--ASH'S POV--
'Wow, this fairy is so cool!' I thought looking around. I stopped at the railing. I looked out to the ocean.
"Ash?" I turned my head to my name.
"Oh May!" I said.
"Well lunch is ready." May said smiling. 'Oh god, I love it when she smiles.'
"Oh! Thanks." I replied back. May began to walk back to where lunch was, I followed.
"HEY GUYS OVER HERE!" shouted Brock, from a distance.
"Come on!" said May, facing me. She began running. "Race Ya!" I started to run after her.
"Hey no fair! You got a head start!" I shouted to her. May only giggled. 'I just cant stop it. When she giggles and when she smiles. Ok I have to admit I do like May, I dont know how but I do, and when she kissed me the other night, I didnt know what to think.' I finally caught up to the rest of group.
"Finally your back, what took you so long slowpoke." giggled May.
"You got a head start." I said sitting next to her.
"Ok so here you go!" said Brock setting down a plate of food in front of everyone. Of course me and May were the first one to dig in.

After lunch it began to get darker.
"Why dont we go sleep?" suggested Dawn. Everyone agreed.
During the middle of the night I woke up, I guess I just couldnt get to sleep. I slowly and quietly, slipped on my shoes and walked out the door making sure I wouldnt wake anyone up. I walked out to the railing.
--MAY'S POV--
I opened my eyes. I guess I couldnt get to sleep. I looked over to my side where Ash's bed was. He wasnt there. 'I wonder where he could have gone?' I thought. I slipped on my shoes and walked out the door. Cindy slowly opened her eyes. She streched and yawned. The female pikachu looked over to her side seeing that her trainer wasnt there. Cindy looked at Ash's bed seeing that he wasnt there either.
Cindy walked over to pikachu.
"Pika pika chu." Cindy said. Pikachu opened his eyes.
"Piiiiiii?" He asked.
"Pik pika kachu!" Cindy told the male pikachu. Pikachu looked to notice everyone was in bed exept May and Ash. The two pikachus ran out the door.
I searched around for Ash. I finally found him by the railing. I walked up to him.
"Cant get to sleep?" I asked from behind him. Ash jumped a little and turned.
"Oh its you May." He said.
"So cant get to sleep?" I asked leaning against the railing. Ash nodded.
"You too?" He asked leaning on the railing to. I replied back with a nod. The two pikachus finally found there trainer.
"Pika? Pii kachu!" said Cindy.
"Pii! Kachu chu!" joined in Pikachu. The two pokemon ran over to there trainers.
"So why cant you get to sl-" I was cut off by Cindy jumping into my arms. Same with Ash. "Hi Cindy." I said.
"Pii Pika!" The pokemon replied.
"You were saying?" asked Ash, facing me.
"Umm so uhh why cant you get to sleep?" I asked. Ash turned his head to his Pikachu that layed on his shoulders.
"I guess its just because I have alot of things on my mind right now." He replied facing back to me.
--ASH'S POV--
"Oh really? Like what?" She asked me.
"What do you mean 'like what'?" I asked the brown haired girl.
"I mean like whats on your mind?" May asked me.
"Oh you know stuff." I said.
"Like what?" May asked again.
"Uhh, you know, battle strategies, umm you know just stuff." I lied.
"Hmm typical Ash." said May.
"Heh."
"Well do you know what I've been thinking lately?" asked May leaning in to me.
--MAY'S POV--
'This is my chance to tell him how I feel!' I thought.
"Uhh no." replied Ash.
"Well..." I said getting in closer. "I just wante-" I cut off by someone.
"What are you two doing up this late?" asked a familier voice. I backed my head. I looked at the familier person.
"MAX?" I asked.
"Yeah." he replied.
"What are you doing up this late?" I asked him.
"I had to go to the bathroom." Max said. I smacked my forhead.
"Just go to bed. Ok? NOW!" I said pointing into the direction of our room. Max obeyed and went back.
"So uhh you were gonna say something?" Ash asked me.
"Umm, nevermind, It was nothing." I said.
"Well ok." said Ash. After that we both went to bed.
--DAWN'S POV--
I woke up, by someone shaking me.
"Huh?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"Dawn come on, its almost time till we arrive." said May.
"May? Ahh ok I"ll get up." I sat up. I yawned. I got dressed and stepped outside of our room door.
"We will be arriving in Petalburgs City in one hour." The loudspeaker said. I heard a Max saying 'Yes!' in the background.
--1 hour later--
We arrived in Petalburgs City. It looked so cool!
"Hey guys look!" said Max pointing to a poster.
"Whos that guy?" I asked referring to the poster. All eyes landed on me. "What?"
"Nothing! I guess you dont know since you've never been here, but thats me and Max's dad." said May.
"Ahh, so then why is he on a poster?" I asked.
"Oh you see our dad is the gym leader here!" said Max.
"Oh ok, now I get." I said. We began walking towards May's and Max's house.
--ORIGINAL POV--
May knocked on the door.
"There here!" A voice said from the other side of the door. May and Max's mother Caroline answered the door.
