Me: Hey this is a new story.

Misty: Obviously. What else can it be? A Hamburger?

Ash: I like hamburgers.

Me/Misty: We know!!

Me: Anyways, As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted... This is an aaml story called A Love like This.

Misty: SHE DOES NOT, I REPEAT, SHE DOES NOT OWN POKEMON WHAT SO EVER!! IT BELONGS TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER(S).

Ash: Who would think that?

Me: I don't know. ON with the story!!

It's been 5 years since I've seen his face. 5 years since he's looked into my eyes. 5 years ago he attended a Pokemon Master Convention and never came back. Never seen him since then. He didn't even call. He must have forgotten, but how could he forget. 5 years have past and I wish... I wish one day he'd come back to me whether it be for a month, a day or even a minute. I wish I could look into his sincere eyes just once more. Just then I hear a phone I jump hoping it was him.

"Hello."

"Hi Misty."

"Oh, hey Gary." My hopes were crushed. It's been 5 years. I should be over this. " What's going on? You haven't called since I moved to Pallet." Ugh. Old memories. The only reason I moved here was so I could have a reason to see him everyday.

"Nothing I was just thinking about you. So I called," he responded knowing it wasn't the reason he called, "I hope you don't mind."

"No. I don't." There was a moment of silence until I actually spoke up. "So what's the real reason you called?"

"I wanted to know if you weren't busy tonight I could take you out." I can truly say I wasn't expecting that.

"Uh," Maybe it's time to move on. I guess. "Ummm."

"Come on, Misty," he said, "It'll be fun."

"Sure. Why not?"

"Great! I'll pick you up at 7."

"OK." I quickly hung up the phone thinking about me and Ash's last date. I think I may fake I'm sick. NO I couldn't.

I look out my window once more and see, no it couldn't be, Ash!! I jumped out my chair so fast that when I ran outside. I stopped and seen... her. She was a beauty. Her blue hair shown in the sunlight. Her eyes matched her long straight blue hair.

"Misty," he said. I wanted to run away but my legs didn't move. My mouth opened and I spoke.

"Hi Ash," trying to hide the pain from my voice and my eyes.

"Ash, who's this?" The blue haired asked as I felt my heart melt when she grabbed hold of his hand.

"Dawn this is Misty. Misty, Dawn."

"Hi nice to meet you." I held out my hand. She didn't move and just gripped his hand tighter. I put my hand down hesitantly.

"So, Ash," I continued to speak, "What's been going on? You haven't called or anything."

"I guess I've been busy." I seen his innocent face and I tried to keep me from blushing. 'He's taken. He's taken,' I kept thinking over and over. The voice almost started to scare me.

"Come on, Ash," she pulled his hand, "I want to meet your mother." She was trying to make me jealous cause she was going to meet his mother. Well that was too bad because we are very close friends.

"Tell your mom I said hi." I said.

"Don't worry, Mist. I will." Mist. I remember him calling me that. But that was 5 years ago. "See ya later, Misty."

"Bye," I whispered as he caught up with her and put his arm around her shoulder as her head rested on his chest. I walked inside and the second I closed the door and cried. He had moved on. I couldn't hide it not a moment longer. I cried just as hard as the day he had to leave. I feel like an idiot, a fool, waiting for him. I should have moved on.

A month later...

I woke up at about 10:00 am to a phone ringing loudly in my ear. I wanted to throw it unto the wall and hear it crash into a million pieces. I picked up my cell phone and answered the annoying ring.

"Hello."

"Hey, baby."

"Hi Gary," I smiled at his voice. "Is there any reason why you're calling me at 10 o'clock in the morning?!"

"To tell you we have a breakfast date. Remember, Misty?"

"Yeah. So?"

"So, I'll be there in 5 minutes."

"OK." I responded pretending not to care. I hung up before he could say anything else. I got up and bathed and dressed and blah blah blah. It's way too early for me to be going out.

Before I knew it, I heard a door bell. It was Gary obviously. I opened the door to see the someone with a special invitation.

