PROLOGUE.

The group decided to stop their journey in a quiet forest. They were quite hungry, and a bit sleepy, especially the only girl of the group.

-Why don't you wash your face, sis? –Max, her little green haired brother, said – That will help you to stay awake and eat this delicious food Brock had prepared for us.

The girl, whose name was May, nodded in agreement and decided to wash her face in the nearest river.

-Don't take too long, May – Ash shouted as she walked away- or I will finish all the food!

-You won't have the opportunity, Ash Ketchum! - she happily replied.

As she made her way through the woods towards the river, she felt something in her heart. The voice of the boy she considered her best friend. Ash Ketchum. His voice made her feel warm.

"Don't overthink things, girl. Just let it go"

May was surprised. She stood still for a moment, yet far away from the group, so they couldn't see what happened. A voice, a different one this time, told her to let her feelings go. But whose voice was that? And was she the only one who hear it?

She shivered, and fastened his steps to approach her destination. For a moment she thought of going back. But she heard the voice again.

"You want to know something. I know you want, May".

The brunette looked at the river. She saw herself in the mirror of the water, wearing her traditional red bandana and t-shirt. The soft wind made the water flow, and she smiled. The river returned the smile.

-Oh, river, I have a question to ask you – she whispered to him.

-Tell me, pretty girl – the river said, intrigued.

-What is love? –she asked, and continued -I understand that love is when two people meet and cannot take their eyes away from each other. It's a very simple thing, but at the same thing, a bit hard to explain with words.

"But there is something more, I know that. Something I don't know and could help me understand what love really is.

-Indeed –the river replied – Love is what you said, but there is something more.

"Love is when you know in your heart that the person you love most shares the same feelings for you.
