Enjoy!
It's all for you Chapter 6: Do you remember that day?
"Hmm.. looks like were lost." Ash sighed.
"You got to be kidding me." Misty replied.
"Nope. We were just on I-10 and heading south but now we're heading east for some reason." Ash explained.
"Do you know how to get back?" Misty asked.
"Nope." Ash replied, "We could take 95 but it would take another hour just to get there."
"Sure why not?" Misty asked.
"An hour?" Ash's jaw dropped, "It's practically ten pm!"
"So?" Misty replied, "Then we could go walk on the beach."
"*smiles* Of coarse." Ash gave in, "Let's go."
Lucky isn't the word for me. I'm way past lucky! I got this gorgeous man that loves me and wants to start on a family. God how lucky am I?
"You okay?" Ash asked, "You're awfully quiet."
"Just fine. I'm thinking." Misty replied, "You know bout' Brock and Valerie. Everything's going so fast."
"Yep." Ash nodded, "But sometimes I wish time would stop for a moment to let us catch up."
"You know what I just thought?" Misty asked.
"What's that?" Ash replied.
"Ten years ago.." Misty began.
"It can't be ten years can it?" Ash asked, "Ten years ago we actually got together."
"I still remember that Cinderella play." Misty added, "And Brock's trouble at Professor Bella's."
"It's amazing how fast time has went." Ash agreed.
"Hey are the kids asleep?" Misty asked.
"Hmm.. yep, must have passed out." Ash nodded as he checked on the two little ones, Togepi and Pikachu.
"Remember that dance we went to about 9 and a half years back and we truly found out we loved each other?" Misty asked.
"How could I forget?" Ash asked.
~Flashback~
"Look what we have here.." Ash instructed as he pointed out a winter dance in Lyon city.
"We should go." Misty suggested, "It'd be fun right Ash?"
"Yeah, and Brock can have a chance to find someone." Ash agreed.
"When is it?" Brock asked.
"It says December 14th, 2001. It's at 10 pm." Misty explained, "It's at the Lyon Pavilion. That's great it's tonight!"
"Sounds good, agreed?" Ash asked.
"Yep!" Misty replied.
"Yeah, I could ask a Nurse Joy out!" Brock added.
"Man when are you going to get the picture that Nurse Joy will not go out with you?" Ash asked.
"Never." Brock smiled, "Never."
"Figures." Misty sighed, "Come on Ash we have to go buy you a tux and get your err.. umm nappy hair fixed up."
"Mist.." Ash cried, "I hate tux."
"Well then I'll go with Brock." Misty replied.
"Fine." Ash muttered, "I'll wear the thing."
"*smiles* Good! Come on gentlemen, we're off to the mall!" Misty instructed.
"Women." Ash sighed, "I'll never understand them.."
"You don't have to understand them." Brock explained, "You just have to love them."
"Come on!" Misty yelled as she ran to the nearest shopping center.
"Ack... not the mall." Ash cried, "Please not the mall."
"Come on Ash your girlfriend really wants to go to this dance thing." Brock insisted.
"I guess your right." Ash smiled, "Coming honey!"
~End of Flashback~
"I remember that day perfectly." Misty explained, "From the clothes to our dance."
"You looked amazing that night." Ash explained.
"And I don't now?" Misty asked.
"You look gorgeous now." Ash explained.
"I remember when we were searching for your perfect tux.." Misty sighed.
"Hey you're the one who wanted me to wear a tux." Ash replied.
~Flashback~
"This one looks good." Misty explained, "Wow! The price is really cheap!"
Ash looked at the tag and his jaw dropped at the price: $500.00.
"Err.. let's go check out some other places." Ash explained.
"But this one is so nice." Misty replied, "It'll look so good on you."
"Let's check out a couple more stores, get lunch then we'll pick out a tux." Ash suggested.
"Well okay." Misty gave in, "Where to next?"
Wal-mart is good, Ash thought, "Let's go to Belk."
"Well okay, they don't have a lot of selection, but they might." Misty agreed, "Maybe something for Togepi too."
"I heard Pikachu and Togepi are going together.." Ash began, "We should get their outfits too."
"Yeah, unless Brock buys them." Misty suggested.
"Never!" Ash and Misty said together.
"I could never see Brock buy clothes for Poke'mon." Misty explained, "None the less for himself."
"Remember his pink shirt?" Ash asked.
"I could never forget." Misty giggled, "All the girls ran from him!"
"Even the men." Ash added.
