Misty took a final look at her room and hung up the phone. She signed deeply and continued to pack her large suitcases. She nearly cried when she thought about what she was leaving behind. It was only when she realized that her eyes may start to match her hair if she didn't stop did she wipe her eyes in her jacket sleeve. "Why do I worry myself with this?" she thought out loud "I'm...T'm...great I can't even say it. Big, brave Misty and I can't even say that I'm finally ahhhh" she hit her suitcase with both fist and then laid on her bed again. She daydreamed about little saphires surrounded by bits of gold. It was her secret dream to have a child whom she could give something to last as a family heirloom. At this rate it would never happen. Everyone had someone in their lives - everyone except for her. Misty bolted upright. "Why should I be sorry that I'm... I have nothing here and if I stay I never will have anything. I bet I'm not even wanted." she almost started to cry until she heard a knock at the door.
"Hey Misty" Ash's head popped through a crack in the door. "Don't you know that you wait for an answer before you come in? What if I were getting dressed in here?" she said this a snappily as usual. "Then I'd have nightmares for weeks" he replied. He had this way of saying something odd in such a serious way that Misty used to love. Or did she still love it? Debating over this caused her to keep silent for a while, concentrating on the wall but looking beyond it in a sense. It was only when she realized she might look a little weird did she snap out of it and looked more gently at Ash. "So what did you want?" she asked much more softly than before. A wide smile spread across his lips. "Well I didn't hear ya for a couple of minutes so I thought something was wrong." She almost felt like crying again so she looked away instead. "I'm leaving in the morning you know. I was just on the phone with Rudy and he's offered me a place to stay until I get my own" she was speaking so softly that she was barely audible. Ash stared shocked for a while and ran off.

That night, Ash through a great going away party for Misty. There was a little wine and champagne there for after all they were old enough to drink so it was no problem. Misty remained quiet for nearly the entire time. Ash sat next to her and grinned "well Misty, it looks like we'll finally go our seperate ways after so long. Hah. You know I just thought of how quiet it'll be without you here. There aren't many people who can nag like you can." He was still smiling. Misty took one look at the one she had known for ten years and had followed through every adventure and every obstacle. She looked long and hard that the face of the one she used to love and started to cry. The big grin started to fade. "Aw, don't cry Misty we'll all miss you - especially Violet - but don't worry, we'll all get a long fine without you here." Misty stopped crying for a moment and then burst out crying even harder than before. She briefly said excuse me and ran upstairs into the house to her bedroom. "What did I say?" Ash said as he sat there watching the house where Misty had just run into to. Violet held her hands in her head, Rose groaned and buried her head into Brock's chest and shook it slowly back and forth, Gary rolled his eyes and said 'pathetic' under his breath as he had so many times before, Brock murmured poor thing and Tracy sighed deeply and leaned against a nearby tree. But none of them, not one was sorry for Misty-they were sorry for Ash.
