Amv: WOOT WOOT!! You know, I just decided to make this the last chapter.

Drew: Do I get together with May?

Amv: You'll have to read it first!

Jack: Great! Let's go!

Antonio: Amv doesn't own Pokemon or the chorus of the song "Leave (Get Out)" by JoJo.

Brick: Or any other part of the song, for that matter.

Amv: Well, enjoy!

Chapter Thirteen:

Here Goes Everything

As the final notes faded into silence, Drew's green eyes stared deep into May's. She heard Joey telling her that Drew was an idiot, and that that entire song had been a lie, but the look on Drew's face said otherwise; he had really meant every word in that song.

"I-I have to go," May said, pushing past Joey and everyone else as she went to the door. The sun was beginning to set over the ocean, May noticed as she went along the boardwalk. She nimbly leapt over the wooden fence that separated the sidewalk from the sand, and slowly sat down about fifteen feet from the spot where the waves washed against the shore. The warm, soft sand in between her fingers and toes was oddly comforting, and allowed May to think more clearly.

Joey had told her for the past week that Drew was an arrogant jerk, and that had been true... but why did Drew sing that particular song? She knew for a near fact that Antonio and Bethany and Joey had written their songs based off of their current lives, so it would be commoon sense to assume that Drew had, too... but the lyrics, and just the rhythm, hadn't matched up to the Drew Joey had been describing to her for that week.

"It just doesn't make sense..."

Drew searched through the crowd as he stepped back into the clearing, but May was nowhere to be found.

"Max!" Drew called. The little boy turned to face him. "Where's May?"

"She left right after your song ended." Max told him.

"Thanks." Drew clapped him on the shoulder and started heading for the door. He was nearly there, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He turned, and to his surprise, saw Kyo and Ayumu.

"What?" Drew asked, exaperated.

"You should hurry." Kyo said. "The silver haired slimeball just followed her."

"Good luck, Drew." Ayumu said. He gently pushed the boy forward. "Now go!"

Drew smiled. "I'm running!"

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

May sighed for the sixth time as she looked out at the ocean waves. The sun had sunk lower, becoming a glowing red half circle out on the faraway horizon. The clouds around it were light pink and pale crimson, the higher ones more of a light purple. The clear blue waves sparkled at the top of their crests just before they curled over and became light foam.

For the past few days, May had been trying to act like she didn't miss the cocky but compassionate Drew she had once known, but it was impossible. It seemed that there was a gaping hole in her heart where he had once been, and nothing May told herself made it go away. The nagging sense of loss scared May a little. Even when Joey was her boyfriend, during one of their quiet periods, Drew would come to her mind, and nothing she told herself made him go away.

And then there was Joey himself. He had been trying to get closer to her for a few days, but every time he did, May would get a buring feeling in her heart, telling herself that something was wrong. Something was wrong with her and Joey's relationship. After all, if Drew's uncle really was the boss of Team Rocket, how did he know, when Drew hadn't even told her? And why would he try his hardest to try and make her hate him, if May was already his girlfriend?

Girlfriend. The word that had once made her feel giddy when she thought about Joey was now making her feel sick to her stomach, and a pang go through her heart. And then an image of Drew would appear in her mind...

"May!" a boy's voice called. May turned, a smile breaking across her face, but it fell away when she saw that it was Joey. Her heart fell, but a moment later she asked herself, Why am I so disappointed? It's not like I wanted someone else to turn up...

"Hi, Joey." May said, forcing a smile on her face. Joey sat down beside her, a little closer than probably neccesary.

"Are you alright? You look like something's bothering you." Joey said, frowning slightly.

May shook her head. "I'm... I'm just... thinking."

Joey looked like he was about to say something, but then his eyes flickered to something over her shoulder. He smirked suddenly, and put an arm around her waist. May fought against a shudder.

"Maybe this will help you feel better," He said as he started to lean in.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

"Now, if I were May and I just heard myself sing that song, where would I go?" Drew muttered. A moment later he frowned. "Okay, that made no sense. Where do I think May is?"

Drew frowened as he thought for a moment. Somewhere calm, somewhere quiet, somewhere that most people won't be at this time of night...

"The beach." He concluded as he walked quickly down the sidewalk. A few minutes later, he came to the boardwalk.

