I do not own Pokemon or the characters

Chapter 2

Some notes you will want to read to understand the plot:

1) In Petalburg City the people celebrate Christmas by decorating a huge tree and buying presents. On Christmas Eve everybody will gather to open presents that were placed under the tree

2) The party after the Grand Festival will be the same party as the Christmas party. So people would attend a party to celebrate the winner of the Grand Festival and open presents

3) The chapter is beginning on the day/night that May had bought her presents for everybody

The moon was full, casting a silver-white glow down on Petalburg City. The houses were dark, their occupants having long since gone to sleep. The bird pokemon cooed in their sleep. In a dark alleyway the moonlight shined on a necklace with a cerulean stone surrounded by diamond crystals which were held up by the person who had bought it for May.

"Soon I'll win your heart," he whispered.

The next day May decided to train in the forest behind the house. She took her pokeballs and a white basket and set out for the forest.

Drew traveled through the forest, intending to find a good training spot. He was climbing up a tree and had settled down to enjoy the view of the forest when May suddenly appeared from behind a cherry blossom tree. She hadn't seen him or else she would have asked why he was sitting on a tree branch. Drew watched as May placed her white basket on the ground. The wind was blowing cherry blossom leaves around May. Drew began to blush slightly. She was so magnificent. Drew watched quietly as May pulled out a pokeball.

"Come on out, Gardevoir!" May shouted.

Her Gardevoir came out. It was beautiful with a long pink dress but its beauty couldn't match with May's. May whispered something to Gardevoir but Drew couldn't hear.

Gardevoir listened as May whispered instructions to it. Gardevoir nodded. It stood in the ring of cherry blossom trees. May picked up the white basket and threw the contents at Gardevoir. A light blue glow surrounded the cherry blossom leaves from the basket and they began to swirl around Gardevoir. Suddenly there were a bunch of Gardevoirs as Gardevoir preformed double team. They were surrounded by the pink petals. Finally the petals flew back to the basket as Gardevoir stopped double team.

"That was great," May praised her pokemon.

'It was great but not as great as you,' Drew thought. While he had been watching May train he hadn't noticed that he had been leaning forward. Suddenly he slipped and fell. May had been standing underneath him and heard him fall. She looked up only to end up on the ground with Drew on top of her. Their lips were two centimeters apart. May suddenly wanted Drew to kiss her. They leaned closer and closer. Suddenly May's Skitty popped out of its pokeball, startling the two coordinators. Drew quickly got off of May and ran away, his face bright red. May was blushing as she gathered her stuff and recalled her pokemon. She couldn't believe she had nearly kissed Drew.

Drew continued to run even though he knew he was out of the forest and away from May. His heart was beating wildly in his body and he knew it wasn't because of the exercise.

'I was so near to kissing her. Why can't I at least hug her! I know I like her but does she like me?' Drew slowed down but his heart didn't. He couldn't face May but he would have to eventually. They would be meeting at the Grand Festival. But maybe he could still talk to her without her realizing it.

May signed on to the chatroom on the pokedex and saw the person she had been talking to two days ago.

SweetRose: Hi.

ContestFan: Hi. How are you?

SweetRose: I'm okay...I guess.

ContestFan: Something the matter?

SweetRose: I nearly kissed a rival of mine and now I don't know how I feel.

ContestFan: It's usually best if you jest relax and see what happens. If you two belong together then you'll figure out your feelings. If you aren't then just move on the best you can. Follow your heart, not your mind.

SweetRose: Okay. Thank you.

ContestFan: You're welcome. See you later.

SweetRose: See ya.

May logged off and felt better. She decided to forget about the incident but knew she would never completely erase it from her memory.
