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 almost let a gasp escape her lips, after realising what he had said and the meaning behind it.. He knew about what her sisters had once told her. She didn't know if he felt sorry for her, or actually wanted to do this. Part of her still couldn't grasp that he was doing this for her.

Ash was more nervous then ever. He had to grab a hold onto the railing to keep his hands from shaking. He didn't know why he was doing this or what other power possessed him to do this, except for his heart.

She looked into his meaningful chocolate brown eyes as a small smile spread across her face. It calmed him down more then she'll ever know. In his eyes, she knew he really meant it..He really did. Or did he? She felt happy, excited, nervous, scared, and in love all at once.

He looked deeply into her aqua-colored eyes. He knew she wasn't going to run away from him..He wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but he could have sworn that he saw love in her eyes.

He finally noticed Misty was blushing an incredible bright red and couldn't help grinning at her even more. Although, he was probably even redder then her. The uncomfortable silence added to how time was moving quite slowly. He blocked out everything from his mind except for Misty, searching her eyes for any bit of reluctance. He found none.

"As blue as the ocean." She said almost below a whisper, but in a dreamy tone of voice. He seemed as if he didn't want to wait for an answer..The look in her eyes told him everything. In just a matter of seconds, he had his lips pressed against hers.

A roaring electricity ran through their veins. Misty's arms reached behind his back and grasped onto him as she felt her entire body go limp beneath him. Her lips tingled with the gentle, caressing kisses, slowly becoming deeper. Ash felt all of his thoughts drift away as he did nothing but concentrate on the girl in his arms. He could feel her hands finally making their way wrapped around his neck, not willing to release him anytime soon.. His lips began grabbing for more of her taste, aching for the delights sending shivers running down his spine. As if she was a drug, he only longed for more.

'What are you DOING?! This is just first kiss and I'm kissing her like she's a chocolate dessert!' He scolded himself in his mind, but still could not find the strength to pull away from her.

"Oh..my..." Racheal stood wide-eyed staring at Ash and Misty.

They both pulled away from eachother as quickly as possible, their faces immediately glowing a bright red. Embarrassment swept through them after hearing Racheal's astonished voice. Embarrassment must be pretty powerful if it could tear Ash and Misty apart so quickly.

Misty made a weak attempt to act natural. A very, very weak attempt.

"Hey..err..Racheal..Me and Ash were just..Looking at the stars..You know, because they are shining so brightly..And are so..pretty.. And so much..err fun to look at..And so.."

"Shut up. Please. I think I am just going to walk away now..Very slowly..And pretend all of us did not see...err..do a thing tonight. And don't you dare say that nothing at all happened because I am not illusinating..Not yet, at least. I haven't been here long enough to illusinate..Or maybe......." Racheal's trailed away as she walked away from the two.

"You heard." Misty's eyes wondered away from him as a painful reality hit her.

"Err...Heard what?" He almost wanted to slap himself for saying that. He was playing stupid, and Misty wouldn't like it.

"You heard me..Telling Racheal about....." Her voice trailed off into a silence.. An angry silence as he decided he wouldn't try to fight it.

"I didn't mean to...Well, actually I did..At first I didn't mean to, though. My real intentions were to....", He paused for a second before continuing, checking for any signs on her face that she wasn't listening to him. When he found none, he continued.

"My real intentions were to just scare you guys a little since I saw the light was on..And I guess I decided on spying on you because...um...I felt like a very nosey person at the time...?" He sounded like he was unsure of himself.

"You intended to spy..And you heard something that you were never meant to hear.." Obviously, she was angry and him and herself.

"Come on, Mist..I'm your best friend.. We tell eachother everything, remember? It's not a big deal anyway..So what? Your first kiss was me. I'm sorry if I ruined your little special moment you wanted to have with Jason. Or any other guy like Jason, for that matter."

"Now your just being incredibley immature and stupid." She sighed.

"Am I really? If this had never happened today, you would have wanted Jason for your first kiss, right?"

"No.. Actually, I don't know who I would have liked for my first kiss. And my idea of a first kiss is..supposed to be romantic.. And with the man I love.." She partially lied, making Ash want to cringe. This night was romantic..And she did kiss the man she loved. Ok, so she lied completely.

Misty, herself, couldn't believe she had just said that. She knew exactly who she wanted as her first kiss...and that was Ash. Too bad Ash couldn't see it at the time.

'She..never..wanted me for her first kiss?' He tore his eyes away from her figure angrily.

"It was a waste then. A waste of time and emotion. Why didn't you just push me away or something if I'm not that 'special' guy. I could have been training Pikachu for the time I took to kiss you!" He shook his head, almost smiling at his stupidity.

