Misty's POV
"Look, I know you want to take over the gym for the summer, but couldn't you at least squeeze in a little time for me? Come on, sweetheart, you know I want you to follow your dreams, but can't I fit into the picture at all?" I shut my locker and look into Chase's pleading blue eyes.
"Let me get something straight: The one time I can go full-time at the gym, you're asking me to only stay part-time? Do you have any idea what you're asking? That'd be like Ash asking me to stay after I left him in Viridian City to come back here and keep the Gym from closing down!" That and this is the only way I can keep my mind off of that longing I have to go travel with Ash and Brock again this summer!
"Yeah, but you'd say yes to him…" he mumbles, not noticing that I hear him.
"Well then, if that's what you think, maybe I should've!"
I turn to leave, but he grabs my arm and says, "No, I didn't mean it that way! You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, baby, and I just can't picture it any other way!" Too bad I have to be a prisoner in my own body for you, or I might just believe that! I want to scream that so badly now, but I know doing that will mean losing him, and so far, he's the only one that can screw my head on straight. Well, except for…him.
"Look, I love you so much, baby, please, at least consider my question."
"Fine, but don't count on getting a yes, because you of all people should know that I've wanted to be over the gym for forever now."
"I know; that's why I'm not asking you to quit, because I know you can't. Oh well, guess I'd better get home. I love you, and I'll see you tonight."
"Don't forget it's at eight, and please, try not to be late like you usually are for everything else!"
"I won't. Bye for now." He gives me a goodbye hug, and is off. Oh well, at least I'll see him again tonight. Now I just have to figure out what to do until then.
Somehow assuming I will still be here if I don't walk, I head for my home, the Cerulean Gym. When I get there, Daisy, Lily, and Violet are at the door. "What do you three want from me now?"
"Nothing at all, Misty," Daisy says, quietly twirling her blonde wavy hair between her fingers.
"Yeah, Misty, we just decided to give you a present for tonight. It's your first real date with Chase, after all," Violet says, repinning her red clip into her indigo hair. Her brown eyes show some excitement, which confuses me even more.
"Yepper! We're getting you ready for your super special date!" Lily exclaims, her big blue eyes shining, and her wavy pink hair is blowing slightly in the breeze. Great, my three sisters have finally lost it. They walk me inside, and I begin to wonder if eight will ever get here.
