I'm glad that people seemed to have liked the previous chapter. I apologize if this chapter is too short and seems rushed. And I'm SO SORRY it took so long to update. Blame my muse. *shakes a threatening fist at it*

Those breaks were "nonsensical" things for humor, yet some will actually prelude to something that will come up later, like the last chapter did.

Please note that this the first time I've ever really "written" Drew's character, so I apologize profusely if you believe he isn't acting in character. I'll try my very hardest on this.

Chapter Two

"So...you two figure out a compromise to whatever argument it was that you were having?" Brock called out, causing both of them to jump when they entered the room. It appeared to be that Brock and Max had given up on going back to sleep.

"Something like that." May said quickly, determined to pretend that this was all a horrible dream and none of this was actually happening. She started toward the ladder, then remembering that she was now in Ash's body and climbing back on top of the top bunk would of been weird, she sat down on the edge of the lower bunk. Pikachu came over, looking up at her. "Pika?"

"Uh, d-don't worry about it Pikachu! It's nothing! Really!" May said quickly, earning an alarmed look from the Pikachu, which made May realize that just now, Pikachu heard what appeared to be Ash speaking with May's voice. "Uh, sore throat! Heh heh..." she quickly covered up in her best imitation of Ash's voice, earning many stares from everyone in the room, and she was sure she could see Ash facepalming in the corner.

Pikachu gave her a slightly suspicious look before jumping down from the bed as Max turned to Ash. "So, how's the head injury?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you hit your head when you fell of the bed, May?"

"Oh yeah, it's nothing. Although somehow I have the strangest feeling that colliding into Ma-I mean, Ash, may have given me enough head trauma to make me think I've somehow switched bodies with him." Ash said sarcastically, earning a glare from May. Max stared at him before shrugging.

"Whatever, Sis. Now that you've woken us all up, we might as well go get breakfast."

As they began to get dressed (Ash was forced to leave quickly, due to the fact he was in May's body, who obviously couldn't be in the same room with boys getting dressed; vice-versa, May made quite a show of having to leave because of 'sudden stomach problems' so that she wouldn't have to be changing in front of them either)

"Do you notice something weird going on with the two of them?" Max asked Brock when they left.

"I believe the answer to that would be teenage hormones. To think that Ash's finally kicked in after all this time..." Brock commented with a knowing look, earning a stare from Max who would rather not know more about things like that.

The two of them were waiting in the hall when Ash and May came back and together they set off for a little resturant down the street.

As a young girl was leaving a Pokemon Center in the next town over, she was startled to discover that there had been a mixup and this was indeed not her Squirtle.

"A-I mean, May..."

"What?"

"I'm pretty sure you've heard of a fork before, haven't you?" May asked as she watched Ash eating his eggs without a fork. Normally she was used to that sort of behavior from Ash, but since he was in her body...

Ash glared before quickly whispering under his breath as fast as he could. "What's wrong with the way I'm eating?"

"Only that you are eating like a total pig and I don't eat like that!" she hissed with as much emphasis as possible. When they earned stares from a few people, (except for Brock and Max who had decided that they really didn't want to know just yet what their problem was), 'May' smiled sweetly as 'Ash' would said, "Don't you people need to turn your attention back to your own tables!?"

The rest of the breakfast past without much incident, except for when May suddenly stood, grabbing Ash by the arm, saying that she needed a conference with him, earning even more stares from the people around them, who they quickly glared at so that the other customers would return to their meals.

"What's wrong?" Ash asked. It was weird seeing how nervous May looked, especially in his body.

"I, um...have to go to the bathroom." she whispered meekly.

Ash made a face. "Why did you need to tell me that?"

May gestured to their current predicament, and realization dawned on him. "...Oh."

"W-w-what do I do?"

"OK, first thing, don't panic. Secondly, don't stutter. I don't stutter. Thirdly, we can figure something out. Just...ah...do what you normally do when you're in own body."

May's eye twitched slightly. "Ash...you are aware that girls have a different anatomy than guys, right?"

"Of course I do? How do you think I would explain these?" Ash hissed, gesturing vaguely to his new chest, which earned a swat on the arm from May.