Okay, Drew thought, Let's hope she's here... He wandered down the walk for a few minutes, staring out at the sand dunes. It looked like the entire beach was deserted, but then two figures appreared in the distance.

"Is that them?" Drew wondered as he quickened his pace. "Yeah, that's May! And... Joey." He added when he saw the silver haired boy next to her.

Joey looked past May's shoulder and straight into Drew's eyes. A wide smirk suddenly broke out across his face, and a moment later, said something to May. Then he put an arm around her waist, closed his eyes, and moved in for a kiss.

Drew's blood ran ice-cold.

"No..." he whispered.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

May stared at Joey's face as he moved closer. She suddenly realized how awfully pale his skin was. Ick.

He pulled her in slightly, making May's gaze drop to his mouth. Wait... was that... lip gloss?

Suddenly, May remembered a dream she had had a litle over a week ago... and then his voice was running through her head, as clearly as if her was whispering in her ear:

"If you must know, I'm Drew. Pokemon corrdinator!" "Hmm... that last move had some real art to it!" "Not you, it's for was for your Beautifly!" "Oh, how sweet, you remembered my name." "I'm hoping to see you here next year, too, May." "Did you save me?" "Just two more ribbons." "Next time we meet, I expect to see your new style, okay?" "And I told you before... Don't worry about me." "May, I need to talk to you." "Just between you, me, and the door frame..." "You kissed me yesterday, remember? That was my getting back at you." "Not seeing that loving you... that's what I was trying to do..."

And then above it all, May's heart suddenly shreiked:

"DON'T KISS HIM!!"

May's body acted without thinking- with her left hand, she reached up and stopped Joey from moving another inch. With her right hand, she pulled his arm away from her and pushed it back towards him.

"May- what-?! But...?" Joey spluttered as May moved away. "What was that about?"

May shrugged. Her heart was pounding rapidly, telling her that she had done right, that she couldn't kiss him, because May didn't want to share her first kiss with him. Suddenly, as inexplicable as her tears over him from last night, May was longing for...

"May!"

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Drew's mouth fell open as May shoved Joey away before his lips met hers. As Joey stammered in shock, May scooted over until she was about five feet away from him. He leapt over the fence and ran over to them, calling out, "May!" as he did.

"Drew!" May gasped as she stod up. Drew kneeled over, his hands on his knees as he fought to regain his breath; he hadn't been able to breathe when Joey was leaning in.

After a minute, he stood up and said, "May, I need to tell you somethin-!"

"Shut up, Greenie." Joey snarled ashe stood squarely in front of May. "And you were just interrupting a moment. You want to ruin everything for May, don't you? Just go away and-"

"Hypocrite." Drew spat at the silver haired boy.

Joey smirked. "Me? A hypocrite? Never. Besides, May's already angry enough at you as it is- she hates you. So just-"

"Get out of my way." Drew said as he pushed Joey off to the side as he walked over to May. She closed her eyes, as if afraid of what would happen, but then felt Drew's hands gently gripping her on the shoulders. "May..." he said softly. "You've known me for three years... and after all of that time... do you think I'd ever do anything Joey told you I did? Do you think I would give you those roses just to make fun of you? Do you think I'd actually cheat?"

May opened her eyes to see Drew's face only a few inches from hers. "W-what?"

Drew laughed lightly. Same old clueless May. "May, look into my eyes and tell me... do you really think that I'd do that to you?"

May bit her lip and looked up from her feet. Her sapphire eyes caught his emerald ones, and a miracle happened.

Joey seemed to vanish. So did the sea, the sky, the sun... the world vanished. Wait, no. This was the world, The two of them standing together, staring straight into each others eyes. May's heart suddenly started pounding, beating faster and faster until that was the only thing she could hear. She felt herself blush as she realized how close their faces were to each others'. The sparkle that had been gone for so long returned to her eyes as the feelings that had been locked away broke free; May had fallen back in love with him.

Drew saw the glitter he had missed for so long glowing in her eyes and nearly laughed in relief as she said. "No... no, I don't think you did that..."

"WHAT?!" Joey shouted. May jumped- she had completely forgotten that he was there. "May, how can you do this to me? I'm you boyfriend!"

