Hello peoples

Hello peoples. This is yet another AAMRN story written by the lovable Joy-girl! *Ahem* I'm ok, really!

Anyway, if anyone already thought of this idea and this is similar, sorry, I had no idea, ok? Cool.

And here we are!

Ages ~

Ash ~ 14

Misty ~ 14

Brock ~ 17

The reason why.

~ Do you hate me? ~

Ash and Misty were fighting. (Again) About who knows what.

"Do not!" Ash pouted.

"Do too!" Misty retorted.

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do – what don't I do?"

"I don't know, but I do know is that I'm right and you do, uh, whatever it is that you do!"

"Oh, and what is this thing that I don't do?"

"You, uh, you, you, snore! Yeah!"

"Oh, and like you don't!"

"I do not! You take that back!"

"Never!"

"Ash Ketchum you are so dense!"

And Misty pulled out her mallet and hit Ash upside the head.

"Ow…."

"Serves you right!"

Pikachu and Brock simply ignored them and continued doing whatever they were doing.

Misty stormed out towards the woods near the water.

When Misty was gone Ash sat up and rubbed his head miserably. Why does she have to do that? Doesn't she know I hate to fight with her? I know she hates me, but what I want to know is, why?

Ash sighed and sat down beside Brock who was looking at something.

"Hey Brock?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing?"

"What's it look like?"

Ash looked at what Brock was looking at. It was a huge photo album full of pictures of Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny.

"Oh brother!" Ash mumbled he got up and sat down on a log facing the woods. Pikachu noticed his trainer's sad attitude and decided to see what was wrong.

"Pikachu Pika-Pi?" ((What's wrong Pika-Pi?))"

"Huh? Oh, nothing."

"Pikachu. ((Oh please.))" Pikachu said rolling his eyes. He imitated Ash. He sat down with his back slumped and his chin resting in his hands. He sighed loudly.

Ash couldn't help but laugh. "Okay Pikachu! You're right." He remained silent for a moment thinking of how to tell Pikachu.

"Pikachu, do you think Misty hates me?" he asked bluntly.

"Pika? Pikachu pika pi. Pika? ((Misty? Defiantly not. Why?))"

"I don't know, I mean she seems to. It's not like she acts like she likes me or anything, in fact, I think she likes to fight with me or…"

"Pikachu. ((I think she's scared.))"

"Scared?"

"Pi. ((Yea.))"

"Why would she be scared."

Pikachu shrugged. "Pikachu pika? ((Why don't you go ask her?))"

"I guess, but she probably won't tell em anything."

"Pikachu. ((You never know.))"

"Yea, I guess your right. I'll see you later Pikachu!"

"Pika! ((Bye!))" Pikachu waved to Ash who was walking in the direction misty went out of.

(Misty's POV)

I don't know how long I've been sitting here. I like it here. It's peaceful and beautiful. I sighed. One of these days I'll have to tell Ash why, but will he accept it? No. I'd better not.

"Misty?"

I jumped about a mile. I wasn't expecting him!

"Ash! Don't sneak up on me again like that you hear?"

"Misty…"

"I hate that!"

"Misty!"

"You can be so insensitive sometimes!"

Ash was silent after a while. I knew it! I said something wrong now Ash was going to leave me and –

"Misty do you hate me?"

I stared at him. He really thought that didn't he!

"You do, don't you."

"No! Of course not!"

"Then, why do you act like it?"

"Oh Ash, I, I don't mean it!"

I moved over on my rock and left room for Ash to sit down.

"Really?"

"Yea, you're, you're one of my best friends!"

Ash smiled. I smiled, but it was slightly fake, and unfortunately, I knew Ash would notice. He immediately frowned and tried to look me in the eyes. I simply looked at the ground.

"Misty, do you, what I mean is, do, do you like me?"

I looked back at him.

"What do you mean, 'like'?"

"I mean, well, do you, do you, uh, do you like me as more than a friend?"

I blinked. Was he saying what I think he was saying?

"You mean love?"

"Uh, yeah…"

I started to shake. Ash immediately put his arms around me. Why did he have to ask that question? I'm not ready! I mean, do I really trust him?

"Ash, I, I do."

Ash smiled happily and hugged me. I just sat there. Why did I say it? Now he would laugh at me or worse –

"I live you too Misty."

I looked at him with wonder, then I looked at the ground and said, "No you don't."

I could just see Ash's confused, hurt, and sad face watching me, wondering why.

"What do you mean, 'I don't'?"

"I mean you don't."

I looked him in the eye.

He was so innocent, maybe, just maybe, he meant it.

"Misty, how would you know?"

"I…" Should I tell him? I looked in his eyes once again. They were pleading with me to tell him why I think he wouldn't love me. I took in a deep breath and started.

"When I was five years old, I was best friends with my parents. Their favorite actually, and I loved them dearly. One day, when I was seven, they died in a car accident."

I could feel Ash's sympathetic arms fall around me to encourage me to go on.

"About five years later when I was ten, I met a boy."

Ash looked nervous. "A boy? As in boyfriend?"

"Wait till I finish! Now, the boy's name was Chad. At first, I really didn't like him; I was cared actually at first because I had lost trust in everyone. Ever since mom and dad died it was just me and my sisters, who you know weren't too nice. But Chad was nice. I learned to trust all over again, in fact I fell in love with him, or so I thought,"

I was going to cry. I could feel it. Ash hugged me even tighter despite the fact I could see jealousy written all over his face.

"One day, he took me to a movie. It was an old movie. There wasn't anybody there except me and Chad. He put his arm around me and started to kiss me…."

(Flash-back)

"Chad, I don't think we should…"

"Come on Misty! I think we should."

"No Chad! I- I don't want to!"

"Well I want to!" He rose out of his seat and tackled Misty to the ground. "I've waited a whole year and I'm going to get what I waited for!"

Misty gasped. He lied! And she trusted him!

(End Flash-back)

"That IDOIT if I ever see him…"

"Ash! Don't interrupt!"

"Sorry…"

"As I was saying…"

(Flash-back)

Misty gasped and backed away from the advancing Chad. He grabbed her arm and tried to pin her to the ground. Suddenly, Misty felt the rage build inside of her. She pushed him up and kicked him right were it hurts, then she slapped him and punched him.

(End Flash-back)

"GO MISTY!"

"ASH STOP INTERUPTING OR I'LL DO THE SAME TO YOU!!"

Ash shut-up immediately.

"ANYWAY… When I got home my sisters were waiting; they told me they just heard what he was planning to do. And do you know what the worst part was Ash?"

"…"

"Ash?"

"…"

"ASH!!!!"

"You told me not to talk!"

"Grrr, ANYWAY… they told me he already had a girlfriend who knew about this and I actually trusted him!"

"Oh Myst…"

I leaned over and cried on Ash's shoulder. Would Ash still accept me?

(Normal POV)

Misty finally looked up after getting Ash's shirt thoroughly wet.

"Ash?"

"Yea, Myst?"

"Do you really mean what you said, about loving me?"

"Every word Misty, and I'll never do what that creep did to you, you can trust me as much as you want."

Misty smiled hugely at him and hugged him tight.

Never Misty! I'll never do that to you. I'll get Chad! Ash thought in rage. No one gets away without hurting Misty.

So… Did you like it? Should I make a sequel, or should I just forget about it and call it a loser attempt? TELL ME!!!!
