Oh! "(This means Ash/Misty thinking, and you'll see why that's important ^-~)"

Okay, I know I changed the title, 'the mistress' seems to fit more than the one, you know? Erm, yeah, and I was just too lazy to fix the rest of it, so, um, yeah.

The Mistress

~ Part 7; 'Is it hot, or is it just me?'

Misty's blue yes slowly blinked open. She sat up on the bed she was laying on and glanced around the room. "Wha - oh yeah!" Slowly, the memory of everything seeped back into her brain. She fell back onto the bed with a groan. "I don't want to get up!" She moaned under her breath.

"(Misty!)"

Misty bolted up on her bed. "Who's there?" She called out. But no one answered. She sighed. "This is silly!" She mumbled to herself. "No one is even in the stupid room! I need to get out of here!" Misty hopped of the bed and walked to the door.

"(Misty!)"

Misty whirled around. "Stop it!" Misty leaned against the door and shook her head. "I can't handle all this!" Tears came to her eyes. "I just can't!"

"(Misty?)"

Misty sank to the floor and held her ears, trying to make the voice stop. 'Please! Just stop!'

~;~;~

Ash tossed and turned in his sleep. He barely felt the needle pierce his arm, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that he helps Misty! 

'Misty!'  Ash screamed in his mind. All he could think about was what the pokemon, or whatever it was, had said to him. He shuddered in his endless sleep and thought about Misty again. 'Misty!'

Ash squirmed once again, something didn't feel right, well, it's not that it felt wrong exactly, it just felt… different… it felt like someone else was with him, like someone was almost sharing his thoughts, like someone was apart of him. 'Misty?' Ash thought, he didn't know how, he just knew it had to do with her!

Suddenly, a jolt of fear, pain and frustration came bursting through him for a moment. "(Please! Just stop!)"

In his mind, Ash gasped. He heard misty! He was almost positive! 'Is that you Misty?' 

~;~;~

Misty's head shot up. "I know I heard something," A strange feeling surged through her. "H-Hello?" She called out. She glanced around the room again, it was small, there was no place to hide. 'Who keeps calling me?' Misty thought. she had to figure this out including trying to find out what on earth Mew was talking about. Misty moaned and stood up. "Might as well check on Ash. I'm thirsty though, I think that shot made me hallucinate or something." Misty walked over to a fountain and began to drink.

"(Misty! This is Ash!)"

Misty immediately spit out her drink all over the wall and started coughing.

"(Sorry! I think we're linked in the mind our something.)"

Misty's mouth fell open, 'How did that happen?'

She could almost feel him shrug. "(I haven't the foggiest.)"

Misty sat of the bed and thought. 'Someone had to – CRYSTAL!'

"(Who?)"

Usually, Misty would comment on Ash's cluelessness, but Misty was too into this now. 'She said she was your nurse and she needed some of my blood transfer for you. I wonder how she did.'

"(Are you sure it was her?)"

'Pretty sure.'

Misty got up from the table and pulled open the door with great force. She glared at the passing nurses trying to find Crystal. 'When I find her….'

A calming spirit came over her. "(Easy Misty, not every nurse is Crystal. Maybe she was sent by someone to help you – HEY! YOU SAW MEW?!)"

Misty stood her rampage and blinked a few times in confusion. 'I forgot you could read my mind, but d you really need to probe it?'

"(YOU SAW MEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!)"

Misty was getting annoyed. 'Well it's not like I had a large choice! What about you? You saw a weird pokemon and you didn't tell me!'

~;~;~

Chelsea walked down the hall sipping her coffee. She waved at a fellow nurse walking towards her. "Hey Trinity!"

Trinity waved back. "Hey girl! You on your coffee break?"

Chelsea nodded. "Thankfully. Today has been a LONG day!"

Trinity nodded in agreement. "Well, I have to get back to work, enjoy your break!"

Chelsea nodded and continued her walk down the hall. She saw some pretty strange people through the halls, but she didn't think them strange. She knew they were all sick, but she stopped to stare at one girl. She certainly didn't look sick, if fact, she looked like the girl who came in with the boy that was creating such talk throughout the hospital.

The girl was standing in the middle of the hallway making faces at someone or something like she was talking to someone, but her lips weren't moving. First, she looked confused and was staring off at a distance, then her face suddenly changed to an angry one. Her arms had moved to her hips, her hands balled up into fists. She leaned forward like she was about to yell into someone's face. Her eyes blazed with an annoyed furry. Then, she suddenly smirked and settled down, then back to confused.

