this is the sequel to my previous deviation "Their Feelings

previously on AaML: the fanfic

"...They forgot all about us didn't they?" Lily asks

"Yup. Not that that's a bad thing..." Daisy says as she takes a picture with her phone "Hey lovebirds! Are you going to stop your passionate lovemaking anytime soon?"

Ash and Misty separate with major blushes on their faces "Oh yeah I forgot my sisters were here" Misty remembers

"Well have you told anyone else about this?" Daisy asks "I mean you did tell the whole world you'd be popping over here. Why isn't this place swarming with reporters?"

"Well, I've only seen Interviewers at the entrances of shops, and battling trainers" Ash answers [poking fun at the fact that Interviewers ARE only at the entrances of shops and battling trainers] "So I guess I'm in the clear for now!" He says as he puts his arms behind his back and flashes a cheesy grin

(I see some parts of him haven't changed!) Misty thinks, looking at Ash "Well I'm glad that noone will interrupting us on any of our future dates!" Misty exclaims very happily, embracing her boyfriend
"But... where are your friends? Like Brock, May, Max, Dawn and those new ones of yours? Who were... Ciquan and Myris?" Misty wonders

"Cilan and Iris" Ash answers "And they're all visiting their families, but will be coming over at my birthday, which is two weeks from now." He explains "I think we should announce our relationship then!" He concludes, plotting something BIG. What? I'm not telling!

"I second that!" Misty says, glomping him once again (yay! I get to tell our friends/my former love rivals!)

Two weeks is a long time, but not for Authorman! Quick grab my imaginary tail! *Reader grabs the tail, unbeknownst to him/her*ADVENCHA! IN TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVELING !

Two weeks later, at the Ketchum residence, with the party in full swing_

"Hey Ashy-boy! Got a boyfriend yet?" Gary asks teasingly
"I told you, I don't swing that way!" Ash retorts angrily
"I know! Now how about a girlfriend?"
"I... shut up" Ash storms off

*tink tink* Ash 'tinks' a glass [of pop! Ash is too immature for wine!] "Everyone can I have your attention?" He calls to everyone
"I hate tension and rambling, so I'll just say it: Me..." He grabs Misty and pulls her into the spotlight with him "and Misty are dating"

...

...

"Umm, why isn't everyone surprised?" Ash asks, bewildered

Max steps up "Well, we knew from the beginning of the party; whenever one wasn't staring at the other, the other was staring back with love hearts in their eyes. Figuratively of course."

"R-really?" Ash and Misty ask and blush in unison.

"Yup. Doesn't everyone else agree?" Max asks as the whole crowd nods like a huge 'wave' "But that doesn't mean we don't accept it! We all knew your two feelings since we all met you"

"Yeah!" his sister May chimes in "Hooray for the newly announced couple!" She yells and the whole crowd joins in
"And we need to hear the WHOLE story after this dies down!" May and Dawn exclaim

...
"Wow, that was hectic. They kept asking questions non-stop" Misty sighs as she accepts a drink from Ash. "Thanks"

"No problem." Ash answers, flashing his usual goofy grin. (C'mon Ash! You gotta ask her!) "So what did they ask you?"

"Oh the usual things one would normally ask: Who confessed first, how long we'd been dating, how many times we've kissed, that type of stuff. I even told them about the untimely appearance of Team Rocket, which they laughed at." She explains with a slight smile.

"Yeah, who wouldn't?"
"Team Rocket?"
"Haha, yeah..."

"Say Misty?" Ash asks
"Mmm?"
"Can I show you somewhere?" He asks nervously
"Sure, lead the way!"(where's he taking me?)

...
"Well Misty, you remember this place?" He asks
"No way... This is..." Misty stares open mouthed at the place Ash had taken her to
"Yes?"
"This is the place where we first met... This river"
"That's correct" Ask answers. "and I must say, the couple years we travelled have been the happiest days of my life, even when we fought. I never thought that girl who pulled me out of this river would become my girlfriend. I was wondering..."

(Is he going where I think he is?) Misty asks herself

"Mist, I want to make our relationship more concrete..."
(No way)
Ash gets on one knee and brings out Misty's old handkerchief, folded up "C'mon open it."
*Misty opens it to reveal a silver ring with a jewel the shape of a waterdrop* "No way..." Seriously Ash?"
"Yes Misty, will you marry me?"

"Misty?"
"You Idiot! As if I could say no!" Misty super-glomps her fiancée "I love you Ash."
"I love you more Misty Ketchum." Ash whispers into Misty's ear
"Wanna Bet?" Misty whispers back with a mischievous grin on her face
"I don't know, do you want to? It's hard to commit to a losing battle" They grin and pull into their first kiss as soon-to-be-weds, a truly memorable one at that too...

"You think everyone will be surprised?" Misty asks with the ring on her ring finger
"Of course! We just told them about us going out!" Ash answers while thinking of their surprised faces

Back at the Ketchum residence
"Hey guys we're back!" Ash and Misty yell as they enter the house
"So Ash..." Brock starts as the couple sits down and Ash gets a plastic cup of soda
"Hmm?"
"When are you going to propose?"
*PPFFFFFFFF*and *Hands Brock a towel*
"I'm not going to" Ash says grinning
"WHAT? Don't you love each other?"
"Yep but what's the need of 2 proposals?" Misty joins in, showing her engagement ring

Everyone stares at the ring

"OH MY ARCEUS CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO!" everyone especially Delia (the 'older' Mrs. Ketchum) cheers

"Wow Ashy-boy, when you're slow in realizing you're lightning quick in other things eh?" Gary comments at his former rival

"And by the way 'Ashy-boy', be prepared. Our sister is a tough one to please!" The sensational sisters warn Ash

"Are you kidding?" Misty says after getting her excited friends off of her "He's pleased me enough over the years! He can keep me for a lifetime!" She glomps him AGAIN [uncontrollable little...]

"Ohh boy..." Ash says with a sweatdrop
"What did you say honey?" Misty Ketchum asks
"Oh nothing..." Ash rallies as he kisses her once again...

*later, after most of the guests left and gave the soon-to-be-married couple their congratulations*
"Wait... I just noticed something..." Ash realizes, dread in his eyes
"What?" Misty asks, curious
"Who's going to do the cooking?"
*WHAM* "Ash you idiot! What did you think I was doing these past 5 years? Thankfully, with Delia's constant support, my cooking is now over par!" She states, flashing a victory pose"
"Whew! Hopefully I'll be able to live long enough to see our grandchildren!" Ash says, relieved
*Misty blushes and stares at her stomach* "Oh don't worry! We'll have half of that dream done soon enough!" She exclaims winking at Ash
"You got that right!" He says, pulling Misty into a spinning hug "But let's get to bed first, for real" He indicates both their tired eyes

"Hey Ash honey?" Delia questions from another room
"Yeah?"
"Brock didn't book a room at the hotel. Can you and Misty share your bed?"
"Oh!" he glances at Misty, both with blushes "Sure I guess!"
"and Misty?"
"Yes Delia?"
"You make sure he wears new 'you-know-whats' everyday when you two are married!" Delia concludes
"MOM!"
