Chapter 2
"May would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" Drew asked out of the blue
May sat there stunned at what Drew asked
Meanwhile Misty and Bianca stopped giggling and Ash was expressionless
"What?" May asked after she regained her senses
"I asked if you'd like to go to dinner with me?" Drew reiterated
"Oh, okay that was what I thought I heard" May said
"So, does that mean yes?" Drew asked hopefully
May looked at Misty and Bianca then at Ash who didn't make eye contact with her
"Sorry Drew maybe some other time" May said
Drew looked a little put out, but that didn't stop him
"How about a lunch then?" Drew asked impatiently
"Drew, I don't want to go to lunch or dinner with you" May said firmly
"Fine, but if change my mind I'll be around" Drew said getting up and leaving
Once Drew left Misty and Bianca started to talk
"My god that guy is pushy" Bianca said shaking her head
Misty nodded
Ash however got up and left again
"Ash?" May asked
Misty watched as Ash left then turned to May
"I think he needs a friend to talk to" Misty stated looking straight at May
"Why me?" May asked
"I did it first, it's your turn" Misty said as she motioned her to the door
May sighed and got up to follow Ash, but stop at the door
"Where did he go?" May asked the older girl
"He's right by the bank of the river not far from here" Misty said gesturing in the direction where Ash went
May nodded and left
--
When May found Ash he had his back to her staring at the water
"Ash?"
Ash spun around, "May? What are you doing here?"
"I thought you might want some company" May said nervously
Ash smiled slightly and spun back around and patted the spot next to him. May smiled and walked over and sat in the spot that Ash gestured to. They sat in silence not knowing what to say to one another.
"This is a nice spot" May said breaking the silence
"This is my favorite spot to relax when I'm home" Ash said
"I can see why" May said closing her eyes letting the peaceful atmosphere surround her
Ash just watched her admiring her from his point of view
She so beautiful I wish I had the guts to tell how I feel about her, but she still trying to figure out her feelings and I don't want to cloud her judgment Ash thought
Ash turn away and looked back at the water lost in thought
"Ash, what's the matter?" May asked
"Nothing May, I'm glad you're here" Ash said smiling
May smiled right back
--
Meanwhile back at Ash's house
"So what do you think those two are doing?" Bianca asked looking at the orange haired girl
"I don't know May's really mixed up, she doesn't know who she likes more Ash or Drew" Misty said with a sigh
"And you're helping her with that aren't you?" Bianca asked though she had already have figured out
"That I am, she's my friend and I always help my friends I learn that from Ash" Misty said smiling
"Yeah, he's a good friend he help us out in Altomare without being asked, really" Bianca said smiling at the memory
"Speaking of which, why did you kiss Ash at the dock before we left" Misty said out of the blue
(A/N: Yes I know that it was mostly likely Latias that kissed Ash and not Bianca)
Bianca blushed slightly as she remembered that moment
"Well, you see, um, I, uh" Bianca mumbled
"It's alright Bianca I understand I had one too" Misty said putting a comforting hand on Bianca's shoulder
The two girls smiled at each other
"Hey you two" Ash said walking back in with May beside him
"Hey, Ash how are you?" Bianca asked as the two sat down
"I'm better, so what do you guys want to do?" Ash asked looking at the three girls
"Let's head to Professor Oak's lab" Misty suggested
"Sounds good let's go" Ash said getting up
May nodded and got up also and followed the others out
--
At the Professor's lab
"Wow! Ash are these all of your Pokémon?" Bianca asked amazed at the collection
"Yep, these are all mine" Ash said beaming
"Hey May, why don't you called out your Pokémon" Misty said as she grabbed the pokéballs from her bag
May nodded and grabbed hers from her fanny pack
"Come on out everybody!"
Both May and Misty called out there Pokémon
"Oh wow, you both have some cool Pokémon also" Bianca said in awe
"Thanks Bianca" the two girls said
The trio played with the Pokémon for the rest of the day.
"Man, am I exhausted I don't remember being this tired" May said yawning
"Well that's Ash for you, he and his Pokémon can wear you out" Misty said laughing
"Tell me about it" May said laughing also
Tracey came in and told them that Mrs. Ketchum is here and has food for them.
