Ash looked at Misty and he turned totally red in the face. He was so nervous. He didn't know what to tell Misty. Should he tell her how he felt? "Um, well Misty I said, you um.." he began. "Wouldn't lose the special place you have in my heart beacse er, I love you, as a, I love you as a sister," he studdered.

Misty smiled but in her mind she was mad. Oh wonderful! He loves me AS A SISTER. Then he will never love me in any other way so I will never have him!!! I feel so upset now. I got to go home. I want to be alone. I feel so heart-broken! She thought. Then she looked up at Ash. "I've er gotta go home, but I'll see you tomorrow or whenever.." she told Ash.

Ash stopped her. "But Misty, you CAN'T go home," he said.

Misty gave him a weird look. "And why is THAT?"

Together Forever

Chapter Six: Misty's Depart, With A Broken Heart!

Ash looked at Misty. "It's a huge snow storm. If your going to go home, at least let me take you home," he said.

Misty smiled. "Alright, but really Ash it's only just two houses down the street, I mean I can handle it.." she told him.

"Are you sure?" Ash asked her. He didn't want anything to happen to Misty but he also felt stupid at this moment. He had told Misty that he loved her as a sister. What if she had feelings for him too, and now she thought he never loved her in THAT way. Well, Ash thought Misty didn't have any feelings for him so he just shook those thougths out of his head.

Misty nodded. "Yes Ash," she said.

Ash smiled. "But call me when you get there," he told her.

Misty nodded and left.

Ash went over and lid down on his bed. Then there was a knock at the door. "Come in," Ash yelled. Then a girl walked in Ash's room. It was a girl that Ash had known even longer than Misty but she had moved away seven years ago. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. "Sarah?" Ash asked.

The girl ran over to Ash and hugged him. "Yes, Ash it's me..." she said.

Ash hugged her back. "Wow Sarah, you are so beautiful," Ash told her.

Sarah smiled and looked at Ash. "Thanks," she said. "I think your hot,"

Ash blushed. He and Sarah was very close. He never did tell Misty about Sarah because they met one day and they really didn't get along. Nor did Ash ever tell Sarah about Misty. He didn't want to risk losing neither one of them. Ash loved Misty a lot but when he hugged Sarah he felt the same feeling only it was stronger. Maybe Sarah was the girl for him, just maybe... "Um, so Sarah, are you er, seeing anyone?" Ash asked.

"Well, no Ashy," Sarah winked. "You?" She asked him.

"No....." Ash said.

Then Sarah put her hands on Ash's shoulder's and she placed her lips on top of Ash's. Giving Ash a hot passionate kiss.

Ash forgot all about his thoughts of Misty, and we was totally blown away by Sarah. He put his hands on her hips and they both feel to the ground, kissing.

Then Ash stopped. "Well... I guess this means that..." Ash began saying.

"We're a couple!" Sarah finished.

Ash smiled and then they kissed again.

" Ash I live here now and we'll be in the same school, isn't that great?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah.." Ash smiled. "Great,".

Then Ash's phone rang. Ash ran over to his desk and answered it. "Hello?" he said.

"Hi Ash," A voice on the other line said. It was Misty's.

"Oh..hi," Ash said. Then he sat down. "So, um, you made it home alright? That's good..." he said.

"Yeah Ash," Misty said. "And I REALLY wanted to talk to you about something,"

"Really?" Ash asked. " So... what is it?"

Sarah interuppted. "Sorry Ash, sweetie but who's that? We got A LOT of cathing up to do.." She said.

"It's just my friend, hun and don't worry I won't be long.." Ash said. Turning his attension to Misty. "Sorry about that," he said.

"WHO was that?" Misty asked. Hoping to not her what her heart feared most.

"Um.. well, that was my girlfriend, Sarah?" Ash said.

"You have a girlfriend?" Misty asked. "SENSE when?"

"Well, after you left. Sarah came here and well, we realized we have feelings for each other.." Ash explained, feeling kind of stupid because Ash still had some feelings for Misty, but he wasn't going to tell anybody that.

"Sarah? As in our old friend Sarah?" Misty asked, heart-broken.

"Yeah.." Ash said.

"Well, I gotta go..." Misty sadly said.

"What? I thougth you wanted to talk?" Ash asked.

"NO, I DON'T!" Misty eylled. She broke down now.

"Misty, what's wrong?" Ash asked her.

"Nothing Ash, I gotta go, bye.." Misty said, hanging up.

"Um bye," Ash said. He hung up the phone.

Sarah walked over to him and she hugged him. "Was that Myst?" She asked.

"Sure was," Ash said.

Sarah cracked a fake smile. She could tell that Ash had some kind of special feelings for Misty. But she wasn't planning on letting Ash break her heart for one of her best friends.

Sarah started kissing Ash, passionately. Ash, never turned her down and they both fell to the floor kissing. Sarah started whirspering things to Ash and then she started to kissing him all over and giving sucking a few hickies on Ash's neck.

Ash looked at her. "I love you," He said.

"I love you too," Sarah said, kissing Ash. Then she looked at her watch. "It's eleven honey, I have to go..." She said, getting up. "I'll see you tomorrow," She said.

