Two weeks later, Ash was back under the car, AGAIN. He'd been working non-stop on it.

May skipped over. They were having a house built nearby in the clearing. The car was near a cave.

This would be the perfect time to irritate him!

His shoes were by the left tires, his socks stuffed inside them. He had put them there before climbing under the car.

May got down on her knees. With her index finger, she went up Ash's foot, and her having long nails didn't help the situation!

"STOP IT!!!!" May laughed as she continued to tease him. "Please! Stop it!"

She refused and continued. The lack of space under the car kept Ash from getting away from her.

"Please, please! Stop it!" May knew Ash was begging her to stop. "Pleeaassee! Stop!"

"Sorry, Ashy-Washy, I can't do that!" she laughed.

"Plllleeeeaaaasssseeee! Stoooop it!"

"Naw, I think I'll keep this up!" May giggled. Ash squirmed under the car.

"Please!" he begged her.

"No-o-o-o!" she said. Ash's patience was at an end.

"STOP IT!"

"Fine! You are no fun!" May said. She stopped and got up. Ash came out from under the car.

"Why do you like irritating me?" he asked.

"Because it's so easy to!" May laughed lightly. She stepped back when Ash got up.

"And you thought I was odd!" Ash said. He bent over the engine, looking at the damage.

"You are, but that's what I like about you." Ash looked up at May. She smiled sweetly and looked at the spot in the engine where he was looking at.

"Whatever," he said, getting back down on the ground, about to go back under the car. May got down next to him. Ash looked at her, then did something with the jacks that held the car a few inches above the ground. It rose a half foot higher.

"What's this?" she asked.

"That's the-"

"What's this?"

"Oh, that is-"

"What's this thing here?"

"May, slow down! I can't say three things at once!"

"Sorry Ash." May looked at the pipes and other things under the car. Ash glanced at her, then put one hand against one of the pipes. He went along the sides and bottom of it.

"This one is leaking for some reason," he said. May looked at him.

"Ash, why do you like working on this car so much?" she asked.

"I don't know why I like working on this, I just do," he said, shrugging.

"Oh," she said, "You never stop working on this car."

"So?" Ash looked at her.

"So, you work a little too much."

Ash glanced at her, then at the pipes and darkness. He slid out from under the car, May following him.

"You have got a good point, I do work too much." he said. He picked up all the tools and put them in the trunk of the car. "Why don't we go and do something besides you trying to irritate me?"

"Good idea!" she said. Charmanders and Pikachu looked at them from the trees and bushes. They walked away from the immobilized car.