When I opened the door he said, "Hello Misty. You've been causally invited to an evening surprise birthday party for May Maple. Our special guest will be Mariah Carey singing LIVE!! Tomorrow night at the famous Novia Hotel." May, I still remember when I met her. She's really cool.

"Thank you." I took the invitation and closed the door as he left in the limo.

The next day...

Gary dropped me off at the Novia Hotel. As he took my bag out the car and gave it to me.

"Promise me you won't meet another guy at this ball."

"Don't worry. I will." I said jokingly. We laughed together. I kissed him on the check goodbye. He drove away as I walked into the Hotel to see guess who? Ash with her. I glanced away trying not to look them in the eye as they kissed goodbye.

"Hello, miss. How May I help you?"

"I'm here for the surprise party. I'm Misty Waterflower."

"Oh... Here's your key. Your room number is 989."

"Thank you," I walked away and accidentally dumped into someone. "Oh sorry."

I turned to see Ash smile at me. " No that's ok, Mist. I should have been watching were I was going."

"Same old, Ash. Always taking the blame for everything." We both laughed together. Just like old times."

"Let me help you with your stuff."

"No. I have it." He ignored my request and carried my stuff along with his. "So what room are you in?"

"989"

"I'm in 990." That's weird. "I guess we'll be seeing alot of each other then."

"Yeah. I guess." I went into my room and sighed dreaming about his sincere sweet face. Again I've fallen for him.

Tonight was the party. I dressed in the blue silk dress I had just bought yesterday. I straightened my hair and went down stairs for the party. I was right on time. Across the room I seen Ash. I smiled and he smiled back. We were all shushed when May was coming in blindfolded with Drew leading the way inside. He still looked at me and I smiled. Drew took off the blindfold and everyone screamed.

"Surprise!!" May was so surprised. Her mouth opened wide with shock as she almost cried tears of happiness. She had a great boyfriend. Everyone there knew it. She hugged him and I heard a silent, "Thank You, Drew."

"That's not all." Just then Mariah Carey stepped out singing.

"Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear May,

Happy birthday to you." Mariah Carey sang.

May cried harder. She hugged Drew even tighter. For her it was a dream birthday. I knew May was happy.

"My first song I will sing is dedicated to May Maple on her 16th birthday."

When the song started May and Drew started to dance and soon everyone joined in. I started to see Ash walk closer and closer to me.

No no
Yeah yeah

"Would you like to dance?" He asked holding out his hand.

"Sure," I said grabbing hold of my hand and we started dancing. I held his hand while his other hand wrapped around my waist.

You look in my eyes
And I get emotional
Inside
I know it's crazy but
You still can touch my heart
And after all this time
You'd think that I
Wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed

I heard the lyrics and smiled as we danced together. Remembering the memories before he left me for 5 years. I thought I was getting over him. But I didn't.

I still believe, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
I had a dream, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again

Each day of my life
I'm filled with all the joy
I could find
You know that I am not the desperate type
If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp
I'll hold it with both hands
It's worth the risk of burning
To have a second chance
No, no, no, no, no, nooo I need you baby
I still believe that we can be together
Ooooohoh no no nooo
If we believe that true love never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again
Mmmh

We looked into each others eyes smiling. I blushed knowing I had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend. But that was all put to the side just for tonight as our old feelings restored. Just for one night.

Ooooohoh
I still believe, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
Oh baby, yeah yeah
I had a dream, you and me
Will find ourselves in love
Again
(I still believe)
Oh baby I do
(Someday you and me)
Just give me one more time
And love
Again
I had a dream, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love
Again

I couldn't help it. I was captured into his spell. I couldn't look anywhere else but into his eyes. In Love Again. We found ourselves again. Like 5 years before. He felt it too. We both couldn't help it. The space between slowly disappeared as we shared our first kiss in years. Seconds past not wanting to pull away. We truly are in Love Again. Love Again.

hope you like it. I think it's Great. Please review. Thank you for your time!!
