Bake Me Your Love!
Finally, I'm done with Bake me Your Love. I started this story over a year ago, and now its finally done! This was my first fanfic I wrote, and I must say, it turned out better than I had expected. I wish I could have turned out new chapters faster, but I am lazy and I got a lot of things to do. Summer Vacation is almost over and I have to go back to college:-(. I'm soooo dissappointed. with my vacation. I didnt go anywhere, didnt do anything, didnt see that many of my old friends.
Disclaimer- I don't own Pokemon.
Chapter 12
The Taste of a Kiss
----------
"Rise and shiiiine!" sung May as she got up out of bed. "Ah, what a perfect day, the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and LOVE is in the air." Last night, May stayed up late talking with Brock about his cooking stories and tips. "And now, I get to have breakfast again with Ash!"May showered and got dressed. May met Ash downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning Ash." Greeted May sweetly.
"Good morning May." replied Ash.
May, Ash, Brock, and Max sat down. May was incredibly nervous and blushing bright red. "This just might be it, the last time Ash and I are together as 'just friends.'"
"Hey May, is something wrong?" Questioned Ash.
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"Your blushing bright red, do you have a fever or something?"
"Oh no," thought May. "I can't look like this in front of Ash. I can't let him know that I like him right now."
"Look!" said May, grabbing a box of cereal to hide her face. "Have you ever tried these mazes on the back of cereal boxes?"
"Oh yeah," replied Ash, "I always get lost in those mazes."
"Just like you always get lost in real life?" blurted out a snooty Max.
"Shut up Max, YOU'RE the one with the Pokenav after all." said Ash, Brock, and May at once.
After breakfast, May got ready to go to town. "See you later Ash," said May to herself. "When I get back today, your going to be my boyfriend."
"Now I just need some money to buy supplies with" May opened her coin purse. "Only six dollars, 'sigh'" Then May saw her Spoink bank.
"Forgive me Spoink bank." "Crash!!" May smashed open her Spoink bank and found...
Four quarters, seven dimes, some nickels, pennies, and a Chuck e Cheese token. "Sigh, I only have eight dollars to spend, but it will have to do!"
May went into town and went straight for the grocery store. "Hmm.. There are just so many things to get, but with my trusty cookbook, I can make exactly what I want. The book says I need some flour, vanilla extract, sugar, butter, milk, cream, and strawberries. I think Brock already has most of the basic ingredients, now I have to buy the rest. OK, lets start with the vanilla."
May went over to the sweets aisle "Oh look, imitation and real vanilla extract." The real one was more expensive of course, May reached for the imitation extract when something came to her mind.
"Remember not to skimp on quality." said Harley in May's imagination. "Only use the finest ingredients."
"Right!" said May. "There's nothing 'imitation' about my love, so why should my vanilla be imitation?"
May got the real vanilla extract instead. "Now I have to buy some milk and whipped cream." May went over to the dairy aisle. "Oh look at the Miltank bottles, they are so cute." May remembered what Brock had to say about milk.
"Always check the expiration date, and buy milk in glass bottles."
"OK! I got the milk, now for the whipped cream." May saw canned whipped cream. "No, I can't get that, its too expensive and I can get better whipped cream the real way." May bought real whipping cream instead. May was about to go to the fresh produce aisle when she remembered what Kelly had to say.
"You don't want to get berries from just any old store May, go to a Pokeblock store and they have the freshest berries."
"Thank Kelly! On to the Pokeblock store!"
May bought the vanilla, milk, and cream, and only had two dollars left. "Uh oh, I really need to be careful about what I buy next."
May went to the Pokeblock store. "Wow, they really do have all the best berries, and even some that I've never even heard of." May gazed at all the different berries, there were Cheri berries, Pecha berries, Oran berries, Wiki berries, and so many more. Finally, May saw the strawberries. "Wow, these really are the freshest strawberries I've ever seen, and now I'll use another type of berry to compliment the strawberries."
"Excuse me," said May to the berry lady. "What berry would ft best with strawberries and vanilla?"
"Hmm... well, I'd go with Lapapa berries, the slight sour will contrast the sweetness of strawberries and vanilla."
"OK! Thank you!" May gathered some strawberries and Lapapa berries. "I'd like to buy these please!"
The berry lady totaled up the cost. "That will be four dollars please."
"Uh oh, I don't have enough."
"I only have two dollars," said May.
"Well that's not enough dearie." replied the berry lady.
"But I need these berries to bake a cake for my boyfriend." May put on a sad puppy face. "Pleeeeeaaassssseeee..."
