100 reviews… wow. Thanks for reviewing everyone. I regret the prologue; it has like nothing to do with the story. Lol. I hope you're not made about the previous chapter. *hides* everyone loves Hoennshipping right?

Almost everyone. I hate it.

After I confessed, Brendan told me 'I love you too' and we because walking with this strange awkward silence.

"So," Brendan said. "We're finally a real couple, huh?"

"Yeah," I said, shifting uncomfortably. I finally got my real official boyfriend! I should feel happy. Brendan smiled and me.

"Finally," he says. "I'm so happy." Brendan gave me a bashful grin. Brendan's really happy. I should feel happy too.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. "Look Brendan! We're finally here in the next city."

Brendan looked around when we go to the city. He turned to me. "May, I need to run to the next gym battle."

"Huh?" I said. "Don't you need to sleep? It's already night."

He shrugged.

"No I think you should sleep now and do the battle tomorrow," I said.

"But May!" he whined. "I want to battle those twins Tate and Liza! Last time I lost and they laughed at me. Now I'm stronger and I'm really going to beat them." I rolled my eyes.

"They probably got stronger too. You should train tomorrow morning then battle them in the afternoon."

"You're not my mom, you can't boss me around," he argued.

I glared at him. "Quit acting like a kid and let's go to the Pokemon Center!"

"Fine…" he said, putting his hands on the back of his head. "…mommy."

"What did you say?" I asked, glaring at him. I started walking and stopped. "Where's the Pokemon Center again?"

"You know what? I think we really need to get a guidebook for Hoenn," Brendan said, laughing.

"I know right?" I said. "We can ask Nurse Joy once we get to the Pokemon Center which is right there."

"Thank goodness. We found it," Brendan said, smirking. I laughed. We walked inside and Brendan looked at Nurse Joy. "Hi Nurse Joy, can we have a room? Two beds."

"You may. You have room 34," Nurse Joy said, giving us a key. "Do you two want dinner?"

I nodded, relieved she offered that. "Yes please!" I exclaimed. Brendan laughed at how eager I was to eat something. What can I say? I'm really hungry. "And may we have a guidebook to Hoenn?"

"Oh my," she said. "You two still don't have one? You guys must have been lost a lot."

"Kind of," Brendan said, giving Nurse Joy a smile of embarrassment. "Well, thanks a lot Nurse Joy."

"Thanks!" I said. "Bye."

Nurse Joy waved. "There's a dinner menu in your room. Call the front desk for dinner."

"Okay!" I said. We walked down the hall and I noticed something. "Brendan?"

"Hmmm?" he said. I continued to stare at him and shook my head, though he wasn't looking at me.

"Never mind, I think I was just imagining something," I said.

Brendan shrugged. "Okay then." We looked at all the door numbers until we found room thirty four. "There's our room!" I said. He stuck the key in the keyhole and opened the door.

"Wow! It's so nice," I said. "Where's the food menu?" Brendan shut the door and burst out laughing. I glared at him. "What are you laughing about?"

"You're always thinking about food and you're so small and petite," Brendan said, lying on the bed.

"Okay, now I'm sure I'm not seeing things," I said, walking towards him.

He gave me a confused look. "What?" I put my hand towards his 'hair' and pulled it off.

"WOAH!" I exclaimed, gasping. "Y-you…"

"My hat…" he said.

"'My hat' is all you need to say? I didn't know this white thing was a hat!" I exclaimed. "Your hair! It's brown! Your hair color isn't white! Why didn't you tell me?"

Brendan growled. "I don't like my brown hair. I look too much like my dad."

"Yeah, you do look like a mini Professor Birch," I concluded. He blushed and snatched the hat from me. "You're so cute! You don't want to look like your dad, huh?"

"Don't tease me," he exclaimed, fixing the hat on his head. "But you're so dense. You didn't realize this was a hat."

I blushed. "Yeah…"

Brendan laughed and patted my head. "Don't worry! It's because your mom's dense."

I pushed his hand away. "Don't tease me!" he stuck his tongue out at me childishly and looked for the menu.

"Found the menu," he said, tossing the menu to me. "Choose your dish then I'll choose mine."

"Thanks," I said. I looked at the sections. American, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Japanese… I flipped to the Chinese section to the seafood. I love seafood. "I want fried noodles with walnut shrimp on the side. And I'll have some ice tea." I gave the menu to Brendan.

"Alright," Brendan said. "I'll just take a cheeseburger with a regular salad and chocolate milk."

I took the phone and dialed the front desk. "Nurse Joy, do I order dinner from you?" I asked her when she picked up.

