Disclaimer: No matter how much I wish or how much fairy dust I use, Pokemon will never belong to me. ;-; I only own a strange little bird, but you dont want him. ^^ But the characters that were created out of my own imagination were Racheal, Jason, and Aydee. ^^ Thankyou! ^-^

She found herself spending most of the day in quiet, refusing to talk to anyone but try to find answers to questions that she could not figure out on her own. He did most of the same as her. Not only was she shaken up by what had occurred hours earlier, she was also very confused.

She looked out on to the moonlight, foolishly hoping there would be a blue moon tonight. Although this day called for a black moon. Thoughts spun through her mind as all she could do was wonder was possessed him to go crazy like that. Maybe it was the fact that Jason had hurt her. Maybe it was the fact that Jason was telling her things that made her want to cry. Maybe it happened because Ash maybe had loved her. Her heart wanted to believe that, but her mind forbidded it.

She watched the bracelet that clung onto her wrist. It glistened in the moonlight. Whatever made Jason say that this bracelet was ugly, must have been even stupidier then Jason himself. This bracelet made even the prettiest of girls look ugly. It reflected off the truth that Ash and Misty trusted eachother, cared for eachother, and....loved eachother. The bracelet held more powers then all the Pokemon in the world combined. It held more magic then this world could ever hope for. Or at least Misty believed so.

She wasn't shocked at was Ash had done. Well, not that shocked. She was more shocked at what Jason had done. She never knew or suspected Jason could be so selfish or evil. Now she knew. She was almost angry at herself for not listening to Ash when he said he didn't trust him the first time. But even if she did listen, none of this could have been prevented from happenning anyway. Misty didn't have the heart to slam the door in Jason's face from the minute he showed up behind that door.. At least now she did.

In every direction Misty looked, there were stars. They seemed almost angry that the full moon was getting most of the attention that night. They seemed to be sparkling with all their might, and finally won Misty's attention. She silently wished she could be like them for at least a second of her life. So beautiful and noticeable. Just to shine up in the sky looking below everyone below her as everyone looked back up at her. It would just be nice..

Memories of what had happened ran suddenly through her mind, disturbing her peaceful thoughts. The words that were said, that actions that were done. She snapped her eyes shut as it passed through her.

"He gave it to you, didn't he? I can tell. My God is it ugly. At least I could buy you REAL bracelets..You know, things actually worthy of being called bracelets."

She rose her hand to slap him, but he stopped her hand before it was an inch from bringing massive stinging pain to his face.

"My, my.. You never do learn. How about we make a deal?" He smiled at her. He seemed to be enjoying seeing her so worked up over the charm bracelet. He almost seemed to be enjoying her so worked up over Ash alone.

"Let go of me." She narrowed his eyes as him as she tightened his grip on both of her wrists.

Their voices echoed through her mind, painfully reminding her of what had happened earlier.

She was thankful when she heard Ash's soft and soothing voice that brought her out of her painful memories.

"Th..The moon looks pretty tonight." He cautiously took steps closer to her and was soon enough leaning on the railing that prevented them from falling into the ground.

"Isn't it?" Misty's voice remained unemotional.

She could feel him watching her again, but this time a lot more carefully. She knew he was confused just as much as her. He watched the moonlight reflect off of her firey red hair and pure white skin. They both suffered a small uncomfortable pause before Misty spoke up again.

"I'm sorry." Her voice seemed weak and unhappy.

He looked at her with disbelief in his eyes.

"For what?" He almost allowd a laugh escape his lips.

"For not listening to you..And about Ja...Jason.." She could barely say his name.

"It's okay. I've made too many mistakes to have you of all people to listen to me." He tore his eyes away from her.

"No..I knew you were right..Inside.. I just didn't listen." She paused for a moment, "That was scary, what happened before..Even for me.."

"Even for you? Misty, your affraid of bug pokemon!" Ash grinned slightly at the anger beginning to make itself known in her eyes.

She sighed, trying to forget about what Ash had said. It worked for once too.

"Forget it."

'She didn't even scream at me yet..What did Jason do to you..?' Ash thought in his mind, growing a little angry at the small mention of Jason's name.

"What's wrong, Misty? There's nothing to be affraid of anymore.. Jason's gone." He attempted to comfort her. As much as he knew she needed to be held by him right now, he wouldn't dare attempt to tell her so.

"We don't know that, Ash. That's the part thats getting to me. What if he comes back? Then what?"

"Misty! Did you see the way he was shaking?! I highly doubt he will be coming back any time soon."

"He...still...can..." She clenched her fist shut tightly and turned her head to the ground, not allowing herself to look at him in the eyes.

"I won't let him. And you know that." He tried to look her seriously in the eyes, but she wouldn't look at him.

"But what....."

He interrupted her, "Nothing! Nothing will happen, Misty! That's it! It's over, okay?" Ash tried to speak softly, but her worrying over everything wasn't making anything better.

