The Mission of the Girls

Eerie silence devoured the stadium. Darkness overpowered light and shock engulfed the people. As the pokemon continued their fierce battle, there was but one trainer standing paralyzed. All seemed lost until a sudden light caught his eye. The light moving closer and closer; a tall figure appearing…………….

Ash woke up terrified and wiped the sweat off his forehead. It was morning, but the sun decided to sleep in late. Ash looked around and saw his pikachu sleeping peacefully on the pillow, and then a certain red-head quickly caught his attention. He slowly got out of bed and noticed his glistening, golden champion trophy. I still can't believe I won….Misty. He put on some jeans and a black shirt and slipped on his sneakers. He was heading toward the door, but before he would leave, he had to do something first. He bent down next to the sleeping Misty and murmured "Thank you Misty". He noticed she was shivering and so he quickly sprang up and grabbed his blanket and covered her with it and gave a small caring smile. (You all know he wanted to do more than that!) He got up and walked through the door smiling, eager for this new day to begin.

Back in the room

Misty usually was quite a heavy sleeper, but little did Ash know this morning was different. She heard Ash gently creep down next to her and murmur "Thank you" and "Misty", which sent shivers down her spine. She tried hard to hold in her smile and she began to pretend she was sleeping, but couldn't stop shivering. Then a warm blanket was gently tossed over her and her smile finally escaped her lips. She heard the door slam and immediately sprung herself up and decided to get dressed in something different for a change.

The cool morning air was crisp and fresh as Ash left the pokemon center and stepped outside. The sun was beginning to peer over the horizon and the sky was awakening to its morning glory. Ash could see the stadium he had just been in hours ago but he couldn't go back. Instead he would go to one of his favorite places- the lake.

The lake area was completely empty. The water was a brilliant shade of dark blue and kept on getting brighter as the sun came up. Ash walked closer to the lake and sat down on a huge and smooth boulder. He just couldn't get his restless mind off of yesterday's match. I thought I was sure going to be a goner. I was rescued…….by…….by………..her. He stood up and picked up tiny rocks and started to fling them violently into the water. One by one the rocks splashed into the once calm water, disturbing its peace. It was completely silent, until a high pitched voice called out "Hey Ash!" He spun around and spotted Misty; looking beautiful and in different clothes for a change! (Isn't that amazing people? Different clothes! Hooray!) She wore jean shorts, she had a white tang top, and she had a red bandana swirled in her orange hair; also red sneakers. As Misty came closer, Ash just stood there stunned and practically drooling.

"Um…Ash, Could you stop looking at me like that? You're drooling on the floor" She pointed down to the floor and what do ya know? There's a puddle forming as more drops continue falling from Ash's mouth. Drip………Drip………Drip.

The finally awoken Ash started to scratch his head. "Hahaha……..I………….uh………thought you……….er……….looked ni..c…e, different from all the other times." The moment of silence- Ash blushing madly and pretending to spot something interesting on the ground, and Misty with her deep pink blush playing around with her right foot; sweeping it across the ground from left to right, back and forth. (This goes on for a couple of minutes)

"Ash…….um……..thank you." She blurted out finally. Hey wait! That Jerk! "ASH KETCHUM, what is it exactly that your trying to say?" The once calm and shy girl snapped at him, giving him a rather hateful glare. "Hey are you really saying that all those other days I looked…..I looked…UGLY? So it's only today that you decide to compliment me!"

Surprised at her sudden change in tone, the boy shot his head up and snapped back at her. "A guy tries to compliment the girl he likes once in a while and what does he get himself into? An argument! Why can't you just be like the other…………..He didn't even have to finish his words, for she knew exactly what he was going to say. With an evil glare, the enraged girl continued. "I didn't even start the argument! Oh but now you did, Congratulations! Well then I guess I'm not YOUR type, am I?"

"You're so stupid sometimes. No correction- you ARE stupid." Ash screamed now with as much rage as Misty.

"You Idiot!"

"Wench!"

" Jerk!"

"You loud mouthed runt!"

