"Mom, we need to leave in like, NOW, if we're going to pick up Dawn from the docks!" May said in a rush to see her best friend.
"Okay, okay, let's go. It's just like ten minutes away, what's the rush?" May's mother asked.
"What if they get there early since the waters are great at this time of year?" May asked already out the door.
Her mom quickly followed behind her, "Hey Max-he's not home. Oh, he's growing up so fast," Max was at his girlfriend, Molly's 'd been dating for such a long time, but his mom always seems to forget. May's mom got to the car and May was already inside, "Who told you the currents were great at this time of year?"
"The boat captain last year. Remember? When we came over here, he told it over the announcements," May said checking her phone.
"Oh right. How could I have forgotten," her mother said sarcastically. She drove down to the Lilycove docks and just told May she'd wait for her and Dawn in the car while May went and got her.
"Okay, remember, she's staying for the month. Oh, I wish dad would take a vacation and visit us this summer," May said thinking about her dad.
"He's a very busy man, May," her mom said trying to get her discouraged and stop talking about the subject.
"I know, I know," May said as they were getting close to the docks.
As May and her mother drove up to the Lilycove harbour, "Oh my god! I am so excited!"
"I know you are, May," Her mother said trying to find a parking space.
"So, are you coming up there with me?" May asked as she was looking for the closet one to the docks.
"Nah, you're going to be quick, so I'll just wait in the car for you guys, no worries," Her mother said getting the spot.
"No worries? Dawn isn't even here and she's rubbing off on you!" May laughed and got out of the car, "Be right back, mom!"
May's mother sent her a nod of, "okay," and watched her daughter thinking about how grown up she looks as she walked.
-
"Are you here yet?!" May asked, texting her friend anxiously.
Dawn was close enough to get reception and respond to May's text, "I'm close enough to text you back! I'm so excited!"
May smiled and went to the spot where Dawn's boat would be, "Mee too!"
They stopped texting, and May could see the boat in the distance. She couldn't wait! She was seeing her best friend again, she hasn't seen her in four months, and had so much to tell her! What happened at the dance, what Brendan did, and most importantly her feelings towards Drew. Dawn was always happy to hear those things and when May called her that night to tell her, she told May to wait until they saw each other in person so she could see her reactions. They were going to be great, considering the topics.
Dawn was at the front of the boat scoping out for her friend. Dawn saw her wearing her bandana. Since it was the summer time, May wore white short shorts and a red, white, and blue sailor tank top, with her infamous red bandana. Dawn wore a pretty sundress that she got at Forever 21.
Finally, the boat got the the harbour and May got up, from the bench she was sitting at while she was waiting, to greet her friend to Lilycove.
"Dawn!" May said as she was running up to hug her.
"May! I've missed you so much!" Dawn said as she dropped her things and returned the hug.
"I feel like it's been forever, geez. Oh yeah, cute dress!" May said happily.
"Thanks, and cute shirt, where did you get it?" Dawn said as she picked up her bags and started to walk back to the car with May.
"I got it at this cute little store, Delia's, we should go there while you're over here in Lilycove!" May said as she got some of Dawn's bags, too.
"So, what are we doing today?" Dawn asked happily.
"You want to come to the infamous diner?" May said like it was a scandal to go there.
"Of course, my dear!" Dawn said happily joking around with her friend.
May and Dawn got dropped off to the diner, since May's mom had errands to run, and they sat in the spot May would usually sit when she wasn't hanging out with anyone.
"So May, what's going on in your life?" Dawn asked excitedly.
"Oh come one, tell me what's happening in yours!" May said trying to get some gossip out of her.
"Well, usual Petalburg High shenanigans, but I'm not in any of them, so no need to worry!" Dawn said joking around.
May laughed, "Oh yeah! Are you hungry?"
"Eh, a little bit. Why? Are you going to take my order?" Dawn said jokingly at first, but then she forgot that May actually worked there. Too bad, it was too late by the time May got up and got serious, "You know, I was kidding.."
