Best Friend
Ash grinned wickedly. "So, you have fun with your little friend last night?"
Misty gave a dreamy sigh, spinning around happily. "Oh, Ash, it was wonderful. I spent the entire night with him. He was so sweet. He's not the stupid, annoying jock type at all. I mean, just because he's on the football team, as the quarterback and all. Still, he's such a great guy. He took me out to the movies and then to dinner at this really, really romantic restaurant. It was just great. He's such a nice guy and…oh, Ash! I could have just asked him to marry me on the spot! I can't believe what I'm feeling! IN all my crushes, all my life I've never felt this way before! I know it's ridiculous to say so, I'm only sixteen but…but I think I may be in love Ash. I think I'm truly in love."
Ash poked her. "Bother."
She glared. "No more Potter Puppet Pals."
He stared at her innocently, then jabbed her again. "Bother."
"Ash!" she raged, crossing her arms and glaring at him. "Come on, I'm happy. You're just jealous because there's nothing you can do about it."
He grinned and leaned forward. "Well, we're in a badfic. So, applying to badfic rules, all I have to do to get you into my arms is to say-" he cleared his throat "-Misty, all year I've been after you, loving you as your best friend. Every single thing you do makes my heart stop, makes my head spin, and I wish I could be with you forever. Your best friend, childhood friend, loves you Misty. Do you love me back?"
She took a deep breath, pouting. "I haven't talked to you in forever!"
"Do you love me?" he taunted.
"I haven't looked at you!"
"Do you love me?"
"I was focused on my hot jock!"
He sniggered. "You totally love me."
She plopped down at the table with a moan. "You just ruined my life! I hate these stupid rules! I had love, dammit. It was real, working, put effort into it, not Sue love, and you ruined it with your stupid fanfiction and it's impossible stupidity. You suck Ash. You…you suck. You're a dumbAsh."
Moral of the Story: Ah, the traditional best-friend love story. Right, yeah, you see, it's kinda annoying when, out of nowhere, they decide to fall in love with their best friend. I mean, they hint at it the entire story, you know the "best friend" is in love with the main character, but it's not until the very last second that they ditch the "hot guy" they've been pining after the entire story and randomly decide they actually loved their best friend all along, even though they've only spoken for like twenty minutes the entire year.
Rant
Remember that author I told y'all about? Still doing it. Released another one. Doesn't even bother with summaries any more. I'm so. So. So sick of it. Still getting showers of love, by the way. Still filled with rage. Should I even bother reviewing? Really? Should anyone even try anymore? Is there even a purpose? I mean, I suppose it is. I'm not bothering with the author anymore, but…I'll review anyone once, I guess.
