Misty tossed and turn and suddenly awoke in an instant. "What happen...where am I?" She asked herself looking around. As she looked around, she noticed several items that were familiar to her. She was in Ash's room...but how? As Misty tried to put two and two together, Ash walked in.
"I see that you're awake Misty." He said to her. "Ash. Why am I in your room? What happen?" "Don't look at me. You were probably sleep walking or something, but you were outside my door asleep. You know Mist, you have horrible sleeping habits..." Just then, a pillow was flung at Ash's head. "What did you say?!" "Er...nothing Misty!" Misty raised another pillow over her head but lowered it. [That's right...I remember that I was outside his door...] "Well, breakfast is ready, come down when you want..." Ash said to her, leaving his room. Misty just sat there thinking when it hit her. "Ack! The card game! I have to find out who won!" She panicked, looking for the cards they used. She spotted a pile of card lying on the ground and rushed to it. [Let's see, judging by the way the cards are placed...Elli's cards should be facing towards me...] Misty thought to herself examining the cards. As she continued to study the cards, it finally hit her. She sat down and picked up five cards. "O my god..." She said to herself.
Chapter 3: Misty spills the beans
Misty sat at the dinner table with a blank face, stirring her cereal with her spoon. Everyone looked at her, with a sweat drop on their heads. "Er...Misty? You ok?" Brock asked. "Huh? O...yeah, I'm fine..." she said in a straight tone. "Are you sure? You seem, sick...you need to go see a doctor or something?" "No...It's ok..." Misty got up. "Thank you for breakfast..." she said, walking to the living room. "I'm worried about her..." Mrs. Ketchum said. "I know what you mean..." Brock supported her. "She has been acting weird...I wonder what happened..." Ash said to them.
Misty sat alone in the living room, looking at a blank T.V. screen. [That card game...Elli lost...she lost to a pair of threes. But still, that means...] "Hey Ash, you ready yet?" Elli called from downstairs. "Don't worry, I'll be there." Elli turned around and saw Misty. "Misty! Hey! What's up?" she said to her. Misty's first reaction was to jump up and strangle her, yelling at her on how she lost to a pair of threes, but then again... "Um...hi Elli. I'm fine. You?" Elli sat down. "I'm fine. Me and Ash are going out for awhile." Misty cringed. "You know, I don't know you very well, maybe we should get together and learn about each other one day." Misty smiled at her with a sweat droplet on her head, reframing to do anything drastic. "Yeah..." she lied. "That would be great..." Ash came downstairs. "Hey Elli, I'm ready." "O good, come on! Let's go." Ash looked over at Misty. "Hey Misty, wanna come? You don't mind do you Elli?" Ash offered. "Um...no, that's ok. You two go have fun now..." she shot back to him. "O...Ok, let's go..." Ash said as they walked outside. Misty sat there for a couple of minutes and the she got up. Brock walked in a noticed. "You're going out also?" "Yeah..." "Alright...don't be late for dinner. I'm making my special." Misty took her coat and walked outside.
"Ash?" Elli said. "Yeah?" "I have his weird feeling that Misty doesn't like me..." Elli and Ash were walking along the side wall of Pallet. "Why do you say that?" Ash asked. "Well, I don't know. But I've been seeing her...well, irritated somehow." Elli told him. "Irritated? By what?" Elli looked away from him. "I think she's irritated because of me..." "No way...I know when she's irritated, believe me, but it seems like something is troubling her." They walked quietly along. "Ash...can I ask you something?" "Er...if it's about the stuff I gambled off you, I swear I returned them to you..." Elli giggled. "Not that, but something else...It's about Misty, do you love her?" This made Ash stop. Elli looked at him. "Do you?" "Well...to tell you the truth. I did..." Elli raised an eye brow. "What happened between you two?" "Nothing happened...it's just that, when she left...well, you know, out of sight...out of mind I guess. I did like her, a lot. But I was afraid to tell her. When she left, I felt lonely; I wanted to forget about her...that's when you came along." "From there I can pick it up...but what about now? Do you still love her?" Ash took a couple of seconds to think. "I...I don't know. Ever since she came back, I've been thinking about it a lot." Elli smiled at him. "I see...well, shall we move on?" Elli asked, putting her arms around one of his arms. "Yeah, after all, I did win."
