Chance (for love)

Epilogue:  Recap on the trip to Marry Peak

Ash laid down on the comfy seats of the train while listening to his CD player.  Misty looked outside admiring the view and scenery.  Everything passed so quickly but the mountains looked very beautiful, with all the different shades from the sun and the clouds surrounding it.  She turned back towards Ash and smiled, there he was just nodding his head to the music with his eyes starring up at the ceiling.

Misty:  Hey Ash!

Ash turned to his side and saw Misty calling him.  He removed his headphones and sat up.

Ash:  What's up?

Misty:  What did you give that guy back at the train station anyway?

Ash:  "Another Chance."

Ash placed his headphones back on and started to listen again.  Misty got irritated and sat next to him so he had to pay attention to her.

Misty:  What do you mean "another chance?"  That doesn't make sense.

Ash:  But that's what I gave him, "another chance."

Misty:  Another chance at what?

Ash:  I dunno, its up to him how he wants to use it.

Misty pulled the earphones off Ash and got right up close to his face.  She knew Ash was just playing around with her trying to annoy her but not telling her anything.

Misty:  Come'on, out with it.

Ash:  What's in it for me?

Misty:  What do you want?

Ash thought for a moment but then grinned right at Misty.  By the way he grinned Misty knew what he was thinking.  She sighed but smiled at him.

Misty:  Again?  But we just did when I gave you that ring.

Ash:  Come'on, we're going to Marry Peaks to . . .

Misty:  Okay you win but you tell me the whole story with this Chance thing.

Ash sat up, he knew his little annoying game with Misty would score him something for later.  He turned off his CD player and sat up and looked towards Misty.  He touched her hands and held them up.

Ash:  Promise me you won't tell anyone cause its pretty weird and I don't want anyone thinking I'm crazy.

Misty:  Okay but be truthful now.

Ash took a deep breath and thought of where to begin explaining this whole mess.

Ash:  I guess it all started when you said you had to go back to Cerulean City but then you'll be moving to another continent some place where I couldn't reach you or follow you.  I then felt regret that I didn't something I've always wanted to do with you.  But that night I still held back everything and didn't do anything for you before you left.  Then when I woke up the next morning you had already left and the note you left me felt like an arrow piercing through my heart.  Though I knew I couldn't make it in time I ran to the train station as fast as I could but just as I thought, it was too late.  While I ran I was thinking of some occasions where we could have gotten very intimate with each other.

Misty:  Like that night after the wedding reception we attended?

Ash:  Exactly!  It was around that time where I had to restrain myself because of your feminine beauty.

Misty blushed.  She laughed a bit and got right in front of Ash's face again.

Misty:  Am I that beautiful?

Ash paused for a moment and looked away.  He blushed but replied.

Ash:  Yeah you are.  Anyway I'm telling you the story here.

Misty:  Okay I just wanted to hear that.

Ash:  I said it to you like around fifty times when we were . . .

Misty:  Go on with the story!

Ash:  Alright, alright, well I just missed the train so I felt pretty bad.  I was going to tell you how I felt and everything and also given you this locket.

Ash touched the locket that was dangling around Misty's neck.  Misty blushed, Ash realized where he was touching and removed his hand.

Ash:  Opps sorry.

Misty:  Its not like you haven't . . .

Ash:  So anyway!  There was this old guy that was there.  He knew I just missed my chance to tell you everything.  He said he seen a lot of my type of people and so on.  We just talked a little, just talking about missing a chance and such.  Thinking I'd probably never see you again I gave him the locket for his troubles.

Misty:  You actually planned on just giving away this locket?  Ash!

Ash:  Hey I thought you were gone forever.

Misty:  Okay, I forgive you.  So go on . . .

Ash:  Well he gave it back to me cause he said he had no use for it.  And then he gave me this weird yellow stone thing saying that it was giving me another chance.  Confused I just walked around aimlessly till night where I went back to my room and just recalled some wonderful memories of you.  I also looked at the locket again and remembered that yellow stone, the next thing I know I'm asleep.

Misty:  That's probably when you went into your coma.

Ash:  Yup.  But in my dreams I woke up in bed and there you were making me breakfast.  I was brought back seven days in time to relive those days and probably get my second chance to tell you how I feel.

Misty:  I see, its one of those type of dreams.  But why seven days?

Ash:  Before I slipped into my coma I actually said to myself I probably needed one week to focus and prepare myself to tell you how I felt.  But in the end in my dream I didn't need that many days.  Or that's what it was trying to tell me.

Misty:  That you only needed a few days?

Ash:  Well yeah cause at one moment I was on the beach and then the next moment we were about to go club'n for the evening.  Two days had passed and without a single thought of what happened.

