AN: Hello All! Next chapter! No flames please on the reviews! Mild nudity
in this chapter, but don't sue me. Thanks for the reviews! And I changed
the ages! Thankies Spiraea Kozak for helping me with the ages! I just made
it so that it was three years apart between May and Ash. Okay, so the ages
are...
May: 15
Ash: 18
Misty: 19
Brock: 23
And for the people who were wondering if it was a AAMayL or a AAMistyL, you'll have to read to find out. And in this chapter, there's going to be some extreme bitchiness. Just letting you know. AND NOW TO THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!! WEE!
Misty woke first on the day of the festival. She stretched up and stepped on the cold floor. She shivered and put on her Pikachu slippers.
Misty: Man it's cold...I guess I'll take a shower to warm up.
She walked to the bathroom and turned the shower on warm. As she slipped out of her clothing, she started to think about Ash. She stepped into the shower and grabbed the soap.
Misty's thoughts: That was strange last night... with that little loser May trying to flirt with him... but Ash was flirting with me for once... Was he just acting nice or does he actually want to be more than friends? I mean, us being friends, it's like on a sitcom, if a guy and a girl are best friends, they're automatically going to become boyfriend and girlfriend. But this isn't a sitcom. I just have to try harder to get the point across... maybe I should ask him to the big dance...
She got out of the shower, wrapped the towel around herself, and walked back to her room. She closed the door behind her and started to pick her outfit. It had to be perfect to get Ash's attention. She finally chose a short white skirt with pastel pink and yellow flowers and a tight yellow shirt that matched the yellow flowers in the skirt. She stood up and the towel fell to the ground. She just shrugged and walked over to get her lotion which was on the other side of the room. No one was going to see her anyways. The curtains were closed. All of a sudden, the door opened. She squealed and tried to cover herself. It was May.
Misty: Can't you knock?!
May: Whatever. What were you doing standing here naked?
Misty: I was getting dressed! Go away!
May: Well just letting you know, I'm asking Ash to the big dance as soon as he wakes up!
Misty: No you aren't! And quit staring at me! It's rude! And cold! Pass me my towel!
May: No! Oh, I think I hear Ash waking up... I'll be right back... let me take these...
(AN: The next things actually happened to me at camp.) May quickly grabbed Misty's bag, towel and clothes that she had picked out which were by the door and threw them down the hall and slammed the door in her face. Misty ran after her, but stopped at the doorway. Did she want everyone to see her stark naked? But then again, did she want May to ask Ash to the dance? She decided to take a chance. She tried the handle and it was stuck! Thankfully, May hadn't taken her trusty mallet from under the bed. Misty grabbed the mallet and whacked the door until it fell. Misty cautiously stepped out into the hallway, covering herself in key places. But wait! Where was her stuff?! She tiptoed around the house trying to see if she put it somewhere else. She had looked everywhere, even in the bathroom. Misty heard shuffling around and talking coming from Ash's room. She ran and hid in the pantry in the kitchen. More noises came from outside. It sounded like May's and Ash's voices. She listened in.
Ash: Why are you so sweaty May?
May: Oh, I was taking a jog around the outside of the house.
Then it clicked in Misty's head. May had put her stuff outside! Should she just step out of the pantry and run outside or just step out and tell Ash what was happening? Misty took a box of frosted flakes and a box of lime flavored cookies (AN: They're kinda good too! I've had them) and stepped out of the pantry.
Ash: Oh my god! Misty! What the hell are you doing?!
Misty: May took my clothes and put them outside!
Ash: So you're naked behind those boxes?
Misty: Yes Ash. I'm naked. NOW GO GET MY FUCKING CLOTHES!
Ash: Sorry. Just sit down...
Misty: Just go!
Ash smiled and Misty sat down on a chair. May smirked at her and Ash ran out the door to get her clothes.
May: Ha! Ha! Miss Naked!
Misty: Shut up you pervert!
May: Sure sure... You're lucky this time, I didn't get a chance to ask Ash to go to the dance.
Misty: As if he'd go with you! He's three years older than you!
Ash came back in with her clothes. Misty went to her room and quickly put on her clothes. By that time, Brock and Pikachu had woken up and had come downstairs.
Brock: Wow, you guys are already dressed. I guess I'll meet you guys there. You can go ahead. I guess I'll give Pikachu a B-A-T-H. He's getting sort of smelly.
Pikachu gave Brock a fearful look and sprinted under the table.
Brock: This might take a while...We'll be there in time for the water gun fight.
Ash: Oh, we're going to come back and change into our swimsuits so we can walk together.
Misty, Ash, and May left Brock and Pikachu behind and went to the festival where there was a competitive feeling in the air, not only between May and Misty, but to everyone because everyone wanted to win prizes. By that time, it was 3 in the afternoon.
Ash: Hey Misty, I bet you can't hit all three of those bottles of three times in a row.
Misty: I bet you 5 dollars that I can.
