The next morning Ash and Misty woke up in their own beds took a refreshing shower dressed and then ate they quickly headed over to Professor Oak's Lab with the egg in Misty's Arms.

::Knock:: {The door opened}

"Why. Hello Ash!" It was Professor Oak. "How's has my old Pokemon been?" he asked referring to Pikachu. 'Pika! Pika!' "I guess he's good!" he laughed as pikachu jumped onto the professor. "Hello Misty! How have you been?" "Pretty good professor." "Good. Good glad to hear that. So what brought you two over to my lab today?"

"Well you see professor me and misty were approached by this mysterious guy in a trench coat and a black hat in Viridian forest. and he gave us this." Ash gave him the egg. "WOW! IS THAT A POKEMON EGG!?" overly excited professor asked. "Actually, we were wondering if you knew." ash sweat dropped. "Oh. I can run some tests to find out the species, characteristics, element, and attacks of it. " "If you will allow me that is. I will be sure to take immense care. it will take only a few hours the most." "Thanks Prof." Ash said regaining he's consciousness.

::a few hours pass::

"Professor." Robby called one of Oak's assistants. "Yes Rob?" "We found out its characteristics, traits, and name but the element is beyond our studies. The only way for us to figure out the element of the egg is to wait until it hatches. otherwise we can say the egg ranges either from Psychic to Normal or from Ghost to Electric." "Very good Robby. and what did you say the name of the pokemon's name is?" "Oh. sir the name of the pokemon is 'Togepi' " "Togepi."misty and ash questioned together. "A new species, and its special attack is 'Charm' " "What does charm do?" asked ash.

"Charm: A special Attack used to attract two pokemon or people in love. Charm will not work if these two people are already in love the move will be affect less. "
Walking home they kept glancing at the egg for new changes.nothing. "I can't wait until it hatches!" said misty. "Soon I hope" said Ash. They walked inside the house and went up to ash's room for the rest of the evening until late dinner that ate by themselves. Ash's mom was at a Poker game. Once they finished the late dinner to themselves they went over to the TV and flipped through the channels to see what's on.

"Wow. Christmas is almost here" misty said watching the new Christmas commercials on TV. "Yup it is." "So ash what are you getting me?" Ash fell over anime style. "Get you something. I didn't know I had too?" he replied confused. "WHAT!? Ash Christmas is my favorite holiday! . gee thanks for thinking about me." What misty didn't' know was Ash had already bought a present for her awhile ago. he laughed to himself in his head. 'when I give her the present on Christmas I'll tell her how I fell. how I love her.' "Ash?" "Um. hello. anyone in there" misty tapped Ash's head looking for a brain. "ASH! HELLO!?"

He quickly snapped back into reality ".What? Oh. I was just thinking. sorry" he picked up the remote that fell from Misty's screaming and flipped through the channels again. "Well its either XXX with Vin Diesel or A Wonderful Life my mom's favorite all-time movie. " "How. about. A wonderful Life." "alright." Ash put on channel 23 HBO. "oh. its on it 15minutes. " "Wanna order more food?" asked ash even though they ate an hour ago. "I guess... " said misty. "Chinese?" "Sounds great" Ash picked up the phone and ordered some sesame chicken, a veggie egg roll with soy sauce, dim sum, and egg noodles. Ash hung up and told misty the food would be here in 20 minutes. He looked around the room at misty to Togepi the egg; at pikachu who was coming down the stairs with Bulbasaur pikachu must of let Bulbasaur out. "Ash I'm cold do you have another blanket?" "Yeah. sure Misty" Ash went into the hallway and pulled out a blanket from inside the linen closet and walked back into the living room. He put the blanket around Misty and the egg. 'she's so cute. she'll be a great parent to the pokemon when it hatches.'

The doorbell rang.

"that's the food" Ash opened the front door paid the Chinese delivery boy and came back sat down, though purposely he sat down closer to misty and the egg than he was before he stood up. With the movie now starting and misty had her veggie egg roll and ash with the sesame chicken, etc. They quickly devoured their meal ash before misty even though he had more food by this time they were half way through the intriguing movie. Misty was the first to fall asleep while the movie was on during he part where they are setting up the show for their retired General

*did she fall asleep?* before he knew it he took her example and fall asleep a few minutes later. Pikachu and Bulbasaur wake up to the music of the ending credits, it now being 12 o'clock and ash's mom was still playing poker when pikachu had an idea and I guess he told Bulbasaur all about it. Before you know it Bulbasaur was rearranging Ash and Misty so that ash was laying down on his back and misty was still asleep on top of him on the couch. The two pokemon grinned mischievously at each other then went up the stairs to get a good show when Ash and misty woke up.

Next morning Ash was first to regain his conscious from the slumber not opening his eyes fully yet realized that something was really heavy on his chest he opened his eyes

*Misty!? What is she doing on top of me?* *I'll get you for this pikachu.* he joked. Ash put his right free arm around Misty's waist and hugged her, then fell back to sleep. Ash's mom finally came home from her poker game with the ladies and walked in to find the two teens in the position they were in.

Misty was now stirring she started to stretch without realizing she was on ash. She sat upon his stomach. "I'm so warm" she said as she looked for ash around the house. "I wonder where ash is?" "I'm. yawn. right here.."he said sleepily she quickly looked down at him "Ahhh.!! Oh my Gosh!! Ash I'm so sorry!" she quickly jumped up and turned around and blushed uncontrollably bright. *How did we get..? Pikachu.* "So uh. Ash are we doing more training today?" "no. your look good. ah uh. I mean your pokemon look good." He tripped up on his words. "Today we can do anything you want to do." "REALLY?!" Misty sounded excited. "Can we go shopping?" she asked. "Sure why not." *Great now I can get Ash something for Christmas! * Misty thought. "Then we can get a late lunch early diner or a movie?" Misty didn't want to push it too far but she kept going. "Sure Mist" Said ash not realizing he was agreeing to practically a date with misty. {ah. Ash Ketchem so young so naïve}
Later they both got up still feeling a little weird about laying on each other form last night, ate breakfast, took a warm refreshing shower then headed out to Viridian City Mall when ash and misty met someone they recognize.
