Dawn really hoped so. She went and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Well May. To start, I find you really beautiful" Dawn wasn't looking at May.
"Oh" May started turning red. She wasn't expecting this and didn't know what to say.
"And really attractive. To be honest, I haven't been able to take my eyes off of you since you've arrived."
"Ash." the Hoenn coordinator tried to begin.
"However, I don't want to be attracted to you, like this."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't feel like it's right, in this current situation," She said almost to herself. "To be attracted to you."
"As long as your being honest." May also looked away from Dawn. "During the events with the temple of the sea...I kinda had a crush on you."
"You had a crush on As-Me?"
May started to push her fingers together, "Well...yeah. But I feel the same way now though. About not wanting...to be attracted, to you. And well, I don't know, but maybe if we went out on a date, just one, we could put all these feelings behind us."
Dawn then turned red. She was being asked out by a women, and she wasn't sure if she likes it or not. However maybe she was right, so right she didn't even know how right she was. If after a date with May made her think straight again... She was willing to find out.
"Sure May, how about tomorrow."
"Okay, see you then."
Dawn got up and exited May's room. She made her way to the her room, there Brock and Ash were sitting and talking.
"Hey Ash whats up?" Ash asked.
"Well, I think I have a date with May tomorrow."
There was a silence broken by Brock.
"Well it took you long enough for you to get a girl."
Ash was wide-eyed. He really wasn't sure how to react.
"Ash can we talk outside." He and Dawn went outside the door. Leaving Brock, once again, out of the loop.
"What are you doing Dawn?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well actually I'm a little confused about your situation. Are you a lesbian for dating May, or because your in my body your actually being straight."
"I actually don't know myself, I'm hoping everything will be clear after tomorrow though"
"I don't think that makes this okay Dawn. And another thing, what happens if you get into a relationship with her, and then we switch bodies. I really don't have the same feelings for May that you do."
"Shut up! And forget about that. She said she had a crush on you since the temple of the sea, whatever that is, and we are to put aside these feelings after the date."
"I suppose. Just do me a favor."
"What is it?"
"Don't make her hate me. I still like May, as a friend though."
"Well then who do you like?"
Ash thought this one over, "Actually, I really don't like anyone, with my constant training, I never really had time so..."
"Well then what kind of women do you like?"
"I don't know, how do like yours?"
Dawn put on an angry face. They both went inside to sleep, Dawn was going to have a big day tomorrow.
"Ash", Dawn heard Ash's name being called, but it seemed the voice was so far away, and yet so close. "Ash, wake up. Ash." Dawn, opened her eyes, she saw May over her. It shocked her to see May out of nowhere.
"Ah! What are you doing here so early?"
"Early? It's noon already, you overslept."
"Overslept! I never oversleep!"
May laughed, "Oh Ash, your such a kidder, everyone else is up and you still need to get dressed. See you downstairs." May left and slammed the door to make sure the noise really woke up Dawn.
Dawn got dressed in Ash's clothes and made her way down, wondering what today was going to be like, she was a bit worried.
"Hey there Ash." Ash called out. He was there talking with Brock when he saw her. "So you ready for your date?"
"I guess, but can any of you give me advice?"
Ash was silent, however this was Brock's time to shine. "Well first you should start by being very complementary, be interesting and exiting, and always be positive. That should be enough for you right now."
May came into the room, "Oh there you are Ashy!" Ash cringed at the name, even though it wasn't directed at him, sort of. "Let's go!" May was dragging Dawn away by her arm.
"Where to first?" asked Dawn.
"How about the mall? I have yet to do any shopping since I have arrived here. You don't mind do you?"
"Of course I don't. I love the mall." May looked at Ash funny, since when did he enjoy going to the mall.
At the mall. Dawn and May went to all the different shops, and Dawn now had to suffer what Ash would normally when he went shopping with her, having to carry all the bags. Dawn made a promise with herself that she would give Ash a break next time.
"Oh Ashy, what do you think about this top."
"I think that will look cute on you. Oh, and wear this with the top, it will suit you." Dawn handed her more and more clothes.
While May was changing she definitely knew that Ash was acting very different from the last time she had seen him. When did he get good fashion sense, and had a good eye for finding good clothes. Oh he was right though, She loved it. But not now.
Afterwards they went to go see a movie. May wanted to see a scary movie. For one reason only though, so that she can cuddle up to Ash. But during the movie when the scary scenes happened, it was Dawn that tried to protect herself with May. May sweat dropped and couldn't focus on the movie at all and only on Ash.
"Okay here is our hotel room. I had fun, what about you?" Dawn said.