Ash: Okay. Bring it!
Misty threw the ball and it hit all of the bottles down.
Ash: Lucky throw!
Misty did it twice more.
Misty: Pay up Ash!
Ash sighed and reached into his pockets for his wallet. Suddenly, over the intercom, a man spoke.
Man: Alright people! The water gun fight will be starting in 45 minutes! Get ready to fight at the Pallet town pool!
Ash: Come on; let's get back to my house so we can change.
Misty: Ash! You have to pay me five bucks!
By then, Ash had already run off with May trailing behind him. Misty sighed and started to run after them. Misty caught up with them as they stepped into the house. Just as Misty was about to take another step, she fell down.
May: Oops! I'm sorry! Did I trip you by accident Misty?
Misty: Yeah, it must have been your big-ass feet!
May: Oh my Misty! Why are you so mad?
Misty: Don't play cute you little devil.
Misty stood and walked up to her room to change into her pink halter top bikini. Ash meanwhile, talked to May because he had worn his swim trunks to the festival and May had hers on under her clothes. May used this opportunity to flirt with him then ask him to the dance.
May: That's a nice shirt Ash.
He was wearing a baseball shirt.
Ash: Oh... uh... thanks...My mom got it for me.
May randomly laughed.
May: Oh Ash you're so funny!
Ash: What did I say?
May sighed; yet another failed attempt at flirting with Ash. Just then Misty came down the stairs and Ash forgot about May. May turned positively green with envy. Misty actually filled out the suit. May looked like a skeleton with two bumps that were supposed to be boobs. Ash's jaw dropped to the floor and he started to drool. Misty shot May a look of success.
Misty: Ash? Are you alright?
Ash: Oh, yeah... you just look...uh...pretty in that suit...Brock! Pikachu! Come on! We're ready to go!
Brock and Pikachu ran down the stairs. Brock's jaw dropped this time. Misty blushed. She didn't mind Ash looking at her like that, but Brock... it was like your older brother flirting with you or staring at your chest. It was just wrong.
Pikachu was wearing some little swim trunks. He flashed Misty a peace sign.
Ash: Woah thanks Brock... Pikachu looks really clean.
Brock: Yeah, I got shocked about fifty times, but he finally got in the tub when I gave him a bottle of ketchup to play with. Let's go.
Since the pool was only a block away from Ash's house, they all ran. The pool was really large and had been decorated with balloons. There were many water guns, water balloons, and hoses all around.
Ash: Oo, this is cool!
Misty and May gulped as Ash took off his shirt. This time, Misty started to drool like a rabid raccoon. His muscles were well defined, but not too beefy. His swimsuit was slung low on his hips. Ash smiled and opened up a bottle of sunscreen. He started to rub it on his chest and legs. Misty and May fidgeted with their hands. May decided to take off her tee shirt that was over her suit. Misty laughed out loud. May blushed, her jealous quotient percolating. Just because Misty had a better body than she did, Ash was probably going to ask her to the dance! Then May shook off that thought, knowing that Ash would forget about Misty eventually.
Ash: Hey, can someone help me put sunscreen on my back?
Misty/May: I will!
May: No I will!
Misty: I will!
Misty dove for the bottle and got it first. May looked like she was going to stab Misty with one of the water guns. Misty smiled and rubbed it on his back.
Ash: Thanks Misty. Do you guys want to swim? I see some of my friends from school that we can swim with. (AN: Okay, I know that Ash didn't really seem to go to school, but whatever.)
Misty: Sure!
Misty dove into the water, followed by Ash and May. Ash swam over to his friends with May and Misty right behind him.
Ash: Hey guys! Misty, May, these are Jake, Tobey, and Drake (AN: Hehe!). Jake, Tobey, Drake, these are May and Misty.
They murmured hello. Jake turned and whispered to Ash.
Jake: Dude, who's that chick in the pink suit. She's hot.
Ash: That's Misty.
Jake: Are you serious?! The Misty that traveled with you?! I thought she was shrimpy!
Ash: Well she changed...
Misty: So... uh...are you guys excited about the dance?
Jake: Oh yeah... I was wondering....do—ow!
Ash kicked him in the leg and shot him a look.
Jake: Uh... do you like to swim?
Misty: Yeah...
May: But she's not very good.
Tobey: Ooh, hiss!
He laughed.
Misty: I can swim fine May. Thank you very much.
Speaker: ATTENTION ALL!!!!! THE WATER GUN IS ABOUT TO START! PLEASE GET YOUR GUNS OR BALLOONS READY!
The pool had filled with people. Misty had a plan to get back at May.
Misty's thoughts: Hmm... If I untie little Ms. May's bikini top I can show everyone what she's made of...or what she's not! Ha! HA!
Speaker: Let the water gun fight begin!