Chelsea shook her head and quickly walked past avoiding the girl's strange glance.

"Yea, I need a vacation." She mumbled.

~;~;~

Misty sighed. 'Whatever. I need to figure out what I'm doing next.'

Misty looked around and was suddenly aware of the strange glances given to her. She grinned nervously and shrugged. Trying not to make too much more attention to herself, she silently made her way back to Ash's room.

"(Haven't you ever heard there's no 'I' in team)"

'There's also no 'Ash' awake right now.'

"(But I want to help! I can give you advice or something! There had to be a reason that I can read your mind!)"

Misty turned and walked into ash's room, closing the door behind her, she smirked. 'why Ash, I do believe you worried about me!'

"(N-Yeah. I am.)"

Misty was surprised. She really didn't think Ash would openly admit it.

"(Don't seem so surprised, you-you mean a lot to me, you're my best friend other than Pikachu!)"

Misty blushed and smiled. "(Well good, because you're my best friend too.)"

Misty dragged a chair over to ash's bed and held the comatose Ash's hand.

Brock slowly trudged up the hill. Following just as slowly behind him was Ritchie and the rest of the pokemon. Gary had woken up a few times, but after a few complaints, Ritchie immediately pulled out Happy and Gary was asleep again. Pikachu and Sparky climbed up the hill chatting away while Golduck complained and moaned about his feet and how he was made for walking. Bulbasaur finally got sick of it and continually wacked Golduck in the back on the head with his vines every time he complained. "War." Wartortle thanked Bulbasaur, sometimes even adding in his own annoyed wack on the head. Staru and took up the back, Lapras used ice beam to get up the hill, or even to get around. Dragonair was curled up on it's back snoozing while Togetic was on the top of Lapras' head daydreaming.

Fortunately for them, Ash had left his book bag there so they could return most of ash's pokemon witht eh exception of Bulbasaur who wished to stay out.

"Pikachuuuuu? ((Are we there yet?))" Pikachu whined.

Brock shrugged. "I don't know. We should be there soon, I hope." He wiped his arms against his forehead. "Is it hot or is it just me?"

Ritchie looked up. "It certainly isn't just you."

"Pikaaaa. ((Me too!)) Sparky agreed.

Pikachu just nodded in agreement. Golduck opened his mouth to agree, but Bulbasaur wacked him again with his vine. "La la. Laaaaa. ((We're all hot.))"

"Hiya, ha hiya. ((I wonder why it got so hot all of a sudden.))"

"Moltres."

Everyone stopped and looked at Togetic who was staring straight ahead with an unusal straight face.

"Pipipi?"

"Moltres is coming. It's the balance."

Dragonair blinked it's eyes open and gazed at Togetic. "Oooooon oooon? ((what's wrong hon?))"

Togetic just smiled and shook his small head. "You'll find out."

Brock and Ritchie were confused, but knew it had something to do with Ash. He was the chosen one after all. Both sighed and started walked again. The rest soon followed suite, but Pikachu looked back sadly and Togetic. What did he know?

~;~;~

Nurse joy wiped her face with a damp towel. "Whew. It sure did get hot suddenly!" She glanced over at the temperature gage and did a double take.

~;~;~

Crystal sat outside under a tree squinting her eyes up at the sky. "Shouldn't we help them?"

The figure beside her shook its head.

Crystal sighed and looked down again. She pushed a strand of blue hair out of her face then looked over towards the building in the distance. "I just can't wait till its over."

~;~;~

Amy had just plopped herself down in her chair when an older looking man marched over to the counter and said, "What's with the heaters being on? Do you want us to melt?"

Amy sighed and said the same thing she'd told everyone else. "Nothing is wrong with the heaters, it's the temperature outside, the AC is on, it just may be a while until it kicks in."

The man glared, but walked back to his seat. "I hope." She mumbled to herself. Amy swivled the chair over to look at the thermostat.  Today it started as a comfortable 70 degrees, then it went down to a freezing 0 degrees for about five seconds, then made its way up, but now, even in the hospital, the thermostat read 100 and rising.

I finally updated! Yaaay! I think I'm going to start updating my Christmas one soon. Why din't I update it before? Cuz it wasn't Christmas! So, um, yeah, thanks for readin' and review!

~Smile Jesus loves you!
