Hey peoples! I'm back. I was supposed to update this story earlier, but I was busy beta reading... so yeah. Bad idea, eh?

I'm starting to wonder why so many people are liking this story. I'm starting to doubt my writing skills. Anyways, in this chapter, you will find out what Misty intends to do with the shrub.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I only own Ferny... and apparently, Shrubby too. And I also own my lame talent of naming things!

Jane Hawthorn - Yuup! Ash isn't only going to be jealous... two more things happen. xD And that "shrubbery" is going to do something alright... read to find out. Mwhaaha!

AshandMistyLove - I was thinking of making the last chapter longer, and the other ones too, but I simply had nothing to add. These chapters are very short, and they're only going to stay that way. If it's getting any longer, it's going to be about a couple hundred, and that's it. Oh and I was thinking about doing that, but then the story will continue on and on and on and on and on. So yeah. I have to keep it 5 chapters or under... contest rules. That shrub is going to do something else. And thank youuu! xD

iR4WR - I should, but I chose not too. I don't know; I'm sorry I've been rushing things. I promise I will not rush the last chapter since it's supposed to be the best. Oh thank you for pointing that out. I'll clear it up as soon as possible. I was thinking about the same thing too when I was typing that out. It's completely the opposite.

Ronmione x3 - Oh of course she does. (;

QwertyDevil - Ahaha, that is true. That is exactly what is going to happen, but I am not really sure how these plants are going to make their "get-away" or something. Hehehe.

Anyways, thank you all for the reviews, and I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Misty practically skipped along the sidewalk on her way to Ash's house. With the shrub in one hand and her house key in another, she gave Shrubby a pleased look. This is just going swell. She arrived at Ash's house minutes later. She set the shrub on his doorstep and rang the doorbell. She ran away from sight the moment she heard any signs of movement inside the house.

She hid behind the bush and silently snickered at the thought of the green nature things in her life right now. Telling herself over and over that she wasn't jealous of the plant, she kept muttering how she's only doing it because she wants Ash's affection. That's it. Nothing more. She heard the door behind her open up to reveal a sleepy boy with a fern in his hand. He was half asleep at that point, rubbing his eyes tiredly against the side of his palm. He was still dressed in his pajamas and wasn't embaressed to be outside wearing it at all.

It was Ash. He didn't seem as happy as usual. He looked around but saw nobody. He walked forward to look outside, but his foot came in contact with some object he had never remembered putting there. Deciding to put the blame on his mom, he peered downward and saw a little shrub no bigger than the fern in his hand. He picked it up and observed it for a while. He shrugged while humming to himself; he walked into the house and shut the door loudly behind him without a care in the world.

He looked from plant to plant; he wasn't happy with the result at all.

The two plants were set along the table side. Ferny and Shrubby were waving their leaves all over the place as the tips of their leaves brushed against another. Shrubby's yellow flowers turned a nice, light shade of pink; Ferny's dried up leaves turned green immediately to the touch. Brushing past each other, they swayed happily. They were 'passionately' and 'elegantly' showing their love for one another.

Ash felt something weird that he couldn't describe. It wasn't anger nor was it disappointment. He shoud be mad that Shrubby took Ferny away from him but he wasn't. Was it because he was beginning to get tired of the Fern because it didn't return his feelings or talk back? No, that wasn't it. He was fully in love with the Fern and nothing could stop that. However, he didn't feel the way he was supposed to when Shrubby took Ferny away from him. He was angry at the shrub, but he couldn't be. Who gets mad at a plant? As he tried to figure it out, the doorbell rung, interrupting him from this thoughts. He ran out of his room, happy to excape the lovey doveyness the plants were expressing. He swung the door open to see Misty standing at the doorway. She waved happily at him with an innocent expression. "W-What are you doing here?"

"You mean I'm not allowed to be here now that you have a fern occupying you?" Misty said as she faked a hurt expression.

He waved his hands back and forth in denial. "No, no! I'm just curious is all..." his voice trailed off silently.

"Is something wrong?" she continued to question. Even if she already knew what was going on, she wanted to pry it out of him. Sure she was guilty for doing so, but it must be done. Ash couldn't end up with a fern for the rest of his life. That'll be plain weird.

He muttered, "I guess you can say that." She moved her hand continuously to signal him to go on. "Ferny doesn't like me anymore! What do I do Misty?" He jumped into Misty's arms and hugged her tightly.

Caught off gaurd, she muttered to herself in a low voice. "With that out of the way, I think I may have a chance with Ash." She smiled and returned the hug.

This story is almost coming to an end! Chapter 5 will be the last chapter. No changes in plans or anything.

Oh dear, I was so into typing this story that I didn't realize that I was drinking expired milk for the past hour or two. I think I'm going to puke; I feel horrible. Meanwhile, review to make me feel better! xD

Feeling sick,
