My goodness it's been awhile hasn't it! My apologies if you all have been wanting an update to this story! I have been so busy writing my newest story "R" that I haven't had a lot of time to work on this one! Well, I have some free time at the moment, coffee in hand, and some ideas in my head, so let's get started! I realized not to long ago that I forgot to tell you all what word I will use for the next chapter! Well, I literally picked it about 5 minutes ago, so pretty much this ENTIRE chapter will be improvised. So, let's get started with my newest word, (which you all already know since it's the name of the chapter), "Gorgeous".
-EVAN AAML
"What's taking her so long?", Gary asked, looking at his wrist watch impatiently.
"We're gonna be late!", Tracy stated. Ash sighed. This was one of the MANY things about females he never understood, why did they take so long to get dressed?
"I don't know what's taking her! You girls couldn't get ready at the same time?", Ash asked. Dawn and May looked at him with some annoyance in their eyes.
"You only have one bathroom in this entire house! Of course we couldn't!", May yelled.
"Plus we had to bring our own make-up and hair dryer!", Dawn threw in. Ash sweatdropped. Ash and his friends were all cordially invited to attend a special party at Prof. Oak's lab. Although the party was more for scientists around the Pokemon world, it was also a chance for Ash to meet some old friends and have a great time. But of course, much to Ash's dismay, it was a formal party, so everyone had to dress up. The guys of course only took about half an hour to get ready entirely. Ash's mom had picked out their tuxedos accordingly to their respective dates. Ash hated wearing ties and dress shoes, but it was only for a couple of hours, he'd manage.
What he couldn't manage on the other hand was having to wait for Misty to get ready. The girls all had to change upstairs while the guys changed downstairs, which once again wasn't a problem. But of course, all three girls had to take FOREVER to get ready, and now they were running late. Drew leaned against the back of Ash's couch, impatiently tapping his shoes on the ground.
"Remind me why I had to come to this event?", Drew asked. May turned to him and huffed annoyed.
"I TOLD you! We all needed dates for this! I thought you loved going to formal parties!", May said. Drew flipped his hair back.
"I do...but not with you", Drew replied. May stomped angrily on the ground, her face matching her fire red dress. It was a beautiful dress that sparkled in the light of the living room. It was held up by two small straps and had a cut towards the bottom, revealing her silky smooth legs. She also had a red hair piece that went with it. Because of Drew's green eyes and hair, it was impossible to get him to look good in a red vested tux, so Mrs. Ketchum settles with a green one. Christmas colors matched anyway she said.
Dawn wore a dress that was just as bright as May's; but it was a bell dress and was pink in color. The bottom was completely poofy and was off the ground by only a few centimeters. The pink from her chest up was a little bit darker in color and she wore a pick headband as well. She stood by the Kitchen, making sure no one was close enough to stand on the ends of her expensive outfit. Max matched her perfectly with a light pink vested tux. Tracy wore a yellow vested tux, Gary a bright pink, and Brock a violet. They were going to go with Misty's sisters, who were of course more than happy to attend a party as extravagant as this. Just one more excuse to go shopping and dress up. They decided to get ready at their home and meet them there. Good planning on their part; they would NEVER leave if they got ready here as well.
"Alright, if she's not down here in five minutes, I'm leaving without her!", Gary decided, still looking at his wrist watch.
"She'll be here! I promise!", Ash said. He didn't really promise, in fact, he was going to leave with Gary if she took to long. Ash didn't really want to go with Misty, it just sort of...happened. He didn't mind it to much, if it weren't for everyone picking on him about it. You would think that by now people would of realized that they weren't a couple. Ash sighed. They would never let him live this down if they ended up missing the party because of her. Suddenly, music began to play. Brock dug into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone, he backed up from the others and quietly talked into it.
"You know, she probably isn't even in her dress yet, guarantee it in fact. She's probably JUST getting out of the shower!", Gary said.
"No, that couldn't be it, we heard the water stop running from the shower an hour ago", Tracy said. Drew scoffed.
"Maybe she burnt her hair on the curling iron", Drew said. May turned and slapped him in the knee.
"Don't even joke about that! That's a nightmare!", May yelled. Drew shook his head and rolled his eyes. Brock approached the gang.
"That was Violet guys, they'll be there in a couple minutes. If we leave now we can just meet them at the door", Brock said. Gary sighed in relief.
"Thank Arceus! We don't have to sit around here!", Gary said relieved. Tracy shrugged.
"Oh well, we'll see her in her dress at the lab anyway. Let's get going then, I don't want to upset Daisy again. She still hasn't completely forgiven me for missing our last date", Tracy said. Brock nodded.