Ash smiled, and they kissed each other and Sarah left. Ash walke dover to his bed and lid down. thinking about the events that had went on the last five hours. First, he thought he and Misty was going to end up together but then Sarah comes back and he falls for her and he ends up with her. "Oh well, Misty doesn't love me anyways, so why would she care? I'm sure she'll be happy that I'm happy...Maybe I should set her up with someone but who?" Ash thought. Then Ash fell alsleep.

Over at Misty's house. She couldn't get to sleep. She was crying to much, she didn't know what to say or what to think. She was so heart-broken. She was pretty sure that Ash loved her back but then she phones him about ten minutes later and he had a girlfriend! It was SO unbelievable. Misty, just couldn't tell Ash how she felt now. It was hard enough to face Ash, without him knowing the truth, if he knew it then it would make it so much harder. Misty, keep on crying harder and harder, until she fell alsleep.

The next morning Misty woke up and she got in the shower right away. When she walked out of the shower and she turned on her "Jason Greeley," CD, she looked int he mirror and started thinking about the fact that she had to be happy for Ash but of course she would still be hurt but she could always tease him. Misty picked out an outfit. A mini-jean skirt and a belly button top that was pink. She then put on make-up and she curled her hair. She then went down for breakfast.

"You look pretty Misty.." Lily said.

"Thanks," Misty smiled. Thens he finished up and she grabbed her book bag and went out to the bus shop.

"Darn it, I was hoping school was gonna be closed for three days but we got the wrong forcast. It was only a over night storm," Misty complained. But when she looked up there was Ash and Sarah walking down the road holding hands, stopping even now and then to kiss. Misty felt so jealous and she wanted to kill Sarah, but Sarah didn't know how Misty felt but still Misty was upset.

"Hey Myst," Ash said.

"Oh, yeah, hi..." Misty said. "HEY SARAH!"

"HEY MISTY!" Sarah said, happily.

Everything was pretty much quiet until Brock and Suzie came. Misty just talked with them and ignored Ash.

When the bus came, Ash asked Misty wa sit alright if he sat with Sarah and Misty only nodded and she sat in a seat alone until Sakura got on the bus and sat with her. "Who's that with Ash?" she asked Misty.

"His girlfriend," Misty said, flatly.

"Oh," Sakura said. She was going to tease Misty but she could tell that Misty was hurt over it.

When they got to school, Misty walked to her locker alone and she went in her homeroom alone. A few minutes later, Ash walked in alone. "Hi Misty," he said.

"Yeah, Hi.." Misty replied.

Ash sat by her. "Misty, is there something wrong?" he asked her.

"No," Misty lied. "Your happy, so I'm happy..."

"Well, I got you a surprise.." Ash said.

As if on cue a very good-lookin guy walked in the classroom. "Misty, what do you think... maybe you guys could hook up?" Ash said.

Ash's plan had back fire dinstead of making Misty happy he made her mad, "Ash Ketchum it's not up to you who I date and I don't want anyone picking for me, so leave em ALONE!!" Misty yelled. She stormed out of the classroom and she got ready to go home.

Ash stood there shocked. "What?" he asked in disbelief. "What did I do wrong?"

After school that day, Ash went over to see Misty. He knocked on her door and she answered it. "Oh, what do YOU want?" she asked.

"I'm sorry Misty, what the heck did I do wrong?" Ash asked her.

"I'm not talking about it but you know what? You don't have to worry about me, I'm moving tomorrow, so bye.." Misty said. She slammed the door in Ash's face.

Ash just stood there shocked. Tomorrow? Why so soon? Why did their plans change? Ash knocked again. "Misty, we need to talk..." He said.

Misty opened the door and came out of the bridge. "What?" She asked.

"Please forgive me, I mean we're best friends... why are you moving so soon..." Ash asked.

"We have to Ash." Misty simlpy said. "And I guess I'll forgive you," Misty said hugging Ash. "But I'm afriad this is our good-bye," She said.

Ash gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I really about you Misty, your my best friend," He said.

Misty smiled. Ash really was a good friend but her had broekn her heart but the dense guy didn't know what eh had done. At least after tomorrow her heart wouldn't be put through any torture at all for awhile. Well, Actaully it would be but at least Misty never had to see Ash and Sarah together.

"Misty, I hope we keep in contact.." Ash said, giving her one last hug. "You will always be my best friend,"

Misty hugged him back and then he left. Misty slowly walked up to her bedroom and finished packing, she couldn't believe how much her life had changed in the past twenty-four hours.

The next day, Misty was already to go and so was her sisters, who was all making a big fuss about something. Misty just quietly got in the car and waited. She seen Ash and Sarah walk to the bus stop holding hands and they both stopped by the car to say good-bye. Misty, getting hugs from both of them ended up crying and they had to go because the bus was waiting. As they drove to the airport, Misty found a note on her lap and she read it.

Dear Misty,

I know something has gotten you upset btu I don't know what it is. I wanted to tell you that I use to have feeligns for you, up until last night and I still do btu I have realized that you don't love me.. So I moved on. Sarah and I are together. I may not even marry her btu I'm trying to love another girl and it's working. I love Sarah now! Misty, please let us remain best friends forever. Love Always, Ash.

"Oh my goodness," Misty said. "He loves me but we can't be together because he loves Sarah now..." Misty's heart was only broken more now. As she started to cry, they got very close to the airport. The car stopped and everybody got out. Misty tried to hide her tears and she just sat by herself while they was on the plane and all she could think about was Ash.
