Couples: Ash and Melody, Ash and Misty

Summery: Ash is now living with Melody in the Orange Islands, but is he really happy? Both Ash and Melody are sixteen now

Melody woke up, the golden light from the island sun beaming down on her. She felt sad for a minute, then remembered that she was happy. Ash had said he loved her, and was coming to live on the Orange Islands! She got up quickly and begun preparing for his arrival.

A week later Ash had arrived safely, and he and Melody had spent a week together. Melody was over the moon, but Ash had seemed oddly quiet after the first three days.

"What's wrong Ash?" asked Melody, clinging onto his arm and putting her head on his shoulder as they walked down the sandy beach.

"Nothing Melody, it's just…" he broke off suddenly, unable to spoil the beautiful atmosphere, "I can't pretend anymore. I don't think us getting together was such a good idea. Maybe we should give it a break." Silence froze in the air as Ash's words sunk into Melody. He was…dumping her? But they had only been going out for a week! Did that mean he was already fed up with her?

"What do you mean? You can't be dumping me, we're so happy!" replied a startled Melody, though even as she choked the words she knew they weren't true.

"Melody, please don't do this. We both know things aren't working out and to tell you the truth I only returned here because the one I really do love has gone." Melody's small tears turned into a waterfall down her face.

"But Ash, we are happy together! We love each other very much!" She cried, but had already turned away and begun leaving.

"No Ash wait! We love each other. I love you. Ash please come back…don't leave me again"

Short I know, but hopefully good. Ash has left Melody for…who exactly? And will Melody just let him go? Find out in the next chapter of 'Beyond the Orange Islands'
