Hey everyone! This is my first chapter, so go easy on it. Oh, and PLEASE R&R so that I know what you think. Then, I can change my other chapters and make them "UP TO YOUR STANDARDS". Alright? Well, PLEASE R&R ME! Oh, and enjoy!

'Raining. Of course it was. Today was my special day. The one day in a year and a half that Ash and Brock were going to come up and see me, mainly because today was my birthday. I had to sit at the bus stop and wait, in the rain. I decided to make the best of it; I mean it could be worse. So I leaned my head back on the freezing bench, staring up into the darkening sky. 'I wonder if they missed me. Hopefully Ash has grown up a bit since I last saw him. It seems like it was just yesterday when I last saw them both. And, surprisingly, it was raining that day, too.'

A sudden cold hand woke me from my daydreams. Someone sat down next to me wearing a slick, black overcoat. I couldn't see their face, because it was hidden by their hood, but as soon as I heard their voice I knew who it was….

"Hey Babe, mind if I sit here?" Gary Oak. God, how I despised the creep. "Go away, I'm waiting for someone and I don't want anyone to see YOU near ME!" I screamed the last part at him just so he would know how serious I was, and how muchI wanted him to leave.

He sighed, and then chuckled, "Yeah? So, why can't I sit here? You never DID give a reason." He scooted closer to me on the bench. "I don't have to sit here and explain myself to you!" I spat, and then Ihit him over the head.

"I'm not going to leave you alone until you can think of a reason as to WHY I can't sit at a bus stop just because your there too." He suddenly looked me in the eyes and asked again,

"So, why?" I could feel myself begin to turn red with anger. "First of all, you are just a selfish, rich, little show-off that gets joy out of messing with innocent people, like Ash, until they can't take it! Oh, and another thing, you think you're SO PERFECT and that you could get any girl that you want just by staring at them! So, LEAVE ME, AND THEM FOR THAT MATTER, ALONE!" I yelled as I pushed him clear to the other side of the bench.

He chuckled again, "You know what's funny? Half of what you said is a lie." I got red again, how dare him. 'Okay, calm down Misty. This is supposed to be a good day. Don't let some spoiled snob ruin it. Just let him say what he wants and ignore it.'

"Oh really, Why is that Gary?" I tried to ask in my most calm voice. "Well, first of all, not every girl likes me—sorry, loves me, and that's, you. Or at least you SAY you don't. Plus Ash is NOT innocent. If he was then you wouldn't be sitting here waiting for him for 3 1/2 hours or so, and also, you wouldn't hate me, becauseI KNOW I have NEVER done anything to you, I've probably barely even said two words to you ever.Just face it; you just hate me because I'm mean to your little boyfriend, Ash." He said with a smirk.

I gave him one of my evilest glares trying not to shout a comeback. Then I thought, 'He was right about part of that. I really DON'T have a reason to hate him. Also, Ash does start a lot of fights between him and Gary, and he HAS made me wait here for about 3 hours. -- wait! How could he know how long I've been here for? Oh, forget it, just TRY and be nice to him….try to.'

"You're right. Ash isn't innocent, sorry for yelling at you like that. But, seriously, can you please leave?" I pleaded him, as I gave him my most sympathetic look.

"Wow, were did that apology come from all of a sudden? Heh, you know what's funny? I don't even need to ride the bus, so I don't know why I'm sitting here still. At first I was just going to come and keep you company, or just annoy you. Anyways, since when does Ash take time to appreciate his friends? Is today SPECIAL or something?" He asked as a sly grin danced across his face.

I sighed, "Actually, today IS a special day. Today is my birthday, and I'm wasting it here waiting with one of the biggest jerks of man kind. So, any MORE stupid questions you want to ask?" The grin disappeared suddenly.

"So that jerk is making a pretty lady like yourself waiting for him in the rain,-at a bus stop,-on your birthday? You should be out celebrating, not sitting on a bench getting annoyed by a complete stud like me. Am I right?" He asked as he laid his hand on my shoulder once again.

I brushed it off, thinking, 'He is right- about Ash not him being a "stud". But, what am I suppose to do? If I agree with him he will NEVER leave. Of course if I don't agree, he'll still never leave. Oh well...'

"Oh, I guess you're right, about Ash anyways, not you." His sly grin returned yet again, "good, then how about I take you some where, JUST to make today a LITTLE better. What do you say?"

'I knew better than to agree to such a lowlife jerk, but today WAS supposed to be fun. And I bet the bus won't arrive when I'm gone any ways.'

"Okay, fine. But I am just agreeing with your offer because I'm sick of waiting here." Before I knew it he grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet, "I knew you couldn't resist, no girl can whenever it comes to me asking them out. Any ways, we are going to go eat at "Chorea's" it's the most prestigious restaurant in town.

Soon we were at the fancy entrance. I couldn't believe it, all my life I had wanted to know what it felt like to be IN the beautiful building rather than staring at it from across the street. Once we entered, Gary chose a table near a window facing the bus stop.

"There, now if your boyfriend's bus comes, we'll know." 'I was going to shout back at him the clear fact that Ash was clearly NOT my boyfriend, but chose not to consider the fact that he was going to spend soooo much money on dinner for my birthday! '

'I guess he wasn't really as bad as every one made him out to be, well Ash anyway. I don't know how long we were there, but for the first few minutes we sat in silence. Then, he started to talk about his pokemon and all of their progress. Finally, he asked me about mine. Of course I told him all about how each of them were, their attacks, and etc. Soon enough, we left and I was standing by the bench at the bus station again.'

"So, I hope that your birthday wasn't completely awful. See ya around." I smiled up at him, "Yeah, thank you for everything, really. I mean, I could have been sitting on this bench this whole time." I quickly changed my tone when he flashed me one of his, 'I knew I could get any girl, any time I wanted' grins.

"But that doesn't mean you are any less of a jerk then you were before!" I turned around and sat down on the icy cold bench, with my arms crossed square across my chest. "Okay, whatever. See ya." He started to walk away, but then he stopped, and turned around.

"Tell Ashy-boy that I'll be looking forward to a match with him." Then he stalked off with his nose in the air. "Yeah, whatever. Bye." I stood up for a second staring after him. "Hey Gary, thanks." He waved good-bye and continued walking.

Soon enough, the bus appeared out of the darkness. It stopped under the dim street light as the doors opened. I saw a short familiar, spiky haired kid. Ash. He jumped out from the last step of the bus as another figure appeared which turned out to be, Brock.

But, surprisingly, there were two more figures emerging from the bus it was Max and,

oh god, May. How much I hated her with that ugly brown hair and her stupid short skirt. How could Ash like such a slut? Oh well, Just flash them a smile and forget about it, maybe you'll get the chance to make her look like a completely awful trainer in a battle.
