In the midst of May and Norman's conversation, a resounding, almost otherworldly cry pierced the air, drawing May's attention away from Norman. Peering out the window, her eyes widened in astonishment as Reshiram and Zekrom gracefully descended from the sky, their majestic forms illuminated by the sunlight.

"Reshiram? Zekrom?" May breathed, her voice tinged with awe as she beheld the legendary Pokémon standing before her. Both Reshiram and Zekrom glanced inside, a silent acknowledgment of their presence. With a mixture of surprise and delight, May quickly dashed outside to greet them. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Ash." Reshiram answered, a warm smile gracing her features. "Said you enjoy flight for birthday,"

"Aw." A small smile played on May's lips at the mention of Ash's thoughtful gesture. "He did, did he?"

"Took him long enough." Zekrom interjected, a hint of amusement in his tone. May couldn't help but smile at the banter between the Legendary Pokémon. Glancing back at Ash, she asked another teasing question.

"And is he coming too?" Caught off guard, Ash looked up, uncertain. May's reassuring smile prompted him to try and gather his courage.

"W-well..."

"You know they won't hurt you," May reassured him gently, her voice tender.

"R-right..." Ash stammered, his nerves palpable. Encouraged by his hesitation, May took his hand and guided him towards Zekrom.

"And didn't you arrange this?"

"Right..." Ash admitted sheepishly.

"You can ride with Zekrom." May urged him with a reassuring smile. Nervously, Ash glanced at the formidable Pokémon before him, his apprehension evident. Zekrom met his gaze, silently acknowledging his discomfort.

"Zekrom, would you take things a little slower for him? Please?" May implored softly. After a moment's consideration, Zekrom nodded in agreement.

"Uh…" he gulped.

"Come on now. You trust me don't you?"

"Y-yeah…"

"Then ride the dragon." she instructed him.

"Okay…" Taking a deep breath, Ash reluctantly climbed onto Zekrom's back, his grip tight as May boarded Reshiram next to him. Within the blink of an eye, both of the Pokémon took off into the sky. As they soared through the air, May's laughter echoed around them, her joy infectious.

"This is awesome you guys!" With Reshiram leading the way, followed closely by Zekrom, Ash held on for dear life, his initial fear gradually giving way to exhilaration. Observing Ash's struggle, May couldn't help but giggle at his expense. "Doing alright, Aura Boy?"

"What do you think…?!" he growled at her as he clutched onto Zekrom, his hat lost to the wind as he gritted his teeth in terror. Undeterred, May extended her hand towards him and Reshiram pulled up alongside Zekrom per her instructions.

"Would you prefer to double up?"

"I-I'm not gonna let go!" Ash protested, his determination evident.

"We can stop for a minute if you want." May gently suggested. Grateful for the reprieve, Ash nodded eagerly, his relief palpable. "Alright. Slow down for a minute guys?" Heeding her request, Reshiram and Zekrom stopped their forward momentum, bringing their flight to a temporary halt. Both dragons hovered in mid-air as May and Ash took a moment to compose themselves. As they prepared to resume their journey, May's laughter filled the air once more, a testament to the joy of their extraordinary adventure. "Better now Aura Boy?"

"I-I'd feel better on the ground…" he stammered.

"Alright alright we can take a quick break." she agreed.

"Th-thank you…" he sighed in relief as May readily acquiesced to his request. With only a nod to Reshiram and Zekrom, the majestic dragons descended to a nearby clearing in the forest. Taking a moment to steady himself, Ash slid down from Zekrom's back, his relief evident as his feet touched the earth once more. Meanwhile, May settled comfortably against Reshiram's wing, a contented smile gracing her features as she gazed at the legendary Pokémon alongside her boyfriend. Observing Ash's unease, May couldn't help but tease him gently.

"What's it gonna take for you to come around on these guys?"

"Be easier if they were Pikachu sized..." Ash sighed, his apprehension palpable. Undeterred, May gently reminded him of their significance in her life.

"I'm just saying, you're literally dating their human contact. Isn't this something we kinda need to expect?"

