J is for June
There's never really anything excited about the month June. Or so people think.
January, start of a new year. So, so exciting.
February, there's Valentines Day. The Day of love, the day you receive roses and flowers from boys and secret admirers.
March, St. Patrick Day aka the day of green, irish people and leprachauns. Also day people had an excuse to pinch people.
April, April Fools aka prankster day, and Easter time.
May, well, May there's not any major holdidays, but people just enjoy the month because its spring. Also because there happens to be a lot of birthdays in that month.
July, Independence Day. Where you can hang out with family, have a picnic and watch the firecrackers light up the sky. Sigh.
August, well, its hard to say whats so exciting about this month. Because its the month before school starts? Shrugs.
September, the month school starts. The month student either groan or are excited about when school begins to start, depends on what kind of person they are.
October, the month of scary creatures, the month Halloween takes place. And lets face it, almost everybody loves Halloween; candies, treats, dressing up, pulling pranks; lots of fun.
November, the breezy month with the one holiday called Thanksgiving. Families get together, cooking and carving a turkey, lots of laughs and cheers. A good month.
December, whats not to love? Christmas music, good spirits, christmas cookies, presents and of course, Santa Cause. It's the month everybody just can't help but love.
However, June...
Sure, that's when school gets out, but like that really made the month interesting. No, there was another reason I cherished the month. Actually a few reasons, but there's two reasons why I mainly enjoy the month...

When Misty first met him...
She remembered the day perfectly... the day she met him...
She was sitting on a ledge, fishing pole in hand, waiting for a bite while also thinking of what kind of guy she would like to marry when she was grown up. Pretty ironic, because then the water around the lure started bubbling and there was a tug.
"Hey! I got a bite!" she exclaimed, starting to pool back with all her strength. "Ohh! I really think this could be a big one!"
And then, out of the water she pulled out a kid. A kid just about a year younger then her, with raven black hair and chocolate brown eyes and wearing a cap she once entered for to win, along with a little plump electric mouse, was the man she was just thinking about... The man she would like to marry...
Caring, sweet, gentle, headstrong, and prone to argue with her.
Perfect he was in her mind...
"No... just a kid!" she had said, scorn obvious in her voice.
"No... just a kid!"

June... The month I first met him.
June... The month I first...
Kissed him.

"Ash...?" Misty turned to look at the raven hair teen, nervously fiddling with her fingers.
"Hm?" He turned to look at her, pieces of rice from the rice ball on the corner of his lips. "Yeah?"
She smiled, giggling at his cuteness. Though, of course, she would never admit she thought that was cute, or at least not until... she knew for sure. Knew for sure that(/if) he loves her, where (if/)they seal their love with a kiss. Maybe then, (if then) she would admit that she thought his eating habits were a bit cute.
"You got a little..." She wiped off the pieces of rice from the corner of his confused frown. She giggled as his confused expression turned to a knowing and embarrassed grin.
"Oh, oops!" He chuckled, wiping the stuff from his face, an embarrassed blush highlighting his face.
Misty sighed, a calm, relaxed and content sigh. "It's been so much fun being with you again, Ash. Just me and you, we haven't even argued once yet." she said, lying on her back.
Ash nodded, also lying on his back as he watched the sun set. "Yeah, its been a good day; a very good day." He turned towards her, grinning at the red-head.
"You know..." Misty said, blood warming her cheeks, turning them a light pink. "This sunset... looks pretty romantic tongiht." She laughed, as if to show not to take her seriously.
Ash grew quiet; Misty grew even more embarrassed. "Yeah, it is..." The raven-haired boy finally mumbled. "You know... honestly, the sunset sort of reminds me as you." He told her in a quiet voice.
"Really? Why?" She turned to look at him, turning onto her stomach, supporting her weight with her elbows.
"Well, the red reminds me of you when I've done something wrong, after all anger is the color red," He gave another chuckle, glancing towards Misty to make sure he haven't offended her.
"And then orange... it reminds me of your hair. Then the yellow and gold reminds me of the clothes you wear. And then... the blue-green colors in between reminds me of... your eyes... and your love for water pokemon." He glanced at her again, a brilliant blush on his cheeks.
"Aww, that's so sweet Ash..." Misty whispered, a small, crooked grin starting to overtake her voice.
"And June... June has the most beautiful sunsets... Or at least to me. Everything about June, well, amazes me. It's my most favorite month of the year." He whispered, a grin on his face.
Misty sat up as Ash began to stand up. "June is my favorite month, too." Misty said, laughing slightly at the electric mouse snoozing away on the picnic basket, a snot bubble in its nose. "Why is it your favorite month?"
Ash blushed even darker. "Oh, well, um... I-I guess its my favorite because..." He gulped, sweat running down his forehead. "It-it's the month I-I..."
"I met you..." she whispered, hand on her heart.
"What?"
"That's why it's my favorite month; because I met you." she whispered again, looking at the chocolate-eyed, raven-haired teen with such an infatuated look, Ash could only blush harder and become even sweatier.
"R-really? Ca-cause that's my reason for liking the month! Because that's when I met you!" He exclaimed, voice hoarse slightly.
"Ash..." Misty whispered, standing up so her lips were only inches away from his face.
She gulped, realizing how close their lips were. "Misty." Ash whispered, leaning his head closer to Misty's, their lips slightly touching.
A shiver ran down Misty's back. "Ash." She whispered as she filled in the space so they were mouth to mouth, lips to lips...
Ash pressed his lips to Misty, tasting her lips with his tongue. Another shiver ran down her spine, and gathering up her courage, she pressed lips against his, kissing him back. Ash's hand ran gently, and hair-raisingly, down her arms. Misty pulled away from Ash, gasping from surprise, though mainly from how long the two had been kissing.
"Ash..." A smile tugged at her lips. "Ash."

Smirk. Our first kiss, the month I met the man of my dream, life and purpose. How sweet is the month of June? Very, very, very sweet. I can tell you that much.
June may not have any holiday worth screaming about, or any event to go ballistic over (except school ending, but I don't count that), but it does hold a special place in my heart. And Ash's too.
Sorry this took so long! I was mainly planning on this being an ikarishipping chapter, but I changed my mind. I decided to do another pokeshipping one instead. I sort of liked this, but... it could have been better.
Review, will ya?
