OMG I could swear I'd already posted this chapter! Well I'm sorry I made you all wait so long, and for the record the next chapter is a lot longer
5: The Rude Awakening
It was the next morning. The sky was a soft baby blue with a scarce amount of fluffy clouds floating lazily on the breeze. The sun was already shining, promising another good day weather wise.
A bright ray of sunlight crept in through a crack in the curtains and eventually woke May. She sat up straight with a yawn, and smiled, ready to start the day. But her smile soon faded to a look of confusion as she looked around her. Weird, she thought. I don't remember our room looking like this.
The room didn't seem as tacky as pokemon centres rooms and looked slightly posher. Next she noticed with a start that none of her friends were in the room. In fact there weren't even beds for her friends. Alarmed now, May threw herself out of bed. 'Whets going on, how'd I get here?'
She walked round the new room, trying to think. Was it possible that when she got back yesterday, she somehow walked into the wrong room? I can't have she thought, I remember saying good night to Ash.
She stopped a little dazed. Next to her, on the pale blue wall, was a mirror, shining in the morning sun that was pouring in through the window.
She stared into it and found her own sparkling green eyes staring back out. Wait a minuet she thought green eyes?
Drew woke when he heard voices interrupting his dreams. He yawned, then rolled onto his side and fell asleep again. Many trainers would get up early in the morning to train, and some people liked the feeling of waking up. Drew was not one of these people. He liked to sleep and lay in, and that's just how he was. So you can imagine his annoyance when another voice roused him for the second time.
'Come on, you can't sleep all day. It's not like you to oversleep.'
Drew turned over again to see an older boy looking down on him. He vaguely recognised the boy from somewhere.
'Hey, we need to find a place for breakfast before its time for lunch!' Another boy, around Drew's age walked up behind the first. Drew recognised this one. It was the same guy he beat at Fallarbor town, and argued with yesterday. What was his name...?
The two boys started to walk away and a younger one appeared. 'May, I thought you would want to train again today.'
May? Thought Drew, too stunned for words.
He looked towards the window and felt his breath catch in his throat.
The reflection of a brunette girl looked as equally horrified.
'What the?' May stood back to get a better look at the person in the mirror. Green eyes, green hair. She looked down and saw clothes that weren't hers. She knew exactly whose they were though.
'But how….?' She breathed in a male voice. She shut her – or rather Drew's eyes. She opened them and looked back at the mirror in hope that the image would be somehow different. Drew stared straight back at her.
'What happened?' She asked the reflection, as she raked her own brain for an explanation. She gave up and decided to find Drew.
Drew ran his fingers through the shoulder length hair. He stood up and looked down at his new figure. Wow, those aren't mine…
'May, what are you doing? Hurry up!' One of those other boys called.
'Coming,' Drew called back automatically, in a high girlish voice. He came to a decision, and got up. I need to find May.
Drew stepped outside the pokemon centre beside the other boys, and breathed in deeply the crisp, fresh morning air. Then he decided to start searching. If I'm in May's body, that must mean Mays in…
'May, where are you going?' Asked the youngest of the other boys.
'Oh, uh nowhere,' Drew replied innocently, and found himself following the rest of the group without a choice.