She nodded tiredly. Both unaware of the havoc going on just a couple of floors below them.

"HOW COULD YOU LOOSE CONTROL LIKE THAT?!" Aydee's voice could be heard yelling throughout the whole third floor.

"I Dont know. Relax. Things are going just as planned."

"THE GIRL IS AFFRAID OF YOU! THATS GOING AS PLANNED?!" She sighed exhaustedly, tiredly allowing herself to fall onto the bed.

"Things are going perfectly in order.." The look on his face screamed that he couldn't care less about what Aydee thought, which was getting her even angrier.

"Yup! Just as planned. You almost getting KILLED was perfectly in line with the plan." She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Ash can't kill anyone. It's not in his blood to kill..He wouldn't unless someone did something SERIOUS to Misty or someone he cared deeply about..That's when I'll run, okay?"

"Don't even say her name." She hissed.

"I just pushed her against a wall. That's it. I don't see what the big deal was. Then he came barging in out of no where and in seconds was strangling me. He's a quick one."

"The big deal is that its for sure he cares for her more then a friend. We have to get rid of her."

"The hell we do! She's mine, remember? We just need to improove our plan some more and go by that."

"You think? You are stupidier then I thought."

"Or we can not go with the plan at all." He shrugged.

"Of course we will!" Aydee snapped.

"Keep acting like your the boss of this, and we will drop the plan. We'll do more then just drop the plan..Maybe drop Ash also... Right off a cliff if you don't learn how to shut up." His voice held warning and threat. Aydee knew that if she didn't listen to him, Ash would die because of her. Jason never did joke with things like that.

She nodded quietly, turning to look in the other direction and away from Jason. He looked at her like he wanted her dead, and she didn't want to be looked at that way. Not now. She felt herself beginning to fear Jason, but quickly shook it off.

'He's harmless..I shouldn't be worried over nothing. Misty is the one who should be worried.'

Her thoughts were disturbed when Jason began to speak up again.

"Be awake tomorrow by five o' clock. They can't leave earlier then that to Darken City. I'll expect you up and ready. Now get some sleep, tomorrow will be a long day." She nodded as Jason turned and walked towards the door. He took one last look at her before he walked out and closed the door behind him.

"And your last." He said in a cold, low voice, as an evil smile spread across his lips.





"Misty?" Ash asked, turning his attention towards her again after he tried to understand what had happened today for the hundreth time.

"Hmm..?" She still wouldn't turn to look at him. She was completely focused on the bright, glowing moon seeming as if she wished it would turn blue.

"How did he find you?"

"What do you mean?" She finally turned to look at him with question in her eyes.

"I mean how did he find you. He asked me what your room number was when I bumped into him and I wouldn't even tell him enough to help him figure out the color of your hair.."

Her face suddenly held a mixture of confusion and fear when she began to understand what he had told her.

"He might of knocked on every single door on that floor..But how did he even know we were on this floor?"

"You think he knocked on every door from the first floor to here? He seems to lazy for that. But hey, he may have had loads of determination." Ash said that with half sarcasm in his voice..The other half was attempting to be serious.

"When he saw you he probably realised that this was the floor I was staying in. He knows your my best friend, so he had to figure I was here too."

Ash looked at her and shooked his head.

"He's too stupid to realise something as simple as that."

Misty finally let out a smile for the first time all day, realising to herself that Jason truley was about as stupid as a person could yet..And yet he could be so evil and life threatening..But stupid nonetheless.

"Mist, I'm not sure if I'm really starting to begin to go crazy or anything, but did you smile? My Gosh! I think my Misty has returned from the 'I am so very sad' world! What's up, baby?" He grinned at her, bringing her into a tight hug, not caring if she objected to it.

Both of them closed their eyes, savoring the moment of being close to eachother. It was a huge healing experience for both of them..And they both felt safer in eachother's arms..Especially Misty.

"I missed you, Mist."

"I missed me too."

He smiled down at her warmly. The time seemed to go much too quickly when he suddenly remembered a promise that was silently made to her the night before.

'Alright..Perfect time..Well it would be even more perfect if Jason was never born..Err..But you'd have to admit, it's still so perfect.. Ok..Clear your throat, and try to not look nervous..And as always, be charming..Got it? Okay..' He thought nervously.

Ash cleared his throat, signalling he was going to ask Misty something important and wanted her attention. She looked up at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.

"Um..The moon looks beautiful tonight.." He said nervously.

He saw the disappointment in her aqua eyes and wanted to cringe. They both had the same thing going on in their minds, but neither dared to say so.

'Coward.' He thought to himself.

He could easily picture Pikachu screaming that at him for a week.

Slowly, an idea struck him as an almost devilish smile made its way across his face. He felt himself become braver by the second. He figured that the desire he had to make her smile again must have been incredibley powerful to make him say what he was about to say next. He slowly leaned in closer to her and whispered into her ear,

"I think its beginning to look like a blue moon.."
