**The New Girl in Town**
**Chapter 1—Meet Misty**
Author's Note: It's about time I write a new story. All I've been doing is writing "All's Fair In Love and Rivalry". This story I'm writing now is an AAMRN…something we all know, love, and praise—LOL. Anyway in the story they are all older…as usual. Ash, Misty, and I think I'll put Gary in here too; Kelly, Scott (My characters) are all 14 and in middle school in the eighth grade. (They're mostly that age in all of my fics, but—hey that's my call here so I can make them whatever I want.) The teens from Pallet don't know Misty yet, why did I put Meet Misty up there? But here it is and enjoy as always. Love, Leah.

"Hey! Ash, lemme see your new tongue ring!" Scott announced all over school ground.
"Yeah, let me see, is it a ring or can you flip it under and do phat tricks with it?" Kelly added and jumped into Scott; her long, crimped purple hair blew through the cool, late-spring breeze. (We all know anime cartoons have all different hair colors of the rainbow.)
"Ssss, no one knows yet! I tan't tak wit dis ting in mah mout, it hoits too!"
"Whoa man…what'd your mom say when u got it?" Kelly asked and the green-haired fellow, Scott nodded.
"YOU DON'T WAHNNA KNOW. I TINK I DIED TICE." Ash spat out of his mouth as hard as he tried.
His friends just rolled their eyes, shrugged and continued through the main doors of McKenzie Junior High. The trio observed the cliques that surrounded the hallways of all three floors on their way to the eighth grade homeroom they occupied every morning for a half an hour. They had their own clique, but the smallest; population density: three.
"Good morning, class," Ms. Shields, the fastidious teacher exclaimed. "I'll be taking attendance in a few moments, but first I have someone to introduce to you all. This is Misty Williams, from Cerulean City. She will be staying in this school for the rest of third semester, which has just started so I'll assure you, class, that you will have time to be of her acquaintance." Ms. Shields smiled softly to her homeroom as Misty walked over to take a seat in back of Kelly.
Kelly, turned around to get the conversation started, "Hi, I'm Kelly, nice to meet you. This is Ash, and Scott—" Kelly looked over with a nice, juicy sweatdrop on her head, and her face faulted.
"Dude that thing kicks major ass!" Scott said excitedly, touching Ash's tongue. He looked over and blushed, "Eh, ah, sorry! Hi, I'm Scott…he's um…got a nice tongue…"
"Die! I'm Ass—" Ash tried to pronounce every word carefully, but he failed to do so, and made Misty's expression upside-down.
"What?!?" Misty asked.
"HE MEANS HI…I'M ASH…eh heh heh, you have to understand he just got a new tongue ring and is struggling MAJORLY," Kelly snapped her head to Ash. "to try to communicate. Maybe you should just stick with me for the rest of the day…" The two girls chuckled, when Misty began to speak also.
"Hey, it's all right. Most of the people at my old school were piercing themselves. I want to too, but my sisters are 'valley girls' and don't exactly think that stuff is cool."
They all smiled and laughed. Ash, Scott, and Kelly had a feeling their clique wasn't going to have a population of three anymore; it had become four. The trio was now a quartet.
Bells were ringing, and thus was time to go to period one. Ash had a bright, wonderful vibe about Misty. Misty seemed to be transfixed on Ash the whole day, as did Ash on her. It was a start of a blooming relationship and friendship to the group of friends—they felt a bit unpopular, but that never let them down, they had each other and that was all that mattered. Especially to Ash and Misty.

If I Am
By: Nine Days
So you're standing on a ledge,
It looks like you might fall.
So far down,
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping.
Now you could have it all,
If you learned a little patience!
For though I cannot fly,
I'm not content to crawl!...
So give me a little credit,
Have in me a little faith!
I want to be with you forever,
If tomorrow's not too late!...
But it's always too late when you've got nothing
So you say!...
But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow,
Before the sun rises today...
IF I AM!
Another waste of everything you dreamed of,
I will let you down...
IF I AM!
Only here to watch as you suffer,
I will let you down...
So you're walking on the edge,
And you wait your turn to fall.
But you're so far gone,
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you.
And you could find the fault,
In the heart that you've been handed!
For though you cannot fly,
You're not content to crawl!...
But it's always too late when you've got nothing
So you say!...
But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow,
Before the sun rises today...
IF I AM!
Another waste of everything you dreamed of,
I will let you down...
IF I AM!
Only here to as watch you suffer,
I will let you down...
So you're standing on a ledge,
It looks like you might fall...
IF I AM!
Another waste of everything you dreamed of,
I will let you down...
IF I AM!
Only here to as watch you suffer,
I will let you down...
The answers we find,
Are never what we had in mind.
So we make it up as we go along...
I won't mention tomorrow.
And we won't make those promises that we can't keep...
I will never leave you!
I will never let you down!
I will never leave you!
I will never let you down!
