Translyrics by Kathy-chan and Aru
I thought it would be better than Adolescence. Though I like that one better.
I got reviews around my height, I'm 167cm.
Thank you all for sweet reviews!
Misty stared. She was staring at the teacher, and staring at the certain raven haired boy who was sitting on the front row, almost asleep. He got his head smacked by the teacher for him to wake up but it wasn't very effective because he fell asleep again 30 seconds later. Misty sighed and took the notes.
When the bell rang she walked out of the class and someone grabbed her shoulder, stopping her. She turned around and saw Ash.
"Hey Mist, can I see your notes? You know I was sleeping during class." Ash said scratching back of his head. Misty would have blushed in normal situation but this was something that she couldn't accept.
"NO!" She said hitting him hard with the mallet.
"Then you shouldn't have slept if you wanted to pass the grade, go copy someone else's." Misty heard herself saying and found herself walking away from him to the cafeteria. It was clearly surprising that Ash didn't run to there right after the bell rang. Who knows? Maybe French mattered to him that much.
Ash stood up and walked to the cafeteria wondering about Misty's reaction and after he got his lunch he sat down between Drew and Misty.
"What were you guys talking about?" He asked.
"Zoey's writing a song for you and Misty. I took a sneak peek at it and it was not a happy ending." Dawn said.
"Isn't it Kenny's job to make sad endings?" Ash asked and Kenny frowned.
"I do not make sad endings!" Kenny protested.
"Um, what about Witch? That witch just flew away. And what about Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story? The oni just disappeared." Ash said.
"I can't believe you think my songs are sad ending. I will prove it's not." Kenny smirked and started to write something down.
"Okay, who's going to sing that?" Dawn asked.
"You and Drew." Kenny shortly answered.
"What?" The said two asked.
"I said Dawn and Drew. This is a song about siblings, you two are siblings, right?" The two blinked at the stupid Penguin's word and grumbled something.
"Cool, double duets!" Zoey and Kenny did a high five. Misty glanced at Ash who wasn't really paying attention now, only happily digging into the turkey. Misty frowned, disappointed and hit him again with the mallet.
"Ow! What was that for?" Ash asked, rubbing his head.
"That was for… Something!" Misty shouted and after grabbing her stuffs she stormed out of the room. Everyone blinked except for Paul who was too busy eyeing Dawn and Drew.
Misty ran down the empty hall and crouched down when she reached her locker. She felt tears coming up a little for unknown reason. She wiped it off and leaned against the locker, sighed and closed her eyes to think. If someone breaks her heart, which only happened once, why was it? She was brave, smart, athletic but coward when it comes to admitting and confessing.
The bell rang and she stood up, got her stuff and walked to the class she had with Leaf and Gary. The infamous chemistry class.
When she arrived she got into the lab coat and saw Leaf and Gary talking about something in a language she couldn't understand; science. She could swear if Gary wasn't a singer he would have been a hot and handsome nerd. Leaf, whatever she wants to do she doesn't really have a choice but to follow her family tradition and run the company. And Misty doubt the elders in Green Family would let her go just because she's a singer.
Misty got paired up with a random girl and when she was done with it she watched Leaf and Gary. How could those two be so peaceful with each other after that happened? It was definitely a mystery. Misty watched them in slight jealousy and sighed.
The school was over and she was heading back to the dorm, and saw every single of her friends there. Dawn was running away from Paul who was trying to get her into a conversation, May and Drew were arguing about something, Gary and Leaf were on a bench, talking about something, possibly nerdy and Marina and Jimmy were making out. Kenny and Zoey were talking too, songs possibly and then she saw Ash who was eating alone. She sighed, walked over and sat down next to him.
"Don't hit me." He said and she smiled.
"I won't. Sorry though." Misty said.
Ash kept on munching on a sandwich. He looked down and offered her one, she shook her hands.
"What do you think our duet's going to be?" Ash suddenly asked.
"I don't know. But Zoey always writes something that wasn't really predictable. She is full of ideas. She tells her story through music." Misty said.
"Yeah, that's right. She's not so good with making sentences but poem and lyrics are different to her. I don't know the difference! Kenny said those kinds of things before too." Ash said.
"I guess most of the producers are like that." Misty laughed a little.
"I guess."
A week later
Misty read through the lyrics over and over and frowned. Zoey seriously had twisted brain. Cinderella is a beautiful fairytale for heaven's sake! Ugh, she couldn't believe it but not like she had a choice of it anyway.
"Are you sure about this? I mean, it's not much of a love duet." Misty asked.
"Of course it is!" Zoey and Kenny, who helped her with lyrics, said. Everyone sweatdropped at their reaction.
"I know you two were twisted but not this much." Paul said.
"We are not twisted! Just bit full of imagination." Zoey said and Kenny nodded in agreement.
"The music video is something that I really would not want to watch but is forced to." Leaf said.
