Hey guys, I'm back with another chapter :) Finally.I know it's been forever and I apologize. Thanks for all the reviews, and for all of you who are asking me "What did Drew do to May?" well, you won't find out in this chapter. But Kym will find out and she'll talk a little bit about it in the next chapter. Anyways his chapter will have major Ikarishipping in it so yeah…:)
Chapter 3
"What are you doing here?" Dawn and Paul say at the same time.
"I could ask you the same thing" they say again, answering each other's questions.
Annoyed, Dawn turn and cross her arms, with a cherry red blush across her face, Paul turns also, shoving his hands in his pocket. Not that they weren't happy to see each other, after all they both did like each other, but after the argument earlier, they weren't exactly on 'I love you' terms.
"Brendan!" Kym shouts, jumping onto him, latching her arms around his neck. Brendan immediately wraps his arms around her waist, smiling to himself, "What are you doing here?"
"What I can't visit?" he whispers playfully in Kym's ear, causing her to blush.
"What? No, I didn't mean it like that" Kym says, as she pulls away, leaving her arms around his neck.
"Hi Brendan!" Drew says, loudly, trying to acknowledge him that he and the others were standing there as well.
"Oh, hi Drew" he says, as he unhooks his gloved hands of Kym's waist and gives a small wave to everyone. His cheeks tinted red.
"Hi Brendan, I haven't seen you in forever, the last time I saw you was before I left for Jhoto" May exclaims as she walks over to Brendan and gives her best friend a hug. Causing Drew to scowl and cross his arms.
'Hmm, what does she need me for, she has 'Brendan''
"So I say we get a big table, enough nine people" Brock suggests as he asks a waiter if they could all switch tables.
They all eventually sit down at a large circular table. Ash who's sitting across from Misty kept stealing glances at her. Her long, wave like hair flowed down her back and over her shoulders, her cerulean eyes shining with happiness causing him to blush whenever Misty looked back. Kym who's sitting right next to Ash couldn't contain her snickering whenever she caught the two eyeing each other.
Kym POV
'Well aren't they just the cutest?'
Flashback (this is set during Ash's Kanto journeys)
"She's a water Pokemon trainer, the leader of the Cerulean City Gym. You should see her Pokemon Kym, they're so cool, and so strong" a young boy with spiky raven hair says.
"Yeah, yeah, Misty this, Misty that, if I didn't know better I'd say that you like her Ash" A young girl with a Vulpix in her arms says.
"Um...well I don't, she's just a strong trainer that's all…" Ash says, blushing as he smiles sheepishly.
"Ash, I've known you since, like ever, and you're a horrible liar" Kym says slyly.
"Uh…yeah I know" Ash says in defeat, as Kym sends a smile across the screen, seeing Ash's blush as he continues to talk about this "strong trainer" he's traveling with.
End Flashback
Out of all the years I've known Ash, no girl like Misty has made him happier. There were a couple of other girls, one in Altamore, or whatever that place was called, I think her name was Bianca or something…hmmm, anyways then there was this other girl at the Orange Islands, Melody, yeah that was it. Then there was Anabel, I remember when I saw her over the summer all she could talk about was Ash. How strong he was, how friendly he was, how cute he was…me and Greta were just sitting there, listening to her ramble on and on and on.
"So um…Kym, how are you?" a voice says, snapping me out of my thoughts, I turn to see Brendan's smiling face next to me. I was sitting next to him after all.
"Good, great actually, I just got my badge from Wake, he was tough, but we made it through, didn't we Ninetales?" I say as she comes up to me and rests her head in my lap, I smile and begin to softly stroke her head.
"You used Ninetales, in your battle? A fire type versus and water type?" I can hear Paul's snide voice from across the table, I turn to see Paul sitting there, his arms crosses, and an all knowing look plastered on his face.
I scrunch my eyebrows and send a glare towards him.
"Well yeah, and may I say that my Ninetales beat his Gyrados in five minutes flat" I say harshly.
"Really?" Paul asks skeptically. He uncrosses his arms and places them on the table, "I highly doubt that your Ninetales beat Wake's Gyrados"
'Oh no he did not'
"Nine! Ninetales!" I turn to see Ninetales growling with fury, her tails begin swaying, and her fur standing on end. If it's one Pokemon you don't want to see mad, it's my Ninetales.
I see Dawn's mouth open and drop to the floor, as if she wasn't mad at Paul already.
