Hey, I'm back and I finally updated my story, sorry for the long awaited update.
So here it is, enjoy.

"Fine, we'll tell you then, right May." Sanderson replied; broadly.
Sanderson sighed and explained his and May's plans (but mostly it's Sanderson's plan/idea)
"I told May to bring you to my father's studio for the play, which is "Their Forbidden Romance", and I wanted it to be a surprise for your friends, Brock and Max, to see you in the play performing. But you just wanted to ruin everything." Sanderson stared at Ash coldly.
"Sorry…" Ash felt ashamed of himself.
"Forget it, but well you come to my father's studio?" Sanderson asked.
"Hmm…sure, but what role am I going to do?"
"You will know as soon as we get there." Sanderson replied slyly.
Ash felt a bit of regret as to the replied Sanderson gave him. Ash looked at all of his friends, who were looking at with a confused expression on their faces, except for May, she was completely excited and was about to explode from excitement. But she hid her emotions from her friends and brother. She felt the serge of happiness running through her body, she wanted to hug Ash tightly and give kisses all over his face. But that would completely be awkward for her, as to the fact that her little brother was with them.
Moments later, Ash, May and Sanderson were on their way to Mr. Valentine's studio.
"So Sanderson, mind telling us why Brock and Max can't come, I mean, they already know that we're going to be there." Ash asked out of the blue.
"Man, you really are dense, they're not coming because it would ruin the play for them, and in other words, if they come they'll know how the play would turn out." He pointed out.
"Oh. Bye the way, what's your father's name and what kind of play is it?" May asked anxiously at the annoyed Sanderson.
"And Sanderson, are you going to be in the play?" Ash added.
"I'm sure he's going to be in it Ash, after, it's his father's play. Am I right, Sanderson?"
"Gee, if there is something I've notice about you two it's that you both like to ask lots of questions, why don't you guys just cool it and wait until we reach the studio." Sanderson remained calm trying not to yell at them.
"Hey, is that it?" Ash asked obviously not remembering what he said just a moment ago.
"Look, I try to remain calm but…YOU'RE DRIVING ME INSANE!!!" Sanderson yell at Ash making him fall back.
Sanderson turned around and notice that Ash's question was just a mere reference to the fifty foot building standing only few feet away from it. Sanderson felt stupid about yelling at him and apologized.
"Sorry Ash, I'm just really ticked off about you guys asking too many questions." Sanderson apologized sincerely.
"It's okay; I would feel the same way if someone was asking me so many questions."
"Hey guys, now that we're here why don't we just go inside." May interrupted Ash and Sanderson's conversation.
Both Ash and Sanderson nodded.
They all walked inside the building, Ash and May looked around as they followed Sanderson through the huge building. It was like any other regular building, most of the floors were made with teals and the walls were painted white. It a few pictures of random thing from trees, houses, space, to doodles, scrap art, et cetera.
(Wow, I thought that we were going to a small theater, but this is just amazing.) May thought to herself.
"Come on, let's take the elevator." Sanderson suggested pointing at the near by elevator.
The group of three entered the elevator, Sanderson pressed the seventeenth button and wait for the elevator to arrive at the selected destination. Once it reached its intended level, they got off and walked to the theater room, it was a common theater room, and it had the wooden stage floors, red colored seats and big red curtains. Although it was awfully huge for a theater room inside a building, both Ash and May stared in awe.
"Do you guys like it?" Sanderson asked them.
"Yeah, but I never thought that it would be this big." May replied. Ash just nodded.
"That's great; just let me call my dad." Sanderson inhaled vast amount of air. "DAD, I BROUGHT THE NEW ACTORS, COME OUT!" Sanderson shouted; his voice echoed through the theater.
Ash and May covered their ears from the painful and eerie sound of Sanderson's sudden yell. The painful yell left both Ash and May temporally death. Sanderson inhaled a second amount air and was preparing another call to his father again. But stop when he heard his father's voice echo through the theater.
"Hold on I'm coming!" The sound of the voice was faintly heard.
"Come guys; let's go to the stage floor."
They followed Sanderson to the stage and waited for his father to appear; Sanderson sat on the edge of the stage and stared aimlessly at the floor swinging his legs carelessly. May watched his actions, she was curious about this boy, at times he can be dead serious, sometimes a normal person and even unusual. May thought that he was just experiencing sudden mood swings or other things that would happen to people which would make them act random at any given time. But there was something else about Sanderson that got May's attention, she stared at him without self conscious and failed to notice Ash waving his hand in front of her.
"Earth to May, can you hear me?" Ash stood in front of her waving his hands.
