Misty sat at the ocean's edge and watched the waves come in. It was dark, so dark that she was sitting in the only place that seemed to not be filled with shadow. All she could see was the water lapping at her feet and-even though it was so dark- thousands of bright stars up above. She ran some sand through her fingers, then looked up. She had heard something-someone-nearby. "Hello Misty." Said a youngish male voice that she couldn't quite place. "Whowho are you? How do you know my name?" She asked slowly. She heard the stranger sit down. "You are dreaming, Misty." The voice began. "I am a part of someone that you know, but you have never seen this part-as of yet." Misty was confused-of course, but believed that she was in a dream. "It is a beautiful night, the stars shining so brightly." The stranger commented, then Misty could feel his gaze shift to her. "Just like your eyes." Misty blushed slightly. "ThanksSomeone else once said about the same thing to me." She looked up at the sky. "Rudy, wasn't it?" Asked the voice. Misty nodded. "But somehow, it means more to me when you say it." She looked up at the stars and wondered why that was, then looked back at the darkness. "Can you tell me who you are?" She asked. She heard the stranger sigh. "I'm sorry Misty, I can't do that now, but we will meet again." Misty opened her eyes. "Oh, it was a dream." She confirmed to herself. She picked up the still sleeping Togepi and shook him gently. "Togepi, time to wake up." She said softly until he stirred. "Pi?" he asked as he opened his eyes. "Good morning." Misty said as she carried Togepi outside. "You want to hear about the strange dream I had?" She asked. "Togepi!" Was the happy response.
