The next morning they both awoke at the same time. Looked at each other and smiled. "I think we should head home." Said ash. "Yeah I think so too." "We should say good bye to Brock and thanks." Stated misty.

Ash and misty dressed within an hour and headed over to room 312 Brock's room.

They knocked on his door and to their surprise Daisy opened the door. "Daisy!" "What are you doing here?" "Oh... like I came over last night and like hung out with like Brock for like the night." "Don't worry. like nothing happened lil' sis." "Ok. but me and ash came to say goodbye and thanks for last night." Said misty. "I hope to see you guys soon" said ash to Brock and Daisy "Bye." and with that misty and ash headed home.

"Christmas is in two days!" exclaimed misty. "Yeah. it is. isn't it?" said ash.

*Christmas I'll tell her my feelings*

Ash thought, as he looked at misty,

* Christmas Day I'll tell him my feelings *

On the way home ash and misty stopped to look at the lights and gifts in the windows and all the Christmas toys waiting for children to play with them. "Oh. Ash this is my favorite time of the year. the snow is white when fresh from the sky, the Christmas Carolers, the taste of Christmas almost here. I love it." "Yeah this is a great time of year."

"Welcome home you two have fun?" asked ash's mom. "Yeah we did" they said and they told her all about meeting Brock and her sisters. "Well I'm glad you too had fun." "so misty after Christmas do you want to start the indigo league?" "Sure. why not." she sighed too interested in Christmas Eve being tomorrow. and ash. "Well I think we should get to bed we came home pretty late today and admit we're both tired..." said ash. "Uh-huh." Misty yawned. They headed upstairs to get some sleep.

They both couldn't sleep that night. Misty got up during the middle of the night and went to ash's room. "Ash are you awake." she said as she poked her head through the ajar door. "I can't sleep. can I stay with you?" asked misty. Ash sleepily said sure. "I guess were getting pretty use to sleeping in the same bed together huh."ash joked around and turned over in the dark to see the outline of Misty's face good thing ash couldn't see also. because Misty's face was really red from embarrassment.

The next morning was Christmas Eve. Unknowingly Ash had already bought misty a present without her knowing when he was with Brock in the mall a few days ago. and Misty secretly bought something for ash a long time ago before their trip to the mall. Both up and dressed went downstairs to find it snowing. "Good morning you two. or should I say afternoon? Its 1 in the afternoon ash." said his mom. "Sorry mom." "Well make yourselves breakfast I have to see professor oak I'll be home around 7. Its going to start to snow really hard don't' leave the house.Ash." she gave him a stern look. "I know mom." "Bye."

"Why did she stare at you like that."asked misty. "Never mind that. my mom is in one of those mom moods." Misty stood there for a minute in confusion then finally followed ash to the kitchen to get something to eat. "Ash it's 8:30pm your mom still isn't home and its starting to snow rally hard like tshe said. I'm worried." "Don't be she's with Professor O-" "AHHH!!" Misty screamed before he could finish his sentence all the light went out in the houe. "ASH!?" "It's alright mist' as he lit a candle to bring some light into the pitch black living room." "Ash you should light the fire" said misty calming down a bit more now. "Yeah your right."

Ash lit the fire when it suddenly brought the warmth and a glow into the once dark room. They sat down on the couch and talked. "This is some way to spend a Christmas Eve" Misty said Shivering "You're still cold?" ash asked. "When I'm I not?" snapped Misty. "Sorry." said ash as he stood up to get another blanket. He went into the hall and took out a sleeping bag out of the hall closet then he wrapped it around misty to keep her warmer. He sat down on the couch with her and Misty lied down on his lap ash put his arm around her shoulders. "Thanks ash."she nuzzled. A bit shocked by his arm but move closer to him. "Where has Pikachu been?" asked misty "I don't know truthly. I think he's sleeping in my room or eating ketchup." Said ash. "Wow am I tired." yawned ash sleepily. "Yeah me too."implied misty and they soon fell asleep Misty's head resting on ash's lap and dreaming about and what they'll say to each other tomorrow Christmas Day
