Disclaimer: If I owned pokemon, Ash and Misty would be together, Harley would admit he is gay, May and Drew would be together, and Dawn would be in jail. hehe...sorry, i just REALLY don't like her...
But I don't, so Ash and Misty probz wont be together, Harley would NOT admit he is gay, May and Drew would carry on arguing, and Dawn would be free to run around with her Piplup. :(
Cameras flash. Girls scream. People cheer. Security sighs.
All in all, the same memory over and over again. Sighing, Ash pushed open the limo door and
stepped out onto the red carpet that lay between a long line of red and gold roping, thousands of
people held back by the ropes and the tall security men that faced him, expressionless. Ash smiled
and waved, hiding his tire of the repeated ceremonies and awards, but he continued to smile and
wave as he was greeted, wave after wave by dozens of fans, all screaming at him deafening, holding
out cameras and autograph books, hoping that they would be the one in a millionth girl to get his
signature or photo. Ignoring all this, Ash walked down the carpet and turned to face the paparazzi,
pulling his hat over one eye and grinning, as he stopped at the open glass doors, took one last look
at them all, before stepping in and breathing with relief.
"Ten minutes Mr Ketchum." Came a quick voice from beside him, belonging to a short black
haired woman with a microphone around her ear and a clipboard in hand.
Nodding, Ash was led off to his dressing room by at least five security guards, before he opened
the door and collapsed onto the colossal bed, burying his face in his pillow.
"Just get the awards over and done with Jack." He sighed, sitting back up again and taking a gulp
from his glass of water.
"Will do Mr Ketchum, will do." Replied Jack, leaving the room quickly.
Sighing again, Ash clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth and stared out of the window at
the midnight coloured velvet that spread over the sky, scattered with dazzling diamonds.
"Time to go Mr Ketchum." Came a voice from the doorway, interrupting Ash's gaze.
"Ok then…" answered Ash, standing up and allowed himself to be led to the large stage.
"This is your seat Mr Ketchum. Come up when it's your turn please."
Smiling in thanks, Ash sat down on the front row, taking the cap off his head and twirling it around
on his fingers.
"Hey Ashy." A voice said from beside him.
Jerking his attention away from the stage, Ash turned to look at a young woman, around his age,
dressed in a long midnight blue dress, studded with sparkling glitter, her red hair let down in a series
of beautiful curls, decorated with aqua clips.
"Hey, don't I know you…?" grinned Ash, re-looking over the woman.
"Still as dense as ever." Smirked the woman, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Misty?!" he exclaimed with surprise.
"No…I'm Brock Slate."
"God man, what the hell happened? Sex change or summin?"
Punching him playfully on the arm, Misty laughed quietly and hugged him quickly.
"Gosh you've changed Mist." Smiled Ash, letting go of her as they continued to watch the stage.
Misty thought over this. 'I've changed…for better or for worse…'
"Is that an insult?" she asked, leaning back in her chair.
"'Course not."
"Well you used to insult me quite a lot when we were little, remember?" reminded Misty.
"Yeah, but I had a reason for teasing you." Pointed out Ash.
"You had a reason? What was it? A bet with Gary or summin?"
"No, I guess it was just…well I guess I…oh forget it…its complicated." Sighed Ash, returning his
hat to his head and concentrating on the stage.
"Tell me at the party, kay?" smiled Misty, standing up and heading up onto stage.
"Kay…" replied Ash, watching her carefully.
'If I tell her I liked her…then she might catch on and realise I still do…but if I don't…then she
might think I don't care…if I tell her, she might reject me…if I don't tell her, I'll be stuck with
screaming girls…Oh God HELP ME!' thought Ash, yelling inside.
"Misty Waterflower, Gym Leader of Cerulean City, and Water Pokemon Master!" came a shout
from the stage.
There was an uproar of applause from the crowd, as Misty blushed and smiled, receiving a
microphone from the presenter.
"So Miss Waterflower, what's it like to be close friends with Ash Ketchum, Pokemon Master?"
asked the presenter.
At Ash's name, there was a huge scream from the girls in the crowd, making Misty laugh slightly.
"Well, it's been an amazing life I've led with Ash as my best friend. Since the age of eleven, I feel
like I've known him forever. He was always there for me, and he's still there for me now. Ash is
such a great friend, I never want to loose him." Giggled Misty, smiling at Ash.
"Ok, now moving on. What's it like to be Water Pokemon Master?"
"It's a frightening, yet enjoyable time." Grinned Misty. "I've had loads of support from all my
friends, even ones that don'trecognise me anymore...Ash," Misty smirked at Ash before continuing, "and from all
my fans. If it wasn't for Ash and Brock, I really do not think I would be here today. I guess it's fun,
but at times it can be annoying. When I went shopping with my friend May, I had to have five
security guards. It was annoying, but I get over it."
"Misty Waterflower everyone!" cried the presenter, making the crowd scream again.
Smiling, Misty sat back down next to Ash and blushed.
"You meant all that stuff?" he whispered.
"'Course." Nodded Misty in reply.
"Now please welcome… Ash Ketchum: Pokemon Master!" came a shout up front.
"Cya." Whispered Misty, waving her hand slightly.
Grinning, Ash made his way up onto stage, trying to block out the shouts from the crowd below.
The presenter handed him the microphone, and waited for the noise to settle down.
"Mr Ketchum, tell us, what is it like to be the single Pokemon Master?"
At this question, Ash laughed.
"Well, I'm planning on not being single forever! I got my eye onsomeone, but I don't know if it will
happen. But being the Pokemon Master? It's great. I've got so much support from my friends
Misty, Brock, May, Max, my pokemon, Pikachu, and all my fans, it's just great." Laughed Ash,
trying to refrain from looking at Misty.
"We're glad to hear it. Now going back to the, being single topic. Who ya likin' Ash?" asked the
presenter slyly.
"No…sorry. I'm not gonna say." Smirked Ash. "But lets just say…if it happens…you'll know
within a second."
"ASH KETCHUM EVERYBODY!" shouted the presenter, making Ash jump slightly.
Breathing deeply, Ash returned to his seat and closed his eyes.
'Please don't talk Mist…Please don't talk Mist…Please…' begged Ash in his mind, but stopped
when he felt a tug on his arm.
"Who ya likin' then Ashy?" grinned Misty.
"That's for me to know, and you to find out." Came his reply, before he got up and headed
towards the exit, where he was greeted by his security.
Puzzled, Misty stood up and shouted.
"You going to the party Ash?!" she called.
Ash turned around and nodded, waving his hand in goodbye, until he was out of the door and out
of sight.
R et R please!
