Thank you to everyone who has given their reviews, it really means a lot to me! Well, here we go Chap 2 is coming up.

The door flew open with a fresh clean smell that greeted the pair as they slowly walked into a medium sized room. The room had one large sized bed, bunk beds, a small kitchen area and a small bathroom area; with shower, sink and toilet. In he middle of their apartment, there was a low mahogany table with a stunning collection of daisies in a jade vase. A dark green settee stood by, bearing a welcome note on the top.

"It's big enough," smiled Ash, breaking the silence. He jumped into one of beds to test out how comfortable it was. "Yeap, the beds are comfy, I don't think you'll be able to wake me up tomorrow, Mist."

"It's beautiful," laughed Misty, letting tears fall.

Ash soon noticed Misty wasn't laughing anymore, she was crying: over the beauty and excitement of the ship. Ash sat up and walked up to Misty to give her a cuddle of comfort. Misty let her head slowly rest on Ash's shoulder and her tears slide on Ash's t-shirt.

"No sisters to bother me with their phone calls, just rest on this lovely ship with you, guys," croaked Misty, wiping her eyes.

Ash smiled and said, "Come on Mist, we have to go on deck to see the casting off." Misty nodded, Pikachu and Togepi leaped on her shoulder for support.

Ash and Misty carefully made their way towards boat deck, trying not to lose each other. People were surrounding them, trying to find their cabins, or exploring the ship making more remarks of the SS. Anne appearance.

The warm breeze swiftly moved along the boat deck as Ash, Misty, Pikachu and Togepi found a spot to wave good bye to the on lookers.

All the other passengers and pokemon were leaning over the side as the steam whistles blew and the music trumpeting their departure.

The ship started to move leisurely and after a few minutes begun to pick up its pace. Cheers on board the ship and below could be heard and the constant sound of 'good byes' raced along the deck.

"Hi guys."

Ash and Misty swiftly turn around to see their friend, Brock, who had finished with the day with girls.

"So you've come out of girl land now," smirked Ash.

"Yeah, well, I was wondering if I could make you an offer," began Brock.

"Yeah, sure," smiled Misty.

"I'm not going to stay with you, guys, I met a cute girl and she has offered for me to stay with her to keep her company," continued Brock, nervously.

Misty, Ash and Pikachu stared at Brock in disbelief; they felt sorry for the girl.

"I will meet you on some days, I won't forget about you completely," smiled Brock uneasy."I don't mind, if you are sure to meet us on some of the days," spoke Ash, holding his hand out to wish his friend good luck.

Brock grinned and shook his hand.

"I'm a bit sad, but along as it makes you happy," said Misty, sadly.

Brock hugged Misty and whispered in her ear, "I hope you tell Ash how you feel towards him, good luck Misty." He pulled away until he disappeared within the crowds.

Misty smiled and mumbled, "I will Brock, I will soon."