"I guess so..." Ash conceded. May's smile widened, her affection for him evident.

"That is, of course, if you're planning on spending some long-term time with the human contact." she hinted. With a small smile, Ash nodded in agreement, acknowledging her point.

"I do…" he admitted.

"Aw yay." Encouraged by his response, May leaned in to kiss him tenderly, eliciting a surprised yet delighted moan from Ash. Lost in the moment, they shared a passionate embrace, their affection for one another evident in every touch and every sigh. As they finally pulled away, their smiles mirrored one another's, their bond stronger than ever. Resting her forehead against his, May couldn't help but tease him playfully. "So...we've seen you, my sister, my best friend, our partners, my family, and my dragons today...and we've only got a few hours of daylight left...should I be expecting anything else from you today?"

"Of course you should. After all, I'm not the only one missing their hat right now." Ash grinned mischievously, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Hm?" she wondered.

"Your crown silly. Haven't you noticed it's been missing all day?" he hinted. May's gasp of realization quickly turned into laughter as she realized the extent of his playful antics.

"No! You had me completely naked this morning! And you've been doing very well distracting me all day!" she laughed. "Did you set up another scavenger hunt?!"

"Mhm," he smirked proudly. "You just gotta look for one thing in places we know."

"We know lots of places." she reminded him. "Like what kind of places?"

"Like first date type places perhaps?" he hinted not-so-subtly.

"First date huh? Hm...well there's no way you'd put it at the bottom of the cliff. So that's out." May reasoned.

"Not bad logic." he chuckled.

"I suppose the berry grove is a possibility. And if not we can at least get a snack," she suggested.

"That I definitely won't object to" he smiled.

"Then the hunt is on!" With a grin, May accepted the challenge, her excitement palpable as she mounted Reshiram once more, catching Ash off guard.

"W-wait…!" he gulped.

"Let's go Aura Boy!" she beckoned him, extending a hand in an offer to help him up. With a deep breath for courage, Ash ran over and grabbed her hand, allowing her to help him onto Reshiram's back behind her before the two dragons took off once more. As they soared through the skies once more, Ash clung to May tightly, trying to keep his composure somewhat in tact, causing May to chuckle as she addressed the dragons. "Don't worry. We'll get him to be comfortable riding in no time." With a gentle nod, Zekrom echoed her sentiment, his silent nod giving Ash a twinge of guilt in his gut about his attitude towards the dragons May loved so much.

"S-sorry I offended you…" he said quietly. Zekrom seemed to hear him in spite of the quiet however and roared softly in response.

"He's fine." May assured Ash, acting as a translator between them. Despite his initial apprehension, Ash couldn't help but chuckle nervously as he clung to May, his trust in her unwavering even in the face of his fears.

After a short flight, the dragons were soon hovering above the berry grove, May's smile widening as she spotted their destination below.

"There it is!" Ash's soft smile betrayed his nervousness as he braced himself for the decent. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, May turned her head towards him.

"Ready to jump?" she suddenly asked,

"What?!" before he could even gasp, she seized his hand and leaped off Reshiram's back, sending them plummeting towards the treetops below. As Ash's screams filled the air, May couldn't help but laugh, her joy evident even in the midst of their freefall. Just as they neared the treeline, Zekrom swooped in to their rescue, catching them on his back with a skillful maneuver. As Ash's panicked breathing gradually subsided, May's laughter bubbled over, her happiness infectious. Breathless and shaken, Ash issued a half-hearted threat, "Do that again and you're single..."

"Fine." May relented, amused by his reaction. With trembling limbs, Ash cautiously followed May as she descended the tree to the forest floor, their hands brushing against the rough bark as they picked berries along the way. Despite their search yielding no results, May remained undeterred, her optimism unwavering. "Hm...nothing sparkly yet."

"At least the ground is stable…" he sighed. As they settled beneath the shade of a towering tree, May couldn't help but express her admiration for him.

"You're so cute." she smiled. Grateful for her reassurance, Ash couldn't help but tease her in return.

