I decided to try the ten random songs challenge. It is most likely going to jump from anime to anime, so don't know what section I'm going to put this in. Flame me for it if you want. Don't care.
First song: If Today Was Your Last Day by Nickelback.
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
"You ever wonder if you'll wake up tomorrow?" Misty asked from the bottom bunk of her best friends bunk bed in his room. She was staying the night because Delia didn't want her to go back to that big house by herself. Azurill was snuggled against her chest and Misty could only assume Pikachu was doing the same with Ash.
"Why are you worried about that?" He asked. Misty sighed.
"I don't know, it just came to mind trying to get to sleep." She stared up at the bottom of the mattress that held Ash Ketchum.
"Each day's a gift, not a given right. Don't go thinking that or you might lose the privilege of living. That's what my mom said when I asked her. Leave no stone unturned looking for the meaning of life, and leave you fear of death behind. Take the path that people hardly ever take, living life with no regrets. It'll take a long time for it to come if you do that." Misty gaped. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about…what happened to the real Ash Ketchum?
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
"But if today was you last day, and it was too late to say goodbye to everyone you love, would you regret life?" Misty didn't know why she was working herself up over a stupid thought, but she was getting scared. What if she did die tonight? She'd never know what she could've done with life.
"Then live each moment like your last. Don't dwell on the past, because you can't change what's already happened. And if today was my last, then I'd feel bad for leaving you behind." Misty stuck her head out from the bunk and looked up in wonder. Ash was unseen, but she knew what he was doing. Hands behind head, staring up at the ceiling like he was looking at the stars.
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
"Life is worth fighting for, and you don't get a second try on living. Live to the fullest, it's my motto." Ash stuck his head down and smiled in the dark. Misty was puzzled. She was really cute when she was confused.
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes'
Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
Ash flipped off the bed and onto the floor. Pikachu moved onto the pillow, not bothering to wake up. Misty moved over to make room. Ash sat on the edge of her bed.
"Don't worry, you still have a long time to live. Anyways, you're too stubborn to die." He smirked, bringing a and up and stroking her cheek. Misty surprised herself by leaning into the touch. It felt nice.
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
"Ash." She whispered. She was still scared, despite being comforted by his presence. Ash laid down next to her, stroking her hand comforting, making little promises to her till she fell asleep. He smiled at the older girl before settling down for the night, beside her side, like he would always be from now on.
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
Did you like it? I always wonder about life and death. I asked my brother for a random song that could fit into a story, and he said this song. It worked! I'll try to make all of these Misty and Ash, but no promises. Reviews appreciated and requested.
