(A/n: I was going to leave it a one shot, but I never expected so many reviews! THANKYOU! THANKYOU SO MUCH! I NEEDED AN ESTEEM BOOST! I had not planned on another chapter… Thanks too….

YAY THANKS TO ALL YA!)

May stared at him, flustered, grinning. "Really?" she had to ask. She just had to. (a/n: in answer to Moo's question… lol…)

"Of course."

"OOOOHHHHH!" there was a squeal.

May spun around. Max stood there laughing. Hard. May's face turned red.

"May's gotta boy friend!" Max cackled, pointing at his sister and doubling over with laughter.

"SHUDDUP ALREADY--"

Brock came jogging over to see what the problem was.

"What is it, guys?"

"May and Ash--"

"We were just, uh, checking the fire!" exclaimed May, "And it looks like it needs some firewood! So, uh, Ash, you coming?"

"Sure." Ash grinned. As soon as they had jogged out of earshot and into the woods, Ash turned to her.

"Nice recovery."

"Thanks." Laughed May. "Living with Max for years has taught me a little something about… telling fiblets."

"Fiblets?"

"Little lies. Not big, huge whoppers. Just baby lies."

(a/n: the word fiblet and it's definition was created by my best friend Melanie Oliver. THANKS MELONHEAD!)

Ash laughed. "That was one helluva lie, May."

"Well, okay, so maybe it was a big fiblet…."

"So anyways, where were we?"

"I asked you if you meant it. Ash, if you did that just to make my wish come true…."

"Does this answer your question?"

Ash dug in his pack and pulled out his own star. Unlike May, before Jirachi was captured, Ash had made a wish the last night. On each and every point the name 'May' was written in tiny black-ink letters. She looked up at him, as if having him confirm what she was seeing.

"Yes. I wished for your happiness every night. Not for you to love me; I figured that was -way- to much to ask. Besides, I thought if you couldn't be happy with me, then I didn't want to make you. So I wished for your happiness."
"Ash!" she flung her arms around his neck.
"…Can't….breathe…."

"Sorry." May giggled, backing off.

"So are we gonna get firewood so we don't look so suspicious?"

"Yeah, we'd better."

"Alrighty then."

Ash jogged ahead, picking up any sticks or wood he could find. Eventually he clambered onto the first branch of a tree. He held his hand down expectantly to May, who faltered for a moment but then took his hand. He hoisted her up to that branch and led her up quite a few more. Eventually he settled on a high, sturdy branch. He scrambled out onto the branch till he was a foot from the edge and sat down. May plunked down beside him. Ash checked his watch.

"What are we doing?" May asked.

"You'll see in just a minute."

May drummed her fingers impatiently on the bark. But soon there was a streak in the sky. Then another. And more and more! She clutched Ash's hand in excitement. He sqeezed her hand back, grinning. The meteor shower was gorgeous, breath-taking… No wonder Ash had chosen such a high branch. May looked over at Ash.

"Isn't it pretty?" Whispered May. She wasn't sure why she was whispering. Maybe she was afraid it would break the moment.

"Yes it is."

May laid her head on his shoulder. An hour ago she never would have dreamed of doing so. The perfect moment was spoiled… there was a deafening crack and the treebranch they sat on came crashing to Earth. Right before impact May screamed. Then… all went black.
