A/N Thanks for the reviews guys well here's chapter two. Hope ya like it.

~~~~~~~~~~

A new day was soon approaching. The sun slowly but steadily raised it self, signifying morning would be here. It was a cool day even with the sun glowing radiantly up above. Ash and Misty were still sleeping peacefully. A cool breeze entered through the open window and made Ash stir in his sleep, eventually waking him up. Ash stared at his ceiling blankly for a little thinking about nothing in particular. Then he sat up, stretched and yawned. Looking around he noticed Misty still in her dream state. He got up and walked towards his bed. Hovering over Misty he smiled. He thought she looked very peaceful…and he dreaded the thought of disturbing her in fear of a mallet. Mustering the courage he ran his hand through her hair for a second and she stirred. He held his breath for dear life, but then noticed she just rolled over and smiled. Ash released his breath and went to his bedroom door. He took one last look at her and went out. Ash walked down his stairs and yawned a little on the way. As he reached the bottom, smells of cooking filled his nose. He looked over towards the kitchen and noticed Brock was already up and currently flipped pancakes and frying some bacon.

Ash: Mornin' Brock. Breakfast smells good.

Brock turned from what he was doing and replied.

Brock: Morning. Thanks. It should be done in about 10 minutes or so. Is Misty up?

Ash: No she's still asleep.

Brock: Well in a little bit go wake her. I'll tell you when breakfast is ready.

Ash: Alright. By the way do you know if my moms up?

Brock: Yeah. She just went to the grocery store to pick up things. She should be back soon though.

Brock went back to cooking and Ash made his way over to the living room. He grabbed the TV remote from off the table and clicked it on. He surfed through the channels, not finding anything really interesting. He sighed and decided to check what time it was. He looked over to his grandfather clock and it read 9:30. A few minutes of boredom later, his mom walks in. She comes in with her arms full of bags.

Ash: Hi mom.

He says and he hurries over to help his mother from her burden.

Delia: Good morning Ash. Sleep alright?

Ash: Yup.

He said as he took some of her bags and placed them on the counter in the kitchen. He then began putting them away in the fridge.

Delia: Smells good Brock.

Delia: Thanks Mrs.Ketchum it's just about ready. Ash, go wake Misty up.

Putting another item away, Ash looked up.

Ash: Ok…but if I get hit with a mallet it's gonna be your fault.

Brock chuckled at this as Ash went back up the stairs. He went to the end of the hallway and began to open his door. Ash slowly walked in carefully trying to make the smallest amount of noise possible. He crept over to his bed and looked at the sleeping figure. He placed his hand on her shoulder and shook her gently.

Ash: Misty…Misty…

He whispered as to not bother her too much. She grumbled and slowly opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and saw that its Ash who had woken her from her sleep and good dream…

Misty: What do you want?

She asked groggily with a slight bit if anger, but that past.

Ash: Sorry to wake you but…breakfast is ready. So come down before it gets cold.

Misty yawned and then responded.

Misty: Alright let me get dressed first. So if you don't mind…I'd like some privacy.

Ash blushed.

Ash: Alright well come down stairs when you're ready.

And with that Ash left the room so Misty could change. He closed the door and headed back downstairs. Brock and his mom were already eating so he pulled up a chair at the table and filled his plate with some food. He quickly started shoveling food into his mouth.

Delia: Ash! Chew your food!

Ash: Heh…Sorry

Ash slowed down his pace of intake. Soon there are footsteps coming from the stairs and Misty enters the kitchen.

Misty: Hi everyone.

They all greeted her as she sat down. She took a plate and got some pancakes.

Misty: This looks good.

She cuts a piece and takes a bite.

Misty: Tastes good too.

Brock: Thanks.

Brock said humbly.

Misty: So are we still on for the pool today?

She asks and she continues her meal. Ash finishes his last bite and replies.

Ash: Sure. We'll leave at about one like I said yesterday.

Misty smiled.

Misty: Great!