"Thanks, it's the life-threatening terror..." Refusing to let his fears overshadow their moment together, May reassured him gently.

"We were never in any danger. Reshiram and Zekrom would've never let us hit the ground." She then pulled some of the freshly picked berries out of her skirt pocket and offered them to him. "Here Aura Boy, a peace offering."

"Alright…" he sighed as he accepted, deciding to let it go.

"To the most wonderful man I've ever known." May declared, tapping her berry to his in a makeshift toast before planting a kiss on his cheek. Caught off guard by her sweetness, Ash could only manage a soft reply.

"Thanks..." he said with a small smile. As they nestled together in the comforting shade to enjoy their snack, May rested her head on his shoulder, their bond stronger than ever. Caught off guard by her vulnerability, Ash couldn't help but smile softly. "Don't be cute now..."

"Why?" she asked, unfazed by his protest.

"You're too much when you're cute." he sighing softly, still smiling just at the sight of her.

"So you do still love me? Even when I'm cute?" she teased.

"Of course...especially then," he answered, finally showing confidence again in his voice. Her heart swelling with affection, May pressed a kiss to his lips.

"Well then, that's all I care about." she declared. As they exchanged smiles, May's words lingered in the air, a testament to the depth of their love. "And don't ever think anything is more important than that."

"Darn. Now you've gone from being cute to being adorable…" he chuckled.

"Sue me." she smiled. Noticing the time once again from the position of the sun, Ash gently nudged her towards their next destination.

"I do wanna get home before dinner."

"Then I'd better hurry." May accepted the challenge with a playful grin. "Next place to try is the flower fields."

"Lead the way then Ninja Girl." he encouraged her. With a laugh, May ran off with Ash hot on her heels.

As May darted into the field, her laughter echoing in the gentle breeze, Ash couldn't help but be captivated by her carefree spirit. Giggling as she twirled among the flowers, May's eyes sparkled with delight.

"Too bad it's past noon. I would've loved to see Beautifly and her friends." Blushing softly at her enchanting presence, Ash could only watch in awe as she danced with the petals in her hair.

"She's a princess alright…" he whispered to himself as he watched her. Lost in her search for the missing crown, Ash's comment went unheard by May as her search through the flowers came up emptyhanded.

"Welp! Only one spot left!" she declared, her smile growing mischievous. "I should've guessed it would be in your favorite spot. But I'll never turn down reliving our first date."

"Well if you're so confident let's go." he challenged her. With a playful giggle, May leaned in to peck his lips, their affectionate exchange interrupted by Reshiram's call from above. Curious, May looked up to see Reshiram nodding towards Zekrom, who held Ash's hat in his claw.

"Oh you did find it!" she squealed, drawing Ash's attention to the dragons' find as May rushed over to retrieve it, her gratitude overflowing as she thanked the legendary Pokémon. "You guys are the best! Thank you!"

"When did you…?" Ash stammered, stunned that May had somehow asked the dragons to go and find his hat without him noticing. Returning to Ash's side, May gently placed the hat on his head, her favorite position.

"There!" he continued staring at her in shock and, smiling at his reaction, May reassured him, "You didn't think I'd let such an important piece of your uniform go missing, did you?"

"Wow…" Grateful for her thoughtfulness, Ash looked up at Reshiram and Zekrom, his heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you... all of you..."

"Always my love," May replied as she squeezed his hand, her eyes shining with excitement. "Now then, to the pond?"

"Right behind you." he gave her a nod of agreement. May looked up at her two dragons one more time with a bright smile.

"Thanks for the fun ride you two! I'll catch up with you guys and Kyurem tonight!" she called as she waved to the dragons before grabbing Ash's hand and running off.

"Whoa..!" he gasped as he stumbled after her.

As May darted back toward the thicket of thorn bushes that guarded the secret path to the secluded lake, Ash followed closely behind, matching her strides. They knew the route well, navigating effortlessly through the familiar terrain until they reached the tree branch path above. With a graceful leap, May descended to the bank of the hidden pond, her heart brimming with anticipation. Ash followed suit, his smile reflecting her enthusiasm as they both embraced the tranquility of their cherished sanctuary.

