Thanks for all the reviews. I'm glad you guys like the ficcy.
As promised, more Ash and Misty mushiness in this part.
I don't own Pokemon, but I do own the random characters that appear in this story that aren't in
Pokemon.
Oh yeah, Ryan, thanks for the review. I understood perfectly what you meant. I'm glad you can
picture this in your head.

'This is Peachy'
~~
The next morning, Misty and her Golduck were up first. Misty was still in her nightgown,
pale blue and flannel, as she made herself a cup of tea.
"I don't know why I told him that story about Rose! Only you, my other Pokemon, and Erika
know the story." Misty said, pouring the boiling hot water into a teacup.
"Golduck!" Golduck said. [You trust him.]
Misty frowned, dropping two spoons of sugar into her tea. "Do I really?"
Golduck shrugged. "Gold, duck!" [It shows, you smile more when he's a around!]
"I don't smile, period." Misty replied, flatly.
"Gold, Golduck! Gold, duck..." [Oh, yeah, well, I think you're I love wi...]
"You finish that sentence and you'll regret it." Misty said, her hands beginning to motion that
of a whirlpool.
Golduck grimaced. "Golduck." [Sorry, Mist.]
Misty turned and threw the teabag into the trash, and smiled. "It's okay."
"Good morning Misty," Ash said.
Misty smiled, "Good morning Ash."
"What are we doing today?" Ash asked.
"It was mine!" Sabrina insisted.
"Back off! It was mine!" Erika replied.
"Want me to read your mind and find out the truth?" Sabrina asked.
Misty turned to Ash. "We start the morning off by killing this fight."
Ash nodded, "Okay..."
"Alright you two, enough!" Misty said.
"It was her fault!" Erika complained.
Misty frowned, "What went missing and when?"
Lance and Eric entered the kitchen. "Who took what?" the latter asked.
"Sabrina took my violet seeds!" Erika said.
"You took my meditation book!" Sabrina replied, indignant.
Brock came in, with a half-asleep Cory dragging a totally asleep Shawn. "What's going on?"
"I'm not sure," Ash replied, watching as Misty took a long sip of tea.
Misty knew Ash was watching her. 'Why is he watching me? It's unnerving! Is he staring at
me because I'm the only one that can stop this fight or is it something else? Is he in love
with me? Do I love him, like Golduck said? I can't be in love... I've lost so much and any
emotional attachment would be terrible... or would it be?'
"Golduck!" Golduck said, trying to get his trainer out of whatever world she was in. [Misty!]
Mist blinked, realizing the fight was still going on. "Knock it off you two! Honestly...
just give back whatever you each took and forget about it! Geez..."
With those Misty grabbed her cup of tea and left the room, shaking her head.
"Oh, look what you did now!" Erika said, and turned with grunt and walked away.
Ash blinked, and in that blink decided to go and follow Misty.
~~
Ash found Misty sitting on the stairs by a set of rooms.
"What are these rooms?" Ash asked.
Misty turned, obviously startled. "These are our training rooms. We can practice hand to
hand combat, Pokemon battle techniques, and... a few other tactics."
"Will you teach me some of the hand to hand techniques," Ash asked, wondering about the 'other
tactics', "I wanna learn some of the stuff you used on those Rocket members!"
Misty blushed, "That was a compliment, right?"
Ash nodded, "Yes."
Grinning, Misty stood up and offered a hand to Ash. "Go change into some lose clothes, and
then meet me back here."
~~
"Okay, good. Now bring your hand out to block this punch. Good, now let's put this entire
routine together and then we'll break for a little while." Misty said.
Ash, his white t-shirt covered lightly in sweat, nodded. Misty, who was wearing a t-sheet and
sweatpants, had no sweat on her at all.
Ash managed to pull the entire routine together. As soon as Misty called time, though, Ash was
on the floor, resting. That sparked laughter from Misty as she continued to work on her
separate routine, a combination of complicated kicks and blocks.
