Notes: I was inspired in a short Ash and Misty flavourish dream last night. When I woke up, I was all "KAWAII!" so I wrote about it, and here it is! ^_^

What's Love, Misty?

Ash and Misty sat in the middle of the night, on a rock by the beach. The water rhythmically lapped back and forth. The soft, damp sand beneath their feet was comforting.

Ash and Misty had been having a conversation about life, in general, when -- -

Ash shot Misty a disgusted look of disapproval. "What's with girls, and love?" he asked; mostly to himself.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Misty asked; slightly impatiently.

"Well..." Ash paused, "what is with girls, and their romantic fantasies and dreams, and stuff..." Ash trailed off.

Misty blushed faintly, and smiled a determined smile. "We just think that love is one of the most important things in the world, and us, being a lot more romantic than Misty paused to give a cocked-eyebrow glance at Ash, before continuing, "like to daydream often, and..." Misty trailed off, as her eyes shined and she blushed with a small smile.

Ash smirked slightly. "Hey, Misty..." he said softly. Misty blushed a bit deeper, our ot shock, before turning to Ash. "Yeah, Ash?"

"Have you ever...you know..." Ash blushed faintly, "...had a crush...on anyone, before?" he asked uncomfortably, with a hopeful look.

Misty smiled warmly, "Yeah," she answered softly.

Ash looked at the ground, before looking up to meet her face again. "Anyone I know?" he asked, as a small, playful grin played on his face.

Misty smiled again. "Yes," she said simply, looking at him with a curious smile.

Ash seemed interested. "Aww, come on Misty!" he whined. "You can tell me who it is...I won't tell anyone--I promise!"

Misty appeared to think about it. "Okay, Ash," she said calmly. "I like..." she quickly pecked him on the cheek, with a small blush. "You."

Ash's hand slowly reached where she had kissed him, before he blushed. "You like me?" he asked in disbelief, as Misty nodded with a small smile. "Yep - always have, always will."

"Well," Ash seemed to be thinking. "Well," he repeated, "I like you too, Misty!" he smiled widely, before Misty giggled. "Oh, Ash!" she said with a happy smile, and a small blush. "That's so sweet!" she hugged him, and Ash smiled; not forgetting to hug back.

Misty slowly put her head on Ash's shoulder. Ash smiled at her, before looking out at the beautiful ocean, with the reflection of the bright moon, that shone proudly up in the night sky.

"What's love, Misty?" he asked curiously, looking down at her.

She stiffled a yawn, before smiling up at him. "Confusing, romantic, happy, sad, stressful, and...amazing all at once," she said.

Ash yawned. "Have you ever experienced it, Myst?"

Misty smiled again. "Yes...I am now," she said with a small yawn. "'Night Ash," she said sleepily.

"'Night Misty," Ash said warmly back, before adding, "love you."

"Love you, too," Misty whispered.