All of a sudden, Misty was dunked under the water. She jumped up out of the water and ran to get a water balloon. She saw May and threw it as hard as she could at her head. It hit her and Misty dove into the water before May could see her. Ash however, saw her and swam as fast as he could under the water without running into someone's legs. He grabbed her waist and dunked her under the water. Misty opened her eyes under the water to see who it was, but Ash had already swum away. Misty decided to put her plan in action because May was really close to her. She went under the water and swam to her. She slowly undid the bottom ties of her suit so that May wouldn't feel them being loose. Then Misty stood up so that she could silently untie her top. May was too busy pelting Brock with water balloons and shooting her water gun to feel Misty's hands. Misty dove under water and swam away to the other side, getting out of the pool. Misty took a water balloon and yelled.
Misty: HEY MAY!
May looked up and saw Misty. Misty threw the water balloon across the pool and it hit May square in the face. May turned red with anger and started to swim across the pool to slap Misty, not noticing that her suit didn't swim with her. People started to laugh and May stopped, looking at Misty laughing her head off. Then she noticed that her suit was on the other side of the pool and screamed.
Misty: Oops! I guess your suit fell off!
Misty dove into the water. May's eyes were flaming as she put her suit back on. Ash felt bad that he had laughed, but it was pretty funny to him. After all, he used to prank people in the pool when he was in Pallet last time for the Flower Festival. He wondered who did it. Then it clicked, Misty had (AN: Surprise surprise.) to get back at May for taking her clothes. Although he thought it was a mean thing to do, May had taken her clothes first. He sighed and turned to Drake.
Drake: Dude, what the hell was that? How did her suit just fall off?
Ash: Misty untied it for revenge.
Drake: What happened?
Ash: See, this morning, May took her clothes and put them outside and she had to come out of her room butt naked to get them.
Drake: Ooh... did you see her? Like you know...
Ash: No man! That would be weird!
But for some reason, Ash sort of wanted to see her like that. When they first started to travel together, he had a huge crush on her. But when she had to leave, he stopped having feelings for her. He thought about her but never in a sexual way. Now that she's back, he's getting a crush on her all over again. He doubted that she had any real feelings for him back, which made him sort of depressed.
Speaker: TIME'S UP! FEEL FREE TO STAY HERE AT THE POOL AND SWIM OR GO TO MANY OF THE CLUBS AND RESTAURANTS THAT ARE SERVING FOOD ALL NIGHT! BE SURE TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL TOMMOROW AND HAVE SOME MORE FUN! THANK YOU!!!!
Ash and Drake stepped out of the pool. Misty walked up to them.
Misty: Hey guys! Wasn't that fun?
Ash: Yeah! Do you want to go to one of those clubs with me and the guys?
Misty: Sure! Where's Brock anyways?
Ash: Oh, he's over there with May.
Ash waved. Brock waved back and walked over to them followed by May and Pikachu.
Brock: Hey guys! What are we going to do?
Ash: We were thinking that we could go to one of the clubs tonight. Is that okay?
Brock: Sure! Maybe I can find a girlfriend!
Ash: Whatever. Let's get back to my house.
Drake: Cool, let's meet back here in 45 minutes. I'll tell Tobey and Jake.
Drake ran off. Ash, Pikachu, Brock, Misty, and May walked back to Ash's house to change. May was still very angry at Misty. Misty had it all: looks, talent, and a great personality. And worst of all, it seemed like Ash was starting to fall for her. But May didn't want to give up. During the trail ride the next day, she would have to get herself and Ash alone so she could tell him how she felt. Then he would sweep her up in his arms and give her a passionate kiss. Or it could totally fail. May went to her room and changed into a pink polo shirt and capris while putting a plan together for the next night.
Misty walked up to her room and started to change after securing her door to avoid any repeats of what had happened that morning. After choosing her outfit, cobalt blue top, black slacks, and matching kitten heel flip flops, she ran down the stairs where everyone was waiting.
Misty: Sorry I took so long. What club are we going to?
Ash was looking at a festival brochure.
Ash: Uh, I was thinking that we could go to this college bar for people 18- 22, but then May, Brock, and Pikachu couldn't go...
Brock: Oh, I'm fine. May and I could just go to some other club.
Ash: Oh! There's another place... it's for 15-25 year olds... I guess we could go there...
May: Yeah... but why are there so many different places with different age groups?
Ash: It's just for some safety thingy. They put all of the stuff in tents at the fairgrounds, they're not actual buildings. Are you guys ready? We have to be back by 10.
Everyone nodded as they walked out the door to go to the pool to meet Ash's friends. They were standing by the pool, waiting for them when they got there.
Tobey: Hey guys! Let's go. I found where it was.
Everyone followed Tobey to the tent where music was pumping out of it. When they stepped inside, they were blinded by laser lights and smoke machines.
Jake: Do you want to dance Misty?
Misty: Sure.
Ash stood looking uncomfortable as Jake and Misty went to dance. Tobey and Drake went to the bar to get something to drink and May, Brock, and Pikachu stood next to Ash.