May brushed her off, "It's okay, it's just for us. I'm not taking anyone else's order. My mom gave me the month off."
"Oh wow, what's your specials today?" Dawn asked looking at an order.
"I suggest, since it's lunch..chicken fingers. They're pretty great, for anytime of the day actually," May said happily.
"Okay, let's get that!" Dawn said pointing at it on the menu.
"You're seeing the master at work here, let me take your menu and I'll be right back," May said taking it from her and acting like the good waitress she was.
May got to the counter and saw Ruby and Wally, "Hey you guys!"
"Oh, hey May! Whatcha up to?" Ruby asked.
"Nothing really, but can I get two orders of chicken fingers for me and my friend?" May asked looking back at Dawn who was just checking her phone.
"Oh! Ruby, guess who you missed came in, you doof!" Wally said jokingly hitting Ruby.
"Sorry May, but you missed her too, stupid!" Ruby said hitting him back.
May laughed, "It's okay, just no violence on the job. Ok?"
They both laughed and nodded that they wouldn't do that again, "Two chicken fingers are coming right up!"
"Drew! Why do we always have to come here? You know I have problems coming here!" Brianna whinned.
"It's one of the only decent food joints in this town, c'mon. This place is great. And I've been taking you here ever since we've been dating. Let's go," Drew said grabbing her hand and practically dragging her to the diner.
Dawn could see them from the window. She did some checking up on Drew and has seen some pictures of him online. Dawn could tell who he was by his hair. May always called him the grasshead when they were on the phone. She gasped and texted May to get back to there seat.
May saw the text and saw Drew and Brianna in the corner of her eye and her face got all red. She thought Drew and Brianna were going to break up by the time the dance was over, and it's been a few weeks. May didn't know whether Drew liked her, and was actually being sincere at the dance, or just doing that to spare her feelings. But she couldn't deny her feelings for him anymore, "Hey Dawn, it's Drew isn't it? You saw him?"
Dawn's eyes bugged out, "Yeah! And who is the TRAMP he's with?"
"That's his girlfriend Brianna. Do you want to get to talking about them now? Because I just have so much to spill!" May said anxiously.
"If they sit far enough away, yes spill it. But if they're near us, you can text me. Either way, I need to know now! If he likes you, he needs to tell you! Stop playing you!" Dawn said getting serious.
Dawn was watching as Drew and Brianna walked in. By the look on Brianna's face, she didn't want to be there. Drew always liked going to the diner for May, to get even the slightest glimpse of her.
Ruby was giving May and Dawn her food and saw that Drew had walked in and she had to go to his table, "Hey Drew, usual for yah?"
"Yeah, thanks Ruby," Drew said just looking at May's table. She was with someone he didn't know, and he relaly wanted to know who she was with.
"And you?" Ruby asked rudely. Since May had told her and Wally everything that's been going on, during late nights at the diner, Ruby couldn't help but be mean to someone who's stopping her friend from having love.
"I'll just have what Drew gets," Brianna said handing her the menu.
"Okay, that's 20 jalapenos, anchovies on your cheeseburger, and ketchup in your drink? I gotcha," Ruby said sarcastically and walking away. It made Drew smirk at his girlfriend.
"Drew, do you really order that?" Brianna asked.
"Of course, how else do you think I keep my breathe nice?" Drew said going along with Ruby's joke.
Brianna was nervous as to what Ruby was actually going to give her. Drew smirked and tried to start a regular conversation with his girlfriend, but it didn't seem like she would listen, when suddenly everyone in the diner heard, "OH MY GOD. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" from May's general area. And truth be told, it was Dawn reacting to what May had texted her. Drew and Brianna were pretty close, so it was safer just to text Dawn what happened.