Ash and Misty walked throughout mall looking for the perfect tux. They bumped into Brock, Pikachu and Togepi at the ice cream parlor on their way to Gap. The trio were chowing down on ice cream and goodies. Brock had already picked out a tux for him and outfits for the kids. In which case stunned Ash and Misty to see he had so much taste. They departed from Gap to Flower de' Nice to check out some more tuxes which brought up a question.
"Babe what are you going to wear?" Ash asked.
"Uh.. err.. umm.. I guess something from a store.. heh." Misty stuttered.
"How bout' I go find me a tux and you go find yourself a dress?" Ash suggested.
"I don't have any money!" Misty yelled, "Do you?!"
Ash fell over anime style, "Here's three hundred dollars, and is it enough?"
"Plenty thank you." Misty smiled as she kissed his cheek, "We'll meet here at six pm."
"Okay." Ash agreed.
"I love you." Misty smiled.
"I love you too." Ash replied.
They departed their ways as Misty headed to The rave and Ash ran to the nearest cab to get a ride to Wal-mart, considering he gave more than half his money to Misty. Ash was driven to the store on San Jose Road.
"Hope this place is cheap." Ash muttered under his breath, "I'm kind of low on cash."
Meanwhile Misty was in The rave trying on many dresses. It was mild in Lyon so she wanted something to be comfortable in. Maybe a long sleeve dress which cut up to her knees. She went though The rave as fast as she got in.
"No taste." Misty muttered, "I need something blue!"
She was very frustrated. She wanted to look picture-perfect. Amazing just for Ash. She knew Ash wouldn't care what she wore but she wanted to look...
She wanted to look:
Amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, swell, cute, sexy, hot, shimmering, cool, incredible, charming, darling, dazzling, stunning, jaw-dropping, astounding, pretty, nice, fluffy, sweet, flattering, magical, perfect, lovely, angelic, lively, sassy, creative, and everything to do with looking nice.
She left the Rave and walked over to Dale's Wedding Store. It was a sore for Wedding dresses.
Wedding.. dance.. close enough. I think. Misty thought.
"Welcome to dale's how may I help you?" The employee asked.
"I'm looking for a blue dress for a dance tonight. It needs to have sleeves but cutoff at my knees." Misty explained, "It has to be blue."
"Well come with me and I'll show you what we got." The employee instructed, "To your right is all the dresses that are blue. There is a variety."
"Which one can I get for 300 dollars?" Misty asked, "I'm kind of on a low budget."
"Hmm... we have this one, its blue, semi sleeve's and should cut off about 2 inches from your knees. It's very stylish and only 200 dollars." The employee explained, "It's our last one and it looks just about your size."
The dress was shimmering with glitter and swayed like the ocean. If you looked at it in the right direction it looked as deep as the deepest ocean.
"I'll take it!" Misty said happily, "Do you have any shoes to go with that?"
On the other hand Ash was swamped with men stampeding for the tux isle. Most likely as for the same reason a Ash: A tux for the dance.
"Figures." Ash muttered, "But even I came for a tux!" He crawled under the women's department and into the young adult's section. It was rather empty but had a nice selection of tuxes and accessories.
"Much better than the mall." Ash said to himself, "Pick one and get out. The cash out lines are probably long."
Ash searched through the racks, in and out of different styles of tuxes. he knew Misty was probably getting a blue dress so he wanted to match with it, {See he's not that dense, then again...} He came across a blue/black tux. It came with a tie and belt. He didn't even care about the style, but the price: $100.00.
"Perfect." Ash smiled, "Now since I have some dough left I could go get some new Poke' balls."
As soon as six o' clock came around, Misty and Ash were at the Flower de' Nice store. They both worn out from their shopping and still thay had to go to the dance that night! What a night would it be!
"Let me see your tux." Misty instructed. She was stunned at what Ash pulled out of the Belk bag he stole to look like he didn't go to Wal-mart.
"It matches mine!" Misty said. She pulled out her blue dress that she loved.
"It's amazing." Ash said.
"Thanks. I got mine at the Wedding store." Misty explained, "Now where's Brock and the guys?"
"I thought you were going to tell them that we would meet here." Ash replied.
"No.." Misty explained, "Guess we have to go find them."
"Wait I bet there at the arcade!" Ash suggested.
"Let's go try." Misty replied.
*Ten Minutes Later*
"Any more *great* ideas Einstein?" Misty asked.
"I'm thinking!" Ash replied, "The water fountain!"
"Let's try again." Misty sighed.
This time Ash was right. The trio were standing in front of the fountain flipping pennies into it.
"Where were you guys?" Brock asked.
"Oh shopping." Ash explained.