"Alright, I'm starving" Ash said
"Me too" May said
Misty rolled her eyes at her friends one-track mind
The grouped headed inside to eat and after the meal and a rest the went back to play with the Pokémon.

That night May was tossing and turning trying to find a good sleeping position, but in the end failed and decided to get up. When she got downstairs she found the front door open.
Who left that open? May thought
May decided to investigate and found Ash sitting on the roof of the house stargazing
"Ash, what are you doing up there?" May called
Ash looked down, "oh hey May what are you doing up?"
"I was going to ask you the same question" May said as she climbed the ladder that was close by
May sat down next to Ash and that's when she noticed the blanket surrounding him
"I take it you've done this often?" May asked conversationally
Ash just grinned at her
"So you never told me why you're out here" May said grabbing one of the blankets
"I don't know I just can't sleep in my bed sometimes" Ash said shrugging
May just nodded and tilted her head up to notice a shooting star streak across the sky
"Make a wish" Ash whispered to May
May shivered slightly as she felt his hot breath tickle her skin. But she did what she was told and closed her eyes.
Please help me pick the right one May thought
"So what did you wish for?" Ash asked curiously
"I'm not going to tell you" May said opening her eyes
"Why?" Ash whined
"Because then it won't come true" May said
"Fine"
May sighed and looked at the boy, who knew how to make her laugh when she wanted to cry. Knew what to say to make her feel better. And was still an enigma to her. She's known Ash for a long time now and he's still able to surprise her. She cocked her head to the side and thought about Drew, the other boy in her life. She knew everything about him and he couldn't surprise her like this one whose sitting next to her. She contemplate this some more, but found her mind wandering and before she knew it she fell asleep.

The next morning May found herself waking up in the bedroom that Mrs. Ketchum offered her.
How did I get here? May thought as she got up
She then remembered what happened last night and smiled
"Ash must've carried up to bed" May whispered to herself
When she got down to the kitchen the others were already there talking about the adventures they had
"So Mist, are you still scared of bugs?" Ash asked smirking
Misty just sent him a cold glare
"Okay, take it easy Mist I was just asking" Ash said holding out his hands to defend himself
Misty turned away from Ash and changed the subject
"Anyway I think a trip to the mall might be fun," Ash suggested clueless of the danger
May squealed with delight while Misty sighed as she shook her head wondering why her best friend suggest something that he'd regret later. Bianca however just smiled.
"Sounds good to me and I think May is in agreement with your suggestion Ash" Bianca said
Ash nodded and the group left for the Pallet Town mall
At the mall May rushed into the coordinator store and look what they had
"Why did I suggest this?" Ash mumbled to no one in particular
"It's your own fault Ketchum" Misty said grinning slightly
The three followed May and watched as the young brunette scanned the shelves
"Excuse me are you Ash Ketchum?" a clerk asked
Ash turned away from his brunette friend to the clerk and nodded
"I knew it, my boss is a big fan of yours" the clerk said
"I have fans" Ash said shocked
The girls laughed at this
"Why yes you do, in fact I think there's an Ash Ketchum fan club somewhere" the clerk said
Ash was still stunned since the only fans he knew about were his mom and friends. He had no idea that he was that popular.
"I can tell that you never knew about this until now" the clerk said
Ash nodded still unable to talk
"Well I'm surprised that you didn't know since you're very popular because of all you've accomplished" the clerk said
"I, um I" Ash stumbled
"Well, I can see that you're as articulate as usual Ash" Misty said smirking
Ash just bowed his head and sighed
After they left the shop with Ash signing an autograph or two along with May. The group went to the next store that caught May's eye. They agreed to take a break at noon for lunch in the food court. Ash paid for them, which was an uncommon act by the trainer.
"I never knew Ash was such a gentleman" Bianca said sitting down
"I didn't either and I've known him longer than anyone, really" Misty said in disbelief in what was going on
"It is amazing" May commented
"Here you are ladies" Ash said setting down the three girls orders in front of the right girl
"Thank you Ash" the girls chorused
Ash smiled and started to eat his meal
