A/N: I'm back and feeling better than ever! Yes, for the past few days I've been a bit sick. I'm sorry I didn't get this chapter up sooner, but as I have explained I wasn't feeling well. Here's the very requested Chapter 2 of Home is where the heart is, right? Enjoy!
*..............* Means someone's thinking, o.k?

Home is where the heart is, right?
Chapter Two
Ash woke up slowly, yawning and rubbing his eyes. He had gotten just what he needed, a good night's sleep. He was 110% ready to win his next badge, and it was going to be even better when he did than it ever had before, because Misty was going to be there to watch him.
He looked at the digital clock on the table by where Misty was sleeping.
*6:29!? I thought it was later than that! Oh well, I guess I'll just go back to sleep for a while.*
And with that he fell asleep, wanting to be well-rested for his match today at 10:00a.m.

~Two Hours Later~
Misty blinked sleepily as she propped herself up on her arms. She had stayed up until 4 a.m. thinking about what her sister had said, and how she would break the news to Ash. Suddenly realization came crashing down around her.
*If I do go, and if I prove myself worthy, I'll probably have to take over the gym! No more traveling, no more battles, no more....Ash? Woah, wait a minute, she mentally told herself. How did that get in there? Oh well, I've got too much to think about already. I'll figure that out later.*
*I wonder what time it is.* She thought as she looked at the clock.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALMOST 8:30!!! I HAVE TO BE THERE IN HALF AN HOUR!!"
She quickly began packing her things in her backpack. When she was done packing her few possesions into her small backpack she rushed into the bathroom and took the world's fastest shower. Because she was in such a hurry she was knocking down all sorts of things in the bathroom and making a lot of noise.
Naturally Ash woke up very quickly because of all the noise she was making.
"Misty, is that you in there?" he yelled over all the noise.
She stopped for only a second to put her head out of the bathroom door and answer, "Yes, it's me!"
"Whatcha doing with all your stuff packed Mist?" he asked curiously.
She sighed as she walked out of the bathroom, carefully placing a towel on her still-wet hair that was now down to the small of her back. It was the first time that he had ever seen her that serious in years, and something about her attitude toward his simple question unnerved him.
She sat on the couch beside him.
"Ash," she began softly, "I got a phone call last night....."
Ha Ha! Cliffhanger! How's Ash going to react to this latest piece of news? Find out in Chapter Three of Home is where the heart is, right? By the way, I won't be back until Monday so I won't be posting anything until then. I'm going on vacation! Three things, review, review, and REVIEW!! Please? The next one'll be longer and better if you do, I promise! (O.k, so it'll be longer and better even if you don't review, but reviews'll improve my sanity! *grins wickedly* So go on, it won't hurt you a bit!)
