Chapter 2

Hospital Fire! Happy Birthday May!

May didn't wake until the early afternoon. She sat up and yawned.

"About time you got up." Drew said by the window. Then he turned to look at her. May just glared at him and "Humph"-ed loudly. Then she sniffed.

"Do you smell that? It smells like…" May was cut off by Drew.

"…Smoke." He finished. Drew put his hand on the doorknob and quickly pulled it back. Suddenly the door shot up in flames. Drew fell backwards. Thankfully he wasn't burned. The fire blocked their only exit.

"Drew!" He heard May's worried voice. Then she shouted over the roaring flames. "What are we going to do?"

Drew ran over to the window and called out his Flygon. Then he ran over to May.

"Can you walk?"

"I think so."

Drew helped her get out of bed. Once she stood on her own her legs couldn't stand her weight, so she fell in Drew's arms. Drew was a little shocked at this but he offered to carry her to window so they could get out on Flygon and get out of there. She accepted after a small argument. Drew carried May, on his back, over to the window and helped her get on Flygon, and then he got on.

"Flygon!" Drew yelled. "Get us away from here!"

Flygon landed by a crowd of people who just barley managed to escape the fire.

"Drew. We may be able to stop this fire." May said then feeling around her waist she exclaimed, "Where's my bag?"

"Don't worry. I grabbed it just before I got on Flygon." Drew said giving May her waist bag.

"Go Squirtle! Water Gun! Drew, have Flygon use Sandstorm on the hospital!"

"Okay Flygon! Sandstorm!" Drew yelled

By working together May and Drew out the fire. The crowd cheered loudly. May got off Flygon and tried to stand up. This time she could stand on her own without Drew's help. She took a few steps and stumbled and tripped. She was just about to hit the ground when Drew dove down and caught her.

"Oooooh… I don't feel so well." May said. She began coughing hard and then, without warning, fell limp in Drew's arms from exhaustion.

"You'd better get her to another hospital." said the same nurse that took Drew to see May. "She is weakening from the poison. The nearest one is in Lilycove and on your Flygon you might get there by an hour or maybe even quicker."

"Thanks." Drew got on Flygon and the nurse helped get May onboard. "Alright Flygon, let's go!"

…Lilycove Hospital…

'May's Dream Sequence'

May was surrounded by a swarm of even more Bedrill. They aimed Pin Missile at her. May screamed and then before they hit her every thing went black, she then saw Ash and Misty then Brock and Max. They were sitting by a beautiful lake, laughing. They didn't seem to notice she was not with them anymore. Finally she saw her contest rival, Drew. He was crying, which was very unusual. Then she saw her body in Drew's arms. 'No' she thought. 'NO! I CAN'T BE… I can't be…' Pause 'Dead…'

'End Dream Sequence'

"May, wake up! May!" Drew said. He was holding her hand.

"No… No I can't be… I just can't be… Drew, help, I can't be… Dead…" May mumbled still unconscious.

"May? Dead? What the heck is she mumbling about?" Drew wondered. "And why am I in her dream?"

May's hand (The one Drew's holding) twitched. Drew looked down at her and saw that she was waking up. She opened her eyes. She looked around and saw Drew. He was looking at her with a worried face.

"How are you feeling?" Drew asked.

"Ok… I guess." She replied. Then she noticed Drew was holding her hand. She blushed pink as this. Drew noticed this and smirked then he squeezed her hand lightly and let go. She looked at him, still pink in the face, and smiled. Then her face fell.

"What's wrong?" Drew asked.

"Nothing. It's just my birthday is tomorrow." May sadly said.

"Oh. I'm gonna go out for a little while, you rest and save up your strength." Drew said,

May looked at him suspiciously then shrugged and laid down again to rest. And with that done he grabbed his knapsack and secretly went to do some shopping. Drew looked in almost every shop until he came across a jewelry store and found an emerald and ruby necklace with matching earrings, one earring was an emerald the other a ruby, and a bracelet.

It's perfected! Drew thought. "I would like to buy these, please." He told the jeweler.

"Ok. That will be $1400.00." The jeweler said.

Drew paid the man the money, thanked him and was off. When he reached the hospital, went inside and said to a nurse:

"Excuse me but my friend's birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to surprise her with a party. Can that be arranged?"

"Yes, I'll see what I can do." The nurse said and winked at Drew.

The next morning…

May woke up with a start. She sighed. I guess nothing special is going to happen today. She thought. Hey, wait a minute where's Drew. She scanned the room looking for him. "Drew?" She said. Just then she heard the door open. Drew came in. "Mornin' birthday girl." He said.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

"Nowhere. Close your eyes." Drew said.

May looked at him strangely but did as she was told. She heard him walk somewhere and then she heard him talk in a low voice to someone. Then she heard footsteps lots of them and then:

"SURPRISE!"

May opened her eyes wide. She saw almost every person in the hospital in her room. (The hospital in Lilycove in bigger than any normal hospital) She saw flowers and candy and get well balloons with cards attached to them.

"Happy birthday, May." said Drew.

"Drew, You did all of this didn't you?" May asked.

"Yep."

"Thank you." She said in a soft voice. Then she hugged him tight and let go.

"COME ON EVRYONE LET'S SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND MAY!" Drew shouted over the very loud noise of the crowd.

Every one sang Happy Birthday to May. It was late when everyone went to bed.

"That was the best birthday ever, but best of all was sharing it with you, Drew" May said then yawned and went to bed before Drew could say anything. Drew got up and went over to May's bed and kissed her on the cheek.

I know, cheesy isn't it?