"Well we've been waiting here for quite a while." Brock explained.
"Sorry Brock, got caught up in the crowd." Misty explained.
"We only got 4 more hour till the dance!" Brock reported, "I already called in for a hotel!"
"Thank God." Misty sighed, "Come on we have to go get ready."
~End of Flashback~
"Did I ever tell you I got that tux from Wal-mart?" Ash asked.
"Nope and I'm glad you didn't!" Misty smiled, "I'd probably would have pounded your head in the ground for lying."
"Well the past is past." Ash explained, "And when haven't you pounded my head in the ground?"
"Shut up Ash." Misty smirked.
"Alright, I will." Ash sighed.
~Flashback~
"Are you ready Mist?" Ash asked for the millionth time.
"Almost." Misty replied, "How much time do we have?"
"About twenty minutes." Ash replied, "Come on I have to go to the bathroom, bad!"
"I'm coming!" Misty yelled as she walked out, "Happy?"
There she stood with her dress on and her cuff earrings dangling from her ears that connected to her glittery face. Her heels were black and flowed well with the dress. The dress stood out on her and made her look magical. The butterfly clip in her hair gave her extra sass. Her hair laid gently upon her back and swayed besides her ears. Her lipstick gave her a innocent look. Her blue eye shadow gave her a mysterious look. All in all should looked amazing.
"Wow..." Ash drooled, "You look amazing.."
"Not so bad yourself Ketchum, now hurry up and let's head out." Misty instructed.
Ash was dressed in the blue/black tux. No comment there.
"Hold on!" Misty yelled, "Come here and let me fix your hair and tie!"
"What?!" Ash yelled. Misty dragged him over to the sofa and combed his hair to where it looked half way decent and straightened up his crocked tie. She smiled once she was done.
"Now go on to the bathroom!" Misty smiled.
"I'm going!" Ash yelled.
"Come on Brock!" Misty yelled, "The limo's waiting!"
"Limo?" Brock asked.
"Yeah, I ordered one." Misty replied.
~End of Flashback~
"I can never forget the dance." Misty sighed, "You looked so charming."
"You looked dazzling." Ash added, "It was great."
"Till Team Rocket attacked." Misty sighed.
"But they're so nice and better now." Ash added.
~Flashback~
"Welcome to The Winter Lyon Dance!" Mr. Huggins the dance producer greeted the incoming people, "Please come on in so we can get the party started."
"It's amazing!" Misty said.
"It's huge!" Ash added.
"Look at all the girls!" Brock yelled as he charged after every girl.
"Leave him, he'll be back later." Misty smiled, "Come on Togepi, Pikachu."
They came out from behind their masters and simply shinned from the rest of the people. They looked cute and sweet.
"Pikachu you watch Togepi." misty ordered, "Have fun!"
The two walked off to the punch and snack table.
"Why if it isn't Ashy boy!" Gary greeted.
"Gary!? What are you doing here?" Ash asked.
"It's a public party isn't it?" Gary smirked, "Misty why did you have to choose that loser over me?"
"He's not a loser!" Misty replied, "Come on Ash let's dance."
"Hold on let me ask Gary something.." Ash smirked, "Where's your date?"
"Err.. uh.. umm.. got to go bye!" Gary ran off.
"Hey guys!" Tracey greeted as he walked over, "Why was Gary in a rush?"
"Hi trace, of no reason. What's up?" Ash asked.
"Nothing much, just doing so sketching for the Professor." Tracey informed, "You two make the cutest couple."
"Thanks, well we got to go dance, talk to you later!" Misty eagerly waved off.
"Bye." Tracey replied sadly.
"Why'd you want to leave so fast?" Ash asked.
"You know Tracey's fruity." Misty informed.
"Yeah but come on he's a friend." Ash replied.
"Your right, let--" But before she could finish, Daisy called over.
"Why you two are the cutest couple!" Daisy yelled, 'You have to go take a dance picture to capture the memory!"
"I always thought you two would get together!" Lily called out from atop the staircase.
"Come on let's get you all picture done!" Daisy suggested.
"Well okay." Misty agreed.
"Sure." Ash smiled.
After their picture was taken it took about ten minutes to develop. Tracey, Daisy, Lily, Violet, and Brock all waited to see the couple's picture.
"It's so cute!" Violet said.
"They were meant to be!" Daisy agreed. Both Ash and Misty stood aside blushing, rather hard.
"Uh.. you can stop now." Misty insisted. Daisy turned and looked at their two blushing faces, "You can't be blushing can you?"
"Well its' kind of annoying having people talk about you." Misty replied.
