Five More Minutes

Tsukasa: I love this one. Too bad it's so short.
Karen: Aren't you going to explain?
Tsukasa: Nope! Let's get right to it!
Karen: We do not own Pokémon nor the picture that inspired this fanfictions!

So simple are the days when you can just lie down under a tree and rest. Not deeply, not softly, just enough into sleep to feel the warmth of the sun creeping around the shade of the tree's leafy branches, yet still be asleep enough to dream the happiest of dreams.

The young man scratched the back of his head as he slept, leaving his hand where it was once the itch was gone, and his other hand moved further out to his right, poking his companion in the head, though it didn't wake her.

The girl did shift, however, rolling off her back and onto her side towards her friend. She let out a sigh and a quiet groan before curling up and diving back into sleep.

The two couldn't help but feel each other's presence in their sleep, both finding themselves in dreams where the other resided. Be it the boy's of him battling her, to the girl's of her challenging a double contest with him, the both of them smiled happily as their dreams progressed.

In the distance their Pokémon danced and played, tackling each other and playing tag. Just like their trainers, the two hadn't a care in the world, though after some time they did grow tired of their games. Pikachu and Eevee both approached their trainers, Pikachu poking Ash in the head in an attempt to wake him up.

"Ugh..." Ash groaned sleepily as his eyes flittered open to look up at Pikachu, "Give me five more minutes Pikachu..." Ash said before closing his eyes again.

Pikachu and Eevee looked at each other, then both glared at Ash, ready to try stronger methods of waking him up... until May, responding to the sound of Ash's voice, took Ash's hand then snuggled up to him, her smile so adorable that Pikachu and Eevee couldn't help but smile. They decided to leave them alone; it wouldn't kill them to wait a little longer.

As the two wandered off to explore the surrounding area, May giggled and whispered in her sleep, "I love you, Ash..."

Ash smiled at the words; he was actually still awake. He remained silent, simply looking up at the tree they were under, making a mental note to come back to this spot one day. One day, he thought, this tree would be a great spot to make a memory that would change the two's lives forever... "I love you too, May..." he finally said before returning to sleep.
