Chapter 4- Morning Madness
Dawn was the first to wake up in the morning. She got out of her bed and stretched, then she walked to the window and looking out at the rising sun started thinking... "Everyone has their crushes here except me, I am the odd one out in the girls...I wish Paul was here...but then you never get what you want... always..."
She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned around to see May. "Oh, May its you! You almost made me scream" the girl whispered as not to wake Dawn.
"Sorry" May whispered back "Do you want to tell me something?" She asked the younger girl softly.
Dawn sighed "I was just thinking about Paul and how lucky your crushes are here and going on this adventure with you"
"I am sure Paul will also turn up' May blurted suddenly surprising even herself.
Dawn looked at her, surprised and curious "How do you know?"
May looked flustered "I dont really know, it just came into my mind and I said it, it was a feeling" she explained.
Dawn smiled slightly "We'll just see..."
May smiled and nodded.
"Good morning girls" came a voice from the topmost bunk.
"Good morning Mrs Ketchum" chorused the younger girls grinning wickedly at each other
Misty pretended to be upset "Hey!"she said getting off the bunk "He's not even my boyfriend yet, marriage is still a long way away."
"Yes, but you would not mind it would you?" May teased
Misty blushed 7 shades of pink.
"Aww... you know your crush is more like love ya know?" Dawn giggled
"You think so?" Misty asked.
May nodded firmly, "The faster you two get together the better."
"So May about you will you get together with drew?" Dawn asked.
"I dont know...i mean many people say he has feelings for me but that hardly shows in his insults and arguments...but he s always been there for me and helped me and even gives my RED roses, which if I am right signify love. He confuses me a lot..." May sighed.
"I think he likes you and you will make a cute couple. But, do you love him?" Misty asked.
"I dont know, if he likes me and behaves nicely and does not tease me then I may fall in love but I think its more of a crush right now." May explained. "But it seems impossible that he even likes me." she added.
Dawn smiled "Nothings impossible like you got that feeling in the morning I believe in it, you have got to believe too."
May nodded thinking I should not fall in love with Drew he is so mean to me he can not like me and anyway he is my rival for Celibi's sake I can not fall for him...i mean what will happen to our dreams and goals? No, I think it would be best if we dont love each other. Friends is much better. Oh god, why am I kidding myself? I like him but I am just scared of …... I dont really know what but what if he does not like me? Then our friendship will be spoiled. "you know I think I should not get together with Drew, it may spoil our contests"
Misty grinned "if you really love each other then I am sure you guys will find a way."
"Well if he loves me I wont have a problem. I battle him as a friend it wont change if he becomes my boyfriend. But I am not one to tell first! He has to do the honors." May decided.
Dawn sighed "Are those boys awake yet?"
"Dunno, but I doubt it since its very early." Misty said.
"ya, its too early even for Drew" May said, then looked wicked "want to wake them up?" she asked grinning wickedly.
Misty's eyes shun she seemed to have telepathically communicated with May. "A little wetness will do them good"
Dawn sighed "sometimes you guys just scare me" she said "but ill do it" she added grinning.
The three girls went to the Bathroom and filled up three glasses with water discussing the plan while the water filled. Then they then each took a glass and walked to the boys room. They stopped outside the door.
"Ok, May you take Drew I take Brock and Misty takes Ash" Dawn took the lead and commanded.
The other two girls nodded and May opened the door softly. The sight that greeted them was good all three boys were sleeping and Ash was snoring a little. Ash, Brock and Drew did not have bunk beds but they were 3 single beds all in one row.
All the girls walked to their targets and Misty who was in the middle lifted her hand to make a three thinking this will be fun. Then dawn lifted it to make a 2 thinking I wish it was Paul instead I want to see his reaction, then May made a 1 thinking this is for all the insults you have given me Drew Hayden and all three girls put their hands up for zero and poured. They ran out of the room as planned after pouring water.
The boys woke up with girlish screams and looked around bewildered.
"Who in the name of Arceus did that?" Drew said angrily.
"Not me im wet too" Ash huffed.
Pikachu woke up when he heard Drew's angry voice. He had been sleeping in the cupboard.
