Ch.1

We join our heroes as they walk towards Chrome Village, their next destination.

"I'm hungry! Can we stop and eat!" Misty whined as she held her stomach.

"Me too," Ash sighed " plus I'm kinda tired."

"All right it's getting late anyway. We can camp here and make it to Chrome Village tomorrow." Brock said as he stretched his tired muscles.

For the first time in about an hour Misty looked up at the sky. The swirls of purple and light pink seemed so romantic. "It's so romantic," she thought, glancing at Ash. "If Brock weren't here everything would be perfect. No, I can't think like that. I like Brock, he's like the brother I never had."

Ash looked at Misty. She looked so beautiful starring at the night sky. "I hate to admit it, but I think I really like her. No, that can't be it she treats me like dirt. I couldn't possibly have a crush on that brat. It must be indigestion." Ash tried hard not to stare but somehow he couldn't release his gaze. Suddenly Misty looked in his direction.

"What!?!" Misty yelled startling Ash.

Ash turned his head, his face beet red. "Nothing, I was seeing if I've ever seen anyone as ugly as you."

"Me ugly?!! I'm better looking than you." Misty countered.

"Sure, you're the prettiest roach in the world!" Ash shot back.

"Not again, guys! Brock exclaimed. But his voice was being overthrown by Misty's.

"…..don't call me ugly, you stupid jerk!" Misty screamed while her trusty mallet appeared in her hand.

"It's not my fault that its tr-"*WHAM* Ash was silenced as he fell to the floor unconscience.

"Pikapi…" Pikachu sighed as he jolted his master back into consciousness.

"Owww… what happened?" Ash asked dazed.

"You insulted Misty." Brock stated pointing to her as she was getting into her sleeping bag. They watched as Togepi waddled over next to her.

"Now I know he thinks I'm ugly. Why can't he like me as I like him? It's not fair!" Misty sighed sadly before drifting off to sleep.

Ash crawled into his own sleeping bag and faced Misty. It was all right if he watched her, she was already asleep. He too fell into a deep sleep, after taking a last glance at Misty.

Brock noticed Ash watching Misty. He had seemed so deep in thought with the small yellow mouse snoring on his stomach. "I wonder if there is more to them than meets the eye?" Brock thought before falling asleep.

A/N: I know this isn't very good, but if you want me to continue tell me. Maybe you can give me ideas on what happens in later chapters! ~Articuno
