Chapter 3: First Introductions.
Ash's brown eyes opened slowly and he yawned noticing his arms were around someone very warm. Ash propped himself on one of his elbows with a slight yawn and looked down at the sleeping girl beside him, in his arms. 'Holy shit…' he thought looking at her features, she looked like a handcrafted porcelain doll. Julianne buried her head into his chest turning around. Ash's eyes were opened wide he had to get out of this bed by the time she woke up. He was looking frantically around the room trying to see if maybe he walked into the wrong house, went up stairs to the wrong room, and crawled into the wrong bed with the wrong girl.
Julianne began to wake up her eyes fluttering open, the bright blue of her eyes capturing him off guard and captivating him. Julianne looked at the man whose arms were still around her. Julianne paused in shock for a minute before letting a scream erupt from her throat like lava from a volcano. Ash jumped away from her and she was still screaming at the top of her lungs. He could hear footsteps rushing over, 'Her dad, or mom is going to kill me with a baseball bat…shit I'm dead.' Ash thought as the door banged against the wall dramatically as it was whipped open only to reveal his 'Mom?'' he thought looking at the woman.
"Julianne., Are you okay?" she asked her she had already rushed to the girl's side trying to calm her. Finally she stopped screaming. Ash watched the scene confused. Julianne pointed her finger to Ash, who had gone unnoticed until then. Delia took in the sight of her son's state of undress and quickly glared at him.
"Ash Ketchum you put on clothes right now!" she said using that tone. Ash winced looking at his mother who looked like Misty did right after they had one of those nights.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know that there would be anyone in my room." Ash quickly apologized and ran to the bathroom with his duffle bag.
"Who is that?" Julianne asked softly looking into Delia's eyes.
"That was my son, Ash. He's a pokemon master he hasn't been home since before you got here. He just turned twenty two." Delia said sort of bragging about her son but it was just so easy to do because he was handsome, successful, and a good man.
"Oh, I should have recognized him from the photo in the living room." Julianne said with a small tone that Delia didn't recognize in her calm voice. Julianne showered and got dressed in a pair of shorts and a black tank top. She grabbed her sneakers a pair that used to belong to a younger Ash. Julianne was halfway down the stairs when she remembered to put her contacts on so of course she had to go back and get them. and put them on. She didn't want her eyes to be the only subject on peoples minds. Ash was downstairs on the couch watching TV a pair of jeans and a white shirt on.
"So Mom, who are you dating these days?" Ash asked his mother who looked up at him with a blush and smiled at him showing him her ring finger. Ash's mouth fell agape in shock as he looked at the woman who he called Mom.
"I'm engaged to Samuel Oak." She smiled at her son she was beaming a true love had formed between her and Oak. Ash looked at her with a loud gasp.
"How did that happen?" he asked in disbelief.
"Well. We have you to thank." Delia said to her son noticing the phone was ringing off of the hook. Delia answered it and looked at her son with a grin, he looked at her and thought 'It has to be Misty.' as he looked at the woman who motioned him over to the phone. Ash looked at his Mom and grabbed the phone as she handed it to him.
"Hey Misty." he smiled as he spoke to the girl.
"Ash, I've been thinking about you since you left. I miss you so much. Did you get there okay?" she asked him worriedly. Ash smiled and breathed on to the phone.
"I've been doing to the same, and I miss you too. I got here really late last night and crawled right into my old bed." he said to Misty.
"Everyone is asking me about a date over here. I don't know what to tell them. The tournament is bringing forward so many amazing trainers. I don't think it'll be easy at all." Misty played with the phone cord on the other side.
"How much longer until you come over here?" Ash asked her, he could hear her laugh on the other end.
"Probably a month and a half at the most. I could be there by the end of next week too though." she said to him.
"I hope sooner than later." he said. Misty yawned lightly the tournament had probably been causing her to sleep late.
"I'll let you go. Misty. Get some rest okay?" he told her lightly.
"I'm going to take a nap right now actually." Misty smiled.
"I love you." he said and she whispered the same thing before hanging up the phone. Julianne sat on the bottom step listening to the conversation, she could hear both people as if they were standing in front of her. Julianne stepped out and sat on the couch turning the TV on to the cartoon section. Ash looked at the television with a small yawn. He had never had time for watching too much TV.
"Ash, why don't you show Julianne some of the places to hang out and meet other teens?" she asked but Ash could tell it was more of an order than a suggestion. Julianne looked up with a slight gleam in her eyes.
"If Julianne wants to then why not I have nothing better to do anyways." he said looking towards Julianne who he noticed was wearing an old pair of his sneakers from when he was fifteen.
"That sounds like fun." Julianne said to him. They walked out the door.
"Sam you can get dressed now I think there's some of your clothes under the bed." Delia said with a smile as Professor Oak slid from the closet and gathered some of his clothes from underneath the couch.
