A/N: The only thing new is what I added after Yue said good night. So if you've already read this chapter...you might want to start from there.


Chapter 4

"I'm starving! When can we get something to eat?" May asked.

"As soon as we get to my place," the girl answered.

"Don't mind May, she's always hungry," Drew added dully.

"I am not!" May huffed, but Drew ignored her; the girl didn't.

"Do you two always fight?" she asked hotly.

"Duh." May and Drew answered in unison.

"What have I gotten myself in to?" the girl cried.

"A whole lot of trouble…" Drew muttered under his breathe.


Where was she? It wasn't like her to be late. Moonlight was starting to get angry. How could she be late? She knew the dangers of the border…all too well.

Moonlight called for her pupil, no answer. Moonlight took a deep breathe; she was usually a very patient being…until they came.

She was just getting anxious. If anything happened, her pupil would be blamed, and if she was blamed…something she didn't deserve, it would be un-fair treatment. Moonlight despised un-fair treatment.


"So…do you have a family?" May asked curiously. The girl didn't answer.

"Do ya?" May asked again.

"It depends…" she stated.

"Depends on what?"

"On how you look at it!" she spat, Drew couldn't take it anymore.

"Look! We were swept here with no choice and don't know anything about where we are! We're wet, tired, hungry, and being treated like idiots! We are not idiots, and you need to straighten up!" He cried angrily.

The girl was silent for a while, her steely-blue eyes looked un-decided. Finally, she shut her eyes and took a deep breathe. When she opened them they weren't sharp and annoyed, but soft and understanding.

"Look…a lot of things have been happening lately. I don't know who to trust, and I'm scared. I always have to be on guard. Always learning to get through obstacles when I find them the first time. It's a hard life, and the worst is, I don't have any blood family or friends to share my fears with. I'm sorry, ok?"

May and Drew let this sink in a while, then May was the first to speak.

"I'm May, and this is Drew…consider us your first friends."


When Moonlight was about to get bored she noticed something in the distance, a closer look told her it was her.

"Finally…" she muttered. Now here came the hard part, acting.


"I'm back!" Yue, as May and Drew had learned her name was, called. At first, the two coordinators had no idea who she was talking to…then the saw it.

An bright white blur whooshed down the hill in front of them.

"Absol." Drew said sadly, he missed his own Absol. He hoped it was ok.

"This is my…partner…" Yue said.

"Hi there," May said, the Absol stared at her and didn't make a sound.

"Come on," Yue said flatly as she walked up the hill, when May and Drew got to the top the saw a house, it was small, but looked 'cute' as May called it.

Yue opened the door and walked in, Absol followed. Drew sat on the yellow couch, May sat next to him.

"Here we are. Now, I believe you were…hungry?" Yue finished her sentence, but it didn't matter. Drew had fallen asleep on the couch, and May had as well, but she had fallen to the side when she did so and had her head on his shoulder.

Yue laughed "Night."

--------------------------------

May's eyes slowly opened as the sun's rays lit up the wood floor. For some reason, her head was resting on something.

"Oh, it's just Drew…" May said groggily "OH MY GOD! IT'S DREW!" she shrieked as she realized what she had just said. She jumped off the couch so hard that she lost her balance and hit the floor.

"Uh, good morning to you too?" Drew said. He had woken up after May had gotten off of him; he had no idea why she was so freaked out.

"I suggest you get up, May, and get something to eat." May and Drew looked for Yue, but all they saw was Absol.

"She must have called us from the kitchen…" May suggested as she got up and ran around the corner. Drew shrugged and walked behind her.

Absol smirked.

-----------------------------

"This is pretty good, Yue! What is it?" May asked through mouthfuls.

"Goldeen guts." Yue answered; May spit out her food onto her plate.

"Gross!" she sputtered. Yue giggled.

"I can't believe you fell for that!" she cried.

"Heh…heh…" May pretended to laugh, sheepishly. Drew rolled his eyes.

"I would like to know why a girl at the age of 12…"

"I am 13." Yue interrupted.

"Ok…13, is out here on an abandoned island with nobody else around…"

"Besides Absol." Yue corrected.

"Sure…besides Absol!" Drew finally finished.

"It's a terribly long story, don't get her into it…" a voice complained.

"Why are you talking in first person?" May asked Yue.

"Huh? I…oh, I felt like it." Yue answered. Drew cocked an eye brown, still unsure his question had been answered.

"So…how about we go into the living room?" Yue asked.

"Don't get any ideas," the voice said to Yue as May and Drew left the room.

"Too late for that," Yue answered "I'm telling them the whole thing."

Absol gave Yue's back an exasperated look as she too, left.

"When does she ever listen?"
