Love In The Strangest People
---------------------------------------------
HIYA PEOPLES! Thx to those of you that reviewed. It keeps my spirits up. YAYSIES FOR REVIEWS!
------------------------------------------
May sat on her on her bed in the pokemon center and held Mew's poke ball.
" I wonder what they're doing?" She muttered. She looked at the poke ball and reattached it to her necklace. Harley stood outside her door in the shadows, listening to her talk. May sighed. " I'm overprotective over Mew, and I know it. And yet, I just can't help myself." Harley listened inventively at the mention of the legendary pokemon, already brewing up a plan. (CURSE YOU HARLEY, ALWAYS BARGING IN THESE CONTESTCHIPPING STORIES! Shutting up now.) " I mean, she helped save my brother and all, and she helped me keep my promise to mom. I'm glad she came with me." Harley decided to step in the room at that moment.
" Hi Hun." Harley fake-cheered. " What were you talking about?" The brunette looked up from her thoughts and became alert. After what had happened, she no longer trusted this devious person. (YAY MAY! Hey, that rhymes!)
" Nothing. Why, Harley?" May asked, putting up her display of fake curiosity. As if I want to know, she thought.
" Oh, just wondering. That's a nice necklace, by the way. Is that a real poke ball?" Harley saw May tense up as she calmly stood up.
" Harley, I'll have you know that some things aren't your business, and no, this isn't a real poke ball. Now get out of here." May gritted through her teeth. She hated to lie, but if it were lying to Harley, she would have no problem at all.
" Ooh, I'm shaking." Harley mocked May. " And what will you do about it? Huh?" Harley laughed in May's face. " Nothing. Want to know why? Because you're a HELPESS little girl that relies on LUCK instead of experience, or even power. You do nothing but twirl around, thinking you're so great. Want to know the reality? You're just a little-"
" Harley, what are you doing here? And why are you talking to May like that?" Drew entered the room and glared at Harley. " Get out of here." Harley snorted, then backed out.
" May, one day, Drew's not going to be here. See you later, suckers!" Harley pranced out of the room.
" Are you okay?" Drew asked May, who was shivering and on the verge of tears.
: Y-yeah. I'm fine."
" Why did you run away like that?" He asked.
" I don't know… I'm so protective over Mew, I just… I don't know." She wiped away her tears. " Anyways, let's get back out there! Race you!" The two laughed as they ran outside.
---------------------------------------------
" Hey May! Bet you I can swim faster than you!" Misty called from in the water.
" You're on!" May jumped in the water, her necklace still on, and began swimming alongside Misty. May touched the edge just before Misty did. " Yet! I beat a water gym leader! Where's my badge?" May asked, jokingly. Misty grinned and said,
" Aw, you know you could beat ANY gym leader with Mew." By accident, Misty said it too loudly, and a large crowd began shouting, 'Mew? Where?!' May glared at Misty.
" It's supposed to be a secret." She growled under her breath. Misty flinched and muttered an apology. When the crowd finally calmed down, seeing there was no Mew, only Harley remained wondering about Mew's whereabouts, having a strong hunch it was in that poke ball around May's neck. The luxury ball dangled on her neck, held by a strong gold chain. The necklace was too tight to take off her neck, Harley thought. So he would have to take it by cutting the gold. After all, gold is soft. (I experienced that first hand when I chewed up a gold ring while it was on my hand, and I skinned myself taking it off. . ) Drew glared at Harley unnoticed, seeing his hateful gaze on May. What is he thinking? Drew wondered. He remembered Mew. Oh no… Drew's gaze wandered to the girl he thought of so much. If Mew meant that much to her, there was no way he was going to let a man dressed in a Cacturne suite take it from her. Ever.