May: Do you want to dance Ash?
Ash: uh... okay.
"Yeah!" By Usher was playing loudly. May and Ash walked to the dance floor near Misty and Jake. Jake waved as they started to dance. May was a good dancer. Jake smiled as he put his arms around Misty and held her closely. Misty smiled politely back. Ash looked at May.
Ash's thoughts: I wonder why she's been acting so strangely... I guess it's Misty being here...
May smiled at him and stepped closer to him. The song ended and "If I ain't got you" By Alicia Keys came on. Misty walked towards him. May grabbed his hand and Ash gave her a weird look. She let go.
Misty: Do you want to dance Ash?
May looked crestfallen.
Ash: Sure...
Ash gave May a half smile filled with some unrecognizable emotion. May walked away towards Brock as she fought the stinging in her eyes. Misty put her arms around Ash's neck and he put his arms around her waist. Misty smelled nice, like a cool ocean breeze. She rested her head on his chest.
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you.
By the time May got to Brock, she couldn't hold the tears back. She broke down. Pikachu hugged her leg.
Brock: What's wrong May?
May: I just hate her!
May sobbed loudly. Brock put his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the tent where there weren't many people and the mix of all of the music made one large noise.
Brock: Do you hate Misty?
May: Duh Brock! I've been trying to get her away from my Ash—Ah nuts.
Brock: Ash? You like him?
May: Don't tell anyone or I will KILL you. I've been trying to let him know ever since we started traveling, but he doesn't seem to be getting it!
Brock: Yeah, Ash is sort of dense. But just because Ash is friends with Misty doesn't mean that you have to go sabotage Misty's life. Ash is your friend
May: No Brock, you don't understand!
May sighed and walked back into the tent, wiping her tears away. By then the song had ended and "Gossip Folks" by Missy Elliott had come on. May walked over to where Ash, Misty, and Jake were dancing. May put on a fake smile, trying to think of what to do next. She wanted to ask him to the dance, but she had to find the perfect moment, one where Misty was near enough to hear, but not so close to interrupt her.
May: Can I dance with you guys?
Misty glared at her.
Ash: Sure.
They danced until it was nearly 9:45. Misty was very suspicious. May was acting way to nice. She even complemented Misty on her shoes. Misty kept her awareness up through the night. She looked at her watch.
Misty: Hey Ash, it's almost ten.
Ash: Oh shit, my mom hates it when I'm late. Come on! See you guys! Maybe we can do something tomorrow!
Ash grabbed Misty's hand and pulled her off of the dance floor. May followed them.
Brock: Do we have to go?
Pikachu: Pika pi?
Ash: Yeah, my mom's gonna kill me!
Everyone ran after Ash all the way to his house. They dove inside just as the clock clicked to 10:01.
Ash: Wow, that was close... I'm going to bed... see you guys in the morning...
All of a sudden, they heard a scream. Ash and Brock ran to see Delia standing in a huge puddle in the middle of Brock's room.
Ash: Mom, what happened?
Delia: Oh Ash, I'm glad you're here! One of the pipes that runs under Brock's room exploded. He'll have to bunk in your room tonight. You can pull out your trundle bed. We can get our plumber in here tomorrow.
Ash: Oh no, not that crazy Mario guy (AN: hehe!).
Delia: He does a good job Ash. I don't care that he's creepy... and wears a little red hat... and gives children seizures if they talk to him too long. Now get to bed.
Ash and Brock walked out of the puddled room.
Brock: You can use the bathroom first, unless Misty or May is in there.
Ash: Okay.
Ash walked to the bathroom after grabbing his pajamas. As he walked, he pulled off his shirt and watch. He saw Misty brushing her teeth. She shrieked.
Misty: God Ash! You scared me!
Misty hoped that he couldn't tell that she was blushing.
Ash: I'm sorry. Can I use the sink too?
Misty: Sure.
Ash wetted his toothbrush, put some toothpaste on it and started to brush his teeth. Misty looked at him and spit into the sink neatly. Then Ash spat his into the sink, spreading it all around the bowl of it. Misty rinsed her mouth and wiped it on a towel.
Misty: Goodnight Ash.
As she walked out, Ash noticed that her pjs said on the butt, "QUIT STARIN'!". He smiled to himself, rinsed his mouth, and wiped his mouth on his arm.
He went into his room where Brock was sitting on the trundle bed.
Ash: You can use the bathroom now.
Brock: Oh, I'm good. I used the half bathroom upstairs.
Ash: Oh... well... goodnight.
Brock: I have a question...
Ash: Go ahead...
Brock: Say that a girl liked you, but you didn't seem like you liked her back and that you liked another girl that she didn't like.
Ash: Uh... what?
Brock sighed and got under the covers.
Brock: She's going to kill me for telling you...May likes you.
Ash: She does? I thought so...
Brock: But she thinks that you like Misty... do you?
Ash blushed bright red.
