"Ash! wait!" Richie and Brock ran after him.

Ash stopped running to breathe for a while. He was panthing heavilly.

"Come on Ash! You'll be populair! Famous! A star!" Richie said.

"But I.." Ash murmured

"Hey! If you don't want to be the main character then I'll do it! Then I can.." a voice said.

"Gary?!" Ash yelled.

"Yeah! Losers like you won't belong in showbuisness!" he said, "Because I DO!" he boasted.

"Leave him alone Gary." another voice said.

It was Misty.

"Fine then.. have it your way! But Misty is MINE!" Gary yelled and walked back inside.

"I don't even want her.." Ash murmured.

"What was that all about?" Misty asked. "Anyway, you need to go inside both of you." she pointed to Brock and Ash. "You gotta read the scripts." after she said that she walked inside. Brock and Richie followed her.

Ash sighed.

Why.. me.. he thought.

he slowly walked inside.

he walked to the rest of the people who were cosen to be in the musical, and got his script.

"So what's the story about?" he asked.

"About a Pokémon trainer who'll become Pokémon master. He travels aroud the world with his friends." Jamey said.

"You're lucky!" a guy said.

"Huh? Lucky? Why?" Ash asked quite confused.

"Don't you know about the end?" the guy asked.

"Ehm no? I think I'll become a Pokémon Master and that's it?" Ash said.

"Oh my god you really don't know.. in the end after you become a Pokémon Master, You'll have to KISS Misty! Don't you see how lucky you are? she's populair beautifull and such.." the guy said.

"WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Ash yelled.

the guy shook his head.

What ELSE can go wrong?! he thought to himself, can it actually get ANY WORSE?!

after a few hours talking about the script, he could finally go home.

he grabbed his bike and wanted to cycle to his home until he heard a voice behind him.

"I heard you yelling. Don't you dare try to think that I like it that I have to kiss you." a voice said.

Ash turned aroud and saw Misty.

"I won't" he said, "You know, I couldn't care less if you kissed a frog instead of me! Why don't you date Gary or something! He likes you, I DON'T!" he said and cycled home.

Later that evening.

"Ash! Dinner's ready!" Deliah yelled.

"I'm coming!" Ash yelled back.

what's wrong with me.. why did I get so pissed off all of a sudden.. I didn't meant it at all.. he thought.

"Come on! or your food gets cold!" Deliah yeleld again.

"Allright allright already!" Ash got out of his room and walked downstairs and slowly ate his food.

"What's up Ash?" she asked worried.

"Nothing.."

"Yes there is"

"I can't hide anything from you can't I?"

"Nope."

"nah.. it's the musical.. I don't like it.. It's about a trainer who'll become Pokémon master and in the end he falls in love with his best friend."

"Best friend? A boy?"

"No.. The populairiest girl in the school.."

"Ah.. but that's wonderfull isn't it?"

"No! You don't understand! I have to kiss Misty!!"

Deliah became silent all of a sudden.

"Are you thinking of your past again? before you had to go to school?"

"sometimes.."

"Do you.. still have the same feelings for her?"

"No.. but I'm afraid they'll come back.. And I don't want it 'cause she'll never like me. And besides, Gary likes her allready. Even if I'll liek her in the future I don't stand a chance."

"Love is hard."

After Ash cleaned his plate he walked upstairs.

"I'm gonna chat, mom!"

"OK, don't go to bed too late!"

Ash walked into his room, sat on a chair and logged in on the chatbox.

Wonder if she'll be there. When I talk to her I forget my IRL problems. he thought

Ah, there she is.

Ash clicked on a name.

Satoshi (Private): Hi Kas.

Kasumi (Prvate): Hey Satoshi! How was your day?

Satoshi (Private): Not so well..

Kasumi (Prvate): Mine neither.. I was rude to one of my old friends.

Satoshi (Private): I'll have to play in a musical it really sucks.. makes me think of my past before I sat on the high school.

Kasumi (Private): Hey me too! Kinda funny. Our schools look a lot like eachother.

Satoshi (Private): Yeah. Maybe we should meet sometime.

Kasumi (Private): Good idea. Anyway what happened in your past?

Satoshi (Private): Well.. I was travelling around the world to become a Pokémon master but when I became 14 I had to go to the High School. And then I lost contact with one of my friends. She became very populair and now she doesn't want anything to do with me anymore.. that really sucks you know? and on top of all she's playing in the musical too.. as my GF :|

Kasumi (Private): Ah.. that sucks indeed. Something like that happened to me too.

Satoshi (Private): So, we do look a lot like eachother.

Ash looked at the clock.

Damn, 12 o'clock already. gotta quit. he thought to himself and sighed.

he quickly typed I'm sorry I gotta go now. See ya tomorrow!

Kasumi (Private): Ok. Bye Satoshi! 'Till tomorrow. I really wish we could meet someday.

Satoshi (Private): Yeah, me too. really gotta go now.

Ash closed the chatprogram and shutted his pc off.

He quickly changed into his pyama's and got in bed.

What am I gonna do? I'm afrad I'll get a crush on Misty again.. but I'm afraid I'm gonna like Kasumi too.. damnit.. oh well.. at least I don't have homework since I'm playing in that stupid musical.. he thought to himself and fell asleep.
