Ok as I promised, another installment to CIP. And thank you everybody for reviewing!
O and I hope all of you guys had a good Christmas. Now only 364 more days until the next one….
The Park
"May, give me my hat back!" yelled a very frantic Ash. His favorite hat had just been stolen by the love of his life, and she was running through the park with it. Even though Ash was clearly faster than May, as his years of traveling on the road, May would always jump clear of Ash.
Ash then decided that enough was enough. He took a couple steps back and threw his entire body at May. May, being the quick thinker on her feet, planned to jump back and then step to the side to just let Ash fall on his face. What she didn't plan on though was a very conveniently placed rock right behind her foot. The rook itself caused no harm, but Newton's Law of Inertia and the rock together just created a giant mess.
May felt like her world was going in slow motion, her body was slowly stumbling back, and right before she was able to regain balance, our favorite raven headed hero plowed right into her. She then realized that she was falling back, and tried to reach her hands out to try to grasp something, but caught hold of Ash instead. Instinct made her wrap her arms around him as they were falling pulling him down with her and then…
Thud!
"Gah, my head," a slightly disoriented May said. As she was rubbing her head and she tried to get up, she realized that she couldn't. A certain eight-teen year old boy was preventing that. She then realized the full spectrum of the situation, and started to blush a bright tomato red color. Ash was on top of her, with his legs in between her two legs. Her two legs just happened to bend so that her heels were pressing up against his butt. Needless to say, this was an incredibly awkward situation.
"Ash…," May said. "Are you alright?"
But instead of an intellectual answer, the only thing she got was mumbling. And then she saw where Ash was. Out of all the things for a girl to miss, she had missed where his head was. Directly on her chest. This cause two reactions from May. One reaction was her to blush an even brighter red, but the other was not so calm. No, the other reaction sent Ash flying into the nearest tree. Then, out of nowhere, two big neon letters spelling out "K.O." appeared in the background behind the tree. Then May jumped in the air, did a back flip and make a peace sign before falling back down to earth.
However, Ash did not look as awesome as May just did. He just slowly slid down the tree, taking the tree's bark with him. To top that all of, he had a massive bump on the side of his head. He started to get up, but he just fell right back down. May then went over to Ash and helped him get to his feet.
"Ash, that's what you get for stuffing your face into my chest!" yelled an angered May.
"But… but"
"No buts. You are a pervert Mr. Ketchum, and you're lucky I don't just hit you the rest of the way back to your house!"
"May, you have to listen to me, I wasn't trying to do that! I was just trying to get my hat back!" Ash's reasoning seemed to work, as May calmed down a lot.
"Ok Ash, I believe you this one time, but if you ever try something like that again…"
"Don't worry May," Ash suddenly said. "It won't happen ever again."
Well, at least it won't happen as long as we aren't going out, May thought to herself. Wait, what am I saying? Maybe I'm the pervert in this….
So after this incident, May gave Ash his hat back, and they walked around the park. They came across a play ground, and the childish side of May just couldn't resist. "Ash," May began to ask. "Can we please go and play on that playground?" May then sported the biggest puppy dog face that she could muster.
"Well, we don't have to be back until later tonight, so I guess I don't see why not!"
"Aw, thanks Ash you're the best!" And with that, May grabbed Ash's hand and dragged him towards the swing set. It seemed like she was a little girl all over again. As they were playing, little bits of snow started to fall to the ground. May's eyes just lit up in happiness. Well, it seems that May likes the snow, thought Ash. Maybe I picked the right gift after all. Ash was in a state of bliss. He was thinking about how May would react when she received his gift, but these thoughts were brought to an abrupt halt.
"What are ya thinking about Ash?" a curious May asked.
"Oh, it's nothing May," Ash began to respond. "It's just that..." and at that moment, Ash's stomach let out a low grumble that caused May to fall over laughing.
"Ash, you have such a one tracked mind!" teased May.
Wow, Ash thought to himself. That was close; I should remember to thank my stomach in the future. In fact I think it's time to put my plan into affect. As then pulled out a small whistle and blew into it as hard as he could. But no sound came out of the whistle. May just gave Ash a very curious expression, which Ash just returned with a you'll see look. Then, out of nowhere, a small yellow mouse came with a picnic basket tied to its back. Ash cut off the basket and hid it behind his back.
"So May, you hungry at all?" Ash asked.
"Why yes Ash, now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit hungry," May answered. "But what are we going to do for food?"
"That's were I come in!" And with that Ash opened the basket and pulled everything out anime style. In other words, Ash had created emptied the contents of the entire basket onto a square blanket. All the food was magically on plates and none of the drinks had fallen out of their glasses.
"Wow Ash, this is incredible! How did you do it?"
"Well, it really doesn't take much; you just kinda pull everything out and with practice…"
"No silly, I mean how did you get all this food here?" asked May.
"Oh, well remember when you first got here? At the docks?"
"Ya I remember, why?" asked a confused May.
"Well, right after I met up with you, I had Pikachu… you know, this might better be described in a flashback."
*Wavy lines*
-------------------------------------Flashback: 2 hours ago-------------------------------------------
"May I promise that I will never leave you for so long ever again."
"Ok good." and as she said this she finally let go of Ash. "So where to now?"
"We're off to my place!"
And with that, they started to head to the suburbs of Pallet Town, but not before Ash stopped for a moment.
"What's up Ash?" asked May.
"I'm just tying my shoe is all. You go ahead, I'll catch up."
"Ok Ash, but don't be gone for long!" And May then started walking away from Ash, who then took Pikachu and told him, "Pikachu, I need for you to go and get the picnic basket on the kitchen table for me. I have a feeling it's going to be useful today, and plus Mom worked so hard to put that together for me. Meet me at the park in about 2 hours, okay buddy?"
Pikachu just simply nodded and ran off into the distance.
---------------------------------------End Flashback--------------------------------------------------
"And that's what happened." Ash said as he finished his story.
"So you did all this for me?" asked a delighted May.
"Well, technically, my mom did…" but Ash never got to finish his sentence, as May had thrown herself onto Ash, hugging him as tight as she could. "Ash that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me! Thank you so much!"
Ash didn't try to get himself out of this hug, but instead, hugged May back, adding, "you're very welcome May."
This feels so right, both May and Ash thought at the same time. I just don't ever want to let go. Unfortunately for them, this little display did not go unnoticed by Pikachu. So Pikachu, being the best friend that he his, snuck behind May and start making kissy kissy faces so only Ash could see. This cause Ash to blush a bright red and then to start stammering, "Pika-pikachu, t-that's n-ot funny!"
This caused May to the look at Pikachu, who made the mistake of holding his last face. When he saw that May was looking directly at him, he starting wishing he was the cat pokemon, not the mouse pokemon. Pikachu then used agility to get the heck out of there, but not before he thought he saw an unusual colored bush.
-------------------------------------------Behind the bush---------------------------------------------
"Well my fears have been confirmed," the mysterious green eyed man said. "It looks like that they both do really like each other. I still wonder if I can turn May over to me by the end of Christmas. I might need some help doing so." So then the man pulled out his poke-tech, and started to punch in a number.
"Come on, pick up. I know you're there…."
"Hello?"
"Hello, Misty? This is Drew, I have a little favor to ask of you."
Ok and there ya have it. The sixth chapter is done and the seventh will hopefully be here shortly. Again, hope you guess had a Merry Christmas! R&R!