Ash: Yeah... but don't tell her. Ever since I met her I have. But I like May a lot as a friend, just not in a relationship...
Brock: I guess that's why she's been trying to get at Misty ever since she's been here.
Ash: Yeah I guess... Don't tell Misty or I'll have to kill you.
Brock: I promise I won't tell. Good night Ash.
Ash: Good night Brock.
Brock fell asleep with a new promise to keep and a possible explanation to why he told Ash about May's secret.
AN: Good lord that was a long chapter. It may be a while before I update because I have to decide if it's going to be Ash and May or Ash and Misty... I want Ash and Misty but my cousin wants Ash and May...but if I do Ash and May then I'd have to make a complete turn in the story... Oh well... No flames please! If you do flame and it's an anonymous review I can just take it off anyways. BYE!
May: 15
Ash: 18
Misty: 19
Brock: 23
And for the people who were wondering if it was a AAMayL or a AAMistyL, you'll have to read to find out. And in this chapter, there's going to be some extreme bitchiness. Just letting you know. AND NOW TO THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!! WEE!
Misty woke first on the day of the festival. She stretched up and stepped on the cold floor. She shivered and put on her Pikachu slippers.
Misty: Man it's cold...I guess I'll take a shower to warm up.
She walked to the bathroom and turned the shower on warm. As she slipped out of her clothing, she started to think about Ash. She stepped into the shower and grabbed the soap.
Misty's thoughts: That was strange last night... with that little loser May trying to flirt with him... but Ash was flirting with me for once... Was he just acting nice or does he actually want to be more than friends? I mean, us being friends, it's like on a sitcom, if a guy and a girl are best friends, they're automatically going to become boyfriend and girlfriend. But this isn't a sitcom. I just have to try harder to get the point across... maybe I should ask him to the big dance...
She got out of the shower, wrapped the towel around herself, and walked back to her room. She closed the door behind her and started to pick her outfit. It had to be perfect to get Ash's attention. She finally chose a short white skirt with pastel pink and yellow flowers and a tight yellow shirt that matched the yellow flowers in the skirt. She stood up and the towel fell to the ground.

Misty: No you aren't! And quit staring at me! It's rude! And cold! Pass me my towel!

It sounded like May's and Ash's voices. She listened in.

May: Oh, I was taking a jog around the outside of the house.
Then it clicked in Misty's head. May had put her stuff outside! Should she just step out of the pantry and run outside or just step out and tell Ash what was happening? Misty took a box of frosted flakes and a box of lime flavored cookies (AN: They're kinda good too! I've had them) and stepped out of the pantry.
Ash: Oh my god! Misty! What the hell are you doing?!
Misty: May took my clothes and put them outside!
Ash: So you're naked behind those boxes?
Misty: Yes Ash. I'm naked. NOW GO GET MY FUCKING CLOTHES!
Ash: Sorry. Just sit down...
Misty: Just go!
Ash smiled and Misty sat down on a chair. May smirked at her and Ash ran out the door to get her clothes.
May: Ha! Ha! Miss Naked!
Misty: Shut up you pervert!
May: Sure sure... You're lucky this time, I didn't get a chance to ask Ash to go to the dance.
Misty: As if he'd go with you! He's three years older than you!
Ash came back in with her clothes. Misty went to her room and quickly put on her clothes. By that time, Brock and Pikachu had woken up and had come downstairs.
Brock: Wow, you guys are already dressed. I guess I'll meet you guys there. You can go ahead. I guess I'll give Pikachu a B-A-T-H. He's getting sort of smelly.
Pikachu gave Brock a fearful look and sprinted under the table.
Brock: This might take a while...We'll be there in time for the water gun fight.
Ash: Oh, we're going to come back and change into our swimsuits so we can walk together.
Misty, Ash, and May left Brock and Pikachu behind and went to the festival where there was a competitive feeling in the air, not only between May and Misty, but to everyone because everyone wanted to win prizes. By that time, it was 3 in the afternoon.
Ash: Hey Misty, I bet you can't hit all three of those bottles of three times in a row.
Misty: I bet you 5 dollars that I can.
Ash: Okay. Bring it!
Misty threw the ball and it hit all of the bottles down.
Ash: Lucky throw!
Misty did it twice more.
Misty: Pay up Ash!
Ash sighed and reached into his pockets for his wallet. Suddenly, over the intercom, a man spoke.
Man: Alright people! The water gun fight will be starting in 45 minutes! Get ready to fight at the Pallet town pool!
Ash: Come on; let's get back to my house so we can change.
Misty: Ash! You have to pay me five bucks!
By then, Ash had already run off with May trailing behind him. Misty sighed and started to run after them. Misty caught up with them as they stepped into the house. Just as Misty was about to take another step, she fell down.
May: Oops! I'm sorry! Did I trip you by accident Misty?
Misty: Yeah, it must have been your big-ass feet!