"Oh how can I say no to a face like that?" smiled the berry lady. "For you, only two dollars."
"Oh thank you so much!" said May.
----------
"Now I have everything I need" said May happily while skipping along the sidewalk. Until something caught her eye in a store window. "Oh wow! A heart shaped cake pan! I just must have this"
Then May saw the price tag. "20 bucks!!" May's jaw dropped. She turned her coin purse upside-down and all that fell out were a few coins and a Chuck-e-Cheese token. "Sigh," I guess I'll have to make due with a normal pan."
Just then, May had an idea. "No! I can't give up! I know, I'm a coordinator after all, so today I'll be a..."
"Street Performer!!"
"OK! Come on out! Beautifly! Set the stage with silver wind!"
"Beautifly!" Beautifly spun around in a tornado, sending leaves into the air.
"What's going on? I think it's a performance." Said passers by, wondering what was going on.
"Alright!" said May, dropping a box on the floor.
"Wow, that girls good,." admired some watchers, throwing change into the box."
"OK! Combuskin! Come on out!"
"Combuskin!"
May threw up a newspaper, "Fury swipes! Then ember!"
Combuskin ripped up the newspaper into shreds and then burned it, sending tiny specks of fire flittering to the ground.
"Yayyy!!!" cheered the audience.
"And now for my Bulbasaur! Come on out!"
"Bulba!"
"Vine whip!"
Bulbasaur did a spinning vine whip. "Ok, lets see if I still remember this." Thought May. "Vine whip jump rope!" May hopped over and under Bulbasaur's two vines in a frantic Double Dutch jump-rope. "Haha! Yes! I got it!"
"Woowww," the audience was amazed, and more change piled into the box.
"And now for my final trick! Munchlax! Come on out!"
"Munch!"
Munchlax saw a cake in a window. "Munch!" Munchlax ran right to the window and... "Splat!" ran right into the glass window. "Sigh.. Return Munchlax."
"Hahaha!" Everyone was having a good time watching May's performance. May looked down at the box. "Wow, its so full. Now I have enough money!"
"Thank you everyone for watching my show, have a nice day!" Sung May as she walked into the store. "I'll take this cake pan, please." Said May as she paid with her box of change.
"Ahh, now that I have a big bag full of ingredients, a book full of recipes, and the perfect pan, all that's left to do is bake this cake and give it to Ash."
----------
Meanwhile, rustling in some bushes were a familiar trio watching May.
So, that twerp wants to cook for Ash." said James.
"Oh its so romantic, it reminds me of a manga I once read." admired Jesse.
"But I 'tout 'dat Brock was da only one who could cook." said Meowth.
"Yeah, I remember that time when we stole Brock's food, it was delicious." dreamed James.
"Smack!" Jesse whipped James and Meowth with her hair. "Hmph, men, they only think with their stomachs and not their hearts. May is obviously trying to go steady with Ash, oh I saw it all along." Giggled Jesse.
"Wob-a-fett!"
Meowth had an idea."Hold it, I've got a great idea!"
"What is it this time?" Questioned James.
"We confront 'dat May girl as cooking instructors."
"Uh huh," wondered Jesse.
"And den we tells her ta' put loads of butter and sugar into Ash's food!"
"What good would that do?" Questioned James.
"Hold on I'm gettin' there! So when Ash eats May's food, he'll eat so much that he'll become fat." "Oh! Why did I eat so much." impersonated Meowth. "And den we nab dat Pikachu!"
Jesse and James both stared at Meowth...
"Nahhh."
"Wobb-a-fett!"
----------
Back at the hotel. May unpacked her ingredients. "This will be the best cake ever!" She skillfully made the batter and dripped some pink food coloring in. "Pink is the color of love after all." Then she mixed in the strawberries, Lapapa berries, and vanilla into a rich, sweet fruit filling. "Mmm, it tastes so sweet." May poured the cake batter into the heart shaped pan. "Ah a heart, an absolutely perfect symbol of my undying love."
Then May made the whipped cream with some help. "Bulbasaur! vine whip mixer!" "Haha, now it rellly IS whipped cream!"
After baking the cake in the oven, May poured in the fruit filling and decorated the cake with whipped cream. "Oh its perfect! It looks even better than the cake in 'Hiromi's Wish.' I know what! I'll show it to Kelly and Harley on the video phone."
May turned on the video phone and showed off her cake to Kelly. "Wow, it looks so nummy!" said Kelly.
"Yeah, thanks for helping me pick out the perfect berries."
