May paced back and forth. After a while, she started getting worried. It had been hours by now. She shook her head and got into the Prizm.
It roared to life. May carefully maneuvered it. Soon, she saw the buildings and houses. She heard a 'nah' nearby.
She stopped the car and got out. May saw Night Breeze nearby. "Night!" she yelled.
Night trotted over and nuzzled her. May laughed and petted Night. "Where is Ash?" she asked. Night trotted off towards one of the houses. It went around to the back of one.
"I said NO!" May looked through one of the windows. She gasped.
"Minerva!" she whispered, seeing the baby sleeping soundly on the bed. Her sight moved from the baby to the pair standing nearby, arguing. "Ash."
"But-"
"You will do ANYTHING to get me, won't you?" he snarled, grinding his
teeth.
"No," Grace said, looking at a table. Exeggcute sat on the table. Ash looked at them for a few seconds. Their eyes were glowing red.
"Why.are.they.staring.at.me.like.that.?" he asked, his eyes half closed. May looked at him, and at the pokemon.
"Ash is being hypnotized." May said to herself. The Exeggcute stopped. Ash's head dropped, his chin hitting against his chest.
"Ash?" Grace waved a hand in front of his face.
"Yes.?" he said in a slight drawl. Grace smiled.
"Name the starter pokemon."
"Bulbasaur.Charmander.Squirtle.Chikorita.Cynaquil.Tododile."
"Good," Grace said. She knew he was under the spell. May watched them from outside. She got a poke ball that had a Vulpix in it and threw it. "Use a tiny Ember!" she said, pulling the window open.
"Vuuul!" May remembered when Misty told her about the Executor. Fire
would break the spell.
"Waa!" Ash shook his head. He looked at the window and grinned. He mouthed, "Thanks!"
"You know, Minerva is quite cute when she isn't crying," Grace commented. Ash looked at her, the window, and Minerva.
"You know, I need a.hug? Pleeeaaassseee?" he said. May had a feeling
about what Ash was up to. Grace blinked, then walked over.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you're acting weird," she said. Ash looked over her head, ignoring the statement.
"Go use the front door, and get in the house!" he whispered. May nodded. She ran to the front, and pushed the door open. Careful not to make any noise, she snuck into Grace's room.
"Ok, Grace, shut your eyes, so I can give you a present!" he said, faking cheerfulness. Grace nodded and shut her eyes tight. Ash walked over to Minerva, and picked her up.
May stood in the doorway, looking at him. Ash gave Minerva to her, and said, "Run."
She nodded and left, not bothering with trying to stay silent. Ash could hear the click click click of her shoes on the tile. Grace looked at him in anger.
"You tricked me!" she said.
"Duh! Well, buh-bye Grace, it was nice seeing ya!" Ash ran to catch up with May.
"How is she?" Ash asked, panting from running. May looked at Minerva's little face.
"She looks fine," she said. Ash slid down into the driver's seat. He turned the key and turned the wheel.
"Um, where's Arctic?" May asked, when they pulled up to the house. Charmanders looked at them curiously.
"I don't know." Ash said. He helped her out, and took Minerva. They
walked through the trees
They came to a clearing nearby. Arctic was in the center, a little gray thing by her. "What? That's a-" May had began to try to explain, but Ash cut her off.
"Baby! A baby horse!" he said. Minerva giggled and laughed when the foal wobbled over and sniffed her.
"Nah."
"Let's name him, um, Dream," May said, holding onto Ash's arm as if death was coming. She felt him shiver.
"Alright."
"Minerva is going to LOVE Dream when she gets older," May said.
"Yeah."
"Let's just hope we survive her teenage years," she commented.
"Huh?!?"
"She'll want EVERYTHING!" she laughed.
"She had better not be like you!"
"Why?"
"If she gets a boyfriend, we. Are. DOOMED!" Ash and May laughed.
"But why will we be 'DOOMED'?" she asked.
"You act weirdly around me!" Ash sulked.
"That's because I LOVE you! What's wrong with that?" May asked.
"It's the WAY you love me that's wrong!"
"Don't even go there, unless you want to die before you turn 22!" Ash
snickered at her threat.
"Whatever," he said, walking away, holding Minerva carefully.