May: Oh my Misty! Why are you so mad?
Misty: Don't play cute you little devil.
Misty stood and walked up to her room to change into her pink halter top bikini. Ash meanwhile, talked to May because he had worn his swim trunks to the festival and May had hers on under her clothes. May used this opportunity to flirt with him then ask him to the dance.
May: That's a nice shirt Ash.
He was wearing a baseball shirt.
Ash: Oh... uh... thanks...My mom got it for me.
May randomly laughed.
May: Oh Ash you're so funny!
Ash: What did I say?
May sighed; yet another failed attempt at flirting with Ash. Just then Misty came down the stairs and Ash forgot about May. May turned positively green with envy. Misty actually filled out the suit. May looked like a skeleton with two bumps that were supposed to be boobs. Ash's jaw dropped to the floor and he started to drool. Misty shot May a look of success.
Misty: Ash? Are you alright?
Ash: Oh, yeah... you just look...uh...pretty in that suit...Brock! Pikachu! Come on! We're ready to go!
Brock and Pikachu ran down the stairs. Brock's jaw dropped this time. Misty blushed. She didn't mind Ash looking at her like that, but Brock... it was like your older brother flirting with you or staring at your chest. It was just wrong.
Pikachu was wearing some little swim trunks. He flashed Misty a peace sign.
Ash: Woah thanks Brock... Pikachu looks really clean.
Brock: Yeah, I got shocked about fifty times, but he finally got in the tub when I gave him a bottle of ketchup to play with. Let's go.
Since the pool was only a block away from Ash's house, they all ran. The pool was really large and had been decorated with balloons. There were many water guns, water balloons, and hoses all around.
Ash: Oo, this is cool!
Misty and May gulped as Ash took off his shirt. This time, Misty started to drool like a rabid raccoon. His muscles were well defined, but not too beefy. His swimsuit was slung low on his hips. Ash smiled and opened up a bottle of sunscreen. He started to rub it on his chest and legs. Misty and May fidgeted with their hands. May decided to take off her tee shirt that was over her suit. Misty laughed out loud. May blushed, her jealous quotient percolating. Just because Misty had a better body than she did, Ash was probably going to ask her to the dance! Then May shook off that thought, knowing that Ash would forget about Misty eventually.
Ash: Hey, can someone help me put sunscreen on my back?
Misty/May: I will!
May: No I will!
Misty: I will!
Misty dove for the bottle and got it first. May looked like she was going to stab Misty with one of the water guns. Misty smiled and rubbed it on his back.
Ash: Thanks Misty. Do you guys want to swim? I see some of my friends from school that we can swim with. (AN: Okay, I know that Ash didn't really seem to go to school, but whatever.)
Misty: Sure!
Misty dove into the water, followed by Ash and May. Ash swam over to his friends with May and Misty right behind him.
Ash: Hey guys! Misty, May, these are Jake, Tobey, and Drake (AN: Hehe!). Jake, Tobey, Drake, these are May and Misty.
They murmured hello. Jake turned and whispered to Ash.
Jake: Dude, who's that chick in the pink suit. She's hot.
Ash: That's Misty.
Jake: Are you serious?! The Misty that traveled with you?! I thought she was shrimpy!
Ash: Well she changed...
Misty: So... uh...are you guys excited about the dance?
Jake: Oh yeah... I was wondering....do—ow!
Ash kicked him in the leg and shot him a look.
Jake: Uh... do you like to swim?
Misty: Yeah...
May: But she's not very good.
Tobey: Ooh, hiss!
He laughed.
Misty: I can swim fine May. Thank you very much.
Speaker: ATTENTION ALL!!!!! THE WATER GUN IS ABOUT TO START! PLEASE GET YOUR GUNS OR BALLOONS READY!
The pool had filled with people. Misty had a plan to get back at May.
Misty's thoughts: Hmm... If I untie little Ms. May's bikini top I can show everyone what she's made of...or what she's not! Ha! HA!
Speaker: Let the water gun fight begin!
All of a sudden, Misty was dunked under the water. She jumped up out of the water and ran to get a water balloon. She saw May and threw it as hard as she could at her head. It hit her and Misty dove into the water before May could see her. Ash however, saw her and swam as fast as he could under the water without running into someone's legs. He grabbed her waist and dunked her under the water. Misty opened her eyes under the water to see who it was, but Ash had already swum away. Misty decided to put her plan in action because May was really close to her. She went under the water and swam to her. She slowly undid the bottom ties of her suit so that May wouldn't feel them being loose. Then Misty stood up so that she could silently untie her top. May was too busy pelting Brock with water balloons and shooting her water gun to feel Misty's hands. Misty dove under water and swam away to the other side, getting out of the pool. Misty took a water balloon and yelled.
Misty: HEY MAY!
