The kiss they shared at the lake was supposed to be intense. She couldn't help but find it strange, that she doesn't feel something from it. Maybe if she kept trying, she eventually will…They spent the rest of the day together in the sun, having loads of fun. But May's thoughts kept going back to their kiss, what can she do to find out if what they had was real or not?

Later that day, at the house—May had just finished her shower and was drying herself off in her room. Now Brendan was taking his turn. May was just in her underwear when her thought wandered back to their moment at the lake. She understood why she was so hung up on it: she wanted more, maybe that will fix the connection they once had.

She walked out of her room and snuck over to the bathroom. Steam was coming out of the shower as Brendan was still using it. May licked her lips, suddenly feeling shy. She reached for the shower curtain and pulled it open. Brendan snapped his head to her direction.

"Hi," she breathed out with a bright blush, looking at him with an unsure feeling. She just wanted to feel something.

"Hi?" he questioned, unsure where he should cover himself.

She undressed in front of him and entered herself into the shower, looking up at his eyes. She closed the gap between them. She reached up to him, pushing his head down until their lips met. May pressed her body up to his as he wrapped his arms around her skin. It wasn't long until their tongues met. May jumped to wrap her legs around his waist, kissing him rapidly. He pinned her up against the wall as he started to kiss his way down to her neck. She sighed softly, still feeling nothing at all.


Gary walked up to Leaf's door with his hands buried in his pockets. She called him to come over and he couldn't hide his excitement. This must when she'll tell him that he can move back in again. The divorce was surely over.

He pounded his fist on the door, knocking. Leaf came answering the door.

"Hey!" she said with a small smile.

He grinned back at her as she let him in, leading him into the living room.

"So, I was going through the papers" she suddenly started, "and I noticed that you forgot to sign page four," she said, sitting down on the couch, looking up at him.

He stared down at her, confused, refusing to sit down.

"What?" he asked in disbelief.

She held up the documents to him with a small frown on her face, "Page four, you forgot to sign it."

He suddenly froze, feeling his heart clench in his chest. "I—I thought. But, the other night..."

Leaf gaped at him and sighed softly. She gently placed the papers back on her coffee table and stood up.

"Gary I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I misled you, but that night meant nothing. That was our bonus night," she whispered to herself, as if she was trying to convince her self that same thing.

"Bonus night?" he echoed with a scoff.

She nodded her head slowly. "Yeah, every broken-up couple has one. Its night with JUST sex and no strings attached. I thought that was what you wanted," Leaf told him, fidgeting uncomfortably under his glare.

It was the first time ever that Gary wanted to hurt someone. He was flaring with anger and embarrassment.

"Leafy—I—that night meant something to me, okay? I told you I was still in love with you and I meant that! I thought we were having a moment that night," he growled harshly at her.

"Gary, I'm sorry. I didn't know..." she apologized, avoiding eye contact with him. She couldn't keep him in this marriage. She was afraid, but of course he didn't need to know that.

"Didn't know?" he repeated with anger, "You were the one you initiated it! And I told you, I'm still in love with you, Leafy! I still love you and I won't ever stop!"

Leaf bowed her head, unsure of what to say. She wanted to so badly, to run into his arms and kiss him, and tell him she loved him too. But something was stopping her. She licked her lips until she finally looked up at him. She shook her head softly, "I'm sorry..." she whispered

Gary scowled down at her. "So am I." He walked passed her and went for her coffee table. He sat himself on the couch and grabbed a pen. He slipped the divorce documents closer to him and turned to page four. Violently, he signed. He threw the pen across the table and shot back up.

"Smell ya later Leaf," he grumbled before heading for the door.

Leaf watched as Gary walked away, feeling sick and guilty to her stomach. She didn't want him to leave. She froze. She suddenly really did feel sick in her stomach. She held her abdomen but it seemed to have only made things worse when she started to feel her lunch run back up her throat. She ran for the bathroom.


Brendan and May arrived back in Hoenn past seven in the evening of Sunday. They had the most glorious weekend together and felt closer than ever. Well, at least Brendan did. May was just unsure at everything right now. Even though it was amazing. She just wasn't sure. But at the sight of the city, rising up upon their gazes, seemed to help them realize their sudden need of rest. Yes, they just got back from a vacation, but the fun wore the out.

Brendan helped May carry her bag back up to her apartment door.

"Thank you so much for the wonderful weekend," she said softly to him before opening her door.

"My pleasure," he said with a smirk.

She tipped to her toes to meet his lips with hers. "Would you like to come in for a moment?" she asked him, maybe if she tried again.