Misty:  Do you often forget what you dream of?  Like when you wake up or during a dream it switches around and you forget what happened previously.

Ash:  Yeah some sorta strange transition.

Misty:  That is what could have happened.  You probably did live those days but since it was unimportant you must've just forgotten them and just remembered that evening.

Ash:  I see your point.  To sum it up the first day was spent confused trying to figure out why I was reliving the same day over.  When I found out it was all but a dream I realize it is possible to relive the same day in a dream cause you have the memory of it.  During half the day I found out my whole cause thanks to an Officer Jenny and I take you on a date for the afternoon and evening.

Misty:  How sweet.

Ash:  We watched a movie together and had dinner.  Remember that book of yours where the two main characters finally met up at the end?

Misty:  Yeah?  Was that the movie you saw in your dream?

Ash:  We saw, the movie we saw together.  Yeah and I was commenting how good the movie was cause it was identical to the book, which made sense cause it was all dream.  The next day was spent shopping with you; I enjoyed the many outfits you were posing for me.

Misty:  Now where would you get the memory for that?

Ash:  Hey, I don't sleep all the time whenever you take me shopping.  So later that afternoon we went to the beach then that's when it happened, that's when time jumped ahead.

Misty:  Did something happen to you before time jumped?

Ash:  Just hearing some strange noise and feeling my hand be touched.

Misty:  I think that's cause I was trying to wake you up and I also held your hand crying by the side of your bed.

Ash:  Ah I see, that makes sense.  But what about that beeping sound?

Misty:  The annoying machine next to you.

Ash:  Oh.  So after time jumped I realized that maybe I was running out of time so when we went club'n I danced with ya like I wanted to tell you something.  Then my favorite song came up and it was a great remix.

Misty:  Eyes on me?

Ash:  Yup, the techno version.  I only heard it on the radio once but I guess it was enough for me to remember the entire song since it was my favorite.  So we danced and had a great time till we had to go back to the Pokemon Center.

Misty:  Sweet.  Its amazing what type of dreams you can have with the right type of memories.

Ash:  Yeah.  But something was up with the weather, it started to rain very hard and we could only find shelter at the hospital.

Misty:  Now there's a strange twist.  Think it has anything to do with reality?

Ash:  Could be.  Or just some symbolism crap.  And well that's where I told you how I felt and gave you the locket.

Misty:  You make it sound so dull, where's the details?

Ash:  Do I have to?  Well ofcourse I do, alright alright well . . . um . . . I said I lied to you after that evening at the wedding reception that I actually did have feelings for you and so on.

Misty:  Ash!  Be more descriptive!

Ash:  Hey this is hard for me.  So anyway I said I earned up some money and bought you something which was the locket.  Nothing fancy but it represents how I feel.  Then you kissed me.

Misty:  Kissed you?  Like how?

Ash:  What do you mean how?

Misty:  Was it a polite kiss or a romantic kiss or an intimately seductive kiss or . . .

Ash:  I dunno, you just leapt at me and kissed me right on the lips for a very long time till I woke up.

Misty:  Ah, like sleeping beauty except the roles are reversed.

Ash:  Yup.  And that sums up my dream.

Misty:  I see, well that must've been some realistic dream.  Now what about that yellow stone?  You gave it to someone.

Ash:  Yeah.  I'm not sure if it has any supernatural powers but I didn't need it anymore now that you're here with me and we're heading to Marry Peak.

Misty:  You know what that stone sounds like to me?

Ash:  What?

Misty:  A Chrono Trigger.  The golden time egg.

Ash:  Hmm . . . I dunno, whatevers.  I really don't care what it is cause everything worked out in the end.  So now that I explained everything, you . . . "owe" me something.

Misty:  Couldn't I just give it to you on the honeymoon?

Ash:  But, we're already gonna do that on the honeymoon so that defeats the purpose of getting some reward for telling you the entire ordeal of this Chance for love story.

Misty:  Well its not like I don't want to but . . . Ash use your head!  We're on a train!  This isn't exactly a place to . . .

Ash:  The doors have locks and the windows have shutters you know.

Misty: . . . hmmmmmmmm . . .

Misty then smiled at Ash, a sorta suggestive seductive smile.  She moved closer to Ash and whispered into his ear.

Misty:  Come and get your reward then.

Author's Note:  This epilogue had three purposes, 1)  Recap the story and be more detailed in plot line explanation.  2)  Reveal what was going to happen next in the story.  3)  Hint at what happened after Ash received Misty's present for him

Anyway if anyone wants I'll write the lemon for this fic