Shocked, Misty spoke. "You just crossed the line Ash!" I hope your happy." The girl gave him the you better start running now glare and slowly turned away as she felt tears forming in her eyes. In that instant moment, Ash's past words darted right past her. "A guy tries to compliment the girl…..he likes?" The now frozen girl turned back and ran right up to Ash and embraced him. Ash's anger immediately flew away. He looked at the girl in his arms and let out a small cheery grin. Looking down, he noticed his shirt was getting wet and he immediately embraced the girl even tighter. Locked like this for a while, she finally broke away from the hug and spoke looking right into his eyes. "Oh Ash I'm so sorry. I was so damn stupid!" Tears lunged past her cheeks. "We always fight. Ever since the day we met."

"You're not stupid! You're smart, beautiful and I'm the one who's sorry for being such a jerk all these years!" His comforting words made the once sad girl smile once again.

"Ash you're not a jerk. You're a great…………… (Sorry bout cutting it off, don't kill me! And it was going so well too)

Interrupted by a low, familiar voice "Hey guys!" they both sighed and turned to look at their disturbance running straight towards them. The angry teens just glared at the approaching male figure.

"Why the dirty glares? What did I do? Hey did I disturb something? I'm so proud." Tears slid down his cheeks; tears of joy. Ash and Misty sweat-dropped.

"NO BROCK! Nothing happened!" They both screamed in unison. (Freaky unisons!)

The frightened Brock took a step back and murmured "Fine. God don't kill me! Just wanted to say we're going to the festival today." Leaving the two behind him, he walked back to the pokemon center. Meanwhile……..Ash and Misty spoke in unison once again. "The FESTIVAL" Running as fast as they can, they bolted straight for the pokemon center; both with smiles on their faces.

The girls decided to go shopping for preparation for the festival on this one-day festival sale. The guys decided to walk around and explore a bit.

The girls: May and Misty

The Mall

"Come on Misty! I know you like him!" said may giving her an it's so obvious stare and flipping through the clothes rack violently.

"No I don't" Misty quickly answered casually. The girl was standing there with her mad blush.

May shot her a long glare saying you know you can't hide it but then something caught her eye and she gave a loud, high-pitched squeal. "OOOOO this is PERFECT." Misty bent down to see what this was and flung it up eagerly from the clothes rack. Let's just say she wasn't too happy about it.

"There is no way in HELL I'm going to wear this!" The girl yelled pointing her finger at the outfit. It was truly stunning, but not something Misty is used to wearing. There was a light pink spaghetti-strap tang top and then a beautiful short, light- aquaish flary skirt with a fairly large yellow star on the left hand corner. Right below the outfit was sandals- one was pink and the other aqua. Both of them had a little yellow star on them which glistened above all other things.

May immediately grabbed the shirt, skirt and the shoes and forcefully stuffed them into Misty's arms. "Try it on, NOW!" She yelled. Misty responded a little frightened. "But, I can't……..wear….this, I um mean……" May cut her off and pushed her into the dressing rooms with a grin of satisfaction for all her hard work.

Hours later………..Just kidding! Minutes later……………………(LOL)

Misty stumbled out of the dressing room, fidgeting and constantly pulling down on her skirt while walking towards the flabbergasted May. With her flowing orange hair no longer in a ponytail and her clothes, Misty was a vision of beauty. She finally spoke out. "This skirt is too short, this tang top is too revealing and..."

"Misty shut up and look how beautiful you look!"

Misty turned around and looked into the mirror and she herself couldn't believe her eyes as she looked in the mirror.

May crossed her arms and started to ponder. "Just look at yourself! What would Ash say?"

"Ash…"

"Now to find you the perfect earrings." She rushed to the jewelry aisle and once again violently flipped through everything. Meanwhile Misty was still looking in the mirror. "Wow I guess I do look nice. May was right!"

"Yes I was right" Came a voice from behind. May was standing in the back looking at her.

"How did you get back so fast?" Replied the freaked out Misty.

"Let's just say I'm fast." Smiled May proud of herself.

"Now try on these earrings." The little yellow stars sparkled in the light as May handed them to Misty.

