Okay hi again! Thanks again to all those who reviewed last chapter! I didn't know you cared so much! Yeah right. Anywhose, in this chapter I'm switching from Misty's POV to Ash's POV then back to Misty then Ash and so forth so forth. Sorry if it's kinda confusing I'll try to make it the least bit confusing. Okay? Cool. Now this is kinda new for me but I'm going to dedicate the next few chapters to some of my reviewers:
1) EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED!!! - I can't call everyone but I'm thankful you reviewed.
2) bemjamin( ) - You guessed wht FGM stood for! YAY! If anyone else guessed it then I applaud you too because my friends and brother couldn't guess. I thought it was pretty obvious.
3) Z girl warrior - I have actually never seen the movie! I thought up the idea before the movie came out I just didn't register until after it premiered so I'll watch it. It'll probably help me out with my last chapter I'm stuck (sweatdrop)
Okay well that's it once again thanks to all you who reviewed I'll call everyone out in the last chapter cool? Well on with the story!
Disclaimer: Pokemon doesn't belong to me and I hear that it never will but that can't be true right?......right?
Chapter 6 - Pokemon Master's Party
"Hurry up! We're already late!" I yelled at my friends. It was twenty past seven and it would take us at least twenty minutes to get there so the earliest we could arrive was twenty to eight...FORTY MINUTES LATE! I saw them hurrying down the stairs, shoes in hand, and we rushed to the car. Melody and Duplica got in the backseat in order to put on their shoes and as soon as I got in, we left.
You would have thought that they would have finished earlier but they each took ten minutes for both their hair and their makeup. Well the good news was that we were on our way and, surprisingly, there wasn't any traffic.
We got there at my estimated time; twenty to eight on the dot. We rushed out and hurried up to the door. I had my mask in hand and as we reached the door the two men there asked for our invitations. Melody handed them ours and they seemed to recognise Duplica so they opened the doors and we walked in.
A sigh of relief escaped my mouth as I realised that the Pokemon master hadn't arrived yet. But that was weird, being late for your own party. I shrugged it off and walked down the staircase to the dance floor. Suddenly I tripped and fell. I landed butt first on one of the buffet tables. Everything flew up and landed once again on the table causing me to fly through the air (I know that's impossible but it's my story)and land on none other than...
ASH'S POV
I lingered around the bedroom knowing in only a few more minutes I would be walking out into the ballroom and dancing with anyone and everyone. I looked up at the clock, eight forty three, I sighed. Two more minutes. One.........
"Ash honey come on now." Said my mom in her usual chirpy voice. I got up and walked toward the door. I entered from the back and as I walked through the door I fell to the floor.
MISTY'S POV
I laid there on top of my human landing pad still in a daze. I heard them cough and I came to my senses and got up. I turned around and saw none other than the pokemon master himself.
"Oh God! Mr. Ketchum I'm sorry! Here let me help you!" I said as I held out my hand. He grabbed my hand, stood up, fixed his suit and looked at me. His eyes were a mesmorising chocolate brown and he stared into mine. I quickly pulled up my mask not wanting my sisters to see me if they were close by. He blinked and after a moment smiled at me. I sighed relieved that he was fine.
ASH'S POV
I coughed trying to catch my breathe. Then I felt the weight lift off me. "Oh God! Mr. Ketchum I'm so sorry! Here let me help you!" I heard her say. Mr. Ketchum? No one ever called me hat. Oh well I saw her hand, grabbed it and got up. I fixed my tux and looked up to see her.
The most striking things about her were her flaming orange/red hair and the blue green eyes which surprisingly matched perfectly with her hair. She was wearing a stunning dress full of starmie prints and a beautiful ruby necklace adorned her neck. She pulled her mask up rather quickly and hid her face. I snapped out of the trance I was in and smiled at her. She smiled back. I held out my hand and she accepted.
"You can call me Ash" I told her
"Uh..okay Ash, I'm Misty." She replied. The name suited her perfectly! Suddenly I felt a tug on my shirt, I turned around and saw my mother. She dragged me away from Misty and pulled me to the staircase. I stole one last glance of Misty and gave up on trying to resist my mom.
MISTY'S POV
He held out his hand and I took it in a warm hand shake. "You can call me Ash." He said. I then introduced myself and once again became mesmorised by his eyes. He than looked away at a woman I presumed to be his mother. She pulled him away he looked back at me with pleading eyes but I couldn't just pull the guy away from his mother. He obviously read my mind and turned away and continued on with his mother.
I turned around and saw all the guests staring in my direction. Among them I saw Rose. I turned and walked in the opposite direction where I saw Melody "Hi." I said with a smile plastered across my face.
"Remember he's got a girlfriend." She replied jokingly.
"Who said anything about him? I just said hi." I told her in the same joking manner.
"Uh huh. Well anyway, I'd like to introduce you to someone," she went and pulled someone from the crowd, "This is-"
"Oh hi Brock!" I said.
"Hey Misty." He rerplied.
"Uh..you two know each other?" Melody asked confused.
"Of course. We're both gym leaders so we meet at the GLC (gym leaders convention)"
"Oh I see"
"I should have known I was going to see you here Misty. Have you met Ash already?" Brock asked.
"Yeah. I fell on him." I replied coolly like nothing in the sentence sounded odd.
"Ouch...Well I got to go, all these Jenny's, all these joys..hah I'm in heaven..." He said while literally floating off.
Misty had the strange urge to pull him back by the ear when Duplica came up to them, "Hey everyone!" Duplica said while walking up to us, "Great party huh?"
