My 3rd edit! I just realised I had atrocious grammar. Unless I still have atrocious grammar now. Please review and tell me if you see any mistakes!
Anyway, the one below is kind of...irrelevant to the story. If you read the previous chapter (I know I would!) you would have noticed I deleted the random cliffhanger; deleted in the sense that I left a note there, and let you guys see what I initially had.
For this one...I'll just skip to the relevant part. I don't like the irrelevant part! T.T
You know, sometimes things happen. And after those things happen, other things start to come out.
Take May Maple for instance.
A simple fall can cause a change of heart. From decent guy, to really nice guy. A simple fall also gives you pain for days to come.
The one thing that mattered most to May about this fall was this: A simple fall can result in a loss of money from a treat.
May walked with a slight limp, though barely noticeable, as she strode speedily through the shopping mall and cut through the insane crowds, leaving Ash to tail her. Helpless, clueless, and without any form of fast transport or navigation, he scanned the area frantically for the limping girl.
I mean, how difficult could it get to find a limping brunette?
Ash roamed through the mall, yelling, "May...!" He entered the CD shop, attracted by the huge banner proclaiming a huge discount. He had this strange...urge to buy something.
As he walked into the shop, a certain song started to blare out.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
Ash happened to take a cursory glance. "Ah, there she is-!" He suddenly noticed that May was sitting down, viewing the albums. "Oh crap…"he muttered under his breath, realising how the song linked to the reality before him.
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
May had a serious, intense look on her face. Her eyes…they looked like innocent gleaming sapphires that stood out among the crowd of jewellery. "Cute…"he thought, rolling his eyes slightly.
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Ash gave the surrounding area a death glare (for he didn't know where the music was coming from). "I do not want to kiss her." he hissed inaudibly. "But if I did like her, I wouldn't mind trying-" Realising what he just uttered, he mentally slapped himself and blushed deeply.
Yeah, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too
"Of course she'll want me! I'm the best basketball player ever!" Ash boasted, casting a glare at one of the speakers.
May looked at him and retorted, "No you're not…"
"Did I say that aloud?"
May rolled her eyes at that question.
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Ash imagined himself asking May. "She'll slap me, and then stab me on the way home…" he thought. He thought of May as an assassin disguised as a pretty innocent-looking girl sometimes. Where did she learn Japanese from anyway?
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
"I'm not shy!" he yelled at wherever the player was mentally. "What am I even doing, rebutting the lyrics?"
And then he slapped his forehead and groaned.
"May, we'll go look for another music shop…" Ash suggested, and he dragged May away from that music shop.
While walking past a television shop, Ash saw the music video of that same song…
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it shame, too bad
You gonna kiss the girl
Ash furrowed his eyebrows. "Hey May…"
And when he wanted to touch her shoulder and drag her to another store, May walked forward to look at the iPod on display, so Ash 'missed the girl'.
"What rotten luck…" he murmured. "May, let's go to the…" he paused to look around. Aha! The shoe shop.
"…shoe shop!"
And he dragged May away from the shop.
When they reached the shoe shop, Ash pretended to look around, when he heard the song AGAIN:
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
"Do what?" Ash asked himself.
She won't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Ash smirked. "I know how to prove this wrong…" he grinned to himself.
"Hey, May!"
May looked at him, and said one word: "Huh?"
Ash grinned even wider. "Nothing." HA, beat that; she said a word!
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
Now Ash was going crazy. He dragged May, who was talking to a lady about who-knows-what away to the bench nearby. "Ah, I'm kinda tired, let's take a breather before we go on…" Ash announced. May nodded her head.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
May smiled at the boy.
"Wasn't the song 'Kiss the Girl' nice, Ash?
I was trying to maintain the 'same-ness' of the chapter! Anyway, chapter 3 has been re-edited!
On a different note, I recently read on Wikipedia that songfics aren't allowed on fanfiction. But still, I'm lazy enough not to be able to think of another alternative.
I sort of mentioned a Taco Bell outing in this, but I'm too lazy! Review!