"Yes because the person who usually picks up is sick today," Nurse Joy said. "You're room 34 right? Brendan Birch and May Maple?"

"Yes," I said. "I would like fried noodles with walnut shrimp on the side and some ice tea. Brendan wants a cheeseburger with a regular salad and chocolate milk."

"Okay," Nurse Joy said. "They'll be up in about 10-15 minutes."

"Thank you very much!" I exclaimed and hung up. I flopped on my bed and smiled. "I can't wait. I'm so hungry!"

"You love food, don't you?" Brendan said. "I sort of think you should be a top chef instead of a top coordinator."

"Excuse me?" I exclaimed, glaring at him. "How rude." I was staring at his hat. It was so awkward because this whole time I thought he had white hair. And I always called him an old man. Why didn't he tell me? Brendan's so weird. "Hmmm…"

Brendan gave me a scared look. "Aw crap. May's thinking about something. And she's looking at me!"

I smirked and gave him a dark laughed. "Yes, yes, be scared Birchy…"

"Birchy?" he repeated. "What kind of nickname is that?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. Anyways. Brendan, give me another one of your outfits and your hat!"

"Why?"

"I want to dress up as you!" I exclaimed.

"You wouldn't look like me! Your face would give it all away," he said, scoffing.

"Actually Brendan if you look at your face really closely, your face is quite feminine," I admit quietly.

"Now that's rude," Brendan said. "No."

"Please?" I begged.

Brendan turned his head. "No," he said stubbornly.

I pouted. "Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"No."

"Pretty please with a cherry on top?" I asked sweetly, giving him a puppy dog face. Come on Brendan…

"That face isn't even cute May," he said, blushing.

I smirked to myself secretly. "Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm not blushing," Brendan defended. "It's hot in here."

"Liar," I said. "Now gimme."

"Be a big girl and say 'give me'," Brendan said.

"Just shut up! Pleeeeease Brendan?" I pleaded.

He growled. "F-fine," Brendan said.

"YES!" Brendan looked through his backpack and gave me a black and orange shirt, black pants and fingerless gloves. "I'm not going to give you my shoes."

"Yes you are," I argued. He sighed and slipped off his shoes.

"They smell you know."

I shrugged. "I don't care."

"Here," he said, handing me the shoes. "Now go to the bathroom."

"Don't you think you can get away with it," I said, snatching the hat off his head.

"May!" Brendan yelled. I stuck my tongue out at him and went to the bathroom.

~5 minutes later~

"I'm done!" I squealed, jumping out of the bathroom. "I look like you, don't I? Don't I? Don't I? Maybe I should dress like this for the contest tomorrow."

"Uh, no, I kind of need my hat," Brendan said. I walked back in the bathroom. "What the heck May?" I came back out and threw him my bandana.

"Here, you can wear that," I said. "You can hide your brown hair with that."

Brendan frowned. "Red?"

I too, frowned. I wait into my waist pouch and took out seven more colors. "I also have orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. I also might have pink."

He rolled his eyes. "That's not what I meant you know. I don't want to wear a girl's bandana."

"I'm a girl wearing boy clothes and I'm fine," I said, shrugging. "Ah! Maybe you can wear my everyday outfit!" There was a knock at my door and I smiled. "Yes! Dinner!" I opened the door and Nurse Joy gave me a cart.

"Here you go," Nurse Joy said. "Please enjoy," she said kindly.

"Thanks!" I exclaimed. She smiled and waved goodbye. "Dinner!" I yelled again.

"May, if you're going to be so loud, you might as well close the door," Brendan said.

I bit my lip. "Yeah, you're right," I shut the door and pushed the cart toward to the small table. "Okay, let's eat." I took my plate and ice tea with some silverware and started munching on my fried shrimp. "Delicious!"

Brendan bit out of his cheeseburger. "Yeah. It tastes like a normal burger to me."

"Do you expect it to be some 5 star cooking?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No."

"Then live with it," I said, putting a shrimp in my mouth.

"I never said it tasted bad," Brendan said bluntly. "You're always overreacting." I said nothing and continued eating my food. Brendan could be so… ugh! At least he doesn't do this all the time.

Being so ugh… haven't I heard that before?

I started coughing hard and Brendan looked up, startled. He ran to my side and started hitting my back lightly. "May! What's wrong?" I pushed his hand away and grabbed my ice tea. I started gulping it down quickly.

"Sorry, a walnut just went down the wrong pipe," I said. Yeah. Drew just came to my mind. Who would've thought I would have reacted like that? I let out another cough and swallowed the walnut correctly.

"What were you thinking about?" Brendan asked. "You really scared me."