"Paul! That was just rude" Dawn says. Leave it to Dawn to take my side, I'm surprised she didn't take Paul's side, considering that she practically loves him and all, why…I'll never know.
"Hello? Have you seen the badge?!?" I shout as I stand and take out my blue badge case and show him the fourth badge in the slot; it's blue and silver colors gleaming in the light. I look at Paul and he looks completely un-phased at my proof, I sigh and sit back down crossing my arms. I feel Brendan's hand on my shoulder, causing me to give him a small smile.
"Geez Paul, why the sudden attitude?" Drew says as he flips his chartreuse bangs out of his eyes.
"Just…having a bad day" He says as all his cockiness fades and is replaced with his usual calm and collective attitude.
"Paul?" Dawn asks as she places her hand on his arm. Her look of anger disappearing as it's replaced with a look of concern.
"Excuse me" With that said Paul gets up and leaves the table, Dawn just watching him go.
"Well that was…unexpected" Brock says, his onyx eyes watching him leave the restaurant.
"Yeah…" Dawn says as she keeps on eyeing the exit that Paul had previously left from, "Um…I'll be right back, I'm gonna go get some…air" She stutters. She gets up and dashes towards the door, now leaving seven people sitting at the table.
"What ever gave Paul the right to be all rude and inconsiderate like that" I turn to May, now it was her turn to be sitting with her arms crossed. She had finished that last sentence with an angry glare towards Drew. Her sapphire eyes had hurt and anger in them, rather than the usual happy, childish sparkle.
"Well maybe he had a good reason to talk like that, or then again maybe he could just be kidding" Drew says, stressing the sentence, as if to make a point to May.
"Okay, anyone want to explain the not so friendly behavior between them" I whisper while raising an eyebrow, everyone just shrugs.
'…oh right, the fight, how could I forget, I still have to find our what the hell happened before they claw each others throats out'
Normal POV
"You're unbelievable Drew" May says as she turns to face him, her arms tightly crossed, a frown displayed on her lips.
"Yeah? Well you're not so hot either. In fact you're the total opposite, you're clumsy, you're a bad coordinator, you're really childish and-" Drew begins, but before he could finish he feels a sharp pain in his shin.
"Ow!" he looks over to Kym who is nodding her head, telling him to shut up if he wants to make things better with May. Drew gets the point and then turns to May, his face immediately fell. His anger and arrogance was quickly replaced with concern and disbelief. In the corner of May's eyes were tears, her eyes read sadness but her face read anger.
"May, I-" He says softly as he grabs her hand, his emerald eyes showing apology.
"Don't even try to apologize" She says as she yanks her hand away, "I'm going out" She says, as she too heads for the door.
"Ugh" Misty says as she places her head in her hands, "first Paul, then Dawn, and now May"
"Ugh! I can't do anything right!" Drew shouts as he too gets up and heads for the door, stomping all the way there.
"And there goes Drew…hey do you think they're gonna come back for their food?" Ash says, as if he was completely oblivious to the arguments that took place.
"Ash!" Misty shouts as she flicks him in the head, right before giggling, "you're still the same as ever" she says, her voice a little more soft. Earning a blush from Ash.
"Pika, Pikachu" The electric mouse cries happily, before jumping on to Ash's shoulder.
"Azuril, Zu!" Cries the little baby Pokemon.
"I'm going to find out what happened between those two" Kym says abruptly. She gets up and begins to depart from the table, her Ninetales following.
"No-wait" Brendan says while trying to stop her, but she was already out the door, that was the fifth person to leave the restaurant within the past 15 minutes.
"So…" Brock starts, he begins to fiddle with his fork and knife, making loud clanking noises, causing a waitress to come over and tell him to keep it down.
"Of course, anything for you beautiful" Brock says flirtatiously as he grabs the girl's hand.
"You never stop do ya?" Misty asks as she yanks on his ear, causing Brendan and Ash to snicker.
"You know as weird as this may seem, I kind of missed the classic ear pull, now it's just painful jabs to the gut" Brock says clutching his stomach.
"Yeah, I missed her too" Ash says quietly as he gazes at Misty, laughing while Brock tells her about him and Croagunk. Hearing a snicker Ash turns to see Brendan giving him a 'you so like her' look, causing him to blush, and smile sheepishly.
