From the Author: Whoa! Took me a long span of months to update! Sorry for making you wait! I've been very busy with all these College-thingy so it's hard for me to find time to update… I Apologize! Anyway, this is the 4th chapter of my first story. Please Read and Review! (It's not that hard to click on that review button and tell the author what you think of his story, right?) it will brighten my day to read a review from YOU.

May was really surprised to see their house well decorated. Lots of foods are well arranged on a long table, a nicely done cake, nice background music, and her parents' and friends' vibrant smiles surrounding her. Every single person in the room greeted both of them with warm welcoming smiles. Everyone seems very happy. There she saw Ash, Misty, Brock and all of her fellow coordinators and family friends. There's a huge picture of her on the wall, there is also a slideshow showing a series of May's pictures, a red carpet at her feet and a white throne-like seat on the upper part of the hall that awaits her. Everything seems well arranged, well organized… perfect. She was stunned.

"Happy birthday, May!" greeted Ash. He was wearing a nice black coat. On his right shoulder is Pikachu. (Pikachu's also wearing a black-coat with a red ribbon on his neck)

"Pika-pi!" the rodent said. It sounds like a Happy Birthday greeting.

"Thanks, Ash… also to you, Pikachu." May said still wearing a surprised look on his face.

"Oh, why, why, why didn't you tell me that you have lots of beautiful friends?! Oh, this is heaven!" Brock said as he stared at May's friends. Max suddenly did his job as he grab Brock's ear.

"Yes, Brock, whatever you say." Max is also well dressed as he greets his sister.
"Sis! Happy birthday! Don't tell me you forgot again!"

"Well, it kind of slip out of my mind…" May scratched her head while laughing sheepishly.

"Happy birthday, May. Why aren't you dressed yet? I guess you should go now. Tonight's your night. Don't forget!" Misty smiled and winked at May.

"Thanks, Misty! I guess you're right! I better go." She then realized that Drew is not on her side anymore.

"D...Drew?" May tried to find him, but she failed. She couldn't get through the people that are on the way.

"Where are you, Drew?..."

"Sis! What are you waiting for? You should go get dressed now!" Max said.

"Umm... yeah… that's what I should do…" May afterwards ran to her room. She sat down and they started to groom May.

"Drew accompanied me here.
Drew remembered that it's my birthday.
I didn't even have the chance to thank him properly.
That jerk!
Why did he have to leave?
He certainly knows that it's a special day for me!
Drew…
you jerk…
am I really not…special for you?"

"Oh, you don't seem to be that happy, Miss May." Said one of her make-up artists.

"It's…nothing… in fact, I'm overjoyed… I think I'm just nervous." Said May , she's trying not to make the people around her worry. Her thoughts are focused on Drew alone… nothing else. She just wants to be with Drew on her special day. She was really disappointed.

"If you say so, Miss May." Answered the make-up artist.

Few minutes later…

"All done, Miss May. The gown suits you perfectly."

"Thank you for all your help." She thanked the one who helped her prepare for the night. She left the room.

Beautiful, stunning, wonderful… these words are not enough to describe May that very night. Wearing a pink and white combination dress, her hair is smoothly flowing down her torso. She walked gracefully down the hall's stairs. Guys couldn't take their eyes off May… not even for a second. This beauty is worth watching.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Let us welcome our birthday celebrator, May Maple!" the emcee introduced May. She gracefully took her steps down.

The crowd began forming a circle in the middle of the hall. It's like they're waiting for someone. May was surprised to see someone wearing a smooth pitch black coat, with captivating emerald eyes appeared at the middle of the circle. She began shaking with the unexpected event. She seems excited and at the same time, nervous to take her next step.

"Drew!"

Mixed emotions greeted her. Drew extended his hand to May. She accepted the offer of a dance. The crowd began to continue their dance.

"Hey, you don't look that bad." Drew whispered as he positioned his hands to May's waist.

"Shut…up…" May gently laid her hands to Drew's broad shoulders. May can't seem to look at Drew straight in the eyes.

"What in the world should I do?! He's… he's… he's HERE!"

"Is it just your make-up? Or you're blushing too much?" Drew joked as he smiled.

"H…hey! stop it… not funny, Drew!" as May blushed furiously.

"Let's go to the balcony later… If you're not busy, that is… but, if you don't want to, I don't care either." Drew proposed.

"It's… its okay…" answered May shyly.

"Good…" Drew wasn't sure what to answer.

After few minutes of dancing, Drew then grabbed May's hand and hurried to the balcony. When they are about to reached the balcony,

"Hey! Why do you have to do that?" asked May.

"Do what?" Drew answered with a question.

"Drag me all the way up here HOLDING my HAND… that's what…" May answered without looking at Drew's eyes. Drew just stared at her for a moment… he smiled and answered…

"It'll be rude for a guy to just let a lady go all by herself."

"Why am I blushing?! Stop, May, Stop!"

"Yeah… whatever…" May answered. Drew went straight to the balcony.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?"

"Jerk…" as she stood beside Drew and raised her head to stare at the pitch dark sky. The sky brought something else with it… a small spark… followed by another… and another.

"WOW!"

The beautiful display of fireworks greeted May… such a wonderful scene…

"This is… beautiful…" said May.

"I know this simple thing fascinates the likes of you, that's why I prepared something like this."

"…"

"Well, it seems like you liked it."

"…"

"Hey… May?"

"Thank you… thank you, Drew." May spoke in a soft voice. May's teary eyes met with Drew's.

"…" Drew couldn't find the proper words to say.

"This is… the nicest gift ever… go on and laugh… I don't care…" The nice cold breeze, the soft music and the grand melody of the fireworks… it is the perfect scenery.

"May…" Drew looked at May directly in the eyes.

"…" May just stare at the nice view of what she is seeing… the face of the man she loves.

Drew kneeled down in front of May. He took a rose inside his coat's pocket… perhaps the most beautiful rose. He offered May the rose. May was just looking at him… unsure of what to do… what to say… what to feel.

"This is… a dream…"
"I shouldn't believe in such fantasies…"
"This is… for sure… a dream… but… but…
…it feels… so real…"

"May, I Love You"

…End of Chapter 4…
