A/N: I'm back with chapter six of "Ash and Misty's House Party". With Team Rocket gone the party carries on but now that there friends have noticed the disconnect between Ash and Misty they want to know what's going on. Then after the party a new development unfolds. Also, since I like to thank reviewers who I'll take this time to thank the anonymous reviewers who I was unable to message. It really means a lot to me.

Things went back into swing after the Team Rocket trio were sent flying. People went back to talking with the people they had been talking to before and it was almost as if the crashing never happened.
"So where were we?" asked Ash as he, Gary, Brock, Tracey and Richie returned to where they had been before the attack by Team Rocket.
"Ash is something wrong between you and-" began asking Tracey but Ash knew where he was going and quickly cut him off.
"That's right, we were talking about your problems with dates. You'll find somebody soon enough." said Ash trying hard to avoid talking about Misty.
"Is something wrong with you and Misty?" asked Brock in a low voice so as to get an answer but not upset the other party guests.
"Everything is fine between us." answered Ash with a forced laugh at the end.
"You've been avoiding her and you didn't really sound honest just now." said Richie.
"Everything is fine between us. I swear guys." replied Ash still lying but now hoping to have at least have the others fall for it.
"Something happened between you guys and we want to know what." demanded Gary and knowing he wasn't going to weasel out of this Ash broke down.
"About a week ago, me and Misty had a disagreement." said Ash, "When we were getting ready for the party we got into a fight. I don't know why."
"Maybe it's because you went off to buy Pokemon gear instead of shopping like she asked." said Pikachu as he walked up to his trainer.
"You went too." countered Ash.
"Only because you bribed me with ketchup." replied Pikachu.
"So you screwed up. That would explain it." sighed Gary.
"It's fine. Me and Misty have totally gotten past it. There is nothing at all to worry about." said Ash.
"It doesn't really seem that way." said Brock.
"Are things really okay?" asked Tracy.
"Things are totally fine guys. There is absolutely nothing to worry about." answered Ash who was really trying more to convince himself then his friends.
"If there is a problem you can tell us." said Richie.
"There isn't a problem guys." laughed Ash and the others knew not to give up.
"Well that was wild." smiled Misty as she and Erika resumed talking now with Sabrina, May and Dawn joining them.
"Misty, is everything okay between you and Ash?" asked Erika wanting to break the ice.
"Everything is fine. I don't even know why you'd ask." answered Misty with a fake laugh in hopes her friends would buy it.
"You've been avoiding him since the party began." replied Sabrina.
"We did kiss at the beginning." pointed out Misty in hopes of throwing the four off.
"Yeah but you seem to be avoiding one another. After we sent Team Rocket packing you seemed to intentionally avoid each other." said May.
"I think you might be jealous May." replied Misty playing on the known fact that Ash's female companions had all had feeling for him before he chose Misty.
"You won Ash's heart and that's it." said Dawn trying to prove their good intentions to Misty.
"Sabrina and I have never felt anything for Ash and we're saying this." remarked Erika.
"Everything is fine between me and Ash." said Misty determined to end the conversation there.
"I think you're in denial." said Togetic who perched next to Misty.
"I have nothing to be in denial about." said Misty, "So how are you guys enjoying the party?"
"Don't change the subject. You and Ash are clearly having some kind of problem." said May who wouldn't let Misty change the subject.
"We only want to help you two." added Dawn.
"You guys are making a big deal out of nothing." replied Misty.
"You know that's not true." said Togetic who wanted its trainer to talk.
"You and Ash had a fight and are currently not talking." said Sabrina busting Misty.
"You read my mind." said Misty trying to come off as angry to drive the conversation away from her and Ash.
"What happened Misty?" asked Erika wanting to know exactly what was happening.
"It's nothing." answered Misty but Togetic had enough.
"When they were shopping for the party Ash ran off to the Pokemon story instead of getting the party supplies like Misty asked and they haven't talked since then." revealed Togetic.
"That's awful." said Erika feeling for her friend.
"Ash can be so thick-headed at times." remarked May.
"If he could he'd marry a Pokemon." added Dawn.
"Thanks guys but it's not a problem. Every couple fight then get make up so me and Ash have nothing to worry about." said Misty reassuringly before leaving momentarily to get another drink.
"I hope Misty's right." said Erika.
"She's trying to convince yourself more than us." replied Sabrina after again reading her friend's mind.
The rest of the party sped by after Team Rocket and soon people started to go home. Eventually the attendance dropped down.
"Hope you had a good time." said Misty as she said goodbye to Erika.
"I did and Misty if you ever need to talk I'll be there." replied the nature loving princess.
"Thanks but I'm okay." said Misty and with that Erika left.
"Well I better get going too." said Gary who got up and left leaving only Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Togetic and Mr. Mime present. It was late and darkness engulfed the sky.
"Well I'm headed to bed." said Ash who than began his trek upstairs.