"Alright we'll stop." Violet smiled, "Now go get on the dance floor!"
Ash and Misty did as told. Both scared of weather or not they could dance. Afraid they might step on the other one's toe or do the wrong motion. One mistake could change it all.
"Don't worry Ash, I know you can dance." Misty whispered in his ear.
"I just don't want to step on your toes or anything.." Ash explained.
"You won't, if you can be a decent date, you can be a decent dancer.." Misty giggled.
"Hey!" Ash blushed, "I'm a good date!"
"There you go!" Misty cheered, "Your dancing!"
"I am?" Ash asked, "I am!" Misty smiled and began to sway left and right to the love song.
"Hmm... I love you Ash." Misty smiled.
"I love you too Mist.." Ash replied.
*Brock at a table*
"Lucky kids.." Brock muttered under his breath. A small tap on his right shoulder stuttered him from his thinking, "Can I sit here?"
"Uh.. sure." Brock replied to a girl about the age of nineteen. She wore a violet dress with a violet rose in her hair.
"Hi my name is Valerie." Valerie introduced herself.
"My.. name is Brock." Brock greeted himself, "What are you doing here all by yourself?"
"Oh.. I just wanted to come.." She replied, "How bout yourself?"
"See the couple in the center of the dance floor. One with black hair, the other with orange?" Brock asked.
"Yes." Valerie replied.
"Came with them." Brock sighed, "Crazy kids."
"No date?" Valerie asked.
"No.. no not this dance." Brock sighed, "You?"
"I wish." Valerie replied, 'My boyfriend just didn't work out so we broke up about three weeks ago."
"I'm sorry." Brock said.
"It's okay, so Brock would you like to dance?" Valerie asked.
"Really?" Brock asked stunned.
"Really." Valerie smiled, "Come on."
Brock and Valerie walked off into the dance floor to dance the night away.
*Meanwhile..*
"Meowth is the plan ready?" Jessie asked.
"Ready for action!" Meowth replied.
"Let's go James!" Jessie instructed.
Suddenly they jumped through the top glass roof.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie yelled.
"Make it double!" James yelled.
"To protect the world from devastation!" Jessie yelled.
"They know the motto come on let's grab dat Pikachu!" Meowth yelled.
"Right!" Jessie and James replied together.
"And I thought the night would be perfect." Ash sighed. he reached at his belt and withdrew a poke'ball, "Blastoise go!"
"Arbok go!" Jessie called out her Poke'mon.
"Zubat go!" James called out.
"Staryu go!" Misty called out.
"Blastoise Hydro Pump!" Ash yelled.
"Arbok use razor leaf!" Jessie yelled.
"Staryu help Blastoise with Hydro Pump!" Misty ordered.
"Zubat use Supersonic!" James yelled.
Blastoise was confused with Zubat's Supersonic as well as Staryu. Both Ash and Misty were nervous about Zubat's supersonic.
"Blastoise return!" Ash called, "Go Pikachu use Thunder!"
"Staryu return!" Misty yelled, "Go Togepi use Metramone!"
"Arbok use Reflect!" Jessie yelled.
"Pikachu and Togepi counter attack with agility!" Misty yelled.
"Zubat's use Fly!" James yelled.
"Pikachu se quick Attack, Togepi use charm!" Ash ordered.
"Zubat watch out!" James yelled.
"Arbok use Poison Sting!" Jessie yelled.
"Togepi use Protect!" Misty yelled. With that Togepi made a veil for Pikachu and himself.
"Stupid egg! Arbok use Solerbeam!" Jessie yelled.
"Pikachu thunderbolt!" Ash yelled.
With that Team Rocket blasted off once again. Pikachu was just way to tough to let Team Rocket try to even beat them.
"Good job Pikachu!" Ash cheered. The floor of people clapped and whooped for the two trainers. They both took a small bow and walked over to Brock and them.
"They try to hard." Ash smiled.
"Good job!" Brock cheered, 'Oh this is Valerie."
"Hello." both Ash and Misty greeted,
"Well her and me are going to go dance again." Brock smiled, "Catch you'll later."
"Told you he would find someone." Ash whispered to Misty.
"I believed you." Misty smiled.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a special dedication to a lucky couple out there. Would Ash and Misty please go to the dance floor?" The announcer asked.
Stunned, they did as told. The crowd made way for the two. Whom were both blushing very hard.
"This is a dedication from, Violet, Daisy, lily, Tracey, Brock, Pikachu, Togepi and Valerie. The son's called Picture Perfect!" The announcer announced.
