Meanwhile, the two pokemon trainers (Well, I should say 1 pokemon trainer n 1 pokemon master…..or should I?) flew off on the back of the great water beast, Lugia gaining height rapidly. Misty (Having not ridden on any flying pokemon before)was getting scared, and clutched onto Ash, who was sitting in front of her. He was shocked by the action of the red-haired girl seated behind him.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Ash asked.

"No, I just don't like going so fast."

"Don't worry, It'll slow down in a moment." He reassured her. Ash liked the feeling of her slender arms wrapped around him, and wanted the moment to last forever.

"Everybody's looking for that something…….one thing that makes it all complete.. You'll find it in the strangest places……"

Ash felt the warmth of her wrapped unintentionally around him, and started to think about the first time they met.

"Places you never knew it could be….."

(the next bit aint important so imagine its playing in the background)

Lugia hit the clouds, gliding through them. It was like a dream, some place not far from heaven, on top of the world looking across the banks of fluffy clouds reflecting on the light blue early evening sky. (please note: Pikachu is still holding onto the tail for dear life.)

"Who can deny the joy it brings, when you've found that special thing, you're flying without wings."

Then, after the short pause to admire the view, the legendary pokemon decided to do a little trick before it retreated down. Lugia began to loop.

"Hold on."said Ash.

Misty latched onto him tightly as they looped. It seemed to slow down time: both felt the weightlessness of going upside-down, almost falling off: then pulling tightly back into the normal way up.

The Pokemon started to tilt down slightly, flying much slower than it did before, skimming the milky white cloudbank. Ash turned as much as he possibly could in the astride position he was currently in to look at the girl he'd been travelling with for the past 4 years.

"You'll find it in the deepest friendships; the girl you cherished all your life……. And when you know how much that means, you've found that special thing, you're flying without wings…"

She had gained back her confidence, and now had her arms outsretched as if she was flying. To Ash she was the most beautiful girl in existance; the wind played with her orange hair as she gazed across the clouds and down onto the minature-looking world below, a peaceful smile on her face. She noticed him glance at her and giggled: she looked like the girl off the titanic on the front of the boat. Ash smiled. Once she had stopped giggling Misty looked up into Ashs' ebony black eyes. They both held each others' gaze,

"So impossible…..'cause they may think you've got to fight for every dream, Cause you don't know which one you let go could've made you complete….Well, for me it's waking up beside you, to watch the sun rise on your face,"

only for a second though, and then both looked away, blushing at exactly the same time. Their stubborness and fear of telling or letting on their feelings would'nt lrt them hold it for any longer.

"It's little things that only I know, Those are the things that make you mine……. And It's like flying without wings, 'coz you're my special thing, I'm flying without wings.."

Lugia flowed through the array of clouds once again, and began to glide down to four mini islands, one main one and three tiny others crested around it. The sea blue-green sea glistened around them, and the sun shone off the ocean making it even more dazzling than it was before. ~It's beautiful~ Ash thought, ~Now I see what Misty means~

"And You're the place my life begins, and you'll be wher it ends, I'm flying without wings, And that's the Joy you bring, I'm Flying Without Wings……………."

They were now coming into land, Lugia slowly coming to a stop. A slightly dazed and airsick Pikachu wobbled out of sight as Ash and Misty got off the Water beast.
