Ash, Misty, and Brock had all decided to take a break away from their training and headed toward Ash's hometown called Pallet. As of right now they were lost in a forest close to town. They'd been walking for a couple hours now and they still hadn't seen Pallet.

Misty: Are we lost again?

Ash: No…I just don't know where we are.

Misty smacks him upside the head.

Ash: What was that for?!

Misty: It's the same thing as lost idiot!

Ash: That's no reason to hit me! Damn!

Misty: Well maybe if you could read the map right I wouldn't hit you.

Ash: Well if you're so smart then why don't you lead Mrs. Scrawny?

Bad move.

Misty: I am not scrawny! I'm a beautiful young lady. Now you take that back or you'll regret that you ever said that Ash Ketchum!

She says as she gets her mallet.

Brock: Ok this is enough! Calm down you two. Fighting isn't going to get us out of here any faster you know.

Ash: She started it…

Misty: I did not!

Ash: Did too!

Misty: Did not!

Ash: Did too!


Brock: Enough! Give me the map Ash.

Ash hands the map to Brock while he goes and sits down on a nearby rock. Misty sits down on a log on the opposite side of Ash, crosses her arms and gives him a "Hmphh".

Ash: (Why does she always have to start fights with me? I just don't get it. I hope she didn't get too upset when I called her scrawny. She does look kinda cute when she's mad though….wait, what'd I say?)

Ash absentmindedly stared at her. Misty looked over at Ash and noticed this.

Misty: (Is he staring at me? No…What reason would he have to look at me?…Hey is he blushing?)

Ash just snapped out of it and realized what he'd been doing. Quickly he turned away and a shade of red came over his face. Misty giggled as she though it was cute how he was looking at her.

Brock: Alright from what I've read we are about a good hours walk from here. So Id say the best thing to do would to get a move on. Was your mom expecting us anytime soon Ash?

Ash: No, she said to just come whenever it was convenient.

And with that the trio headed off to their destination called pallet town. They had actually gotten there in less time then they thought. They walked up to Ash's house and rang the doorbell. Mr.Mime had answered the door. He smiled and shouted to Ash's mother. She came and ran up to her son and hugged him.

Delia: Oh Ash I've missed you so much!! Have you been remembering to wear clean und….

Ash: Mom!!!

Misty and Brock both chuckled at this.

Misty: Hi Mrs.Ketchum. It's been awhile, how have you been?

Delia: Oh I've been just fine, thank you for asking Misty. And how are you?

Misty: I'm ok. (Got some things on my mind though…or someone…)

Delia: And you Brock?

Brock: I've been doing alright. We hang in there.

Delia: That's good to hear. Well let's not stand out here all day. Come in.

They head inside and all sit down in the family room. Brock sits in a chair and unknowingly Misty and Ash sit down right next to each other. Ash went to put his hand down on the couch when he felt something under it. It was another hand. He looked up to its owner and saw Misty. Immediately both trainers blush a deep shade of red.

Delia: Are you two ok? You're all red.

Ash: No, I'm fine…

Misty: Yeah…

Delia: Ok then. Oh I just remembered, the carnival is coming to town in two days from now. I remember when you were little how excited you got.

Ash: The carnival? I haven't been here for one of those in awhile. It'd be really nice to stop by and check it out. What do you think guys?

Misty: I'm up for it.

Brock: Me too.

Ash: Alright! This is gonna be cool!

Misty giggled to herself. Ash was still had a little bit of a kid side to him.

Delia: Well its getting late. Brock would you like to come help me with dinner?

Brock: Sure. Ill be right in.

This left Misty and Ash all alone in the living room.

Misty: So…is the carnival fun?

Ash: Oh it's a blast! They have rides, games, shows, and everything else you could think of.

Misty: It sounds nice. Well what do you plan on doing tomorrow?

Ash: I'm not sure really. We could go to the local pool if you wanted.

Misty's eyes widened in excitement.

Misty: That'd be great! What time should we leave?

Ash: Hmmm. Around one seems good.

Delia and Brock: Dinner's ready!

Ash and Misty got up from the couch and headed into the kitchen. Sweet smells filled their noses as they entered. Ash's mom had made chicken noodle soup from an old recipe she's had and Brock had made his famous riceballs for everyone. After everyone finished the were ready to call it a night. They were still tired from all the wandering before hand.

Delia: There are only two rooms that have beds in them and there are three of you.

Ash: Well Misty can sleep in my bed and Brock can have the guestroom. I guess I could sleep on the floor in my room.
Misty: (Ash is letting me use his bed? Well that was thoughtful of him. And he's going to sleep in the same room as me?)

Misty suddenly blushed but no on had noticed her.

Misty: That's fine with me.

Brock: No problem here.

Delia: Ok. Well if you need anything call me. I should be up for a little while longer.

And with that the teenagers headed up to their rooms. Ash and Misty entered his room and began to get ready to go to bed. Ash rolled out his sleeping bag and Misty began towards his bed.

Misty: Actually I think I'm going to take a shower. Ill be back in about 15 minutes or so.

Ash: Alright. Well I'll be here.

Misty smiled and left. This gave time for Ash to think.

Ash: (Hey I just realized there hadn't been a single fight since we came here. I like it better this way, not having fights with Misty, even though she is cute when she gets mad.)

He chuckled to himself.

Ash: (The carnival should be fun. I'm glad I can share it with my friends.)

After that Ash just laid there with his hands behind his back and stared at his ceiling. After a couple minutes Misty reentered the room. She was wearing a baby blue nightgown and her had been left down. Ash smiled as he looked at her.

Ash: You know Misty…I've always liked your hair down like that.

Misty blushed.

Misty: Why thank you Ash. Well I'm tired so I'm gonna go to sleep. See you in the morning. (Sweet dreams Ash.)

Ash: Ok. Good night Misty. (Sleep tight.)

Then they both eventually drifted off into a peaceful slumber. A new day would come soon enough.