"Yeah great!" I said. Sarcasm highly notable in my tone.
"What's up with you?" She asked.
"Didn't you see? I just fell on top of Ash Ketchum, pokemon master." I said glumly.
"Someone's talking 'bout me?" I turned and gasped as I saw Ash right behind me.
"Yeah Ash we're talking about you." Melody said slyly.
"I hope you're not saying anything bad about me to this lovely lady." Ash replied pointing to me.
I blushed slightly but then Melody replied, "Oh no! We were just telling her about the fact that when we each met you, your mother called to ask if you had enough clean-" Ash covered her mouth.
He grinned sheepishly, "Heh heh. Uh...she doesn't need to know that. Heh heh..."
"Well Ashy boy we weren't saying anything bad we were just...chatting. Anyway I better go join Todd." Duplica said.
"Yeah and I better go make sure Brock doesn't hurt himself." Melody said as she left.
I turned to face Ash. "So, um, would you like to dance?" He asked.
"Sure! Let's go!" I said and grabbed him pulling him onto the dance floor.
We danced for what seemed like a few seconds before someone tapped him on the shoulder. I recognised the person immediately. It was May. I turned and headed toward the refreshment table but someone tugged at my arm and dragged me onto the dance floor again. I turned to see Ash! Okay this was weird. Where did his girlfriend go? Before I could ask he asked me about my life. I told him everything except for the fact that I was cerulean city gym leader noticing that my sisters were in earshot of our conversation.
We got tired and decided to walk the grounds. We passed many pokemon and Ash pointed out his own. We soon saw a bench and sat down. We talked a little more before it happened. By it I mean that he kissed me. We stopped talking and looked at the stars then at each other. He leaned in and kissed me. The first thing I thought was 'kiss him back' but then I remembered something. HE HAD A GIRLFRIEND! I pulled away quickly and looked at him in dismay. I got up and ran back inside, crying, toward Melody. I told her I was going home and then I ran toward my car.
I got in and started the car. As I was about to leave the front doors open and I saw Ash. I gave one last sob before driving off. I didn't care about anyone. Not Melody, who I left behind, not Ash, not anyone. I went home without another thought.
ASH'S POV (the kiss)
After a little while of walking we saw a bench and sat looking at the sky. After the last words were said we looked at the stars and then at each other. She looked so beautiful with the moonlight shining on her face. I knew I only met her that evening, but I felt like I knew her forever. At that moment, I leaned in and our lips met. I felt her kiss back for one second then she pulled away.
I looked at her and she had a look of pure shock on her face. I was about to ask her what was wrong but she got up and started running. I hesitated a little before coming to my senses and got up and ran after her. As I reached inside I saw her heading up the stairs. I ran to the other side but when I reached the doors, she drove off.
I went back inside and searched the crowd for Melody. I saw her near the foot of the staircase and went towards her. She saw me approaching and she glared. As I reached her she exploded.
"What did you do to her!!!" She yelled.
"Nothing, all I did was kiss her!!!" I yelled back.
"YOU DID WHAT!!" She yelled if that was even possible.
"I said I kissed her." I said.
"But what about May?" She asked more calmly.
"What about May?!"
"She is your girlfriend!" She stated annoyed.
"She's my what? No!" I repled.
"She's not?"
"No!"
"Oh crap!"
"Oh crap what?"
"I sort of told Misty that May was you girlfriend..." She mumbled.
"You what!! That's why she ran away. She must think I'm a backstabbing, lying, good-for-nothing--"
"Okay stop with all the adjectives and go after her you buffoon!"
"What! She never told me where she lived! All I know is that she's from Cerulean and that city's got a lot of people!"
"Well let me stay at your place tonight and I'll direct you tomorrow."
"Okay fine." I replied.
After another few hours of dancing with some conceited, self centered girls I was finally allowed to home. Melody and I began our trek home.
We were walking out when she stopped me and said, "So you really like her don't her don't you?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"Because, well you kissed her."
"Well I guess I do love her..." I thought over the sentence as we continued walking. Did I really love her? I only met her that evening.
Soon we stopped again and Melody picked something up from the ground. I recognised it at once! It was Misty's necklace. "She'd be wanting this back." Melody said.
"Yeah." I replied and we continued our walk home.
We arrived at the house a few minutes later. "Well I'll see you in the morning Ash. Good night." She said as she made her way to the guest room.
"Yeah, night Mel." I answered back. I walked up to my room, lay on my bed and fell asleep with images of Misty playing in my mind.
MISTY'S POV
I reached home and was relieved to see that my sisters had not gotten home yet. I went up to my room, changed into my pyjamas and decide to watch television. Soon after Rose arrived home and came up to my room.
"So how was the party?" I asked.
"It was fine. Not that it's any of your business but I think that Mr. Ketchum has fallen in love with Violet."
"I snickered to myself then said, "What makes you say that?"
"The way he stared at her when they danced."
What was she talking about? Ash spent the entire evening with me and beides that he has a girlfriend! Ooh he's such a player! I decided to play along with her plan and said, "I see well good night."
"Good-" She gasped. I looked at her in confusion. Did she recognise me? I became worried. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"It's nothing. Now go to bed!" I immediately obeyed but little did I know she had seen part of my costume poking out from the closet. I then went to bed and so did everyong else, with memories of the party still lingering in our minds.
Yay! I'm done. That was a looong chapter. I hope I didn't confuse you people, and I hope you liked it. I had major writer's block during this chapter. Sorry if Ash seemed kinda girly I tried to tune into my male side but I don't know if that worked very well and my brother refused to help me. Oh well. Review please! Later!
