Chapter five:
Three days later
"Hey Ashy." Gary greets Ash as he runs into the younger in the city that Drew's home is.
Ash hugs Gary with a sad face. "G-Gary!" He whines.
Gary blinks and hugs him back. "Whats wrong Ash?" He asks concerned.
"May my friend died." He tells Gary.
Gary hugs Ash close and moves one hand to the raven colored hair petting it trying to comfort the younger. "It'll be okay." He mummers comfortingly and Ash feels better with Gary. Gary really is Ash's medicine for these kind of times.
No one had heard from Drew since the funeral and that also worried Ash.
"Gary?" He lifts his head from its resting place on the brunettes shoulder.
"Yeah?" Gary responds.
"Will you come with me to Drews house? No ones heard from him at all and no one has even seen him leave the house. Its worrying people and I was going to check on him. He really loved May." Ash explains.
"Of course I'll come." Gary agrees and with a thank you Ash takes the lead to Drews house.
Ash knocks on the door. "Drew!" He calls.
Drew walks out of the bathroom not looking back and walks to another person inside his home.
The one person turns to him, its May and she is in her normal clothes but with a halo and angel wings. "I've been waiting and watching you Drew."
He goes right over to her and wraps his arms around her waist. "Well you're not going to be waiting anymore." He says leaning in and giving her a kiss on her lips.
May kisses back. "You're the best man in the world Drew." She tells him.
Drew breaks the kiss and smiles at May. "You got your first kiss on earth." He smiles. "And so did I."
May smiles too and snuggles as close as she can to Drew. "Thank you."
Ash and Gary manage to force the door open and they begin looking for Drew, having to separate. Ash went upstairs and Gary stayed on the main floor.
Pikachu and Umbreon both go on their own exploration for Drew finding the door to downstairs only to go into the basement.
"Drew!" Gary calls looking in every room for any signs of another boy in the home.
Ash suddenly screams and Gary bolts upstairs.
He reaches the top of the stairs and sees hears a 'thump.' In a room so he runs to it. "Ash!" He bursts into the room.
Ash seems to have fallen on his butt on the floor of the bedroom and hes staring in horror at the connected bathroom.
Gary goes right to Ashs side and crouches next to him. He looks into the bathroom and his eyes widen. He pulls Ash quickly into a hug shielding Ash from looking at whats there any longer, knowing that by now there's no chance to do anything else about it.
"Lets go see Arceus then I can show you around." May says.
Drew nods and they both go downstairs and out the door not even noticing the four living creatures in the house.
May leads Drew to the clearing from before and there is Arceus.
"I had a feeling you'd come." It said looking at the two. "I can tell you are ready to go." It gets up since it was laying on the ground, walks over and lowers it head till it gently touched the top of Drews head.
Drew disappeared and May gives a smile to Arceus before she vanishes on her own. Drew looks to May as she appears at his side.
"Welcome to Heaven Drew." She says leading him through the golden gate.
Gary refused to leave Ash even when doctors and officer Jenny arrived, he called them telling them what happened.
Ash stayed close to Gary at all times but knew he may never be able to get the image of what he saw.
Drews body laying on the floor of the bathroom with a picture in one hand and the other hand off to the side by an empty pill bottle.
Gary brought Ash to where he's currently researching and living as soon as he could.
Ash didn't even say he wanted to go elsewhere or anything and agreed to stay with Gary for the rest of their lives.
Gary did take Ash traveling so Ash could still get badges and train but he only did that as soon as Ash was mentally well enough to do so.
The end.
