ash and mistys childhood friendship...

Ash, who was 6 years old, was an adventurous little boy, and he wasnt afraid to get messy. queen Delia would always take him to the beach letting him run about till he got tired and wanted to go home.

Two years have passed since he came to the beach with his mother. he had snuck out of the palace one day and ran to the beach to clear his mind of how much Felia scolded him.

"Its nice to play with friends but not if they arent into what I wanna play!" mutters Ash angrily.

"Play with what friends?" called a voice.

Ash jumped up and looked around.

"Whos there?" wonders Ash.

"Look in the water dummy!" called the voice.

"Water? The ocean?" wonders Ash curiously.

"Yes the ocean!" giggles the voice.

"I cant swim!" says Ash.

"Thats a shame! I always swim with the dolphins and create my own games!" says the voice.

Ash walked up to where the waves touch the sand.

"Where are you?" wonders Ash.

"Guess silly!" says the voice.

"I can hear you but cant see you!" says Ash looking around.

The voice went silent.

"Uhhh hello?" wonders Ash confused.

"BOO!" yells a girl showing her face.

"AAAAHHH!" says Ash falling backwards.

"A human? No you arent harmful! You are just a kid!" says the girl.

"Whatya talking about?" wonders Ash lost in confusion.

The girl giggled as she moved to a rock to sit on it.

"A...a...a..." says Ash surprised.

"A mermaid! Yes I am! Whatcha gonna do boy? Run to your mommy saying you saw a mermaid?" wonders the mermaid.

"Wow!" says Ash sparkle eyed.

"Why are you looking at me like im the most amazing thing ever seen?" wonders the mermaid.

"Well this is the first ive ever seen an actual mermaid!" says Ash amazed.

"Point taken! My name is Misty and my father hates humans!" says Misty.

"Well Misty mermaid, The names Ash! Ii just came here to get away from the palace!" says Ash.

"Palace life?" wonders Misty.

"Ya! Though im not the type of person who is refined and elegant!" says Ash.

"Yet you live at a palace?" wonders Misty.

"Doesnt everyone?" wonders Ash.

"Are you brain dead!?" wonders Misty.

"What?" wonders Ash.

"Im just gonna say you only know royalty! not so much commoners!" says Misty.

"Dont you live at a palace?" wonders Ash.

"I do...kinda!" says Misty.

"Oh?" wonders Ash.

"I do live at a palace but everyone is trying to keep me from new and exciting places! You get what I mean?" wonders Misty.

"You wanna get away from palace life? But your like what 7?" wonders Ash sitting by Misty.

"I told myself when im older I wanna be part of a life where it wouldnt matter who you are or where you came from as long as you are happy together!" says Misty.

"Thats a big step! I hate the palace rules but I love my mom and can never leave her!" says Ash.

efore they knew it, it started getting late and everyone at the palace was looking for Ash especially his mother. Ash started hearing the cries of his name being called and jumped up.

"Wait...when can we meet again?" wonders Misty.

"Wait for me every 3 years!" says Ash.

"Every 3 years?" wonders Misty.

"Bring something to remember us by if need be!" says Ash.

"You wanna be friends with me?" wonders Misty.

"Iif i dont show up we cant be firends!" says Ash growing concerned.

"Ash.." says Misty.

"Im sorry! The palace staff must be worried!" says Ash and took off.

"ASH WHATYA TRYING TO SAY!?" yells Misty confused.

Ash was gone.

"You goofball!" giggles Misty and jumped back into the ocean and swam home.
