AN: Thanks for the reviews! I know, it's looking like an Ash/May story, but it might not be...It might not even be an Ash/Misty story...Heh...the EVIL!!!!!!!! Just read it for God's sake.
Misty galloped off, bawling her head off, barely able to see where she was going.
"I can't believe him...I thought he liked me the way I like him...Great, my make up is messed up...I should have gone with the water-proof mascara...but then again, I didn't know that Ash would smash my heart into a million pieces!" Misty sobbed to Pikachu who was holding on for his life on the saddle. She finally reached the trail and turned back onto it, still galloping. She finally reached the rest of the group, still sobbing like a baby. She quieted down and followed the group.
Meanwhile with Ash and May...
Ash was completely brainwashed. They were still making out, and Ash didn't know why. He didn't feel anything at all except for the soft feel of May's lips on his. There were no fireworks blasting in front of his eyes or anything like that. Ash pulled away, thinking he heard hoofs hit the ground. May smiled. Ash returned it weakly, removing his hands from her waist.
"Will you go to the dance with me Ash?" May asked, walking back to her Ponywa.
"Uh, sure." Ash felt sort of bad. After all, he had been trying to send messages to Misty that he liked her, but here he was, going out with May. But she seemed so happy that he said yes, so he just went along with it. "I guess we should get back." Ash and May rode all the way back to the trail and caught up with the group.
The ride ended shortly and they all went back to Ash's house. Misty didn't even look at Ash at all. She would burst into tears all over again. May however, was elated. Her first kiss was with Ash! She mentally screamed it over and over as she fell asleep. Misty cried herself to sleep, thinking about how May snagged Ash away from her.
The next morning, Misty woke up first and ate breakfast alone. She found Ash's address book and called Jake.
"Hello, Jake? This is Misty." Misty put Ash's book back down.
"Hey there! What's up?" Jake sounded excited.
"Uh, do you want to go to the dance with me?" Misty held back tears, not hearing Ash's footsteps coming down the hall. He stopped, listening in.
"Sure! That'd be great! I'll pick you up tonight at...how about at 6?"
"Alright, see you then Jake!" Misty hung up and rubbed her eyes. Ash waited a little bit and then walked in. He tried not to look crestfallen.
"Uh, good morning Misty." Misty didn't respond. Then Delia came in all bright and shiny.
"Good morning Ash! Morning Misty! Oh, by the way Misty, I booked us and May a little day at the spa before the dance and we'll go shopping for dresses. Are you going with anyone?" Delia opened the fridge.
"Yeah, I'm going with Jake." Ash hid his disappointment by chugging a glass of water.
"Oh, that's great! He's such a nice boy! And so handsome! I'm going with Prof. Oak (AN: I forgot his first name). But hurry and get dressed! We have to be there soon! May's already getting dressed!" Misty ran upstairs and put on some clothes. After they were all dressed, Delia took them to the spa. They got facials, manicures, pedicures, full body soaks, and massages. Misty even got temporary hair extensions that made her hair go down to her waist. After that, they went to the dress shop.
"Misty, this dress would look perfect on you!" Delia exclaimed. She passed Misty a red dress. It felt like it was silk and went to the middle of her knee and slanted at an angle down to her ankle. It was off the shoulders and went very low in the back. It seemed to have a Spanish flair. Misty shrugged and took it to the dressing room. May was trying on another dress in the room next to it. Misty put it on and gasped. It looked fabulous on her.
"Misty! Come on out! I want to see you!" Delia called. Misty stepped out of it with a smile on her face. "Oh, you look beautiful! Jake's going to love it!"
"Do you think so?" Misty looked in the mirror.
"I know so! Come on May! We have to get back soon!" May came out with the dress she was going to wear and handed it to Delia. Misty changed back into her normal clothing and Delia payed. They got back to the house at 5. The women put on their dresses.
Misty dove towards the bathroom to put on her make-up in front of the mirror, trying to fight May off. Misty put on bright red lipstick that matched her dress.
"Back off May! I have to put on my eyeliner!" Misty shoved her over.
"Stop! I have to put on my make up too!" The girls finally got their makeup intact, just at 6. Misty tucked a red hibiscus behind her ear. May also tucked a flower behind her ear, but it was a daisy that matched her yellow dress. The doorbell rang. Misty ran to get it. It was Jake. Misty was surprised how hot he looked.
"Wow Misty, you look great!" Jake handed her some flowers.
"Thanks! You do too!" Ash came down the stairs in a suit followed by May and Brock. Ash stopped in his tracks looking at Misty. Jake smiled a bright white smile. Misty's knees almost buckled, it was so beautiful. Even Delia, who was standing in the background, gave a mini-swoon.
"Are you all ready to go?" Ash finally came back to his senses.
"Yeah!" Brock exclaimed. He didn't have a date, but he was just going in the group. They all piled into the Ketchum's mini-van and Ash drove them to the hall. Jake put his arm around Misty's waist as they walked into the building that was blasting "Outrageous" by Britney Spears. Jake took her to the dance floor and they started to dance right next to where Ash and May had gone to. Jake smiled at Misty.
"He's a pretty good dancer..." Misty started to forget about Ash as the songs went on. She didn't notice when both Ash and May disappeared for a while and then reappeared. Finally, when a slow song came on, "She will be loved" by Maroon 5 (AN: I love that song so, so much!), Misty instantly cuddled up with Jake. He smelled nice, like soap. He held her closely. Misty noticed Ash looking miserable in May's arms. May looked happy, however.
"Misty?" Jake whispered in her ear.
"Yeah?" She stroked his chocolate brown hair.
"I'm having a great time with you..." He looked up at her and met her eyes. His eyes were blue also, but they seemed different.
"I'm having a great time too..." Misty leaned forward and kissed Jake. Ash watched with pain shooting through his heart. After the song ended, Ash excused himself and went outside. Misty noticed him leaving in a hurry and also excused herself.
"Ash! Ash, wait!" Misty tried to run in her high heels. Ash kept walking. "Please Ash!" Ash stopped.
"Why?! So you can rub it in my face that you're with one of my friends?!" Ash sounded angry. Tears were running down his face. Misty had never actually seen him cry.
"No! I just wanted to know why you're going out with May, the little bitch..." Misty also looked angry.
"She's not a bitch! She's acting like less of a bitch than you are Misty!"
"What?! You call stealing my clothes and making me go on that stupid ride even though I didn't want to bitchy?! What the hell are you talking about?!" Misty yelled. A few people turned their heads and walked on.
"I don't know! I don't know anything anymore! All I know is that I love you Misty! Okay?!" Ash turned away and looked down. Misty was skeptical.
"Oh, yeah right. May probably made you say that because she's directly behind that bush trying to scam me again, the stupid slut."
"I'm serious! If I wasn't, I wouldn't do this!" Ash stepped closer to Misty and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her closer, but Misty squirmed around.
"May come on out you—"Ash quieted her by planting a kiss on her lips. Misty balanced herself by putting her foot back; She felt like she was floating on clouds. Then she felt like she was being ripped away and punched in the face. Hard.
AN: Haha! Another cliffhanger, even though it seems a little obvious! Review without flaming! Love ya!
