Voilà! Alrighty then, here you go!

~May's POV~

I'm worried about Paul. He has been pushing himself nonstop, it's not good for anyone, determined or not. Speaking about determined, what is WRONG WITH THAT WINGULL?! It's been flying for just as long as we have, and it's still going! Granted, it IS a flying-type, but come on? Really? Why won't it just tire out and land somewhere where we can find food and drinkable water?! Oh, right: and some help.

~Paul's POV~

My muscles are begging me to stop and rest. I haven't stopped swimming for hours, and I know that May is worried about me. But I don't care. I don't DO begging, and nor do I give up when I have the choice. And besides, what does it matter if she's worried about me? No one has ever worried about me; people worry about those against me. I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging, but I'm not. It's true.

But still, I suppose it might be nice to have someone - besides Reggie, the few times he is - worry.

I suppose.

~Ash's POV~

Well, good news! Upon searching - all day, I might mention - we've found a plant! It's exactly one; but the berries - I don't remember what they're called; sue me - are edible, Misty says. There are exactly twenty berries on the plant, though. That's not a lot. Misty clears her throat. "Alright! So, we've been separated from the boat for, say, two days. Well, it's the second day now, so that counts! I bet by now that someone has noticed that the cruise ship isn't responding to radio signals and sent out a search party. It ought to take three days for them to find the people on the lifeboats, and another to do a final head count. That'll be three days. Then they'll send someone to find us, and that'll take two or three days for them to find us. So, we'll be here for about a week." She turns to me. "What do you think?"

"Personally, I stopped understanding after "alright." But if you say so, then okay," I admit, shrugging.

Misty sighs. "And that's fifteen or so meals...and twenty berries. Well, good thing they're large, and ripe, at that."

I groan to myself, but keep a straight face. "Well, take one!" I grin, and grab a large berry. I chuck it at Misty, who just manages to catch it. "A plant needs water to grow, right? Fresh water! Let's go find some!" She blinks at me for a second.

"Aren't you hungry?"

'YES.' "We need water!" I say instead, and duck behind the berry bush. Sure enough, there's a small but seemingly constant supply of water. "See, look!" I break off a leaf from the plant and twist it until it resembles something like a cup, then scoop out some of the water. Before long, there's about half a cup's worth, and I brandish it at Misty. "Ta-da! Here ya go," I tell her. Misty looks at me like I've lost it. 'It' being my mind, if anyone's wondering.

"You...what?"

"What's the matter, Misty?"

~Misty's POV~

Doesn't he want it? And what about the food?! Ash would normally scarf it all down before I could blink. "Um, Ash? Are you alright?"

"'Course I am, Mist! When am I not?" Well, that's Ash alright.

The question is, why isn't he eating?

Dun-dun-DUHH~! *ahem* Well, what do you think? Why ISN'T Ash eating? Is the world coming to an end?! I certainly hope not! Because if it does, will we ever find out what happened to Drew and Dawn?
