Alrighty! Second chapter edited ^^! Tried to keep a lot to the original story, and after not reading it for do long, forgot how short this chapter is o_o…

I'm sorry if any of this offends anyone. I didn't mean for it to. Please comment if you have any concerns, want me to make a story like this for another shipping, if its good/bad, improvements, etc… I don't own Pokémon, this is only a fan-made story. I do own this story though. Thank you and enjoy!


"See you later, Ash! Goodbye Ms. Ketchum, and thank you for letting me stay!" called Misty from the door.

"Misty wait!" Ash hollered, tumbling down the stairs in his PJ and static hair. It was already 11 in the morning, though apparently he just woke up. "You're leaving?"

"Yeah, well, the gym needs me. My Garydos has gone wild again, my sisters left out of town yesterday and the only one to take care of the place is Golduck! You remember Psyduck right? He evolved when he got one of his signature headaches and managed to beat Staryu!" Misty sighed in frustration. She really hoped she could stay longer, even after her confession last night, but her duty as gym leader came first. "I'll call when I get there, ok?" She said sadly as she opened her arms wide to give Ash a goodbye hug. Ash still felt uncomfortable with Misty giving him hugs, since yesterday was the first time they'd hugged… Ever.

"Ok, see you later then…" said Ash accepting Misty's hug uneasily. He felt something wet drop onto his shirtsleeve, but he ignored it. After a few seconds they pulled away. A smile plastered on her face, Misty started walking down the same dirt road Ash had come from not too long ago.

A wave of nostalgia passed through him. Before she disappeared from sight Ash called, "One day we'll have a battle in your gym again! Promise?"

"Promise!" Misty yelled back waving as Delia and still sleepy Pikachu came to the door. Tears of sadness welled up in Misty's eyes as she watched the boy that trashed her bike get smaller and smaller until he disappeared from view. She wanted to shout, "Oh yeah, and you still owe me a bike!" But she knew her voice would crack, so she let it be.

Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder and rubbed Ash's face with his cheek.

"Well buddy, I guess we won't be seeing much of Misty for a while." Ash sighed. "At least everything that needed to be done was done last night."

"Pikachu… PIKA-PI! (Wait a minute… ASH!)" Exclaimed Pikachu, clearly confused.

"What? No, Pikachu, not that! No, we just talked something through…" replied Ash.

"Chaaa… (Phew)" Pikachu was relieved to hear that!

"A~ash, come in for breakfast. I made my special waffles!"

Delia really only needed to say "breakfast" for Ash to be in a chair, knife and fork in hand.


Three days and three hours later


"I'll get it," called Ash from the top of the staircase. Lately a bunch of strangers that came for the Pallet Town Carnival, which was only two days away, came up to his door asking for an autograph and picture of "Pallet's Star". Well, most confused his house with Gary's, to Ash's utter dismay, but he still had a surprising amount of fans!

Ash thought it was just another little kid wanting to impress his friends at home, so he opened the door and said, "Okay now, no flash photography ple-eayay-yay-" His tongue ceased to work when Ash saw whom the person was.

Wow… what an… unexpected… person came to his house today.

"Hey Ash!" the person said…
