Chapter 37 May's New Job [Follow Your Heart Extra: New job? That sounds promising!]
Ash's POV
I was nervously waiting in my living room for an order from the Pokémon Café.
I wanted to see if May had been fired or not.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang!
"I got it", I yelled as I answered the door.
And I frowned when I saw who it was.
It wasn't May!
"Hello", the girl greeted as she walked in. "Where do you want me to put this?"
"Um", I started. "You can just to there."
With that the girl started unpacking the food onto the living room table.
"Um", I started. "Where's May?"
"You know her", the girl asked in shock.
"She's a friend of mine", I replied.
"Well", the girl started. "I hate to tell you this, but I had to fire your friend."
"What", I said in shock. "Why would you do that?"
"She ended up ruining an order", the girl replied.
"That was my fault", I revealed. "I was helping May with the deliveries and I fell onto the food."
"Really", the girl asked in shock. "Well. It serves May right for hanging out with people when she's supposed to be working."
"Please", I pleaded. "May needs this job."
"No", the girl cut in. "She needs a job. And it doesn't have to be at my restaurant."
And that's when I realized something.
"You're right", I said happily! [Follow Your Heart Extra: Way to be a good friend Ash!]
I then got out some money.
"Here's the money for the food", I revealed. "Including the food I smashed earlier."
"Wow", the girl said as she took the food. "Thank you."
"You're welcome", I said. "Now if you excuse me. I need to go see May."
Ten Minutes Later
I walked to May's house and saw her sitting on the porch.
"May", I called as I ran up to her.
"Ash", she said in shock as she stood up. "What are you doing here?"
"May", I started. "I'm so sorry that I got you fired. But I think I can get you another job!"
"Really", May asked in shock. "How?"
"Just come with me", I commanded before I grabbed May's hand and pulled her away.
Ten Minutes Later
May and I ran into my house and I knocked on the door of my mother's office.
"Come in", I heard her say.
With that May and I walked into the room.
My mom looked up.
"May", she said happily when she saw said person. "How are you dear?"
"Not good actually Mrs Ketchem", May revealed. "I got fired from my job today."
"What", my mom said in shock. "Oh dear."
"And that's why we're here", I revealed. "Mom, do you think you could give May a job at the Pallet House?" [Follow Your Heart Extra: So that's what he was doing.]
"What's the Pallet House", May asked.
"It's the restaurant I own dear", my mom revealed. "And I'd be more than happy to give you a job there." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Yes!]
May smiled at this.
"Really", she asked.
"But of course", my mom replied.
May squealed before she ran to my mother and started shaking her hand.
"Thank you so much Mrs Ketchem", she thanked.
"Please dear", my mom said. "Call me Delia."
"Okay", May said happily before grabbing my hand. "Bye!"
With that May pulled me out of the room.
Then...she tackled me in a hug!
"Thank you so much Ash", she thanked.
"Well", I started. "It's the least I could do."
"Well", May started as she opened the front door. "I'd better go and tell my family the great news! Bye!"
With that May left me and I smiled knowing I had mixed my mistake.
HotXbun: Phew! Glad that worked out!
Challenge: Tell me if you think May will like her new job.
My Answer: I think she will.