"Hmm? Oh, sorry Ash, I guess I was spacing off." May scratched the back of her head.
"You got that right." Ash turned around and saw Sanderson staring at the floor. "Hey May, what's up with Sanderson, he looks a bit down." He whispered at May.
"I don't know, he was completely happy just a moment ago and now he looks like he's going to cry or something." May replied; a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Why don't we ask him ourselves?" He asked with his famous trade mark smile.
"I don't know if we should, maybe we should let him be."
"And pass out on an opportunity to get to know him better, not a chance." Ash whispered to May.
Sanderson heard silent whispers behind him; he jerked his head and glanced at Ash and May. He smiled slyly to himself and stood up. He walked to the two best friends and gave them a cheerful smile. Ash and May gave him an awkward look; they shook it off and continued to talk.
"So what were you guys talking about?" He asked with a knowing look.
"We're talking about the play, and I think it's a great experience for me as a coordinator." May lied; but with a bit of truth.
"That is great to hear and what about you Ash?" Sanderson turned his attention to Ash. "You haven't said anything about the play. If you aren't interested you could leave, I'm not forcing you to do anything." He implied rather coldly.
"W-what are talking about, Sanderson? Of course I'm interested, otherwise I wouldn't be here." Ash replied with slightly annoyed.
"If that is true, then why are you interested?" Sanderson emphasized the word why.
"Because…because…" Ash started to ponder why he participated in this role. "I don't know, maybe because…" Ash started to starch the back of his head; looking at the roof.
"You do not know, don't you?" Sanderson started to chuckle slightly. "Figures, someone like you can't figure out their own feelings, and it's times like these that you need help the most."
"Hold on, you don't know why you're even here?" May asked annoyed with the trainer's words. "Ash, if don't know why you came here, then why would you come?" May already had tearful eyes.
That stare stabbed his heart, feeling guilty about upsetting his burnet friend, he started to worry. Ash kept on thinking of an excuse to comfort his friend, but in overall he failed. He himself started to wonder why he decided to attend this special activity with his friend. But that's when it hit his head, he thought that he was doing this only for May, did he have feeling for her or was just his imagination. Ash decided to shake those thoughts off.
Ash once again looked at May, she had a sad tearful face, Ash started to panic. He didn't want to make his friend cry, let alone because it was his fault. Sanderson kept a smile on his face, and gradually changing it into a sly smile.
Sanderson knew that Ash had feelings for May, but his intentions were never to get them together, but to make him figure out his own feelings for May and let everything go the way it's suppose to go. That was his original plan, but things might not go as expected for Sanderson.
"Ash, do you plan on replying May's question?" Sanderson stared at him.
"Yeah, but..." Ash couldn't find words to answer May's question. But to his luck, Sanderson's father had just appeared in the nick of time.
"So Sanderson, who are the new actors?" This man had short black hair, a director's cap, blue and white vertical stripe polo shirt and black jeans. He looked like he was in his mid-thirties and about five foot eleven.
"Here they are dad, meet Ash and May, your new actors and your hope for this play." He said with a small laugh.
"Be quiet Sanderson, I'm not that desperate and besides we can always find other actors that are actually experienced."
"What does that mean, we're good actors!" May stepped in; interrupting the director.
"Cool it May, we don't want the director to hate us." Ash held her back, before she can hurt the director.
"Oh…we got a feisty one here, this is good and her boyfriend is perfect for the role of the lead male." Mr. Valentine grinned widely.
Blood rushed quickly to Ash's head, and May's face was crimson red. "He's not my boyfriend!"
"Oh! If that is true, then why is he holding your hand, young lady?"
May felt Ash's hand holding hers, Ash immediately let go of her hand still blushing.
"Now I see, you two are just friends." He implied sarcastically.
"Dad, stop teasing the actors, or else we're going to end up with none at all." Sanderson stop his dad from driving away the actors.
"I guess you're right, well let's give these two their scripts and start practicing our lines." Mr. Valentine walked behind the giant red curtains and disappeared.
Ash and May watched as the director vanished behind the red fabric. As soon as he was gone they turned their attention to Sanderson with a look of confusion. Sanderson just smiled sheepishly and explained why his father is like that.

Sorry for the short chapter, I'll post the next ASAP!
Also, during my absence I have taken the liberty of studying English, especially for grammar, I think it's the most important thing I should learn about English. Mostly because I don't have any program that features auto-word correction and helps me with my grammar skills.
If any one knows of a program (free or not) that can help me with my English skills, I would be thankful for your assistance. I don't accept the one fanfiction is offering, it doesn't suit me. BTW: Make sure the program is under 199$, that's all I got. DX
Thank you for reading, please drop a review.
