Chapter 10: Reunion

"Well, Misty, you're recovering quite fast. We can let you go today if you like. Although, you will need lots of rest. In about three days you should be fully recovered." The words were music to her ears, and her face lit up.
"Yes! Ash, we're going home!" She grabbed me in her arms and started jumping up and down.
"Don't get involved in any strenuous activity until those three days are up, and you'll be fine." The doctor smiled at us, and turned to go to another patient's room.
"So, Misty. Feeling better?" I haven't seen her in so long. It's no nice to have her, alive and well, standing right in front of me.
"Am I ever!" She grabs me again and brings me to her lips. We connect, and blood starts to rush through my whole body. This is only the second time that I've kissed her since I found her. Electricity shoots through my head and a tingling feeling begins at the base of my neck. Sure, I kissed Duplica, but it wasn't the same. I didn't love her. Right now, I'm kissing the woman I love. I break away, and put my arm around her waist.
"C'mon. Let's go home." I forgot. It's also been four months since she's been to the house.
"Is everything the same?"
"Yes. I didn't touch anything. I left all of your stuff there. Made me feel like you were still around."
"Good. I didn't want to go home and see white sheets covering everything!" We both laughed and gave each other one more hug. We walked to the entrance. On our way, we had many gawkers. Many of them were doctors who had heard of the rumor about Misty. And now, they all know the truth. She is alive and well. I smile to myself, knowing that somewhere, Duplica is going, "Shit!" I have to stifle a small laugh after thinking this. I should invite her over just to 'introduce' Duplica to Misty, again. I sure would get a laugh out of that. We approach the exit, and the front counter people wave us out, and wish us good luck.

It was a very nice day. Bright and sunny. A cool breeze ran across the city. The weather has been with me the whole time. Something bad happens, the weather or time of day is an omen. Something good happens, and the day is great.
"Ash?"
"Yes?"
"What were you talking about back at the hospital? Y'know, about Duplica?"
"Uh, well...I think I should tell you that when you're sitting down. That would be best."
"Why?"
"You won't believe what she tried to do to me, that's why." She turned in front of me and stopped me right there. In the middle of the sidewalk.
"WHAT, exactly, did she try and do?" It was made obvious that she was now very skeptical. I blushed. Would she be mad at me? Oh man, If she wants to know, I guess I have to tell her.
"While you were gone, she...she...uh, came over a lot of times, and..."
"...And...?"
"She...um, well...she tried to rape me."
"WHAT?!?"
"First time was in a car, and the second time was in our own house."
"TWO TIMES?!"
"It was really monotonous."
"Did she succeed?!"
"Well, she a good kisser, but she never actually-"
WHACK!!!
I had an overwhelming pain in my head, and I tumbled to the ground. Misty was breathing heavily, panting almost. She was holding her mallet close to my head.
"YOU KISSED HER?!?!"
"Ow..." I shakily got up from the ground, with Misty holding her mallet menacingly high in the air.
"You didn't let me finish...damn! Even after four months, you still have that accursed thing?!"
"Damn straight I do! Now, finish what you were going to say..." She raised the mallet higher.
"I had to play along. Otherwise, she never would have let me go. First time, I smashed her head against the car roof, and the second time, I shoved my magnum into her side so she would stop."
"Couldn't you have just...like, snapped her neck, or something?!"
"Misty! You're over-reacting! First of all, I don't kill someone for the hell of it. Second, would you do that if someone tried to rape you?"
"...Yes." I sighed, and continued walking. I heard her footsteps coming after me. I braced for another impact. But it never came.
"Ash, I'm proud of you."
"What for?" This sort of caught me off guard.
"Well, for one, I believe most men would have just let the woman rape them. It's not everyday something like that happens. But not you..." She hugged me as we were walking, and I almost fell.
"Everyday? Nah, but pretty damn close to it. Almost EVERY other day, though!"
"Ever since I was gone?!"
"No, maybe about...a week before I found you." Misty sighed in relief, and resumed walking with me.
"Everyone is going to be so happy to see you."
"I bet. It's only been four months, Ash." She smiled sarcastically, and I slipped my arm around her waist. As we were walking, I remembered something.
"But first, there is someone that REALLY misses you. I think we should go see her first."
"Fine with me. As long as I get to see everyone again!" She smiled, genuine, this time. This person is going to be overjoyed to see Misty again.
*
The bell on the door jingles as we walk through, but no one is at the desk. We're at the pokemoncenter, but no one is here. That's not like her.
"Has Nurse Joy really missed me that much?"
"You have no idea."
"Hello?" Another female voice sailed through the air, and another red- haired woman walked out into the reception area.
"Hello, Nurse Joy!" Nurse Joy looked around to see where the voice came from, and her searching eyes found us. She gasped. In horror, fright, wonder, joy, I dunno. I'm guessing the latter.
"Mis...Misty?!"
"Didja miss me?" Misty ran over to Nurse Joy and took her in a friendly embrace. It came as a shock to Nurse Joy. Her eyes were still wide open, even as she hugged Misty.
"Misty? Is it really you?"
"Yours truly!" Misty hugs Nurse Joy again, and tears follow from Joy's eyes.
"You're back! I've...I've missed you so much!"
"I missed you! Looks like we can talk tonight!"
"I don't think so."
"But...why not? There's so much I want to talk to you about!"
"Because I'm sure there are others waiting for your greetings."
"That's true..."
"Tomorrow, ok?"
"Works for me!" They both pulled away from the hug, and just sort of stared at each other. It was like a story, or something. Or maybe a fairy tale. Two friends happily reunited after a long time.
"You should get home now. I think there are people waiting for you." Nurse Joy looks over Misty's shoulder and winks at me. That's my cue.
"Uh, right! Yeah Misty, Let's go. We've gotta go see the others!"
"Ok, ok! I'm coming!" She starts walking with me out the door, but not before waving to Nurse Joy, who is still crying with happiness.
"Good-bye, Misty. I'll see you tomorrow."
*
"So, why did Nurse Joy wink at you? Did you kiss her, too?"
"What?! No! It's nothing like that! Just wait until we get in the house!"
"Ahhhh, a surprise. I wonder what it could be..." She puts her hand to her chin, imitating The Thinker. She laughs and follows me inside our house. OUR house. That's a term I haven't used in a while. I've been using the term MY house. It feels good saying it the other way.
"You have the key, right Ash?"
"Uhhh..." was the only thing I could say as I gave myself a pat down searching for my key to the house.
"Ash? This isn't funny if you're joking. I want to go inside and take a nap!"
"A nap! But what about the surprise?!"
"Ok, but I'll go to bed right after it!" After she finished the sentence, I felt I rigid lump in my back pocket. I reached in, and pulled out some keys. The jingling tune seemed to mock Misty's impatience.
"Hmph! That's not very funny!"
"I wasn't joking! I didn't know if I had it or not!" I put the key inside the lock and turned. The metallic grinding of the lock was heard for a few moments, but disappeared. The door creaked open, and we both stepped inside.
"MISTY!!" the shout echoed through the house, and she gasped in joy.

YUA: Ok, that's enough for this chappie. Hehe...almost had there didn't I? Didi you guys really think I was gonna let Misty die? If you did, say so in your review. But just to let ya know, Misty is to hot! ^_~ I wouldn't let her die! She is WAY TOO hot! ( ^.^ ) You gotta admit. She is beautiful, ain't she? ::starry eyes:: Sigh...