Elli and Ash were at an ice cream shop and looking from afar was Misty. "Look at them..." She said to herself. Elli and Ash were talking and suddenly started laughing. "God...looking at them makes me sick..." Misty said, taking another bite of her ice cream. "Misty? Is that you?" A voice said behind her. Misty jumped up. "Um...NO! I wasn't spying on them!" She instantly said, unaware of who it was. "Er...alright..." the person said. Misty looked up. "O...it's just you Gary..." she said, sitting back down. "What are you doing here? I heard from Ash that you left him. What happened? Ash was mean to you? I'll get him! He shouldn't treat women like that. Why I ...." "Shut up Gary! I'm trying to listen in!" She barked at him looking back at them. Gary also watched. "Hey, who's the girl? Is that Ash's girlfriend?" Misty nails him with her mallet. "Quiet!" Misty said, looking back. Gary slowly got back to his feet. "Geez, testy aren't we?" Again, Ash and Elli were talking and they both laughed. "Looks like they are having a great time." Misty said, getting up. "Looks like it...but hey, if you want a good time, I could show you around." Gary offered. Misty turned to him. "Gary...grow up..." she said to him, walking off.
Misty returned home and laid down on the couch. She was thinking of all the times that Elli and Ash talked together, ate, laughed. [Ash...Why didn't you do something like that for me? Sure, we were a little arrogant back then, but I would have accepted. It would have been ok. It could have just been a friendly date...just hanging out. But...you didn't. I didn't. And...that smile...] She said, playing back the scene where they were laughing. [That smile...I never saw Ash smile like that...ever. Of all the times I've been around him, I never saw him smile like that to me or anything else, not even Pikachu...] Just then, Ash and Elli walked back in. As they were heading towards the kitchen, Elli stopped suddenly. "What's wrong?" Ash asked. "It's nothing...I just want to talk to Misty for awhile." Misty sat up. "Huh? You want to talk to me?" "Sure! Why not? Get some time to know each other." "Ok..." Ash said, walking into the kitchen. Elli looked at Misty. "Hey, wanna go outside so that no one will hear us?" Elli said. Misty looked at her confused. "Um...sure..."
The sun was still out as Misty and Elli walked. "So Misty, your from Cerulean City...that a great town. Isn't it the home of the 3 sensational sisters?" Elli asked. Misty looked down to the ground. "The sensational sisters are my sisters..." Elli looked at her surprised. "You're a sensational sister?" "Well, technically, yeah, but no. I left home, hoping to be a great water pokemon master." Elli smiled. "That's nice... my dream was to go around the world one day, seeing different towns..." "Ah...I always want to see the world to..." They both agreed. "Misty, there is something I've been meaning to ask you." "What is it?" "Um...I've notice that every time I'm around Ash, you always shift uncomfortably or you twitch or something...I just want to know...Is my presents around Ash, bothering you?" [YES! GO AWAY!] She screamed in her head. "Of course not Elli." She lied to her. "Well, I want to know...do you love Ash?" Misty was taken back by the question. "Um...why do you ask?" she said hesitantly. "Well, it will answer a lot of questions like why you're always fidgety when I'm around Ash or when you look nervous when you're around him yourself." "Well...." Elli looked at her. "Come on Misty, you can tell me. I never let anyone down, no matter what." Misty thought about it for awhile. "Tell me Misty...do you sometimes dream about him? You, in Ash's warm embrace, drinking hot chocolate while sitting out on an open fire. Ash, whispering sweet nothings in your ear. Ash, telling you that he loves you." This drove Misty nuts because she was right. Everything she said was true. Elli continued. "Ash, protecting you from all harm. Ash..." "Alright! Alright! Stop it!" Misty suddenly blurted out. "Yes! I do! I love him! I love him so much! I missed him ever since I left him a year ago and I still love him more than ever! I want to grow up with him and have a family! I want to sail the oceans with him, fly above the skies with him, and travel to the end of the world! I LOVE ASH!!" Misty screamed. Elli looked at her as she calmed down. "Wow...I didn't know..." Misty looked at her. "Please! Please don't tell Ash! Don't tell him a word!" "Don't worry about it Misty. I promise that I won't tell him. You have my word. But we should be heading back, Mrs. Ketchum is probably making dinner now."
They both were walking back. [O wow, Misty still love Ash...and Ash doesn't even know...boy he's dense...but now that I know...maybe I shouldn't have done what I did back at the ice cream shop...] Elli thought to herself. "Something bothering you Elli?" Misty asked. "Huh? O, it's nothing..."
