May's Point of View

As the rays of the morning sun shine through the leafy green tops of the forest, I began thinking about last night.

Flashback

"Hey! You guys still want to eat? It's not too late! There's still some cold rice balls and soup left!" Brock called out.

"What!? ONLY COLD RICE BALLS AND SOUP!?" Ash, May, and Max all yelled in unison. "Just kidding!" Brock chuckled.

"Wow...you...really...need...to...give...me...the...recipe...for...this...stuff!!

It's...really...good...you know..." May said between spoonfuls of Brock's delicious chicken soup.

"Yeah, maybe she will cook better tasting things now with your recipes." laughed Max.

"My cooking is fine for your information!" May pouted. Red was starting to creep onto her face and steam was nearly pouring out of her ears.

"Yeah, right. Remember the time when you scorched Dad's coffee and almost poisoned me with that horrible black looking thingie?" questioned Max.

"Excuse moi !? But, I didn't burn the coffee, you did! And that black thingie was brownie, you bozo!" May shot back.

"Now, now, let's not fight, someone might get hurt if this argument continues..." Brock said in his best fatherly tone.

"Yeah, not just physically, but also emotionally." finished Ash.

"What are you guys? The annoying lunatics who take-care-of-every-and- pretends-to-be-our-parents-even-though-you're-not?" ask Max.

"No, but we will be if you and May keeps this up." Ash and Brock both said.

End of Flashback

Last night was definitely crazy! But it wouldn't have happened if Max hadn't insulted my cooking skills and things. Hmph! I'll show him! Nah! I'll just make him regret every word he said about me and my excellent cooking!!

Normal Point of View

"Okay, one cup of this, two spoons of that, blah, blah, blah....I never realized that making something that looks so simple is so hard! Argh..." grumbled May.

She had a lot of trouble making PANCAKES and I really mean a lot of trouble. May had spent more than two hours trying to make pancakes and probably burned more of them than she could count.

"This is not working! Maybe Max is right, maybe I do cook really bad! Oh, how am I gonna be a good house keeper when I grow up if I don't even know how to cook!?" May fussed as she paced around the fire.

All the fussing and complaining woke Ash up and he decided to see what the situation was. "What's all the noise about?" mumbled Ash as he rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know that I made such a big fuss, I'm really sorry, Ash!!" apologized May.

"No problem, what are you doing up this early anyways? Usually, you'd be sleeping until after the sun rises..." questioned Ash.

"Hey, that's not true! I wake up earlier than all of you lazy...." May stopped herself from finishing that sentence because she thought it'd be too harsh for her to say that kind of sentence to her friend, especially this early in the morning.

Suddenly, there was a sizzling noise and a strong scorched smell drifted into the air.

"Oh, no! My pancakes, they're burning! What do I do!? What do I do!? What do I do!?" May exclaimed.

"Calm down, May. Just take the pan off the rocks surrounding the fire! Then, let the pan cool and DON'T add any water or the pan will break!" Ash instructed.

"Okay, if you say so Ash!" replied May. Then, she took the pan off the stones and fling it to the floor because it burned her fingers.

"OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!" cried May.

May's Point of View

Stupid! Stupid pancakes! Why did you have to be burnt AND make me burned my own poor fingers!? WHY ME!?!? Ouch! That still burns!

"Are you okay?" Ash asked, quite concern.

May's Point of View

Did he think I was OKAY!? Not in this situation, I'm not!!! Ouch!

"Of course not! Would you feel okay if your fingers got fried!? Ouch!" yelped May.

"I'm sorry! Wait here; I'll go get something first." Ash said as he ran towards his backpack. Just what in the world is he doing!?

Normal Point of View

After getting the unknown packages out of his bag, Ash came trotting back to May.

"Here, this will help you feel a little bit better." Ash said as he handed the two packages to May.

"Thanks..." May said in a small voice and willingly accepted the two packages. "What are these anyways?"

Ash smiled, "They're just some first-aid cream and bandages for your hand..."

"Oh, how thoughtful of you to bring along something useful in your backpack! Thanks, again," replied May, emphasizing the sentence, then, she sat on a rock, carefully unwrapping the packages and trying to avoid not to touch her injured fingers.

"I think you should let me bandage your hand." Ash said and took her hand and the first-aid kit before she could protest. While Ash started to care and nurse for her hand, May's cheeks started to change color; from a light pink to crimson red. You could say that she was a little embarrassed and can feel butterflies in her stomach.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey! What's going on!? I can't see! Let me see! I can't see!" Max hissed as he struggled and tried to take a peek at Ash and May. "You're too young for this and besides we're aren't supposed to be peeking at them while they are in their 'moment.'" Brock said trying to convince Max not to look.

"If you can look then, I can too!" Max shot back. "Okay, okay! But, only a tiny peek and stop moving around! You're going to attract attention!" Brock whispered.

"Thanks for helping me...." May said and looked away, trying not to make eye contact.