Both boys looked at Brock who frantically shook his head "i dint im wet too"
All three boys heard giggling outside the door and Drew groaned "Noooo"
Brock went and flung open the door hitting May and Misty in the head. Dawn screamed as they held their heads and put a hand on the wall for support. Ash and Drew came running out just as May fainted and Drew caught her in his arms as she fell. Misty dint faint but fell back and Ash caught her.
Brock had run for his first aid kit as soon as he had heard Dawn scream and walked to May first as she seemed to be in worse condition. "take them to your room" He ordered after he examined both of them and the boys nodded and picked the girls up bridal style. Misty was stilll awake and blushed at the way Ash was picking her up. The boys sat down on the lowest bed making the girls lie down with their heads on the respective boys laps, Mays on Drew's and Misty's on Ashes.
Misty spoke "My head hurts"
"Dont worry you will be fine, i'll be right here with you" Ash comforted her.
Drew was too busy stroking Mays hair subconsciously and fighting an inward battle to hear their conversation. He thought- why do I care for her so much? Shes my rival. But she looks cute - there I go again! Drew Hayden yo have got to get it into your head that she is your rival and she does not look cute, His brain ((A/N- or common sense whichever, I am going to say brain)) seemed to say.
His heart disagreed, she is cute you know you like her; his head argued back, well even if you like her you dont know that she likes you back.
His heart could not disagree, and if you ask her you may loose her friendship. His heart agreed, but I can still think she is cute cant I ? his heart asked.Drew shook his head trying to rid it of all thoughts. It dint work. The boy decided on one thing; that he will find out weather May liked him or not.
She wont you are always so mean to her and always make snide remarks and tease her how can she like you? His brain said
But you have helped her quite a bit and most importantly she accepted to travel with you his heart reminded him. Stopppppppppp he screeched inwardly at his heart and brain. Ill be nice to her from now on and try not to insult her and see her reaction that will surely tell me weather she likes me or not. His heart and mind both agreed with him this time.
The boy came out of his thoughts when Brock handed him an ice pack to put on Mays head and listen to Dawn explain what happened.
While Drew was going through this battle of wills here is what Ash and Misty went through (Drew did not hear or notice them)-
Misty spoke "My head hurts"
"Dont worry you will be fine, I'll be right here with you" Ash comforted her.
"Thanks." She managed to whisper before passing out.
"Pika..." Pikachu said sadly from Ash's shoulder.
The raven haired boy smiled slightly at the limp girl in his hands. She looks divine like an angel even though she is unconscious. He shook his head to clear all such thoughts and concentrated on the task at hand, to get her up and feeling better. Brock who was preparing ice packs for their heads with Dawns help walked to him and gave him one of the packs.
"Here, put it on her head where you feel the bump that will make her feel better." The older boy told Ash.
He handed another similar one to Drew who seemed to be in a sort of daze.
Ash just nodded and took the pack and put it on Misty's head where he could feel a bump and Drew did the same; then he turned to Dawn "So, I am waiting... What happened?"
Dawn gulped "Actually..." She went on to explain all that had happened since May got the idea of waking them up and finished at the door being flung open by Brock. "So, it was meant to be quite funny, but they got hurt; and we dint want to hurt anybody" she explained, "It was just a joke or prank or whatever."
The boys all nodded and Brock looked a little guilty at what he had done.
Ash looked at Misty's pale face. "When will they wake up?" the boy asked worriedly.
"Any second now" Brock was worried too "Misty should wake up first, she was hit less."
As if on cue Misty opened her eyes to find Ash bending over her holding a Ice-pack to her head. She tried to get up but Ash pushed her back down gently.
"Dont move." He said, "You need to rest."
Misty looked up at him with her cerulean blue eyes. "How is May?" she asked trying to get a look at her friend.
"Shes fine she just needs to rest" Brock gave his judgment adding, "Like you need to" in the end; seeing her tired ((A/N- A big thank you to KittyRin for pointing out that my spelling of tired was wrong everywhere else)) face.
Nurse Joy came onto the room from behind Dawn and Brock and made them jump when she spoke. "Oh dear, are the two girls..."
Nurse Joy was interrupted by Brock "Nurse Joy, your radiant beauty is enough to make me..." He was hit by Crogunk and as he fell he said "faint..." and was dragged away by Crogunk.
Dawn looked perplexed.
Doesn't he ever stop or give up? Drew briefly wondered before turning his attention back to May who stirred in his arms and Nurse Joy.
