A New Misty's Song – Part 1
Misty's Denial
By CuteMew
Disclaimer: Don't sue me.
A/N: This takes place the morning after Misty sings "Misty's Song" (the one on 2BA Master) If you've ever heard it or even just heard of it, it would probably make more sense… The song Misty sings in this fic goes to the same tune.
Another A/N: You MUST read the lyrics to understand the fic!!! The lyrics aren't from "Misty's Song", there sorta like a "Misty's Song" filk.
"Hey, Misty? Last night I thought I heard you singing a song or something…" Ash said, yawning.
"Oh… um…" Misty stuttered.
"And don't try and deny it, I heard you nice and clear. Your 'Who, me?' gimmick won't work." Ash taunted.
"Oh, ok. I was singing a song."
"How does it go?"
"I, um don't really wanna say…"
"And why is that?"
"Oh, um, fine. Alright. I'll sing it for you. Ahem." Misty cleared her throat and started crooning her song loudly.
"Out here on the dampened forest ground
Next to the bugs... oh, ew…
There's something that I must put up with year-round
I'll readily admit, 'coz it's true
"You look at me, I make a face
"I wanna tell you that I hate you, but I don't know how to start
I wanna tell you, but I'm afraid that I'll break your puny heart
Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling
And to say that, I hate you
"I practice all the things that I could say
And I hope it doesn't make you mad
I tell myself today could be the day
But I really don't wanna make you sad
"I look at you, you make a face
"I wanna tell you that I hate you, but I don't know how to start
I wanna tell you, but I'm afraid that I'll break your puny heart
Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling
And to say that, I hate you
"Why, why can't you give it back?
You ruined it, so give me a new bike!
I try, but I can't pretend that I
Don't need to ride away from you
It's you I dislike
I wanna tell you, but I'm afraid that I'll break your puny heart
Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling
And to say that…
"I wanna tell you that I hate you, but I don't know how to start
I wanna tell you, but I'm afraid that I'll break your puny heart
Oh, why should anything so easy, ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling
And to say that, I hate you."
When Misty finished the song, she looked up at Ash. To her surprise, Ash had a sort of hurt expression on his face.
"Is that song…is that about m-me?" Ash stuttered.
"Um…yeah…" Misty said, already sorry she had sung such an untrue song.
She must be telling the truth
, Ash thought sadly. All this time I thought she considered me a good friend, maybe even kinda *liked* me… But I was wrong. She was following me all this time just because of the bike, but she hated me and didn't want to hurt my feelings. *I* care about her though, maybe she'd be happier if I just bought her a bike so she could leave.Ash sighed. "What's wrong?" Misty asked.
"Oh, nothing. Can you excuse me for a while?" Ash said, biting back tears.
"Ok…" Misty murmured. What have I done? Now he'll hate me too, I'll never have another chance to tell him how I really feel…
When she looked up, Ash was gone.

Misty soon became bored, with no one to talk with. Brock was still asleep, so she decided to just sleep also, until Ash returned.
Three hours later, Misty woke up, and was surprised to find a shiny new red bicycle that looked just like her old one right next to her. She got up and saw a note attached to the handle bar. This is Ash's handwriting… she realized.
Dear Misty
I'm really sorry about ruining your bike. I just managed to save enough money to buy one for you, so here it is. I hope you like it.
Anyway, I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble. I always knew you didn't like me much, but I never thought you hated me… I guess I am dense, just like you always say. I hope you'll be happier with your new bike and without me bothering you anymore. I've decided to leave the group and just travel on my own. I guess since you hate me, Brock probably doesn't like me much either.
Goodbye, Misty. I'll miss you, even if you won't miss me. I love you, and I'll always love you.
-Ash
"Nooo!" Misty sobbed. It's all my fault… it's all my fault…
Ok, I know that the song that Misty sings doesn't make entire sense, partly coz in the story Misty was kinda nervous and just made it up on the spot, and partly coz I'm odd. Please review! Thanks!!! -CuteMew