"Oh! I get it! So you are looking at it as a chore? Well PARDON ME, Mr. Pokemon Master! Oh please forgive me for taking you out of your busy daily schedule to kiss me! I should be greately punished for taking about thirty seconds out of your extremely busy day. Oh HAVE MERCY! Why did you do it anyway? Out of pity? Did you actually take the time to feel BAD for someone? Oh for sha......"

He quickly interrupted her rambling.

"I did it because I wanted to! And not out of pity either. Gosh, you really need to learn when to stop talking sarcastically like that." He sighed exhaustedly, running his hand through his hair.

"Let me try asking again. Why did you do it, Ash? Why did you make my life more complicated then it already is?" She spoke more to herself then to Ash. She laid her head on her arms tiredly, facing downward, and allowing a small groan to escape her lips.

"I did it...because.. I..wanted.. to.... Not because I felt bad, okay?"

"Mmhmm.. Did it mean anything to you? At all?"

He knew this was a trick question.. If he said 'yes' she'd know how he felt about her.. If he said 'no' she'd think he did it out of pity.

"Err...It could have meant something.."

'Clever boy..' She thought in her mind, awaiting yet another idea to strike her. In no time, she had thought of something else to say.

"How do I know if It meant something to you or not? How do I know..if....you won't hurt me?" Misty's voice grew quieter with each word, hoping he didn't hear her last sentence. She'd been heartbroken once too many times. Each time Ash saw her crying over someone not worth crying over, he'd swear to himself over and over that he would never do that to her.

Both turned to face eachother, awaiting an answer. Misty's heart beat rapidly, being slightly affraid of what he would say.

"Then your going to have to trust me."





Misty found herself staring right up at the ceiling, still trying to find answers to questions she couldn't answer alone. She knew Ash had the answers. The short conversation they had only brought more confusion into her mind...Just thinking about the kiss and what it meant, gave her ten headaches at once.

'Could she trust him with her heart?' was the main question in her head at the time. Her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened. She sat up on her bed slowly, looking at the door. The was open, but no one stood there.

'Both of you are stupid.' Pikachu's voice entered the room as his yellow body followed.

"Nice to see you also."

'Don't make me shock you.' Pikachu showed little bits of electricity jumping around from his cheeks threateningly.

"I wouldn't mind. It may actually get my brain to work. I think I may even need to call up my sisters this time."

Pikachu rolled his eyes and made his way up onto the bed.

'Nothing can ever be that serious. He just kissed you.' Pikachu sighed.

"Word travels fast, eh?"

'Very. Now what's wrong with it? Me, Brock, and Racheal spent the last hour trying to talk to Ash and all we got was that he kissed you and it wasn't meant to happen.'

"Where are Racheal and Brock now? Why don't I get a whole news crew out here wanting to know my story?" She crossed her arms over her chest.

'They fell asleep.' He snickered at the annoyed look on her face.

'Besides,' He continued, 'They figured they wouldn't get anything out of you either.'

"Annoying, yet true. And Brock and Racheal are in the same room sleeping together? What about Ash..? And you..?"

'It's a big world, Misty. I'm going to sleep here..And I think Ash will too. Whenever he gets out of his 'I refuse to talk to anyone about Misty' stage.' He shrugged, seating himself on the bed comfortably.

Misty took a quick look at the clock that read '9:45PM'.

"You've got until I fall asleep..Which won't be that long."

Pikachu nodded.

'Got it. So, how long have you been thinking to yourself?'

"For..Eh.. the last four years." Misty shrugged.

"The boy knows how to confuse people better then a psyduck." She added with an exhausted sigh.

'..And what is confusing you?'

"...How many more years have you got to live for? This is going to take a while..Although, I think I've got a short answer for you."

'Whatever works.'

"Lets see.. He confuses me by what he does, what he says, how he talks, how he looks, and what he means.. "

'This.... is going to take a while...Oh boy..'

"Let's see. What does the little yellow mouse know." Misty taunted him, enjoying every second of it.

'I'm not a mouse.' Pikachu growled.

"Right, right. Of course. But what do you know, my little friend?"

'Ash is at the point of insanity..But when isn't he at the point of insanity?' Pikachu pulled a sheet over his head, trying to shield his tired eyes from light.

"No, no.. Exactly what did Ash say to you?"

'That he kissed you and it wasn't meant to happen. That's all he kept saying over and over. If I didn't know him for as long as I did, I would have assumed he was crazy. Lord knows at least Racheal thinks so.'

"But it was meant to happen!" Misty whined, while knowing that whining wouldn't get her anywhere. Pikachu looked at her like she was just as crazy as Ash.

'You two are meant for eachother..' He shook his head in astonishment.

