------------------------
::At the Museum::
"Wow! I've never been to a museum! This is so cool!"
Mark looked at her. She was gawking at everything. He laughed.
"Hey Mark?" she asked picking up a small vase.
"Yeah?"
"So, you're a Pokemon Trainer? Are you traveling anywhere? I mean, where are you
going next?" she asked.
"Well, yes and no. I'm a Pokemon Trainer, but I don't travel anywhere. This is where I
live. This is my home. I'm well known around here. I plan to stay here for a long time" He
said without looking at her.
"Oh?" she said putting down the vase.
She walked over to him.
"Your parents are here and your family right?"
"No...I don't have any family....they uh...well....I uh..." he trailed off.
Misty looked at him quizzically.
"You don't have any family? Where are your parents?" she asked quietly.
"They uh died a couple of years ago in a car crash..." he turned to her smiling.
"But, I don't want pity. I'm okay! I have lots of people who love me here and lots of
friends!"
She didn't believe him but smiled anyway.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you that"
She opened her arms and asked, "Forgive me?"
"Of course!" he said hugging her tightly.
She hugged back tightly and smiled.
"So, you and Ash are traveling around, am I right?" Mark asked as they moved on through
the Museum.
"Yeah, we move around alot and...well I don't know when we're leaving here"
He looked up at her hurt. "Oh...you're leaving soon? I should have expected that"
He said first frowning then hiding it with a fake smile and a small laugh.
"Oh Mark...I well....I" she sighed.
He stopped suddenly and turned to her. She faced him with a pitiful expression on her
face.
"Mist...I wish you wouldn't leave..I know you have to but...uh..I wish you would stay here
with me"
She sighed and looked at him sadly. What was he asking her?! To leave Ash and stay
behind here in this small town with him?! What could she do?! He was her friend but so
was Ash. Ash had a mom back in Pallet town but Mark had no one but her. What would
she do?
Baby, baby to me you're everything
Its just the love and joy that you bring
No one can take the place I'm giving you
Oh, girl you're like an angel in disguise
you are the dream that will never die
Cause baby to me you're everything
::At the Pokemon Center::
Ash sat on the bed and sighed. Pikachu ran up to him and jumped on his lap. Ash fell back
and laid on his back.
"Pika?" Pikachu said sadly.
Ash smiled at him and hugged him tightly.
"Ya know Pikachu? I've noticed since we first met Mark, he was all over Misty. Calling
her "Mist" and everything! I cannot believe she is falling for him! Pikachu what do you
think?"
"Pika Pikachu..." Pikachu said shrugging.
"Yeah, but...what if she DOES fall for 'Mr. Billionaire'?
"Pi...."
Togepi walked into the room wandering around looking for it's mommy. They were like a
family almost. Ash was almost like a 'daddy' to Togepi since Misty was his mommy.
Pikachu was like his older brother...the one that protected him. Togepi tried to climb up
onto the bed with his 'Daddy'. Ash reached down and picked Togepi up and lifted him
onto his chest.
Laughing he said, "Your mommy isn't here right now Togepi..she's with Mr. Perfect..."
sounding sad.
"Togeppppppri!!" it chirped. He laughed and hugged it.
Pikachu jumped on him too, so that all three were rolling around on the bed with Ash
laughing happily. Misty walked into the room and looked at them. One big happy family.
She smiled sadly as her eyes started to water. He suddenly stopped laughing as he noticed
someone there. He opened his eyes and looked at Misty.
"Hey. Did you have fun?" he said trying to sound cheerful.
"Yeah, I did. Thanks for taking care of Togepi for me. I know he's a handful." she said
quietly.
"No it was nothing really" Ash said sitting up. "Togepi really isn't that hard to take care of.
Pikachu helped too."
Togepi jumped off the bed and ran over to Misty. She picked him up and smiled.
"Togeprrrrri!"
"Well, thanks anyway...um...I'm gonna go get ready for bed." she said quietly and left with
Togepi.
"Misty....." he whispered. "What happened to us?" he asked.
"Pika.."
Ash went into the bathroom and got ready for bed. After all, it was 10pm. Misty had been
gone for a long time. Almost eight hours. Misty yawned and climbed into bed. Ash was
already in the bottom bunk, which means he had reserved the top for Misty. She always
had the top bunk. Mostly, because a very long time ago when they had bunks she had
asked him for top. Of course, they had fought but she had won in the end. They never
spoke of it again and he always gave her top from then on. Ash heard her climb into bed
ontop. He sighed, and drifted off to sleep.
::Next Morning::
Ash woke up to the sound of a shower running. He got up and walked to the front room
and leaned against the counter. He had hardly slept at all last night. Nurse Joy had just
woken up and yawned and stretched. She walked over to where Ash was sulking against
the counter.
"Good Morning!" she said cheerfully.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes, but it's something that I have to accept. It's nothing that I can fix and it's nothing
anybody else can help me with either"
She was surprised at his grouchy attitude. She had heard he was normally a cheerful boy
from all her cousins.
He stood up straight and apologized, "I'm sorry Nurse Joy....I didn't mean to.."
She stopped him in mid sentence. "It's okay...really I think I understand what you're going
through"
"You do?" he asked her but was stopped at the knock at the door.
