Looking Through A Mirror

Chapter 7

It's chapter 7 already!?

I'm shocked... I didn't think my story would go this far when I started. I think it's the positive feedback... With that, thanks for everyone who reviews or reads the story!

Disclaimer: I would like to own Pokémon, but I don't.

"Eight more days..." May mumbled, trailing behind. "Only eight more days."

"May!" May looked to see Drew had turned around the corner. "Hurry up! We're almost at the exit."

Drew waited as May raced over. The two had started going through Rusturf Tunnel for around one and half day. After the contest, May had received a sleeping bag from Nurse Joy, and then she and Drew head off to Rusturf Tunnel immediately. Drew wanted to make sure that they got to Mauville City before the full moon, and to get away before the fangirls appeared to stalk him.

I wonder if May's okay, Drew thought looking over at May, lost in thought. She had been unusually quiet since they left Rustboro City. I'll just ask her.

"Hey, May?" Drew started. May looked up startled with him suddenly talking. He continued, "Do you want to go back to your own world?"

Do I? May thought. Even though I've only been here for around six days, I feel a little connection to this world...

"Well, in a way, yeah. It's where I grew up," May replied, pacing her steps to match Drew's. "I miss my family and friends even my little brother. If I did go back, I would miss having adventures and no school."

-Flashback-

"Hurry up, May! You're going to late to school!"

"I'm coming," May called out rushing down the stairs. "I can't believe I slept in! Daylight savings is really messing up my sense of time."

"But, sis, you don't have a sense of time," her younger brother, Max, stated.

"Max, I'm going to get you for that! Oh no! I need to get going now!"

-Flashback ends-

"In the six days I came into the Pokémon World, I realized that I like it here. Despite the occasional scary looking Pokémon, it seems like a really nice place." May sighed. "There's another reason why, but I can't quite figure it out."

Drew looked at May, thinking over what she just said. "Well, if I were to go into a different world, I would consider why I want to return to my own world or stay in that one. It would vary on how much I like that place or someone there."

Drew thoughts drifted back to when May first appeared in his room in Petalburg City.

-Flashback-

Drew looked at his mirror in confusion as it glowed a light blue. Suddenly, a girl with long chestnut coloured hair came flying out and crashed into him.

"Who are you? And where am I?" she asked in confusion, looking up at him with her sapphire eyes.

-Flashback ends-

"You might as well enjoy the last few days here," Drew mentioned. "You know the saying, 'Take your time to smell the rose.' After all, the future comes when it comes."

"I guess..." May glanced up to see a light ahead. "Look Drew! We made it!"

As they left Rusturf Tunnel, a sign read 'Route 117' was seen ahead.

"Didn't you say that once we get out of Rusturf Tunnel we would get to Mauville City?" May asked, confused.

Drew smirked, doing a hair flick. "If you were paying attention to me earlier, we get there once we pass Route 117."

"Oh," May replied. "Sorry. I was kind of lost in thought."

"Obviously," Drew retorted. He noticed a sudden spark of excitement in May's eyes. "What's up?"

"It's a new week! I can check my weekly fortune from Fortune of the Week!" May dropped to her knees and dug around her bag for her phone. She pulled it then started to turn it on. "Last week I got 'An unexpected journey awaits you.' Pretty accurate, oddly enough."

"I use that app too." Drew replied pulling out his own phone to open the app, "I received, ' A great surprise is coming your way.'"

"Really what was the 'great surprise'?"

"You." May blinked in surprise, then nodded.

"I guess a random girl coming from your mirror would be surprising..." May agreed. "What did you get this time?"

"Plans can be changed last minute." Drew read. "What about you?"

Any of you notice foreshadowing? If not that's okay, I tend to sneak in foreshadowing without anyone noticing :).

What do guys think about Fortune of the Week? (Foreshadowing!) If that app is real, mine would probably say, "You will walk into a door." or "Prepare to fall over nothing.". Hehehe, my clumsiness...

If I were in May's position, I would stay in the Pokémon World. That reminds me, I'm off to tap mirrors! Maybe one will be magical. :) LOL. Don't worry though, I'll still try to update.

Thanks for reading my story so far! Have yourself magical day~!
