When your dreams come true

Chapter one: Memories

"Another long day over!" Misty said as she stretched and leaned against the chair. "Go home sis'!" Lily said in a reassuring tone. "Thanks Lil'!" Misty said smiling "I can really use a good hot bath." she added. "Misty you need to relax! Why don't you go to the cinema with a friend or something?" Lily asked looking at her sympathetically. "Please, not again." Misty said in an exasperated tone. "Come on Misty! It's been ages since you and your friends Brock and Ash last meet!" Lily looked at her with puppy dog eyes, trying to convince her. "Oh, OK! I'll talk to Brock!" Misty said because she knew that her sister would never give up. "Great! If you need I day off just tell us!" Lily said excitedly. "I don't need one.But thanks anyway!" Misty said as she left the Gym.

********************************************************************* Misty was in her apartment, taking a relaxing hot bath. "Maybe Lily's right! I think meeting Brock will be fun! But I'm not so sure about Ash.He's probably still travelling." she though "And even if he's not travelling I don't think that I can face him." Misty said, tears starting to fill her eyes.

Flashback "Ash I need to talk with you." "Sure Misty! What's up?" It was just before Ash's final battle. Misty had to tell him the truth. She couldn't take it anymore, being with him, trying to hide her true feelings. "Well Ash, I need to tell something very important." They were sitting in a bench, in a garden that surrounded the building. "Ok Misty.You can tell me!" Ash said starting to look worried. Misty took a deep breath and gathered all the courage she had. "Ash.I love you!" she said looking at Ash, a bit nervous and afraid. "I love you too Misty!" Ash said after an awkward silence. Misty was thrilled and was about to ask why didn't he told her that earlier when he said: "You know, we are friends for 7 years and despite all our arguments you are my best friend!" Ash said in a strange voice. "Yeah, of course, your best friend." Misty repeated in shock. That wasn't what she expected to ear. "Misty they're calling me for my final battle, I gotta go!" Ash said looking at the buildings entrance. "Will you come to watch me?" he asked. "Of course Ash." Misty said trying to hold the tears. "I just. have to go to the bathroom." "Ok! I'll see you and Brock after the match." "Yeah sure.Oh, and good luck!" Misty said trying to use a cheerful tone. "Thanks!" Ash said before disappearing with the men that were calling him. She started crying the moment he left. "His best friend." she thought "Why did I ever thought that he could love me?! I'm so stupid." After a few minutes she remembered that he was expecting her after the battle. "I gotta be there to support him.And this might be the last time that I see him battling." she thought. Misty had decided to return to Cerulean City after Ash's final match. When she said this to Brock he said that he was planning to do the same thing. "I think my father can use my help! He must be exhausted!" he said with a grin. And that's what they told Ash after he won the Johto League. And that was the last time she saw them. Almost a year ago.

********************************************************************* Misty was already sitting in her bed, looking at the phone. She had just finished talking to Brock. He told her that Ash was doing great, he had started dating a girl that was also in a pokemon quest, so they travelled together now. She also found out that he was still in Johto so he wouldn't be able to meet them. "Fortunately!" Misty thought. She still remembered that last argument she and Ash had before she and Brock returned to Kanto.

Flashback "Why are you leaving me?!" Ash asked surprised. "I need to help my father Ash, he has to run the gym and take care of all my brothers and sisters! And believe me when I tell you that it's not an easy task!" Brock said "What about you Misty? Your sisters don't need your help at the gym!" "Ash I'm not useless you know!" she said angrily "No you're just a Tom-boy with a bad temper!" he said sarcastically. "Oh yeah? And you're just a stupid, dense brat that doesn't understand NOTHING!" "Oh yeah?" "Yeah!" "You know, I'm really happy that you're leaving!" "You know what? So am I!" "Oh come on guys! Ash, you know we're going to miss you." Brock said trying to end the argument. "I'll miss YOU Brock, not HER!" Ash said angrily "You're so childish Ash Ketchum!" Misty said "I am not!" "Yes you are." "GUYS!!!!!!!!!" Brock yelled

"I'm still angry with that brat!" Misty said "Probably because he's just to stupid to understand that I really like him."