She sighed, laying herself back down on the bed. The bed wasn't the most comfortable of places, but it was better then nothing. Although, Pikachu didn't like it much. He climbed onto Misty's small stomach, allowing the sheet to fall away from his face.

'He's not angry at you, so don't even ask.' Pikachu mumbled softly.

"Are you su..."

'Yes I'm sure.' Pikachu answered before she could finish her sentence.

"How do you know? I mean, how can you tell?" Her voice seemed to hold fear and worry if Ash would be hating her right now for some of the things she said.

Pikachu tilted his head to his right, staring at her.

'You really must be crazy. I've hung around with that boy for way too long. If he were mad of you, he would have stopped thinking about you a long, long time ago.'

"So.. then he must be furious at me to be thinking of me this much!"

Pikachu merely rolled his eyes at her in reply and made himself more comfortable on her stomach.

"I..I wish I knew.." She said softly.

'Knew what?'

"If he really thinks that the kiss meant something. I wish I knew if he did it because he felt bad..I don't want to believe that the kiss meant something, when to him it really didn't."

'I'm sure it meant a whole lot to him..Believe me, okay? And if you don't, I should warn you that I also have a speciality in scratching the life out of people.'

She held her hands up in defence.

"I believe in every single 'pika' and 'chu' that came out of your mouth."

He nodded approvingly.

'Good.' Pikachu allowd his eyelids to close and was about to fall into a peaceful sleep until he heard Misty's voice.

"Any last bits of advice before you pass out?" She contained her smile as he tiredly opened his eyes to look at her.

'Yes. Honesty is best. So be honest to Ash with everything. Even if you don't want to. If you lie to him about anything, it will come back to haunt you. And I'm not trying to sound scary either.. Just listen to doctor Chu on this, okay?'

She smiled softly at him.

"Dont I always? Hmm..You really should go for psychology. Such a clever pikachu, you are."

He was too tired to roll his eyes at her so he simply just closed his eyes again.

'Just call me 'Love Dr. Chu'.' Pikachu muttered softly before allowing himself to fall into a peaceful sleep.

"Goodnight, Dr. Chu."

She decided to not wait up for Ash. It was surpising enough that she had kept her eyes open for the time she had. She unknowingly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, far too tired to care she had left the light on. Only minutes passed and a huge bomb wouldn't be enough to wake her up.

"Ash.." She whispered softly, turning her head to the her other side. A small smile made it's way across her lips. From the look on her face, you could tell she was dreaming in heaven...Or at least that she was dreaming of Ash.

"Then your going to have to trust me."

His words echoed through her mind.

It was almost as if she felt her own heart decide that in that very second, she would trust Ash and place her heart in his hands..If he accepted her. But she trusted he would not hurt her..He wouldn't ever do that.. Right?





Warm sunlight made its way into the room, making up for the unpleasant rain and thunder yesterday. It settled upon the two occupants of the room, making them want to shield their eyes from the brightness.

She turned onto her stomach trying to hide herself from the sunlight, unknowing of the pain she was causing a little yellow creature who had once been lying on her stomach.

'I...cant...breathe...' Pikachu's voice was muffled under the sheets.

'...Loose..about...a hundred..pounds... Or..I will...shock...you..' Pikachu growled.

Misty groaned lightly, wanting to shield her eyes from the bright sun, but couldn't find the strength.

"Not..yet...Dont..go.." She muttered softly, obviously still deeply asleep.

'You will be going somewhere very, very away from here very soon if you don't get off of me!" Pikachu hissed, trying yet another weak attempt to breathe.

Misty's eyes slowly opened, but then closed after the sunlight struck her eyes painfully. Worry choked at her throat when she finally felt something wriggling around beneath her. After hearing the familiar pika's and chu's she figured out what..err who was under her.

'I will personally send you to electricty heaven if you dont get off of me!' Pikachu snapped, trying to charge up for a weak shock he wanted to use on Misty.

She smiled to herself pleasantly, pretending to ignore him.

"Such a sweetheart you are in the morning."

'Of course I am. NOW GET OFF!'

She groaned lightly before forcing herself to roll over, freeing Pikachu and allowing him to breathe.

He gasped for air furiously.

'Free...dom..'

"Annoy...ance." Misty rolled her eyes before streching her arms into the air, still laying down on the bed, wanting nothing but to go back to sleep.

'Your even scarier then Ash in the morning. I never actually noticed until now.'

"Go away."

'Sure. Unless you would rather check on Ash..He isn't here, as far as I know. I hope he liked sleeping on the floor.. Or with Racheal and Brock.'

Pikachu smiled annoyingly at her and the apologetic look in her eyes.

