Some Things Are Just Meant to Be
Ash- 18
Misty- 18 (a few months older)
"Ash!" Misty sighed, exasperated. "Are we lost again?"
"No way, Misty" Ash replied, struggling to work his way through the heavy brush. "There's a path beyond that big tree." He pointed to a huge oak tree a few hundred yards in front of them surrounded by large bushes.
"Are you sure?" Misty's green-blue eyes were skeptical. "Togepi's getting crank." She rocked the tiny egg Pokemon back and forth to stop its crying.
"Don't worry, Misty" Ash said, taking hold of one of her hands. "Nothing's gonna happen. I promise."
*Why did he take my hand?* Misty thought. *Why would he?*
Ash led Misty through the dense forest and soon came to the tree. Ash dropped Misty's hand and stared at the monstrosity before them. "I'm hungry" he announced.
"Where'd that come from?" Misty asked. Ash shrugged. "I'm just hungry," he said. Sighing, Misty plopped down in the grass.
"That's ok," she said. "I'm kinda wiped from that walking. Can we rest for a while?"
"Yea" Ash said. He sat down across from Misty and pulled some sandwiches out of his pack. They each sat there, eating and thinking their own thoughts.
*Misty's Flashback*
It was recess on Misty's first day of kindergarten. Everybody else was involved in games of tag, hopscotch or Simon Says while Misty was alone on the swings.
"Can I sit here?" a voice asked. Misty looked up, but for the life of her, she could never picture the kid's face. She knows he had spiky black hair... and hazel... no, brown eyes. Dark brown eyes.
They played together that day at recess, but the next day, the boy was gone. His mother, the teacher explained, wanted to keep him home to learn. Misty was sad. She'd miss the boy with the chocolate brown eyes. Eyes that looked...almost like...
*End Flashback*
Misty gasped softly. Was the boy Ash? Was it possible? She stole a glance at Ash, who was lost in thought.
*Ash's Flashback*
After his mom took him out of Viridian City Elementary, Ash stayed home to study. "It's nothing against the public schools" Delia said. "But I'd feel better if you were home schooled."
Home schooling was great! Ash and his mom went all over to many different places and studied the history of each one. Delia was a great teacher, but Ash just couldn't seem to forget about the little girl he played on the swings with. She had long red hair, the color of strawberries. In fact. her hair was almost the same color as.
*End Flashback*
"Misty" Ash said at the same time Misty said "Ash."
Misty giggled nervously and Ash cleared his throat. "You go first," he said.
"I know this is gonna sound..... odd" she said slowly, not looking at him. "But, what school did you go to?"
"I didn't" he replied. "Except..." he trailed off. "Was that you?"
"Viridian City Elementary?" Misty asked excitedly. Ash nodded. "By the swings, right?"
"Wow" Ash said. "Don't you think it's kinda weird that we were in the same kindergarten class?"
"Even if it was only for a day," Misty added. "But, yea, that is weird." She looked at him. "What do you think it means?"
"Maybe..." Ash said thoughtfully. "Maybe it means we're sposed to be together?"
That's chapter one! Hope you like!
