.
May opened her mouth to tell Misty the truth about what really happened during the drama play, but there was a nagging feeling inside of her that made her think of the consequences and how Misty would react to the news.
~~
Scenario 1:
“The kiss was fake. Drew and I aren’t together,” confessed May.
There was a tense and unbearable silence.
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!” roared an angry Misty, with flames shooting from her mouth. “HOW DARE YOU DECEIVE ME AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WATCHING YOU ON THAT STAGE?!?! YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ACTING! I’LL NEVER LET YOU ACT WITH DREW AGAIN, IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO!”
“Nooo! Don’t eat me!” cried May, cowering in fear.
May shuddered and almost cried at the thought.
~~
Scenario 2:
“The kiss was fake. Drew and I aren’t together,” confessed May.
Misty fell to her knees, her eyes filled with shock and welling with tears.
“Mist? You okay?” asked May.
“I… (sob)… can’t believe… (sob)… you two would do this to me!” sobbed Misty, gasping for breath in between her cries.
“Listen, Misty. I’m really sorry-”
“No! Don’t say anymore! There’s no more point in living if you two aren’t together!” Misty cried.
“What are you saying, Mist?” asked May.
“I can’t live in a world where you two aren’t together!” bursted Misty
“But… you’ve been doing that just fine before the play…”
“No! Say no more! Tell Ash that I’m sorry. Goodbye, May,” said Misty, as she ran out of the mall.
“Wait! Misty!” yelled May.
Is Misty really that melodramatic, thought May. Well, you can’t be too safe.

Scenario 3:
“The kiss was fake. Drew and I aren’t together,” confessed May.
“Oh, well that’s just dandy!” said Misty. “I’m sorry for giving you so much trouble, May. Honest, I am.”
“No, it’s okay…” said May, feeling weirded out.
“Well, let’s just enjoy our time shopping together and then we can go eat all the fudge we want!” chirped Misty.
“Yay!” said May, as she and Misty skipped along, through the mall.
That sounds pretty good, dreamed May, but that’s also pretty creepy on Misty’s part…
~~
All in all, thinking before she acted didn’t really get her anywhere, other than the fact that none of the possible reactions seemed too good. Misty would either be angry, depressed, or really creepy, and May didn’t want to have to experience any of these reactions alone. She would just have to bear with Misty’s antics before they met up with Drew and Ash.
....
Drew sighed and leaned in to May’s ear and whispered, “You still haven’t told her?”
May whispered back, “It was too scary to tell her when it was just me and her. But we might as well spill the beans now.”
“Are you two lovebirds whispering sweet nothings to each other?” giggled Misty.
“No, actually…” began Drew, who then nudged May with his elbow.
“Um…” said May. She took a deep breath, and confessed, “The kiss was fake. Drew and I aren’t together.”
Then, there was a very awkward and tense silence.
Oh no, she’s gonna eat me!, feared May.
“What?” asked Misty, thinking she didn’t hear correctly.
“You heard her. Kiss was fake. May and I are just friends. End of story. See ya!” said Drew, as he grabbed his bags, took May’s hand, and dragged the both of them out of Misty’s firing range.
....
Drew and May successfully escaped Misty’s supposed wrath and were now catching their breath as they sat on a bench.
“Well, I think she took that pretty well. She didn’t coming running after us,” said Drew.
“Yeah! She didn’t eat me or run away or act all creepy!” said May.
“…What?” asked Drew.
“Oh… um… nothing,” said a flustered May, realizing how silly that sounded.