------------------------------------------------
Max saw Drew stare at his sister and Saw Harley glaring at the same person. Ash was too busy stuffing his face at the snack counter to notice, and Brock… yeah. Being her brother, Max knew of May's affection for Drew and saw that he returned it. And yet both were too stubborn to admit it. That's SOMETHING they have in common, besides their love for roses. Max thought. He knew Harley was never any good. Both boys were staring at his sister, feeling the opposite things. The girls were happily oblivious to Drew's attention for May, and Max… was bored.
----------------------------------------------
" I think I should flirt, and see what happens. I mean both of you already have your boyfriends-I mean crushes, and there are some pretty cute guys here." Dawn looked around.
" That's a good idea. With your looks, I think you could wrap ANY boy around your pinky. Just don't pick… the wrong guys." Misty said. Dawn nodded, knowing what she meant, and got out of the pool to get her flirt on. May looked after her.
" I sure wish we had the courage to flirt hopelessly like that…" May sighed. Misty sweat dropped at the sincere stupidity in May's words.
" Um, May, if you knew how many times Drew looks at you a day, you would be surprised. You don't need to flirt. I wish it were the same for Ash." Misty sighed.
" Aw, come on, you know he likes you. I mean look at- never mind." May stared at the hunched form of Ash eating.
" Um, yeah. I know." Misty sweat dropped again and stared at Brock. " This is like heaven here for Brock, I mean pretty much EVERY girl here is wearing a bikini. And that's enough for Brock. Even YOU are wearing a bikini, and I've never seen you wearing one. Hoping to impress that special someone?" Misty winked at May, who was blushing madly. She looked over her shoulder, and to her surprise, saw Drew looking at her too. The two blushed and looked away.
-----------------------------------------------
Harley saw May blush and look away from someone and followed her gaze to Drew, who was glaring at him. Harley walked over to him and asked,
" You like her don't you? Just beware what I said." Harley jeered. " It's dangerous to kiss alone." Drew blushed madly as Harley whispered something in this ear, then pushed Harley away, and walked in the opposite direction, back in the center. Harley saw this as a chance to do something, while Drew was gone.
---------------------------------------------
May saw Harley walk over and snorted.
" What do you want, Harley?"
" Drew asked me to give this to you." Harley handed her a piece of paper. May got up and took the note, getting it slightly wet, and read it.
May,
I just wanted you to know that I think you're a miserable failure of a coordinator. A pathetic piece of trash that's so clumsy, you can't even walk two steps without tripping over. Forget everything we ever did. It was an attempt to cover up my hatred for you. Next time we meet, don't even bother to talk to me.
Drew
May stared at the note, reading it over and over again, unable to process this. (Yes, this idea was from Green with Envy. If the author reads this, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!) Finally, she spoke.
" I don't believe you."
" I was just with him a second ago. See? He's gone now. He told me to give this to you and tell you that he's leaving." Harley smirked as May began to tremble and cry. " Well, bye Hun!" Harley walked away, holding in laughter at what he had done. Misty swam over and patted May on the back.
" What's wrong?" She asked. May shoved the paper into her face and, for the second time that day, ran into the center. Misty scanned it, then grew red in the face. " Why that son of a- ARGH!" She stomped off towards Drew's room.
-------------------------------------------------
As he walked towards his room, Drew saw May run pass him, crying again, followed by Misty, who stopped at the sight of him.
" What's wrong with her?" He asked, showing what Misty believed to be fake concern.
" WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER?! HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL AND HEARTLESS, YOU JERK!" Misty pulled out her-DUN DUN DUN DUUNN!!!! MALLET OF DOOM! And bonked Drew on the head repeatedly. " This one is for even GIVING May this note!" One bonk. " This one is for being so HEARTLESS about it!" Two bashes. " THIS ONE IS FOR INSULTING MY BEST FRIEND!" Three so far… " THIS ONE IS FOR DOING IT, EVEN AFTER ALL YOU TWO HAVE BEEN THROUGH!" Four now. " THIS ONE IS FOR MAKING HER CRY!" Five hits! " THIS ONE IS FOR BEING SO KIND TO HER, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SO CRUEL!" Six hits. " AND THIS ONE IS FOR KISSING HER, THEN REJECTING HER!" Seven hits. Drew moaned as Misty put her mallet back.
