Sisters?

May's POV

I woke up and yawned. The first thing I noticed was that I was alone. The bed next to me was empty. Instead of cuddling in Drew, I was cuddling into my pillow. I sat up. I reached over and touched the empty space next to me. It wasn't even warm from where he had been anymore. He must've left a while ago. I yawned again and stretched out my arms. Oh well. Time to get up. I counted to three in my head and threw the blankets off. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and let my feet touch the cold floor. A chill ran up my spine. I jumped into the shower and put the water on hot. I needed a nice hot shower to make me feel better. I got out and towelled myself dry. I shook out my hair. It was still too damp for my bandana so I would have to leave it out until it dried. I opened the door and headed down to the kitchen. Maybe breakfast would be ready. When I came down, I was greeted by the smell of freshly cooked pancakes. I licked my lips and grabbed a plate. Brock appeared from the kitchen and dumped a stack onto my plate. I breathed in the scent deeply.

"Have we got any-"

"Maple syrup is on the table," Brock answered before I had even finished asking my question. I smiled at him as thanks and sat down at the table. Ash was already halfway through eating his while Misty was yelling at him to slow down. She hit him over the head with her mallet and they started another argument right there. I supressed a giggle. They may be dating, but it didn't look like much had changed. Kyle and Shep weren't at the table, probably navigating the ship and looking at the radar or something. Jackie wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked away, muttering something about keeping a look out. Meredith took his empty plate back to the kitchen. Lizabeth wasn't at the table either, probably in the kitchen learning to cook with Brock. The last person in the room though, made my heart go thump. Drew. He was lazily forking his pancakes into his mouth. His hair was tousled and his clothes were crumbled, like he'd just woken up. He looked kind of adorable, a lazy lopsided half smile on his face. He looked up and spotted me, his hazy emerald eyes locking with mine.

"Hey you," he called softly, moving closer to me, "Looks like you came down after all. I thought you'd sleep right through breakfast."

"Now why would I do that?" I laughed, "you know as much as the next person how much I love food."

"Well, you did have a big night last night and all," he said, "You were still sleeping soundly when I left early this morning."

"Why did you leave?" I asked.

"I told you May," he replied, "I didn't want to be caught so I left a little earlier."

"Oh, right."

"Yeah, it wasn't easy either," he continued, "you were pretty stubborn, didn't want to move off me." I smiled slightly and blushed.

"Why didn't you wake me?" I asked.

"You looked so peaceful," he said, the cute smile playing at the corner of his mouth again, "I didn't want to disturb you." I smiled for real this time. He was so considerate.

"You still look like you just woke up and all," I said.

"That's because I did," he answered, "You know, I haven't been awake this whole time. I went back to sleep and woke up just for breakfast." I giggled as he tapped the end of my nose with his finger with his last three words.

Ash's POV

"Yuck, those two want to make me be sick with all that mushy stuff," I groaned, watching May giggle as Drew tapped her nose.

"Ash, you know that they're only flirting with each other," Misty reprimanded.

"Flirt? Why would they be doing that?" I asked.

"They like each other idiot," she growled, "people flirt when they like each other Ash." She hit me over the back of my head. I frowned, rubbing the spot. She had just hit me there about 10 minutes ago. I already had a bruise there. Give a guy a break.

"I don't see why they have to do that," I said, "I never flirted."

"That's because you're dense Ash," Misty retorted hotly.

"Well, you didn't flirt either," I pointed out.

"You're an idiot Ash. I did flirt. No wonder it took this long for you to get it," she sighed. I frowned for a moment, thinking.

"Misty. What is flirting?" I asked. She looked at me with an expression that said 'are you serious?' and put her hand to her face.

"Flirting is when you're attracted to someone and you playfully tease them," she explained, "it's kind of a way to show your attraction to them." Oh. I scratched my head, under my cap. Pikachu chattered into my ear.

"You're right Pikachu," I said, "We need to feed Manaphy too." I stood up and Misty followed.

"I'm coming too," she called. I nodded and took some Pokémon food in a bowel. I headed out to the lower part of the ship's deck.

"Manaphy!" I yelled, "It's time to eat." He jumped around in the water and then onto the deck.

'Happy? Happy?' he called, looking around confused. He sounded sad. Poor Pokémon.

"I think he misses May," Misty whispered beside me.

