The four finally left the beach after much arguments and whines; most of them form May since she really didn't want to leave. They packed up and headed back to the Pokemon center talking about really random stuff on the way but soon those random subject led to contests and that led to the up coming one. Drew was still uptight about how they still needed to practice and was rambling on and on for nothing. May had an irritated look on her face as she walked next to Drew listening to him talk and talk and talk on and on and on. When they finally arrived at the Pokemon Center they spotted Jade crouching down in front of her Umbreon feeding it Poke-block. The weirdest thing, though, was that she was smiling, quiet brightly to add to that.
Drew frowned when he saw his sister smiling, 'She was crying earlier and now she's smiling, even laughing? She's harder to figure out then my feelings for May! … did I just think that?' he thought to himself. He blushed slightly at his thoughts and May noticed this.
"Drew? You okay?" May asked waving a hand in front of his face.
"Oh cool is May. He's probably just thinking about you in a bikini or something," Harley said and then giggled teasingly.
"Stop teasing them Harley," Solidad said laughing lightly despite herself.
May's face resembled a tomato and Drew's face had a deep pink tinge to it.
"Shut it Harley," Drew muttered and then flicked his hair regaining his usual mood, "Any ways, she probably wouldn't even look that good," he added smirking. 'Actually she would' he thought privately to himself.
"What?" May screamed her face becoming red with anger, "Well excuse me! TO tell you the truth you don't look so great in swimming trunks either!" she lied glaring at the green haired coordinator.
Drew smirked and flicked his hair again, "Yeah right, you're lying. I can tell, May," he said smirking at the steaming brown haired girl.
May screamed out of pure anger and frustration, "You're such a heartless, cold, mean, idiot!" she exploded flailing her arms.
Drew's smirk faded and his eyes filled with something that looked like sadness as he jammed his hands into his pockets, "Well then, um… yeah," he muttered and then turned walking away staring at the ground in a very uncharacteristic way.
Jade had watched the whole thing and stood walking over to the three remaining trainers Umbreon trotting by her obediently.
"May what was that for? You really hurt him," Solidad scolded frowning at the younger girl.
"I have to say, I sort of feel bad for grass head," Harley added getting a thoughtful look on his face.
May's anger faded quickly and she groaned face palming, "Why am I such an idiot? I better go apologize," she said.
"Yeah, and quickly," Jade said from behind May.
May let out a little squeak and spun around a look of panic on her face, "How long have you been there?" she exclaimed.
"For a while," Jade said simply, "Now go apologize to my bro, he's probably in the rose gardens," she added giving May a stern look.
May, who was slightly intimidated by the look Drew's little sister was giving her nodded and stepped past Jade with a little caution and then took off running as quickly as she could.
She couldn't believe how mean she was to Drew! How could she have been so cruel? She felt so guilty that she said those things, 'I have to find him,' she thought and then basically flew into the rose gardens and skidded to a stop looking frantically around for Drew, which really wasn't hard seeing as he had green hair. She sprinted over to him as quickly as she possibly could and found him sitting on a beautifully carved stone bench that was set in front of a huge expanse of red roses. She slowed down a little and walked over to him slowly sitting next to him gently.
Drew seemed to be staring far off into space and May cleared her throat to bring him back to earth. Drew turned his head to May and then scowled deeply his eyes showing hurt, "What do you want?" he asked glaring slightly.
"I-I'm sorry Drew. I didn't mean any of what I said, I was just angry," May muttered staring at her feet in shame.
"Yeah? Well I guess I'm sorry too, for everything I said to you," Drew said and shrugged his shoulders looking over at May.
May looked at him also and uttered his name softly, leaning closer to him. Drew leaned closer also. They came closer and closer to each other and their lips almost touched…
"May! Drew! Where are you?" Harley called in a sing song voice.
May squeaked pulling away quickly her face beat red as she fell over form the sudden shock, 'Did I just almost kiss Drew?' she screamed in her head.
Drew pulled away quickly blushing deeply just attempted to stay calm, 'I didn't just almost kiss May, did I?'
"Oh there you guys are. May are you alright?" Solidad asked cocking an eyebrow at May, who was sprawled out on the ground.
May stood up quickly brushing herself off coughing slightly, "Yeah, I'm fine," she said laughing slightly nervously scratching the back of her head, still blushing.
Drew stood up frowning brushing his own clothing off, "I'm going back to my room," he said plainly and then walked away.
"Ohhh, what happened?" Harley asked looking from Drew's retreating back to May's blushing face.
May blushed even more when she remembered what had happened and then coughed again, "N-nothing Harley, really," she said in a panicky way and then let out a fake yawn, "Well, I'm off to bed too! See you guy tomorrow!" she shouted and then sprinted off.
Solidad and Harley stared after May, "Well, that didn't give us any answers," Solidad said sighing running her fingers through her hair.
"Oh well!" Harley said brightly and then grabbed Solidad's hand, "Let's go!" he shouted and pulled her away.
Solidad tired to fight off a blush when Harley grabbed her hand and basically dragged her away.
May sighed when she finally reach the floor her room was on and then bent of panting again, 'once again I over ran myself,' she thought to herself. She sighed and shrugged it off and walked down the hall down to her room.
All of a sudden and rose was stuffed into her face and she stepped backwards in surprise. She grabbed it delicately and looked levelly at Drew, "Another rose?" she asked cocking an eyebrow.
"It's just for saying you were sorry, don't think you're special," Drew said and flicked his hair turning walking away, "See you tomorrow," she called over his shoulder.
May stood there for a moment with the rose in her hand. She inhaled deeply and then disappeared into her room and fell on top of her bed drifting off to sleep slowly.
The nest day was intense training for Drew and May. Drew kept yelling at May to stop messing up everything and May had lost her temper so much that she probably ran into five trees. They finally came out of the forest for lunch and May had bruises everywhere while Drew looked remotely unscarred. The two walked into a small café and found Harley and Solidad sitting together talking. They ordered something and walked over to the two others sitting down.
Solidad switched her gaze to May and gaped, "What happened?" she asked cocking an eyebrow.
"I ran into some tree," May groaned and laid her head on her table sighing.
"Some? More like twenty," Drew sneered and laughed.
"Shut up Drew," May said her voice slightly muffled.
Drew laughed flicking his hair causing some girls at a near by table to sigh getting a dreamy look.
May lifted her head and glared at them menacingly growling slightly.
"Not jealous are you May?" Drew teased smirking at the girl.
"Why would I be jealous of them?" May screamed, "I'm out of here," she added and then grabbed her coffee and muffin that had just arrived at the table and stormed out angrily.
Drew smirked and sipped at his drink slowly ignoring the glances he got from Harley and Solidad.