"You will have to watch for Misty's sake." Marina said.
"Damn." Few girls groaned.
"So, shall we go record it?" Zoey asked as she dialed Reggie's number.
"Yeah sure, whatever." Ash and Misty said and then the two were gone with Zoey.
When they entered the house they were bit surprised to see almost empty house.
"Aren't you lonely here?" Misty asked.
"Why should he? He probably brought his girlfriend and-"
Reggie cut Ash off, "I don't have a girlfriend, what made you get the idea?" He asked.
"Being away from you for about 2 months." Ash said and Reggie rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. How's others doing anyway?" He asked.
"Well, you do know that Drew and Dawn broke up, right?" Reggie nodded.
"And they are siblings. Yes I know that."
"Other than that, not much." Zoey said, they decided to keep the incident between Gary and Leaf a secret.
"I see." Reggie said as he opened the door to the studio, letting them in.
A week before November
The girls and the boys gathered around Zoey's laptop for the song's music video.
"How was the filming?" Dawn asked.
"Tiring work. I had to wear a ball gown! Can you believe that?" Misty asked, still looking horrified and Zoey muttered, 'sorry'.
"Just start it already and get this over with!" Ash complained.
"Got it." Zoey said, starting to type in slow motion and clicking the video. She earned a glare from the raven haired boy.

Sound of cold wind howling and clock ticking started.
It showed a clock almost going to twelve o'clock midnight. When it reached the clock rang. When it ran about three times, Misty started to sing 'ah' and it got higher later. After the voice caught on the climax no voice was heard.
The scene showed Misty with her hair down and a small diamond pin on her hair, she was wearing long aqua blue dress, she was looking up at the castle building.
Another 'ah' and it showed the view of inside the castle, currently empty and moon shining.
It soon showed Misty in an old peasant dress, in front of her was a woman in mask, handing her a knife. She shook her head but the woman forced her to grab it and the scene shifted.
Misty: "Taking your hand in advance, you and I both start to dance
Keeping to the rhythm of the ticking clock."
It showed Misty entering the hall, looking around.
"Fingers calling to escape, telling me they cannot wait
I follow you, three at a time to keep it in the dark."
She spotted Ash, he was in white formal with blue sash around his left shoulder to his waist. He was smiling, talking with other people. He glanced and saw Misty. He froze and they stared at each other like that.
Ash: "The bitter cold from a carriage.
Now you are."
Together: "Dancing in clothes that will turn back into rags.
And you'll be you in the dawn."
Ash offered to dance with her and the two started to dance. Misty smiled while dancing and she flinched a little when she saw the woman in the mask in the crowd.
"Dancing far away from a stranger.
Someone who leads a small parade.
Tying the blade under your dress to keep it safe, you feel skin against the blade."
Misty smiled as she lightly patted a certain part of the dress, trying to keep the blade safe. She forced another smile and the two kept on dancing.
"Orphans gather inside the castle
Each of their smiles hidden, gone, or fake."
It showed the view of the ballroom, people were watching them and in Misty's point of view, she could only see dark evil smiles when they were just watching.
"The wings of an angel cannot tell you the truth, or say which path you should take."
Misty nervously looked at the clock, eleven thirty. She gulped as she looked up at the handsome young man who was smiling lovingly down at her.
Ash: "The glass slipper, left up on the stair.
Slowly burns into ash and fades into the air."
It showed Ash looking at her and frowned a little when he saw Misty's glass slippers fading black.
Misty: "Knowing you want to go home, I turn my hands into stone.
Seeing this, you glance away to see the time."
Misty sang in Ash's point of view, since she glanced at the time and bit her lips slightly.
"Kicking my glass shoes away, can't say what I want to say
My fingers slowly go up and wrap around like vines."
Misty slowly put her arms around his neck.
Ash: "I tried to remedy her falling sadness."
Ash wiped her tear away and smiled.
Together: "My body feeling like electricity I just cannot handle this."
Ash reached down to kiss Misty.
"Hoping that bell will never ring I cry out my farewell to you.
With the knife in my hand, I ran through your tuxedo I only wish that you knew."
Misty slowly held the knife in her hand and looked up at him, her hand going around his chest who was smiling down, immune to the situation he was in.
"The lone prince in love with the princess
Gunpowder mixed with the scent of perfume.
My iced covered mask soon broke to a million shards
Didn't know it would be this soon."
Misty stabbed his chest with the knife, tears crawling out of her eyes and falling to his body.
Misty: "I still feel his simple breath rubbing up against my skin.
But what a sad dream only once long ago."
Ash: "The silver moon creates the shine around her lovely body.
When she smiles, she really starts to glow."
Short flashback of them dancing, Ash looked down and in Ash's point of view, as the moonlight brushed her skin she looked like an angel who was shining in the darkness.
Misty was running down the stairs, leaving Ash's body on the terrace.