You could hear May trying to shush her friend but it wouldn't work. Dawn just kept on yelling, "HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT? DON'T YOU WANT TO FEEL CONTENT WITH HOW YOU FEEL? I SURE AS HELL KNOW THAT YOU DON'T RIGHT NOW. AND HE NEEDS TO GROW A PAIR AND JUST TELL YOU HOW HE FEELS. I'M SO SORRY FOR YELLING BUT HOLY ARCEUS, HOW DID YOU LET THAT HAPPEN?!"
Dawn didn't approve of how May was handling things, just waiting for Drew to do something. May just let him do whatever he wanted and play her like a violin. Dawn didn't want to see her friend get hurt, and she didn't know what else to do.
"It's not like he's going to tell me if he has a girlfriend.."May said quietly.
"If he did tell you that he was going to break up with her soon, and he isn't, then I don't see what's stopping him when he has a perfectly good girl who's been right in front of him for a year!" Dawn said lowering her voice and calming down.
"Thanks Dawn, but you know. Sometimes people don't o what they say they're going to do," May said angrily.
Drew and Brianna could hear what Dawn yelled and Brianna had to question him about it, "Geez May and her friend are sooo loud. Don'tcha think, Drew?"
Drew was just thinking about what Dawn had said. He obviously knew it was about him and he forgot he told her that he'd break up with Brianna.
Brianna hit him, "Drew?!"
He noticed her, "Oh, Brianna. What did you say?"
"May and her friend are loud. Right?" Brianna asked like he was stupid.
"Maybe the volume in here is just too low," Drew said flicking his hair.
"Are you seriously defending them right now?" Brianna asked. Over the time of the dance and now, Brianna and Drew had been going on and off. Usually it was Brianna breaking up with him and then desperately going back to him, and since Drew forgot what he told May at the dance he would get back together with her.
"Well what do you mean by defending?" Drew asked seriously.
Brianna huffed and happily changed the subject, "So, movies tonight, right?"
"Right. Happy anniversary, babe," Drew said sarcastically.
"It would be happy if I knew what you had planned out besides this, you know, coming to the diner with you sometimes, don't you loose the spark that makes you come here?" Brianna asked sensibly.
"I'll never loose it, it's always going to be here, you should've realized that by now," Drew said trying to imply that he was talking about May. Brianna was just as dense as her.
"Sure I have," Brianna said looking at Ruby who was holding there food.
"Drew, here's your usual, and Brianna here is what Drew got," Ruby said as she set the plates down.
"What! I thought you got all of those ridiculous things!" Brianna said dramatically.
"Are you serious? You are do dense," Drew said nodding at Ruby as a thank you and looking at his girlfriend.
"Hey!" Brianna said trying to be cute. Her innocence was what Drew liked about her, no matter how much she got on his nerves.
After eating lunch at the diner, Dawn and May walked back to the house.
"Where's the little one?" Dawn asked as she sat on the couch.
"At his girlfriend's house. Can you believe it? The little runt having a girlfriend!" May informed her friend.
"He's growing up so fast," Dawn said nostalgically. She remembered the times that she would go over to May's house and you could hear Max and his friends play video games from his room.
"So, what are we doing today?" Dawn asked her friend, her was sitting on the recliner.
"I thought you were going to be tired from your trip so I didn't plan anything today," May said shyly.
"Oh, hehe. No need to worry. Which room am I staying in? I'll unpack for a while then," Dawn said getting her two suitcases and heading up the stairs.
"I'll show you," May said rushing in front of her. They went up the stairs and across the hall from May's room was the guest room, where Dawn was staying, "Need some help?"
"Nah, it's just some quick stuff. No need to worry!" Dawn said pushing away her help. May ending up sitting on the bed and just going through her phone while Dawn was putting away her things.
May saw Drew's name in her phone and decided to be rambunctious and text him. She hasn't had a real deep conversation with Drew ever since the Monday after spring break. Before she did anything, she asked her trusty adviser on boys what to do, "Should I text Drew?"
Dawn continued to pack, "Well, do you feel like talking to him?"
"Well yeah, but what if he's with Brianna?" May asked.