'I'm glad I made Misty laugh. It sounds so sweet. Misty looks so good doing that routine....
WAIT A MINUTE! Where did that come from?! Mist is beautiful... Now I'm calling her Mist?!
I've heard of your consciousness talking to you, but this is ridiculous! Maybe Brock was
right. Maybe I am falling for Misty. She's been so sweet to me, and she did tell me that
story last night. I can't be in love with her... right?' Ash thought, as Misty offered him a
bottle of water.
"Thought you might like one," Misty replied, plopping down right next to him.
Ash smiled, and then proceeded to chug down half of the bottle. "Thanks."
"Welcome. I think we're done with hand to hand combat for today," Misty said.
"Good, I need a shower," Ash said, standing up and then offering a hand to Misty.
"There's one connected to the room you share with everyone else." Misty said, taking the
offered hand.
Ash hulled Misty to her feet and then stretched his muscles. "I'm going to be sore tomorrow."
"That you will be," Misty replied, and opened the door, and both headed up to their rooms,
wanting a shower.
~~
Misty was rubbing a towel through her wet red hair when Erika came in. Misty had changed
into a frog during her shower. (Authoress: WHAT?! Sorry, about that folks, my muses will
apologize at the end... Now for the real sentence!) Misty had changed into a loose skirt
that came down to her knees and a tank top.
"Misty, sorry about the fight with Sabrina this morning," Erika said, her head bowed.
Misty didn't even look up from where she was looking for her hairbrush. "Don't worry.
I'm used to it. Have you seen my hairbrush?"
Erika threw it to Misty, who easily caught it. "Thanks."
Erika sat on her bed, "Welcome. Now, Misty, what did Ash and you talk about while you were
'training'?"
Misty rolled her eyes and braided her hair. "Nothing really."
"I think you sound depressed." Erika retorted.
"I think you need to clean your ears."
"I think you're in denial."
"I think your crazy."
"You just realized that?" Sabrina mumbled, referring to Misty's comment.
"No, it just breaks out in little spurts. It's easy to forget that she's crazy when she acts
normal." Misty replied, ignoring Erika's little growl.
Sabrina nodded, "Yeah, I'm going to hit the shower."
Misty and Erika waited until they heard the water turn on until they continued their
conversation.
"Misty, do you or do you not like Ash?!" Erika replied.
Misty rolled her eyes again. "Since when am I on trial?!"
"Since you won't answer my question!" Erika retorted.
"It's my business on who I like or don't like! I don't butt in on your life!" Misty replied,
irritation lancing her voice.
"So, you're conforming my suspicion that you do indeed like Ash!" Erika replied.
Misty felt her temper rising, and did her best to stop her voice from rising also. "I'm not
denying nor confirming anything, Erika!"
Erika did nothing to stop her rising voice. "That is so like you, Misty, running from the
questions!"
"At least I'm not asking them when I know my friend doesn't want to hear them!" Misty retorted,
her voice rising with each word.
"Well, at least I'm getting you to open up!" Erika replied.
~~
Everyone was shocked when they heard the arguing going on between Misty and Erika.
"This is new. Misty never fights with anyone," Shawn replied.
"She must have got her fill of fights with me," Ash mumbled, although he felt a certain pride
knowing Misty would only fight with him.
"Should I stop them, Lance?" Eric asked.
"Let them fight it out." Lance replied, although he felt bad about letting the two of
them continue to duke it out.
~~
"You know I like to keep to myself!" Misty replied.
"It's not the way to live Misty! You can't keep everything bottled up! It's not good!
You need to talk to people! Unless, the only person you ever talked to was Rose!" Erika
replied, but as soon as she said that, she regretted it.
"How could you?!" Misty shouted and ran out of the door.
"Misty, I'm sorry!" Erika called.
~~
The guys had been surprised when the door opened and Misty ran out of it and towards
the exit of the base, her braid flying behind her. Erika appeared next, sorrow covering
her face.
