(P.S this is based on POKEMON ­EMERALD!)

Chapter 2: Maybe I Saw Too Much…..

"Geez Brendan! Can we please rest? We've been walking, cycling and running for 3 hours!" May whined, panting, and sweating.

"Hmmmm…….. ok, fine. We can rest." Brendan replied, checking his watch.

"Great! Let's set camp over there!" (repeat, I do not watch the show.) May cried, gaining energy and sprinting towards a piece of grass by a waterfall.

Brendan sighed at the girl and walked towards her, checking for any wild pokemon.

----- One hour later…….----

"Finally!" May exclaimed, smiling triumphantly at the campsite.

"What? You're done?" Brendan asked, looking up from his book.

"Yes, no thanks to you lazy!" May scolded, frowning at Brendan.

"Me? Well, it's not my fault! You ran over here, took out all the stuff, and practically chased me away when I tried to help!" Brendan defended.

"I did? Oh yeah, I did…… sorry." May apologized, embarrassed.

"Nah, it's alright." Brendan assured, standing up.

"Ok, well….. since I'm all sweaty, I'm going to wash up in the waterfall!" May smiled

"What? Aren't you afraid of people….. peeping?" Brendan cried.

"I am! And that's why I have this!" May exclaimed, holding up a bathing suit/ bikini (which ever you want.)

"Oh….." Brendan sighed, relieved.

"But…… I need to change. So…… I'll need you to leave the tent for a while….." May muttered.

"Oh, I get it! Just let me get my book." Brendan said, walking to a tree.

"Ok. I'll go change now!" May smiled, walking into the tent.

Brendan smiled, as he paused and picked up his book, thinking of May.

'What the hell? Why am I thinking of her? Bad thoughts, get out of my head!' Brendan thought walking closer to the tent. (it's on the way.)

He paused and caught a glimpse of May undressing through a hole as he walked past the tent.

His face turned beet red, and he quickened his pace and walked to a chair and sat down, using the book to cover his red face.

'Oh, god…… stop thinking about her…….. have got to stop! Bad thoughts, GO AWAY!' Brendan thought, holding the book closer to his face.

'What's his problem?' May thought wondering why Brendan was holding the book that close to his face.

She smiled and jumped into the water, sighing at the freshness of the water.

Brendan looked up from his book and quickly looked back at it, as he spotted May.

-----After showering…..-----

"Hey Brendan!" May smiled at him, sitting beside him.

"Hey….." Brendan replied quickly, distancing himself from her.

"What's wrong? You're acting like I'm a monster!" May said with a laugh.

"N….nothing's wrong…… this book is just so good……" Brendan said, glancing at May.

"O-kay…….. whatever you say then. I'm gonna make dinner, so I'll call you when it's ready." May sighed, standing up.

"Right. Got it." Brendan replied.

"Good." May smiled and walked away.

Brendan sighed in relief and finally put his book down. He found himself gazing at the direction May had went in and quickly shook his head and stood up.

'Maybe if I train then I'll forget…..' Brendan thought, walking to a nearby grass patch with his pokemon.

---At dinner…..---

"This isn't half bad." Brendan said, chewing on his food.

"You're finally acting like a human." May said with a laugh, watching Brendan.

"Hmmmm? What do you mean?" Brendan asked, confused.

"Well, before you went to train with your pokemon, you were just all un-Brendan like." May smiled, pushing a spoon of food into her mouth.

"What do you mean? I was myself." Brendan asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"Now you are. You weren't before." May corrected.

"Whatever. Anyway, I'm thinking that we should explore some more tomorrow." Brendan said, changing the subject.

"You're the boss." May said, taking another bite of her food.

"Am I?" Brendan asked, smiling.

"Well, you're in charge of explorin' and all. I'm in charge of trainin'." May explained.

"Who gave these positions? You?" Brendan asked, taking one last bite of his food.

"Yes. Me." May matter-o'-factly said.

"Hmph……" Brendan got up and threw his food into their 'disposable trashcan that can be gotten rid of without any hassle'.

----When their about to sleep….----

"May? You awake?" Brendan asked, lying on his sleeping bag.

"Yeah." May replied, also lying on her sleeping bag.

"Where do you think we'll be after this?" Brendan asked, turning to her.

"Well, I'll be the Pokemon Champion, and you will be a Prof. Or you might be a gym leader. My dad will retire some day, and seeing how much he trusts you, he'll let you take care of the gym after he retires. Why?" May replied, closing her eyes.

"Just wondering. G'night May." Brendan sighed, shifting in the sleeping bag.

"G'night Brendan." May smiled and slept, while Brendan silently watched her.

TBC………
