Chapter ten

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"But why did she call you for?"

"If I knew I would already done it by now Amelia"

"Why don't you call her back?"

"Yeah"

Ash opened up the contacts on his phone and scrolled down to find May's name. When Ash found May's name he pressed enter and soon and phone started to ring. Ash was praying that May would answer his call. Soon a soft sweet voice answered Ash's call.

"Hello?"

"May?" The raven boy asked

"Ash?" the brunette replied with happiness

"It's me alright. Anyway why did you call me anyway?"

"I want you and Amelia to come for my 16th birthday"

"Your sixteen already?"

"Time flies doesn't it?"

"Yeah it dose"

"Well when is the party?"

"In one week"

"Okay then. See you in three days"

"Yeah"

The two dropped the call. Ash had a smile bigger than his face. It was a while since he had heard May's sweet voice. Ash could smell her already. Ash felt so happy once again. This was the second time he was going to see May and this time he was going to tell her how much he loved her.

Amelia could tell in her older brother's smile that he was once again in love with May. Amelia hadn't seen him smile like this for a long time. It was nice to have the old Ash back again. Then Amelia remembered something.

"Umm big bro?"

"Yeah?"

"How do we get out of this forest by the way?"

"Oh. I nearly forgot about that"

Meanwhile May was in her room. Laying on her bed with the cordless phone against her chest. It was so nice to hear Ash's voice over the phone. May had a happy feeling in her that she didn't had for a very long time.

Max just heard the conversation by putting his ear against the door of his sister's bedroom door. He was glad to hear that Ash was coming back but he was afraid at the same time. He was afraid of what Ash's reaction would be if she knew that May already had a boyfriend and sadly that was Drew. Max wished May still loved Ash and Ash still felt the same.

A day later Ash and Amelia were on the boat heading to Petalburg. Ash was so happy that he couldn't sleep but at the same time he had a very bad feeling. He felt that when he got to Petalburg something bad would happen and he wouldn't like it one bit.

Meanwhile Amelia was outside of the boat. She was on her cell phone talking to Max. she didn't have a very good look on her face. The two were whispering to each other over the phone so their older brother and sister wouldn't know what they were talking about.

"So May already has a boyfriend and that's Drew?"

"Yeah but I can tell she's in love with Ash"

"What are we going to do? If my older brother knew about May already with a boyfriend he will be crushed"

"I know. That is what I'm afraid of Amelia"

"My poor brother"

"But I can tell Drew would understand if she went to Ash. She hasn't been the same since that party a year ago"

"Same with Ash. I can tell behind his smile he is really sad because he didn't tell how much he loved your sister"

"Well I know Drew will understand about Ash and May"

"Yeah"

"And Amelia?"

"What is it Max?"

"I can't wait for us to be related"

"Max don't say that yet. We don't even know if Ash will cope about tomorrow"

"Let's just hope for the best Amelia"

"Yeah. Let's hope for the best"

After this conversation the two ended their call. Amelia went back into the room she was sharing with Ash. Amelia could see her brother with a happy smile. She knew that the smile he had wasn't going to last long. She was afraid that her brother was going to heartbroken again. And this time she was scared than ever. She was even more scared than anybody she had seen scared.

It was sun setting when the two were at the Petalburg port with May, Max and Drew waiting for them. May was the happiest out of them all. With her huge smile she was the happiest girl Ash and Amelia had ever seen. But what annoyed Ash the most was Drew holding May's hand. Ash knew he was jealous but he tried to hide it behind his smile.

Soon the boat made its stop and the two got off. Amelia went straight to greet Max and May went straight to Ash who she gave a huge hug. Ash put his arms around May. It was so nice to feel May's hugs again. Ash could see Drew wasn't jealous. Ash thought Drew was happy to see May happy once again. Soon May parted her hug with Ash and walked back to Drew. Ash had a very bad feeling about this.

"Ash this is my boyfriend Drew" May said with a tone of sadness in her voice

Ash was crushed. He broke like glass. Falling into tiny of pieces and never to be put together again. Max and Amelia were shocked to find that May said it straight away and the two had just came here. The two younger siblings walked away from the group.

"What are we going to do? Your sister just blurts the words like if my brother didn't like her!" Amelia complained

"You're not the only one who is shocked about this. Now I'm really going to be related to green boy!" Max complained back

"Look, this isn't going to help"

"So what are we going to do"

"I think we can't so anything else but just wait and pray"

Max sighed.

"Do you think it's too late?" Max said as he look at the three talking

"Hopefully not. I don't want to live with a heartbroken brother for the rest of my life"

"Same here"

The two went up and joined the rest of the group. Ash could tell he didn't cope with the good news about May not begin available anymore. But Ash was good at hiding his emotion and pretended he liked it. It was hard to see the girl you love with someone else and you haven't told her how much you love her after all these years.

"So shall we head to your place May?" Ash suggested

"Sure" May smiled

The five all headed back to May's place in Petalburg. Ash walked behind May and Drew who were holding hands and talking very sweetly. Ash couldn't hold it any longer. He just wanted to head back to Pallet and never show his face again to May. Amelia and Max were side by side to Ash.

Soon the five were back at May's place. They had just come home just at time. May's mother, Caroline had just finished cooking. She was surprised to see the five were back but she was more surprised to see a little girl with long brown hair was in the group.

"Hello everyone" Caroline greeted

"It's nice to see you again. Amelia this is Caroline. May and Max's mother"

"Ash is Amelia your girlfriend?" Caroline asked

The two siblings just cracked up laughing. They had never had anyone say they were girlfriend or boyfriend in their lives. Especially if it was your best friend's mom when the two stopped laughing Ash answered Caroline's question.

"Amelia is my younger sister"

"Oh my. Sorry about that Ash"

"It's okay Mrs. Maple. Ash and I get that a lot on our journey's" Amelia replied

"So you travel with your brother now?"

"Yeah"

Soon Norman had came back from training in the gym. He was also surprised to find so many people at his home. Caroline went up to greet her husband.

"Hello dear. How was your training session in the gym?"

"It was okay"

"Oh yes dear. This is Amelia. Ash's younger sister" Caroline pointed

"Well what do you know. Ash having a little sister. Just like May and Max"

"So shall we eat now?" May interrupted

"Yes dear. Go ahead"

The five young teenagers all headed to table and without any hesitation they all started to eat.

Soon it was dark and it was time to head to sleep. Ash and Amelia slept in the guest room. Everyone was asleep except May. She couldn't believe that Ash was in her presents once again. She quietly creeps into the guest room. She opened the door. There was a little squeak but that didn't really wake up the two sleepyheads. May went up to Ash's bed.

She could see Ash's actually sleep. Just like a baby. This reminded her when Amelia and her used Pikachu to wake up Ash. May could never forget that day and the day she fell in love with this suborned Pokémon trainer. Still after a year she still had feelings for both Ash and Drew. It was so hard to choose which one she really loved.

May kissed Ash on the cheek and left to her room. When May got to her room she grabbed one of Drew's roses and the half contest ribbon she won with Ash back in Hoenn. She looked at them very carefully. She had mixed emotions for the two. May looked at the red rose and then looked at the half pink contest ribbon. May couldn't decide who she loved more. Did she love Drew more than Ash or did she love Ash more the Drew.

The confused brunette was now more confused than ever. She was in love with two guys and she didn't know who she loved more.
