Wow, I didn't think I would be able to upload the next chap, but here it is anyway.

Chapter 3: A Change of Plans

One by one the people left the party starting with Gary because he had to continue his research and same goes for Prof. Oak. Misty had to go back to the gym and Tracey had to help Prof. Oak with his research. May, Drew, Brock and Dawn soon started to help Ash and his mother, Delia clean up.

"I guess I'll go to bed now. Goodnight everybody." Said a tired Dawn.

"Good night Dawn." Everybody else greeted her.

"May, we better get going to Vermilion City." Drew announced.

When Ash heard this he quickly felt sad that May already had to leave. He still wanted to talk to her more. Nobody noticed Ash's feelings accept his mother and Brock. Delia who saw how sad her son was quickly thought of ideas on how for May to stay longer at their house. Then she thought of a great idea.

"Why don't the both of you sleep here tonight and anyway it's still a long way to

Vermilion City." Delia suggested.

"Sorry Ms. Ketchum Me and May have to catch a boat tomorrow for Shinnoh." Drew

said politely.

May saw how sad Ash was and she knew he wanted her to stay at his house longer, so she thought maybe that she can stay back for awhile with Ash and she'll just catch up with Drew in a few days in Shinnoh.

"Drew, how about you go ahead and I'll just catch up with you at Shinnoh in a few days,

ok?" May asked her boyfriend.

"Well if that's what you want." Drew said to May.

Ash instantly felt happy when he heard what May said and his mother and Brock also felt the same way he did at that moment.

"I guess I'll go now, bye babe." Drew said to his girlfriend.

May then gave Drew a quick kiss on the cheek and Drew returned with a quick kiss on the lips. And that kiss made Ash even more jealous and sadder as well.

"Bye Drewy, have a safe trip!" May said before Drew went out of the door.

"Bye babe!" Drew said before he left the front porch of Ash's house.

"May you can sleep in Ash's room." Delia said hoping to make Ash and May even more

closer to each other. "And Brock you can share the guestroom with Dawn, Ash can you

show May the way to your room?" Delia asked his son, who quickly answered.

"Yes mom!" Ash said politely. "This way to my room May." Ash continued.

When Ash and May were out of hearing range from Delia and Brock the two started a conversation.

"Good job Delia! You just helped Ash and May get closer to each other" Brock said

happily to Ash's mother.

"Thanks Brock, and I did it because I want to see my son happy all the time with the girl

that he loves." Delia said.

"Your a good mother Delia, and Ash is very lucky to have you as a mom." Brock said

truthfully to Delia, who was now blushing because of his comment.

"Brock your flattering me." Delia said still blushing.

Brock then looked up Ash's room, which he was now sharing with May. "Good luck Ash, you'll need it especially when your battling for May's love with Drew." Brock thought.

"Well goodnight Brock because I'm heading of to bed." Said a sleepy Delia

"Yeah, goodnight Delia." Brock said

"Brock before you go to sleep could you please turn off the lights?" Delia asked the brown haired man.

"Yeah, I'll turn off the lights Delia and goodnight too." Brock quickly replied.

"Thanks Brock and goodnight to you as well." Delia said before she walked up the stairs

and in to her room.

When Delia was already in her room Brock started turning off the lights and when all the lights were turned off Brock went up stairs and into the guestroom with Dawn and he went to sleep like everybody else in the house.