"HELLO!" she said grabbing her two childern and hugging them.
"Hey mom." May said, and a hi from Max. Caroline let go of her childern.
"Well its nice to see you again Ash, same with you Brock." said Caroline.
"Hello Caroline." said Brock.
"Its good to be here again." said Ash.
"Oh and I'm sorry, you must be one of May's friend. Right?" asked Caroline facing Dawn.
"Yes and I'm Dawn. Very nice to meet you." said Dawn.
"Very nice to meet you to Dawn." said Caroline.
"Mom? Wheres dad?" asked Max. Caroline turned to her son.
"Hes umm running some errands." replied Caroline. "Well anyway! Why dont we go on inside." every one stepped inside. "OK how bout the girls sleep in May's room, and the boy's sleep in Max's room."
everyone nodded.
--
"Petalburg is so cool!" said Dawn. She had went to every single shop in the whole city.
"Yeah..." said May walking behind Dawn.
"Lets go back home." said Dawn.
"Finally." muttered May.
"You say something?" asked Dawn, turning around.
"Oh nothing!" said May. Dawn shrugged.
--
"We're home!" called out May as the two girls entered the front door. There was no answer.
"Anyone?" called out Dawn. The two girls set there bags down, they walked to the family room. Ash sat on the couch.
"Ash?" asked May. Ash faced May. His eyes looked worried.
"Whats wrong? and wheres everyone?" asked May. Ash stood up is and put his hand on her shoulder.
"May." He choked. "Everyones at the hospital."
"W-what?" asked May. "Why?"
"It's Max." said Ash. "Everyones there, even your dad."
"N-no!" said May. "Whats wrong with Max?" May began to tear up. Ash pulled her into a hug. May began sobbing into Ash's vest.
"The docters dont know yet. Caroline found out that Max had a fever when you guys left. Max took a nap, but later the fever got worst. So everyone took Max took the hospital because it kept on getting worse." explained Ash.
"why?" sobbed May.
"How could this happen?" asked Dawn.
"I dont know." replied Ash. "Hey May?" May lifted her head to face Ash's face.
"Yes?" she said.
"Do you want to go to the hospital now?" he asked. May nodded her head.
--
May came bursting through the doors of the hospital.
"Mom!" she cried as soon as she spotted her mom.
"May." she said. You could tell she was crying. Norman, May's and Max's father came over.
"May." he said.
"Dad?" she said, and hugged her father.
--
"So Brock? Whats happen so far?" asked Ash sitting next to Brock.
"The doctors think it may have gotten worse. So they wont let anyone in the room." said Brock.
"Hmmmm." said Ash.
"So now what?" asked Dawn taking a seat next to Ash.
"I'm not sure. I guess we just have to wait and see." said Brock.
"Yeah." said Dawn. "Wow, I dont know what I would do if that happen to me if I had a little sibling."
"Yep its true."
--
Later on, much later on, the doctor came out of the room.
"Mrs and Mr Maple?" the doctor asked.
"Yes?" said Caroline. The doctor walked over to them.
"Hi I'm Doctor Golip. And about Max.." Doctor Golip said.
"Yes?" asked Norman.
"He must go under surgery he has a fifty percent of living and fifty percent of dying." Doctor Golip confessed.
"W-what?" asked Caroline.
"Is there any other way?" asked Norman.
"No I'm sorry." said Doctor Golip.
"Will the surgery make him better?"
"Thats whats we think." said the doctor.
"Should we?" asked Norman facing his wife.
"If it will make him better than I think we should." say Caroline. The doctor nodded.
"If thats what you want to do then fine." He replied.
--
"Dad is Max gonna be ok?" asked May.
"He'll be fine. I'm sure of it. If the surgery goes well." Norman replied. Everyone had gone home after a while longer at the hospital. They had just finished dinner, May was helping Norman with the dishes.
"Alright then." said May. There was along pause.
"So uhh May about Ash..." Norman started up.
"Yeah?" The brunette asked facing her father. "What about him?"
"I see you've been keeping your eyes on him?" Norman said. May blushed.
"Dad.." she said.
"Now now its ok." Norman said. He walked past May carrying plates to the cupboards. "Just dont try anything."
"Dad!" said May once more.
"Ok ok! Now lets just get these dishes done before your mother has a cow." Norman said. May laughed.
--MAY'S POV--
I sat on the couch, with a photo album in my lap. I was looking at old pictures from Hoenn and some pictures from Johto. I even had a couple pictures of Sinnoh that Ash gave me. Ash camdown the stairs and spotted me on the couch. He walked over and plopped down on the couch next to me.
"So whats ya doing?" he asked me.
"Oh nothing just looking at some old pictures." I replied back.
"Hmm." Ash looked at the album. "Is that picture from Johto?" He pointned to a picture.
"Yeah. Let me see where was that?" I said. "Well theres the judges so it must have been a contest, oh and theres Harely, Drew-" Ash grunted at Drew's name.
"You ok?" I asked him. He faced me.
"Oh yeah I'm peachy." He smiled. I shrugged.
