Chapter One- Ferry Delay! Love Bicker!
"If you are boarding this month's ferry to the Orre region, please report to the dock immediately. " Nurse Joy's voice was on the PA.
May lazily sat up as Nurse Joy repeated her warning. She looked at the clock. It read 9:00. "Huh? But the ferry leaves at 12! Ah, must be important." She got up and climbed down off the bed. She shook Drew awake.
"What is it, May?" He yawned.
"Nurse Joy wants us down. Some announcement or something."
"Should Max get shaken awake by some annoying girl too?" Drew teased.
"Oh will you lay off!" She tied on her bandana and put on her pack and walked out the door.
Drew snickered. "That's May alright." He put on his purple jacket and and left.

Nurse Joy stepped up to a podium. "We're terribly sorry for bothering you this early before the ride."
Brock stepped up the podium as well and took her hand in his."Oh, my lovely gentle angel, you are forgiven from my very toes to my very-"
Max stepped up and tugged Brock away by the ear, as usual. "Let's see if she can forgive YOU for that."
Nurse Joy laughed nervously and played with the microphone a bit. "Sorry about that. Because of last night's accident, we will have to run a security check on your luggages, and that will take a while, so come around 11. Thank you!"
A continuous ripple of muttering went through the crowd as they left out the door.
"Max, I thought you were asleep!" May scolded.
"When I woke up, you weren't there, and when I looked in the hallway, people where heading towards the main lobby, so I figured you'd be there," Max said defensively.
May sighed. "No sense arguing. I wonder what the accident was."
"No clue, but let's hope nothing bad happens to us. We should eat breakfast now, it's 9:30." Drew started for the cafeteria.

“Mmmm, pancakes,” Max said happily after a waitress in a frilly dress set it down on the table.
“Well, everyone, dig in!” May announced happily. She raised her fork and stopped when she noticed Drew was sitting in his usual “arms crossed and corny attitude” look even with the pancake’s aroma wafting around him.
“Drew, aren’t you going to eat?” May set her fork down.
“ I don’t need to eat, I’m immortal,” he taunted.
“You’re kidding, right?” Max said in his “annoying know-it-all voice.”
Drew laughed as he and May picked their forks up. “You caught me.”
* * *
Max laughed as he lied back down on his bed. “I ate so much I can’t move!”
May giggled with him. “Not the same here. I ate so fast we still have more than an hour to wait!”
Drew couldn’t help but laugh too. When they all settled down and pulled themselves together, Drew asked, “So, what do you reckon we do in the meantime?”
“We could let out our Pokemon ,” May suggested.
Drew sent out his Roselia, Masquerain, and paused to think if Flygon would fit in the room. He sent it out anyway. It’s “antennae” barely tickled the ceiling and Drew breathed a sigh of relief.
May tossed out her Pokeballs to release her Bulbasaur, Beautifly, Skitty, and Combusken.
Masquerain flew up to Beautifly and blushed as it flew around in a pattern of spins and turns.
Drew flicked his hair. “Heh, figures. “
May looked confused. “What’s Masquerain doing?”
Max flipped through a Pokemon book. “That’s a mating dance. Sometimes it means that the trainer’s are in love as well!” Max burst into laughter. “Ha, you and Drew! I can-ow!”
May had angrily seized the book from her brother and whacked him on the head with it. “You made the last part up!”
(Meanwhile, Drew calmly ignored this.)
Max held his laughter. “Then what are those RED roses for?” He exploded this time.
Drew tried to ignore this, but he was shaking.
May turned bright red. She looked like she wanted to drive a dagger through his head.
“And Drew even said it made sense!” Max whacked himself with a pillow while trying to breathe.
May ran into the bathroom and locked the door.
Drew grabbed Max by the arm. “Two words. J-Just two: STOP. IT.” He released the boy, shaking.
“I think I had better leave,” Max muttered, apparently trying to stifle another chest burst. He left without a word.
Drew knocked on the bathroom door and heard May crying. “May, can I come in?”
“Use the key on my bed, “ sobbed a muffled voice.
Drew climbed up the ladder and saw a key on May’s pillow. He took it and climbed back down and unlocked the door.
May was hugging her knees as tears rolled down her face and landed on the floor. Drew sat down next to her.
“About what Max said, I…” Drew trailed off shakily. ‘No. I can’t confess my feelings toward her. Now’s not the right time,’ Drew thought to himself.
“Drew, I…” May trailed off in a similar way as Drew did. ‘I can’t tell him how I feel about him, what if he doesn’t love me back?’ May’s thoughts ran about in her mind. “Drew?”
Drew looked up. “Yes?”
“Thanks for caring enough to come in and comfort me,” May said. ‘There. Hopefully I didn’t release to much,’ she thought to herself.
They got up and walked out of the bathroom.
“Max, you may come in now,” May said reluctantly.
Max slowly walked in. “Sis, Drew, I’m sorry. Now that that’s settled, it’s 10:50, so let’s get ready to go.
Thank you, again and again and again!