"Does my crown require diving to find?" May teased, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she turned to face Ash.

"I'm not telling," he replied, a playful glint dancing in his gaze. May giggled, her gaze sweeping over the banks of the pond, catching a faint glimmer deeper in the water.

"Guess I'm going in," she declared, slipping off her shoes with a mischievous grin. As May shed her top and skirt, carefully keeping them dry on the bank, Ash watched with a fond smile, his admiration evident in his eyes. With a sense of determination, May plunged into the cool embrace of the water, her movements fluid as she swam down to the pond's floor. Minutes passed before May resurfaced, her triumphant smile signaling her success as she held her tiara aloft. Ash applauded from the shore, his pride evident in the warmth of his gaze as May emerged from the water, drying herself off with practiced ease. "Still the best place to swim in the Kingdom," May remarked, slipping back into her clothes with effortless grace, her tiara resting proudly atop her head. Ash smiled in agreement, his gaze lingering on May as she donned her crown once more.

"Shall we then?" he asked, his voice soft with affection.

"We shall." May returned his smile, nodding eagerly as they made their way back through the trees, their laughter echoing through the tranquil forest.

Soon, they emerged into the bustling courtyard of the castle, the scent of food wafting through the air. Ash's gaze flickered toward the dining room window, where Pikachu waved enthusiastically.

"What are you staring at?" May asked, breaking the spell of Ash's reverie.

"Nothing," he replied with a sheepish grin.

"Imagining food?" May teased, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Maybe." Ash chuckled softly. With a shared smile, May darted inside, her laughter ringing through the foyer as Ash followed in her wake. As they paused to catch their breath, May glanced at Ash with a playful smirk.

"Ready?" she asked, her eyes dancing with anticipation.

"Sort of," Ash replied, his breath still coming in short pants.

"Sort of?" May echoed. "I thought you were starving."

"I am," Ash admitted with a chuckle. "But it couldn't hurt to get cleaned up first."

"Not pretty enough, huh?" May laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Ash's cheeks tinged pink as he shrugged sheepishly.

"It's not like that I just meant..."

"I'm teasing you Aura Boy," May declared with a grin. "I'll meet you there in just a minute." With a quick peck on Ash's cheek, she dashed off to her room, her laughter echoing through the corridors as Ash watched her go, a smile playing at his lips. As the urgency of the moment pressed upon him, he hurriedly got dressed in his best suit and then made his way to the entrance of the dining room, his heart pounding with anticipation.

"Ring!" he exclaimed, reaching out to Dawn, who stood waiting with a small ring box in hand. Dawn passed him the box with a knowing smile.

"Calm down, Ash," she said, gesturing toward the Great Hall. "Pikachu rounded everyone up before you guys got back. We're all here."

"Thanks, Dawn. Now hurry to the Great Hall before she sees you." Ash nodded in gratitude, his focus solely on the task at hand as she left him to his thoughts, the weight of the ring box heavy in his hand.

Meanwhile, May busied herself in her room, swiftly changing into fresh underwear and slipping into a clean dress, her fingers deftly fixing her ponytails with practiced ease. As Ash waited by the entrance to the dining hall with bated breath, the sound of May's approaching footsteps quickened his pulse.

"There she is!" he whispered anxiously to himself. May rounded the corner, her presence filling the space with warmth and light.

"Ash, you here?" she called out, her voice echoing with anticipation.

"Of course," Ash replied, stepping forward to greet her with a smile that mirrored her own. May's eyes danced with delight as she took in Ash's appearance.

"Well, look at you, fancy suit," she remarked playfully. Ash chuckled, his cheeks tinged pink at her compliment.

"Special occasion," he explained with a grin.

"Indeed," May agreed, her smile widening. "And it really highlights your incredible good looks." Blushing slightly, Ash glanced away bashfully, unable to hide his pleasure at May's words.

