PART III, Misty
Ash and I, hand in hand, walked into the Kimono Dance Arena, we gave our names to the entrance guy, he grinned at us as he checked us in (7:20) "Ash and Misty, the Pallet Party Poke Pair." he said. We walked into the party area, my heart was pounding with love so hard it was amazing Ash didn't hear it, the thought of Ash hearing my heart pounding made it pound even harder, ouch, now it was starting to hurt, at last Ash was mine, all mine! When I first met Ash, I never dreamed I'd come to think of him as a friend, much less fall in love with him, yes, I love him.
My mind flashed back to a few minutes ago, I had been wondering what he would think of me in my kimono, it took him a couple tries (3) but he said I look fabulous, then he TOOK MY HAND. "Uh oh" Ash's voice snapped my mind back to the present, we were still holding hands, but Ash was looking directly ahead "It's Allison, and it looks like she's looking for me." I wrapped my arms around Ash's arm and pulled him away, but a voice called out "Check out our little lovebirds!!" I looked over and saw a kimono clad woman showing off a couple of little green birds called Lovebirds. "Oh, THOSE lovebirds." I thought sheepishly, then I blushed at the idea of Ash and me being lovebirds. "Ash, Misty!" came Throttle's voice "You two make the cutest pair of lovebirds!" We headed over to where Throttle, Tracey, Jeanette, and Ash's mom were standing, Mrs. Ketchum was wearing a white kimono with a gold-colored obi, Throttle was clad in a dark blue kimono with a red obi, Tracey had on an orange kimono with a light blue obi, and Jeannette had donned a red kimono with a black obi. "You two look great together." Mrs. Ketchum said fondly, then she looked down at our hands and her smile broadened. "Woa-oa-OA!" said Throttle, noticing that our hands were connected. "Hey guys, where's Brock?" Ash wanted to know, just then Brock came over, wearing not only a brown kimono with an orange obi, but also a hand print on his face. "Courtney didn't want to dance." Brock said by way of explanation. "Brock, how can you want to go with Courtney?" I wanted to know, "She's friends with Allison, and she won't leave Ash alone, she doesn't even actually care about him." "Not in the way you do, you mean?" Throttle teased, I was about to clobber him, but I was too happy being with Ash, besides, Brock answered my question "Because Allison wouldn't go with me, she said she was going with Ash" "Well she's not, I am," I retorted "And why would you want to go with Allison? She is always flirting with him, she doesn't even care about him, she only wants him because he's handsome!" from the grin Throttle gave us, I assumed Ash was blushing.
"No one else would go with me" Brock said, still not getting the point "Jeanette, it's not too late, you can dance with me." Jeanette gripped Throttle's arm and didn't reply, but Throttle did "I think Jeanette wants to stay with me." Throttle said, Brock sighed and sat down "Umm, Ash? I really like this song" I said pointedly, hoping even Ash wasn't dense enough not to understand what I was getting at, he smiled, held his hand out to me and said "Misty, may I have this dance?" I took his hand and said "You most certainly may" "Have fun, kids!" Mrs. Ketchum called after us as we headed out to the arena.
Once we were out there, Ash said "Umm, Misty? I don't know how to do this kind of dance" I smiled "Follow my lead" I said, I took his arm and wrapped it around my waist, causing my heart to pound even harder than ever, I put my hand on his shoulder and my other hand wrapped around the fingers of his other hand, with our bodies as close as they were, I could feel his heart thudding against mine, it was the most passionate moment of my life, at that moment, I loved Ash Ketchum like I had never loved him before, as we danced, I wished we could stay like that forever, I never wanted to let go of him. As we danced, I could see Allison in the crowd, her usual smug was gone, replaced by a look of outmost fury and jealousy, for once, another girl wanted Ash and I didn't have to be jealous.
