When Ash woke up the next morning, he had a great feeling about today. He got up and out of bed. He began to do his daily morning routine of exercises to start the day. "50…51…52…" He counted off his push-ups. He then finished up his workout by running laps around the gym's hallway.

After he was finished, Ash went into his room and took a shower. By this time, Broke was just waking up and getting out of bed. He put on his slippers and very groggily went into the kitchen. There he began to make breakfast.

Misty awoke to the aroma of bacon and eggs sizzling on the stove. The smell was like a sweet fragrance to her as she nearly hit her face on the bathroom door. Her eyes were barely opened as she walked to the bathroom. She washed her face and her hands as she heard her stomach growl loudly. It did not help her hunger much with the fact that her room was very close to the kitchen. After she dried herself, she quickly left her room and into the kitchen.

Ash just got out of the shower at this point and was drying himself off. After he put some clothes on, he woke up Pikachu and carried him to the kitchen. When he got there, Misty was sitting at the table, but with her head down. Ash took a seat next to her and just watched her. Silently she slept as Ash just sat there admiring her. Broke was turning around about to say something when he saw Ash sitting there staring at Misty. When he saw Ash sitting with a daydream type facial expression, he just turned around shaking his head as he continued cooking.

Ash felt happy just to sit there and watch Misty sleep. She had such a heavenly face even when she was mad at him and yelling. "So beautiful," He whispered. Suddenly Misty slowly opened her eyes. Ash noticed she was waking up and quickly turned away. She slowly rose her head up as she rubbed her eyes. Ash was blushing light as he kept the image of Misty sleeping in his thoughts.

"Did you say something Ash?" Misty said as she stood up and stretched her arms. Ash shook his head as he tried to cover the blush that was forming on his cheeks. Pikachu looked up at him and began to tug at his arm. He tried to keep his hands covering his face, but was having a difficult time because of Pikachu.

"Pikachu?" He said as he tugged at Ash's arm. Ash tried to whisper something to Pikachu, but the little rat could not hear him. Ash spoke a little louder but still Pikachu could not hear him. Pikachu jumped on the table and ran up in front of him.

Misty watched on as Pikachu tried to hear what Ash was trying to say to him. She was wondering why Ash was acting up and why he seemed so worked up about something. She tried to ask him if everything was ok, but he didn't respond. Misty got slightly irritated by this, but did not want to show it. She thought Ash was just being a jerk and was doing this on purpose to make her feel bad.

"Umm... Misty?" Ash said in a quiet voice that Misty barely heard. She was so worked up in her own thoughts that she barely heard him say her name.

"Yes Ash?' she said finally getting out of her train of thoughts to answer him.

"Will you go with me to pick up the tickets at the Pokemon Center today?" She gave him a strange look, before she nodded and answered him. Ash let out a deep sigh as he took hold of Pikachu and began to scratch behind Pikachu's ears. Pikachu sat there enjoying the free message from Ash as Ash sat there lost in his thoughts. Misty was doing the same thing Pikachu sat there enjoying the free message from Ash as Ash sat there lost in his thoughts. Misty was doing the same thing trying to wonder why he asked her get the tickets with him. She just figured that he wanted someone there to boast to about the tickets and make them compete for them. She got slightly angry at this but thought she was just overreacting and shook that idea out.

Just then a strange thought came to her mind. What if Ash wanted to take her on the cruise with him? She thought about it, but quickly dismissed it and laughed at herself for thinking up a very funny possibility. She tried to shake this one off, but for some reason it stayed locked into her brain as Brock finally finished the breakfast.

Ash and Misty ate in eerie silence which made Brock feel awkward. Pikachu was sitting in the middle of Ash and Misty looking back and forth at the both of them. Ash was thinking about the trip and how greatly he would love it if Misty had gone with him. Misty, on the other hand, was trying to get her last thought out of her head. The thought of Ash inviting her to go with him to the weekend cruise was still stuck in her mind.

She began to think of reason why he would ask her. She thought that Ash was going to pull a trick on her by letting her think that she was going to go, but then at the last second change his mind and take someone else like Brock with him. But, she knew Ash too well for him to do that so she quickly dismissed that. Many more ideas came to mind, but none of them seemed probable since she was able to think of reasons why Ash would not do that.

Just then it hit her. "It couldn't be…" She said to herself as she stared at Ash with a surprised look on her face. "He couldn't…" Misty tried to think of words to say, but she was speechless. Her idea was so sudden and shocking that let go of her spoon that fell on the ground. Everyone was startled by this including Ash, who looked up at met Misty's gaze. The awkwardness between them grew as neither Ash nor Misty flinched as they stared into each other's eyes. Misty was searching for answers in his eyes, while Ash just sat there slightly nervous by the fact that the person he really cared about was staring right at him.

Just then Misty felt something tugging at her arm. She finally looked down and saw Pikachu holding a spoon up to her.

"Oh thank you Pikachu." She said as she took the spoon from his hand. Pikachu just smiled as he sat back down and went back to eating. Misty was blushing lightly as she ate her food. Ash stared at her for a moment more before he went back to eating.

Brock, who witnessed the whole thing, had a smirk on his face as he ate his food. Misty was so very confused about what to think because her idea seemed so right, but she wanted to disprove it so bad. She just could not see Ash actually having feelings for her. It was just not possible for that to happen. Misty was so taken back by this thought that she suddenly lost her appetite. She pushed her food aside and quickly got out of her chair and left into her room holding her stomach.

Ash and Brock watched her as she went into her room and closed the door behind her. Ash wondered and hoped that she was ok. "You should go check on her." Brock said as he took a fork full of his food. Ash looked at him for a second before he nodded.

He quietly got out of his chair and walked over to Misty's room. Ash knocked two times and waited for her to answer. Misty was lying on her bed holding onto her stomach as she heard the knock. "Who is it?' She ask ed as she slowly sat up and leaded against the headboard.

"It's Ash. Is everything ok?' The voice said beyond the door. When Misty heard it was him, she suddenly felt the sickness in her stomach come back as she held onto to her stomach.

"Yeah everything is fine, I just felt a little dizzy. I'll be fine I just need to settle my stomach." Misty yelled as she slowly stood up. She waited for a moment before she heard footsteps leaving from her door. She almost felt like throwing up into the trash can, before her stomach finally settled. She got up and went into the bathroom. She turned on the cold water and just splashed it on her face. The cold water helped her take her mind off of things so that she could think clearly.

"Ok. If he invites me to go with him, then it means he has feelings for me. If he doesn't then that means he just wants me to go along." She said to herself. "I hope that he doesn't invite me. Please don't do it Ash." She said to the mirror as she took a deep breath. Today was going to be an interesting day for Misty and Ash.
