Hello :) Here is chapter 12 to this story. Here is where it gets quite exciting - at least I think it does! xD I really looked forward to writing this chapter and I don't know why. Maybe, as my beautiful chimpanzee said, it's so guys can finally know what we go through! :'D I hope you enjoy it! :')

Disclaimer: No I do not own pokemon or the type of pill I mentioned :)

'There's blood in my pants.'

Misty's face turned from panic stricken to confused in the space of half a second.

'What?' she asked, walking in the bathroom to see him zipping up his trousers. 'Have you cut yourself or something?'

Ash turned around to face her. His face was ghostly pale and covered with a sticky sweat and he was panting loudly.

'I dunno…' he bent over in pain because of the strange stomach cramps. 'All I know is that there's blood in my pants!'

Misty rubbed his arm sympathetically and tried to come up with an answer as to what was happening to him. Finally, she had an answer.

'Can I see?' she asked. Misty needed to prove her theory. 'Are you wearing them or…?

Ash shook his head, his damp orange locks swished about limply before wiping his sweaty forehead on his bare arm.

'Be my guest.' He blushed as she picked up the garments. Seeing as he was in his girlfriend's body, he wore her underwear too. 'Well..?' he asked impatiently.

Misty's mouth fell to the floor as she saw the familiar blood stain in his pants. She looked up at him to see he was still rubbing his swollen belly. Her theory was correct.

'Ash, I dunno how but…' she paused, her eyes lighting up with a confused yet weirdly excited and intrigued look on her face. 'You've got a period!'

At this diagnosis, Ash nearly collapsed onto the floor both of shock and the pain of the 'period' as Misty said it was.

'Wha…? How is that even possible?!' he questioned, balancing himself on the sink in case he actually fainted.

Misty frowned once again, running the situation through her brain. Finally, she understood and snapped her fingers to prove it.

'Got it!' she gave Ash a thumbs up while he rubbed the blurriness out of his eyes. 'We've swapped bodies, correct?' To this, the teenage boy nodded, a frown of concentration appearing on his face. 'Well if we've swapped bodies and I'm due my period around now…'

Ash cut her off, understanding exactly where she was going. 'I've got your period instead because I'm now a girl?' Misty nodded triumphantly at his answer. 'Wow… that's smart!' he marvelled at her investigating skills. She was almost as good as super detective Cilan.

Misty smiled sheepishly at him and rubbed the back of her neck, much like her boyfriend used to do.

'Ah well I am a girl so I should know these things.' She told him before glancing at his stomach, which was visibly swollen seeing as he wasn't wearing a top. 'Does your tummy still hurt?' she asked sympathetically as he massaged it with his fingers.

He shook his head and stuck his lip out, making him look as adorable as a puppy dog.

'I take that as a yes then, cutie.' She smiled fondly at him before reaching into the cupboard located to the side of the mirror. Ash frowned questioningly when he caught sight of the pink medicine box.

'What's THAT?' he asked, raising his eyebrows right to the top of his face when Misty held up the box so he could read the label. 'Nurofen Period Pain Express?' he read aloud, the writing.

The teenage girl nodded and began opening the packet.

'Yeah they're awesome!' she popped two of the capsules out and handed them to her boyfriend who looked at them as if they were deadly drugs. 'Take them. Your period pain will be gone in ten minutes.'

Ash looked at the red pills suspiciously before gulping them down as he nodded thanks to his helpful girl.

'Thanks Mist.' He wiped the wet from his top lip before he glanced at Misty to see him holding a familiar green packet. 'What's that?' he asked even though he knew what they were.

Misty got one of the paper envelopes out of the big packet and began opening it while he looked curiously at her.

'This…' she opened it up to reveal a sanitary towel. 'Is called a sanitary towel also known as sanitary napkin and in simple terms, a pad.'

Ash nodded and took the 'pad' from her and looked at it suspiciously. He was used to them being around his bathroom at home but he'd never seen one up close.

'So, let me guess, I gotta use one of these?' he blushed at it, wondering how he was going manage wearing one for the next five days.

Misty rolled her eyes at his denseness but didn't say anything in case he turned hormonal like she did at her time of the month.

'Well yeah of course. Unless you want the blood to flood everywhere.'

At this statement, Ash turned unusually pale and nearly fainted once again.

'The blood will flood everywhere?!' he asked in a panic stricken voice, swaying slightly.

Misty covered her mouth with the palm of the hand and looked at him guiltily.

'Oh I'm so sorry Ash!' she apologized, holding his shoulders steady so he wouldn't collapse to the floor. 'Well if you don't want it to flood then you better put this one quick then!' she smiled at him as he held the towel under his between the legs.

He kept stroking it curiously and feeling the stickiness on the back.

'So how do I put it on?'

Half an hour later, Ash and Misty had finally exited the bathroom. The teenage boy no longer had the stomach cramps thanks to the pills and he was wearing a fresh pad.

'So you gotta change it every 3-4 hours okay?' she reminded him as he walked as if he had a cucumber up his bum. 'It can last up to 8 hours but change it about every 3. Otherwise it will get all uncomfortable.' She wrinkled her nose.

Ash smiled a thank you at his girlfriend before tugging his pants that were chafing with the towel.

'Oooh!' he moaned as he tugged his comfortable joggers to fit the pad in the right place. 'Gotta wedgie!'

Misty laughed at this funny statement. For some reason, she really enjoyed watching her boyfriend experience things that she went through every single day.

'Well…' Ash grinned at her, interrupting her proud thoughts. 'I'm gonna go and get some food!'

On queue, his now not hurting belly rumbled loudly while Ash scratched the back of his neck. Misty gestured her head for him to go and he pressed a kiss to her cheek before darting off to the kitchen. The teenage girl just stood there, thinking of the past few days' events.

'Phew!' she sighed as she sat on her top of the bunk, exhausted. 'Let's hope this is the last of our adventures!'