(Just to tell you all, Misty goes back to the dressing room to change back to her regular clothes. I mean she won't just walk out of the store with those clothes on!)

"These earrings are nice. This outfit is beautiful, but I just don't think I can afford all of this" Misty said trying to be reasonable.

"Oh well don't worry about that. I already paid with your money while you were changing back. Can you believe it was on sale for 50 off?" May squealed and Misty sweat-dropped.

"Well, I guess it is worth it." She said laughing.

"OF COURSE IT'S WORTH IT! I MEAN JUST LOOK AT YOURSELF, YOU LOOK AMAZING!" Misty blushed. "Why thank you. How about you? Aren't you going to wear anything special?"

"Don't worry. I already have something" May winked at Misty and held up her shopping back for her to see. "Now let's go get dressed and save the guys from their boredom."

"Right." Misty laughed as the two very happy shoppers left the store. (Just so you know here's May's outfit: A short white dress with a thick blue stripe at the very bottom and a blue scarf wrapped around her shoulders and flowing across her chest. She also has blue shoes and blue dangly earrings.)

The Guys: Ash. Brock and Max

Sitting on a bench in the park, watching people pass by.

"Why are they taking so long?" Groaned Ash.

"It's a girl thing we guys will never understand." Sighed Brock.

"When May goes shopping, you can always expect her to be gone for hours. She buys stuff and then spends hours trying everything on." Said Max.

The three of them groaned in unison.

"Hey Max. Look at that pokemon all the way over there in the forest! It's a rare one! Never seen it before!" Brock yelled trying to hide his wide grin.

"Where?" Max jumped off the bench and ran to the forest without even saying a goodbye.

"Was that really necessary Brock?" Ash mumbled still bored.

"Yes we need to talk and Max is too young to understand." Brock said as if he was lecturing Ash. After all, he is an expert with kids, having raised so many of his brothers and sisters alone.

"What is that?" Ash looked up nervously.

"You know…..about Misty!"

"What about her? We're only friends!" Ash said looking at Brock, his nerves continuing to intensify.

"Ash it's so obvious."

"No its not!" Ash screamed blushing madly.

"Ok Ash I know your lying. This is serious. You have to confess your feelings to her."

"I can't… she hates me. We always argue."

"I know she loves you. I can see it in both your eyes when you look at each other. It's written all over your faces. As an expert with love, you should trust me!"

"But, what am I supposed to do?"

"Ash you are so clueless." Brock sighed. "You have to do something special. Give her a clue of how you really feel, spend some alone time with her perhaps." Brock grinned and pondered on his last statement.

"I don't think I'll be able to do that!"

"Yes you can! I have the perfect idea." He smiled and whispered everything into Ash's ear.

"Ok, if you're sure about this. I'll do it!" Ash responded determined as if in a pokemon battle.

"Hey!" screamed a voice from behind.

"You guys tricked me!"

"Remember Ash, be your self." Brock said during their last minutes of privacy.

"Right." Agreed Ash.

Max ran up to them and started yelling.

"I can't believe you guys! Why? Am I that much of a pest that you have to get rid of me?"

Ash and Brock laughed nervously but then turned around and beamed at the two mysterious approaching figures. They were like angels descending from heaven.

"Hullo?" Screamed Max. Soon enough he turned around and also spotted the two figures who were Misty and May and he hung his mouth open and just stared.

May and Misty both approached them cautiously with small grins on their faces. Both of them were all dressed up and beautiful while the guys stood there in their regular clothes.

"Come on you guys! Move! Talk! Do anything!" Misty whined after a while just standing their looking at them.

"Let's go." She grabbed Ash by his right arm and dragged him. May pulled Brock by the ear and she also pulled her little brother, Max by the arm. They all walked to the Grand festival. (Well May and Misty walked, the guys were being dragged. LOL) the guys never took their eyes off of these two angels, even Max didn't and he was still young! Nobody said a word. May and Misty just smiled at each other and quietly murmured "Mission Accomplished!"

A.N. - Hey guys! I hope you like it! It's definitely longer and it did take me a long time to write and type. The next chapter will be long too hopefully. I need ideas though!