"Right, who's coming and who's staying?", Brock asked. Drew stood up, but then May pushed him back down against the back of the couch.
"We're staying! I want to see Misty in her outfit, and you're NOT gonna leave me alone!", May said. Drew threw his hands up in the air in annoyance, but then crossed his arms and mumbled to himself. There was no point in arguing with her. Dawn turned to Max, who leaned against a large curio cabinet.
"Do you mind waiting here for Misty?", Dawn asked. Max smiled.
"Nope, no problem at all!", Max said. Dawn smiled at Max.
"Thank you!", Dawn said. Max smiled back. Truth be told he didn't really even want to go to the party. He was never much of a social Butterfree. But it was a good excuse for him to meet a bunch of his favorite professors, and he got to hang out with Dawn. They weren't a couple per say, but they might as well of been. They were probably only waiting to get older for a relationship.
Ash sighed. He really wanted to leave with the guys, like, real badly. But he knew that he shouldn't. It wouldn't be nice to leave on Misty, even if they were only going as friends to the party. And truth be told, he really did want to see her in her dress. Not because he thought that she was cute or anything, that would be weird. Who would admit that their best friend was cute? Not Ash, never. True, he had always felt a weird feeling in his body when he saw Misty in a dress or bikini, but that was just...hunger pains. Yeah, that was it. It couldn't be anything more than that. Gary walked up to Ash and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Well, smell ya later Ashy boy, and by later, I mean like, hours later", Gary said snobbishly. Ash wanted to deck him in the face, but that wouldn't be nice either. He was trying to act civil today, and punching Gary in the face wouldn't be very civil. Besides, they tried to put their past behind them. They weren't major rivals anymore. Gary, Tracy, and Brock then waved goodbye.
"See ya at the party. Tell Misty we're sorry we left on her", Brock said. The three boys then walked out of the house and closed the door behind them. The rest of the house was silent, with the exception of Drew's constant tapping of his shoe. May was tempted to stomp on him with her heels, but it could very well break them, so she waited. He wasn't worth it anyway. She'd get him back later, when no one was looking. Ash looked at the clock on the wall in the living room. Eight thirty, they were half an hour late so far. Not too bad, but he knew it would be longer still.
"I knew this was going to be a pain in the butt. I knew it!", Ash thought to himself. "Misty always took forever to get ready. She did the same thing when we went to that Pokemon League party!". They were dates then too, and she took forever. The only difference was they were at her house, so she had more time to prepare. "Maybe I should go up and check on her. I sent Pikachu up there to do that, what was taking him so long! Probably being held hostage by Misty. I guess I should check on her...but what if she isn't dressed yet? What if I walk in on her and she's naked!...That would be nice. WAIT! NICE? WHAT AM I THINKING! That wouldn't be nice! I don't want to see her naked!...That soft, elegant skin just begging to be caressed...ARGH! HUNGER PAINS!".
Suddenly, they all heard something. It was the sound of footsteps. They all looked up at the stairs in anticipation. First, Pikachu hopped down the first few steps and looked at the gang with a smile on his face. He wore a simple black bow-tie for the dance. The girls thought he looked adorable and even joked that he would make a better date to the dance than who they picked. He then straightened up and extended his paws to the top of the stairs, as if he was making an entrance for Misty. Then, Ash saw the first part of Misty. Her foot in a light blue heel. His heart started beating harder and faster in anticipation. He tugged on his tie to let himself breath. Pikachu hopped completely down the stairs and made it to Ash's side as Misty came down completely. Ash and the girls gasped.
She wore a strap-less cerulean dress that just fit perfectly on her body. Like May's, it had the slit down the side, but wasn't as long as hers. It sparkled in the light as well, like rain on a sunny day. What Ash noticed the most though was her hair. It was let down. It reminded him of the festival at Maiden's Peak. His heart skipped a beat or two and he began to sweat slightly. She stepped down from the final step and approached the gang.
"Well...what do you think?", Misty asked. May and Dawn gawked over the dress.
"You look stunning!", May said amazed.
"I agree! That looks amazing!", Dawn agreed. Misty looked at Ash with a smile.
"What about you Ash? Sorry I took so long, I wanted to get my outfit just right", Misty said. Ash couldn't answer. He stuttered slightly, his mouth wide and eyes wide open. He felt his body get hot suddenly and he twitched ever so lightly here and there. Misty stared at him, a blush lightly covering her face.
"Yeah, you're real pretty, now can we get going now?", Drew asked. He stood up and began to walk out to the door. May sighed heavily.