"Well, I do have some news," Ash began, his voice tinged with excitement.

"That you love me?" May teased, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Close," Ash replied with a chuckle.

"Oh?"

"Dinner is being relocated," Ash announced, his smile widening. "The dining room is closed down."

"Why? Is everything okay?" Confusion flickered across May's features as she furrowed her brow.

"More than okay," Ash assured her, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Just the last stop on our agenda today."

"Well, lead the way, fancy Aura Boy," May declared with a grin, falling into step beside him as they made their way to the Great Hall. With a playful flourish, Ash gestured for May to enter first, a smile tugging at his lips as he followed her inside. To May's surprise, she found everyone gathered around a large table near the balcony, their faces alight with excitement.

"Surprise!" they exclaimed in unison as May's eyes widened with delight.

"You guys are the best!" May exclaimed, rushing forward to embrace each of them in turn, her heart overflowing with gratitude.

"Happy birthday sis!" Janine smiled.

"Thank you all so much! This has been just the best day ever! I love you all!" May grinned happily.

"And we all love you!" Glaceon cheered.

"That's why you're the best!" May smiled, happily embracing each of them once more. Amidst the joyous celebration, Ash watched May with a smile, his gaze never leaving her radiant face. As their eyes met, he felt a surge of nerves wash over him, his heart pounding with anticipation.

"Actually May, we have one more surprise for you..." Ash began, his voice trailing off as he reached for May's hand, his fingers trembling slightly. Confusion flickered across May's features as she followed Ash's gaze, her breath catching in her throat as he drew her into a tender kiss. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as they melted into each other's embrace, the world falling away around them. As Ash pulled away, his heart pounding with emotion, he gazed into May's eyes, his voice soft with sincerity. "May..."

"Yes?" she whispered, her voice barely a breath as she met his gaze with unwavering intensity.

"Today has been... an effort to show you how much you mean to all of us," Ash began, his words tinged with emotion. "But... especially how much you mean to me..."

"Ash…" Tears welled in May's eyes as she listened, her heart swelling with love for the man standing before her.

"May... You've been stuck in my mind ever since the day we met and you first kissed me," Ash confessed, his voice trembling with raw emotion. "I dreamed what it would be like if we lived like we do right now for a long time... and I wanted to show you how far we've really come since that day...That's why I sent you on today's scavenger hunt. Most importantly your crown. I figured since it started with one...I should take the next step with one...May..?" A soft gasp escaped May's lips as Ash sank to one knee before her, his grandmother's ring glinting in the light as he held it out to her. "Will you marry me?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper as he awaited her answer. For a moment, May stood stunned, shocked speechless for probably the first time in her life. Her mind was reeling with disbelief as tears streamed down her cheeks. And then, with a quiet voice that echoed with the depth of her love, she whispered her response.

"Yes..." a smile spread across her face as she began to full-on cry with absolute happiness. "Yes…!" Overwhelmed with joy, Ash enveloped May in a tight embrace, his heart overflowing with happiness as he held her close. May gripped onto his chest and happily cried, mumbling "yes" over and over again as her mind raced to catch up with her heart. As they clung to each other amidst the celebration, Pikachu smiled down from his perch on the chandelier, his cheeks crackling with electricity as he launched a weak Thunderbolt into the air, the crackling sparks illuminating the sky with a dazzling display of light as real fireworks erupted in a burst of color outside the balcony, joining Pikachu's electrifying display, May gazed up in wonder, her smile radiant through her tears. "Wow..."

"I love you, May," Ash whispered, his voice filled with tenderness as he held her close.

"I love you too," May replied, her voice trembling with emotion. "I love you more than I'll ever be able to say..." Their lips met in a passionate kiss, their hearts beating as one in the warmth of their embrace. Ash held May close, savoring the sweetness of her lips against his own, their love igniting like a flame in the darkness. As they slowly pulled away, May rested her forehead against Ash's, a smile tugged at May's lips as she squeezed his hand gently, her heart overflowing with love for the man standing before her.

