CHAPTER 3: Ash is a mental case

I exploded. "NO MOTHER I WOULD NOT LIKES SOME "YUMMY CUPCAKES". OH, BUT I'M SURE MISTY WOULD LOVE SOME JUST LIKE SHE LOVES ME. AND I'M SURE YOU WOULD LOVE TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU NEVER TOLD ME!!!!!!"

My mother frowned at me while Brock hid over in a corner, afraid he would meet with my rage as well.

"Ash Ketchum!" my mother cried "You stop screaming at me like a mental case right this instant. Of course I knew that you and Misty loved each other, but it is not up for me to tell you. You two have to let each other know." her expression softened "Now, are you ready to tell Misty how you feel?"

I looked at my feet. I had no idea how to tell Misty. I wasn't even sure I could look at her anymore. Not after I found out she loves me. I was happy that she did, but I was scared to death. Would anything come out if I tried to talk to her? Would I make things worse? Should I buy her flowers? A ring? Oh God. I'm lost.

Quietly I replied, "No mom, I don't think I'm ready to tell Misty. I have no idea what to do...."

"Oh Ash, don't give me that," my mother said "You have known Misty for years now. You know her. You can't wait until it's too late. You get off of your moping butt, go get Pikachu and the rest of your Pokemon, and GO FIND MISTY!"

Brock decided it would be a safe time to butt in. "Yea Ash. You know she loves you, so you don't need to worry about an answer. I can come along to help you. If anyone knows Misty as much as you do, it's me. You can count on ol' Brock!"

I sighed; with those to pushing me I had no choice. "Fine, fine. I'll tell Misty. But everything has to be perfect. If it's not....well..." I glanced over at Pikachu, who was sleeping by the stairs. They both got the hint.

"Ok hun," my mother replied happily "I'll go pack you things and you two will be off in a jiff! Don't forget to have a cupcake!!!" And she was the one who called me a mental case...........

2 Hours Later

Brock and I were sitting on the couch waiting for my mother because she insisted that I couldn't pack a bag to save my life....Oh well....

"Do you think your mother will ever be finished?" asked Brock, checking his watch. "She's been packing one bag for two hours!"

"Well, you know my mom Brock, she..." I was cut off as she burst through the front door, my packed bag in her hands.

"Ok Ash, I'm finished!!" She said with a cheery voice

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Where did you go? I thought you were upstairs packing my bag."

"Oh, I was," she replied "But I had to run to the store to pick up a few things..."

"Right...Well, I guess Brock and I are going to hit the road. I'll hopefully see you soon Mom!" I said as I walked over to her and took my bag. I gave her a hug and motioned for Brock to follow me. "Come on Pikachu, time to go!"

"Piiika..." he said sleepily as he jumped on my shoulder.

"Goodbye Mrs. Ketchum!"

"Goodbye Mom!"

"Bye Brock, bye Ash, see you soon!"

And with that, we were on our way to meet Misty. Well, I thought we were. Half way down the street, Brock let me know that he had a different destination first.

"Hey Ash, we need to stop in Pewter City before we head to Houen. I need to let Cera know where we are headed. Would you mind if I asked her to tag along?"

I shook my head. "That would be fine Brock.....just make it fast ok? I want to see Misty, I miss her."

"I know Ash, I know."

As we turned down the road that would take us to Pewter City, all I could think of was a red-headed girl and what she might be doing right now.....