May looked up and saw Misty. Misty threw the water balloon across the pool and it hit May square in the face. May turned red with anger and started to swim across the pool to slap Misty, not noticing that her suit didn't swim with her. People started to laugh and May stopped, looking at Misty laughing her head off. Then she noticed that her suit was on the other side of the pool and screamed.
Misty: Oops! I guess your suit fell off!
Misty dove into the water. May's eyes were flaming as she put her suit back on. Ash felt bad that he had laughed, but it was pretty funny to him. After all, he used to prank people in the pool when he was in Pallet last time for the Flower Festival. He wondered who did it. Then it clicked, Misty had (AN: Surprise surprise.) to get back at May for taking her clothes. Although he thought it was a mean thing to do, May had taken her clothes first. He sighed and turned to Drake.
Drake: Dude, what the hell was that? How did her suit just fall off?
Ash: Misty untied it for revenge.
Drake: What happened?
Ash: See, this morning, May took her clothes and put them outside and she had to come out of her room butt naked to get them.
Drake: Ooh... did you see her? Like you know...
Ash: No man! That would be weird!
But for some reason, Ash sort of wanted to see her like that. When they first started to travel together, he had a huge crush on her. But when she had to leave, he stopped having feelings for her. He thought about her but never in a sexual way. Now that she's back, he's getting a crush on her all over again. He doubted that she had any real feelings for him back, which made him sort of depressed.
Speaker: TIME'S UP! FEEL FREE TO STAY HERE AT THE POOL AND SWIM OR GO TO MANY OF THE CLUBS AND RESTAURANTS THAT ARE SERVING FOOD ALL NIGHT! BE SURE TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL TOMMOROW AND HAVE SOME MORE FUN! THANK YOU!!!!
Ash and Drake stepped out of the pool. Misty walked up to them.
Misty: Hey guys! Wasn't that fun?
Ash: Yeah! Do you want to go to one of those clubs with me and the guys?
Misty: Sure! Where's Brock anyways?
Ash: Oh, he's over there with May.
Ash waved. Brock waved back and walked over to them followed by May and Pikachu.
Brock: Hey guys! What are we going to do?
Ash: We were thinking that we could go to one of the clubs tonight. Is that okay?
Brock: Sure! Maybe I can find a girlfriend!
Ash: Whatever. Let's get back to my house.
Drake: Cool, let's meet back here in 45 minutes. I'll tell Tobey and Jake.
Drake ran off. Ash, Pikachu, Brock, Misty, and May walked back to Ash's house to change. May was still very angry at Misty. Misty had it all: looks, talent, and a great personality. And worst of all, it seemed like Ash was starting to fall for her. But May didn't want to give up. During the trail ride the next day, she would have to get herself and Ash alone so she could tell him how she felt. Then he would sweep her up in his arms and give her a passionate kiss. Or it could totally fail. May went to her room and changed into a pink polo shirt and capris while putting a plan together for the next night.
Misty walked up to her room and started to change after securing her door to avoid any repeats of what had happened that morning. After choosing her outfit, cobalt blue top, black slacks, and matching kitten heel flip flops, she ran down the stairs where everyone was waiting.
Misty: Sorry I took so long. What club are we going to?
Ash was looking at a festival brochure.
Ash: Uh, I was thinking that we could go to this college bar for people 18- 22, but then May, Brock, and Pikachu couldn't go...
Brock: Oh, I'm fine. May and I could just go to some other club.
Ash: Oh! There's another place... it's for 15-25 year olds... I guess we could go there...
May: Yeah... but why are there so many different places with different age groups?
Ash: It's just for some safety thingy. They put all of the stuff in tents at the fairgrounds, they're not actual buildings. Are you guys ready? We have to be back by 10.
Everyone nodded as they walked out the door to go to the pool to meet Ash's friends. They were standing by the pool, waiting for them when they got there.
Tobey: Hey guys! Let's go. I found where it was.
Everyone followed Tobey to the tent where music was pumping out of it. When they stepped inside, they were blinded by laser lights and smoke machines.
Jake: Do you want to dance Misty?
Misty: Sure.
Ash stood looking uncomfortable as Jake and Misty went to dance. Tobey and Drake went to the bar to get something to drink and May, Brock, and Pikachu stood next to Ash.
May: Do you want to dance Ash?
Ash: uh... okay.
"Yeah!" By Usher was playing loudly. May and Ash walked to the dance floor near Misty and Jake. Jake waved as they started to dance. May was a good dancer. Jake smiled as he put his arms around Misty and held her closely. Misty smiled politely back. Ash looked at May.
Ash's thoughts: I wonder why she's been acting so strangely... I guess it's Misty being here...
May smiled at him and stepped closer to him. The song ended and "If I ain't got you" By Alicia Keys came on. Misty walked towards him. May grabbed his hand and Ash gave her a weird look. She let go.
Misty: Do you want to dance Ash?
May looked crestfallen.
Ash: Sure...
