Chapter 12 – May's reply

When May returned to her room in the dorm and she sat elegantly on the chair near the window where she can see the whole forest. Luna prepared the hot water in the bathroom that is connected with her room for May and when she was done, she walked outside. "Your highness, I have prepared the hot water are there anything that you want to add into the water?" asked Luna, May looked at her and replied "Add some rose petals please" "Right away your highness" as Luna was about to walk back into the bathroom, May called to her "Luna." Luna stopped in her tracks and turned to look at May "Yes your highness?" May looked at Luna and said "When we are alone, just call me May like you used to when we are in our country" Luna smiled and curtsied "Yes May" and walked back into the bathroom to add some rose petals to the water.

When Luna went into the bathroom, May looked out the window again and thought back of what Dawn have asked her…

Flashback

May nodded and turned to leave for the day but Dawn called to her "Hey! Umm… Princess May…. I would… no wait… I meant WE would like you to be our friend is that possible?" May was startled at this and turned around and saw Dawn, Misty and Leaf smiling at her. May was hesitating for a while and replied them "Princess Dawn, Princess Misty and Princess Leaf can you please give me some time to think about it?" Dawn, Misty and Leaf looked at each other and smiled, "Sure" "Take all the time you need" "Find us or one of us your answer" May smiled at them and said "Thank you" and left.

Flashback ends

'Friends is it?' May thought hard on this, 'I don't have any friends outside my country…' Luna walked out and looked at May "May, everything is ready for you to have a nice hot bath" May got up from her seat and walked to the bathroom but before she can walk into the bathroom Luna said "It's may be true that you don't have any friends outside our country but I think it's a wonderful chance to take and besides they aren't bad princesses but… they might get in danger even worse than today" May sighed and replied "I know…" and with that May went inside the bathroom and took a bath.

With Dawn, Lucas, Misty and Leaf

Dawn took a deep breath and asked "Who is my fiancé Lucas?" Lucas hesitated for a while and sighed, "Its Prince Kenny of the Steel" "WHAT!?" screamed Misty and Leaf. Dawn was silent and was astonished of who her fiancé is… "What!? Why!?" was the only questions Dawn have in mind. "Father has decided on this" "No… NO!" Dawn refuse to accept the truth. Dawn grabbed Lucas on his shoulder and shaking him, "This is a lie right Lucas? There's no way that father would do this, please tell me that you are lying. Lucas say that you are lying!" Dawn demanded Lucas to say that line but… "I'm sorry Dawn… I'm afraid that's the truth" Dawn let go of Lucas and fell onto the ground. Misty and Leaf walked over to her and bent down, while Lucas looked at his twin sister with sadness in his eyes. After a several minutes, Dawn spoke up "Does mother agree with this?" Lucas looked at her and saw her head still looking down. "Don't worry Dawn, mother doesn't agree with this and besides she knows who you are in love with" Dawn slowly looked at Lucas.

"Mother likes Paul more than she likes Kenny… " He looked at Dawn and saw the light of hope in her eyes. "Mother tried to talk it through with father, how-" "and how did it go?" Dawn asked hoping that everything went successful. "No… no matter how much mother tried father won't listen and still did the things that he thinks is right for our country" Dawn then look back at the ground. "Is there a choice for me?" Dawn asked, Lucas looked away and said "I'm sorry but no, father said that you don't have the right to choose" Dawn took a deep breath and stood up looked at Lucas and asked "When is the ceremony?" "A week away" Misty and Leaf stood immediately and screamed "What!" Dawn took a deep breath and nodded she looked out the door that was left open. "It's getting late, we shall return to our room, you should too Lucas" "Yes Dawn" The four of them walked out of the battle arena room and Lucas closed the door behind him as he was the last one out and walked with them. When they got to the path to the dorm. "Well… see you guys tomorrow, goodnight Dawn, Misty and Leaf" "Goodnight Lucas" the three of them replied and Lucas and the girls went to the opposite direction.

Back with May after her bath

When May got out of the bathroom, she smelled a sweet aroma of rose tea when she walked towards the seat that she sat before; she saw Luna preparing to pour the rose tea into a teacup. Luna turned around to face May and smiled at her. "Did you have a nice bath?" "Yes Luna thank you" May thanked Luna. Luna smiled and said "well… don't just stand there, come and sit" May laughed at this and walked to the seat and sat down. Luna poured the tea into her teacup and set it on the small table in front of May. May took the cup and drank it elegantly and looked out the window again. "Luna…" "Yes May?" "Can you please open the window?" Luna smiled at this and said "of course May" Luna went and opened the window.

A cool breeze of the wind came into May's room and May was enjoying it. Luna walked back and began to prepare the bed for May. "Thank you Luna" "You're welcome May" Luna continued to prepare the bed. May closed her eyes and set the cup back on the table, she opened her eyes and got up. Luna heard the sound of May getting up and turned around "Is the tea not suitable to your taste?" "Of course not Luna" "Then?" May turned and looked at Luna, "I'm going to reply Princess Dawn's question" with a happy smile on her face. Luna saw the happy smile and smiled back. May then walked out of her room.

With Dawn, Misty and Leaf

"Dawn…" Misty looked at Dawn who's sitting on the chair near the window and looking out the window looking at the woods. Leaf stopped reading her book and looked at Dawn as well. Silence filled the room until there was a knock on the door, Misty and Leaf looked at each other and then at Dawn because usually it was Dawn who answers. Misty sighed and went to get the door, once Misty opened the door she saw May standing there. "Princess May!" Misty screamed in delight. May curtsied and greeted her "Good evening Princess Misty" "Right… Good evening Princess May" after Misty greeted May, Leaf walked towards Misty and saw May. "Good evening Princess May, what brings you here tonight?" asked Leaf. "Good evening Princess Leaf, I am here to give you my answer" When Dawn heard this she got up and walked towards where Misty, Leaf and May was standing. "Good evening Princess Dawn" Dawn nodded at May.

"May we know your answer?" asked Leaf, May smiled "Yes, I would love to be your friend Princesses Dawn, Misty and Leaf" Dawn, Misty and Leaf all smiled and hugged May. May was astonished at their action but smiled and hugged them back.

With Lucas…

'Father… what is the reason of having Prince Kenny to be Dawn's fiancé?' As Lucas was thinking to himself, Kenny walked to his side and put his arm around Lucas's shoulder whispering into his ear "Goodnight my future brother – in – law" and walked to back to his room. Lucas glared at the door and looked back at the night where the moon shines so bright. "Prince Kenny of the Steel I won't hand my sister over to you" Lucas said it to himself but a voice came behind him asking "What do you mean by that Lucas?" Lucas's eyes went wide and turned around and saw a figure behind him…

Tada! Chapter 12 is complete! So… who was the figure behind Lucas? What will Lucas do to prevent Dawn from being Kenny's fiancé? Why did Lucas and Dawn's father chosen Kenny to be her fiancé? Are you happy that May agreed to be their friends? Well… please review!