Ash and Misty stood in shock while the crowd erupted in a applause.
"Let's let the couple dance." The announcer explained. With that a song with a little beat began to play.
"Can I have this dance with you?" Ash asked.
"Of coarse." Misty smiled.
All of this time, guess I must have been blind
Not to see you and me we're picture perfect
I'll should be yours, baby you should be mine
We're picture perfect
Forever picture perfect
My heart keeps tellin' me
Make up your mind about whatcha mean
You've been holding back for too long
You know it makes good sense
Best of lovers are the best of friends
I guess we should have known all along
Everyone thinks it's so romantic
They say we're two of a kind
And the more that I think about it
The more that I realize what I've been missing
All of this time, guess I must have been blind
Not to see you and me we're picture perfect
I'll should be yours, baby you should be mine
We're picture perfect
Forever picture perfect
All of this time, guess I must have been blind
Not to see you and me we're picture perfect
I'll be yours, be mine we're picture perfect
Forever picture perfect
Were picture perfect,
Forever picture perfect.
"Thank you for the dance." Ash smiled.
"Your very welcome." Misty smiled.
~End of Flashback~
"Picture Perfect.." Misty sung to herself.
"Amazing isn't it?" Ash asked.
"Extremely." Misty smiled, "Oh here it is."
"I'll grab the kids." Ash offered.
"Okay, thanks." Misty smiled, "I'll sign us in."
*Inside*
"Table for two adults and two Poke'mon." Misty explained.
"The wait is 10 minutes." The waiter explained.
"Thank you." Misty smiled as she walked back outside.
"How longs the wait?" Ash asked.
"Ten minutes." Misty replied.
"Good I'm hungry." Ash replied.
"When aren't you?" Misty smiled.
"Come on you know I'm trying to cut down on food." Ash replied, "The key word is trying."
"They'll call us over the overhead when our table's ready." Misty explained.
"Non-smoking?" Ash asked.
"Yep." misty replied, "Come on it's getting a bit chilly." Misty instructed as she walke dinside.
"Ketchum part of 2 and two half's, your table is ready!" the waiter announced over the loudspeaker.
"We're here." Misty said.
"Follow me." The waiter explained as she lead them to a table that had a direct view to the ocean.
"Can I get you something to drink?" The waiter asked.
"The kids will have juices and I'll take a hmm.. do you have any champagne?" Misty asked.
"Vintage." The waiter replied.
"I'll take that." Misty said.
"I'll take a coke." Ash explained.
"Okay Two juices, Vintage and a coke?" The waiter asked.
"Yes ma'am." Ash nodded.
"I'll bring back some menus when I bring back the drinks." The waiter explained.
"Thank you." Misty smiled.
"What are you going to have?" Ash asked.
"I don't know, Lobster sounds good." Misty replied, 'I'm kind of hungry tonight."
"Me too." Ash replied, "I'll probably get the Shrimp and Fish dinner as usual."
"I'll order the kids some shrimp dinners." Misty added, "They always order that."
"Sure you want to go to the fair tomorrow?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, I really want to get on the Ring of Fire." Misty replied.
"But what if your pregnant?" Ash asked.
"It takes two weeks before discovery can be made, so I'm safe." Misty replied.
"If your sure." Ash insisted.
"If you feel sick just tell me." Ash ordered.
"Oh I will." Misty replied, "Togepi do you want a cracker?"
"Togepi!" Togepi replied as it crunched down on a cracker.
"When do you have to go back to work?" Misty asked.
"Well I have a meeting Monday at noon, then I'll leave and go back that Thursday." Ash explained, "It's some meeting for the new Poke'mon League rules."
{Authors Note: Right now in the story it's a Saturday.}
"Here you go, and here's your menu." The waiter announced as she brought them their drinks.

*Sabrina2001*
Guess I must have been blind
Not to see you and me
We're picture perfect
Now baby we've been friends
For such a long, long time
We've been through lessons and we've been through cries
But lately have you seen
The way my tongue gets tied
Can't hardly speak when I look into your eyes
It's because of the way I'm feelin'
It's somethin' I never dreamed
And our love has a different meaning
It took so long to reveal but now I know that
All of this time, guess I must have been blind
Not to see you and me we're picture perfect
I'll should be yours, baby you should be mine
We're picture perfect
Forever picture perfect
I showed some friends of mine
My favorite photograph
You know the one of you and me from way back
And when I told them all
That you were not my guy
They couldn't see it, couldn't understand why
Everyone thinks it's so romantic
They say we're two of a kind
And the more that I think about it
The more that I realize what I've been missing
