Chapter 67 Ash's Decision
Dawn's POV
I was talking with Drew, Misty and Brock outside of the academy.
Misty was wearing a black, knee length dress with white daisies on it, her trainers and a dark blue, long sleeved denim jacket.
Her hair was in it's usual style.
"You should've seen Dawn's face when John said that Dawn was the talent he had been looking for", Drew said.
"I can't believe this", I stated. "This is the greatest moment of my life!"
"Then enjoy it", Drew said.
Suddenly...I saw May.
This caused Drew to look down sadly.
"Still don't know who May wrote the love letter for", I asked.
"Nope", Drew replied.
"Well", I started before getting up. "Here goes nothing. See you guys." [Follow Your Heart Extra: What's she up to?]
I then walked up to May.
"Dawn", she said before hugging me. "I heard about the producer! Congratulations!"
"Thanks", I said. "Want to get a drink?"
Ten Minutes Later
That's how May and I ended up at the Pokémon Café.
We sat down by the counter and Dabrina walked up to us.
Although, we didn't call her Dabrina anymore. We now call her Bri. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Bri?]
She started holding Pokémon tournaments during the summer. This changed her attitude greatly. She was much kinder now. She was even nice to May! [Follow Your Heart Extra: (Faints in shock.)]
She was wearing a lilac, short sleeved top with a white Pokéball on it; her jeans and lilac sneaker styled boots.
Her hair was straight and loose.
Her Oddish (which she also got during the Summer) was standing on the counter.
"Hey guys", she greeted. "What can I get you?"
"A strawberry smoothie for me", I replied.
"And a lemonade for me", May replied.
"Coming right up", Bri said before leaving with Oddish.
"Hey Dawn", May greeted. "Thanks for giving me my love letter back."
"You're welcome", I replied.
"Drew had it", May asked in dismay.
"Yep", I replied.
"And he read it", May asked.
"Yep", I replied. "You really should tell him who you wrote it for. It's freaking him out."
One Hour Later
May's POV
I walked up to Drew.
"Hey Drew", I greeted. "Can I talk to you?"
"Sure", Drew replied. "What's up?"
With that I took a deep breath.
"I know you read my love letter. Dawn told me."
This made Drew look at me in shock.
"Oh", he said nervously. "I am so sorry. I know I shouldn't have, but I saw that it was a love letter and I freaked out!"
"Drew", I said grabbing said person's hands. "It's okay. I'm not mad."
"Oh thank goodness", Drew said as he let out a sigh of relief.
"But", I started. "I should tell you who I wrote letter for."
With that Drew nodded.
I took a deep breath and gave Drew my answer.
"I wrote it for...Ash." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Yes! Sorry Drew.]
With that Drew smiled at me.
"I figured that much", he stated. "I just wanted to make sure."
"You okay", I asked in concern.
"May", Drew started. "I'm fine. I just wanted to know."
With that Drew and I hugged.
One Hour Later
Ash's POV
Ella walked into the coordinator classroom.
"Alright", she started. "First things first. How is everybody doing with the assignment?"
Everybody said 'great.'
"Okay", Ella said. "Ash and Sky, you guys can go first."
With that Sky and I did a a bit of our performance.
I kept on staring at Sky...but I was thinking about May. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Ooo!]
"Excellent work guys", Ella stated when we were done.
One Hour Later
I was at the lockers with Brock.
"Ash", he started. "Can I ask you something?"
"Fire away", I replied.
"When you and Sky were doing your performance, were you thinking about Sky, or were thinking about May?"
This made me look at Brock in shock.
"Wh...what are you talking about?"
Brock just gave me a pointed look.
"Fine", I revealed. "I was thinking about May when I performed."
"I knew it", Brock stated happily.
"But it's complicated", I stated. "Do you know about the love letter?"
"I know about the love letter", Brock revealed. "And I also know who May wrote it for." [Follow Your Heart Extra: (does spit take) What?!]
I looked at Brock in shock.
"You do", I asked.
"I do", Brock replied. "I overheard May talking with Drew."
"With Drew", I asked before sighing sadly. "Was she telling him that it was for him?"
"No", Brock replied. "Ash, she wrote it for you."
I looked at Brock in shock again.
"Sh...she did?"
"She did."
I couldn't get that thought out of my mind.
May wrote the love letter...for me?
I smiled before looking at Brock.
"Thanks Brock", I said. "I need to go and find May."
With that I turned around and saw Dawn.
"Dawn", I started. "Have you seen May?"
"She told me she was going to rehearse her routine in the coordinator's classroom", Dawn revealed.
"Thanks Dawn", I said.
With that I sped towards the coordinator's classroom.
And when I did...I saw May rehearsing her routine...with Gary.
And it was a very passionate and emotional too.
I heard someone gasp and turned around.
It was Drew.
He ended up running off with tears in his eyes!
I glared at Gary before going after Drew.
Ten Minutes Later
Drew and I were sitting on a bench in the park.
At this point he was crying into his hands!
"You know", he started. "It's hard to see May with someone else, but it'd be easier if it was with someone who actually deserved her. He doesn't deserve her."
I patted Drew's back in an effort to comfort him.
"It's going to be okay Drew", I reassured. "May is way to smart to fall for a jerk like Gary."
"Yeah", Drew said sadly before looking at me. "Thanks Ash. You're a really good friend."
With that I smiled at Drew before giving him a hug.
And then I made the decision. [Follow Your Heart Extra: What decision?]
I wasn't going to go after May. I wouldn't do that to my friend.
HotXbun: No Ash! Don't do that!
Challenge: Tell me what you think about what Ash is doing.
My Answer: It's honorable, but I think it's just going to cause problems in the long run.
