I don't own Pokemon. I do own a large collection of Gamecube games

**Misty's house**

"That's...that's great..." Misty replied after Ash had gotten done with his explination of why he was out all the way in Cerulian. Still, for some reason, she didn't seem to happy. "So just you and Brock...any one else...like...another girl?"

"Well maybe May if we can find her. I figure that," Brock cut off Ash's reply with an elbow to the stomach."Whaddya to that for?"

"We figured that you had a life, unlike the two of us. But if you do wan't to come with us, we aren't going to stop you." Brock replied.

Misty smiled. "Really? Definetly! I'm sick of my sisters always picking on me, and for one thing, I'm bored here! In fact," Misty reached out a hand from across the table and mussed Ash's hair, "I miss being lost by Ashy-boy's directions."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" yelled Ash. Then with a hrumph, he replied, "If you do wan't to join us, you'd best be getting ready. I'm planning a trip to Mount Silver and now with the equipment that we have, we're going to be leaving soon, so if you are going to be having second thoughts..."

Ash was suddenly brought to his knees by Misty's almighty mallet. "Are you possibly hinting that you don't want me joining?" Misty growled with a forced smile on her face.

Ash gulped and nervously shot out, "Of course not! I mean, what adventure would be complete without the wonderful Misty?!" Misty, obvioiusly satisfied with Ash's awnser smiled for real and walked off. "I'll meet you boys at the edge of town by one of the fountians! See ya!"

With that Misty shooed the boys out the door and she went to go pack. Yes, it was good to be back together again."

Outside Brock laughed. "Nice play, Shakespere! Next I suppose you'll be telling Misty how beautiful she is."

"Shut up. I didn't feel like being hit with that dammed hammer again. I swear one of these days I'm going to throw that thing in the ocean. See how tough she is without it." And with that Ash walked to the car grumbling and growling. When Brock got into the car, Ash started it and then asked, "By the way, Brock, why'd ya invite her?"

"Ash, look me in the eye and tell me that you didn't miss her and that you don't like her, at least as a friend."

To this, Ash had no reply. He couldn't.

"Exactly. The girl missed us badly, I could tell. She missed you most of all. Serioiusly, Ashy boy? Someone has a girlfriend before I do..."

Ash didn't say anything in return. Just smacking Brock upside the head was awnser enough. They pulled out of the Cerulian Gym parking lot and drove off to the Pokemon Center. **So guys, is Misty coming along?**

"Yeah. She is. She said she is going to meet us on the outskirts of town. Might as well stop at the Pokemon Center, rest for a bit, and meet the wildcat."

**Wow, the way you say that you make it seem as if you like her.**

"AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!" yelled Ash. "I DON'T LIKE MISTY!!!"

**Cerulian Outskirts**

"Where is that Ash...I swear, if he left me behind, I will hunt him down and kill him. Or at least maim him badly..." Muttered Misty. It was 6:00 and she had been waiting for an hour. I mean, come on...We were such good friends...don't be so mean...

Just then, a black converable pulled up into the parking lot. It was a park where one of the five fountians of Cerulian that surrounded Cerulian city. Out stepped Ash, Pikachu and Brock. Ash ran his fingers through his raven black hair and looked around.

"Yoohoo!" Misty called over to Ash. He wheeled around and waved to Misty. She ran up to the boys and replied, "You ready to go?"

"Yeah, but Misty? Not that I don't want you to go with us, because, believe me, I love having the old gang toghether again, but...won't your sisters miss you?"

"Thanks for the concern, but they accepted the fact that I wan't to be with you guys again." Misty looked at Ash's convertable. "Nice. I like it. Could you pop the trunk so I can put my bags in there?"

"Uh, yeah. Hold on." Ash popped the trunk and loaded Misty's bags.

"So who's driving?" Misty asked.

"Me of course. It is after all, my car." Ash replied.

"Ok, so I get to sit up front." Misty stated.

"But I was up there first!" Brock protested.

"You got to sit up front to here though!" Misty countered.

"I don't care! I was here first!"

"I still get to sit here! Right Ash?" Asked Misty, putting on a pouty face.

"Come on Ash man, I was there first!"

HOW 'BOUT THE BOTH OF YOU SIT IN THE BACK, AND NO ONE SIT'S UP FRONT!?" yelled Ash. This shut up the both of them. Ash sighed. "Sorry, but I can't hear myself think with all this arguing. How bout this. Misty can sit up front Brock until we get to the next town. Then you sit up front until the next time, and so on and so forth."

Misty and Brock nodded and Misty got in next to Ash. Ash started the car and began to pull out. Brock streched and Misty laid her head on Ash's shoulder, making him a bit nervous.

This is more like it... thought Misty contented.
