See...This is the kissy chapter. And you'd better review. Because questions are answered in the next one. I own Codi and Ashley. That's it. The rest is Satoshi Tajiri's. And I own the Goldenrod festival. Here ya go. Review!

Misty saw her friend Codi ahead. She smiled and walked up to her.

"Hey! You know what I heard-" Codi began.

Misty smiled wryly.

"Lemme guess. It's that Ash Ketchum's in town, right? Because I could've told you that!" Misty snapped.

Codi backed up.

"Sorry! Anyways, you're the one who named your daughter after him!" Codi responded.

Misty rolled her eyes and sighed into her hand.

"I was in excruciating pain, outside, drenched, frozen, tired beyond believe, dirty, formerly lost in the woods, and I hadn't eaten anything for days. I wasn't thinking straight at the time," Misty scowled.

"Hey! But that was before he became famous. So why?" Codi questioned.

Misty rolled her eyes and a man grabbed her and pulled her along with him. Codi and Ashley trailed behind. Misty struggled against his grip.

"Let go of me! HEY! Where are you taking me?!" Misty yelled.

The man turned to face her and stopped walking.

"You're Princess Goldenrod," The man replied simply and Misty paled.

She just knew that Ash was going to be the Prince. She remembered the radio show they had done all those years ago and shivered. She prayed that she wasn't right. However, when the man led her unto the stage, there he was. Misty swallowed and tried to play it off as if it were nothing. But, for the one time in his life she wished he could get stupider, he didn't.

Misty stood there, smiling. Her smile was not genuine and neither was her enthusiasm. Cameras flashed and she was ordered to pose with Ash in many different postures. Finally, they told her to kiss him.

"NO WAY! I won't do it! Do I look like I give a care about Mr. Pokémon Master over here? No, I don't! I wouldn't kiss him if you paid me! Now sod off and go harass someone else! And, he's not even a Pokémon Master anyways! He hasn't even beaten the Unbeatable Four!" Misty screamed, taking everyone aback.

Everyone blinked and cameras flashed. Ash surprised her by kissing her and the cameras flashed even more furiously. Misty was in shock for a minute before she abruptly pushed him away and slapped him hard across the face. Then she tried to run from the stage, ignoring the snapping cameras. He grabbed her arm and she struggled against his strong grasp.

"Ash! Let go of me!" Misty hissed.

Ash shook his head furiously.

"ASH KETCHUM! YOU MORON! LET GO OF ME! Stupid, dense, idiotic, WANNABE POKEMON MASTER! LET GO OF ME NOW! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY FACE ANYMORE! GO AWAY! JEEZ! CAN YOU EVER LEAVE ME ALONE?!" Misty screamed loudly.

Everyone was shocked and Ash spun Misty to face him.

"No, Misty. I will not leave you alone. Whatever happened to your dreams? You were going to become a Water Pokémon Master! But then you left and I don't hear from you for four years! What's that about, Misty? You're one of my best friends! Best friends don't up and leave each other! Why did you leave anyways! You've never explained that anyways!" Ash grunted.

Misty swallowed and stomped on his foot, running away and getting lost in the crowd. Ash jumped around on one foot for a few seconds and then flashed the crowd a smile and a victory sign before running after Misty. Misty, however, ran down an empty alleyway, meeting up with her daughter, Codi, and a few other friends of hers.

"Hi, Juli, Codi, Starr, Ashley," Misty tried to chirp cheerfully.

However, Misty saw something that scared her. Duplica. Misty's eyes widened. She darted through an alleyway. But that just worsened her luck because then she saw Whitney. She ran faster and saw Brendan and Sakura. She ran, still harder, passing Tracey by. But soon she was trapped in an alley, surrounded by Brock, her sisters, and, of course, Ash.

Misty sighed and Ash sent her a questioning look.

"Why'd you leave, Misty?" Ash barked.

Misty swallowed.

"Can I speak to you in private, Ash? There's no way I'm talking to you with these people listening on me!" Misty whispered.

Ash nodded and pulled Misty in a side alley along with him.

"I repeat, why'd you leave, Misty," Ash repeated.

Misty sighed and played with the crown atop her head. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but said nothing. She merely moved closer to Ash. Ash kept backing up and Misty kept moving closer until Ash was pressed against the wall and Misty against him. She gave Ash a look she couldn't decipher and passionately kissed him.

Ash wasn't prepared for it and it took him a while to respond. However, by the time he had, Misty had broken the kiss. She had also climbed a fire escape and walked two apartment buildings away from him. But she was still close enough to call out to him.

"I live in the city, Ash. I couldn't survive here if I didn't pick up a few things," Misty called.

Ash looked confusedly at her, but by then, she was gone. He scratched his head confusingly and left the alley to come face-to-face with a little girl.
