Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon… this old drabble was dedicated to a friend on her birthday, using a requested topic.

The sun was slowly slipping away as dusk appeared. The sky turned a nice orange color, the clouds reflecting much of it. Suddenly, the artistic scene is broken by an angry yell.

"WOMAN!"

Brendan scowled as he sat down on a tree stump, mumbling angrily. He turned around quickly as he heard some rustling in the bushes. He sighed as Wally popped out, brushing the leaves out of his hair.

Wally walked up to him, smiling slightly. "From what I could tell from the yelling, I guess you got into another fight with May?" He asked, clearly amused. Brendan gave him annoyed look, looking away angrily.

"It's pretty serious this time…" He replied quietly. Wally looked at him sympathetically.

"You guys always work it out in the end." He replied. Brendan's face softened as he started to speak.

"It seems that our relationship… every two steps forward… there's one step back…" Brendan looked at the ground. "Sometimes it seems like…like… it seems like it's useless to continue." He finished, putting a hand to his forehead.

Wally smiled slightly. "That's the dance of love Brendan. You have your steps forward and you have your steps back. Like dancing, it can also become quite-"

"Repetitive, I know. Who knew you were such an emotional goof." Brendan said as he chuckled. Wally smiled back, happy that his friend was cheering up.

"So… what did you do this time?" Wally asked. Brendan chuckled and gave him a sad smile.

"I had forgotten… today was her birthday." He replied quietly. Wally looked at him, mildly surprised. Brendan was known for being clueless... but that was surprising, even for him.

"There's still time left… what are you going to do?" Wally asked, looking at the setting sun.

A moment of silence filled them. Brendan suddenly got up, his eyes flared with determination. "I'll make it up to her… whatever it takes… I'll make it up to her!" He ran off in search of May.

Wally watched his disappearing form and smirked.

"Let the dance begin… once again…"
