Chapter 9: Revelations

"Buddy, you're lucky she turned out the way she did. If she was fat then you'd be in trouble!" Brock laughed.

Ash had gotten back to London one week ago and he had already started working hard to make up for the two weeks he lost. He and Brock were heading to the office.

"Brock, you only go for the physical appearances." Ash mumbled.

"Isn't that what you are doing? You aren't even looking at the other one." Brock teased as he ruffled his dark hair. He always tried but it would never stop being spiky.

"Who.Misty?" Ash asked.

"Misty? Who is this Misty?" Brock asked slyly.

"Misty is our childhood friend." Ash answered.

"You really had an interesting childhood. Tina on one side and Misty on the other!" Brock mused.

Ash glared at Brock.

"Okay, I'm just joking. So tell me how she was." Brock said.

"She knows me so well. She knows what I like to eat and what my favourites are. She is such a nice girl. Misty really is a great friend." Ash explained.

"Misty! By the way you were talking, I thought it was about Tina." Brock laughed as he walked towards the tall office building looming over them.

Ash stopped dead in his tracks. What did Brock mean?

Brock turned around when he noticed that Ash wasn't behind him. He realized that Ash had stopped walking and that he was two meters behind him.

"Ash are you coming?" he asked.

"Coming!" Ash called back. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"You have no mail." The computer blared.

Ash leaned back on his chair. His office desk was pretty messy stacked with papers and files but he really didn't want to clean it now. Right about then, he was in need of someone to talk to besides Brock. He needed someone who would listen to his every thoughts without interfering, someone calm and trustworthy, someone like.Misty!

Ash knew it was just a silly promise. How could Misty actually be here in London when he wanted her to be? But he really wished that she were here.

Suddenly a familiar smell in the air caught Ash's attention. It smelt like chili chicken! Ash got up and slowly walked out his door leading to the main work area where everyone else was. He soon spotted Brock.

"Hey Brock, home-made lunch today?" Ash asked, hoping he could have some chili chicken.

"No, I'm eating burgers," Brock replied.

Ash continued to the front desk where he spotted a person looking out the huge window back-faced towards him.

"Hello," Ash called out.

Slowly the orange-haired figure turned around.

"You.? What are you doing here?" Ash exclaimed as the figure's face came into view.

"Chili chicken?" Misty said as she walked towards Ash and held up a package.

"Oh god, and I was just thinking about you!" Ash exclaimed.

"Didn't I tell you? When you miss me, just close your eyes and think of me and I'll be there. So here I am!" Misty exclaimed.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Mmmmm, chili chicken in London! Mind-blowing!" Ash exclaimed. He swallowed his bite and continued eating.

Misty started to laugh.

"So when is your interview?" Ash asked.

"Tomorrow," Misty replied

"And then." Ash said.

"Well I was thinking. Since I've come all this way, I thought I would stay for a week. I'll go shopping for everyone." Misty said.

"Shopping later.you're in my town and I'm going to show you around. No work for one week, I'll be responsible to show you London City!!!" Ash exclaimed.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Ash, can we go in there?" Misty asked as she pointed to the big church ahead of them. For the past couple of days after her interview, Misty and Ash had gone around all of London City to look at the different attractions and sights.

"Sure," Ash answered as he led her inside the church.

"Ash this is such a lovely church." Misty whispered. It was breath taking. The windows were all made of stained glass and every picture was put for a purpose.

"It is. I come here every Sunday." Ash said as both walked down the aisle towards the front.

Ash and Misty got down on their knees, placed their hands in a praying manner and closed their eyes.

Absent-mindedly out of habit, Misty began to hum the tune Ash had sent to her long ago.

At first Ash didn't recognize it. Suddenly it came to him. BANG right on the head. He looked at Misty who still had her eyes closed as memories ran back into his mind.

How did she know his favourite food?

How did she know his favourite book?

How did she know this tune?

Tina never seemed to remember anything from the letters. Why?

There was only one reasonable answer to all these questions. Tina hadn't written those letters.

Ash turned his face forward again trying to sort things out in his mind. Misty finished and got up. She walked back up the aisle when she heard the tune being hummed by.Ash!

"Oh no, what have I done." She thought as she looked down.

Ash slowly headed towards her, his face drawn tight with anger.

"Tina doesn't even know this tune. There are basketball posters in your room. Every Sunday, you always went to the church when I was there. On your bookshelf, there is a copy of, "The Heart's Relationship". You know my favourite food. None of these things.Tina knows none of these things." Ash whispered angrily as he circled Misty, stopping right in front of her as he studied her face.

"Tina isn't different from her letters. Tina is different from your letters. It was you who wrote them." Ash continued.

Misty couldn't hold them in anymore. She really had to let her tears fall but not in front of Ash. Slowly she continued to walk away from him but Ash grabbed her back and pulled her back violently.

"You have to tell me! Why did you lie to me?" he asked as his voice began to rise. "Why did you play this cruel joke on me? Why did you play with my heart? Why Misty? Why?" Ash yelled as he let go of Misty.

"I'll recognize you the instant I see you. Your image is in my heart. Isn't that what you wrote? I was waiting Ash, but at the airport, the day you came, you just walked right past me. You fell for Tina's beauty right away. The truth is that we want the one we love to be the most exotic, the most beautiful. But that isn't me Ash, that's not me. Tina isn't admitting it but I know that she loves you and you know it to." Misty whispered as tears fell down her face.

"This love is not right! This love was never Tina's to begin with! Tina will have to understand that I fell in love with the person who wrote the letters and that wasn't her. If we turn this lie into the truth, then we will suffer, you, Tina and I. There is only one truth in this whole mess of lies." Ash said. He took Misty's face into his hands and looked deep into her eyes.

"The truth is that I love you. I've always loved only you, only you. We had to come together. You coming to London for the interview and humming that tune, that all happened for a reason. It was destiny that bought us together. I love you Misty."

A\n: I'm done!!!!!!!! No, not the story, just the part where you know this stuff happens. But I still got half of the story to right. What's gonna happen to Tina? Will the family agree to this arrangement? What is Misty gonna say to Ash? To find out, you gotta keep reading!!!!!!!!!! See you all later!!! Remember to R&R when you can!!!!!!!!!
