Author's Note (From the Last Chapter): Thank you for the reviews, so far, minimal insults. That is to say, so far, so good. From now on, I ask all of you to sign your reviews. If you really don't want to, but want your opinion posted, please continue. I'm just writing this because I want some constructive commentary here (And some people to proofread my stuff). I didn't realize I had so many commas until one of my friends told me so. Also (All you Misty Fans), I know that you really hate me right now, but please bare with me here! I'm telling you this could be a really good story if you give it a chance.

All right, enough of that. Let the feature presentation begin shall we? Now unveiling the third chapter to May's Jealousy…

Chapter 3: May's Date

As the troupe arrived at the hotel, May began to rummage through her new belongings, searching for her new dress wear she had purchased at the mall. She finally found her plain jeans, and her light blue T-shirt. The T-shirt were short-sleeved, cutting at half the arms and reviled portions of her belly. She wore her new pair of blue sneakers and her white socks. Today she decided not to wear her gloves, but retained her bandana.

It was around 6 when May had finally located and wore her new clothes, around the time as well when she decided to tell her friends that she would not accompany them to dinner. "Umm guys? I'm…umm…not…" "What is it?" Said Max. "Yeah May, what aren't you doing?" said Brock. He was lounging on the bed as he said this without much thought. "Well, see here Brock…" "What is it May?" Said a curious Ash. "Uh, see here guys it's like this…Drew kinda asked me out and I…I accepted, so I can't go out for dinner with you tonight-" "But May, I thought we had this all planned out!" Ash responded quite shocked, not knowing if it was jealousy or if it was hurt that had suddenly grasped him.

Brock sat up and understood May's predicament. He said, "Alright May, I understand. Ash, Max and I will eat out together then. You enjoy your date." "Your date? Why does that sound so foreign? So…unfamiliar…so dreaded…" Ash thought. Max teased, "Alright May…remember though…no kissing on your first date…HA-HA!!!" "Quit it Max!" Said both Ash and May at the same time. May was quite shocked at Ash's new distraught face and voice. It was harsh and unwelcome. It was almost painful… May felt awkward as she waited in the tension filled room, waiting for speech of any sort. To her dismay, nothing of the sort occurred.

As time advanced, she looked at clock hung above the door. "6:35…it's time to leave…" May thought. With that she got up and gave Ash a glace of both pity and hurt. Ash was as uncomfortable as May was only he had not the means to express his emotions. May left the room and headed over to the restaurant. A voice finally broke the uneasy silence. "We should probably go to the buffet now." Brock said. Max was as melancholy as a depressed and disturbed child would ever be. He had not forgotten Ash's face, how his eyes flared with a passion of unknown origin. The remaining members left to go to their reserved seats at Ernie's Eat Till You Bust restaurant (I actually got this off Garfield, but it was just too good to leave out.).

May arrived at the restaurant, finding a very anxious boy going out on his first date. May was the very same, only a girl. They found themselves seated at a table with many a stare from older audiences, all wondering where their parents were. The waiter awaited their orders. "I'd like the 3rd special you have for the dinner course, the one with the lobster." Drew said. "That would be the one with the soup, salad, drink, side order and dessert correct?" "Yes that's the one." "Fine choice young master. What would your side order be? You have either the choice of fries, baked potato or mashed potato with gravy." "I'd take the fries." "Excellent. Your drink?" "I guess a coke…(Sorry about the quotes, but I don't want to infringe on any copy righted products and names here. A.k.a., Coke, not mine, but pretty universal that it belongs to Coca-Cola Company.)" "The soup and salad?" "Caesar, lighter with the dressing. I'll have the lobster bisque." "Fine. The dessert will comprise of Chocolate or Strawberry cheese cake. Make your order for that when you have finished your meal. The lady would have…" May wasn't really paying much attention to the overly fake accented waiter, but more wondering what Ash and the others were doing. "Ash…why did I think of him for some reason? I know I like him but I'm out with Drew…" "Excuse me?" The waiter said impatiently. Drew simply stared at May inquisitively. "Huh? Sorry about that…I'd have the same thing as he." May said simply. "Very good." With the departing words he left the two requited rivals to discuss other matters. "May, confession time. I don't actually have any material for talk during dinner. I'm still new to this kinda thing…" "Truth be told, I'm not sure what to talk about either." "Glad I'm not alone…" Drew had the look of absolute relief on his face, his reddening face now residing to it's regular shade. He had stopped his heavy perspiring, but left a giggly May. "You're funny Drew!" "I am? Wait…you're laughing at me aren't you…" "Yup!" "Guess it is kinda funny…" May continued her laughter. This event has apparently provided the grounds for a conversation. They continued to speak normally, chattering until their appetizers came. They munched on the fragrant garlic bread, complementary to their meal. Their soup had come with the salad and they began to eat this as well, along with the bread. After, they continued to converse, exchanging tales of adventure, peril and humor. When their main courses had come, they anticipated the aroma of fresh lobster coated with cheese, herbs and the sort. The size was quite handsome and was greeted with relish by the diners. They spoke solemnly unless the other found some comment that was of interest. Time had come and gone, leaving very satisfied friends. Drew paid the bill, charging only $40.95 with a rather large tip of $10 in addition. Drew then walked May back to the hotel and they said their farewells. "See you around May." "Yeah Drew. See ya later…" "May, this might be a strange request but I'd really like to spend more time with you to know you better. Would it be alright if I…" "If you what?" May said sincerely, smiling at her close friend. "…If I could maybe…join your party?" "Drew!" "I know it's a big favor, but I'd really like the time to become more…close to you…" May was flustered. The entire day had been filled with excitement, but she never anticipated such a bold request. "I know you probably have to ask your friends about it but I doubt they would object." "Yeah…you're probably right Drew…alright! You can come along then! We're leaving at 8 though, so be sure to wake up early. I'll go talk to my friends upstairs in our room. We'll meet outside here at maybe 7:45?" "Great! Thanks a lot May! Bye!" Drew said as he left May standing outside of her suite. "Bye Drew…" May whispered. She wondered "My friends wouldn't care if Drew were here after all, I already had a date with him…Ash wouldn't mind right?" May pondered this as she began her walk into her room. She lie down on the bed and fell into a restless sleep, troubled deeply about her friends response to Drew's request.

Author's Note: Ok, my chapters are short, but I want to be only relevant to the story plot. Some of you are beginning to understand the complexity of my story, but I haven't shown you the best part yet! (I hope you enjoy it anyway…). Please keep on reading, and review about my writing here, even if you hate the material. I respect that some people hate the values my story holds (Misty Fans), but I want some constructive criticism. You might even like the story!

Totally Random, but Happy Holidays!!! RichardZZZ
