"Like thank you so much for the china set, Mrs. Ketchum!" Daisy said.
Daisy's bridal shower was very quaint, but sweet. Lily, Violet, and Misty held it at their home in Cerulean City so that all of Daisy's friends, their family, and more loved ones could be there.
Misty took another sip of her fruit punch. While all of her aunts, two eldest sisters, Delia, and Tracey's mother got to drink, Misty just sat there, bored out of her mind. She loved being there for Daisy, but did she really need to see another blender come out of yet another frilly pink box?
May looked just as bored as Misty did. Thank Arceus that she was there, especially with the wedding being so close to date. The Sinnoh league was going to start up later in the current week, Misty just hoped that Ash and Brock could make it back to Kanto without a problem.
But to keep Misty from worrying even more about the boys, May came in a few days earlier with Drew and Max to be with the gym leader and the others. She was so glad that May came in when she did, with the preparations for the wedding, Misty was almost on her last nerve with her family.
"Oh! This one is from May, Drew, and Max! Like, I wonder what it could be!" Daisy squealed as she opened the beautiful blue and green box. Inside was a beautiful picture frame, with the word "Love" on top of the frame and a small picture of a red rose in the corner of the frame.
"May! This is wonderful! I like, so love it!" Daisy replied.
"You're welcome, Daisy. My mom said that your first picture with Tracey should go in there, as a wonderful memory." May sheepishly said.
"Thank you so much." Daisy said sweetly. She picked up one last gift. "Looks like this is the last gift, ladies!"
The party let out a loud "awww" while Daisy held up the big red box with a satin white bow.
"It's like from my three sisters!" Daisy squealed, "I bet this will be good!"
Misty was confused, "But I never got you anything with Lily and Violet, Daisy."
Lily elbowed Misty in the ribs, "Of course you did, silly!" Misty faked a smile through the pain Lily just caused.
As Daisy opened up the gift, the Waterflower aunts and other guest were wondering what was inside such a lovely box. Soon, Daisy pulled out a slinky, black, lingerie outfit with an equally slinky black robe.
"It's something for the wedding night!!!" Lily and Violet shouted.
Misty just slapped her head and hung over in shame. Why did her dumb sisters put her name on such a rawnty gift? And what would Tracey think when Daisy says to him, "It was like... from all three of my sisters!!" She could never look at her upcoming brother-in-law in the eye ever again.
"Misty? What's wrong?" May asked, while all of the older women were screaming over the slinky gift.
"Oh...nothing May. I just don't wanna be here." she replied.
"I know what you mean...I would rather hang out with my brother and Drew. It's funny, but Drew and I became very close when we both went to Johto." May blushed.
"That's really cute, May." Misty then looked over at her sister who was being showered with love by their relatives and blushing from all the wonderful gifts, "Now that you told me about Drew, I wonder if that is ever going to be us."
"What do you mean?" May dumbly questioned.
"I mean...a blushing bride. I can't imagine being anything other than the Cerulean Gym Leader right now. I mean...I wanna get married someday, but..." Misty got lost in her train of thought.
"But Ash is too busy off in some other region to have you two settle down..." May replied slyly.
Misty started to turn beet red, "What?! No!!!"
Suddenly, all eyes were on Misty and May, due to Misty's sudden outburst.
"Like...something wrong, Misty?" Violet inquired.
"No...I'm fine Violet." Misty replied meekly.
"I think she like misses your adorable son, Mrs. Ketchum!" Lily said out loud to Delia, who was giggling.
Misty started to turn red and ran out the door, away from her sisters, away from May, away from Delia, everyone. She stepped out towards the front door, right underneath the Dewgong roof. Misty started to shed a few tears, dumb Mr. Pokèmon Master just had to come back to everyone's conversations, including her own. Misty took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. Soon, this wedding would be over and Misty could go back to just being Misty; The Tomboyish Mermaid of Cerulean City's Gym. In reality, she really just wanted to go back to being Mist, Ash's best friend and an amazing Water Pokèmon Trainer. She sighed and walked back inside. As she came inside, she heard the phone ring and heard Violet answer the phone and then quickly hang up the phone.
"Mrs. Ketchum, that was like your adorable son on the phone! He says that he's coming to the wedding and would LOVE to be Tracey's best man!" Violet shouted so everyone, including Misty could hear. Daisy squealed and ran to call Tracey to tell him that they did not need to go on with their wedding without a best man. Delia just looked relieved and May looked content.
Misty, on the other hand, ran upstairs to her room, away from all her relatives and friends. As she closed the door softly so no one would hear her, she started to jump around her bedroom like a Hoppip. She let her Marill out of her Pokèball and hugged the little blue mouse.
"Oh Marill!" Misty shouted, "Ash is coming home!!"