"Who cares? Where's the May I know who didn't?" Dawn asked toughly.
"She's still here! I don't care! I'm going to text him," May said going to Drew's number for the text, "But what should I say?"
"What do you feel like talking about?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know. Want to hang out with him later? I could ask if he could bring his his friends, too and it could be like, a thing," May said trying to explain that she wanted to see him without the cling-on, Brianna.
"Sure. It's not like you had anything planned for me today," Dawn said jokingly.
May laughed and texted the grasshead, "Hey. You wanna do something later?"
Drew and Brianna were just getting into there seats for the movie when Drew's phone buzzed.
"Drew! The movie's about to start!" Brianna said trying to get him to turn off his friend.
"I know, I know, don't worry. I'm going to silence it," Drew said looking at his phone. He saw that it was May. He had to check it, "Hey. You wanna do something later?" Of course he wanted to do something with May, and he was getting sick and tired of Brianna's nonsense. He texted her back, "Sure, when and where?"
"Who is it?" Brianna asked.
Drew had to come up with a quick lie, "It was Gary telling me about his adventures with Ash in the Kanto region. Those two were trouble wherever they walk in," Drew thought how silly it was he knew that song and Kenny was rubbing off on him, "But hey, Bri, can we go talk in the hall for a minute?"
Brianna's heart raced, "Now? The movie's just about to start."
Drew looked her straight in the eyes, "Yes. Now."
Brianna was afraid of what he was going to tell her. She tried to drift into a happy place, but she was thinking of worst case scenarios. And the worst case, Drew breaking up with her. She was going to ballistic.
They got out into the hall and Drew started to speak, "Bri, you know how much fun we've had together over the past few months? A lot, but-"
Brianna interupted him, "Are you breaking up with me?!"
"Yes, glad you understand," Drew said smirking and flicking his hair.
"No! You are not breaking up with me and NOT on our anniversary even!" Brianna said raising her voice.
"I'm sorry that I can't have those feelings I had before for you anymore. It's gone," Drew said trying to calm her down with his apology.
"Tell me why. Why are you breaking up with me? ON OUR ANNIVERSARY," Brianna asked furiously.
Drew walked out the movie theaters and out the door, since he knew he wasn't going back inside. Brianna followed him for the explanation, "I've been telling you, the feelings are gone!"
"What a cliche, they're not gone! I'm still in your heart and you know it!" Brianna said trying to prove him wrong.
"No you're not! May is!" Drew yelled.
Brianna's face dropped and she stopped yelling, "You like May, don't you?"
Drew tried not to look at his now ex-girlfriend, "Yes," That was the first time the he actually admitted it to another human being.
Brianna tried not to cry in front of Drew, but she loved him so much that she couldn't take it. She collapsed on the nearest bench in her tears, "Does she *sniff* make you happy?"
Drew tried to comfort her by rubbing her back, but Brianna kept pushing him away, "Yeah. She makes me really happy."
Brianna tried to stop crying for a moment to smile for him, even after this break up, whenever Drew was happy, so was she, "How long have you liked her?"
"I've thought about that for a while, and I've liked her since the moment I met her," Drew said thinking about her.
"So you never really liked me at all did you?! Was I just some, cover-up, so people would stop asking you about her?!" Brianna asked getting up from the bench. She had stopped crying, and started to get angry.
"No! I really liked you, too. It's just that May was just always around and my thoughts just kind of ended up going to her most of the time," Drew said. He knew the way he said it sounded really rude, but by the time he realized that it was too late.
Brianna slapped him, "That's for using me. Goodbye, Drew Hayden," She furiously walked off and that gave Drew a chance to feel his face.
He used the front camera off his phone to look at the mark she left him, it was slightly pink, but it would eventually fade away soon. Drew checked to see what May responded with, "Diner at 4-ish? And could you bring the guys, or a friend or something?"