He sighed softly, "You know, I would love to, but I gotta check in at the hospital. I'm sorry," he apologized.

She stroked his cheek. "I understand. It's really okay, you really need to stop apologizing for your work. Kids would be sick if it weren't for you."

"I'm not the only Pediatrician here, you know" he said with a chuckle.

She smiled at him softly, "I know that, but in my head, you're doctor sent from the heavens..." she kissed his lips again as he laughed through it.

"I'll call you," he told her

She nodded her head. "Goodnight..."

May closed her door behind her with sigh. Why couldn't she feel anything anymore? Sure, she had fun with him. But what the hell was missing. She dropped her keys on her nearby table and took off her jacket.

"You and Brendan, huh?" someone said from the living room, making May jump and scream in surprise.

"Arceus! Drew!" she shouted at him. "What the hell are you doing here?" then she remembered, her eyes widened as her heart hammered loudly in her chest. "Oh my Arceus, I totally forgot! Our date! Don't worry. Just let me take a quick shower and we can go," she headed for her bathroom but Drew wasn't finished.

"Why didn't you tell me you were dating Brendan Birch?" he asked her with a hurt look on his face.

She turned back around to face him. "What?" she asked, feeling sort of ashamed that he caught her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked her angrily, standing up from his place on the couch to approach her.

She shrugged softly, feeling incredibly guilty. But she couldn't help but notice her heart racing at his presence, "Because Gary told me not to, which I never really knew why," she whispered softly.

"How long have you two been...?" he asked hesitantly, not wanting to hear the answer.

"Almost a month," she replied, guiltily

He licked his lips. "A month" he gritted through his teeth. "A month..." he let out a scoff and started walking around her living room.

"Drew," she furrowed her eyebrows, "What's up?" she asked him nervously.

"I can't believe you did this to me again," he told her, with an angry sigh.

"Did what again? Drew, what are you talking about?" she sounded defenseless.

"You" he yelled, "blowing me off for Brendan Birch again, it's like fucking prom all over again!"

"Prom?" she repeated with a frown, "Wait a minute, you told me you were fine with me going to prom with Brendan! If you had a problem, why didn't you say so? I was offering to cancel with him, but you said no!" she shouted back at him.

"Because I didn't want to be your fucking second choice! I knew that if you went with me, you'll just be settling! I didn't want that! I would hate that!" he screamed at her.

"Drew, you're my best friend—" she went up to him to hold him, but he threw her arms off of him. She felt her heart break into a million pieces. Why is she having an anxiety attack about this? Why is she suddenly feeling like a horrible person? Why is she afraid of him walking out that door and never returning?

"What if I don't want to be your best friend anymore?" Drew whispered out painfully.

May froze suddenly. She felt her heart clench in pain, this was the feeling that she suddenly felt she was missing with Brendan. The anger, the love, the passion.

"I've been meaning to tell you since high school—at prom, I was planning to tell you—I love you, May. I love you." He looked at her for a reaction, but she was frozen. "And then... and then I find out that you said yes to prom to Brendan after you PROMISED, double promised that you would go with me! And now, you come home late for OUR DATE that YOU AGREED TO, from somewhere with the same guy... I just can't—I can't do this anymore."

May licked her lips as tears started to form in her eyes, she doesn't want him to leave. She doesn't know if she can handle him leaving again, "Drew, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I'd said that I said yes to Brendan to prom, but—come on! Drew, I was a teenager! My hormones were all over the place! Brendan was my ultimate crush. And the way he asked me, he made me feel special and beautiful. Superficial as it may sound, but all I wanted was that."

Drew scoffed and shook his head at her, "You were always special and beautiful to me, May."

"Then why didn't you make me feel it? Why did you have to wait till prom to tell me that you were in love with me?" tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"I can't believe you're turning this on me..." he mumbled in disbelief.

"I can't believe you're turning this on ME!" May echoed. "Drew, I had no idea about your feelings! Please don't leave," she said in a panic.

"May, you said yes to Brendan when you already said yes to me... twice. I think that says enough. Prom was forgivable, but this..." he scowled at her, "I think telling you my feelings would be useless."

"Drew..." she reached as tears streamed down her face.

"Do you love him?" he asked. She didn't want to answer that question. Because she was conflicted. "Answer me, May, do you love him?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know... But it's only been a month, Drew..."

"I've to go..." he headed for the door, not looking back at her at all.

"Please—Drew, wait!" she called out to him but he was already gone.