Outside with May/May POV
"That, that jerk, the nerve of that guy, the things he said, especially right after he-" I stop mid-sentence, and bring my fingers to my cheek. A smile finds manages to find a way to escape my lips.
"Even when I hate him, I don't…ugh, May what are you going to do with yourself?" I cry in frustration, then I feel my toes stumble over a rock, causing me to fall helplessly, I tried to read my hands out to break my fall but something stopped me. I look up and sure enough I see Drew's face, smiling at me…wait, smiling?!?
"Um…Hey May" He says, as he helps me get back to my feet, his arms still clasped around my waist. Somehow, I liked the feeling of having Drew this close.
"Drew…"
"No, let me talk first" He says forcefully. I nod my head urging him to continue.
"I was a jerk, both times, and the things I said, I really don't mean, I think you're a great coordinator, and I also think you're pretty damn cute, so yeah, I'm sorry" He says as he lets go of me, and flips his hair. Did he just say what I think he just said?
"Forgive me?" He asks hopefully. His hands emerge showing a ruby red rose, its petals still fresh and the fragrance as wonderful as ever. I smile and blush.
"How can I not?" I say as I run up to him and enclose my arms around his neck, I can feel him tensing up but then his two arms wrap around my waist. I feel him begin to stoke my hair, this was all so perfect.
Normal POV
"Yay, you guys made up!" A girl says while clapping her hands together. May and Drew quickly let go and wave a hi to Kym.
"Um, yeah, guess we did" Drew says with a smirk. May blushes and tucks the rose behind her ear, sending a small smile to Drew, making him blush and flick his hair, before shoving his hands in his pockets.
"So now that you guys are on lovey dovey terms again, you wanna explain what happened before?" Kym asks slyly.
"Um…sure why not" May says, as she sits herself down on a nearby bench, they were in Hearthrome Park after all.
"So…." Drew begins.
With Paul
A boy walks along the sidewalk, his hands shoved tightly into his black pants, his lavender bangs hanging over his eyes. A certain blue-haired coordinator invades his thoughts as he continues to walk down the street.
"That girl's just too much" He says with a smirk.
"Who's too much?" A sweet voice says from behind him, Paul knew that voice to well, his smirk turned into a smile as he stopped in his tracks. Dawn who was following his every step, was unaware of his sudden halt, which is exactly why se ran straight into Paul, knocking him over in the process. Their legs entwined, and their faces inches apart.
"What'd you stop for?" Dawn asks, while rubbing her head.
"Well if you hadn't ran straight into me, maybe we wouldn't be in this position!" Paul shouts, his last words earning a blush from his face.
"Well I only ran into you because you stopped!" Dawn shouts. She pushes herself up but the soon collapses, knocking into Paul once again.
"Will you get off me already!" He says, propping himself up on his elbows.
"I-I can't, I think I hurt my wrist" Dawn says while trying to move it, having little success. "Ow, ow" she cries.
Paul POV
"Are you alright?" I ask as I grab Dawn's wrist and begin to examine it, I can see her blush from the corner of my eye.
'What in the world am I doing?'
It's like my mind is saying no, but my body won't listen. This girl is driving me crazy!
"Um, yeah, I'm fine…here I can get off of you now" She says with a slight giggle, but before she had a chance to get up, I, or rather my body, rolled over, making me in the top position, my hands on each side of her.
"Um…I-uh" I begin to stutter.
'This is so not cool, what the hell am I doing?'
"Hey Dawn, are we interrupting something?" A voice says, I hurriedly jerk my head up and see two guys standing right in front of me.
"Who are you?" I say, my rudeness coming back, I send a glare to both of them.
The blond one just smiles, and begins to fix his green scarf around his neck, his orange striped polo blowing in the wind. While the other boy, with dark hair, and a red and blue hat just stands there and waves a small hi to Dawn. His shirt almost identical to Ash's, and a red scarf around his neck.
'What is it with these people and scarves.
"We could ask you the same thing" the blond says slyly.
Dawn tilts her backwards to get a view on who I'm talking to, her mouth quickly opens.
"No way"
Yay, a cliffie :D Well if you know your Pokemon characters, you'll hopefully know who I'm talking about, and if you do feel free to say so in your review because um…I'm not sure of the blond guy's name :D hehe. Well this is the longest chapter I have ever written, I hope you all liked it, I'm going to be writing the others this longs too, add more detail and such. So yeah, please review.