"Thinking?" I repeated, letting out a laugh. "I wasn't thinking about anything special! Hey, the walnut I just ate was really good!" I put another walnut in my mouth and started coughing again. Brendan laughed.

"You're so weird May," he said, patting my back. "Don't scare me like that again."

I smiled at him. "Yeah. Sorry Brendan," I said. "And thanks."

"You're welcome," Brendan said, going back to the bed to continue eating his salad. I just remembered that Drew's mad at me. I took my cell phone out of my pocket and the cell phone charger out of my waist pouch. I forgot the battery was dead. "Where's an outlet?" I asked Brendan.

"Outlet?" Brendan asked, looking around. "There," he said, pointing to one."

"Kay," I said, plugging in the charger. "I connect it here and… is it charging Brendan?"

He shrugged. "I think it is."

"You don't really know do you?" I said. The cell phone battery started to turn on. Yup, it's charging.

"Well, the only electronic is my Pokedex which doesn't need a battery charger," Brendan said.

"Loser," I said, sticking my tongue out at him.

Brendan looked over at the table where my food was and back at me. "Aren't you going to finish your food?" he asked. "It's not like you to not finish it." I ignored him and started to text Drew. "May?"

"Wait," I said. I want to text Drew. I don't want him to be angry at me anymore. Drew I'm sorry. "Give me a sec Brendan." Text me back… text me back… text me back… come on Drew…

"Not only are you eager to eat food but you're also very eager to talk to Drew right?" Brendan asked. I turned around and he gave me a hurt expression.

"N-no!" I said. "I mean, yes, but I'm in a fight with him right now and…" I stopped. "A-and I really hate fighting with people especially when they're my best friend."

Brendan frowned. "You don't care when we fight with each other."

"I didn't like you at that time," I said bluntly. "Don't be mad at me okay?"

"Fine," he said. I still stared at him as he walked back to the bed to drink milk. He smirked. "Don't worry, I'm not mad."

I blushed when he smirked at me and turned back around. "What May?"

"Nothing…" I said slowly.

"Liar."

I stood up. "I'm going to go shower!" I ran to the bathroom.

"Wait May," Brendan said, going through his backpack and tossed me my pajama and caught them. "I think we should go to the Pokemart tomorrow and get you a bag. Your waist pouch is getting too small for your stuff."

"Yeah, you're right," I said.

I walked out of the shower and Brendan looked up at me. "What?" I said.

"I was just wondering what you were thinking about when you said 'nothing' earlier," Brendan said, still lying on the bed.

"I wasn't thinking about anything," I lied. I handed him his clothes that I was wearing before.

He rolled his eyes. "I know you're lying."

"Where'd the cart go?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"I brought it back downstairs," Brendan said.

"Thanks."

"Tell me what you were thinking about before," he continued.

I glared at him. "I won't."

"Aha, so you were thinking about something!" Brendan said.

"Stop it," I said. Brendan started putting on his hat. "Stop!"

"Stop putting on my hat?"

I blushed and looked at the floor. "I think…you look hot with your brown hair. And you don't really look like Professor Birch that much. Your face doesn't look like his. I lied. Umm… can you…not wear it tonight?" I looked up at him and he looked astonished.

"I look hot?" he said.

"Ugh! This is so embarrassing!" I said.

"Yeah, it is," Brendan said. "I didn't know I look hot with brown hair."

"But maybe you should keep the white hat so you look more like yourself," I said quickly. Brendan laughed.

"I'm going to shower," he said, walking to the bathroom. I nodded and flopped on the bed. This is so embarrassing. Who would've known that talking to Brendan would be like this? My eyes started closing and I fell asleep. And then my cell phone started ringing.

I can forgive you. I'm over it. Are you free? I was wondering if you'd like to meet at a coffee shop a block away from the Pokemon Center. I heard they have really good cake and you'll probably love it.

I'll be waiting. If you don't show up in an hour I'll leave. Besides you're probably really busy with Brendan.

You didn't show up. Oh well that's fine. Are you going to be at the contest tomorrow? If you really don't want to see me, I'll just avoid you at the contest.

Drew

"May, wake up," Brendan said.

"Ugh… what time is it?" I said.

"Seven o clock," he said.

I groaned. "Why are we waking up so early?"

"So we can go to the Pokemart so you can get a new bag," Brendan answered. "And seven isn't that early."

"Shut up," I said. "I don't want to wake up yet. Can I just go shopping after the contest?"

"No," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you're probably going to be too tired after that," Brendan said. I groaned again. He was right.

"Okay, okay, let me get ready," I said, not moving.

