PART II, Narrative by Ash
I couldn't believe what had just happened, my friend Throttle had just told me that I was taking Misty to the Kimono Dance tonight, although the idea appealed-uh, I mean, although Misty's really nice, I'm not interested in her that way, and I am NOT blushing! Okay, maybe just a little, I like Misty a lot, but as a friend, she's like a sister to me, I do NOT have a crush on her!
Writer's note: Ash is lying and he knows it!
BONK! I stumbled back and clutched my head, I had been distracted by the idiotic ramblings of the writer and a tree just, came out of nowhere, okay I wasn't looking where I was going. Up ahead, I could see my house. I wasn't ready to face my mom yet and what she was sure to say when she found out that Throttle had registered Misty & me for the dance, I've been told that I look good in green, I dunno, but Misty looks drop-dead gorgeous in pink, especially with her hair down, shoot! Misty compliments me once and I lose it. "Hey sweetie pie!" came a voice "Oh no" I said, it was Allison, she's had a crush on me since we were both 7, she's never been the modest type, I don't like her at all, but I'm nice just to be polite, pretending that I hadn't heard her, I ran off in the direction I went in when I started my Pokemon journey. As I ran through the woods, a quiet nagging thought told me that this wasn't a good ide-AAAAAAHHHHH!!! SPLASH! I've got to start listening to those quiet nagging thoughts, as I climbed out of the river, barely dodging a Gyarados, I recognized the area as the place I first met Misty, ahh the memories. Heading back home, I dodged Courtney who was trying to get my attention, something about how Allison wanted to go to the Kimono Dance with me, yeah right, how about when Brock stops being interested in girls.
As I entered my house, I noticed my mom standing there with her hands on her hips, my first thought was "Uh oh, I did something wrong." but Mom smiled at me and said "What's this I hear you're taking Misty to the Kimono Dance tonight?" I glanced over and saw Misty deeply engrossed in her lemonade, Throttle was sucking his glass onto his face, something he's very good at. Apparently, Throttle had told Mom so that I couldn't chicken out, noticing me, Throttle said "You're taking Misty to the dance whether you like it or not." "I always knew you two would make a good couple." Mom said to me, my face felt like Charizard's tail flame. Mom smiled widely and said "Throttle told me about this to make sure you didn't chicken out,"
What did I tell you? "I already picked up your kimonos, they're ready for you to put on at 7:00" "OK" I said, well, there was no way out, I was going to the dance with Misty, ah well, better than going to the dance with Allison, after all, Misty is my friend, I trust her.
Also drinking lemonade were Pikachu, my first Pokemon, and Togepi, who thinks Misty is it's mother.
"Kachu, Pika Pi" said Pikachu, Pikachu is not only my first Pokemon and second strongest tranee, it's also my best friend, since we're so close, I knew what it was saying was "You two will go great together, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" "Oh shut up Pikachu" I said tiredly, but it grinned and responded "Pi, Chu, Pika!" (You LIKE her and you know it!)
"Togi prrrriiiiiiii!!" added Togepi, I don't know what it said, but it caused Pikachu to burst out laughing "Pika Pika Chu!"
Writer's note: What Togepi said was "Is Mommy going on a honeymoon with Daddy?" Pikachu would have responded "Yeah, and you're staying with Uncle Pikachu" but it was laughing too hard.
"Pika Pika Pikachu!" Pikachu! Get away from the keyboard!

It was 7:00 before I knew it, I ditched my street clothes, even my gloves and beloved Pokemon League Official Hat which is, next to my Pokedex, my most valued possession. I put the kimono on, although since it ties in the back I had trouble, but I managed, I checked the mirror, darn it, I do look good in a kimono, and green is really a good color for me, I hope Misty thinks so, I mean, I mean, oh, forget it!
