(Drew's POV)
"How the heck does she know May's parents?!" I wondered while pacing my room. "Did she know May?" "They do bear some sort of resemblance though…"
"Knock knock!"
"Hello?" "Drew, are you there?" "Drew if you are, please open the door."
"What now?" I opened the door and stood face to face with Sapphire. "Ma-Sapphire!" "How did you find my room?"
"Solidad."
"Oh, well want do you want?"
"We need to talk about earlier."
"Err… oh yeah!" "Should I get Solidad and Harl-"
"No you don't." Sapphire responded, cutting me off. "They'll find out later."
"Okay. Here sit." I led her to a small table with two wooden chairs on either side.
"Okay so I know you want to know the connection I have with Mr. and Mrs. Maple and Max, right?" Sapphire started. "Well, yeah." "Of course I want to know!" I exclaimed.
"Well you see…. I don't have any parents." "Well, I did but they died the month before the accident."
"How did they die?"
…."I would rather not talk about that." Sapphire replied softly, looking down.
"Alright."
"I know the Maples because they adopted me when I was in the hospital."
"So that's how you know them."
"Yep." Sapphire stated. Then we stopped speaking.
"Attention everyone." "We will be docking in Veilstone City in 5 minutes." "Please get ready to exit the ship, I repeat, we will be docking in 5 minutes." "Also there is a contest being held in Veilstone City." 'Coordinators will be competing for the prestigious Ash ribbon." (I have no name ideas). A voice broadcasted across the speakers.
"We should get going now." I mumbled awkwardly, breaking the silence.
"Umm… Yeah we should." Sapphire said.
Then we left.
(May's/ Sapphire's POV)
"So now what?" I asked the group out on the dock.
"Well, we should either go get our contest passes from the Contest Hall or go to the Pokémon Center, and rest up." Solidad stated, reading a brochure
"Let's go get our passes and then go to the Pokémon Center." "Everyone up to that?" I asked.
Sure, yeah and let's go were the responses I received. So we walked up to the Contest Hall, and when we entered, we walked over to the receptionist to register. I was the last one to do so. "Name?" The receptionist asked.
"Sapphire Haruka." I stated.
"Birthplace or current residence?"
"Petalburg City in the Hoenn region."
"Parents or Guardians?"
"Ummm... My guardians are Norman and Caroline Maple." I mumbled.
"Oh, Ok then!" The receptionist looked surprised. "Here you go!" She said regaining her composure. "You are all set." "Here's your contest pass." The receptionist chirped. She handed me the pass. "Good luck!"
"Thanks." I replied. Then she asked.
"By the way do you know May Maple?" She asked.
"No I do not. I know of her though."
"Ok thank you and goodbye." The woman waved.
When I turned around, I was met with the shocked faces of Solidad and Harley.
"Wha..." Solidad breathed.
"Drew can you explain I would rather not."
"On it." He replied. "But would you like to have me explain outside?" "Away from the people?" He asked.
"Yeah that would be better."
While we were walking to the center, Drew explained everything I had told him to Solidad and Harley. We then reached the center, got our rooms and headed up to talk in Solidad's room.
"Wow I didn't know that about you, Hon."
"Yeah…" I said sheepishly.
"Ok then, changing subjects." Solidad declared. "I've read that here in Sinnoh you have to dress up to perform in contests."
"So I was thinking…." "That we could go shopping now to get our outfits and to also tour the town."
"Yeah I would love to do that!" I exclaimed.
"Ok." The boys agreed.
"Let's split into groups." "Girls and boys separate, ok." Solidad asked. "Sure." Everyone agreed.
"Ok then let's go."
Then we all exited the Pokémon Center and headed our respectful ways.