Brendan pushed me off the bed. "Ow! What the heck!"

"If you're going to get ready, might as well get off the bed," Brendan said, laughing. I glared at him and threw a pillow at him.

"You're so mean," I said. I went to the shelf and took my clothes. I went to the bathroom and started to change. I walked out and looked at Brendan. "Can I have my hairbrush?"

"See?" Brendan said. "You're always asking me for your stuff."

"Sorry," I said. "I can't help if my waist pouch is too small." He threw it to me and I started to brush my hair. Brendan shrugged.

"Well that's why we're going to get you a bag," he said.

"And plus I have no money," I said.

"It's okay," Brendan said. He didn't really seem to care about the money. "My dad makes a lot of money."

I said nothing and started giggling. "Oh yeah I forgot your dad was a professor." I handed him my brush and I slipped on my shoes. "Alright. Let's go!" Brendan put the brush in his bag.

"Aren't you going to get your cell phone?" he asked, pointing to it. Brendan put on his shoes and opened the door.

I gasped and ran over to my cell phone and grabbed it quickly. I stuffed it in my waist pouch and ran over to Brendan. "Okay! Let's go." Brendan gave Nurse Joy our key and we exited the Pokemon Center. "Where's the Pokemart Brendan?" I asked him.

Brendan shoved his backpack in my face. "The handbook is in the front pocket, can you get it out?" he asked. I unzipped the pocket and took out the handbook. "Thanks," Brendan said, taking the book from me. "Let's see. We're in Mossdeep City." He started flipping the pages.

"Is it far?" I asked.

"No, just a block away," Brendan said. I followed him and we turn a block and I looked at a building. "That's not the Pokemart, May."

"This coffee shop!" I said. The coffee shop was called 'Gotta Love Coffee and Cakes'. "I want to eat here."

Brendan turned back to me and examined the coffee shop. It was pretty small, and on the window there was a picture of many cakes. "Look at the cakes Brendan! Don't they look good? C'mon, let's eat breakfast here!"

He sighed. "Alright. After we'll go to the Pokemart."

"I know," I said, opening the door.

"Welcome!" the person greeted. We waved to them and I lined up.

"Wow, they look so good," I said, examining every single cake. "What cake do you want Brendan?"

Brendan said to the person who was working here, "I want a Mont Blanc and mocha," he said. "What about you May?" I continued to look at all the cakes. Drew would probably want one…

I know that Drew's favorite cakes are brownies. We went to a café together once and he ordered some brownies and saved some too. I remember asking him if he liked them and he answered, 'I love them.' I made up my mind. "I'll take a cheesecake brownie, black forest cake and a glass of milk."

"Why'd you order two cakes?" Brendan asked. I shouldn't tell him that it's for Drew.

"So I can eat one during my contest if I get hungry," I lied. He nodded. Yes, he believed me. Brendan paid and we sat down. "Mmm," I said, taking some of my cake with a spoon. "It's so good!"

Brendan nodded. "You're right, this cake is really good!" he sipped his mocha. "They're mochas are great too! May, how come you didn't order any coffee?"

"I don't like coffee," I said.

"You still have a tongue of a kid's, huh?" Brendan asked.

"No I don't!" I argued. "For your information—hey!" Brendan took some of my cake! "You thief."

"Your cake is pretty good too," he said. He held out some of his Mont Blanc to me. "Try mine, May." I took some of his and put it in my mouth. I smiled.

"Yours is also really good!" he laughed and I started laughing too.

Once we finished eating our cakes, I went over to one of the people who worked at the store. "Your cakes are really good."

"Thanks," she said. "Would you like a recipe?"

"Sure," I said. "Can I have the cheesecake brownie recipe?" she nodded and gave me the recipe. How kind. "Do you do this to everyone?"

"No," she said. "It's because you just seemed to really love it."

"Yeah I did," I said, smiling.

She whispered to me, "Don't tell anyone."

"Okay," I said. "Anyways, can you help me put this in a carry-out box?" I held out the cheesecake brownie.

"Of course," she said. She went to a drawer and handed me a box.

"Thanks!" I said. "You're the best. Bye!" I took Brendan's hand and we walked out of the store. "Thanks for paying for me Brendan," I said, laughing. "I really should get some money, huh."

"It's fine May," Brendan said.

"I feel kind of guilty. Because now we're going to the Pokemart and you're going to pay for me again," I said. "Isn't your dad going to be mad?" Brendan wrapped his arm around me.

"Really May," Brendan said. "It's fine. After all, I love you." I blushed and pushed him away.