" I'm not done yet. Shall I continue?" She asked sweetly. Drew glared.
" What the heck was that for?" He asked. Misty glared at him with the- DUN DUN DUN DUUNN!!!! THE EVIL EYE OF TORTURE!!
" WHADDAYA MEAN WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!?" Misty screamed in his ear.
" I think I've gone deaf. And, I made her cry?" Drew asked. Misty popped a vein.
" HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID?! SHOWS WHAT YOU KNOW FOR GIVING SUCH A SWEET GIRL THAT LOVED YOU TO THE BRINK OF HER HEART A REJECTION NOTE!" Misty pulled out her mallet and hit him again.
" I gave her a rejection note?" Drew asked, eyes wide.
" Yeah! Before you came in!" Misty glared.
" But I only came in to meet with May, because Harley told me that she- HARLEY!" Drew realized. Misty realized she had just tortured an innocent person and squeaked.
" oops. sorry." She whispered in a tiny voice. Drew had already run off towards May's room.
----------------------------------------------------
May released her pokemon, not including Mew, and smiled at them.
" Blaziken, I want you to take care of Mew and the others. Don't release Mew until… I'm gone." May forced a thin smile and pressed a small dagger to her wrist, and cut deep in. Red was everywhere. She winced, then all became black. The last thing she saw was… " Drew?" She whispered, then blacked out.
---------------------------------------------------------
May woke up in a hospital with Misty and Dawn next to her.
" Why am I here?" May asked weakly. " I wanted to-"
" It wasn't from Drew." Misty cut her off. Dawn's eyes grew round with concern.
" Then who was it?" May asked. She had grown pale from lack of blood.
" Who do you think? Harley." Misty said. May turned red in anger.
" WHAT THE-?!? I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" May struggled to get up. Misty laughed.
" Good to see you're back. Actually, we did that for you." Dawn giggled.
------ PART YOU DIDN'T SEE!!!!!!------
Misty ran into Dawn as she went to find Harley, and told her about what had happened.
" Hiya girls." Harley grinned devilishly. Misty gave Harley the- DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! EVIL EYE OF TORTURE! And Dawn pulled out a- DUN DUN DUN DUUNNNNN!!!!! EVIL MALLET OF DOOM!!!!!! As did Misty, and together they beat up a VERY sorry Harley!
" THIS IS FOR HURTING THEM!"
" THIS IS FOR HURTING MAY!"
" THIS IS FOR CONFUSING DREW AND I!" (Misty then hit Harley a painful seven times) AND THE TORTURE CONTINUED FOR THE VERY EVIL VERY BAD GIRLIE HARLEY!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------
May laughed as Dawn and Misty told her what had happened.
Room next door
A very bruised and bloodied Harley sat moaning in a bed. Even Nurse Joy didn't stop to pity him. Instead, she had pulled out- DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!! THE EVIL MALLET OF DOOM! Yeah, the torture of Harley didn't stop after all…. YAYSIES!!!
Back to May
The girls quieted down as Drew entered the room. Misty and Dawn smiled in a knowing way and exited the room.
" Misty told me you like me." Drew said after an uncomfortable silence. May blushed.
" Yeah… If you don't like me back, it's okay. I understand, I mean-" Drew cut May off with a kiss. Closing her eyes, May began to deepen it, when the doctor came in and saw Drew half covering May holding a very passionate kiss. Smiling, she interrupted,
" I'm sorry, she needs her check up." Drew stopped, and both looked up and blushed. Drew got off May and walked out the door.
------------------------------------------------------------
YAY! I LIKE FLUFF! So tell me what you think!
Harley: I AM NOT VERY BAD, VERY EVIL, OR VERY GIRLIE!
Me: Says you! Pulls out the- DUN DUN DUN DUUUN!!!!! EVEIL MALLET OF DOOM! So begins another hurting session!
