Chapter 2- I Miss You
The night before Ash comes home from Hoenn
When she got word from Tracey; who came by the gym to see Daisy, that Ash was returning home tomorrow, Misty, using the excuse of taking her hatched Azurill to let Prof. Oak see it; to convince her sisters to watch the gym for one day. Headed out with Tracey to Pallet. Leading to her, later that evening, outside the Ketchum's front door.
Of course, welcoming her with open arms. Delia suggests the two have a little slumber party within the living room. Which is why Misty, currently in a long ivory color sleeping gown loan by Delia, resting on the loveseat in the living room. While Delia's sleeping away on the couch, cuddling a sleeping Azurill. Who Misty wasn't too surprised the little baby mouse warmed up to Delia right after meeting her.
Keeping quiet not to bother the two, and slipping by a snoring Mr. Mine in the only arm-chair in the room. Misty headed for the outside deck to the house. However as soon as Misty closed the sliding door to the deck. A set of chocolate eyes opened.
But due to her not paying no mind to anything but the time showing on the wall clock. Delia nearly cusses to herself as, once gently resting the blue mouse on the couch, rush upstairs to her bedroom.
Meanwhile, as Delia reaches her room, taken out an old photo from under her pillow; displaying her and her husband back when they were dating. Misty was just gazing up at the stars, thinking about nobody but a long distance love.
Holding her photo in hand, Delia opens the window, to gaze, like Misty's doing, up at the starry night.
Just then, at the same time, both open their mouth as an unknown song escapes their lips, coming from their longing heart calling out to their lover.

Gazing a bit more at the night sky, before sighing, Misty rested her hands against her heart. The same time Delia press her photo to her heart. Both trusting, somehow, their heart's words reached their other half, far away. Though this was new to one but familiar to the other. Both said, in tears, "Goodnight Ash/Bobby."
Thereafter, once closing the bedroom window, Delia fell asleep upon the bed and woken early the next morning, to find, oddly, Misty asleep in the lounge chair on the deck. Regardless of finding her there, and hearing her whimper her son's name as she woke her. Delia didn't question the teen, just smiled at her, before heading to the kitchen, to start making some pancakes.
