Sweet Valley by Jawmax
Chapter one: Another Perfect Day
Sweet Valley as the name suggests is a small town in a valley, population 300. In one house a seven year old brother and his twin sister were running around the brother was holding a Pikachu doll. "Mist please let me hold it. You played with Pikachu for an hour." The girl had long blond hair with a pink bow and wore a pink dress with white frills. She had brown eyes.
"You got to tag me first." Mist said he had red hair, a yellow shirt and blue jean shorts. He had green eyes. The two ran into the dinning room their mother Misty came in from the kitchen wearing a yellow dress and a pink apron with blue frills.
In a happy voice that was almost like she was singing she said. "Your father is going to be home soon, Mist and Ashley. So stop playing around and get ready for dinner."
The children stop and turned to their mother and said. "Yes Mommy." They gone into the bathroom and began to was up. They then came into the living room just as their father walked in through the front door. "Daddy!" the kids said as they hugged his legs. "Hey Ashley, Mist you two been good for Mommy today?" "Yes" they both said. "Welcome home Ash. Did you have a good day at the office?" Misty asked giving him a kiss. Ash was wearing a grey suit and blue tie. "I had to clean out some old files and send them to the archive, so that is why I am a little late coming home." "That's okay you're a good provider and I love you." The family sat down for dinner.
"Wonderful dinner as always dear." Ash said.
Misty smiled and said. "Thank you honey."
Ash then asked his son. "Mist do you have your Show and Tell ready for tomorrow?"
"I'm going to show the class the arrow head I found in the backyard." Mist said.
"And what about you Ashley, do you have something you are going to bring to school tomorrow?" Ash looked at his little girl who looked just like he did when he wore a disguise to get into the Celadon Gym.
"It's a surprise Daddy." Ashley said with a smile.
"Okay sweetie, such a good girl, you'll make one lucky guy very happy one day."
Misty looked at her son's plate. "Mist please, finish your vegetables."
"Yes Mommy." The boy said. She smiled as she looked at her son. She thought that he looked like she would at that age if she were a boy. Soon dinner was finished.
"Let me help clean up Mommy. I need the practice for when I get married." Ashley asked with a cheery voice.
"I would love your help sweetie, after all a woman's place is in the home cooking, cleaning, and most all caring for her children." Misty said these words like she believed them.
Misty and Ashley began to clear the table Mist turned to his dad and asked. "Daddy will you play catch with me?"
"Sure thing let me get my glove and I'll meet you in the backyard."
In the yard while they were playing catch Mist had some questions. "Daddy why do women have to do all the work at home?"
"It's not all of it son, I do help out when your mother let's me. But mostly it's because its part of the rules we follow to survive."
"Ash, Mist it is starting to get late, it's time to come in." Misty said.
The children were then dressed in their pajamas, but they wanted just thing before bed. "Daddy will you tell us the story about Pikachu again?" Ashley asked.
"I don't know sweetie." Ash said.
"Please Daddy." Mist asked. Ash sighed and said.
"Okay but then you go to bed." Ash sat down. "Before you were born there were creatures that were called Pokemon. They were everywhere and were in every shape and size. Back then people used to train Pokemon to fight in competitions or use their powers in contest of beauty. I trained Pokemon to fight and my first Pokemon was a Pikachu and for years he was my best friend. But one dark day Pokemon everywhere began to get sick we couldn't do anything to help them, in time people began to get sick and die. Only a few of us were able to come to this valley and escape. The world outside this valley is now a barren wasteland because of that disease. The Pokemon are gone now, your mother and made that doll for two reasons, first because he belongs to both of you it would teach you to share, but the main reason is so that you could have some idea of what a Pokemon looked like."
"You miss him don't you Daddy." Ashley said. Ash pulled his children into a hug. "Yes, but I have your Mommy and both of you, and that is all I need to be happy. I love you."
"We love you too Daddy." Mist and Ashley said.
"Now it's time for bed both of you can dream of Pokemon all night." Misty said.
"Yes Mommy good night. Goodnight Daddy." They both said and went to bed Misty tucking them in.
"Such good children. We are fortunate, they are little angels." Ash and Misty went to their room.
"It has been twelve years since the world we knew ended." Ash said getting ready bed.
"And in a few days it will be twelve years since we got married." Misty said in her nigh gown getting out visor like objects. "It's time for our treatment. Someday we will have to tell the children that this is the only way for us to fight off the disease." They put the visors over their eyes and got into bed. Lights stated to flash beneath the devices and faintly some words could be heard.
"Stay in your place in the community, be faithful to your spouse, teach your children the values of the community, keep the community and peaceful happy place."