"Misty, I'm sorry!" Erika said.
Ash blinked, and then took off after Misty. He only called over his shoulder for Pikachu to
stay with Brock.
"I didn't mean to do that, Lance, honest," Erika said.
"I know, Erika, it's just the words you used. Let those two talk, and she'll be back soon,"
Lance said.
"Yeah, Ash will make Misty feel better, right Pikachu?" Brock said.
"Pi!" Pikachu said, nodding. [Right!]
~~
Misty stopped by the river. She and Erika never fought! Misty fighting with anybody was a
rarity anymore.
"Hey Mist," Ash said, sitting next to her.
"Hi Ash." Misty said, still looking at the water.
"You okay?" Ash asked.
"I'm fine, just a bit shaken. Erika and I never fight!" Misty said.
Ash suddenly, and impulsively, pulled Misty into his lap and hugged her close to him. Ash
first noticed the smell of her flower shampoo and the softness of her skin.
Misty suddenly began to cry. "I miss my sisters, Ash. I miss Rose."
Ash gently rubbed Misty's back. "Hush, Mist, just cry. Let it all out, okay?"
Misty's reply to that was only to sob harder into Ash's shoulder. Anyone who passed the
deserted forest of the Indigo Plateau would have smiled at the sweet scene the two made. Ash
was rubbing her back and whispering in Misty's ear and Misty was hugging Ash like if she let go
she would die. The sweet scene last for almost thirty minutes before either realized exactly
what was going on.
"Oh, my, Ash, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry like that." Misty said, gently.
"Misty, it's okay. I promise I won't let anyone know." Ash replied.
"Thanks Ash," Misty replied, and tried to get out of Ash's embrace, but he wasn't letting go,
"Ash?"
"Don't let go Misty," Ash asked, and almost begged.
Misty snuggled into Ash's arms, feeling safe and happy for the first time in years.
Ash looked at Misty and, seeing the small smile playing on her face, he grinned. He had enough
courage now, and carefully he dipped his lips towards Misty's. Misty's lips met his half way,
and they kissed. (Authoress: UMIMIMOE!) The kiss was soft and gentle, with almost no passion,
but still full of undying love. Misty pulled away first, shocked at Ash's boldness.
"Ash," Misty said softly.
"Misty, I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." Ash began, his mind calling him an idiot for kissing his
best friend.
"Ash, I think I wanted that as much as you did," Misty said, surprised at herself. 'I thought
I didn't want an emotional attachment again... but when I'm around Ash...'
"Mist, are you sure?" Ash asked, shocked.
Misty nodded, "Yes, Ash, I'm sure."
Ash leaned towards Misty, and she did the same... but...
"Awwww, now isn't this a touching scene?" Gypsy, a Team Rocket member, asked.
"Yeah, it is Gyps'," Keith agreed with his partner.
"Team Rocket..." Ash said, standing up, hauling Misty to her feet in the process.
"We got ourselves a bunch of kids!" Gypsy said, as other Rocket members appeared.
"Nah, that redhead ain't no normal kid," Keith insisted, "I heard from the Boss himself!"
Ash looked at Misty, a wondering look on his face.
"This is peachy!" Misty hissed under her breath.
~~
Ehhe, I'll leave it here.
Wow, I had no idea what to write for this chapter... but this only took me about an hour and a
half to write. This is a bit longer than normal since the last chapter was so awful...
Now, about my muses... If you play on NeoPets, you'll understand... but if you don't I'll
describe the best I can. UmiMimoe is a blue Lupe (wolf-looking pet). She mostly aides in
romance.... That's why I yelled at her during the kissing scene. StrawberryHikeru is a red
Eyrie (half lion/half bird), she's my humor pet. That's where the frog line came from...
If you wanna know about my muses, read my profile.
Now, apologize!
UmiMimoe: We're sorry about Misty being changed into a frog.
StrawberryHikeru: Yeah, we were just having fun!
Good muses!
