Togepi4eva: Great Internet buddy! Thanx for giving me directions on how to post, and hopefully you will get your new forums soon!!! I miss them!!!

Special Thanks:

**Anime Nienna: My firstest reviewer! You rock!! Thanks for the wonderful comments!

**Chibi-Suiko: You may be wondering "Why the hell am I an the 'special thanks' spot?" Welp, you may not know it, but you actually inspired me a lot! Your fic is one of the best that I've ever read! You're just about the best Internet buddy I've met. Ok, ok, I'm flattering you too much. Or am I annoying you? Embarrassing you? Too bad! Thank you for helping me get this far (tho you don't know it ^-^)!!!

Ok. Next comes...dun, dun, dun! The 'My Ideas' spot!

I'm thinking of another AAM fic. (That's probably all I'll ever write) I'm still trying to collect all those ideas swirling around in my head into a nice, solid, story. Whatever that means. Ash and Misty get *gasp! * handcuffed to each other! How will they ever survive? Only I know. Because, well, I wrote it. Ok, next!

~*~

When I first started writing this, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't know what was gonna happen at the end, or what REALLY 'wasn't supposed to happen'. I just wrote and fit the pieces together. (Do I make sense? Because I just read over that part and it really doesn't make sense. I'll give you a cookie if you understood it.) Anyways, like I said in some other chapter, I didn't know I was gonna get 70 reviews. I thought I'd get about, eh, maybe 20 or so. Then I went for 65, what I got was ~*70*~! I'm so very proud of myself, and I hope that in my later fics, I'll be just as good as Chibi (or Joy-Girl XD She's my idol). Ok,ok. I bet you guys aren't even reading this, even though I'm typing my heart out!! You just wanna get to the good stuff doncha? Well FINE!

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?!?!

Ch.10 – The End

The next day, after all the cleaning had been done, May decided to have a little barbeque.

"What's the occasion?" Misty asked, setting the chips on the picnic table.

"You and Ash of course!" she replied cheekily while flipping a burger.

Ash, Richie, Brock, and Max were all in the pool, Misty's sisters were sunbathing along with Pikachu and Togepi in their mini-sunglasses. Misty and May were in their bikini tops and shirts. After setting the table, Misty walked over to the pool.

"Guys!" she yelled over all the splashing. The boys stopped and turned to look at her. "The food'll be ready on 20." She smiled.

"Okay!!" they all shouted back and resumed their splashing. Ash swam over to the edge of the pool where Misty was standing, grabbed her legs, and dumped her into the pool.

"Ash!!! You baka!!!" she screamed after she had surfaced.

"What?" he smiled innocently. "I was just playing!" She blushed. How could she stay mad? The she grinned her evil Misty grin and dunked his head under the water. "Ha! You will pay Mr. Pokemon Master!" They continued to 'fight' till the food was ready. Everyone sat down at the picnic table and laughed and joked.

Without noticing, May and Richie reached for the last hotdog at the same time. Their hands brushed together.

"Oh! Sorry, you take it," Richie offered and blushed.

"No, no, you should have it," she replied, also blushing.

"Here, we'll split it." He took the wiener and cut it in half , giving May the bigger half.

She smiled and accepted with a blush. "Thanks!" Brock saw this and smiled to himself. *One pair down, one more to go. * Then he saw Lily laugh her musical laugh. *Make that two pairs... * He went back to eating.

Ash opened a can of Sprite. May watched and smiled evilly. Misty looked at Ash then May. She could tell what she was thinking.

"You wouldn't..." she whispered to May. May grinner wider and just when Ash held the can to his mouth and took the first gulp, May giggled and simply said, "Poo." Immediately after she said it, the soda showered out of his nose.

"Hey!" he cried. Everyone roared with laughter. Ash tried but failed to keep a straight annoyed face. He too started laughing, despite the small pain in his nose.
