Peggi- Okay, well, here is the revision of chapter 3! Didn't do much work to this chapter, and I didn't add anything new. It is still very short, sadly.

CHAPTER THREE - LOST

It took a while, but Ash finally got the three to take a nap. He had to think about what to do. He knew he had to go to pallet town for help, but he didn't know what he'd do once he got there. With Professor Oak a chibi, and Gary as his enemy, there was no telling what could go wrong. It was now just a little less than four hours until they had to depart for the boat which would take them to Pallet town, and Ash figured he'd let his friends sleep just a little while longer.

Tracey was the first to stir. He lifted his head up, and greeted Ash with a big smile.

Tracey-Hewwo. I'm hungwy. (Hello, I'm hungry)

Ash-Uh. . .do you like fried chicken?

Tracey-Ooo! I wove fwied chikens! (Ooo! I love fried chicken!)

Ash-Well, um. . just let me wake the others up and I'll take you guys to a chicken restaurant I saw a few blocks away.

Ash shook Brock awake, and every time he touched him, Brock smacked his hand. Finally, he was able to wake him up, and then he went in to wake up Misty. She was lying on the couch, and he thought she looked absolutely adorable. He gently shook her, and her eyes fluttered open.

After much effort, Ash was able to walk with all three chibies to a restaurant that served fried chicken. As he ordered their food, he told the three to sit down at a booth. The first five minutes they spent there were wasted trying to get Misty, Tracey, and Brock to agree on where to sit. First they all wanted different booths, and then they argued on where they got to sit, all of them wanting to sit next to the window.

Finally, they were all done eating, and they were about to walk out of the restaurant.

Misty-I gotta go to da bafwoom. (I have to go to the bathroom)

Ash-Okay then. It's over there.

He pointed to a room which said 'Ladies' on the door sign.

Misty-You gots to come wif. So da monstas don't git me. (You got to come with. So the monsters don't get me.)

Ash turned a couple shades of red as he walked to the bathroom with the young girl.

Ash-Why don't we go in here?

Chibi Misty's eyes got wide as she looked on at the door Ash was gesturing to.

Misty-But dat's da boys bafwoom. (But that's the boys bathroom.)

Ash just sighed and walked into the girls' bathroom, praying there weren't any girls in there who would think he was a pervert.

Luckily for him, he and Misty were the only ones in the bathroom. He waited for her to finish and then made sure she washed her hands when she came out of her stall. When they walked out into the main room of the restaurant, to Ash's horror, Tracey and Brock weren't there. He searched desperately, calling out their names, until he realized how much attention he was drawing to them. He walked up to one of the workers at the counter and asked if she had seen them.

Worker-No, I'm sorry. I haven't seen them. If I do, I'll let you know.

Ash quickly took Misty by the hand and walked quickly out of the room with her. He was not just worried, but completely terrified. By now, they could be anywhere . . .or with anyone, and the thought of two of his best friends being kidnapped was one of the worst thoughts he could think of.