Drew gave May one last look, and pulled away to face Joey. "Give it up, Joey. The charade is over."

Joey looked taken aback for a moment, but then he smirked. "Really? And what makes you think that?"

"Because you messed up," Drew said simply. "You were seen kissing your real girlfriend."

May's mouth fell open. "His what?!"

"Don't believe him, May." Joey said loftliy. "After everything he's put you through-"

Drew laughed hallowly. "I've put her through? I've put her through? Who's the one who always made the sarcastic comments, the snide remarks, making fun of her coordinating skills, her friends, her family...?"

Joey crossed him arm. "So I'm not the nicest person. And you did most of those things, too!"

"I know I did. And lately, I've been really regretting it." Drew admitted. "But I would try to make up for it, behind the small hints and a rose I claimed was for her pokemon."

"Drew..." May whispered in shock. He had really... done that for her? Yes, he had, she realized. Every time May had been down or sad because of him, he would somehow make up for it later. He had actually always been there for her. Even when she was with Joey, he had tried to remain her friend.

"May!" Joey's sharp voice said. She jumped slightly and noticed that both boys were staring intently at her. "Do you believe this idiot?"

May felt a flicker of anger at the way Joey addressed him. "Yes, I do believe that idiot. But I don't understand. Why did you try to turn me against Drew?"

"I can explain that," Drew said. "It was all part of a plan to help his girlfriend win the Grand Festival. His real girlfriend, that is- none other than Sabrina Morgans!"

Joey glared at him. "Prove it."

Drew grinned, a flame lighting up inside of him. "Gladly."

And then he tugged his cell phone out of his pocket, scrolled down his photos list, and clicked on the most recent one. It blew up to cover the entire screen as Drew held it up to the silver haired boy. He was so shocked, he didn't even move as Drew went to May. Her eyes grew wide as she saw the irrevocable evidence- Drew had been right. Joey had cheated her.

Then she said, in a remakably calm voice, "You never realy liked me at all, did you?"

That was Joey's breaking point.

"Like you? May, I'd love to meet the idiot who's like you (Guess I'm an idiot, then, Drew thought). I mean, seriously- you're naive, you're an idiot, you're an awful coordinator, a smushed ant is more attrative than you, and you never look at anything seriously! Sabrina's the only girl I'll ever love! I hate you!"

Drew gaped at Joey, and started walking over to him, getting ready to punch him... but May got there first. SMACK!

She had slapped Joey across the face so hard that a red handmark shone as brightly as a sunburn. Her face was flushed red with fury. "I dare you to say that straight to my face! I can't believe you! I mean- you- us- Sabrina-" and then she sang, he voice loud and clear:

"Get out, right now
It's the end of you and me
It's too late, and I can't wait for you to be gone,
'cause I know, about her, and I wonder,
How I bought all the lies,
you said that you would treat me right
but you was just a waste of time "

"Gladly!" Joey bellowed as he spun around and ran back down the beach. Drew watched him go, not daring to believe it. Did May just break up with Joey? So did that mean that she was free again? However, a soft sniffle behind him made him spin around. What he saw made his heart melt.

May was standing alone, tears slowly rolling down her face. She bit her lip when she saw that Drew was watching her. She wiped her eyes and said. "It's wierd, I should be really brokenhearted about what just happened... but I'm sort of relieved. But I can't believe how stupid I was! And- and everything he said was right, too." May gave a tiny gasp and the tears began to fall faster. "I am naive, I am an idiot, I am a lousy coordinator... and because of that, I nearly lost you as a friend, Drew."

Drew's heart gave a pang as he heard her say his name. Then, hardly knowing that he was really doing it, he slowly walked over to her until he was standing right in front of her.

May hiccupped softly. "Look, Drew, I really don't-"

Her words trailed away as Drew pulled her into his arms for a big hug, her face pressed into his shoulder. May was stiff for a moment, but slowly she relaxed and allowed herself to cry herself dry.

Drew gently patted her on the back. "May..." he said after a few minutes. "Don't you listen to a word he said. Joey's the one at fault here, not you. It's Joey's own fault for not seeing how awesome you really are, May. I mean, you're nice, and compassionate, and a great coordinator, and a great singer, and you're beautiful and why am I still talking?"

