It had been 3 hours since may had invited ash to stay in her room and true to word a storm hit. Rain poured thunder crashed and lightning lit up the sky
Ash was lying there thinking about how his mother would look when he told her he actually won against cynthia when an extra large lightning bolt struck near the pokemon centre and was followed by an equally large thunder clap
"AHHHHHHH!" may screamed as she sat bolt upright with tears streaming down her face she then put her hands over her ears to try and block out the sound
Ash turned to look at her when he noticed her tears he stood and walked carefully towards her before placing a hand on her shoulder
"hey may are you ok" he asked as he made contact. May jumped as she felt him put his hand on her shoulder
Before she knew what she was doing she found herself turn around and wrap her arms around his stomach and bury her head into his stomach
"your scared of thunder aren't you?" he asked and felt her nod, as soon as she nodded another thunder clap ripped across the room and may tightened her grip
This movement squeezed the air out of ash's lungs, as soon as may heard him wheeze she loosened her grip. When ash could breath again he sat down on the edge of her bed
May appreciated this movement because she wasn't forcing herself to stay upwright now and was soon relaxing
"sorry about this ash" she said as he relaxed his back on the headboard
"its ok, it wouldn't be right if i just left you shaking would it" he said as he picked her pillow off her bed and covered her head with it to block the sound of the thunder out
Soon may found herself relaxing more and more until she finally let sleep take her
Ash heard her breathing even out and new what it meant "ha doesn't look like i'm moving any time soon" ash said as he closed his eyes
The next day may started to stirr and she felt something warm against her cheek, she opened her eyes but only saw white so she raised her head and saw white turn to a peach then she saw what she was using as her pillow the night before
As soon as she realised that she was laying on ash she jumped backwards and knocked ash off the bed in the process
"WAHHH! OUCH!" Ash shouted in surprise "talk about rude awakenings"
"why was you on my bed?" may asked in shock "oh my god you was trying to take advantage of me wasn't you?"
"wah? woah calm down don't you remember last night?" ash asked, may shook her head "the storm, waking up crying" again she shook her head. Ash sighed heavily before he began his explaination
"well last night after you went asleep i was still awake thinking about some things when the storm struck, it wasn't violent but it was loud anyway after about an hour you woke up screamin and crying. When i noticed you crying i walked over to try and calm you down. When i tapped your shoulder to get your attention you grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go so i sat down and covered your ears with a pillow. After that you relaxed and fell asleep and because i didn't want to wake you up i stayed where i was" when ash had finished his explaination may was looking at the floor "it wasn't the most comfy sleep and the wake up call hurt a bit but atleased im dry and warm"
"im sorry for causing you more trouble" may said with tears coming to her eyes
"well its true its been different but it hasn't been trouble" ash said "actually you've been helpful"
"huh?"may looked at ash for the first time since about the middle of his explaination of the events of last night
"well first if you didn't bump into me i would of been out in that storm last night and if you wern't scared of lightning i wouldn't have got to sleep till about 4 in the morning" ash told her with a smile "so thank you may maple"
May was confused about what he was saying, first he said that it was a good thing that she knocked him over then he said it was good she used him as a pillow because it some how helped him sleep
"how can that help you sleep" may asked with her curiosity getting the better of her
"well not that its self but the whole thing" ash said and pausing for a minute but when he saw her even more confused he continued "well last night i had alot on my mind so i was laying awake with it all running through my head hoping i would go to sleep soon. Then all of a sudden the sound of thunder got louder and you woke up screaming and crying, so i walked over to try and calm you down, when i tapped your shoulder you grabbed me and i don't think you was gonna let go so i sat down. Then you fell asleep and it somehow relaxed my mind and let me fall asleep aswell"
"well ok but what was you thinking about?" may asked this time out of curiousity
Ash was took off guard by her question, he didn't want to tell anyone until he told his mum in person
When may saw him thinking hard she let her brain switch to auto and before she knew it what was in her mind was being said "oh my god it was something perverted wasn't it!"
"what? No it wasn't anything like that" ash said after falling backwards off the bed
"did it involve me?" she asked not hearing him "it did didn't it, you was gonna do perverted things to me wasn't you!" she was now pointing at him "pervert"
"i swear i'm not a pervert" ash said the horror of the thought hit him hard he didn't know wheather to be horrorfied or hurt be these words
"liar! Your a liar and a pervert!" she screamed still pointing her finger but now doing a jabbing motion aswell
Ash couldn't take it anymore them words hurt to much so he stood up walked over to his bed picked up his things and left the room
May came back to sense when he stood up, and when she did she realised what she had just said and the guilt hit her but what really drove the nail home was the expression he had, he looked like someone had just kicked his Pikachu then was hit by his mum and it made her want to cry and apologize but by the time she regained her composure he was out of the room
"I've done it again" she said to herself before throwing herself backwards and whipping the covers over her head "its no wander your alone on this journey"
2 hours later a yellow mouse about the size of a house meowth with red cheeks and a lightning bolt shaped tail was poking May after about 10 minutes of this the mouse sweatdropped then sighed before scrunching his eyes shut and summoning a tiny amount of electricity
"Pika pikachu" it said then poking May 1more time and sending a current through her
"wahhhh!" she screamed jolting upwright and looking around frantically trying to find the source of her shock
"pika pikachu pikapi chu chu pikachu" it said darting around then may set her eyes on him
"hey your Ash's Pikachu right?" she asked "why are you here?"
Pikachu sweat dropped before asking his question "pika pikachu pikapi pika pikachu pika chu?"
May stared blankly at the pokemon, it had spoke in its own language but somehow she had understood what he said
"so you woke up and looked around but couldn't find him so then you woke me up hoping i'd know?" she asked and the pikachu nodded "i'm sorry but i don't know where he is you see i said somethings to him while you was still asleep and hurt his feelings so he walked out and it looks like he was more hurt than i thought if he forgot his own pokemon"
When she finished talking Pikachu's ears drooped "pikachu" it said in a depressed tone
"hey i know how about we look for him together?" she asked hoping to cheer him up "i have to appologise anyway"
When may said this Pikachu perked up a bit then jumped onto her shoulder and rubbed his cheek on hers in apretiation
