Special Song Lyrics ← Always at the start of the chapter.

Chapter 12-

She said, "I want something that I want
Something that I tell myself I need,"

Flames glared at nothing in particular and then sighed just like Drew had done. He put his paw in Drew's still outstretched hand and they shook hands for a brief moment, glaring at each other.

May's eyes shifted up to the sky and she walked forward, looking up.

She broke apart Flame's and Drew's handshake and both males stared at her as she walked ahead.

Flames's eyes never left May but he lifted a hoof and rammed it into Drew's side.

Drew doubled up in pain with a "Oof!" and fell to the ground as Flames grinned with satisfaction .

XOXOX

May ran ahead over the bridge towards the island.

The view was spectacular as you could see the castle rising in the middle of the small island. Houses surrounded the castle and the atmoasphere was jolly.

May jumped, excited, pointed to the castle and ran accross the bridge, Drew and Flames following at a more leisurely pace.

Drew chuckled slightly as she mouthed ~Wow!~ to him and ran ahead.

As May bounced on her feet and took in the sight, Drew spotted a wanted poster of himself. He quick ripped it off and crumpled it, looking around to make sure nobody saw him.

He jumped when he felt Flames breathing down his neck and shoved the crumpled piece of paper into his mouth.

Drew had just crossed his hands smugly when the Pokemon spit the poster onto his face.

Flames whinneyed as if to laugh because it had landed on his face in such a way as it fit perfectly while Drew swiped it off his face and shoved Flames.

Flames shoved him back and Drew shoved again. Flames shoved back and Drew grabbed him around the neck. Flames bit into Drew's pants and the two started fighting.

They stopped however when Torchic shot a birrage of emers at them both and narrowed its eyes at them.

They jumped apart and gave each other dirty glares before following May quietly.

May, on the other hand was busy gwaking at the activity around her to notice the two behind her.

As soon as Torchic turned to follow May again, Drew nudged Flames again and Flames rammed him back. Drew nudged again and they continued to glare at each other.

May pushed through the crowd as they reached at the ned of the bridge and finally entered the kingdom.

There were people everywhere, selling fruit, flowers, chatting, running and houses were cvered in banners, flowers plants and greenery.

One flag, particularly, was everywhere. It was triangular and had a bright orange sun on it.

May grinned around but just as she stepped forward, a cart rushed past her and she stumbled back, banging into a woman. She jumped forward and a bunch of geese flew into her.

May stumbed to another side quickly, gasping. A kid stepped on her hair by mistake and she banged into another man.

She then stumbled back again banging into a man as various people stepped on her hair.

She quickly bent down to collect her hair as Drew started to collect it from the end of the bridge, where he had just reached.

When all May's hair was in Drew and May's hands, Drew pursed his lips and looked around.

He spotted a bunch of kids braiding each other's hair and called them over.

They gasped as they caught sight of her hair and ran over giggling.

Drew pointed to May's hair and told them something and they quickly nodded.

Drew leaned against a short wall, Flames standing with him, watching as the girls weaved May's long golden hair into a plait.

They each grabbed a part and jumped over each other, almost as if playing a game as they doubled May's hair over.

Drew casually looked over his shoulder and quickly ducked down as he spotted a couple of soldiers on patrol.

Flames glared at him but noticed his eyes going soft while looking somewhere else.

He looked to see May's hair braided three times over -so that the braid was as thick as her body and reached down till her feet- with flowers stuck everywhere in her hair so that it stayed.

May gasped, twirled around and jumped in excitement. She then bent down and pulled the girls into a hug, " Thank you!" She squealed as the girls giggled.

Drew's lips twiched up into a smile as both fire Pokemon looked at him knowingly.

Drew saw them looking at him and pushed them away, embarassed.

Drew followed May about as she ran from stall to stall, picking up stuff, looking at it and shoving them into his hands.

He would place the object back into the stall with a half smile and follow May to her next stop.

May grabbed his hand and dragged him to a shop whith a long line.

They stood in line and Drew counted the coins in his pocket.

May looked around, distracted and her gaze fell on a huge mozaic.

She walked towards it slowly abserving it. It looked like a handseome man in a cape wearing a crown with a beautiful woman beside him. They were collectively holding a child with stunning sapphire eyes and golden hair.

The man and woman were the king and queen, May made out.

When she looked down at the foot of the mozaic, she saw a little girl gesture to a flower and explain to her infant sibling, "Its for the lost princess." the young girl then proceeded to put the flower with many others at the base of the structure.

May smiled slightly and looked up at the mozaic again. Her gaze fell on the little girl who was lost and her eyebrows furrowed for a fleeting moment.

She then shrugged and ran to a bunch of people playing instruments and walking in a line.

Meanwhile, Drew paid for a bread and some cheese and as he turned around her saw May dancing, surrounded by a bunch of people.

He stopped mid bite and watched as she grabbed people around her and pulled them onto her makeshift dancefloor.

A little boy, an older man, another man -who grabbed his wife who grabbed her father- a woman who was standing and clapping. She then proceeded to dance around with them leading the way as they jumped in a circle, following the pattern on the floor of yet another sun.

Drew grinned as he watched and Torchic and Flames walked up to him.

May twirled to Drew and beckoned him to dance but he shook his head quickly, still smiling.

Flames shook his head and gave him a shove right onto the dance floor.

Drew glared back but had no time to get out of there before he was sweapt into the dancing.

Everybody paired up and Drew and May got paired with random people.

They danced around till May grabbed his hand and pulled him to a little boy selling flags, just like the ones put up everywhere.

Drew handed the boy the money and May held up the flag to the ones put up on the roads and grinned.

May tucked the flag into a safe place and dragged Drew back into the dance floor.

A girl grabbed May as soon as she stepped in and another grabbed Drew. They locked hands and began to twirl around.

Then they switched partners and May and Drew reached out for each other but got pulled away by two other people.

They smiled apologetically at each other.

May wiped her forehead clean as she got up to admire her work.

Someone had got a pot of paint and May had proceeded to draw the sun on the floor, surrounded by people dancing and beautiful plants growing out of the sun.

Drew nodded with a smile as the music picked up again and people began dancing again.

May and Drew were hidden between an alleyway as two soldiers passed by. They each had a cupcake in their hand.

As soon as they were gone, May bit into her cupcake and Drew chuckled and swiped the cream off her nose.

The dancing got more and more faster as the song progressed and May leaped gracefully into the air .

May and Drew poured over an atlas in the attic of an old library as Drew pointed out places to her on the map.

They were dancing again by the time the sun set, this time with a huge crowd around them.

They twirled in formations and Drew locked his eyes on May as the song almost ended, the tne getting faster and faster.

May twirled straight into Drew's arms as the song came to a halt and they panted while grinning at each other.

"To the boats!" Somebody shouted and May seemed to notice the position they were in, with Drew's arms around her waist and she quickly jumped away.

Drew smiled at her softly as she smiled back shyly.
