Well I had some extra time today so I updated twice today enjoy!
I DO NOT OWN POKEMON!
The next morning May woke up feeling nervous yet at the same time very happy. Last night she just convinced herself that she would tell Ash her true feelings for him. But when she came downstairs she didn't see Ash anywhere. Brock was reading, Max was playing a videogame, Ash's mom was making breakfast and Miley and Ashley were sitting in the living room talking.
"Good morning May," Miley said.
"Good morning," she replied. "Hey have you guys seen Ash at all this morning?" She asked.
"Yeah," Ashley said. "He and Lauren went to go train their pokemon earlier this morning."
"Oh okay," she replied. That's okay I'll just tell him when he gets back. She thought.
Meanwhile Ash, Lauren, and pikachu were sitting in a grassy area farther from the Ketchum residence.
"This is nice," Lauren said. "Not only do I get to help you with your song but I also get to spend some time with pikachu."
"Pika pi," pikachu seemed to be happy with this arrangement as well.
"So Ash have you picked a song yet?" She asked.
"Oh yeah!" He replied. "I'm gonna sing You're My Best Friend."
"Oh I love that song; this is great because I already know how to play this song on my guitar." She replied. So they worked on that for awhile until Ash really felt like he had the lyrics down.
"Well it took awhile but you finally got it," Lauren said. "Tomorrow we can work on your singing skills."
"We should get back to the house c'mon pikachu," Ash said as pikachu jumped on his shoulder.
"Hey Ash we should have a race," Lauren suggested. "I want to see if I can actually beat you now that I'm older."
"Alright, let's do it!" He exclaimed never able to turn down a challenge.
"Okay on three 1…2…3…" she said. And they were off, running towards Ash's house. To his surprise Lauren beat him!
"Man Lauren, you sure got a lot faster over the years," he said panting.
"Thanks, this is great I can actually beat you now," she said laughing.
They walked through the door and saw that everyone had already started eating without them.
"Hey couldn't you guys wait for us?" Ash asked.
"Well we were but you guys were gone for awhile," Max asked as he took a bite of his scrambled eggs. So they sat down at the two available seats next to each other on one side of the table. Ash told everyone made up stories about their training. And also told them about how Lauren beat him when they raced over to the house. Everyone congratulated Lauren telling her that no one could beat Ash in a race until now.
After breakfast everyone went to go do other things: Lauren and Miley were watching television with Brock, Max was playing with pikachu on the floor, Ash went off somewhere, May was trying to find him, and Ash's mom was reading a fashion magazine.
Ash was sitting by a group of trees thinking about him and May if this plan worked. He was thinking about all the good times that they could have being boyfriend and girlfriend like going on dates, not having to be nervous when he was around her, and although he tried to ignore it… kissing. Then he looked down at his watch.
"Whoa," he said when he realized that he had been thinking for 45 minutes. He was about to get up when he heard footsteps approaching him.
"Who's there?" He asked.
"Don't worry it's just me," a sweet voice replied. It was May's. He was relieved but he had butterflies in his stomach. "I've been looking for you for a long time." She said.
"Oh okay," he said. Then he got up and looked at the girl he secretly loved.
"Um, Ash can I tell you something?" She asked slightly blushing.
"Sure may you can tell me anything," he replied.
"Well Ash I um-," then she was suddenly cut off when Ashley came running over to Ash calling his name.
"There you are Ash I've been looking all over for you," she said. "May do you mind if I steal Ash for a little bit? I need to talk to him about something important."
"No of course not," she said disappointed. Then Ashley grabbed Ash's hand and they ran out of the trees. Darn it! I was so close, what's Ashley up to. What ever it is I'm gonna find out. She thought, and with that she followed them to the lake and hid behind a tree. They were talking, just talking. Well that's a relief, but I better stick around to make sure. She thought.
"Well Ash this is where I think you should tell May how you feel," she said proud of herself. "Just picture it you and May under the stars you telling her you feelings, giving her the necklace, the lake shining under the moon it's so romantic." She gushed.
"That'll be great, thanks Ashley for picking such a great spot." He said.
"You're welcome, now it's time for you to practice on me, do you know what you're going to say?" She asked.
"Yep I figured it all out last night." Then he started saying to Ashley what he was going to say to May he was even making the movements he was going to do with May. Wow he is really prepared. Ashley thought. Then Ash took her hands in his.
Oh no what is doing! I need to get closer so I can hear what they're saying. May thought so she crawled over and hid in some bushes. Now she could hear Ash talking.
"Well I can't hide my feelings any longer I have to just come out and say it… I love you." He said to Ashley. May gasped.
"Oh Ash, I love you too," Ashley said. Then Ash pulled her into an affectionate hug. May couldn't watch anymore. With tears in her eyes she quietly crawled out of the bushes and away from them and when she knew they couldn't see or hear her anymore she got up and ran into the area where she was going to tell Ash her feelings and cried.
