Happy New Year everyone here is chapter 3! Please Read and Review!

Ash awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. He showered got dressed and went down stairs where he saw that everyone else was already up.

"Hey Ash," Brock said. "We're gonna go grab some breakfast. Are you coming with us?"

"Brock we're talking about food. You've known me long enough to know the answer to that question." Ash said.

Everyone laughed except for May, she was still thinking about what had happened last night. She was still confused about how Ash could have even known Amber, he wasn't there when she met Amber at the contest hall. I still don't get how he could have known Amber, it makes no sense. Wait! I never asked Ash what he was doing yesterday afternoon, maybe he and Amber met yesterday and he didn't tell me. Something must have happened between them yesterday if he dreams about her kissing him. May was too caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice that Ash was staring at her.

"May are you okay you haven't said a word all morning," he said looking at her, he sounded concerned.

"Yes Ash I'm fine," she replied not looking at him.

"Anyways so I thought that we could do some training today since I wasn't there yesterday."

"Yeah, sure I guess that would be great," she said. Ash looked at her. She seems really distracted today. I wonder why she's acting this way, maybe she lied to me yesterday, she probably really was mad that I was late yesterday. "Guys I just rememberedI promised Danny that I would meet up with him this morning and I don't want to be late," she said as she grabbed her bag and started towards the door.

"May wait, I could come with you," Ash said.

"That's alright I think that it would be better if we were alone," then she ran out the door to go meet Danny.

"What's with this Danny guy, I don't trust him," Ash said as he watched May walk out the door.

"I don't think that you need to worry Ash," Lauren said. "They sound like they're just friends and there is no need for you to get jealous."

"Jealous! I'm not jealous, is it so wrong that I want to know about this guy that my girlfriend is with. Besides if they're just training then why do they need to be alone?" Ash asked.

"Well I can't answer that question for sure but still Ash you probably don't know the whole situation," Lauren said.

"Lauren's right Ash you probably don't know everything that's happening," Brock said.

Oh I know what's happening,, what's happening is that Danny guy is trying to steal my girlfriend, well that's not happening not if I can help it! Ash thought to himself then he stormed right out of the pokemon center trying to find May.

"Hey you guys have known Ash for a long time should we be worried," Max asked the others.

"Probably," everyone answered back.

May walked towards the hill where she and Danny planned to meet when she saw him sitting on a rock near the foot of the hill.

"Hey Danny, why are you sitting over here, I thought that we agreed to meet at the top of the hill like yesterday," May asked.

"I don't know I just felt like meeting you down here, but we could walk up the hill and train there if you want," he replied. May nodded in agreement and they started up the hill together. Danny glanced over at May and noticed that she seemed upset, her eyes looked hard and cold and her face was missing the glow that Danny had noticed yesterday. "Hey May, are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah Danny I'm fine," she said, and then she let out a heavy sigh and looked back up at Danny. "No Danny I'm not fine, I'm actually very upset."

"Are you upset with me? Is it something I did?" He asked looking at her.

"No its not you it's my boyfriend," she said softly.

"Oh you're upset because of yesterday right, when he was late."

"I'm not upset that he was late, but I'm upset because of why he was late," she replied.

"Why was he late?" He asked. Then May told him about what had happened last night. She told him about how Amber and their confrontation at the contest hall two days ago and how Ash was dreaming about Amber and how she thinks that Ash was late yesterday because he was with Amber.
"Do you live here Danny?" She asked.

"Yeah ever since I was a baby."

"Well do you know anything about Amber Mason?" Then Danny looked at her, he had a look of disgust on his face.

"Oh yeah I've also known Amber since she was a baby. She was in my preschool class; she used to bite the heads off dolls."

"Why," May asked she looked scared.

"I don't know I think she just likes to destroy things."

"I don't know what Ash sees in her, she's just so mean," May said.

"Well that's weird because Amber is mean to everyone except for…" then his voice trailed off.

"Except for who…" May said dreading what he was about to say next.

"She's mean to everyone except for the boys that she likes… a lot," Danny said looking at May. May just sat there trying to make sense of what she just heard. Amber likes Ash, she thought.

"She can't like Ash," May said. "He's my boyfriend," May said then she slowly turned towards Danny. "I love him."

Ash was wondering outside the pokemon center trying to find where May had run off to. He was making himself crazy thinking about May running off with Danny and leaving him alone.

"Where could she be, this is a big town she could be anywhere," he said then he heard someone calling him.

"Ash, is that you?" He turned around and saw Amber running towards him.

"Oh hey Amber, what's up?"

"Not much since yesterday, what are you doing out here?" She asked.

"I could ask you the same thing," he replied grinning at her.

"Well I knew that you were staying here at the pokemon center so I walked down here to see if you might want to hang out with me today," she said. Ash thought about it for a moment. Well I do like being around Amber, maybe I could find May while I'm with her.

"Okay sure Amber that sounds great." They both walked over towards the hill where May and Danny were. Then Amber grabbed Ash's arm and spun him around so he was facing her.

"Ash could I ask you something?"

"Sure Amber what is it," he asked confused.

"Well you know about the Star Lighting Ceremony," she said. "Where the whole town comes together and lights the star on the tree, and they also honor the champion of the Christmas Contest."

"Yeah my friend Brock told my friends and I about it when we first came into town."

"Well I was just wondering if you would like to come to it with me, you know as my date," she said nervously.

Ash stood there looking at Amber nervously. Oh no, I don't want to hurt her, but I'm May's boyfriend so I can't go with her.

"Um Amber I'm sorry but I just can't, I have a girlfriend and I know that she would never cheat on me, I hope that we can still be friends." Then Ash looked up and saw two people near the top of the hill. It was May and Danny, they were talking, Ash kept watching and was shocked at what he saw next, May and Danny were kissing!

"Ash are you okay?" Amber asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, but I changed my mind I'd be happy to be your date for the ceremony."

"Great! So do you still want to hang out today," she asked. Ash looked back up at May and Danny, they were hugging now.

"I would love to," he replied then he grabbed Amber's hand and they walked away.

Danny and May continued to talk to each other for a few minutes and then they decided to start training for the contest that was coming up. While May and Danny were training Ash and Amber were spending the day together in downtown Gem City. Ash was happy to be with Amber but he was still thinking about when he saw May and Danny kissing earlier that day. How could she do this to me? We were just fine until she met that Danny guy. I knew something was going to happen, I just knew it! I thought she loved me…but I guess I was wrong.

After a long day of training and talking May and Danny made their way back to the pokemon center.

"Thanks Danny for being such a good friend today," May said hugging him.

"Your welcome May, if you need me for anything just call me okay."

"I will thanks Danny." May said, and then she heard voices that she recognized, one was a boy's voice and the other voice belonged to girl. She looked behind her and saw that it was Ash and Amber. What is he doing with her?! That little tramp is trying to steal my boyfriend from me. I knew something was going on with them. Ash looked towards the pokemon center and saw May and Danny standing near the door. Now is my chance. Ash thought.

"So Ash did you want to hang out again tomorrow," Amber asked.

"Yeah that would be great," he said. Amber turned to walk away and then Ash grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss, Amber was shocked at first but then she closed her eyes and kissed him back.

May turned around to look at Ash and Amber again and was horrified at what she saw.

"May are you okay?" Danny asked. May didn't speak she just pointed in the direction she was looking. "Oh no."

May eyes were filled up with tears, she thought that witnessing Ash dream about kissing Amber was bad, but witnessing him actually doing it was much, much worse.