"No, no.. It's okay. Little battling yellow mouse needs his rest. I'll go check on Ash after I get...Uhm..Cleaned up.."

Misty looked over her figure in the near-by mirror. Her eyes fell over her messy and tangled hair which could be described with one word. Troll. She looked over her tired eyes and the rest of her figure.

'Did Ash ever tell you how beautiful you are in the morning? Note the sarcasm.' He snickered at her.

"Did you ever wonder what it's like to be killed with a toothpick?" She smiled evilly at him.

'I think I'll go now..' He held his hands in defence, walking backwards towards the door, being careful not to bump into anything on his way.

She sighed while nodding at him, half wishing for him to at least bump into a wall for her own amusement. After hearing the door open and close, she stood up to lock the door. She didn't want to take any chances while she was in the bathroom of all places.

"I have a feeling that this will be a very, very long day.." She sighed, turning on the cold water to it's freezing point.

"If cold water can't wake me up now I think I am going to have to rely on Pikachu for wake up calls." A smile twitched at her lips at the thought.

"Oh yeah. Electricuted in the morning. Nice wake-up call. And now I'm talking to myself. Great. I'm beginning to sound like Racheal." She shook her head, as to relieve herself of her thoughts. The freezing water made its way around her hands in mission of destroying every ounce of tiredness left in her body.





"Are you always on the seventh floor at five o' clock in the morning?" Ash mumbled as yet another one of her annoying giggles filled the empty hallways.

"Just to see you again! How is your day going? And where you headed to? Isn't your room in there?" Aydee pointed towards the half-open door that Ash had stayed in the night before.

"I was just going to check on a friend.." He tiredly ran a hand through his messy black hair.

"..Misty.." Aydee's tone of voice had suddenly become deeper and angrier.

"How smart of you. Then maybe you could tell me how you know what floor I'm on?" He crossed his arms over his chest, anxiously waiting her reply.

"Err.. I guessed.."

"Right."

'Whose she?' Pikachu's voice chimed in as his chubby little body made it's way down the long hallway.

'Thank God for Pokemon..' Ash thought to himself before answering.

"It's..Aydee.. Right? Is that your name?"

She looked at him dreamily as she nodded.

'He..remembered..my name....'

'..Did she escape from the nearest mental institution? I think she has a huge crush on you. Unless she looks at everyone like that..' Pikachu said with a small snicker, knowing she couldn't understand him.

Ash didn't even bother to reply, knowing that if he said anything back she would want to know what Pikachu had said in the first place.

"Is that yours? Or should I just trash it..? I know how annoying those things can...."

"The Pikachu is mine." He narrowed his eyes at her, as well as Pikachu as anger crossed both of their features.

"I should have known! He's so....err...cute..." She tilted her head to the side, looking over Pikachu.

'Can I shock her?' Pikachu asked with a devilish grin spreading across his face.

"No...Err..Not yet at least.." Ash bit his toungue after realising he talked back to Pikachu.

Aydee's eyes lit up, knowing what she would ask Ash next.

"What did he say?"

"Err..He wanted to know when we were..err.. leaving."

"Leaving? You won't be staying?" A fake sadness covered her eyes.

"I'm not planning to live here forever..."

Pikachu jumped up onto Ash's shoulder and sat there as an 'eww' look crossed over Aydee's face.

'He..touches it..' She thought to herself.

'At least you know you won't spend forever with her..You'll be spending it with Mi...' Pikachu stopped his words, figuring Ash would be angry that he was getting teased this early in the morning.

Ash was too tired to even roll his eyes at Pikachu, so he just shook his head.

"What did he say now?!" Aydee seemed so interested that Pikachu had the ability to speak.

"Err.. That he likes you a lot." Ash grinned at the furious look on Pikachu's face.

'I..will..shock you..badly..' Pikachu whispered through his clenched teeth, and low enough so only Ash could hear. Ash smiled uncaringly, but was too much in thought to notice that Misty was getting out of her room.

She could see out of the corner of her eye that it indeed was Misty. A million evil thoughts went through her mind at once when she saw how Misty's eyes lit up when she saw Ash. Only one of those vicious ideas seemed to stick with her, though.

"Well..Ash....", Aydee began, as a small devilish smile formed in her lips.

Misty's eyes darkened after seeing Aydee...seductively placing her hand on his chest?!

'She's here with.....Jason...And...touching Ash..And he doesn't care?!' Anger and jealousy flooded Misty as she slowly walked closer to them. Close enough to hear what Aydee said next.

"My apologies to Pikachu, but I believe I like you much more."

Ash was just about to back away after seeing Misty, but it was too late.

She suddenly wrapped her arms around Ash's neck and, with amazing strength, pulled him closer to her as she pressed her lips forcefully against his.
