Pallet Town 9:35 AM

Ash was waiting outside the women's restroom with his head resting against the wall. After what Gary told him he felt terrible. Ash was never an expert when it came to girl's feelings but He made May upset and he wanted to make things right. But then there was Misty…Was he really jealous of her being with Gary? Were his feelings really that strong for her? Or was it something else….

The restroom door opened to reveal Misty who was followed by May.

"Oh hey," Misty said."you were waiting for us?"

Ash nodded "Can I talk to May alone for a sec?"

Misty's face turned serious before nodding and walking back to their table, leaving Ash and May in the hall.

An awkward silence came to the two. May was looking down at the floor while Ash scratched the back of his head nervously.

"I'm sorry" Both said simultaneously, which caused May to blush slightly.

Ash chuckled slightly, and May joined him in the laughter.

"In all seriousness I'm really sorry about my little outburst," Ash said.

"Actually I should be the one apologizing. I overreacted." May replied.

Ash frowned, He needed to know exactly why she got so upset. Gary's explanation seemed likely be he had to hear it from May herself.

"May why did you get so upset?" He asked.

May felt a tint of red at her cheeks as she gazed intensely at the floor and her heart heated intensely.

"I-I just got scared I've never seen you yell before…." She said nervously.

Ash felt slightly irritated, there was no way May would get scared of juste someone yelling. She was stronger then that.

May's spine shivered when she felt Ash's hand hold her shoulders.

"May look at me," she heard his voice say.

May tilted her head up to see Ash's deep brown eyes gaze at her. She felt a slight deja vu at the position they were in, but the situation was completely different this time.

"Don't lie to me May," He said with a serious tone.

At this point May's heart was drumming madly, she even almost stopped breathing. But she realized that it was time to stop running. She slowly nodded.

Ash massaged her shoulders as he waited for her speak.

"Do you know what you do to me?" She asked.

Ash raised an eyebrow "What do you mean?"

"It's moments like this that just drive me crazy….." She said in a quiet voice. "You're always so caring and the way you just go out of you're way to help people even if you barley know them, Just makes mess happy to have a person like you in my life. But when I saw you get angry at Gary and Misty I just didn't like seeing you getting angry over some girl who…..wasn't me,"

Ash's eyes winded "Wait May were you-"

"Jealous, yes" She said simply.

"Oh," Ash said after removing his hands from her shoulders. "Wait so you….like me?"

May slowly nodded.

"Like, as in….Kissing like?" Ash asked.

May's face went on fire "Y-you don't have to say it like that, but…..yeah"

Ash's eyes widened while a tint of red appeared on his cheeks "Really?"

"Yes!" May said slightly annoyed "Is it really that hard to believe?"

Ash scratched the back of his head nervously "Well it's just kinda funny because…." Ash started to chuckle and smiled at May "I like you too."

Silence came between the two once again, May stared at Ash with intense eyes while he just smiled.

"r-really?" May asked.

Ash walked closer to May "Yeah" he's said before bringing the coordinator into a hug. May was speechless. This day had just became the happiest one of her life.

Misty, Pikachu and Gary were waiting at the table, their food had arrived.

"So why did WE have to get salad too?" Gary asked.

"Pikachu is already traumatized enough, no need to do more damage," Misty said.

Gary looked at the electric type who had fainted as soon as the revelation happened.

"Yeah you're probably right," Gary said.

Ash and May approached the table, catching the others attention.

"So you guys alright?" Misty asked.

May had the biggest smile on her face while she nodded, and sat next to Misty while Ash sat next to Gary.

"Wait what's with the salad?" Ash asked.

"Well it was the only thing on the menu that wasn't made of pokemon," Gary said.

Ash sat in silence as his eye twitched at the thought of eating pokemon.

Pallet Town 10:55 AM

"So he told you?" Misty asked.

May nodded with a smile "yup"

"Wow" Misty said simply.

May and Misty were sitting on a bench in the middle of the Pallet park, while Ash and Gary went to do who knows what.

"So what happens now? are you guys going to start dating? and if so how is that going to work since your going back to Hoenn tomorrow?" Misty asked.

May's eyes winded, after all that's happened she had completely forgotten about her leaving to hoenn the next day.

"Oh, you're right I didn't even think of that." May said with sadness.

"So what are you going to do?"

May sighed "I don't know, I'll talk to Ash about it when we get back to the house."

"Alright, just remember Ash is probably going to be on the road again by the end of the month, you know how he is,"

"Yeah….He sure hasn't changed…"

"Hey guys!"

May and Misty looked to see Ash and pikachu running towards them.

"We gotta go! now!" Ash said frantically

"What? why?" May asked.

"Yeah, why? and where's Gary?" Misty asked.

"KETCHUM!" Gary yelled as he ran toward the direction of the group.

"Argh!" Ash said in fear before running off, with pikachu behind.

"ASH YOU BETTER GET BACK HEARE1 you're gonna get the beating of a lifetime!" Gary said with rage before he was stopped by Misty.

"What is going on?" Misty asked her boyfriend with her hands on her hips.

"This doesn't concern you Mist! this is between men!" Gary said

"Men? first of all you guys are only 16, you're barley men,"

"Hey! I'm a man!" Gary said feeling offended.

"Just because you had girls following you around and learned how to drive when you were 10 doesn't make you a man Gary," Misty said.

"Bu-"

"No Buts Oak, Now what's going on?" she asked

Gary sighed "Ash said…..Ash said…."

"Ash said what?"

Gary looked over Misty's shoulder to see May sitting on the bench watching them with interest, he then motioned for Misty to get closer to him.

Misty raised a eyebrow before getting closer to her boyfriend, allowing him to whisper in her ear, preventing May from hearing whatever it is he was saying.

Whatever it was that Gary told Misty, it made Misty giggle and look at Gary with amusement. "Really? you're upset about that? you guys really are childish,"

"Hey! this is serious!" Gary said.

Misty chuckled before looking at May "Come on May let's go find you're new boyfriend"

May blushed hearing Misty call Ash her boyfriend before nodding and standing from the bench