May laughed at his last comment, but pulled away. "Drew?"

"Yeah?" Drew asked as he turned to face her. He noticed that May was blushing nearly as bad as he was.

May looked at her feet, twiddling her fingers together. "Well... it's just that... after everything that's happened... I wanted to know... well, just the truth. I've been really unfair to you, Drew. I want to hear your side of the story."

Drew stared at her for a moment, his heart falling. What could he do now? Could he just go on acting like he didn't love her? Could he really just leave her again? No, Drew told himself, No, I can't do that again. I have to tell her.

Drew looked straight into her eyes. "You want to know the truth? Close your eyes."

May looked confused for a moment, but then she said, "Okay..." and slowly slipped her eyelids closed.

Drew took a deep breath and stepped closer to her. He felt himself shaking slightly as she gently cupped her face in between his hands. Here goes everything.

And, with more courage than he had ever thought he would have, Drew slowly leaned in and rested his lips on hers.

May's eyes snapped open. She had asked for the truth... and he had kissed her. But, why? And why did May like it so much? But then it dawnd on her; it was why she had always looked forward to the next contest, why she had found herself always wanting to impress him, even when she was with Joey, why she hadn't allowed herself to kiss Joey, why Drew had always been in her dreams. It was because she loved him. Her heart was his, before she met Joey, while she was dating Joey...

And it always will be his, May thought as she closed her eyes again.

The moments it took for May's epephany to hit home were some of the most terrifying ones of his life. Then, May kissed him back. Drew was so shocked that he momentarily opened his eyes again, but then he closed them again as they fell into their first real kiss. May reached up and gently enclosed her hands around Drew's wrists.

After what could've been an eternity, but was really only forty-five seconds, they broke apart. May looked down at her feet, blushing furiously. Drew laughed, and gently brought her face up to his. Staring straight into her eyes, he said. "To put the whole thing simply, I...I... I'm crazy about you." That was as good as saying 'I love you' right?

May stared at him for a moment, then a smile lit up her beautiful face. "I never would've thought I'd admit it, but... Drew, I've been head over heels for you since I met you." Well, 'head over heels,' 'I love you', close enough, right?

Drew looked surprised for a moment, but then he grinned. "Well, then..." He threw his arms around her waist and pulled her close for another kiss. May smiled as she put her arms up around his neck.

Drew quickly pinched himself on the arm to make sure that he wasn't dreaming. He had pinched the spot where he had dug his nail, and though it hurt A LOT, he was glad to not wake up. He felt the pieces of his shatterd heart come together, and Drew might as well have been in heaven.

Unknown to them, a ways away on the boardwalk, they were being watched by all of their friends, new and old.

"Aww, that's so cute!" Tohru said happily, leaning into Kyo's shoulder.

"Yeah, it is!" Hiyono said, putting her arms around Ayumu's neck. A moment later the two were kissing, completely oblivious to Bethany and Jack making gagging faces. (A/N- hahaha, hypocrites!)

"So, does this mean that they're going to be dating from now on?" Ash wondered.

Misty hit him hard with her mallet. "Honestly, Ash, I love you, but sometimes you're so stupid!"

"Yes, it means that they're together," Soledad explained.

"It's about time!" Harley agreed.

"I'm so happy for my cousin!" Destiny said happily, holding Scott's hand.

"You're his cousin?!" Mikan gasped.

"Duh. Green hair, green eyes." Natsume said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh, and Natsume?" Mikan suddenly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks for singing that song for me!"

"Young love." Antonio said with a sigh as he glanced at Catherine. She suddenly threw her arms around his neck and gave him a five second kiss.

"Just wanted to do that." Cat said as she pulled away, Antonio looking shocked. He had to grab onto the fence to keep on his feet.

If May and Drew had broken apart, they probably could have seen their friends watching them, and gotten pretty mad before they saw the romance that just broke out among members of them. They could have seen Sabrina break up with Joey, and slap him on the other side of the face May had. They could have seen the beautiful, fairy-tale like sinset that shone behind them, which seemed to illuminate them with a golden light.

But they didn't look around them. They didn't break apart. And at that moment, they never wanted to.