"Hold on a minute." called out Misty causing Ash to stop and turn around.
"What?" asked Ash just wanting to thrown himself in bed.
"This place is a mess. We should at least clean it up a bit." answered Misty.
"Mom won't be home for a while so we can do it tomorrow. Besides, we have Mr. Mime, Pikachu and Togetic to help us so there's no need to rush." replied Ash.
"You can be a really lazy bastard at times." countered Misty as the emotions from the shopping trip began to come out.
"You just push me to hard. If you would give time to rest ever now and again I would be more willing to move faster." replied Ash.
"If actually did things when the asked the first time I wouldn't need to keep asking you." said Misty.
"Even back when we were traveling together you always nagged me constantly." said Ash.
"And I thought you would have matured since then." replied Misty.
"While I'd thought you'd be less bitchy." said Ash really angered Misty.
"Why do you have to be such a bastard?" asked Misty as tempers quickly rose.
"At least I'm not a bossy slave driver!" snapped Ash.
"Shove it up your ass!" spat Misty.
"I can't shove it up yours that's where all your hot air comes from!" yelled Ash.
"Guys, we're getting a little carried away here." said Pikachu trying to play peace keeper.
"Yeah. Let's just calm down and we can settle this reasonably." added Togetic.
"Why are you being such an ass?" asked Misty furiously as she and Ash ignored their Pokemon.
"Because you're such a tight ass bitch!" answered Ash now yelling the top of his lungs.
"With ever one gone it's open season." sighed Pikachu.
"Please stop before you say you'll regret." begged Togetic but at that moment it happened.
"At least I know where my father is!" shouted Misty immediately wished she could have taken it back.
"You really are a fucking bitch." spat Ash with tears building up in his eyes as he stormed out of the house slamming the door behind him.
"Dammit! I am a freaking idiot!" cried Misty as hang her hating herself for what she had said.
"What's going on?" asked Mr. Mime as entered finding Misty and the two Pokemon.
"Ash and Misty had a fight. It got heated then Misty mentioned Ash's father." answered Pikachu.
"I know better. When his father never returned rumors he abandoned Ash and his mother spread. Ash was constantly picked on as a young boy for it and it's always been a touchy subject. I should have known better." said Misty as she sat on the stairs and began sobbing.
"It's not your fault. It was the heat of the moment. I'm sure Ash won't even remember what happened." said Togetic trying to cheer it's trainer up but Misty kept sobbing.
The night went by at a slow pace as the fight between Ash and Misty hung in the air. When Misty awoke she found herself tucked into her bed.
"Good morning." said Togetic as it spotted it's trainer waking up.
"Good morning." replied Misty still feeling guilty over what had been said, "How did I get in my room?"
"You cried yourself to sleep on the stairs and Mr. Mime carried you." answered Togetic.
"How's Ash?" asked Misty now turning her worry to her boyfriend even if they were still fighting.
"Nobody has seen him since last night." answered Togetic.
"Did he come home last night?" stated Misty.
"I don't think so but I'll go check." answered Togetic who left the room then returned a minute later, "The door is open and the room in empty. He might not have returned."
"Let's go look downstairs." said Misty who got up and headed downstairs with Togetic behind her.
"What will you do if he's there?" asked Togetic.
"I'm not sure." answered Misty having made this decision rashly but as she approached the kitchen she heard Ash's voice talking to somebody.
"Must be Pikachu or Mr. Mime." said Misty softly..
"Yeah, I'm okay. Things are totally fine here." said Ash as Misty peeked into the kitchen and saw he was on the telephone.
"I wonder who he's talking to?" asked Misty as the mystery person on the other end responded to what Ash had said.
"Misty isn't here now." said Ash on the other end.
"Must be a friend." thought Misty remembering the countless people they had met on their journey.
"That's great to hear." said Ash, "I think Misty will be gone later."
"Why would he say that?" asked Misty now growing concerned.
"I'm here. You don't have to worry." laughed Ash, "I can't wait until you return. I miss you."
"Who could Ash miss so much?" asked Misty getting suspicious.
"I love you too." said Ash over the phone.
"It's not like Ash would cheat on me." said Misty eyes-wide as she remembered what she had said before her first fight with Ash.
"I'm sure it's just his mother." said Togetic trying to calm her down.
"Thanks for letting me stay over last night. See you in a little bit." said Ash then headed to go upstairs when he saw Misty.
"Misty-" said Ash at a loss of words.
"Save it!" cried Misty who then stormed off to her room and threw herself on her bed.
"He's cheating on me. That's why he never returned last night. He found another girl and stayed at her place. They probably slept together." cried Misty as she buried her head into her pillow.
"I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this." replied Togetic who was trying to calm Misty but to no avail.
A/N: I told you there'd be another twist and things will only more intriguing as the story progresses. I've also decided Team Rocket will return later in the story and Ash's mother won't (so if you were waiting for that). I hope you keep reading and please review!
