Brock was surprised, so was Misty. "May! How've you been?" asked Brock. He walked over to May and Ash. May was still clinging on to Ash's arm and it had already begun to fall asleep.
"Umm...May...if you could just...you know...get off my arm...I've lost all feeling in it now..." Ash asked nicely. May smiled and let go.
Misty would have gone over, but something made her feel funny when she saw May clinging to Ash like they were dating. Could it be...jelousy? Of course not. But still...Misty frowned a little. She didn't like it whatever it was. She also didn't like May hanging ont Ash. In fact, she liked that less than she did the feeling.
"Hey, Misty, aren't you going to come say hi to May?" asked Ash, snapping Misty out of her revery. She walked over to May and they shook hands. "It's good to have you back May!" Misty cheerfully replied. May laughed.
"Good to see you too! Ash is so kind. He said I could join you guys!"
Ash looked at Misty and Brock who looked back at him funny. "Hey, she has all the right you guys have to come back to the gang!"
Brock gave it a thought and grinned. "Hmm...I'll have to throw one more fish on the BBQ, but no problem!" May then reached around to a bag on her side. "I'll put up my tent over... here!"
May began to put up her tent right next to Ash's. Ash, who was too busy eating to notice just contined to eat. Misty on the other hand didn't like this at all. "Um..." Misty began. "It would probably best if you give people some space..."
May thought for a second and moved her tent over a little. Misty calmed down. God Waterflower, you're over reacting! It's not like you like Ash, right? Well...I... Misty thought. She shook her head and went to go help May put up her tent.
Later on they had dinner and everyone went to go to their tents. Ash stayed up reading a book and Misty and May were doing what Ash sickenlingly called, "Girl Talk" Misty and May "offered" to have him join, but Ash replied, "No thanks. I like my life and my sanity."
"Hey, Misty?" asked May."
"Yeah?"
"Do you...Like Ash?" May whispered so Ash couldn't hear.
"No!"
"Awesome! That means I can have him!" May jumped up and down happily. She began to walk out of the tent when Misty stopped her.
"W-Wait! I'll tell you a secret, but if you tell anyone...I'll rip out your throat, as much as I like you as a friend."
May stopped and went back inside the tent. "What?"
"I-I-I...I love Ash from the very bottom of my heart...Yes! I said it!"
To this May frowned.
What's wrong?" asked Misty.
"This means...we'll be rivals..."
"I have an idea...we'll fight fair, but so we arent fighting each other! How's that sound?"
"Perfect! Let's shake on it!" So Misty and May shook hands. To the victor go the spoils... thought Misty. He's mine! May thought to herself. It seemed the war was on!
