Another time...

Dear Miss. Waterflower,

I saw that guy again! But he made me even more mad than last time! He insulted me again and again! But...he gave me a rose. Well...he said it was for my Beautifly. It's beautiful. I will treasure it forever- I mean, I'm sure Beautifly will. AND he creamed me in a contest without batting an eyelid. D'you think he likes me or not?

Me again!

ConfusedCoordinator

Dear ConfusedCoordinator,

A rose! A red rose, is it? Hmm...haven't you ever seen TV at all? A rose signifies liking at the very least. As for the Beautifly thing...well, he sounds like the mysterious romantic type to me. If you don't get my point, read the last sentence again. M-Y-S-T-E-R-I-O-U-S. He's not gonna say out loud: 'Oh here's a rose, hope you like it, I got it especially for you!' He doesn't want to let you know he likes you would be my first guess. I mean, have you told him? Nope. Same difference except that his big sis probably told him what to do. Boys don't think of that type of stuff on their own.

They're a very strange species.

Miss. Waterflower

Miss. Waterflower,

I saw that girl again...but I still insulted her. I can't help it, she's so innocent and innocent rage is really funny. I dropped a hint, though. I gave her a red rose. Well, technically her Beautifly but...I like to be mysterious. I'm not gonna say out loud: 'Oh, here's a rose, hope you like it, I got it especially for you!' It's just not my style.

Sincerely,

TheFanClubMagnet

Misty, who was beginning to see a pattern between ConfusedCoordinator and TheFanClubMagnet, giggled as she wrote her reply.

Drew,

I'm not calling you that. I'm sure she likes you. I'm sure, trust me. Just tell her.

You have a style?

Miss. Waterflower

To Miss. Waterflower,

I didn't say you were bossy. I said she was bossy. Awesome! Guess what! You have the same name as the girl I have a crush on! How weird is that?! But how do I talk to her? My computer's stopped working, and I don't know how to work a bellybone.

Merry Christmas!

To Ash,

I have four things to write to you. One, Christmas was almost a month ago. Two, it's a telephone. Three, how are you writing to me if your computer's stopped working? Four, I AM THE GIRL YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU IDIOT! At least, I am Misty Waterflower, I have three sisters called Daisy, Lily and Violet, we work at the Cerulean gym where you won the Cascade badge against me, and you have a Pikachu that electrocuted my bike, we travelled with Brock and Team Rocket kept trying to steal that Pikachu!!!!!!

Does that at least give you some clue who I am?

Misty

Dear Misty,

I told Ash his computer wasn't working. Sorry if that caused you grief or anything. You didn't answer my question- properly. ANSWER ME OR I WILL...OR I WILL...actually, I'll just keep going as I am. BUT ANSWER ME ANYWAY!

Can you tell me what your email address is so I don't keep having to write to the magazine?

Brock

Brock,

I wouldn't answer that if it were the only question I got in my column. And it's: SHARE THIS WITH NO-ONE! By the way, just to help me out, you know Drew? Famous co-ordinator, watch him on TV a lot? Yeah, he's one of my correspondences and he likes a girl. He says he hands her roses and he likes to make her mad. Any idea who it might be?

Thanks: still not answering,

Misty
