Hey guys, I know I said I wouldn't publish anything until I was finished with my commentary, but I couldn't resist publishing this little one-shot I came up with for my schools anthology. Somehow my writing at school always turns into Pokeshipping... enjoy!

Edit: Oops! When I got home I realized I forgot to put a disclaimer on the story! I do not own Pokemon... but if I did, Ash and Misty would totally be canon.


He steps into the quiet lounge, his footsteps echoing in the almost empty room. His brown eyes scan the objects in the surrounding area, before they rest on the white couch. He smiles, before sitting down on the end cushion and gazing at his wife, who lays peacefully on the other two. Her bright orange hair is splayed out around the cushion, a fiery halo around her head. Her eyes are closed, and her chest rises and falls with every breath she takes. She is in a deep slumber, probably dreaming.

Careful not to wake her, he begins to stroke her hair gently. She moves ever so slightly in her sleep, then murmurs his name. He smiles again, she's dreaming about him.

He lifts his head and gazes out the open window at the twinkling lights of the city. They'd moved here a few years back, living in a large mansion overlooking the skyscrapers and busy downtown streets. It was a nice change for both of them, for they'd grown up in fairly small towns.

He feels her move again, and he peels his gaze from the window, resting his eyes on her face again. She opens her cerulean eyes and smiles as she looks up at her husband.

"Hey…" she murmurs sleepily as she sits up, her husband putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Hey." He repeats, chuckling at the conversation.

She glances up at him, traces of sleep still visible in her eyes. He kisses her forehead softly, and she sighs.

"What are you doing up?" she asks.

"I came to get you. You really need to stop watching TV so late."

"Guess I do…" she murmurs, eyes closing once again. He chuckles at his wife's sleepiness, then gently lies her back down on the couch cushion. He exits the room briefly, but returns a moment later carrying a pillow and blanket. He drapes the blanket over her small frame, then raises her head just enough to place the pillow underneath. Kissing her on the cheek, he remains a moment longer before quietly exiting the room, leaving the lounge silent once again.


Yeah, so again, just a random little one-shot I came up with. And since Pokemon isn't really allowed in school submissions, I had to leave them out. But lets just pretend that Pikachu was sleeping on the bed like a dog would. And the other Pokemon were asleep in their Pokeballs. XD Anyways, please R&R, back to my commentary!
