WOWZERS! My first multi-chapter fic!!

The story is more of humor and frienship type. But I put romance to attract you pokeshippers! But don't take me the wrong way, it is pokeshippy. It just doesn't REEK pokeshippy, but it's there, believe me. Or this woudln't even be on here.

Also, I first came up with this idea because I was thinking of how pokeshippy fics commonly take place in Cerulean or Pallet. But I've yet to see one in Pewter City!! So yeah, that's why I'm staging it here. I'd like to consider it a unique aspect, haha.

so read, REVIEW, and enjoy :)

UPDATE: I was becoming really annoyed with the short chapters and decided to merge the first two together.

"A DATE?" they yelled.

"…YES, a date. Is that so hard to believe?"

Ash and Misty exchanged looks, deciding not to go down that road.

"Well?" Brock insisted.

"Uh…you see..." Ash started.

"What we meant was, we're really happy for you!" Misty finished.

Ash snapped his head in her direction, yelling at her telepathically.

NO! What are you DOING Misty?? I do NOT want to—

"We'd be glad to watch over your brothers and sisters!" She continued.

Apparently she wasn't getting Ash's messages.

Misty looked at Ash for support, who was too busy scrunching up his face. (still trying to send those secret messages)

She angrily stomped on his foot, hoping he would get the idea.

Ash crossed his arms, and glanced over at Brock with a sigh.
"Yeah. No problem."

Brock observed the two of them with suspicion, but let it slide in the end.

"Great then! Thanks guys, this really means a lot to me!" He said.

With that, he ran up the stairs to get ready, leaving Ash and Misty to themselves.

Misty tapped her foot on the ground impatiently…waiting…waiting….three, two, on-

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"

She sighed. "I had to Ash. How could we not?"

"Couldn't he just pay someone to do it?"

"He IS paying us to do this Ash."

"Yeah but, we're not professionals!"

Misty ignored the comment.

"Hey! Where are you- WAIT!"

Ash followed Misty into the kitchen where he found her opening cabinets and looking through drawers.

"I don't think we should be look through Brock's stuff."

"I'm trying to find something to cook in."

"YOU, cooking? We're suppose to be looking over the kids, not trying to poison them!"

Misty dropped the pan she was holding and shot a death glare at him.

"I mean, FOOD! Yum…"

"Maybe we should just order pizza," she suggested.

"Good idea!" Ash agreed.

Misty raised her eyebrow at him.

"Because all you're ideas are great!" he added.

She nodded promptly as if to say, "That's what I thought."

Sigh

It was going to be a long night…

"AAHH!!"

Ash and Misty jumped, startled by the scream.

"What's wrong?" Misty called.

What came next was a...shocking surprise.

Brock, dressed up in a very nice suit, was standing at the foot of the stairs, looking rather dashing.

"Wow, Brock! You clean up well!" Misty complimented.

Ash glanced between his two friends, not liking the way Misty had praised Brock.

"Yeah, Whatever. Why did you scream?"

"This stupid tie!! I can't get it to--"

Brock fumbled with the tie, pulling it under and over as he walked down the stairs. But he was so distracted that…

CRASH

"Wah…that's the second time I've fallen!" He complained.

Misty giggled and helped him up.

"Here, let me do it," she offered.

"No, I'll do it!" yelled Ash, pushing her out of the way.

Ash was now pulling at Brocks tie, fixing the knot when—

"OW! That's too tiiiight."

" Oh sorry Brock, I didn't notice," Ash said innocently.

Brock loosened his tie, gasping for air.

"Nah, it's ok. Thanks anyway man."

Glancing down at his watch he added, "It's getting late. I should probably go now."

Both his friends nodded, walking him to the door.

Brock grabbed the handle, but didn't move.

"Well…this is it you guys!" He said, small tears in his eyes.

Ash chuckled and Misty gave him a lopsided smile.

"Wish me luck." He finished, more serious.

The door shut and Ash waited a few moments before yelling, "Finally! I thought he'd never leave!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Brock! What are you still doing here?" Misty asked.

"I forgot to remind you about the bedtimes! I know I left it all on paper, but this is important, ok so first-

"BROCK! Go get your date!" Ash said, pushing his friend out the door and locking him out.

"But…" he started, tapping at the window.

"Ash is right Brock. You know we've got it all covered. Just relax, this is your big night," Misty encouraged.

He sighed.

"You're right, ok. Thanks guys. I just--"

"GO!" They yelled.

"Alright, alright! I'm going!"

This time, both Ash and Misty watched tentatively through the curtained window until their friend had driven away for sure.

"Ok, NOW he finally left."

The two friends laughed as they settled back on the couch to watch TV.

Ash casually placed his arm around Misty, and was pleased when she didn't object. They both sat comfortably, leaning into each other when they heard snickering from behind.

Turning around, they saw Cindy and Suzie, the youngest sisters, crouching behind the railing and laughing at the 'intimate' scene.

Immediately, Ash jumped back as if he had been on fire while Misty hastily grabbed the phone.

"So what kind of pizza do you want?"

The next chapter will be a little longer as with the others. So all in all, the story is really pretty short. But I just decided to end the first chapter there.

So how am I doing so far? I know parts of it sound rather choppy, or maybe that's just me being the usual perfectionist. lol.

Please Review--nicely, I may add. :D
