Better Things to Worry About

Me: I do not own Pokémon! If I did Misty would never have left the show! And the theme tune wouldn't suck now.

Anyway we're starting where we left off! Misty is confessing something to Ash!

"Really? What's up Mist?" said Ash as his eyes filled with worry

"Mist" I shivered when he called me that, his little nickname for me, I adore it, deep breaths "Mist" deep breaths...

"Well I've wanted to tell you since the Orange Islands..." Misty lurched her head forward and kissed Ash on the cheek!

"'I'm in love with you" she whispered softly into his ear.

Shock jolted through his young body, and his mind was going into overload

WHAT! She loves me? I don't know if I even see her in that way I mean sure she's my friend and a very pretty girl but...Love? I've never had a crush or even had people have a crush on ME before... I need to get away from her until my mind clears. Sorry Mist.

Misty turned to look at Ash's face he looked terrified, as if he'd seen a Haunter or something.

"Ash? Are you ok...?" He doesn't feel the same...I knew it, Why do I have to always be fourth to my sisters...

"M-Mi-Misty a g-g-girlfriend" he stuttered, shaking like he was having a seizure. Even Pikachu looked scared, he knew his Master and Misty BOTH liked each other which was confusing him because based on the humans expressions the confession hadn't gone well and he could tell it was going to get worse

"Pi Pikachu Pipi" Pikachu squeaked down Ash's ears. No response. "PIIIIKACHUUUUUUUU!" Ash was abducted from his thoughts and sent into a powerful but painful thunderbolt attack.

"! Pi-ka-chuuuuuuu st-to-p!" Ash cried.

Pikachu did as he was told and looked over to his Master; he still hadn't answered Misty...

"Ash...aren't you going to give me an answer?" Misty sat down on the grass awaiting heartbreak. Ash looked at the beautiful girl sympathetically, he didn't want to lie to make her feel better, and neither did he want to tell the truth. In the end he settled with the truth.

"Misty I'm flattered but..." At the hearing of the word "but" Misty was crestfallen "Say no more Ash I understand..."

"It's not that I don't love you because you're ugly! You're far from it! I just see you more as a sister than a girlfriend, I'm sure you'll find someone better and who you deserve more" Ash knew this was killing them both but he didn't know how to love a girl and his dense little brain thought this was the best way to handle it, he was also aware that he was digging himself a hole.

"You...You think I'm ugly!" A hurt Misty had misunderstood him, she cried into her top while thoughts coursed through her mind.

I can't even look at him anymore, he's really THAT shallow, looks huh? I have none of those , my sisters have it all well apart from the fact Daisy get's a Krabby mixed up with a Kabuto, How that's possible I do not know. But what matters is that Ash...rejected me.

Misty cried even harder into her top while Ash just sat on the grass next to his sleeping bag, possibly avoiding her. In the end his kind heart gave in and he went over to comfort her. Misty sobbed into his navy blue jacket (his original clothing) Ash was still flabbergasted from before but plucked up the courage to wrap his arms around her as she cried "shhhh" was the only sound he was able to make at this time as he rocked her fragile body back and forth like Misty was a baby.

After what seemed for hours Misty finally calmed down, she then looked up at Ash who had fallen asleep with her in his arms, then immediately started blubbering again. This made Ash jump and he awoke to find Misty STILL crying.

I'm a horrible, horrible person. Oh Misty I'm so sorry, don't you worry things will be better for you in the morning...I hope.

Misty stopped crying for the slightest second and looked at Ash, his eyes were closed as if he were deep in thought and she could of sworn she saw a single tear trickling down his cheek. She then fell asleep still in Ash's arms.

Ash's POV (Dreaming / Thoughts)

Misty I'm sorry I can't travel with you knowing that you feel that way, I wish I knew if I did or not...You are safer back at Cerulean Gym though. But looking back I don't know how I didn't guess you liked me in the first place, I mean whenever I asked you why you were travelling with Me and Brock in Kanto you'd always stammer before bringing up the whole thing that happened with your bike. And in the Orange Islands you were so jealous of Melody, even though you did deny you liked me, Oh Misty I feel awful. My head feels as though multiple Rhyhorns are repeatedly charging into it. I need to talk to Brock about this, just please don't hate me for what I'm about to do...

Ash gazed above him to take in the beauty of the night sky, the moon glistened in the reflections of light from the stars, and He gave a half smile and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Me: 2nd chapter DONE!

Ash: *curls up into a ball*

Misty: What's wrong Ash?

Ash: That's just so...so sad, good job on this chapter DarkWerewolfess

Me: Awwh cheer up Ash *gives him a hug* it gets better! And thank you

Ash: Misty?

Misty: Yeah Ash?

Ash: I'd never do that to you in real life ever! Your my best friend, I'd never hurt you!

Me: Dawwwwwh your so cute Ash!

Ash: Hehe

Me: Anyway! 3rd Chapter is currently being made; I'm just suffering a terrible writer's block

Ash: Don't forget to tell them to R&R!

Me: Ash do you want a tissue for your eyes...you have tears all down your face!
