Just a little Author's Note: I've been distracted with my dad's cancer so I totally forgot about the deadline… So I hope I'm able to get all of the chapters up in time! And also, I do not own Pokemon!

"Hey Danielle, are you feeling better?" Kim asked as she entered her friend's room.

"Eh… not really… my throat is killing me!" Danielle said with a scratchy voice.

Kim sat down on the bed and glanced at the girl's laptop screen.

"Watching Pokemon, are we?" Kim smirked as the sick girl adjusted the screen.

"Yeah! Misty and Ash are just adorable and ---"

"I know! But before you start gushing about the cute couples in Pokemon, you need to get better! So I brought you a nice big, warm bowl of Alphabet Soup!" the girl gently set the large bowl in the girl's lap.

"Oh, I love playing with the letters! And I've been so bored all day, so thank you for even bringing me entertaining food!" Danielle smiled, and a smile dawned on her face.

"What?" Kim asked, seeing the wheels in her head turn.

"Why don't we make up little stories about Pokemon for each letter? We pick a word that starts with that letter and then we tell each other the story involving some of our favorite characters!" Danielle's face lit-up as much as a sickly person's face could.

Kim sighed and motioned for her to go right ahead and start.

"YOU PIG! You're an animal! You disgust me! What's your problem? What the- how can- you're just- UGH!!!!" Misty yelled in the boy's face.

"I thought you loved animals? How is that insulting me?" Ash asked, innocently.

Misty screamed in frustration and stormed over to where Ash sat on the couch, watching the television and not even paying attention to his frustrated girlfriend. Let us rewind, shall we?

After a long day at the gym, Misty came over to visit her longtime boyfriend and she was perfectly happy (and sane, might I add) until she found him watching some coordinator show, with… let's just call them extremely appealing women. A switch flipped in the fiery-haired girl's brain and her quick, sharp temper exploded like Mt. Vesuvius, rampaging upon Pompeii. Ash, in all his naïveté, just continued to watch the apparently interesting program and didn't even bother with the crazy lady that was yelling at him.

"Well, yes, I do love animals… but you're not getting my point here Ash!" Misty said, a bit thrown at her boyfriend's innocent logic.

Pikachu, always the peacemaker, quickly hopped onto Misty's shoulder and licked her cheek with a little smile. Misty's anger melted immediately and Ash smiled gently. Now that it was safe to actually reason with the girl, he got up from the couch and wrapped his arms around the girl's delicate waist.

"Mist, would you listen to me for a sec?" the girl sighed but consented anyway.

"Well, if you had taken the time watch the show for a few minutes, you would realize that May and Drew are featured in it, and you simply stepped in at the wrong time." Ash gestured to the box, across from the comfy couch.

Sure enough, there on the screen, stood May and Drew, grinning and showing off their partner performance skills. Ash was ecstatic that he was right for once, but decided not to push his favorite girl over the edge, so he sat her down on the couch, kissed her cheek and told to her take a load off.

Misty automatically rolled her eyes, and stood right back up. She naturally cleaned up the mess that Ash left on the coffee table in front of him and chided him for being a lazy pig. He reluctantly turned off the TV and followed his girlfriend into the kitchen, which was uncharacteristically empty, since Mrs. Ketchum was shopping. In an odd spurt of helpfulness, he washed and dried all the dishes that had accumulated in the sink, and vacuumed the living room and kitchen.

Stunned, Misty just observed her boyfriend's unusual actions with curiosity and a pinch of shock. It wasn't until she noticed that he was rushing to get it all done that she realized he wasn't just doing it to be sweet. It was a goal and a competition for him, as per usual.

The second he finished, Ash turned to Misty and gave her a big thumbs-up and one of his most charismatic grins that he could muster.

"I win! See? I am not an animal!"

Misty stifled her giggling behind her hand, but walked over to the competitive trainer.

"You, Mr. Ketchum, most certainly are an animal." Misty said, with a very stern face.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaat?" whined Ash in disbelief.

"You're a cute, cuddly, lovable animal." Smiled Misty as she hugged Ash tightly.

"I'm guessing your word was 'animal'? Considering you said it so many times in about 500 words!" Kim rolled her eyes.

Danielle merely giggled and told Kim to think of a word and story for B.

'Dang, this one's hard…" thought Kim.