"No problem May! Good luck with Ashy-boy, and don't forget to use a con-"
"Kelly!"
"Haha, just kidding! See you later May!"
"Now for Harley."
"Oh hiiii May." said Harley.
"Hi Harley, look what I made."
"Oh good job, May." said Harley. "I just know you two can hook up. Good luck, May."
"Bye Harley, thanks a bunch!"
May was so happy, finally her dream of having Ash as her boyfriend would become reality. May skipped along, holding her cake, but little did she know, that joy could turn into sorrow in a matter of seconds. Suddenly, May tripped. Her cake, her determination, and her hope for Ash slowly fell to the floor...
"Splat." May was in shock, her heart was broken, literally and metaphorically.
"Oh no... this isn't happening." Trembled May. May began to cry, her tears mixing in with the cream. "I knew it all along, I knew I could never get Ash to like me, he deserves someone better than me. Why do things like this keep happening to me?"
"I've failed you, Kelly, Harley, Brock, and Hiromi. I'm never going to be happy!"
Just then, one of May's Pokeballs opened. "Munchlax!"
"Go ahead Munchlax, its all ruined, you can have it."
"Munch, munch," Munchlax shook its head.
"What? You mean I still have a chance?"
"Munch!"
May dried off her tears, stood up, and picked up her cake. "Thanks Munchlax. Its not over yet."
May put her cake in a box and knocked on Ash's door.
"Huh? May, what's wrong? Your eyes are all red."
"Here Ash," May handed Ash the box. "Open it."
"Uh OK." Ash opened the box, inside was a broken cake with the words "From May" written in frosting. Ash smiled.
"I'm sorry, you don't have to eat something so disgusting." Whimpered May, looking at the floor. But when she looked up she saw...
"Mmm, this cake is excellent." Said Ash with a fork in his mouth.
"But... just look at it, Ash." Replied May.
"May, its not how it looks or even how it tastes, it's the fact that you tried your very hardest for me which makes this cake so special."
May was blushing bright red. "Oh I'm so happy you like it Ash."
"Its things like this that make you such a great friend May."
May was a bit disappointed. "Ash, did you even think, why I poured my heart and soul into this particular cake?"
"Huh, well May, I don't know what to say."
May stared at Ash's face. "Ash, you've got some cream on your face, let me get it for you." May moved close to Ash's face and wiped the cream of his face with her thumb. Finally, May was face-to-face with Ash.
"Oh."Ash stared at May, looking a little embarrassed, and wondering why she was so close to him.
May gazed deep into Ash's brown eyes, and whispered "Ash, close your eyes."
Ash closed his eyes and May stared at his face. This was it, this was the moment that May had hoped for for months. May's lips slowly approached Ash's lips, his sweet breath tingled in the air.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Thought May. But May quickly changed from thinking with her mind to thinking with her heart. She lost all control of her senses and closed her eyes.
Only to wake up with a passionate kiss. The kiss. The kiss May had waited forever for. It was just like she had imagined, only better. Ash's lips were so warm and sweet, it was a taste May couldn't even describe. Finally, the kiss came to an end.
"Y..you kissed me." said Ash while blushing, still in disbelief.
"Oh yes my dear." Said May. "I was afraid to tell you with my lips, so I baked you my love instead. I love you Ash!"
Ash was surprised, he never even kissed a girl, let alone had a girl confess her love, but that all left Ash's mind when he realized how important May was to him. "I love you too, May."
May was in tears of happiness. "Thank you Ash, I'm so happy that you can feel what's in my heart."
The two trainers and lovers spent the rest of the night cuddling, feeding each other cake, and reading "Hiromi's Wish." A story which was now a reality for May and Ash.
THE END
So there it was, the last chapter of my first fanfic! Did you like it? I certainly hope so. Its the perfect ending to end an Advanceshipping story. Thanks so much to everyone who read and reviewed my story, I wouldn't be writing fanfics after all if it weren't for you. I wonder what my next fanfic will be about. I don't even know what series to base it upon, maybe another Pokemon story. I already made two Pokemon stories, this one and "Misty's Christmas Wish." I just don't see myself writing an AshxDawn fanfic though, as Dawn just seems too immature and too much like Minnie Mouse right now. I really like pairing Ash with Anabel. They are just so cute together, and Anabel actually shows real feelings for him in the anime. I STILL don't have a girlfriend, poor, poor me. Thanks again for reading and reviewing my fanfics. I have no clue what I'll make my next story about, but I can guarantee it will be good. (If I ever write another.) See you next story!!
