Disclamer: Sigh... I do not own Pokemon, Ash, or Misty. Which makes me sad. Nor do I own the sky, sunset, or lake, but that's alright! :D
Beautiful
The lake sparkled as the sun set over it. The sky was pink and orange, and the clouds were turned the same. The lake rippled over and over as there was small breeze coming over the water.
Beautiful. Just Beautiful, Misty thought to herself as she crossed one leg over the other in a lady-like manner. The cliff she was sitting on made for a perfect view.
The redhead looked down at her tattered dress, the shoes to match sitting beside her. She wiped her turquoise eyes and saw black on her hand where her make up had run. Red rings surrounded the black from the tears she shed, and her cheeks were blotchy.
"Amazing view, huh?" A voice from behind startled her. She turned around and her eyes met a pair of chocolate ones. Her best friend had come when she needed him.
She felt the lump in her throat rise higher. Nodding, she faced the scenery again, and the lump went back down. The owner of the chocolate eyes took a seat beside her, legs dangling over the edge freely.
"Everyone was worried about you," Ash stated, breaking a brief, comfortable silence.
"Sorry," She mumbled, looking down again at the dress she had bought for her stupid date. Wanting to spend the money she saved for something special, she had bought it for her first date. What a mistake. She thought to herself, adding a headshake along with it.
"Do...you want to talk about it?" The young boy hesitated slightly. Misty sighed, knowing she couldn't keep it bottled up forever.
"He picked me up, and we went to a wonderful restaurant," She started, new tears forming in her eyes. "He kept trying to kiss me, but you know I don't kiss on the first date. I told him that over and over, but he wouldn't respect my wishes.
"After dinner, he told me the real reason he asked me out. The jerk had made a bet with his friend that he could kiss the ugliest, scrawniest girl he could find before his friend could. He said obviously he wasn't going to win. He offered to take me home, but I refused to ride with him. So, I walked." The tears fell freely from her eyes as she looked down.
A few moments had passed when Ash grabbed Misty's hand. She looked up at his chocolate eyes, and he stared back at her turquoise ones.
"Mist, you're not ugly or scrawny. You're... You're beautiful to me," A blush found it's way onto the boy's cheeks.
The redhead's eyes grew wide, and a smile formed on her lips. She gave him a bear hug, wanting to embrace him forever and never let go. The two sat watching the sunset together, and even when it was gone, they viewed the stars of the night trying to find constellations. It was all beautiful.
