I'M BAAAACK!!!

I would say I'm sorry for my hiatus, but most of you know that I'm sorry
already, not to mention if I had a choice, it would've never happened.

So I'm sorry. 

I'm about to start a new fic based on a book by Agatha Christie (I read
the play and loved it) but I wanted to finish this off first.

Well here is chapter 2. I wrote this awhile ago and I posted it on
fanfiction.net but I never ended up posting here. I dunno why.

So here it is, I will try finishing it today.

Chapter 2: My Once Dead Husband

     May didn't know which was worse, having to listen to Brendan freak
out about a nightmare or being stopped at 9:30 at night by Team Magma.
She guessed that she should've copied her original thirteen year old
actions and camped out and let Brendan have a nightmare about her being
dead.

      It all started when May and Brendan decided to take a rest. They
were only about 15 minutes away from Petalburg, so a break couldn't have
hurt.

     Well, it did end up hurting, but not as much as it could have.

FLASHBACK (A.N: I didn't mention this in my last chapter but almost
every chapter of Hold On will be used as a flashback here. The last
flashbacks were Chapters 1 and 5. This is part of chapter 7!)

       May was tired and decided to stay in Rustboro that night.
"Brendan, I'm staying in Rustboro. Come meet me in the Pokemon Center
here," she said over the phone. But Brendan, also, was too tired and
stayed in Petalburg.

     That morning, at the crack of dawn, May got up once again to find
Brendan the perfect present. She walked onto route 104, dawdling by the
flower shop when she was knocked over. May winced in pain, her ankle
hurt.

     When she opened her eyes, a Team Magma grunt stood above her. She
opened her mouth to scream, but the grunt put a gloved hand over her
mouth.

     "MAY!!" a voice yelled. May looked over and Brendan was running
towards her.

     Brendan grabbed Mudkip's Poke Ball and released the mud cat. Mudkip
growled at the grunt. The grunt forgot about May and she took her
opportunity to escape. May limped to Brendan's side but the grunt stood
still, cursing and enraged.

     "Let's make it a double battle, don't you agree?" The duo nodded,
letting out their starters. The grunt let out a Poochyena and a Numel.
May rolled her eyes.

     "WHY a Poochyena?" she asked the sky. Mudkip used a Water Gun on
the Numel and Torchic Embered the Poochyena. Numel was knocked out cold
but Poochyena was good. The two starters looked at each and nodded,
while their trainers looked on, confused.

      Both Mudkip and Torchic charged up energy and let out powerful
blasts. The Poochyena was knocked out before it could even attack May.
May let out a sigh of relief. The Magma grunt told them he'd be back,
handed them some money and ran off.

     The sun was setting, May's hair blowing in the wind. The sky was
painted many colors and the moon began to come out. May flung her arms
around Brendan's neck and kissed him. 

     "Thanks," she told him and with that,
she ran towards Petalburg City. Brendan didn't move, he was too shocked
and he stared after May, a lovestruck look upon his face.

END FLASHBACK

     'That kiss was probably what started my relationship with Brendan.
Would things have been different if we had just been friends?' May
wondered.

     Wondering could've been deadly, simply because that was when Team
Magma decided to attack. She went over with a crash as a member grabbed
for her purse. May blinked, wondering if her eyes were deceiving her.
"Wally?" she asked.

     "Well, well, well... It's the Petalburg gym leader's daughter...
Mariah?" questioned the Magma member, who was indeed Wally.

     "It's May! DUH! We've known each other since we were about three,
our parents are friends... Does that ring a bell through your thick
skull?"

     "Nope, I don't hear no ringing!" smirked Wally. 

     "My parents are dead. I've never known no May."

     "Gawd, you're even more of a jerk than you used to be. I don't see
why I married you, you drunken, lazy... weirdo!" she yelled.

     "WHAT?!" cried both Wally and Brendan in shock. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN
MARRIED?!"
