Author's Time: God...It's been so long since I wrote a pokemon fic...well, ever since I re-watched season 1, I got re-inspired. I know what you're thinking, not another AAML right? Well, we'll see. People that read my stories know that I won't let that happen without some type of obstacle. So here you go!
All out summary: Misty heads back home after receiving a phone call from Daisy. After a year of absence, she finally heads back to Pallet to re-unite with Ash and Brock. But only to see her worst fear coming to life when she gets there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[It'll be so good to see everyone again...] Misty thought to herself as she walks towards Pallet town. A year ago, she, Ash, and Brock were in Goldenrod when Misty decided to phone her sisters back at Cerulean City. Although she was happy to she them, they weren't happy to she her. Daisy told her that something happened to Violet and at that instant; Misty decided to go see them back at Cerulean. Misty didn't want to leave them, but she had to see if Violet's alright. So she left, promising them to see each other in Pallet town a year from then.
As Misty finally made to though the forest, she looked over the small city called Pallet town, hoping to see her friends again.
Chapter 1: Long time, no see.
Misty was in front of the Ketchum residents looking at the door. Slowly, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. "O my! Misty! Is that you!" Mrs. Ketchum asked in disbelieve. "O, it's good to see you again Mrs. Ketchum." Misty said to her, but was pulled into a hug. "It's been so long since you left here and when Ash came back and you weren't there; I thought something horrible has happen to you!" Misty, now in an awkward position, was being crushed. "Um...that's great to hear Mrs. Ketchum...do you know where Ash is?" Misty asked. She released her from her grasp and thought for awhile. "I believe he went out with Brock and...er, well, they were going to get something for me. They'll be back in a couple of minutes, but please, make yourself at home! I'll go get some tea." Mrs. Ketchum left the room and Misty sat on the couch. "Gee, I forgot how Ash's mom was so happy-peppy all the time..." Misty said to herself, looking around the room. As her wandering eyes looked around, she noticed a picture that was taken a long time ago. [Heh, I remembered this...we were so carefree back then... I look so cute back then with that side pony tail. I wonder how Ash and Brock would react now that I have long hair...] There stood Ash, Mrs. Ketchum, Brock, Mr. Mime, and herself in front of the house. She sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
Mrs. Ketchum came back with tea and placed on the table. She also sat down and began to talk to her. "So Misty, where have you been all this time?" she questioned. "O, I've been back home at Cerulean...my sister was very ill and I went back to make sure she's ok..." Mrs. Ketchum took a sip of her tea. "I see...Hey, you let you hair down. It's so pretty." "O thanks Mrs. Ketchum, I wanted to let it grow out ...So let me ask you Mrs. Ketchum..." She tossed a glace at her. "Alright...shoot." "How's Ash? What did he do while I was gone?" Mrs. Ketchum took a couple to seconds to think it out. "Well?" "Well...after you left, he gave me a call telling me that you left and I guess after that, he continued his quest. He called me again a couple days later and told me that he met someone..." she said in a tone as if she was depressed. Misty looked at her with one eye brow up. "What do you mean, 'met someone'." Just then, the door swung open and Brock came in, carrying groceries. "Hey Mrs. Ketchum.....where do you want these..." he started but when he saw Misty, he dropped all of his bags. "Brock...you dropped the entire grocer...ahhhhh!" Ash started but then slipped on the produce, making him fall on his face. He got up and looked at Brock. "Brock! What's your problem?" Brock was speechless but he raised his finger and pointed at Misty. When Ash followed his finger, he was in shock. "M-M-Misty? I-Is it really you?!" Ash said, about to cry. Misty smiled at him. "Yeah, I'm back...like I promised..."
