Beep, beep, beep, BEEP, BEEP, B-
"Shut up, you stupid alarm clock!" May slammed her fist on the offending machine, shutting it up.
Thud. "F! Ow!" May groaned as she rolled out of bed and hit the floor.
"Could ya keep it down!" Misty shouted over the roar of the shower.
"Yeah, yeah." May grumbled as she struggled to get dressed.
The shower door opened, and Misty walked out, wrapped in a towel.
"All clear." she said.
May growled in frustration as she had just finished getting dressed.
Since 2 teenage girls, left undisturbed, can sleep the day away, putting it mildly, so May walked out of the cabin of the ferry to be greeted by the beginnings of a beautiful sunset.
"Geez, we must have been exhausted from the League." May thought to her self.
Then her stomach grumbled, betraying her to an elderly couple walking by who stared at her queerly.
"Heh, heh, just a little hungry, that's all… old geezers" she muttered under her breath as the moved out of earshot.
"Well, we might as well get to the cafeteria, seeing as dinner is being served now." Misty stated as she walked up behind May.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute, you go…" May dismissed Misty with a wave of her hand.
"Okay then…" Misty said a bit reluctantly as she wandered off.
May stood up from where she was sitting in the deck chair, and started to wander towards the pool. As she was approaching the deck, she spotted a figure leaning against the deck rail.
"Do I know him?" she inquired of herself. Upon closer examination, it was no one she knew, but he certainly wasn't bad to look at, she noted. His soft white hair, supported by a headband, was blowing softly in the breeze. He was wearing Hoenn pride clothing, the latest emerald variation, much like her own. "Well, at least he has a fashion sense" she chuckled to herself.
May decided to go over and introduce herself, so she ambled over to the rail and leaned next to him. "Watcha look'n at?" she inquired.
"Huh what? Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there. No, I was just thinking. Anyways, I'm Brendan, who are you? You're from Hoenn, I presume?"
"I'm May from Petalburg city, nice to meet you. Where are you headed?" she asked, as he turned his gaze toward her.
"Oh, I'm going to the Sevii islands on tour, once I get to Vermilion city where the rest of my band is." Brendan said, looking at his companion for the first time.
"She's pretty hot… Whoa! What am I thinking, I don't even know her! Stupid Brendan."
"You're in a band! That's awesome! I love rock! What do you guys play?" May asked excitedly.
"We play a lot of punk rock, but we're not that good. We won a chance to perform in the Sevii Tour." Brendan said absentmindedly.
He stared at the sunset, admiring its beauty. All the colors mixed together, like an artists canvas. "Well, I'm glad I am not an artist. Didn't one cut off his ear or something? I need me ears. I like hearing. Hearing is fun. Hear- Shut it, Brendan!" he yelled at himself. "Wait, why is she staring at me?"
"Oh, that's cool…" May said as she feel into a trance, staring at this guy Brendan. "Now, I wouldn't mind having him as a boyfriend. I guess Misty would approve…" May blushed as she realized Brendan had just asked her something.
"What?" May asked "Sorry, I lost focus, it happens, heh, heh" "Great, now I'm blushing even more…"
" I said, are you okay? You seemed to be spaced out."
"Oh, no, I'm fine" May managed to choke out.
"How right you are…" Brendan thought as he admired her good looks.
"Hey, May, if your not busy, would you like to come meet my band when we get to Vermillion?" he asked. "Please?" he thought.
"Really? Sure, I'd love to!"
As she said this, Brendan's eyes flashed with electricity, happiness rushing through him.
"Well, okay then, I'll see you tomorrow at Vermillion's Pokemon Center." Brendan said, barley able to contain himself. (Remember, we are dealing with over eager teens, here)
"Tomorrow, then." May said as she walked away. "See ya" she winked at him as she left.
"Definitely" Brendan thought to himself. "Tomorrow." he breathed.