"It was great." She seemed a little nervous, what was to be nervous about? Oh no, they were at the door at the end of the date.
"Uh yeah, well, I wi-"
"Hold on." May interrupted her.
"Yes?" Dawn was now feeling very nervous.
"Something is different about you Ash Ketchum." May pinned Dawn to the door. "All day you have acted really strange, and unlike you."
"You don't like it?" Dawn wasn't even sure what she was saying.
"Excuse me?"
"I tried to change for you May", Dawn was not sure where this was coming from but she went along with it, why not.
"Really?" Her tone changed, "Oh Ash, you didn't have to change for me. But it was still very sweet of you." She leaned in, and before Dawn knew what was happening, she was kissing May. Dawn struggled and accidentally grasped the doorknob, turned it and both May and Dawn fell through the door.
"Hey how did it go?" Brock asked as Dawn and May entered the room.
Dawn got up quickly from under May. "Well I'm gonna get myself cleaned up, see you guys in a few." Dawn grabbed her stuff and went off.
May sighed. "What's up May? Didn't you like your date with Ash?"
"I did, I had fun. But something bothering me all day."
"What is it?"
"Guys. Do you think Ash turned gay?"
Ash at that moment decided to drink some water, just to have to spit it back out and start coughing in the background.
"Well, I noticed some peculiar behavior lately, but I wouldn't say he turned gay. What makes you say that?" Brock ignored Ash.
"Well, when we went to the mall, he was very supportive, didn't complain or whine, and actually helped me shop."
"You sure you went on a date with Ash?"
"That's what I want to know. And at the movie theater, during a scary scene, he was more scared than I was, he tried to hide behind me. I'm just very confused. I don't remember Ash to be anything like that."
Ash finally recovered. "I think that maybe..." Ash was trying to think up an excuse to save his reputation. "...That um..."
"Actually Dawn, I wouldn't have been surprised if I actually went on the date with you." She laughed at her own joke, Ash laughed too but nervously. "Maybe you need to stop hanging around him so much, you seem to be turning him into a girl." His nervous laugh came out again.
Dawn was in the shower thinking over the surprise kiss with May, and she was happy. She was happy because she didn't feel anything. And if she did feel anything it would be, dislike. She was straight.
May spent the rest of the weekend with Ash, Dawn, and Brock. True to their words, May told Dawn she was over Ash. May was leaving the first thing in the morning Monday.
"It was fun seeing you again May, take care of yourself, and good luck with all your future contests." Brock gave May a hug bye.
"It is a shame your visit was so short, I hoped you would have been able to stay longer." Ash also gave May a hug bye.
"Well, your visit was interesting, to say the least." Dawn looked kinda embarrassed.
"The least alright." May then went up and shocked everyone, by kissing a surprised Dawn bye. "I will see youguys later." May ran and boarded the ship.
"I thought you said you didn't kiss her!" Ash blurted out.
Dawn was just speechless, she didn't like the kiss, it made her feel awkward and wished it never happened, but she could only feel the hormones help her metapod use harden.
This chapter turned to sapphirepearlshipping/advancedshipping at the exact same time. Who else could do that. But it was unintentional. I thought the idea was awesome. But I couldn't do this idea for Ash though. For one, the idea was done in the past two chapters and I would be beating the bush too many times. Two, because Lesbianism is socially more acceptable than two men. Three... I just don't want to do it. People have said that I should do ikarishipping but I hate ikarishipping. (I kept this unedited because I like the joke, no matter how harsh it is) Honestly, I find that ship the most unlikely to ever happen. Not that I hate Paul its just...Just because their personalities are opposite, doesn't mean they belong together. Imagine if they got together, one day Paul will be like "lol let me train your pokemans" She will "ok", hours later when she comes back she will be like "OMGWTFBBQ what happens to my pokemans" and Paul will be like "Oh they were weak and I released them" and dawns crying like "why would you do that" and Paul's reply will be "cause I'm a jackass hurr durr." honestly.
Anyways, I have nothing against ikarishippers, I don't really bash the different ships except I just... Can't see paul and Dawn together. I don't hate paul individually but with Dawn... I don't really know. and I respect anyone who writes about it, I absolutely don't bash peoples fics. I sometimes check them out just to see whats going on with them although I can't read through most of them, once again sorry, please don't mind what I'm trying to say because, I , I am being honest. But really I don't ever see that ship ever coming true. Could be that I'm a pearlshipper, but even I don't hate penguinshipping. But anywyas back to the fic. This chapter was one of those that wrote itself. I love all the double entondre and dramatic irony jokes I did in this one. I love those kind of jokes. I find them really humorous. But anyways later.
