"An Infatuated May: The Ridiculous Kind of Love"

Act One: A Ridiculous Kind of Morning

Location: Two walking days from Petalburg City.

Two days meant that home sweet home was still far away. Their feet were so dead tired, taking another step was practically impossible. They found a good spot to camp. They were going to camp eventually because it was getting dark. Everyone was really exhausted...REALLY EXHAUSTED. Being pursued by a flock of Spearow while being pecked on was uncalled for.

That night, dinner was being prepared. The sudden chill called for a warm bowl of soup with wild and edible ingredients. Their chef turned around for a second to check on the rest of the ingredients. In a matter of minutes, it was bon appétit.

"We're lucky to have found this great spot overlooking the lake." said Brock. "We would be walking another twenty miles through this thick forest if we didn't."

"I'm just glad we're out of the fact that my clothes were almost ruined by pecking beaks." May replied, taking a spoonful of soup.

"We should take this chance to rest up. Petalburg City's two days away."

Two days...that's awfully a lot of time.

Suddenly, May's not feeling as well as she should be.

"Suddenly, I don't feel so good." Evidence was her head hurting...and pretty sure it wasn't Spearow's peck attack that did the job. "I'm going to bed."

Pikachu hurried to her shoulder and patted May's head.

Brock tried to offer some help. "I have some medicine here. I suggest that you take it."

But she reluctantly passed. "Thanks but a good night's rest is all I need. It's what I always do for a meddling headache."

This was May's idea of a simple remedy. Soon she'll come to realize that it doesn't work.

"I'd better go check out my sister." Her younger brother Max said out of concern. "She tends to say things that sometimes aren't true."

The next day, the meddling headache was completely gone. May was already cured and felt better. But there was such a term as "too better".

"Well, good morning sunshine. You seem well today." Brock greeted.

"Have you seen Ash?" May suddenly asked.

"He's by the lakeshore. Why you ask?"

"Oh nothing; I'll see you in a few minutes."

May ran off to where the aspiring Pokemon master was. Funny, because it was odd that she asked where Ash was first thing in the morning.

When both of them got back from the lakeshore, everything became clear to them as Ash demanded an explanation...

"Would you guys mind telling me why May just kissed me?"