Together: "Rip the dress, you don't need it again
Throw off your crown its past its need.
I quickly look up and connect with you with my eyes, sparking a flame just between."
Misty's flashback showed when she looked up and when he looked down, she blushed and hid her face into his chest.
"You and me now forever truthful
No need to be who you don't want to be
Stopping the need to cry and, forever more,
You will always be with me."
Misty kept on running, crying and reached the palace's garden, she was alone and she could hear screaming.
"I sometimes wish that time would stand still
I want to hold this sweet moment
I want to be able to store it deep in my heart so I know what I felt."
Misty slowly held up her knife and stared at it with tears falling down, she glared at it.
"This sensation fills me with such joy
Our deep love now can never fail
My whole body feels like it's been forever change
Like in a fairytale!"
The scene ended with Misty lying on the grass, blood coming out, her hand held the knife with her and the prince's blood mixed together.
The scene faded and the music was over,

"Okay, that was something that I would love to see. Ketchum dying?" Paul said.
"That's mean." Dawn commented and Paul zipped his mouth.
"That's a seriously different translation of Cinderella. What is with that freaking godmother? Isn't she supposed to be a good fairy? Like, really?" Marina started to complain about the song because she used to have Cinderella as a role model.
"I never liked Cinderella anyway." Zoey said and crossed her arm.
"So did you like that kiss part?" Dawn smirked and whispered.
Misty hissed at her friend and had her shut up for now.
"We are freaking talking about that matter later." Misty growled through her gritted teeth, making the boys wondering what is going on.
"What's going on?" Drew asked.
The girls snickered and Misty became a color of tomato. The boys looked around and Gary started to snicker, Drew realized what was going on and started to laugh along with Gary.
"Guess they know now." Dawn said through her laughter. The only ones who weren't laughing in the room now was Ash, Misty, Jimmy, and Paul. Well Paul never laughs so there's nothing really unusual about it. He's smart, he's probably noticed it.
"Okay we will go now. Good luck Mist." Drew said as he stood up and along with other guys he left the room.
"Okay, what was that about?" Misty asked as soon as the door closed.
"Just, wondering." Dawn said through chuckle.
"It was not funny at all!" Misty said, throwing her arms in the air.
"I thought it was funny." Marina said.
"It's not like you at all. That's what's the fun about." Leaf said.
"I know that it's not like me, but, it's just that…" Misty looked down.
"How can I end this?" Misty asked her friends.
"Easy." May said. Everyone looked at her.
"Tell him." May said. Misty looked unsure.
"That's the only way you will end this thing." May said.
Misty didn't say anything.
"You girl agree on that?" She asked and the others, glanced at each other, then they nodded. Misty took a deep breath and stood up, dusting her pants and knees.
She then headed to the door, getting into her blue sneakers
"What are you, where are you going?" Zoey asked.
"Doing what May suggested." Misty said with a sad smile and walked outside the room. The girls stared at the door and glanced at each other before standing up, stumbling on the progress as well.
Misty quickly ran down the stairs and saw the boys chatting and called out Ash's name. The boys all turned around.
"Um, yeah, Mist?" Ash walked up to her. The guys looked at the rest of the girls who ran down from the dorm. Luckily for Misty the road was empty except for her friends.
"I need to tell you something." She said. Her face was red, both from running and embarrassment.
"What is it?" Ash asked, looking completely puzzled.
"I, I….." Misty looked up at Ash and looked directly into his eyes. He flinched at this.
"I like you Ash Ketchum. Not as a friend, but a guy." Misty said. Everyone stared at her bold move.
There was an awkward silence between them. Ash was too shocked to say anything. Well it was his first time to hear it, not from a fan.
He blinked, he was gawking at the poor blushing girl. His mouth hanging open. He looked around at his friends for help but all the did was to shrug or make a sorry face.
"Um, I think I need to get my history homework done." That's all what Ash said before he ran off, leaving Misty in shock. Tears starting to form in her eyes as her friends started to comfort her.
"Should we beat him up?" Gary asked and the girls nodded.
Ash ran up to his room and gasped for a breath. Why don't they ever fix that stupid elevator? He opened the door and he climbed to his bunk and closed his eyes. He was about to fall asleep when his friends entered. About to kill him for making a girl cry.
"Hey, if that's a crime then Paul here would be dead by now. You saw what he did to Dawn." Ash protested. One thing he is good at.
"That's not the focus here you moron." Paul growled. But he didn't really care about Ash breaking carrot head's heart or something. He got his own big fat girl problem, he didn't want to get involved into another one.
"Anyway, why didn't you answer 'yes' or 'no'? Tell me!" Gary said as he dragged the poor boy down from the bunk.
"I, I don't know. I like her but…. I just need time to think." Ash said, he was red a little though.
"And care to explain your facial color?" Jimmy smirked.
Ash didn't say anything. He avoided his friends' glance and sighed.