Ash gave May a half smile filled with some unrecognizable emotion. May walked away towards Brock as she fought the stinging in her eyes. Misty put her arms around Ash's neck and he put his arms around her waist. Misty smelled nice, like a cool ocean breeze. She rested her head on his chest.
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you.
By the time May got to Brock, she couldn't hold the tears back. She broke down. Pikachu hugged her leg.
Brock: What's wrong May?
May: I just hate her!
May sobbed loudly. Brock put his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the tent where there weren't many people and the mix of all of the music made one large noise.
Brock: Do you hate Misty?
May: Duh Brock! I've been trying to get her away from my Ash—Ah nuts.
Brock: Ash? You like him?
May: Don't tell anyone or I will KILL you. I've been trying to let him know ever since we started traveling, but he doesn't seem to be getting it!
Brock: Yeah, Ash is sort of dense. But just because Ash is friends with Misty doesn't mean that you have to go sabotage Misty's life. Ash is your friend
May: No Brock, you don't understand!
May sighed and walked back into the tent, wiping her tears away. By then the song had ended and "Gossip Folks" by Missy Elliott had come on. May walked over to where Ash, Misty, and Jake were dancing. May put on a fake smile, trying to think of what to do next. She wanted to ask him to the dance, but she had to find the perfect moment, one where Misty was near enough to hear, but not so close to interrupt her.
May: Can I dance with you guys?
Misty glared at her.
Ash: Sure.
They danced until it was nearly 9:45. Misty was very suspicious. May was acting way to nice. She even complemented Misty on her shoes. Misty kept her awareness up through the night. She looked at her watch.
Misty: Hey Ash, it's almost ten.
Ash: Oh shit, my mom hates it when I'm late. Come on! See you guys! Maybe we can do something tomorrow!
Ash grabbed Misty's hand and pulled her off of the dance floor. May followed them.
Brock: Do we have to go?
Pikachu: Pika pi?
Ash: Yeah, my mom's gonna kill me!
Everyone ran after Ash all the way to his house. They dove inside just as the clock clicked to 10:01.
Ash: Wow, that was close... I'm going to bed... see you guys in the morning...
All of a sudden, they heard a scream. Ash and Brock ran to see Delia standing in a huge puddle in the middle of Brock's room.
Ash: Mom, what happened?
Delia: Oh Ash, I'm glad you're here! One of the pipes that runs under Brock's room exploded. He'll have to bunk in your room tonight. You can pull out your trundle bed. We can get our plumber in here tomorrow.
Ash: Oh no, not that crazy Mario guy (AN: hehe!).
Delia: He does a good job Ash. I don't care that he's creepy... and wears a little red hat... and gives children seizures if they talk to him too long. Now get to bed.
Ash and Brock walked out of the puddled room.
Brock: You can use the bathroom first, unless Misty or May is in there.
Ash: Okay.
Ash walked to the bathroom after grabbing his pajamas. As he walked, he pulled off his shirt and watch. He saw Misty brushing her teeth. She shrieked.
Misty: God Ash! You scared me!
Misty hoped that he couldn't tell that she was blushing.
Ash: I'm sorry. Can I use the sink too?
Misty: Sure.
Ash wetted his toothbrush, put some toothpaste on it and started to brush his teeth. Misty looked at him and spit into the sink neatly. Then Ash spat his into the sink, spreading it all around the bowl of it. Misty rinsed her mouth and wiped it on a towel.
Misty: Goodnight Ash.
As she walked out, Ash noticed that her pjs said on the butt, "QUIT STARIN'!". He smiled to himself, rinsed his mouth, and wiped his mouth on his arm.
He went into his room where Brock was sitting on the trundle bed.
Ash: You can use the bathroom now.
Brock: Oh, I'm good. I used the half bathroom upstairs.
Ash: Oh... well... goodnight.
Brock: I have a question...
Ash: Go ahead...
Brock: Say that a girl liked you, but you didn't seem like you liked her back and that you liked another girl that she didn't like.
Ash: Uh... what?
Brock sighed and got under the covers.
Brock: She's going to kill me for telling you...May likes you.
Ash: She does? I thought so...
Brock: But she thinks that you like Misty... do you?
Ash blushed bright red.
Ash: Yeah... but don't tell her. Ever since I met her I have. But I like May a lot as a friend, just not in a relationship...
Brock: I guess that's why she's been trying to get at Misty ever since she's been here.
Ash: Yeah I guess... Don't tell Misty or I'll have to kill you.
Brock: I promise I won't tell. Good night Ash.
Ash: Good night Brock.
Brock fell asleep with a new promise to keep and a possible explanation to why he told Ash about May's secret.
AN: Good lord that was a long chapter. It may be a while before I update because I have to decide if it's going to be Ash and May or Ash and Misty... I want Ash and Misty but my cousin wants Ash and May...but if I do Ash and May then I'd have to make a complete turn in the story... Oh well... No flames please! If you do flame and it's an anonymous review I can just take it off anyways. BYE!
