Misty slowly makes her way down the stairs, across the battle
stadium, and back into the living quarters of the Pewter City Gym. She goes
in the door that leads to the kitchen and prepares the tea once more,
pouring the hot water into the kettle with dried tea leaves on the bottom.
She finds some more cookies and stone cakes, like Brock suggested. He loves
those things, Misty thinks to herself. She puts all the stuff out on a try
and picks it up. Standing in front of the swinging door that lead to the
living room, she pauses. Taking a deep breath, she kicks the door open with
her free foot and walks in. Ash looks up at her again and smiles. Misty
smiles subtly back. She sets the tea down on the table and takes a seat
herself. Placing a cup before each person, she serves Brock and Ash first,
then pours some for herself.
"Smells great, Misty." Ash says. "Thank you." Misty whispers. Brock grabs for a cookie. "See, this isn't that bad, is it?" "You shouldn't talk, Brock." Misty gets that husky tone in her voice again. "Eh Heh." Ash laughs to himself. "So, Misty, what have you been up to?" Brock coughs on his cookie. "Um.I, uh." Misty fiddles. "I've just been traveling around." "S - .. Same with me." Ash fumbles around with his words. "It's the same around here.kinda slow." Brock said. "Then, you wouldn't mind closing for a while?" Misty asks softly. "Or letting one of your brothers take over for a while?" "What do you mean by that, Misty?" Brock asks. Misty clears her throat. "Well, tell me if I'm way out of line here, but ." "Go ahead." Brock and Ash say together. "I was wondering, if you two aren't going to be busy, we could go on one of our little journey's again. Just like old times, we'd travel with our Pokemon to exciting places and meet nice people and Pokemon. I'd be great!" Misty spills out quickly. Ash and Brock just stare at her for a while, and finally answer in unison. "Great!" "Really?" Misty clasps her hands together. "I'm so happy you guys agree." "Actually, if Misty hadn't have brought that up, I'd have asked the same thing!" Ash recalls. "Did any of you have an idea where we'd start, or head to?" "In fact." Misty peeps up. "I was going to suggest somewhere." Ash's ears perk up as his heart pounds harder. He was waiting for Misty to propose someplace to travel, for he secretly hoped it'd be the same place he was thinking of. He wanted to go back to his home. He wanted to go to the Safari Zone. "What is it, Misty?" "I've just been burning for some reason to go and see Fuchsia City." Misty smiles. "That's wonderful!" Ash stands up suddenly. "I wanted to go to the Safari Zone, and Fuchsia City is practically in its back yard!" "I guess things can turn out perfectly." Brock laughs. "May I inquire, Ash.What is your sudden urge to go to the Safari Zone?" Misty looks up at Ash, looking down. Ash turns slightly red, remembering his lover. "Well," He laughs sheepishly. "It's a stupid motive, honestly." Misty shades to a pink. "I guess mine is as well." Brock looks from Ash to Misty, and back to Ash again. He was chuckling softly to himself. "I knew coming back together again was a good idea." Ash and Misty shake their head to get rid of their trivial daze. Ask talks next after slapping himself lightly on the cheeks a few times. "I've really wanted to do this for a long time. My invitation to you both is final." "Mine as well." Misty grins. "Then it's settled!" Brock puts his hand in the center of the table. Ash and Misty put theirs on top of his. "The tremendous twerp trio is up and running once more!"
All three laugh at the pun and raise their hands high in the air. After finishing their tea and cookies, they head up stairs to their rooms and back up the stuff they needed for the trip. By nightfall, they were locking up the Pewter City gym and heading down the road to Cerulean City, the next stop on the long road to Fuchsia City. Misty clings to Togepi, while Pikachu rides on Ash's shoulder, humming to itself.
"How lucky can I be." Ash and Misty say inside their heads as the trek on, both hoping for practically the same thing. Finding their love.
