do not own pokemon. I do own Daniel, Aaron, Marie, Andy, and Static. Even though I think Andy would like it better if Officer Jenny owned him.

Chapter 4: Meeting Friends

"ASH KETCHEM YOU IDIOT!" screamed Misty, "Where Have You Been?"

I wish Ash and I had more time together. At least he could have warned me of her temper.

"I got lost" answered Aaron.

"Typical" retorted Misty.

"Ok you two. Stop fighting. I know where we are now" said Brock.

"Great. Let's go home." Aaron said heading west.

"Ash, Pallet is that way." Misty pointed out pointing east.

"Oh yeah. I knew that." This might be harder than I thought.

"Togi. Togepriii": (Something's wrong. He looks like Daddy.)

Meanwhile, in another part of the woods;

"Aaron! Great! You're not dead. Now let's go see Officer Jenny."

A tall boy about Brock's age came running up to Ash. He had brown hair and green eyes.

Must be Andy.

Just then a girl Misty's age showed up. She had dark, red hair and baby-blue eyes. Along side her flew a Togetic. It took all of Ash's will-power not to get the Pokedex out.

"Andy! Is that all you can think about?" she asked her friend.

She must be Marie. She's not as cute as Misty. Aghh! What am I thinking?

"Hi guys. Sorry if I worried you" said Ash.

"You better be" said Marie very dangerously. "I had absolutely no idea whether you were dead or alive. By the way, you still owe me."

"Remind me of what I owe you." Requested Ash wishing Aaron had told him.

"MY SCOOTER!" screamed Marie making sure he got each word.

At this, Ash face-faulted. Great. I owe Misty a bike, and Aaron owes Marie a scooter. What's next? Their own Team Rocket stalkers? Oops. I forgot to tell Aaron about Team Rocket. I hope they don't try anything.
