Living in a Fairy Tale
~ Part 5 'RESCUE HER YOU MORON!' ~
(Such an appropriate title, don't you think?)
Today was the dreaded day. The dreaded day that Misty would be forced to marry the jerk, Gary. The day Misty's life would be totally ruined.
~ 1 hour to go ~
Brock walked sadly down the hall. This country was doomed if it fell into the clutches of Gary. Brock sighed again as he looked at Misty. She was in the dressing room looking as beautiful as ever. She was in her wedding dress. Violet and Daisy were fixing it up a bit giving it some final touches. Misty was just standing there with a vacant look in her eyes and on her face showing no acknowledgement to the world around her.
Brock had finally gotten her up and gotten her to eat. Well, at least she ate a little.
Her body was frail and pale. (OoO! I rhymed!) Her eyes seemed to have lost all sparkle and color to them.
Brock looked on her in sympathy. He trudged down the gloomy hallway. Everyone was feeling the gloominess. The king even seemed unhappy, just to see his daughter in such a state. Brock realized that everyone loved the cheerful Misty, and if she was happy, they were happy, if she was gloomy, they were gloomy.
ON his way down the hall, he was stopped by two people who were looking around suspiciously. "Brock, we wish to speak to you," One stated.
"Look I – "
"It's about Ash and Misty." The other said.
Brock stopped and immediately followed the two into an enclosed area. They two turned and looked sadly at Brock. "We were paid to say something completely untrue." The first said.
"Someone paid us to tell Ash, or at least talk to each other while Ash was listening."
"And say that Misty was cheating on him and that she planned to kill him the day before the wedding."
"Why'd you say that?!" Brock cried.
"We were forced to."
"Other wise we'd lose out jobs he said."
"Who said?"
The two paused for a moment and debated on whether or not to tell Brock. They both nodded to each other and whispered into Brock's ears. Brock's eyes went wide and he ran outside into the village. He had to find Ash!
~ At the village ~
~ Fifteen minutes left ~
"Ash you have to stop moping around!" James cried. He glanced at Jessie who was raging made. James had gotten Jessie to agree to let him try and reason with Ash before she beat him. "Ash, just listen to me! Misty doesn't want to marry Gary! She hates him! You of all people should know that!"
"Humph."
James sighed reluctantly letting Jessie take over.
Jessie stomped madly over to Ash and took him by the face. "Listen up Ash! I'm sick of your attitude! Misty loves you! Because you left her, she almost starved herself!" Jessie cried desperately holding the paper in his face. Ash showed a look of concern and feeling for a moment on his face, then it went hard once again. "She's a faker, probably trying to get me to come back – "
*SLAP*
Ash held his red cheek stunned. He gazed and Jessie. James and Meowth were even surprised at what Jessie did but said nothing. They both knew that this maybe what it takes to get Ash to snap out of it and go tell Misty.
"Listen up twerp! I'm so sick of you self pity party! Get a grip on yourself! You love Misty and she loves you! Do you have any proof as to what those cooks said were true? DO YOU?!"
"No…"
"So how do you know it was true?"
"I, I don't know."
"Exactly! Read my lips Ash! Misty. Loves. You!"
"She right Ash."
Ash looked up to see Brock standing there petting his Ninetales.
"The two cooks told me what happened."
Brock quickly explained what the cooks told him.
"Ash, you HAVE to go rescue her!" Brock tried exasperated.
Ash got up, but still wasn't too sure of himself. He walked slowly to where his pokemon were. Jessie's face got red with impatience. Jessie had had enough.
"ASH!" She yelled shaking him hard. "GO ON AND RESCIE HER YOU MORON!"
Ash, scared by Jessie, and fearful for Misty, called out his Pigeot and flew to the wedding.
~ The wedding ~
~ Misty's POV ~
I don't know what's happening, all I know is that my life is falling apart right before my eyes. Actually, my life fell apart when Ash left me.
Oh goodness!
Ash!
Why'd you leave?
What possessed you to think that I actually want to marry Gary? (Wow! I rhymed again!)
I sighed. The preacher kept going on. I ignored him after 'if anyone doesn't approve of this marriage now, speak now or forever hold your peace.' I half expected Ash to come strolling in saying he objects and that this is just all one bad misunderstanding! I wished he would come in here and punch Gary, take me in his strong arms and kiss me.
But since when was I such a sap?
Since I met Ash! That's what! And since I feel in love.
But, this isn't like me. I never give up without a fight!
I took one look at Gary's smirking face and decided I wasn't going down without a fight. I cleared my throat. Everyone looked at me.
"I object." I said firmly.
"Shut-up!" Gary growled. I shook my head ignoring him.
"I don't love him, and I never will. I just don't want to marry him. I- I love someone else. And I just can't marry Gary."
"You can't be serious!" Gary growled in my ear. He covered my mouth with his hand and whispered in my ear. "If you don't cooperate, you might as well say good-bye to your sister." He grinned motioning his head to Lily. My eyes widened. She was being held by one of Gary's guards! I gave Gary one of those 'if looks could kill, you'd be dead' looks.
"You won't get away with this." I frowned.
"Oh but I already have!"
He motioned for the priest to get going.
I said nothing when it came to the 'I do' thing, but Gary made a voice that made it sound like I did. I glared at the boy, but smiled inwardly. We're not legally married! I never said 'I do'! I could break this thing off whenever I wanted to! And trust me, as soon as Lily's free, I'm breaking this dumb marriage off fast! Daddy will listen to me, I'm not too sure about mother, but I know daddy will! And Brock and Violet!
But if Gary thought he was king, what's he going to do?
Suddenly, I was frightened. Very frightened,
~ Normal POV ~
Ash's heart sank when he walked into the empty church.
They must be at the banquet. He thought to himself.
Sure enough, there was a pile of people in the ballroom.
"We're is Princess Misty?" He asked Violet.
"Oh, she and Gary went into another room." She said pointing to a separate room.
Ash ran into the room Violet pointed to. He burst into the room to find…
MWHAAA! I'm going to leave you there for the rest of the week! I'm not going to be back from camp until the last Sunday night. LIVE WITH IT! HA HA HA HA! But, like I said before, if you want me to continue, you'd better review!
