That Was Then and This is Now
NOTE: I don't own any people or places, unless I invent one suddenly. I think it all belongs to Nintendo, but other companies have copyrights to poke`mon too, I think.
Misty and Ash are around maybe 20?, 19? This is sort of a sequel to "I Just Don't Know."
Misty was walking steadily along the streets of the Cerulan City, holding togepi tightly in her arms. She remembered her first kiss, the first time she feel in love, the first time she had been in bliss. Misty remembered the day she and Ash Kechem, she shuddered momentarily at his name, kissed. It was a warm summer night in the woods near Pallet town, and she was so confused, yet she soon she felt like she was in heaven, and nothing could go wrong. She was wrong, everything could go wrong. That year was like a dream, a dream she remembered every day, every time she battled young trainers, every day when she looked on her dresser, with all the pictures she had stuck to the edge of her mirror of Ash, pikachu, Brock and herself, every time she would window shop, and see the marriage shops, and she would cry, a quiet trickle of water streaking her cheeks. Ash had left her, he just said, "good bye," and left with his fiancée. A blond beauty, Prisilla, her blue eyes mocking her, saying, "I've got your man." She wondered how Ash could have been that stupid, to fall for such a shallow seducer. She walked back to the gym, she felt so lonely in the empty gym, with only her and her pokemon. She sat on her bed, and started to hum, a song her and ash had listened to, mocking it and laughing.
Some things I guess I won't forget
Like the first time or the night we met
I wish I could go back there
Tonight, tonight
Looking in your eyes, the way held me tight
Where'd it all go wrong where it felt so right
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Tonight, tonight
Tonight
Funny how you said people never change
We'll always be together till the very end
That was then, and this is now
You and me were like a movie scene
Superstars playing in a teenage dream
The no rewarding life
Tonight, tonight
I guess you could have broken
Someone else's heart
I'm the lucky winner, cause I played the part
Don't want to say good bye
Tonight, tonight
Tonight
Funny how you said people never change
We'll always be together to the very end
That was then and this is now
Funny how I held on you every word
Trusted and believed no matter what I heard
That was then and this is now
You said, "I'll be your first, my love
There'll never be another one
Don't worry I'll tell no one
You and me together will be so much fun."
You said, "I'll be your first, my love
There'll never be another one
Don't worry I'll tell no one
You and me together will be so much fun."
Sometimes you gotta let things be
Even when the truth is that you lied to me
I want to keep these thought away
From me
From me
Funny how you said people never change
We'll always be together to the very end
That was then and this is now
Funny how I held on you every word
Trusted and believed no matter what I heard
That was then and this is now
Funny how you said people never change
Let me tell you something, baby
Life is strange
That was then and this is now
That was then and this is now
Remember me
Like I remember you
Remember me
Like I remember you
Misty smiled grimly, it was true. Rinnnnnng, rinnnnng. Misty went and answered her phone.
"yes?" Misty asked.
"misty, this is ash-" Ash started, but never finished his sentence because Misty hung up on him as soon as she could. He left her to be with a pretty model, and he tries to talk to her! Yet, then she regretted hanging up on him, through the telephone, his voice was like music, and she savored and loved every word, yet Ash would never understand, he was blinded by beauty, he had become a Brock II. She opened a small palm-sized blue book, and started to write.
I cry every time I go into my room, or see black hair, or a red hat. Ash called me, and I hung up, I'm so mad at him, yet, I still love him, after three years, and I haven't seen him since I ran into him in Veridian city, and then I only said, "hi." Is Prisilla still his wife, or his girlfriend, did they ever get married? I can't live anymore, why did he have to do that? what does Prisilla have that I don't? Long wavy blond hair, or deep blue eyes? Beauty?
The next day a letter came from an unknown source, and Misty opened it hesitantly. In it read:
Misty-
Hello, will you come to pallet town in a week? Me and Brock are having a bit of a reuinion with all of our friends, Tracy, Richie, Todd, etc. Will you come? We are holding it at my house, and it wouldn't be right if you weren't there.
-Ash
Misty thought about it, she would probably have to face Prisilla, and she didn't want to, she didn't want to talk to Ash, she'd scream. Misty went to the party, though.
"Misty, hello," Ash said to her. Misty tried so hard not to scream at him for being such an idiot, and clenched her teeth in anger.
"Yes, hello. Where is Prisilla?" Misty asked Ash.
"Oh, she left. We got a divorce a year ago. I'm sorry Misty," Ash confessed.
"That's all you say?!" Misty began. She faced ash, and tears started to run down her face in sheets, it reminded her of three years ago, when they first were in love. They were reliving their first kiss, they were 17 again, in the woods. She felt herself melting in his arms, and he kissed her. He regretted everything he had ever done in the last three years, and wished that Prisilla never came into his life.