They all finish their meals and head off to do their own things. Brock decides to go to town and look up on some pokemon breeding things. Delia goes off to clean up the house a little. Ash and Misty head into the living room. Misty sits in the chairs while Ash spreads out all over the couch.

Ash: You can look at what you want.

He says as he passes the remote to her. Misty clicks through some channels not noticing anything too good. Then she stumbles upon a water pokemon show. She stares intently at it.

Misty: Aww, they're so cute!

Ash chuckled. So he sat through it and watched the variety of water pokemon and it ended in a half an hour.

Ash: There's not much to do here…so do you wanna head to the pool now instead of later?

Misty: Sure, let me go change into my bathing suit. I'll be right back.

She headed up the stairs and to Ash's room to change. Ash waited patiently downstairs just flipping through channels aimlessly until she came back. Suddenly a voice called to him.

Misty: Ash! I'm ready!

Ash turns his head and stares at Misty.

Ash: (Whoa…)

Misty was in her two piece pink bikini. Ash just couldn't take his eyes off her.

Misty: Ash? Ash…?

Ash shakes himself out of it and blushes.

Ash: I-I-I need to change n-now….

He continues to stare as he walks away and trips over something lying on the floor. Misty giggles and Ash blushes deeper and hurries up the stairs.

Misty: (He's cute when he stares at me.)

After a couple minutes of waiting Ash comes down in a dark blue bathing suit with his shirt off and a towel around his shoulders.

Ash: Well lets get going.

They head out of his house and begin walking through the town. They pass by various people and Ash waves to those he knows and they reach the middle of town where they find Pallet Town Swimming Club. Ash and Misty headed into the pool club and picked up some chairs. They walked over to a nice spot on the grass and put their stuff down. There weren't that many people here, just some kids and a few teenagers. Ash runs off to the pool and jumps in doing a cannonball.

Ash: WOOHOO!

He screams before he hits the water. He resurfaces and calls to Misty.

Ash: Well are you coming in or not?

Misty: Yeah, Ill be right there.

Misty rushes to the diving board. She gets on, run to the end and takes a dive. She hits the water perfectly. Misty swims around at the bottoms and then heads up for air. Taking in a breath or two she searches for Ash.

Misty: Ash? Ash? Where are you?

She looks around and doesn't see him. A bit of worry takes over her.

Misty: Come out this isn't funny.

Then suddenly hands are put on her shoulders and push her down into the water. After a few seconds they release their grasp. Misty rushed to the surface for air gagging as she did. She looks to see who it was and saw Ash. She became very mad.

Misty: Ash! You jerk! That wasn't funny!

Ash chuckles.

Ash: I was just having a little fun. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I promise.

Misty: You better not…or you'll taste mallet.

Ash then turned and began to swim in the other direction. Before he got too far he felt hands on his shoulders, pushing him into the water. Then they let him go after a little and he goes up coughing and breathing in air fast. He sees it was Misty.

Misty: Well now were even.

Ash: Fine…*cough*…were even.

Misty then floats away on her back looking at the clear blue sky. She sighs and closes her eyes. Meanwhile Ash was on the diving board trying to make his cannon balls bigger each time, one actually had splashed Misty. Misty didn't do anything though, she just laughed.

Misty: (Still a kid at heart.)

They had stayed there about an hour and a half then they decided to leave. They got out of the pool and headed to their stuff. After packing up, drying off, and returning their chairs, they began their walk home.

Misty: Ash…

Ash turned to her.

Ash: Yeah Misty?

Misty: Thanks for taking me to the pool. I had fun.

She smiled. Ash smiled back at her.

Ash: Your welcome…but your gonna have even more fun at the fair. (Maybe at the fair it'd be a good time to…)

Misty: I hope so. (Hmmm…I could tell him then. Yes…that'll be the perfect time.)

Then the two headed back to Ash's house and waited the following day when the long expected carnival would arrive. Who knows what will happen then? Only time will tell.
