Chapter 4
May tossed and turned during the night unable to sleep as various scenarios played in her head. In one scenario she goes with Drew and later when she meets up with Ash and she finds him with a girlfriend and happy. The second scenario is she goes with Ash and they get together, but break up and part ways. The third scenario is she goes with Drew and Ash breaks their friendship because of it. All three scenarios left her feeling agitated and unable to sleep.
"May?"
May looks up and finds Ash poking his head through the door
"Ash?"
"I heard you rustling and was worried about you" Ash whispered
May couldn't help, but smile at Ash's thoughtfulness and how he cared for his friends
"I'm fine, I just can't get to sleep" May whispered
Ash thought for a moment then smiled
"Come to the kitchen, I'll make you some hot chocolate" he said
May nodded and got up
When she arrived in the kitchen she found Ash already in the middle of making hot chocolate
"Thanks Ash, for this" May said
Ash looked back and smiled
"No problem May"
Ash then set two big cups of hot chocolate with a bag of marshmallows
"I thought you'd like to add your own" Ash said smiling
"Thanks" May said as added a few marshmallows into her hot chocolate
Ash smiled and drank his hot chocolate leaving May to her thoughts
Ash is such kind and thoughtful person, I don't know how I would get to where I am without him helping me. He's been my guardian angel, my mentor, my best friend for a good part of my life May thought
"You seem to be deep in thought" Ash said breaking May from her thoughts
"Yeah, I was just thinking of all the adventures we've been on" May said making up a lie fast
Ash nodded, "yeah, I sometimes don't believe what I've done in my life"
"You have accomplished many things" May commented
"Yeah, but I still haven't become a Pokémon Master" Ash said frowning a bit
"Come on Ash, you know that it would take a long time for you to become a master" May said comfortingly
"I know, but it is kind of frustrating" Ash said frowning still
May moved over and wrapped her arm around her friend as she rested her head on his shoulder
"Thanks May" Ash whispered
"That's what friends are for" May said
Ash grinned

The next day May found herself waking up on the couch downstairs
How'd I end up here? May wondered
"Morning May, hope you're hungry" Ash said smiling
"Famished" May said
Ash grinned and walked back to the kitchen and came back with breakfast
"Here you are" the trainer said
"Ash, you didn't have to do this for me" May said smiling
"But I wanted to" Ash said softly
May felt her heartbeat speed up at his tone
"Thanks" she said softly
They stared at one another for what seemed like ages
"Morning" Misty said breaking the connection
"Morning Mist, I got breakfast for you. Just sit on the couch and I'll get it for you" Ash said
Misty nodded and followed her friend's directions and sat down next to May
"Was I interrupting anything?" Misty asked curiously
"No, no, nothing at all" May said, but inside she was very confused
"Alright"
"Here we are" Ash said presenting Misty with her breakfast
"Looks good Ash" Misty said
"Thanks, say is Bianca up yet?" Ash asked looking at the stairs
Misty shook her head as she munched on her bacon
Ash headed upstairs and nothing was heard until a shriek, which made the two girls on the couch jump.
"What was that?" May asked looking toward the staircase
"I guess Ash woke Bianca up" Misty answered simply
A little later a miffed Bianca came down followed by a grinning Ash
"What happened up there?" Misty asked with an arched brow
"Oh, I just dumped a glass of cold water on sleeping beauty here" Ash said still grinning
"I'll get you for that Ketchum" Bianca grumbled
Ash just grinned and went to get Bianca's breakfast
"Here's you're breakfast, sleeping beauty" Ash said in a mock bow
Bianca glared at Ash, but took the tray
"Ash where is yours?" May asked
"I'll get mine" Ash said
The three girl were on the couch and when Ash came back he sat in the chair closest to them with his breakfast.
"That was a great breakfast Ash" Misty said lying back
"Thanks Mist" Ash said grinning
"Well, I'm going to take a shower" May said
--
Later in the day Ash was relaxing in the backyard thinking about where he would go next.
"Hey Ash" Misty said
"Misty, what brings you here?" Ash asked
"Well Bianca and May are swapping stories and I got bored, so decided to see what you were up to" Misty said sitting down
"Nothing really, just wondering where to head next" Ash said
Misty nodded
"Do you miss traveling?" Ash asked
Misty tilted her head a bit
"I do, I mean I like running the gym and all. But the pressure of it can get to me. That and my sisters are driving me nuts at times. I miss the freedom of travel and the excitement that was there. You had no idea what would happen next. Gym life is boring, you have trainers come in and challenge you and if you're lucky they are good, but a lot of them aren't. And you might see the same trainer over and over again."
"Sounds like you could use a vacation" Ash commented
"Yes I could, but if do take one then the gym will go back to the it was, easy badge central" Misty said with a sigh at the end
"Well I can't help you there since I don't specialize in water Pokémon, but what I can offer you is a chance to travel with me again" Ash said
"Really Ash?" Misty said
Ash nodded
"Thanks Ash" Misty said smiling