There was dead silence. Ash looked at Misty and Misty stared back. They were both speechless. Misty then ran to Ash and gave him a hug. "Ash, it's so good to see you again..." she said to him. "Yeah...it's good to see you also Misty." They broke the hug and helped with the groceries. They met back at the living room when they were done. "Misty, it's been so long since you left, whatcha been up to since you left?" Ash asked. "Well, after tending for my sick sister, I guess I stayed in Cerulean and catch up with my sisters. Whatcha been up to since I left?" Misty asked. Ash shifted uncomfortably in his chair. "Well..." Just then, someone was knocking at the door. "I'll get that" Misty said as she got up and walked towards it. "Wait! Misty, I think I should..." Ash said getting up. "Don't be silly, I'll get it." She said, already there. She opened the door and saw a girl, about the same size as her, long red-orange hair, and brown eyes standing in front of her. "Um...hello, is Ash there?" she asked.
Ash came to the door. "Hey, what's up?" he said to her. Misty took several steps back. [Who is this girl? How does she know Ash?] Ash looked back at Misty. "Are you ok?" he asked. "Um...yeah, I'm ok. But who's this Ash?" Misty wanted to know. Ash invited her in and she took a seat. Misty did the same and so did Ash. "Um...where to being..." Ash said to himself. "How about... 'Her name is...'." Misty hinted him. "O right...her name is Elli, we met couple of days after you went back home." Misty looked at her and offered her a hand shake. "I see, my name is Misty. It's nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too, I'm Elli." They shook hands. But Misty was uncomfortable of the hand shake. "Umm...I'm going to get a drink...I'll be right back." Ash said, getting up. Elli also got up. "Let me help you Ash." She said, following him.
Brock and Misty were left in the room. "You know Misty, it good to see you again, but in this situation...you seem pretty calm. By now you would have hit Ash with a mallet or some other foreign object." "Gee Brock, thanks." She said sarcastically. "But what's with this Elli girl?" Brock got up and sat down so they were looking at each other. "Elli joined us a week after you left..." "Ok, I got that info down, now what's her story." Brock took a deep breathe. "Well, you can say she saved his life..." "What?! She saved Ash's life?" "You can say that, but ever since, she followed us and helped us out. Don't think of it as her being your replacement but it just happened...you know?" Misty looked down. "Yeah, I know..." Mrs. Ketchum walked in. "Hey Misty, where are you saying tonight?" A sweat drop appeared on her forehead. "Well, I was wondering if I could stay here for awhile..." "Don't sweat it! You're always welcomed here! But you have to sleep here since Elli is also staying here..." Misty looked at her. "She's staying here also?"
Night fell and everyone was in their respective rooms. Misty was lying in a pull out bed, looking at the ceiling. "What am I worried about... so what if Elli is staying over. I mean, I just to do the same thing when I was traveling with Ash. But...there is just something about her that makes me...feel weird." Misty said to herself. [Yeah, what am I worried about...it's not like she in love with him or anything...heh, in love with him...Ash doesn't even know the definition of romance...] she thought to herself, slowly falling asleep.

The next day, Brock was up and early. He was already making breakfast and he heading to wake Ash up. As he tried to open the door, it was locked. So he woke everyone else up. Everyone was downstairs eating breakfast. Misty was awake, eating breakfast as Brock went to go see if Ash was awake now. As he entered the living room, he saw Ash and Elli walk down the stairs together. "Heh, typical to keep you breakfast wait Ash. I see you and her had fun last night..." Brock teased them. "Hey! We didn't to anything!" "Ash is right, I couldn't to go sleep to I went to his room. All we did was play cards, that's it." Elli supported him. Brock had his arms crossed. "Uh huh...and that's why you guys are wearing each other's shirts?" Ash and Elli looked at their shirts and Brock was right, they were wearing each other's shirts. They started to take off their shirts and switched but Misty walked in so they instantly stopped. "Nice to see your awake Ash...now come down, your breakfast is getting cold." Misty went back to the kitchen and they let out a sigh. "That was close..." Ash said. "Heh, so when are you going to tell her?" Brock asked. "I'll tell her, don't worry." Ash told him, looking back at Elli.
