"He is at a business meeting, he should be back tonight."

"Can I leave?" May asked.

Caroline looked surprised. "Uhh, sure."

After May left Caroline turned to Max. "Do you know what is bothering your sister?"

Max shook his head.

"Great" Caroline said sarcastic.

May was in her computer, as soon as she was online, Dawn sent a message.

Call me

May obeyed and picked up her cell phone and dialed Dawn's number.

"How did your date go?" She screamed true the phone.

"It was alright." May answered

"And, did you find out anything about him?"

"Yeah, he is an orphan."

Dawn was quit for a minute. "Your kidding, right?"

"No, I went to his room, in an orphanage."

"Wow, it explains a bit why he acts so anti social. Do you still like him?"

"Of course, Ash is Ash, I don't like him because of his parents. And it does have its positive sides. I never have to meet his parents and he can easily sneak out."

"You mean you two are a couple now, that's great!"

"No, where not. I mean, I wouldn't mind but where not."

"Did he show you any signs of liking you?"

"Not really, but I did saw him shirtless. And it looked good. Except the bandages."

"Lucky bastard, I have to hang up now, Mom is calling, see you tomorrow."

"Bye." May hung up smiling. Dawn always could cheer her up without trying.


"That was great, Ash." Morrison said after finishing his plate. Meanwhile, Ash was feeding Pikachu.

"Thanks." Ash muttered.

"I will be heading back to my room now, I know how you hate visitors."

"Sure, see you later."

"Later."

The minute after that, Ash was bored out of his mind. Seeing nothing to do, he decided to clean up his room. That included taking out the trash. So, Ash took out the trash and dumped it in the dumpster outside, where he met Wes.

"yo, Ash."

"Wes." Was all Ash said before throwing his trash in the dumpster.

"How are you doing?"Wes asked.

"Bored."

"How about a light sparring match, like old times."

"Sure but take it easy, I am still wounded."

The went to the garden of the orphanage. It wasn't big but big enough for a light sparring match. Ash saw a few kids playing on the swing. He always found it sad when young children where here. To lose your parents at such a young age. Usually they get adopted, something that happened when they where young, older kids go out of the orphanages when they leave for college.

"Ready?" Wes asked.

"Bring it on." Ash replied.

Seeming they both use the same fighting style of defending, create an opening and then strike, nobody attacked.

"Who will attack first?" Ash shouted.

"I will." Wes shouted.

Wes ran up to Ash, trying to punch him. Ash simply sidestepped and he could hit Wes. Wes had his other hand low so he could get a grip on Ash his wrist. Having one of his hands, Wes pulled and Ash was forced to drop his guard, allowing Wes to grab his other hand. Having both hands, Wes started pushing. Because of a seven year age difference, Wes was much stronger and managed to over power Ash. However, Ash was a fighter and didn't go down easy. Getting a good hold on Wes his wrists, Ash pulled himself up and placed his feat against Wes his chest and started pushing. (A/N: Like Vegeta against android 20 in DBZ, how Vegeta ripped his hands of.) Ash then started kicking against his chest. with one leg. Wes knew Ash had beat him again and gave up.

"Even wounded you manage to beat me, where was the time I beat you without trying?"

"That was before you started training me."

"Still nice work."

"Thanks. It was fun."

Ash walked away but Wes said something that stopped him.

"I don't know if you noticed, but you're acting different."

"What do you mean?" Ash said.

"Take Morrison for example, You helped him cleaning and cooked for him. Before, you would just ignore him and call him an idiot. It can be my imagination, but I think that May has something to do with it."

Ash let dose words sink to him for a moment before realizing he was right.

"You should get to know May better, cause the nice guy suits you much better. It seems natural."

Ash just stared at him. "Well, I got things to do. Bye" Wes said leaving Ash dumbfound.
