Part 4:
"well, while your thinking, I'll go swim in the pool." may told him, unwrapping her arms, and walking to the bathroom to change into her swimsuit. "There's a great outdoor pool!"
He blinked a few times, then smiled and flicked his hair "I think I'll come with you."
She smiled sweetly at him "okay. Change after me." She then closed the bathroom door.
Drew got his swim trunks out of his bag. May came out of the bathroom with a red bikini on. It had a pink flower on the left side of the top. Drew kept himself from staring and gracefully walked into the bathroom to change.
"Wow this pool is huge." Drew noticed when they reached it.
"That's why I love it so much!" May smiled, dropped her towel on a nearby chain and ran to the pool, diving in.
Drew walked over to it, and set himself in slowly. "The sign says no running." he stated to May, when she came back up to the surface.
"Well, its okay when you're going to jump in." She declared, although she knew he was right.
"There is a storm approaching" The captain said over a loudspeaker, "Please, everyone report to your rooms."
"But I just got in the pool!" May complained.
"Come on! You heard him!" Drew grabbed his towel and draped it over his shoulders.
"Fine" She got out of the pool and wrapped her towel around her chest.
After they had gotten to their room and changed, May collapsed on the bed once more. "Stupid storm. Ruining all my fun."
"You can swim tomorrow." Drew said, trying to hide his annoyance.
May didn't say anything and sat up, biting her lip.
"What?" Drew asked.
"I get...kinda nervous on boats when there's storms." She admitted.
"Like...seasick?" he asked.
"No...just...nervous."
"Don't throw up on me." He teased.
"I'm not going to! I just get...nervous. I don't know...I just...do."
"Well...why don't you just sleep through it? It's dark already." Drew suggested.
"I guess..." May said quietly, and took off her bandanna and shoes, and slipped under the covers.
Drew took off his jacket and shoes and lay in the bed next to May. They fell asleep for a while, until something woke Drew up. He awoke to find May grasping his shirt, her face buried in his chest. His shirt was wet, from her tears.
"May?" Drew murmured softly. She did not stir. "May?" he said, a bit louder.
"What?" May's muffled voice asked.
"Is...Is this what you mean by nervous?" He asked, thinking about each word before he said it.
May just nodded slowly, tightening her grip. Drew let his happiness show with a warm smile, knowing she could not see it. He ran his fingers through her hair, to comfort her, until she slowly fell asleep. Once she was out, Drew let himself relax into sleep as well.
The morning light woke May the next morning. She noticed her shirt was shoved up slightly, revealing her belly button. She then felt Drew's arm firmly around her. His hand was placed on her lower back, his fingertips up her shirt. She tried to think of how this was, then remembered how she had acted the night before. Her face turned pink, recreating the scene in her head. She let go of Drew's shirt that was tangled in her fists.
"Drew?" She squeaked. He didn't move, for he was sound asleep. "Drew?" She nudged his chin with her head.
He groaned deeply. His eyes opened slowly, then widened when he saw himself holding May against him. He withdrew his hand, and rolled to his back, his face hot. He stared at the ceiling.
"Sorry about...last night. That's just how I get." May apologized, her face red.
"It was nothing." Drew said without turning his head. He got up, and put his jacket and began pulling on his shoes.
"Where are you going?" May questioned, propping herself up with her arms.
"We woke up late. We're in Kanto now." He told her.
Her eyes widened, and she jumped out of the bed, fastening her bandanna loosely around her neck, and throwing on her sneakers without tying them. She grabbed Drew's hand, and pulled him out of the door, up the stairs, and onto the Kanto pier. She stared around in awe for a moment, then began dragging Drew again.
"Where are we going?" He asked her, struggling to keep up.
"KANTO" She screamed, and continued to run.
Drew chose not to protest. He enjoyed to see May's happiness, and just ran with her.
They had been running all over Kanto until dark. Drew stopped short, grasping May's hand to stop her. Once she did, he let go, and put his hands to his knees, panting.
"You...can't…run off like that..." He told her. "At least...I was with you."
She was panting as well, "Sorry...I was just...happy...you should've...stopped me."
Drew caught his breath and stood up straight. He looked around him. There were trees as far as his eye could see in every direction. He glanced back at May. "Great. We're lost. Nice job, GPS May, you lead us to some forest that we will take days, maybe weeks even, to get out of!"
May stopped panting, and crossed her arms. "Well, I still say it's your fault for not stopping me and just going along. You could have been watching where I was going. But no. You didn't."
"So you're admitting that you were not in control of yourself."
"You're. Fault."
He didn't like to be blamed, so he looked around for a good camp sight. "C'mon." He said, and gestured his hand in the direction he turned in. "Lets look for a camp sight."
May nodded, and followed him through the trees. They eventually found a clear spot, where acorns and pine cones had not fallen as heavily as the other paths. It was a perfect circle, and about as long as May herself. "How about here?" She asked him.
Drew studied the circular patch of grass. "I guess so." He walked over to it, and tapped it with his foot. "Doesn't it seem kinda odd that this patch is a perfect circle? And the fact that there aren't nearly as many leaves and nuts on it as there are around it. As if someone had just cleaned it off a few hours ago..."
"Oh, stop worrying!" May sat down right in the middle of the large circle and set her sleeping bag down, then lay across it. "C'mon! Set up the tent!"
He sighed, and reluctantly put the stakes in the ground around May. He pulled up the tent, and propped it up with the pole. He then crawled inside and rolled out his sleeping bag. "Well...we should remember this spot, but its not close to being dark yet. It's probably around lunchtime. Wanna go get a bite to eat?"
May sat up. "You said it would take days possibly weeks o get out of here!"
"Drew got out of the tent, and She followed. "Eh, I was being dramatic." He sighed, looking around. "But we do have to find our way out of here."
May thought for a moment, then said "that-a-way" and pointed to her right.
"Yes." He agreed. "That's where we came from. Now lets go."
They were nearly out of the forest by time the sun was setting low in the sky.
"Drew. I'm hungry." May whined. "And we'll never get back to the camp sight before dark at this rate!"
He sighed. "I guess we should turn around...I have food in my bag…at the campsite."
May groaned, as they turned to walk back where they came from. "Why didn't we eat that? I never should've suggested this way!"
"You're damn right about that!" Drew snickered. "But you didn't know any better."
