The awkward silence continued to surround them as they arrived the next town.

As they arrived, they saw some people whispering and silently giggling and squealing as they looked at them, like they were talking about them.
Sure, there was always some people talking about them before, but this time, it felt different.

As they continued to walk, Drew asked May, "Hey, do you get the feeling that the people are talking about us?"

"Yeah, and it feels different then before when people are talking about us... I have a bad feeling about this." May replied with a shiver.

"Let's just continue to walk, we can ask the Nurse Joy in the Pokemon Center here, I'm sure she knows something."

May nodded in respond.

When they arrived the Pokemon Center, Drew noticed that there was a magazine on the magazine rack there which says 'Coordinators Weekly', it's a magazine all Coordinators like to read, it contains information on strong Coordinators and every piece of information a coordinator needs to know, but on top of that, there were both of their faces on the cover or it! And a picture of Harley with those other girls in the corner...

It says on the magazine:

COORDINATORS WEEKLY

BREAKING NEWS!


CONTESTSHIPPERS IT'S YOUR DAY!

OUR BELOVED HOENN PRINCE AND PRINCESS ARE FINALLY DATING!

READ MORE ABOUT THIS ON PG.1

He blushed as he read the magazine, as he remembered what happened a few days ago. 

'So those girls were hurrying off to 'Coordinators Weekly'?' He thought to himself.

He was debating inside him weather to read what they wrote in the magazine or not. 

He turned his head to May, she was chatting with Nurse Joy, but as soon as she saw him, she nodded to Nurse Joy as she gave her the room key.

"Drew! Nurse Joy said there is only one room left, but there are 2 beds, so we can share a room." May said as she walked to him. 

(I know, you were expecting something like there was only 1 bed and they had to sleep together right? Sorry to disappoint you but no.)

"Well, as long as there are 2 beds, I'm okay with that." Drew sighed mentally seeing that he couldn't read that magazine.

"Alright then, do you want to take a shower first?"

Seeing it's his chance, he 'gentlemanly' let her shower first.

"Great, now that she's in there, I can see what that Harley and those girls said to the magazine company." He mumbled to himself as he picked up the magazine.

Inside the magazine:

I'm sure you little coordinators all know who my little gingerbread-cookie May and Drewy are, and of course you shipped them, they are just so cute together!

Anyways, we've got a report from a sweet girl, Cassie who told me, Harley, our own head of the Contestshipping department, about what happened about a few days ago.

A few days ago, May, the princess of Hoenn, admitted herself that she is the girlfriend of Drew.

Page by your darling Harley *A picture of Harley with his famous creepy smirk and a hat saying Drew x May forever*

(Yeah I know you want that hat as much as I do XD)

"Huh!? Since when did that creepy old Harley work in for 'Coordinators Weekly'?"

Drew took out his PokeNav and scanned the QR code. He pressed the start button, as the pictures of May started moving, her voice ringed in his ear, saying that she was his girlfriend, they totally missed out the part where those girls tried to kill him!

Anyway, if his PokeNav ringtone could be heard by nobody but him, he would definitely change it into May saying she was his girlfriend. 

But of course he wouldn't do that. If it was heard by anyone, he will be teased till death!

As the video ended and he was left with his thoughts, he felt a slight buzz on his PokeNav, it appeared that it was May, she sent him a text saying that she's finished showering already, and asking him where he was.

Drew replied that he was just outside in the lobby, and that he will be going back in in a sec.

An awkward silence filled them as Drew finished his shower and they were both lying on the bed.

"So... I'm guessing that you've read the magazine if you were outside?" May cleared the silence but added some more awkwardness, if that was possible.

"Well, yep, so you asked Nurse Joy about it?" Drew asked.

"Yeah, should we tell Harley that it was fake..." May asked again.

"I doubt he's gonna believe that, and even if he does, he's just gonna spread more rumors..." Drew said, as they both sweat-dropped imaging Harley's reaction.

"But I never knew that Harley worked for Coordinators Weekly!" May exclaimed.

"Yeah, Solidad didn't tell me either, and to make things worse than they are now, he's this head of this Contestshipping thing department..."

"What's this Contestshipping thing actually?" May asked.

"Who knows?"

"Those girls were actually hurrying off to tell Harley about that!" May said changing the subject.

"Yeah, but I guess no matter what Harley's answer is, we should tell him that it was fake."

"I guess so, let's get a good night sleep now, and we can find Harley tomorrow and tell him."

"I think Harley will be competing in the contest we are going to participate in the next town too, let's talk to him there."

"Good idea. Now night night!" May said as she turned her body and snuggled in the cozy blanket."

And... they called it a night.
