"Hi, Ash!" May smiled as Ash opened the door. Ash let her in, smiling widely.
"Hello, Miss Top Coordinator of Johto!" He said. May twirled happily.
"Isn't it great?" She asked. "It just felt so good to beat Harley and win!" She exclaimed. Ash nodded, leading her into the living room.
"Yeah, I remember when I beat Gary in the Indigo League. It felt good, but we made up afterwards. And now, aside from th occasional Ashy-Boy, he's a pretty nice guy." He said. May suddenly looked worried as she sat down on the couch.
"Should I have tried to make up with him?" She asked. Ash shook his head, laughing.
"Nah, that jerk was asking for it." He said. May smiled.
"Yeah. Seriously, he followed me all throughout Johto, calling me 'gingerbread cookie' and driving me crazy!" She shuddered. "I used to like gingerbread..." She muttered.
"Sounds horrible. What is it with purple hair that makes people so evil?" He asked. "Harley, Paul, Jessie-"
"I thought Jessie had pink hair..." May muttered. Ash shook his head.
"Magenta, not pink." He corrected. May sweatdropped.
"Are they still following you around?" She asked. Ash nodded.
"Yup. They're still after Pikachu, it's insane!" He exclaimed. An insulted gasp erupted from outside of the window, and Pikachu, who pretty much knew the drill by now, went bounding across the room and shocked the trio into the sky. The two ignored the screams as they continued talking.
"Well... That was... I'm sorry, I'm confused." May stuttered. Ash smiled.
"After Kalos, I trained Pikachu to shock them whenver we see them. It got annoying, when they used to do their motto all the time. Seriously, there was this one time, when I was first travelling with Brock and Misty, when we recited the motto for them, with this girl named Duplica. Their faces were priceless!" He laughed. "I had Bulbasaur use his Vine Whip to place a video camera, I think it's around here somewhere..." He stood up and began rummaging through a drawer filled with keepsakes from his journey.
"Hey, look at this!" He pulled out half of a ribbon, and showed it to May. She grinned and pulled the other half out of her pocket. "That was such a fun day. By the way, how's Blaziken?" He asked. May smiled.
"He's back at Petulburg. Max and Grovyle wanted some training with him to help him beat Lavaridge." She said. Ash nodded.
"Cool." He said. May's stomach started to growl, and she blushed. Ash chuckled.
"Mom just got a ton of strawberries from the orchard down the street. Wanna go eat?" He asked. May nodded, smiling.
"Thanks." She said gratefully, following Ash into the kitchen. Ash looked around in the fridge, extracting a giant bin of strawberries. May looked at them hungrily.
"So are you and Drew still... Ya know..."
"Dating? Not anymore. He moved back to Larousse and did the Hoenn circut again, and I wanted to redo Kanto. Long distance sorta isn't his thing." She said sadly. Ash stopped washing the berries and looked into May's eyes.
Brown met blue, and Ash smiled. It proved to be contagious, as a small smile appeared on May's face as well. "You'll find someone else, May. And, who knows, maybe Drew'll even come around?" He said, giving May a small hug. May smiled, blushing.
"Thanks, Ash..." She muttered. She reached into the bowl and took a berry, and stuffed it into her mouth. Ash did the same.
"Mmmmmmm! Mom always picks the sweetest ones!" He said through a mouthful of berries. May laughed.
"Ash, don't talk with your mouth full." She chided jokingly. Ash rolled his eyes.
"Fine, Mom." He said sarcastically. May playfully hit him on the arm, and he cracked a lopsided grin.
The two kept taking strawberries, until only one remained. Both stuck their hand into the bowl, and both tried to take the strawberry. May smiled at Ash.
"Oh, Ash, you've got your hand on my strawberry." She said, tugging gently on the berry. Ash laughed.
"No! That's my berry, May, so it's your hand that needs to move." He said, trying to pry May's hand off of the berry.
"Ash Ketchum, unhand the berry!"
"No!
Pikachu cracked an eye open. Those two had interrupted his sleep. Over a berry. ""Pikaachu..." He muttered, turning on his Iron Tail.
He jumped between the two bickering friends, and cut the strawberry in half. Ash and May just stared, as Pikachu stalked off, muttering about his Pikapi and Pikachupika.
"Why didn't we just cut it in the first place?" May muttered. Ash shrugged.
"Meh." He said, stuffing his berry half into his mouth. May laughed and did the same.

A/N- I hope you like it! Unfortuneately, I don't ship AS, so if I didn't write interactions between the two correctly, then I'm really sorry...
