Kyoto-chan Review Replies!

Evil-chan (Kanta) : LOL. -patpat- Yeah...I'd feel sorry for May too. -sniffles- I'm sad because the last chapter is going to be all depressing and stuff...

neogirl7900 : Actually, May's last name isn't Yura, because I was actually reading captions. (Look at Dogasu's Backpack for more clarification on that episode.) :P Anyway, Maple is just something Breezeh made up for May's last name, and I'm just using it. :P (Breeze, DON'T HURT ME!) And thanks for reminding me. I'll change that! What's wrong with lying about feelings? Brendan's just shocked by her question, and he's afraid that people will try to kidnap him and hold him for ransom for getting to May's money! (and vice-versa.) He's trying to deny all his feelings, too. -glares at you- Gah, I hear that "no author notes in the middle of the story!" thing too often...

CG : Naw, it's okay you haven't reviewed until now. Haha...yep, I'm better than CG! LOL. -repeating that thing she said back at Serebii-

May held her hand out for Archie's antidote, but then just as he was going to give it to her, Archie took it back and waved it in the air.

"Are you sure you'll join up with me?"

May nodded hesitantly, still holding her hand out.

Archie's fingers let the vial slip through, and on the floor was a mess of hard plastic and orange liquid.

"Oops! My bad!" he laughed.

May glared at him, "Why did you do that!"

He smiled, "Don't worry your head off, Ms. Maple. One of my grunts--the 'nurse' that was watching over Brendan--is at the hospital with the antidote."

May let out a breath that she hadn't known she was keeping in.

Back at the hospital, Mizu snuck into the room of the runner-up Champion, and inserted the syringe into Brendan's bloodstream.

The boy's eyes opened slowly, as he coughed, taking the oxygen mask off of his face.

"W-where am I? All I remember...is...a gunshot...then it's all a blank...how'd I get here?"

Mizu smiled a fake smile at Brendan, and said, "You're in the hospital...you just woke up from a 3-day comatose state."

The white-haired boy looked around the room, now sitting upright.

"Where's May?"

"Ah...the Champion? She...had to do something. But she left this note for you..."

Mizu handed a piece of paper that was worked on by the finest of the Aqua forgers, to make it as identical to May's handwriting as possible.

"Dearest Brendan,

I'm sorry to say this, but I have joined up with Team Aqua. I cannot tell you why, but...I guess I could say I fell out of love with you. I'm still harboring a grudge against you for making me live through one of the saddest stages of my life, so now I refuse to be your friend.

Please don't worry about me.

--May"

Brendan's eyes began filled with a few angry tears, as they fell down from his eyes, dropping on the note. He crumpled it slightly, and then wiped away the tears with his arm.

'If this is how it's come to be...then I refuse to be your friend too, May.' Brendan thought bitterly to himself.

May had just arrived upon the scene, to check up on Brendan. She heard something she thought she would never hear from Brendan's mouth.

"I hate you, May."

A few tears fell down from her cheeks, and landed on the tiled floor below her.

A/N: -wails- The ending of this chapter was soooo sad! The chapter was short, too. -sweatdrops-

-sighs- With this, I'm afraid the next chapter's going to be the last one. Sooo...REVIEW DARN YOU!
