"I'll take you.."



Last Time:


A man stepped out of his car. He looked kinda muscular but very handsome. He had jet black hair and charming brown eyes. In other words he looks very very cute.

'So this is where my mom works. Not to bad.' Ash said while looking at the place. He was looking around when he saw a girl crossing the street. She was running fast and probably didn't see the lights. A car was comming towards her really fast.

Without thinking Ash ran towards Misty to push her out of the way so that car won't hit her. She ended on top of him breathing heavyly.

She opened her eyes and he opened his eyes and their eyes met for the very first time.

Ash asked, "Are you all right.".

"Yeah.....thanks."

They still were looking at each other's eyes. 'Her eyes are beautiful', he realized.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?"

Misty realized they were still on the floor and decided to stand up. She helped Ash up.

"Thanks for saving me. You know."

"No problem just be more careful next time."

"Hey, I know how to be careful! It was the car's fault for not seeing me cross the street." Misty defended herself. Who does this guy think he is?

"Okay, okay I was just owwwww....."

Misty looked at him and saw he had a cut on his right hand. Maybe it was from the fall. 'Stupid, Misty why don't you watch where you're going?' she thought as she looked at him.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't me-"

"That's okay. Don't worry about I'm just glad you're okay."

Misty couldn't help it but give him a small smile. 'He looks kinda cute'

"Well I have to go."

"Oh, yeah", Ash said kind of sad she is leaving.

"Yeah well, bye and thanks again."

Ash watched her leave and wispered a "see you soon". There's something about this girl that is different from the rest of the girls. But what is it? 'Oh, well.'

"Have you seen Duplica or Misty." Erika asked Marie as they sat down on the chairs in the cafeteria. Erika was especially worried about Duplica. If she's not around you never know what she is doing. She can be sometimes.....crazy. If you know what I mean.

"No no I haven't seen niether of them since class ended." Marie replyed also getting a little worried.

Just then Misty came over to there table. She looked a little pale and her eyes were puffy.

Erika was the first one to speak as Misty took a the chair besides Marie. "What happened? Are you alright?"

"Yeah, Misty tell us what happened."

Misty wanted to tell her friends what happened, but she couldn't. She couldn't tell them that the person she loves broke up with her; and then that she started to cry and almost got killed by a car; but luckily a handsome man, she would probably never see again, saved her. It was all to much.

She needed to change the subject, but not seem obvious that she didn't want to tell them. She looked around the table. There was Marie, Erika, and......................"

"Where's Duplica?" Misty said somewhat glad she could change the subject. At least for now.

"We don't know. We thought she was with you."

"We were here waiting for you guys."

Misty tried to think were she could be, but it was Duplica we are talking about. She could be anywhere.

Marie looked worried and asked, "You think she is in some kind of trouble."

"No, Marie. She's probably in the library or something."

"Misty, Duplica never goes to the library. I think she got herself in trouble like last time and the last time before that. I swear. She never uses that brain of hers, she.........."

"Erika don't say that we have to be........"

"Don't wait for you friend Duplica, she is probably in Cerulean sleeping with Gary. Everybody knows she sleeps with everyone." Jessie said.

But of course, Jessie had to be listening to the conversation the trio were having and just said what she wanted to say.

"Jessie, that's not true."

"But of course it true, Misty. Like Erika said 'she never uses that brain of her' and got herself in a mess."

"Look Jessie why don't you get you and you're big mouth out of here or I'll make you're big mouth shut up for the rest of your life." Erika said as she got up and gave Jessie a look that said she isn't kidding around.

"Alright! Alright....But just remember that Duplica is a sl..."

"That does it." Erika chased out of the cafeteria. Jessie knew better to run.

"I hope what Jessie said is not true."

"Of course it's not Marie. Duplica knows better." Misty said trying to convince herself.

"Than why isn't she here?"

Misty was going to tell Marie again that Duplica wouldn't be stupid to do that, but was inturrupted by Mrs.Ketchum.

"Ohhhhhhh Ash. I can't believe it's you!"

Misty looked curious at who might Mrs. K be talking to. 'I didn't know she had a son.'

She looked at the direction Mrs.K was walking to and saw tall man. Mrs.K hugged him and...........

It was him.

Misty couldn't believe it was the same person who saved her just moments ago. What a shocker.

"I'm so glad to see you, Ash."

"And I'm glad to see you, Mom."

They hugged and that's when Ash spotted Misty. And he thought he would never see this girl's beautiful face again. What a small world it is.

Mrs.K missed her baby boy. She hasn't seen him for about a month now. He was off in school working on his Pokemon Master license. But know he's here.

"You must be tired and hungry. I'll go get you a drink."

Mrs.K left to prepare him a drink. Ash looked again at the table where Misty was sitting. She looked even more beautiful than before. He walked where she was.

Cassey was sitting on Rudy's lap, "I want to go out with you but I don't want to hurt Misty's feelings. She is the only friend I have."

"I understand but she has to understand that I love you."

"And I love you." Cassey said hugging him. 'Yes! I took Rudy away from that bitch of Misty. He is no longer yours Misty.' Cassey said in her mind with a cruel smile.

"Let me think about it, okay." Cassey gave him her puppy eyes which he couldn't resist. Too bad he didn't know that she didn't love him and that she just wanted to get him away from Misty so she can suffer.

"Okay." Rudy said as he began to kiss her.

"Hey, remember me?"

Misty looked up from where she was sitting and saw those cute brown eyes she thought were just gorgous.

"Hi." was all Misty could say.

"You know this guy, Misty." Marie asked confused.

Misty didn't know what to answer because that would mean she had to tell her how they meant, which will give away that her and Rudy broke up.

Ash bend down so he was eye level with Misty. "Yeah she knows me. But she didn't tell me her name was Misty."

"Well, you didn't tell me you're name was Ash."

"Well I guess we're even."

"I guess."

Ash was looking directly into Misty's blue eyes which made her blush. 'I have never seen such beautiful and loving eyes'

Erika came back to the cafeteria and looked mad. "So what are we going to do?"

Both Misty and Ash broke the eye starring and looked at Erika.

Marie decided to answer first, "First we have to make sure she isn't anywhere in the school."

"I did that already. She isn't anywhere."

Misty stood up, "Are you sure?"

"Yes! I looked everywhere. Every classroom, bathroom, locker, even the library and her car isn't here. She isn't anywhere."

"Then I guess we have to go to Cerulean and she if what Jessie said is true." Marie suggested.

"Yeah, but how are we going to get there? We don't have a car. It's Duplica the one who has it."

At this point Ash decided to but in. "I'll take you guys to Cerulean."

Misty turned around to face Ash and was suprised he said that. "You would?"

Ash couldn't help but feel attrative to this girl. She was so........

everything a guy can want.

He won't let her down.

"Yes. I'll take you." Ash confirmed.

Misty couldn't help but give him a hug. He felt so warm and she found herself being comfortable in his arms. Not even Rudy's hugs compare to what she was feeling now.

Ash couldn't describe this feeling. Sure he has hugged girls and he felt nothing. But this was different. Very different. All he knew was he didn't want the hug to end. But it did.

"Alright let's go!" Erika said.

And off they went to Cerulean City to find Duplica.


-To be Continue-


On next chapter:

"I heard Misty ended her relationship with Rudy."

"That's not true. I'm Misty's best friend and I know they are deeply in love. She told me she is." Cassey hoped that would convince Ash.

"I think I have a tiny crush on Ash." Misty admitted.