"Mrs. Ash Ketchum, huh...?" May mused softly, her gaze meeting Ash's with a tender smile.

"Heh..." Ash chuckled, a blush coloring his cheeks.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ash Ketchum... I like it..." May confessed, her eyes shining with happiness.

"I like it a lot..." Ash smiled at her. "As long as you do too."

"I do. And I want to be Mrs. Ketchum... more than anything..." May smiled, her heart brimming with joy. Ash's blush deepened as he met May's gaze, his love for her shining in his eyes. "Your Mrs. Ketchum..." May's smile softened, her heart swelling with love for the man who held her so dear.

"You will be. Now, how about we get some food?" Ash suggested, his voice warm with affection.

"I'd like that..." May replied with a chuckle. "Can I look at the ring too...?" Ash nodded, handing over the ring with a smile. May accepted it with reverence, her eyes widening in awe as she examined its beauty. "Oh, Ash, it's beautiful..."

"It was my grandmother's..." Ash explained softly, his voice filled with emotion.

"Whoa, really...?" May gasped in surprise, her eyes wide with wonder. Ash nodded, his smile tender as he watched May's 's breath caught in her throat as she realized the significance of the heirloom in her hands. "So... this ring was Sir Aaron's...I promise I'll take good care of it..." May vowed, her voice filled with sincerity.

"I know you will..." Ash smiled warmly. With a smile, May slipped the ring onto her finger, her eyes shining with joy as she held out her hand to Ash. "What do you think...?"

"Very pretty," Ash replied, his smile matching hers as he took her hand in his own. Together, hand in hand, they made their way to the table, and May couldn't help but notice the knowing smiles and twinkling eyes of their friends and family.

"I'm guessing you all knew...?" May asked with a chuckle, her cheeks flushed with happiness.

"Yep." Janine nodded with a grin.

"Thank you... that was the best surprise ever..." May exclaimed, her heart overflowing with gratitude. Norman smiled warmly at her, his eyes filled with pride.

"So let's have a party to match how happy I am! And fair warning! I'm happier than I've ever been!" May declared with a laugh, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Ash laughed along with her, his heart light with joy as he took his seat at the table. May settled in next to him, still holding his hand tightly, her smile never faltering. "My beloved fiancé..." May whispered, her voice filled with love as she gazed into Ash's eyes. Ash returned her smile, his heart swelling with affection.

"My hungry fiancée," he teased, earning a giggle from May.

"No beloved yet?" May teased back, her eyes dancing with mischief.

"You're always beloved," Ash replied with a smile, his gaze softening as he looked at her.

"Yay!" May exclaimed with a laugh, her heart brimming with happiness. As they began to eat, May couldn't help but marvel at the delicious spread before them. "Wow! Even better than usual!" Glaceon purred contentedly as May stroked her head affectionately, a smile tugging at her lips as she turned back towards Ash. "Since you got to ask a question, can I ask one?"

"Go nuts," Ash replied, his attention fully focused on her.

"Will you move in with me?" May asked, her smile widening as she watched Ash's reaction. Ash choked on his water, his cheeks flushing bright red as he sputtered in surprise. May giggled at his reaction, squeezing his hand reassuringly.

"T-typically that happens after the fact…" he pointed out.

"So do a lot of other things that we've already done." she reminded him, causing Ash's blush spread from his cheeks to the tips of his ears as he met May's gaze, his heart pounding with emotion.

"MAY!" he yelled. May giggled as everyone else chuckled, aside from Norman who looked down awkwardly. That was his daughter making those insinuations after all.

"You still haven't answered my darling."

"I-is that a Royal order..?"

"It doesn't have to be if the answer is yes."

"I-if... I have approval...?" Ash stammered, his voice barely a whisper. May's smile widened as she leaned in to kiss him, her heart overflowing with love.

"I approve."

"I-I meant from your parents..." Ash stuttered, his voice barely above a whisper.

"It's not a problem for me." Caroline chuckled softly.

"I don't see that I have much of a say," Norman added. "As long as you treat her well I'll allow it."