May still did not wake up although she stirred and Nurse Joy gave Misty a check over, then she came to May took one look at her hand and gently told Drew "Pick her up and follow me."
She then turned to Brock and asked for his assistance "Will you help me Brock?" Brock for once did not drool over her and nodded sensing there was something more wrong with May than Misty "Thank you, can you please lead Drew to the operation theater?" Brock nodded grimly and signaled Drew to follow him.
The green haired coordinator had gone pale at the mention of the operation theater but followed the older boy obediently.
Then Nurse Joy turned to Dawn "Can you run ahead and tell Chansey to prepare the dressing room?" Dawn nodded and ran to deliver the message.
Finally Nurse Joy turned to Ash and Misty "Ash can you please take care of Misty and make her rest while I tend to May?" Ash nodded and helped Misty lie down and sat next to her.
"Please Nurse Joy help May" Misty said in a horse voice that shook with emotion.
Nurse Joy smiled at her "I will do my best as always"
Misty nodded as Nurse Joy hurried to get to her patient.
Misty turned to Ash "May will be alright wont she?" she asked softly.
"I hope so" Ash dint want to give her any false hopes.
"Ash...?" Misty gulped.
"Yes, Mist?" Ash frowned; wondering what she was getting at.
"About the prank..." she started.
Ash put his finger on her lips "Dont start, you dint mean any harm and I know it; your forgiven." He said leaning forward.
Pikachu silently wandered out to check on May and to give his trainer some privacy.
Ash stopped when they were about 3 inches apart to see her reaction. To his surprise she had shut her eyes anticipating a kiss.
He dint want to disappoint her so he leaned in and their lips touched for three seconds and then they pulled apart. It was their first kiss.
"Thanks" Misty murmured, obviously an answer
Ash smiled at Misty and leaned in again, this time their kiss was longer and more passionate. They only pulled away for air.
" I love you Ash" Misty murmured again blushing and looking down.
Ash put his hand under her chin and lifted her head up to look into his eyes. Misty saw love and a hint of relief in his eyes. "I love you too Misty, will you be my girlfriend?" He said pulling in for another kiss.
The girl nodded before he caught her in the kiss.
xxxxxXXX MEANWHILE WITH THE OTHERS XXXxxxxx
Dawn reached first going ahead of a pale Drew who was holding May and had a grim Brock escorting him. She reached Chansey out of breath and told her in between her huffs about Nurse Joys message. Chansey started running about preparing the theater.
By the time Chansey got a stretcher out for May the two boys had arrived with her. Chansey put her on the stretcher and Nurse Joy appeared taking May inside the theater.
She turned around "Brock can you please help?" she requested.
The boy nodded and walked into the theater.
Drew started "Nurse Joy is she...?" but he could not finish it.
Nurse Joy looked shocked "Of Course! She is very much fine, just a broken arm, I think, nothing to be worried about, I'll have her out in a jiffy; in the meantime tell the others... and I am sorry but you cant come in now." Nurse Joy finished seeing Drew open his mouth hopefully but shut it as she said this.
Drew nodded and turned to Dawn and said "Come on lets tell Ash and Misty" and walked off by himself.
Dawn looked after him and sighed turning to Nurse Joy she asked "How much time will you take?"
"I'll send Brock to get you as soon as you can meet her, now go shoo, I have a patient to see to and by the looks of it you have a boy to cheer up" Nurse Joy winked at her.
Dawn smiled slightly and nodded before running off to catch up to Drew.
END
Me- Is this counted as a cliffhanger?
Drew- No! What happened to May?
May- I'm here nothings wrong!
Drew- * mumbles* Thank God.
Ash and Misty- * kiss each other*
Me, Dawn, Paul and Brock- * sweatdroppes* Okay...
Me- I dont care if you dont review but always do good things and good will come back to you. =P
PS- I really had something different planned but when I started typing this is came out like this. My original plan was to get May and Drew together in this too but I guess that would have been too much, two of them together in one chapter and on the same basis is not good and I myself dont like stories where they get together too soon.
PPS- This is too long but ill continue it in the next chapter although it was originally in one chapter but whatever.
PPPS- Sorry if Drew is more OOC than normal but he was struck by a lightning bolt when May got hit :P
PPPPS- If you read all my notes then thank you for your patience =P
