When Misty finally stopped, everyone caught up and gathered around her to console her. Or at least, they tried to. All she kept doing was sitting on the grass with her knees to her chest, rocking back and forth murmuring, "He said he loved me! Then... then he makes out with that Keya bitch." Tears fell from her eyes and rolled down her cheek. Brock and Mia put their arms around her shoulders in an attempt to assure her everything would be fine. Gary remained standing, towering over the three.

Finally Brock stood up as well, frowning at the situation at hand. After a while, Mia also stood up but Misty remained unchanged. Finally, Gary spoke. "You realise he really does love you right? He was only upset because our darling travelling companion decided to weave a web of lies and deceit, right?" he said, pointing out the obvious. But it was the obvious no one had bothered to notice. The truth hit the three of them at last and Misty finally looked up. Mia gave a half smirk, saying, "Leave it to Gary to point out the obvious." Misty began to laugh; it was contagious. Soon the four of them were laughing for no apparent reason. "Come on, we'll grab some lunch," said Mia, pulling Misty to her feet after a glance at her watch.

Misty sighed again. It was the hundredth time in under 5min. Mia followed her sigh. Again. The two girls had been sighing for the past few minutes, seated at the table of a classy restaurant which Gary had led them to. "So, what are you guys going to do now?" he asked, casually. Brock frowned, "I don't know about you two, but I'm going to stay with Ash. I don't think he realises what's actually going on. I don't think we should just leave them alone, no matter how much of an idiot Ash is being, he's still our friend and in your case Mia, sibling too. Misty, don't forget he's also your boyfriend on top of that."

Misty visibly stiffened, "Not this Ash. My boyfriend would never do this to his sister or make out with another girl in front of me," she said and turned her head so no one would see the tell tale shimmer in her eyes. "My brother would never believe Keya over me," added Mia with such a vengeance Brock almost flinched. "That's beside the point, he needs us now, are you really going to abandon him in his time of need?" he asked. Mia also turned away, "Whatever, what he wants is to have a slut go all over him. Well, that's what he's getting now, isn't he?" she asked. "You know you don't believe that, Mia," replied Brock sternly. "Whatever. Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom," she said and left throwing her hat onto her seat while she was at it. "Same here," whispered Misty, following Mia's lead. Brock sighed and Gary shook his head. "Seems like Ash is asking for more than he can handle," muttered Brock. Gary remained silent but shrugged his reply.

Mia reached the bathroom and splashed cold water onto her face continuously in attempts to wake her up from this nightmare. It didn't work but it gave her a clear impression on what was going on. Beside her, Misty's face was also wet and she was just staring blankly into the mirror. Mia grabbed some paper and dried her face. Misty followed her example and they looked at each other in a, 'I think we know what we have to do' way. They finally walked back to the table with a calm repose.

"Well?" asked Gary, attempting to sound as if he didn't care about the answer. Misty and Mia glanced at each other for strength, "We're going back," they announced together. "Oh," replied Gary, struggling for his voice to remain calm, disappointment left hidden, "Great." Brock nodded his approval, "I was sure you'd see sense in the end," he said with a look of satisfaction on his face. They shrugged a response and returned to their inward battle with themselves.

The Pokecentre was having lunch as well. After getting out of bed, they had walked around the park, Ash with Keya hugging his arm obsessively. Upon returning, they had just sat in the front of the Pokecentre with Keya in Ash's lap, her arms around his neck. Their lunch was short seeing as Ash felt he couldn't eat and played with his food. Keya, seeing this, seized the opportunity and suggested they go back to bed. Ash nodded his agreement, still in a daze. He didn't even notice when Keya took off his shirt, nor when she slipped into bed with him, dressed only in her undergarments.

When he felt her skin on his bare back he finally looked at her. She gazed back at him with her most alluring smile. He suddenly felt reckless, had the urge to do something dangerous. He kissed Keya, taking her by pleasant surprise. She shifted her position until she was directly underneath him. His hands prowled her body with hunger and she didn't hesitate to help him out of his pants. They stopped for a moment to let them slip on a precaution before returning to fulfilling their temporary desire. Keya let Ash fumble at her bra rather than help him take it off, letting him kiss her slowly from her neck going down . . .

They heard two shrill cries and stopped, turning to see where the noise had come from. The owners of the interruption weren't planning to stay and watch; they'd already turned and run out the door. Only Brock and Gary stood in the doorway now. They both shook their heads in despair. Brock turned away but Gary remained standing. "You blew it big time, Ash," he said and turned away, walking out the door and ready to catch up with Mia and Misty. While passing Brock, he effortlessly pulled him up and half dragged him along. Brock wouldn't last long if he saw something like that again and Ash needed to realise his friends weren't going to stand by him if he didn't do anything to keep it that way.

Well, Jade_Destiny, your wish has been granted ^_______^
