G is for Gingerbread

May's mother, Caroline was having a Christmas party. She had told Max and May to invite their friends so she could meet them. May invited, Ash, Misty, Brock, Dawn, Paul, Drew, Harley, and Solidad. Max had invited some other people too. Everyone was sitting around a fireplace drinking tea and hot chocolate. Harley decided to ask, "May, where is your boy-toy?"

Causing May's father to ask, "boy? who is he?"

"I have no clue who Harley's talking about... who are you talking about?" she asked Harley.

"Well Drewsy of course!" he stated. May rolled her eyes, but a light blush covered her cheeks.

"He's not a 'boy toy'." she said, using air quotes around boy toy. The doorbell rang.

Max jumped up,"I'll get it!" he grinned and ran out of the room. When he came back Drew was following him.

"Hey." Drew said and flicked his hair, leaning against the threshold.

"Well hello! I'm Caroline, May and Max's mom, and this is their father, Norman!" Caroline said, dragging Drew into the room and pushing him next to May and onto the couch. Drew looked at May silently asking what was wrong with her mom and May shrugged. A ding went off in the kitchen and Caroline ran off to get it.

"What took you so long to get here?" Solidad asked.

Drew smirked, "Nothing." Solidad looked at him weird. Just then Caroline came back into the room with 2 plates piled high with gingerbread cookies. Ash and May's faces brightened as they dug in. Everyone stared at them shocked. May stopped first, while Ash just continued.

"Think you ate enough?" Drew asked. May nodded happily. The others had only had a few, leaving the rest for Ash to eat. "I wonder how you don't get fat." Drew said.

May turned to him, "What?!" she yelled.

Drew smirked, "I said, it's a mystery how you aren't fat with all you eat. Having difficulties comprehending?" he asked.

May turned red with anger. "You big, mean---" She was shut up when a crimson rose was pushed under her nose.

She was quiet, but grumbled, "That won't work every time..." than she said louder, "Where do you get all these roses!?" she asked.

Drew smirked, "Curisoity killed the Skitty May. " he said. May rolled her eyes.

"Do you two do that a lot?" Caroline asked, curious.

"Drew giving her roses, yes. Them arguing, yes." Max said, causing both Drew and May to roll their eyes at him.

"Look! It's snowing!" Dawn cried.

"Let's have a snowball fight!" Ash said. Paul and Brock nodded. Everyone got their coats on and went outside.

Paul, Ash, Brock, Norman and Max started a snowball fight. While Misty and Dawn made snow angels. Drew and May were just watching and talking.

"Hey, you want to go for a walk?" Drew suddenly asked. May nodded. They headed to a local park. They just silently walked across the now snow-ridden fields, Drew grabbed her hand. May smiled shyly at him, he smiled back. They continued to walk, until Drew pulled her hand to make her stop.

When May stopped, he explained, "The reason I was late was because I had stopped to get something for you."

"Oh! You shouldn't have!" May cried.

"You don't even know what it is!" Drew laughed. He pulled out of his pocket, a red silk bag.

"Oh! It's beautiful!" May yelled. Drew laughed.

"What?" she asked pouting. He opened the bag and pulled out a locket with a rose on it. May gasped and she had tears in her eyes.

"Like it?" Drew whispered smiling. May nodded, mouth still open.

"P-put it on me." she whispered. He smiled and wrapped it around her neck. She smiled down at it and a tear slid down her cheek. He wiped it away.

"What's wrong?" he asked worried. "Do you not like it? I can take it back and get you something new," he offered.

"No!" May said horrified. Drew laughed softly.

"Then what is it?" he asked, serious again.

"Why did you give this to me?" she asked frowning and looking up at her.

"W-well...you-see...." he took a deep breath, "I love you May. I was an idiot, I fell in love with my rival, who was never going to love me back." He said and looked down.

"Well, Drew, guess what happened to me." she said.

He looked up and had sadness in his eyes, but answered anyway, "What?"

"I met a guy, his name was Drew, he was a real arrogant jerk, but I fell in love with him any how." she whispered. His head snapped up so fast, she wouldn't be surprised if he got whiplash.

He was smiling and he said, "Really?!" She smiled and her anwser was to lean up and kissed him.

When they broke he licked his lips and said, "You taste like gingerbread." She giggled and pulled him down to kiss her again.

"Hey! Where did May and Drew go?" Dawn asked. Solidad and Harley walked back into the yard, both smiling brightly.

"What's got you two so happy?" Ash asked.

"May and Drew! THE KIDDIES ARE SO CUTE!" Harley squealed.

"What! What!" Caroline asked excitedly.

"Drew gave May a locket and they confessed they're love for each other!" Solidad replied.

"AWWWWW!!!" all the girls cooed.

"Finally!" Brock stated. The others laughed and nodded in agreement. Drew and May came back than Drew a scowl on his face and snow in his hair and May attempting to cover her giggles. The girls eyes all went to May's neck and the awwed at the locket. May realized what they were looking at and both May and Drew blushed.
