Misty stared at herself in the towering mirror with the thought of 'This is it; I'm going to be known as Mrs Greenfield'. Her eyes scanned her dress; it was beautiful, the velvet Satin strapless dress had a spilt front gown decorated with light beading, sequins and embroidery. It also had an overskirt which brought the dress together by a small water flower. Her auburn hair was high up in a neat bun with a sparkling silver tiara and a netted veil was held back by a few clips.
Ms Ketchum crept into the room and gazed at Misty with shimmering tears on her beautiful she looked. Misty turned around to see Ms Ketchum, her mother figure, wearing a suit, the jacket was a creamy pink and the front and sleeve cuffs were trimmed with rows of pink and black braid traced with sparkling crystal beads. Ms Ketchum's skirt was graceful with a flared hem, matching the jacket. To finish the look of she wore a small pink hat that had a large bundle of fake flowers.
"Oh, Misty, you look beautiful," stuttered Ms Ketchum, finally finding her voice.
Misty looked at herself in the mirror again and peered down at the ground missing Ash. She walked over to her bed and let one single tear slide down her cheek. Ms Ketchum sat by her side as she let her cry on her shoulder.
"I know you're missing him, but he would just be a nuisance Misty. Don't worry about him, it's just about you and Will," comforted Ms Ketchum.
Misty took a few deep breaths and replied, "But he is my best friend and I…" Misty took in silence. Ms Ketchum stared at Misty in confusion and said, "But you…what dear?"
Misty faced Ms Ketchum and explained, "I loved your son when I was travelling him, and he was the one who kept me going. It was like we were made for each other and then after he went with May and Max, it was like I was replaced. I wanted to make Ash jealous and that's when I found Will and we fell in love, but it doesn't feel like the same; which I had with Ash. I thought Best friend love is different than real Lover's love, but I'm confused whether I love Ash as a best friend or a..."
Ms Ketchum stared trans fixed at the confused and joked, "It's a little late now after all you are getting married to Will."
"And I want to get married to Will, if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have shown me the truth about Ash, no offence Ms Ketchum," continued Misty.
"None taken," said Delia.
The hooting of the wedding cars boomed outside and the cheers and clasps were heard as Misty and Ms Ketchum walked into the grey car. Misty's stomach went up and down due to the nerves she was feeling, but looked out of the window hoping the passing scenery would calm her nerves.
Ash sat in the crisp silence; looking at the china plate filled with stone cold chips with a sloppy pile of red sauce lying on the side. He drove his silver fork dodging the chips in its travels. The clock chimed when the golden hands struck mid day and the dreaded thought of Misty's wedding starting less than two hours saddened Ash. The evil smirk on Will's face glared into Ash's cramped and messed mind. A sudden rush of anger swept over Ash as he threw the plate across the kitchen with cold chips flying in all directions. Ash clenched his tired head in his hands, trying so hard not to remember what happened last night. Will and Daisy made Ash look like he was the one in the wrong and thanks to the old bottle of vodka which was 'accidentally' appeared in the scene made the lie more believable for Misty.
"What am I going to do?" muttered Ash, sadly. Ash began to clear up the smashed up plate, hissing and wincing as the broken bits of china sliced his hand opened. "I don't have time for this," grumbled Ash, reaching out to the drawer and grabbing a white bandage to wrap around his wound.
A photograph shone out into Ash's view, it was a picture of him and Misty smiling and cuddling each other with Professor Oak's lab in the background. Ash slowly picked up the photograph and ran his finger on top of Misty's form. "Misty," He whispered. "I love you too much." He ran over to his jacket and closed the door behind him.
After a long travel, Ash stopped seeing a big stone church in his view. He had to admit the church was surrounded by a beautiful view; after all it was on top of a cliff with the gentle waves crashing along the rocks. He looked down; knowing that he wouldn't be wanted along the guests after Misty ripped his invitation in front of everyone. There was nothing he could do, except wait until the wedded couple came out. So he decided to sit on top of an oak tree admiring the view of the ocean and hoped Misty would find out the truth before she signed her life over to Will.
The gentle and calming wedding music began to play and the guests a rose ready to see the stunning bride as she slowly walked down the aisle. Everyone stood there with their mouths wide open and their eyes watching her every footstep. She smiled and looked at Will who nervously stood, tugging his white shirt.
Finally arriving, Misty and Will turned to see each while Will mouthed "You look amazing", she fluttered her eyelashes and mouthed back, "So do you."
The service ran smoothly with songs and a few words from the old priest, but the time had come to say their vows. The scene suddenly froze and Misty stared at everyone in puzzlement.
"What is happening?" muttered Misty, confused.
"Wow, look at my baby, Nick," a soft voice cried.
Misty turned around noticing a young couple standing behind her, she couldn't believe her eyes. Her mother and father were hovering and happily smiled at their daughter. Misty's mother wore a similar suit to Ms Ketchum's, but was in blue whereas her dad wore a black suit with a bright red tie.
"Mum…Dad, what are you are doing here?" Misty cried, walking up to the pair; wanting to so badly hug them. Sadly her body went straight through the pair as they laughed at their daughter's embarrassment.
"Darling," said Nick seriously, getting to the point. "Listen, I and your mother want to quicklytell you something about Ash. We can't hold this scene frozen for very long due to me and your mother not having enough power"
"What about him?" grumbled Misty, getting slightly annoyed.
"Sweetie, you and him are destined together," pleaded Misty's mother.
"Yeah and so what, he lied to me mum, he said that Will was affair with my own sister and then he said he would cut out the drink, but that was a lie as well. To be honest, I wouldn't give a stuff about Ash, he tried breaking me and Will apart from day one," explained Misty, angrily.
Her parents shook their heads sadly, looking over to the frozen Will figure; who was not looking in Misty's direction at all, but at their other daughter, Daisy.
"Look at Will, Misty," ordered Nick.
Misty turned around facing Will and noticed that he wasn't looking at her at all, but at Daisy. Daisy looked at him sadly, and was pouting her lips to give him a good luck kiss. "So, He is looking at Daisy," moaned Misty. 'Wait a minute, he is looking at Daisy!' the message had received in her brain.
Misty's parents saw Misty falling to her knees in upset and began to sob. This was terrible; things just weren't going her way at all.
"You see, hunny, what me and your father have been trying to say is Ash was and is telling the truth," reported her mother.
Misty sat their on the step, peering into her mother's calm and ghost like eyes and sobbed, "What should I do?"
"Make us happy, Misty, but not only us, but you," soothed Nick.
Misty saw her parents quietly glided away from her sightas they blew their kisses to her and disappeared in the air.
