Home is where the heart is, right?
Chapter 3
*****************************
Previous Chapter:
"Ash, I got a phone call last night....."
*****************************
"Yeah, so what?" Ash said, trying to sound uninterested, but failing miserably at it.
"It was my sister Daisy, and she, well... she..." Misty tried to finish, but it seemed like she her lips were frozen together.
"Yeah Mist?"
Somehow the use of that old nickname broke viciously through the wall Misty had tried to keep around her heart.
"She... she wanted me to....to.." Misty stuttered.
"Spit it out already!" Ash shouted at the top of his lungs.
"She wanted me to come back and help them save the gym." Misty said quietly.
"Well then, let's go! We have to help them, of course, but it can wait until after I win this badge, right?"
"No, Ash, it can't. My plane leaves at 9:00 a.m."
"Your...plane? You mean we won't be going together?" He asked with a surprised and, was she just imagining it or was that a look of despair on his face?
*It's probably just because Brock left already* She thought to herself. *He wouldn't be acting like this if Brock were still here. He just needs someone to keep him company.* That was what she was mainly thinking, but a small voice in the back of her head kept telling her, "Yeah, right, you know better than that.", but she dismissed it as her subconcious just being hopeful.
She sighed heavily before she answered, something she had found herself doing a lot lately. "No Ash, we won't be going together. If I prove myself worthy, I'll have to take over the gym to make sure it stays in the Waterflower family. You have to stay here and finish gathering your badges for the league. I know you can do it on your own."
"But I don't want to do it on my own!" He shouted. "You have to stay here!"
She sighed again and, even though her temper was rising, she decided to give him a break. This was going to be very hard on him. "Ash, I have to go. My sisters need my help!"
"I need your help too, Misty! I need it more than they do!"
She sighed once more as she walked toward the door. *This will be a lot easier if I just go now.*
"Goodbye Ash." She said, turning around to offer a handshake, then when seeing it wasn't going to be returned, picking up her bags and turning once more towards the door.
"No... you can't go! You.... I order you to stay here!"
The vague form of the door was the last thing she saw before her vision went totally red.
"You... you ORDER me to stay here..!!" Her voice shook with anger.
"Well, I.... Yes I do." He said, sounding both confident and arrogant at the same time.
"I'm not one of your pokemon Ash Ketchem! You can't just go ordering me around! My sisters are about to lose their home and the biggest Waterflower posession in our family's history, and you're ORDERING me to stay here with you, you spoiled brat! How can I just sit around here while someone I don't even know is taking over my gym?! MY HOME?! What would you do Ash?!"
"I..I'd...well.."
"That's what I thought! I should just..."
The loud BEEP! of a taxi horn cut off her angry protest.
"If you'll excuse me, Ash, my taxi is waiting!" She said angrily as she stomped off, still seeing red.
He vaguely saw her slam the door and felt the pictures on the walls shake. He heard a loud screech as the taxi drove away at top speed.
"No Mist, wait...please don't go....please..I'm sorry..."
And with those last few words he crumpled into a sobbing heap on the cold tiled floor.
Sorry it's so short, but I have a limited amount of time these days for writing fanfiction, and I just wanted to catch up on this story. Hope you enjoyed it, and as always questions, comments, and yes, even critisism can be magically sent to me by way of the little blue box below. It gets lonely, so give it some nice words for company a.s.a.p!