"Don't do that, we're outside!" I said, blushing.

He pouted. "Don't you love me too?" I glared at him and stopped walking.

"There's the Pokemart," I said. "Come on!" I walked inside and looked at all the bags. "Hmm…" Brendan looked at the bags. "Brendan?"

"Hmm?"

"Umm, I love you too," I whispered. He laughed.

"What kind of bag do you want May?" Brendan asked.

I shrugged. "I want a red, black or white bag to match my outfit," I said. "Ah! I want this one!" I showed him a black and white bag with a Beautifly on it. "Isn't it just cute?"

"Yeah, I'll get you that one," he said. "Come on, let's go pay."

(About an hour later)

Brendan left for his Pokemon battle that he was very hyped up about. Right now, I'm in the Pokemon Contest building, looking for Drew. I already signed up and I've been searching for Drew about 20 minutes already. "There you are!" I said, poking Drew's shoulder.

Drew turned around. "Oh hey May. What's up?" he asked with an uneasy look on his face.

I frowned. "What? No roses for me today?" I teased.

"No," he said.

"Oh okay," I said. Drew hasn't given me roses in such a long time. I kind of miss it though it was usually really annoying because he'd act so snotty. "Drew! I bought you a cake so we could make up!"

"Make up?" he asked.

"Yeah. I sent you a text last night and I don't think you read it," I said. "So here, I got you cake from a coffee shop." Drew looked at the box. The box was brown and 'Gotta Love Coffees and Cakes' was written in pink on the box.

"That shop…" Drew said, staring at it.

I frowned. "What?"

"I don't want it," Drew said.

I gasped. "What?"

"I don't want the cake," Drew repeated.

"Why?" I asked. "They're brownies. Don't you love brownies? Why don't you want to forgive me? C'mon Drew, stop being so stubborn!"

"Shut up May!" Drew said. "Did you check your cell phone last night?" That's right. I didn't even check if he texted me back. "Oh well that's fine. You went to that coffee shop with Brendan right? I guess that's better than going with me."

"Drew, I don't understand," I said.

He rolled his eyes. "Of course you don't."

"Please, Drew, just take the cake and we can be friends again!" I pleaded. "Please Drew?" Drew turned around.

"How about we just take a break from each other May," Drew said.

"What? Why?" I asked. "No. I don't want to. Just tell me what's wrong! You're obviously hiding something from me!" I felt a tear leave my eye. "Why can't we be friends again? Drew! We were fine with Brendan in our life before! Is Brendan really that bad? He's fine Drew! He's a great boyfriend."

"Stop May," Drew said.

I started sobbing. "I'll stop if you tell me what's wrong!"

Drew hesitated. "I shouldn't tell you right now May."

"I want to know right now!" I yelled. People were looking and started baking away. That's right, back away and quit staring.

"Then stop crying and stand up," Drew said. I wiped my face and took deep breaths. I stood up. "I don't like seeing you with Brendan because…"

"Because?"

"I l—" Drew started. "Never mind. I forgive you okay?"

"Just tell me what you're going to say Drew."

"I don't want to right now."

"Then I know you're just saying 'I forgive you' because you want me to stop bothering you, right?" I asked. "Fine! I'll talk to you later after you feel like telling me!" I ran away and stuck my hand in my bag and took out my cell phone. What was Drew talking about before?

Two unread messages.

I can forgive you. I'm over it. Are you free? I was wondering if you'd like to meet at a coffee shop a block away from the Pokemon Center. I heard they have really good cake and you'll probably love it.

I'll be waiting. If you don't show up in an hour I'll leave. Besides you're probably really busy with Brendan.

So Drew actually wanted to take me to that coffee shop?

You didn't show up. Oh well that's fine. Are you going to be at the contest tomorrow? If you really don't want to see me, I'll just avoid you at the contest.

Drew

And we wanted to avoid me? Darn it. I started texting him:

Drew. I'm sorry. I didn't check my texts last night.

I hope he replies immediately.

Don't worry May. I was just overreacting.

I bit my lip. We're going to be back the way we were before right?

Probably.

I think that we'll be fine.

This isn't a cliffy right? It isn't! I swear.

UGH. Too much Hoennshipping. Makes me angry. Yes, Brendan actually has brown hair. If you look closely, the white stuff is just his hat. HAHAHA I failed. Big time. I'm not too proud of the ending. I loved this chapter. 13 pages long on Microsoft word. Hmm… what else do I need to say? Oh, how come there isn't any Contestshipping in my story?

Tee hee. Don't worry.

Review please! I'll update soon.

P.S. I'm not done with my summer homework yet… o.o