Drew was wondering why May would want him to bring a friend. Hoping that she liked him, he asked why, and she responded with, "Because my friend from Petalburg is over, and I don't want her to be lonely. duh. ;p"
Drew smiled with that text and responded with, "Lonely? Are you implying something there Ms. Sunshine? ;)"
Back at where May was at, she blushed, "Don't call me that! And maybe I am, and maybe I'm not. You'll just never know. ;D"
Drew was on his way home now while texting her back, "Surrre, anyways, the guys are all busy and so will someone you don't know be okay?"
May replied, "Yeah. I don't want to be too friendly with him. If I ended up talking him up, maybe Dawn will end up falling in love with him when she already has this great guy back home."
Drew smirked with the perfect response, "That's just the effect of me. People just end up falling in love!"
May and Dawn got to the diner again and were waiting for Drew and his friend. May wasn't sure if he was going to bring the guys since she heard that they were all busy. At four o'clock, she saw the grasshead and another friend of his walk up. And naturally she didn't know who it was.
They got inside and saw the girls.
"Hey May, May's friend, this is my friend, Tracy. Tracy, this is May and her friend," Drew said.
May and Dawn got up and May introduced themselves,"Hey Tracy, Drew, this is my friend Dawn."
Dawn awkwardly waved, "Hi!"
Drew smiled at May and May saw him and smiled, too. Dawn noticed that and said, "I'd love to have a chat with you Drew, but I'd like to get to know Tracy more! C'mon Tracy, let's go!" Dawn grabbed his hand and ended up sitting at the counter with Wally and Ruby watching May and Drew, nonchalantly, of course.
"So what's going on with them? Why'd we separate?" Tracy asked.
"They've been secretly in-love with each other for a year. Now that Drew and Brianna are broken up, I think it's their time," Dawn said.
"Oh no! They're going outside!" Ruby said pointing at that.
May and Drew obviously knew that the others were watching, that's why they ended up going outside. They just sat on the bench in front of the diner.
"So, me and Brianna broke up," Drew started saying awkwardly.
"I saw it on facebook. She's talking up a storm on you in the comments," May said look at him.
"I figured. She's just full of drama. By any chance, did she say any details about our break up?" Drew asked looking into her deep blue eyes.
"Not really. Just that it was at that movies," May said trying to remember what Brianna said.
"Oh okay," Drew said with relief.
"What are we doing?" May asked almost laughing.
That made Drew smile, "We're talking, duh."
"I know, I know," May started, "But what are we doing? You must obviously know that I've gained some feelings for you by now, and that's why you're putting me through this awkward torture."
Drew's eyes got wide, "You like me?"
May blushed and quickly looked away,"Did you not know that?"
Drew started to move his hand towards hers,"No, I didn't, but May, don't look away. It's okay, I like you back."
May looked at him and smiled and they just smiled at each other, "Remember how you tried to kiss me at that party?"
"I remember that brutal reject, yes," Drew said trying to lighten the mood.
May smiled, "I didn't want to reject you, you know?"
"And it was because of Lyra, yeah. I know," Drew said.
May let out a good sigh,"Okay, okay good."
Drew's hand held May's, and it made her blush, "Are you ready for this, May?"
May gave him a confused look, "Ready for-"
Drew stopped her sentence with a kiss. You could hear cheering from the inside of the diner and when they stopped kissing they laughed.
May laughed," You want to go back inside now?"
"Wait. Are we together? I kind of just kissed you, and didn't say anything about it. Did you like it?" Drew asked, he got a pokeball out, "Roserade!"
"What are you doing?" May asked. She watched as Drew got a rose from Roserade, "Huh. That's how you do it."
Drew gave May a rose, "May, will you go out with me?"
That made May blush, "Of course I will, grasshead."
She grabbed his hand as they headed inside and they were ready for a grilling of question from there friends.
"How did you know you liked May?" Wally asked as he was standing next to his freshly asked girlfriend, Ruby.
Drew replied smirking, "She was the girl with the blue eyes, of course."
