Hey everyone! I know I haven't written much in the past month or so, but I have a good reason! I moved up to college campus for marching band a couple of weeks ago, and we just had our first game. For the past weeks I have been running around doing marching band for 14 hours a day, and then class started, so please forgive me!
I hope you guys enjoy!
The context is 3 years after Misty stops traveling with Ash, so I'd say they are around 15 in my time.
Disclaimer: If you were to suggest that I own Pokemon, then I would suggest that you have no idea what you are talking about, since I don't.
"Well…?" Misty taps her foot impatiently against the tiled floor of the pokemon center, arms folded neatly across her chest. Her eyes are focused on the green screen in front of her, where a certain pokemon trainer is sheepishly staring back at her.
The boy gulps, rubbing one hand on the back of his head nervously. "I'm coming to Cerulean in a few days," his gaze meets Misty's through the screen, and she can't help but forget he isn't standing right next to her.
The news brings a bright smile to Misty's face, "That's great Ash! We should get lunch or something. Maybe we can even have a pokemon battle."
Ash nods, but still looks nervous. Misty's smile shrinks, and she scrunches her eyebrows slightly analyzing her now longtime friend. "What's wrong?"
Ash freezes at the question, his eyes shifting to his left. Misty hears a few murmured words of encouragement from someone off screen, and Ash nods in their direction. He takes a deep breath before turning to face Misty, suddenly looking more confident.
"Misty…" A flash of nerves shows on Ash's face, again making Misty wonder what could have happened.
"When I'm in town… willyougooutonadatewithme?" Ash spews his words out quickly as a tinge of pink graces his usually composed face.
The words soothe Misty, and she can feel herself blush slightly as she deciphers his words.
It's about time. She thinks to herself, but decides to have a little fun with the dark haired teen.
She beams at the screen, "I'm sorry Ash, I didn't quite catch that."
Someone snickers in the background, and Ash shoots a death glare over his shoulder before returning his attention to Misty.
He clears his throat, trying to fight the blush off of his face. "I said… will you go out on a date with me." Ash looks up as he finishes, and his piercing gaze tells Misty he means business.
Misty decides to let him off the hook, and she nods, letting out a soft, "Yes."
Ash's nerves disappear instantly, and a huge grin spreads across his face. "Yes! I mean um… awesome. I'll pick you up at 8 next Saturday."
Misty giggles lightly at Ash's never fading enthusiasm, "I'll see you on Saturday mister Ketchum."
Ash nods, and reaches out to cut the connection. As it fades, Misty can hear a loud shout for joy, and she walks away from the phone machine with a smile on her face, eagerly awaiting her date with one Ash Ketchum.
Short and sweet, but I do think Ash will eventually get up the guts, but he'll probably be nowhere near her when he does. The person in the background is Brock if you guys were curious.
Well… please leave a review, I really appreciate any feedback and criticism.
