"Ash? Ash it's me Misty. Can you hear me?" Am I dreaming, do I really hear Misty? His eyes
fluttered open, taking in his surroundings. His heart nearly burst with joy seeing his friends all
looking unhurt. "Misty? Is everyone alright? Where's Brock?" "Right here Ash, good to see
you awake. Everyone's fine, your pokemon were all unhurt and so were we." "PIKA PI!!!"
Pikachu leapt from Brocks' arms onto his trainer's stomach. "Ouch!!! Pikachu! I'm glad to see
you too, but that hurts." Misty quickly snatched Pikachu off Ash and set him to the side.
"Thanks Mist." Ash said and managed a weak smile and began to stroke Pikachu. "Ash that
was a brave thing to do. Risking yourself to save us like that." "No problem Brock, anything for
my best friends." "Oh Ash before I forget, your mother is arriving at the airport and I'm going
with some guy from the hospital to pick her up." "It'll be good to show her I'm okay. What
about Misty? She's not going?" "I could hardly tear her away for you last night, I think she'd
much rather stay here." Brock grinned a little at his comment, then left to go get Mrs. Ketchum.
Ash looked over at Misty, she was blushing slightly. "Something wrong Misty?" "Ash, I have to
know why you saved me. I mean, I'm not even nice to you a lot of the time." Her face dropped
as she thought of how uncaring she usually acted toward him. "Why wouldn't I? Next to
Pikachu, you're my best friend. I wouldn't forgive myself if I let something happen to you."
Tears of happiness filled her eyes. "Oh, Ash! Do you really mean it?" "Every word." Misty
almost threw herself on him, but stopped, remembering his wounds. They stared into each
others' loving eyes. Pikachu, sensing what might happen, quietly left the room. "Ash?" "Yes
Mist?" She hesitated, but remembered her promise to herself. "Ash, I though I'd lose you. And
I nearly did. I'm glad you didn't die or I'd never be able to tell you something very important."
Ash's heart was beating hard, was she going to say what he'd been hoping for?
Misty gathered all her courage, and prepared herself for what she was going to say. "Ash
I never followed you because of the stupid bike, I-I just needed a friend. But as I traveled with
you... got to know you . . . " She hesitated again. Ash's heart was go through his chest it was
beating so hard. Misty looked at Ash. His eyes were shining, eager for her to continue.
"Ash...I...I.... I love you." There, she had said the hardest sentence she'd ever said. "Whooo
hooo!!!" Ash yelled, getting the attention of a nurse who was passing by. When she saw all was
well, kept walking. Blushing from embarrassment, Ash lowered his voice. "Misty, you have no
idea how much I've wanted you to say that." They both grinned a wide smile and turned a shade
of red. Misty could no longer hold back the urge to hug him, and threw herself on him. "Ahhh!
Misty, that hurts!" "Well what doesn't hurt?" Ash thought for a minute, then a devilish smile
crept onto his face. What is he thinking about? I've never seen that smile before. "Well, it
doesn't hurt here." He pointed to a spot on his cheek where there was only a few scratches.
Misty got the same smile as Ash. She knew what he meant, but she decided to play with him a
little. "Well Ash, if that's it, I won't be able to hug you, will I?" Ash's grin grew wider. "Nope"
"Guess there's only one thing to do." Misty blushed deeply, then gave Ash a kiss on the cheek.
They both turned very red. There was an awkward silence. "Come to think of it I don't hurt
here either." Ash smiled and pointed to his lips. Misty giggled, she hadn't expected Ash to be
like this. She leaned closer to him, he propped himself as high as he could on his pillows. Their
lips met, it was like magic. A surge of emotion flowed through them. It was beyond words for
what the two felt. Ash put his one good hand to her neck and pushed her closer. She wrapped
her arms around him the best she could, wishing the casts and equipment weren't there. They
broke the kiss, only because they needed air. They both just sat there, not knowing what to say.
"Wow." Was all Ash could mutter. Gee, that sounded stupid Misty kisses you and all you can
say is 'wow'. Misty giggled again, and turned an unbelievable new shade of red. "I'll take that
as a compliment." They gazed into each others' eyes, getting lost within each other. "Want to do
that again?" "Yes" They leaned in for another kiss.
"Ash!! My baby!! You're alive!!" Mrs. Ketchum burst through the doors, stopping the
kiss before it started. "Yeah, mom. I'm fine." He winked at Misty, making her smile ear to ear.
Mrs. Ketchum didn't notice, and continued talking about how brave he was, never to scare her
like that again, and how everyone in Pallet Town wished him well. "Mrs. Ketchum? I need to
talk to you about your sons' condition and payment." "Of course, mommy will be back in a
minute Ash!" Brock walked in with Pikachu as she left. "So how ya doing Ash? Any better?"
Ash sighed. "I'm feeling great right now" Brock raised a curious eyebrow at Misty who smiled,
blushed, and looked at the floor. He looked over to Ash who was doing the same thing. "Oh I
see what happened here" he said with a sly smile. "Pikaaa, pika pi pikachu" Then a thought
struck Brock... "Ash got a girlfriend before me!! No!" Ash, Misty, and Pikachu burst out
laughing. "Are you jealous of him?" "Well, I don't blame him if he is. I am pretty lucky to have
you, Mist" "Oh, Ash you're so sweet!" "I think I'm gonna vomit" "Piii" Ash and Misty just
laughed. It didn't matter what anyone thought, as long as they had each other
. "Wait! How am I gonna tell my mom?"^_^(hehehe)
fluttered open, taking in his surroundings. His heart nearly burst with joy seeing his friends all
looking unhurt. "Misty? Is everyone alright? Where's Brock?" "Right here Ash, good to see
