Chapter 7 a romantic night
Our heroes were pacing down a road in a small forest. To their right was a river and to their left up ahead there appeared to be a bulletin board. They examined it.
"Kanto region carnival; the hottest place in Pokémon town; coming soon to Pallet…"
"Pallet town? Isn't that where you live Ash?"
"Yeah it is actually" said Ash and looked at her and sank into his thoughts
"Hey I have an idea" said the girl and he looked at her
"Why don't we go to Pallet town to see the carnival?"
"That's a good idea May" said her little brother
"It's a great idea. It sure would be nice to see my mom again"
"Are you sure she wouldn't mind us staying there for a while?" asked May
"Certainly. I've had friends over before. She doesn't mind. I'm sure she'll be glad to meet you"
"You think so?" asked the girl
"Sure. But if you don't mind I would prefer not to tell her about the whole couple thing yet"
"Fine by me" she said
Without anyone noticing, Max smirked sinisterly and his glasses flashed in the sunlight…
The gang spent the next few hours walking towards Pallet town. Finally they reached Ash's front porch. Ash grabbed the door knob and turned it
"Hello?" he called out and before he could do anything a mop appeared right in front of his face
"Whoa!..." he jumped and fell backwards
"Mime! Mime!" cheered the Pokémon as he greeted his old friend
"Oh, hi Mr. Mime" chuckled the boy and got up
"Ash!" they heard a women's voice call as Delia walked into the room
"How's my special boy?" she asked and embraced her only son
"Hi Mom"
"Pika!" waved Pikachu as he sat on his shoulder. She chuckled
"Hi, Pkiachu. Long time no see…" she said rubbed him under his chin
"Chaa…" he sighed
"Are you gonna introduce me to your friends Ash?"
"Oh yeah. Mom, these are May and her little brother Max and of course Brock"
"How do you do Brock? Long time no see"
"Good to see you too Mrs. Ketchum" he said and shook her hhand
"So where you two from?" she asked the two siblings
"We're from the Hoenn region. We joined Ash along his journey"
"That's sweet" said the women.
Knowing this was his cue, Max smirked again
"Hey May, did you tell Mrs. Ketchum about the 'development' yet?" he teased as the two froze
"Development? What development?" asked Delia curiously
"Ash and May are 'daaattiiinng…'" sing songed Max
"Oh that's great Ashy!" cheered the women
"You have got the biggest mouth!" grunted May as she gave her little brother a noogie
"Ow! Quit it May, you're hurting me"
"Not until you say you're sorry…"
"Okay, okay… I'm sorry" he said and she stopped
"Well given the fact that my little Ash has brought home a special lady I think I'll make an extra pie tonight. Mime, can you help me peel the potatoes?" he said and they disparaged into the kitchen as everyone looked at them weirdly
"You have a weird mother Ash Ketchum" blurted out Max and Ash sighed
"Sometimes she's too weird…" said the boy
Later that evening the group ate a nice dinner. Even though no one noticed it, Ash and May were holding hands underneath the table. When dinner was over they left the house and headed for the fair. They inhaled deeply and enjoyed the warm summer air in an open country town. The dirt road was empty and the streetlamps were flickering with the candlelight in them.
"It's so romantic" beamed May
"Yeah it is…" said Ash as he could feel his hand find its way into hers and he held on to it. They walked in silence as May scooted closer and rested her head on his shoulder. He blushed
"You don't mind do you?"
This time he didn't
"No. I don't…" he smiled as they walked like that in silence.
That night at the carnival they had the time of their lives; they went on the rides, they did that test of strength thing where you have to hit the button with a hammer and try to make it reach the bell. He even won a prize for her when throwing empty poke' ball at empty bottles. When asked which prize she wanted she chose a big stuffed Pikachu (which won him a big kiss on the cheek). Their final activity was going on the ferries wheel. They sat in their own cabin with a red roof with a drawing of a white poke' ball on it which matched May's bandana. They sat there holding hands as the night sky sparkled with stars. It was very peaceful and very romantic; and they liked it very much…
To be continued…
Well that's that. I hope you like it.
Peace out