"Well then…guess I'm moving in," Ash declared with a small smile, his eyes shining with happiness.

"Yay!" May exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck in a tight hug.

"Ack!" Ash gasped, his cheeks flushing as May peppered his cheek with kisses. May laughed joyfully, her heart overflowing with love for the man who held her so dear.

"I love you," May whispered, her voice filled with tenderness as she gazed into Ash's eyes.

"I can tell..." Ash replied with a smile, his heart swelling with affection.

"Good." May smiled back, her eyes shining with happiness as she kissed him excitedly.

As May yawned tiredly, her energy from the day's excitement beginning to wane, Ash couldn't help but smile at her weariness.

"Sleepy?" he asked gently, his voice soft with affection. May nodded, resting her head on his shoulder with a contented sigh.

"Big day..." Ash smiled softly, wrapping his arm around her comfortingly. "Can we go to... our room?" May asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Ash blushed at her suggestion, his heart racing with anticipation.

"No hesitation, huh?" he teased lightly, his cheeks tinged pink.

"Not really my style..." May chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Ash chuckled in response, his heart swelling with love for the spirited girl beside him. "After all if it was, I wouldn't be the girl you want to marry..." May added with a playful grin, her eyes twinkling with amusement. Ash couldn't resist the urge to lean in and press a gentle kiss to her cheek, his heart overflowing with love for the woman who held his heart.

"Alright. We can go." he decided. May smiled at him before turning back towards the rest of the table.

"Thank you all so much," May exclaimed, her voice filled with gratitude as she addressed their friends and family. "Today has just been the best day ever. I love you all." Glaceon nuzzled May's leg affectionately, a soft purr emanating from her.

"We love you too, May," Glaceon replied, her eyes shining with affection. May smiled as she hugged each person in the room, her heart overflowing with love and gratitude. Ash smiled at her, his heart brimming with love as she took his hand and led him away from the gathering.

"Whoa-" Ash yelped as May eagerly pulled him into her room and closed the door behind them. May giggled at his reaction, her eyes dancing with mischief as she turned to face him. "M-May..." Ash stammered, his cheeks flushing bright red.

"Yes?" May replied innocently, her smile playful as she met his gaze. Ash couldn't tear his eyes away from her, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched her undress.

"Mind letting my arm stay attached to me..?" Ash joked nervously, his cheeks burning with embarrassment. May giggled and released his arm, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Sure. I need to get dressed anyway," she replied with a smile, slipping off her top with practiced ease. Ash blushed furiously as he watched her undress, his heart racing with desire. May smiled at him softly, her eyes filled with love as she removed her skirt and underwear, leaving only the ring on her finger.

"I... take it I should follow the leader..?" Ash asked nervously, his voice barely above a whisper. May smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, her heart overflowing with love for the man standing before her.

"You did show me how much I mean to you... I'd like a chance to show you how much you mean to me... wearing only your most precious gift to me..." May whispered, her voice filled with tenderness. Ash's heart swelled with love for her, his eyes shining with affection as he nodded in agreement.

"Okay..." he replied softly, his voice filled with emotion.

"Perfect." May smiled and leaned in to kiss him passionately, her heart racing with desire as she pressed her body against his. As their kisses grew more fervent, May's hands began to explore Ash's body, slowly undressing him with gentle touches and caresses. Ash moaned softly, his body responding eagerly to her touch as he surrendered himself to the pleasure of her embrace. May guided him to the bed, her eyes shining with love as she gazed into his eyes.

"You're adorable when you're excited..." Ash whispered, his voice filled with love as he looked up at her.

"Thank you," May replied with a smile, her heart brimming with happiness. As they settled onto the bed together, their bodies entwined in a passionate embrace, May showered Ash with kisses, her love for him shining brightly in every touch and caress. Ash moaned softly, his pleasure building with each tender touch and affectionate gesture from the woman he loved more than anything in the world. And as the moon rose into it's place in the sky outside the window, both the Aura Boy and the Ninja Girl thoroughly enjoyed their engagement night together.