"OK, sorry. Just...don't look when you do it if that's what's bothering you. And...you'll need to be standing." He added, praying that there was no one around to hear them. May winced before taking in a deep breath and quickly pushing her way into the men's restroom. Ash listened by the door just in case, but after a few minutes or so, May came back, a deep crimson blush on her face and she refused to look at Ash.

"You didn't...ah..."

"No, I didn't look if that's what you're wondering, Ash." she said, sounding vaguely disgusted by the thought.

"Good...good..."

"...I can't wait until this is over."

"Same here."

"...Never speak of this again?"

"Agreed."

Somewhere in Johto, two college students tipped over a Miltank and took off running before anyone would be the wiser.

"Would you like anything else sir?"

The young man looked up from his coffee with a smile. "No thanks, just bring the bill."

"As you wish." the waitress bowed before walking off to get his check. He unconsciously found his chin resting in the palm of his hand as he stared out the window, watching people walk past the diner. He couldn't help but feel distracted. What was wrong with him lately? His thoughts seemed to keep wandering and he wasn't sure why. Of course, it probably had something to do with...

"Here's your bill sir."

He turned to the waitress that offered the little black book to him. He opened it and hastily stuffed some notes in it before standing up. "Thanks."

The waitress took the book back, suddenly looking mildly puzzled at him, yet he didn't notice that she was frowning. "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

He couldn't help but smirk. "On TV, perhaps. Ever watch any Pokemon Contests?"

The waitress looked thoughtful for a minute. "Yeah, I think that's where I know you from."

She suddenly snapped her fingers. "That's right, I remember now! You were in the Hoenn Grand Festival! You were really good! Let me guess, you're here for the Kanto Grand Festival a week from now, right?"

"You guessed right."

"I hope you do your best then." she bowed once more before walking back over to a fellow waiter standing by that had been watching the whole exchange with interest, however he thought he had spotted the waitress looking back and giving him a slightly dirty look. He stepped outside, mildly puzzled by the waitress's odd behavior. As he walked down the street, hands in pockets, he looked toward the nearby Pokemon Center down the block.

"I wonder if May's in town."

Back at the diner, the two waiters were chatting.

"So who was that?" her friend asked her, elbows leaning on the counter. The waitress was still watching the boy walking down the street.

"It's him. From the Hoenn Grand Festival. I believe his name is Drew."

"Oh yeah, I saw that on TV too. He's pretty good, isn't he?"

"I don't think so." she scoffed. "He's too...stuck up."

"Pfft, you seemed rather courteous to him a few seconds ago."

"It's part of the job to be polite to customers." she pointed out, tossing back a sheet of short blue hair, looking vaguely thoughtful for a minute. "If you need me, I'll be on break. There's something I need to look into." she said with a rather meaningful look at her friend. Her friend winked at her as if telling her that the coast was clear. He pulled a plate toward him to wash with the nearby dish towel, humming some tune. "You know, I'm surprised no one's gotten on you about leaving the ocean."

The waitress glared at him. "Oh for the love of Mew-"

"Yes?" he asked with a sarcastic grin.

"You know what I meant. Don't be bringing that up right now."

"Fine, can I ask why you chose to disguise yourself as a female waitress then?"

"...I thought the uniform was pretty", she mumbled in a low voice. The other sighed.

"All this seems rather unnecessary. And since when have you had experience with teenage hormones?" he couldn't help but ask.

She simply rolled her eyes before heading out the door, letting it slam behind her with a bang. The waiter simply smirked and continued to wash the plate in front of him.

"Say what you want, Mana', but I still think that he's pretty good."

A Geodude, a Phanphy, and a Nosepass all walk into a cave...oh wait, I'm sorry, everyone's heard that joke before.

"So now that we're all fed, shall we begin to start training for May's next contest?" Brock asked.

May stopped, shock setting in. Damn it, that's right! I have a contest in a few days! Oh god, what am I going to do!?

She was so preoccupied with her thoughts that, without paying attention, she smacked into someone walking in front of her. The two of them fell on to the ground.

"Hey, watch where you're going..."

May froze from where she was on the ground. That voice...

And sure enough, she was looking at Drew, who was also staring at her in amazement.

"Drew?" she asked in astonishment.

But the answer she got wasn't what she was expecting, for he looked past her, and at Ash instead.

"May?"

The same thought seemed to run through both Ash and May's minds.

Oh...crap...