"I guess we should cheer him up then," I called. Misty smiled and nodded. I put the bowl of food down. I grabbed the Pokéballs that were hung on my belt.

"Come out everybody!" I yelled as I threw them into the air. Out came Aipom, Donphan, Corphish, Swellow and Septile. Misty threw her Pokéballs in the air too and out came, Psyduck, Azurill, Starmie, Politoed, Goldeen and Caserin; her Luvdisc. Manaphy brightened, seeing all the other Pokémon ready to play with him.

"Now all we gotta do now is sit back and watch," I said, sitting down. Misty sat down next to me and took my hand in hers. I smiled at her and squeezed her hand gently, so she'd know that affection was returned.

Drew's POV

I watched May closely as she stood, watching Manaphy having fun with Ash and Misty's Pokémon. She smiled sadly and fingered her bandana. Her hair lightly swayed in the breeze. She smiled again and shook her bandana out, moving it up to tie over her head. Just as she did, a huge gust of wind blew it from her hands.

"My bandana!" She cried, reaching out, but it was already too late. It was out of her reach. It fluttered gently in the wind and landed in the ocean. It then sank under the ocean. May pouted, still in the same position as before. I decided to make myself known.

"Hey, it's just a bandana," I said, "You don't really need it anyway."

"Drew," she gasped, jumping slightly, "what have I told you about sneaking up behind me?"

"Sorry May," I said, not a bit sorry at all, "but I couldn't resist."

"What couldn't you resist?" she asked with a cheeky tone in her voice, "Me?" She smiled cheekily at me.

"When did you get so cheeky?" I asked, trying not to grin at her playfulness. She shrugged.

"No idea," she said, "but I just thought of a good comeback for once so I decided to use it." I chuckled and shook my head.

"Hey Drew," she said, "I think I'm going to tell them about what I am. I think I know who my sister is too."

"You do?" I questioned, "Who?"

"I'm not telling you Drew," she said, "You don't get to find out before anyone else. No special treatment you know."

"What!" I exclaimed, trying to look hurt, "After everything I've done for you May, the least you could do is clue me in." I grinned, just so she'd know that I was joking. She rolled her eyes, but then smiled again.

"You know I appreciate everything you did Drew," she said seriously. She stepped forwards and hugged me. I patted her back lightly and she stepped back again and grinned.

"Ok, let's go tell the others now," she called cheerfully.

"So May," Ash said, coming in, "What did you call us all in here for?"

"Just wait," May said, "Lizabeth isn't here yet." Ash groaned impatiently. Lizabeth finally came in.

"I'm here guys," she called, "sorry I took a little longer. Now what's up?"

"May has something important to tell us," Shep said. All eyes turned to May and she grinned nervously.

"Go on, you can do it," I encouraged in a whisper. She smiled at me.

"Don't tell me," Lizabeth squealed, "You two are dating now!"

"What!" I exclaimed.

"No way!" May yelled, blushing sightly. I could feel my cheeks heating up too, but when someone asks if you're dating someone, it's kind of embarrassing.

"Eww, no," Max groaned, screwing up his face, "May and Drew dating would be so disgusting." Gee thanks, I though sarcastically, good to know I had her brother's approval.

"Just tell us May," Ash grumbled. He was so impatient.

"Well, the thing is, I'm the sea princess," she said, tapping her fingers together.

"What!" several voices yelled at the same time. It was hard to tell who said it and who didn't. Ash's eyes were wide open in shock. He was staring at May.

"It's true," she confirmed.

"Then you'll be restoring peace to the ocean?" Shep questioned, sounding and looking hopeful.

"Oh no, not me," May laughed, "I can't remember a thing about it and I'm not even the rightful heir. My older sister is."

"You have an older sister?" Max squeaked, "Does that mean I have another older sister too?"

"I guess so," May replied, frowning slightly as she thought.

"Who is she?" Misty asked.

"Don't be silly Misty," May giggled, "It's you." Everyone, including me turned and looked at Misty, who was looking quite astonished. Misty was May's sister?

A/N: Well done for those who guessed who May's sister would be. For a while, I was thinking about throwing the suspicion off Misty, like I tried to do with the whole Dryden/Drew thing, but I just couldn't be bothered. You all knew it was going to be Misty anyway. An important note is that this story will be going on hold while I take a break over Christmas. Hope you don't mind too much, but I will be back shortly.