I headed downstairs, as much as I wanted to delay this, I couldn't, although I was nervous about my "date" I didn't want her hurt Misty's feelings, it took us so long to become actual friends, and sometimes our friendship is balanced on the head of a pin. We have had no fights as of late, but still, Misty's temper has a hair trigger, and I'm very stubborn, I entered the kitchen, Mom was wearing a white kimono with a gold colored obi, whoa, is that Mom? "My goodness, Ash, you look very handsome in that kimono." I grinned sheepishly, what guy isn't embarrassed by his mother telling him he looks handsome right before his first date? "Looking sharp Ash!" Throttle said "Misty will love it!" he was wearing a dark blue kimono with a red obi, "That for Jeanette?" I asked teasingly, Throttle grinned, although he was blushing "Jeanette likes me, but more like in a friendship way, she just didn't wanna go out with Brock, poor Brock, oh yeah, I've arranged for you to meet Misty on Passion Park Hill." "The Romance Place?" I asked, my face turning slightly red, it was getting awfully warm all of a sudden, anyway, Throttle said "Yeah, you two should talk about this, and we'll meet you at the dance." Throttle and my mom headed for the dance to meet up with Jeanette, Brock, & Tracey. Professor Oak wasn't coming, he was busy at the lab, although Throttle had most likely told him about my "date" with Misty.
Minutes later, I walked into Passion Park, a place where lovers have been known to meet, my "love" for Misty is the love I would have for a sister if I had one, but if I had a sister, she'd probably bug me to date Misty as well, and what would her name be? Ashley?
"Hi Ash" Misty's voice broke into my thoughts "You, umm, look good" Misty looked fabulous in her pink kimono, pink really is her color, hmm and she does look better with her hair down than up, of course she looks good anyway, uh, I mean, where was I? Oh yeah, Misty, she looked good.
"Hi Foggy, you gook lood notight" I said,
Writers Note: No, none of that is a typo, those were Ash's exact words, romance makes poets of us all, he-he
"Whaaat?" Misty demanded, "I said "Hi Foggy, you gook lood notight"" I replied "Thanks for clearing that up" Misty said, her nice voice reeked of sarcasm, so I continued, saying "I meant to say "Hi Murky, you kool dook thognit" Dang it, I had done it again "I mean, Hi, Misty, you, look, good, to, night" There, I finally said it right "Took you 3 tries to do it" Misty said grumpily "Sorry!" I said, quite offended "This is my first time, gimmie a break!" "I'll break your face!" Misty said, her lovely face contorted with fury as she stepped forward with her fist up, a Misty Fisty? I opened my mouth to retort when I suddenly noticed how good-looking Misty is, Okay I had known all along, I had just been hiding it, her eyes were a lovely blue, her hair is the finest tint of red I've ever seen, and her personality is even more beautiful than her face, she was strong physically, she was strong willed, and she was very sharp, and despite her strength, she is also very kind and caring. Misty is fierce when angry, but gentle when concerned, I should know, she's been worried about me a lot since a get into a lot of danger, Throttle tells me that one of these days, and I quote "You're gonna give that poor girl a heart attack" Misty was always super-nice to me when I was sick or injured, like that flu I recently came down with, Misty never left my side except to go to the little girl's room. Misty and I are as close as brother and sister, we are the closest of friends, and we were fighting?
Okay, I won't deny it any longer, I like Misty, not just as a friend, but as in Like, she is very special, in fact, I'll admit it, she's the only girl I ever had feelings for, you know what I mean, it's that thing where you Like someone, but bigger? Okay, I'll say it, I was in love, for some odd reason, these thoughts caused me to burst out laughing, we're friends, the thought of us fighting was ridiculous, I continued laughing at the ridiculous idea that Misty and I weren't suited to be friends. Misty stared at me like I'd lost my mind, then lowered her fist and demanded to know what in the Sam Hill was so funny. Smiling, I walked over to her "Sorry," I said "You're my friend, I shouldn't be getting mad at you" Misty looked surprised, then ashamed "I'm sorry Ash, I was just tense, wondering what you'd think when you saw me" I took her hand and said "Misty, you look fabulous, honestly, now come on girl, let's go to the dance"
Misty stared at me for a moment, then looked down at where my fingers were wrapped around hers, up at my face, then down at our hands, her fingers tightened around mine, and when she looked up, her face was the brightest shade of red I've ever seen, "Okay!" She said "Come on Ash, let's dance!" hand in hand, we walked off to the dance. My heart was thudding passionately.
I couldn't believe what had just happened, my friend Throttle had just told me that I was taking Misty to the Kimono Dance tonight, although the idea appealed-uh, I mean, although Misty's really nice, I'm not interested in her that way, and I am NOT blushing! Okay, maybe just a little, I like Misty a lot, but as a friend, she's like a sister to me, I do NOT have a crush on her!