He turned to the door and Nurse Joy exclaimed, "Oh! I've just been standing here chatting
and I forgot to unlock the doors!" she ran over to the door and unlocked it.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Petash"
"It's okay Nurse Joy" Mark said walking into the center. "Hi Ash, I'm here to pick up
Mist. Is she here?"
"Yeah, she's upstairs taking a shower" Ash said carelessly.
Mark's eyes' widened and he looked at Ash and asked, "And you know that
because.....you....?" Mark started.
Nurse Joy got interested and listened in. Ash jumped and looked at Joy and Mark,
"Waaaah! I mean I heard the shower running! What do you think?!!" he said angrily.
"I didn't mean to make you mad...sorry I just thought you guys might be together as a
couple ya know? You mean you aren't?" he asked sincerely.
"No! of course....not why-why would you think that?" Ash asked embarrassed.
"Oh, I dunno..." He said as Misty ran into the room with her hair down her back still a
little damp.
She was dressed in her normal outfit though.
"Hey! Sorry I'm late..but my hair is still wet and I was taking a shower and..." she started
to apologize.
"It's okay really! So you ready to go?" he said smiling.
"Sure!" Togepi walked into the room and clamped onto Misty's leg. "aah...Togepi you
can't go with us.." she giggled.
Togepi started to cry and Mark looked down at it. He picked it up and held it into the sky.
"Aww....it's so cute. Is it yours Mist?"
"Yeah, he wants to come along I suppose"
Togepi stopped crying and looked at the new boy that his mommy was so interested in.
Pikachu walked in the room.
"Toge Toge Togeprrri? (Big brother, who is this guy? Why is mommy leaving?)"
"Pika Pika Pikachu Pi Pika Pi Pika (That is a guy that your mommy likes, he is going to
replace Ash so we won't be brothers anymore...)" Pikachu said sadly.
No one could understand them of course. Togepi started crying and Mark put him down.
Togepi ran to Ash and he picked him up.
"Aww...Togepi it's okay don't cry" Ash smiled knowing Togepi hated Mark and loved
*him*.
Togepi quit crying and hugged Ash.
"Togepi sure loves you Ash" she smiled.
But it was a sad smile and Ash noticed. Misty suddenly turned to Mark.
"Um...Mark? I'll have to take a raincheck on that lunch. I-I need to talk to Ash about
something" she said solemnly.
"Oh uh...sure I'll just see you later Mist"
"Okay, see ya...." Mark left and Misty turned to Ash. "Ash...We need to talk"
Ash swallowed hard and nodded. They went into the back where they were staying for
some privacy. With Togepi in one arm and Pikachu following them Ash sat down in a
chair and Misty sat across from him on the small couch.
"Ash...I'm staying here with Mark" Ash looked up at her.
"Wahh?"
"When you leave to go onto the next town, I'll stay behind here and live with Mark. If you
want...you can take Togepi with you. I know how much he means to you. So...."
Ash looked at her. He wasn't sure if he heard her right.
"Mist...what are you saying?"
She looked down when she heard that nickname. Her eyes watered. Why did he have to
make this so hard? Brock had left before and it wasn't that hard. Sure, they missed him but
they got over him soon enough..right? And He'd get over me...wouldn't he? Because she
wasn't sure she'd get over him that easily.
"I just have to Ash...I-I'm sorry" Ash looked at her and said quietly.
"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow for Saphron City"
She looked up and nodded. Ash got up and walked out. Pikachu followed but not before
looked behind him.
"Pi..." Then he ran off. Togepi looked at his mommy and then ran after Pikachu. Misty sat
there alone and cried.
::Next Day::
Ash was all packed and ready to go. He looked at Misty as they stood outside the
Pokemon Center. Misty stood straight and tried not to cry. After all, this was her decision.
"Well, I guess...I'll see ya sometime....Mist" Ash said.
She walked closer to him and hugged him. She laid her head on his shoulder and sighed.
This was the last time she would ever smell his scent. The smell of his gloves and jacket.
And see his adorable black shirt. And his cute little hat. And his dirty cheeks. She closed
her eyes sadly. He wrapped his arms around her back and leaned against her. He felt her
long red hair and how silky and smooth it was. The curls that never showed because of
that ponytail she'd wear. He had convinced her to wear her hair down and now she left it
that way...for him. He smiled sadly and let go. He picked up his bag and glanced at Mark
one last time.
"See you later Ash! Sorry to see you go!" the Billionaire said cheerfully.
"Goodbye Mark, Goodbye Togepi, Good-bye Misty"
He nodded his head and turned to walk away. With Togepi crying in her arms, Pikachu
walked over to Misty and Togepi jumped out of her arms. They hugged each other and
said something Mark and Misty didn't understand.
"Pika...Pi Pika Pi Pikachu chu chu Pika (I'll miss you little brother! It'll be okay...take care
of Misty. See you later)"
Ash waited for Pikachu.
"Toge....Toge Togepriiii Pi Pi Togepriiiii(Why do you have to go?! Big Brother no!!!)"
He started to cry as Pikachu turned and ran as Ash disappeared into the sun. Misty sighed
and walked away slowly with Mark.
