Here's chapter 3!
~~~
*Misty, Togepi and I are going home. See ya!* Pikachu told Misty and rushed off before she had a chance to answer.
A few minutes after Pikachu and Togepi had left, and after watching Brock tell the girls stories that were not true, she decided to go home too. Brock was making her sick. She had never thought of him as a babe magnet. (Thank you for that line. Sorry, but I'm not online so I can't check who it is that said that but thank you.) He must have said something that wasn't true to make them hang all over him like that. Or they were on drugs. Something was up with him. He wasn't being all girl crazy like normal. He was playing it cool and spoke in a softer voice.
When she reached Ash's house, she almost doubled over in laughter. Pikachu and Togepi had set up a lemonade stand! The sign was written in Pokemon language, so anyone passing by had no idea what it said. She slipped past them and went inside. Ash was in the kitchen doing dishes.
"Did you see them?" Misty was pointing out the window, and laughing.
"Yes, I did. I had to help them make the lemonade." Ash answered, smiling.
"That is so cute! I wonder why they need the money?"
"Yeah, me too. I'll go ask Pikachu." Ash said.
Ash went outside and asked, "Why do you guys need money? If you want something, I will get it for you."
*Ash, we need it for something important. I'll tell you later.* Pikachu said as he gave a wandering girl some lemonade.
"Oh, ok."
"So, what do they want it for?" Misty curiously asked.
"He wouldn't tell me." Ash answered in reply.
Back outside...
*Togepi, we only have $5.50. We can't buy anything with that.* Pikachu said, discouraged.
"I know. I still can't believe Daddy asked someone that's not Mommy out on a date!" Togepi cried.
~FLASHBACK~
*Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring, ring! Phone call , phone call!*
"Just a second.... Hello?"
"Amber?"
"This is Amber. Who's calling, please?" Amber asked.
"Ash. Ash Ketchum. Remember?"
"Oh, you were the cute one with the polite manners! Hey!"
"Yeah, well I just called to see...um...to see if you wantedtogothebeachthingwithme?" Ash rushed.
"Ash, Ash, wait slow down. What?"
"I just wanted to see if you wanted to go to the beach thing with me." Ash said softly.
"Uh, yeah sure. I don't have a date yet, and I was sort of hoping you would ask me. So, sure, I'll go.
~FLASHBACK END~
Pikachu sighed. He just couldn't believe that Ash has asked somebody else.
In the kitchen...
Misty sighed. She was wondering why Ash had not asked her to the beach party yet. She was so sure he liked her. The next day Delia was coming home, and the next day would be the beach party. Time was running out.
"Misty? Can I talk to you?" Ash asked.
Misty's heart pounded. "Sure, Ash." She tried to not be nervous, but she knew her voice was shaking.
Here we are now face to face
Gonna make it very clear
'Cause I don't have time to waste
If your heart is insincere
Tonight is gonna be the night
Tell ya how it's gonna be
Gonna give my love to you
If ya give it back to me
"Uh... Mist? Ya know way back when we promised we would never lie to each other?" Misty nodded. Was it just her or did his voice seem to shake too?
That's the way I planned it
That's our destiny
It only takes a minute
So come and go with me
Ain't no doubt about it
I'm so into you
Tell ya just what I'm gonna do
"Well, I, uh, I asked Amber to the beach thing."
Misty's blood rushed to her head. She didn't know what to say. The expression on her face was blank, so Ash couldn't tell what she was thinking. "Uh... Mist? Are you OK?"
Hit you with my love shot
Tell me you can handle this
Or is it to hot?
Only gonna take one kiss
To show you what I've got
'Cause I won't stop
With my love shot
"Am I ok? Yeah, I guess I am." Her voice had no expression in it. Ash didn't believe her.
"Mist, I have known you long enough to know when something's wrong. Tell me." Ash tried to persuade her.
I don't care what you did before
'Cause now it's a brand new game
I'm everything you're searching for
And you'll never be the same
Real love is what I'm all about
Don't ya wanna play for keeps
So if you wanna treat me right
Then you'll get the best of me
There's no way to fight it
There's nowhere to hide
No words to explain
When you felt it deep inside
Take you on a journey
Sure to satisfy
Baby, come along for the ride
"What's wrong?!? I'll tell you what's wrong! For the longest time, I liked you! I liked you a lot. I thought you did, but I wrong. So here. Take this. And then I'll leave you alone...maybe." Ash was so startled he fell of the chair. He got back up, and Misty brushed a soft kiss on his cheek. Then she ran upstairs and slammed her door. Ash could hear her sobbing.
Ash turned and Pikachu and Togepi were standing in the doorway.
*Don't come to us. We don't want to add to your damage.* Pikachu said coldly, then he ran up the stairs to comfort Misty. Togepi gave "Daddy" a mean look, and waddled after Pikachu.
Hit you with my love shot
Tell me you can handle this
Or is it to hot?
Only gonna take one kiss
To show you what I've got
'Cause I won't stop
With my love shot
I'm here for you
You're here for me
And this is how it's meant to be
You can't deny it
I'll take you up
I'll take you down
I'll show you what real love is about
C'mon and try it
(That was Shania Twain, and now I'm making up some of my own to add to the song)
Or will you deny it?
I thought this is how we were meant to be
But I guess I was only dreaming
~~~
Well, did you like it? Please tell me what you thought. I know my own lines were kind of lame, but I needed to add them for the song to make more sense to go with the story line. Don't worry, it's not the last chappie. I have plenty more to go. I'll probably get out a chapter per week, now that 7th grade has started. 'Till next chapter!