"I'm sorry guys, he's just impatient. I guess we should get going though", May said. She then huffed and walked outside, where Drew was waiting for them. Max walked up to Dawn's side and held his arm out for her.
"Shall we?", Max asked. Dawn giggled and wrapped her arm around his.
"Yes, let's", Dawn said. Max then led Dawn outside with May and Drew. Pikachu looked up to Ash and smiled.
"Pika!", Pikachu said. He then winked and scurried outside as well. Misty watched him leave and then glanced at Ash. His eyes were still set on her and her outfit. She blushed a little bit more and coughed.
"Well, I guess we should go as well huh?", Misty said. Ash didn't respond. She took that as a yes. She began to walk towards the door, her heels clicking on the wooden floor. Suddenly Ash snapped out of his trance and shook his head.
"WAIT!", Ash yelled. Misty stopped and turned to face him. Looking at her again made him get nervous once more.
"Yes?", Misty asked.
"Uhm...Mist, you...you look", Ash began. Misty smiled.
"Let me guess, funny? Weird? Like a fish out of water?", Misty guessed. Ash shook his head.
"No...you look...gorgeous", Ash replied. Misty looked at Ash in shock. She had not expected this kind of response from him. Not that she didn't like it, in fact, she loved it. She had spent this entire time making sure that she looked positively stunning for Ash. She didn't like dressing up, in fact she rarely did it. Only for occasions that called for it. But now that she was older, she realized what an affect dressing up would have on the opposite sex. Of course, the only one that she wanted to impress what Ash. She blushed immensely.
"Th...thank you Ash. You have no idea what that means...to me", Misty said. Ash smiled lightly.
"No...problem", Ash said. Misty looked behind her towards the door. When she noticed that no one was looking, she walked over to Ash. He watched almost in a panic as she approached him slowly, her face getting closer to his.
"You know...I purposely took my time...to make sure I looked my best...for you", Misty said with a blush. Ash very slightly bent back as Misty leaned forward. She walked her fingers up his chest very slowly.
Hunger pains were a killer.
"Uhm...wha, what are you doing Mist?", Ash asked. Misty blushed even more.
"I wanted to thank you...for calling me gorgeous", Misty replied. She then quickly leaned forward completely and kissed Ash on the cheek. Both Ash and Misty's face turned bright red from blushing. Misty leaned back and then glanced outside. They hadn't noticed anything. "Uhm...I guess we should get going now huh?", Misty said. Ash was still in shock from the kiss. He didn't respond. He did however make a goofy grin. Misty turned and began to walk towards the door when suddenly she felt something grab her hand. It stopped her in her tracks. She turned and looked to see Ash holding her hand with a smile. This confused her a bit. "What are you", before she could finish, Ash had quickly pulled her towards him.
The sudden tug caused Misty to nearly lose her balance from her heels. She fell forward and was caught by Ash. She looked up to see Ash looking deep into her eyes. She was limp in his his arms upon seeing his close up chocolate eyes. Ash smiled and lifted her just enough to be closer to her face. Their breathing could be felt on each others face.
"You know, as close as a friend I've been to you, I've never realized just...how beautiful you really are", Ash said. Misty's face turned as red as May's dress.
"R...really?", Misty asked. Ash nodded.
"Yeah", Ash said. He then placed one arm on Misty's lower back and, using the hand he caught Misty with, lifted her up to his lips. He pressed them together and that was that. Both of their hearts beat immensely and their bodies seemed to get hotter and hotter. Misty sighed in the kiss and then used her free hand to hold the back of Ash's head, pushing it closer to hers to make the kiss deeper.
"Gurgish", Ash said while still having his lips pressed against Misty's. Misty smiled and pulled apart from him.
"What was that? Didn't quite get it", Misty said. Ash smiled.
"Gorgeous", Ash said. Misty smiled and they shared another kiss.
Huh, that took longer than I thought. I live lake front on a place called Oneida Lake in Central New York, and the ice on it is melting and moving. They're like glaciers really, it's pretty cool. They're crashing against trees in the water and on land and making quite a racket. Anyway, hope you liked this chapter update. I know it's been awhile coming. I liked the whole idea of this chapter, but since the entire thing was pretty much improvised, I don't think it was that well written. Oh well, a pity. Well, I guess the only thing to do now is pick a new letter from the dictionary and see what my next chapter will be on!..."Heat"...oh boy. I already have two ideas on where this one could lead, and let's just say that for both of them it isn't exactly child friendly! Well, hope you liked this, and be sure to be on the look out for updates on "The Alphabet Game-EVAN AAML Style", and "R"! Farewell!
sincerely,
