Goddess of Angels- Thanks for the typo warning.

Out of the Blue
Ash's mom gave him a flower to give Maura's mom. He puts the pink rose in water and decides to drop it off on his way to Pidgey Trail. Its fifteen minutes until sunset, or at least that is what the weather man said. Ash watches Mr. Mime and Pikachu play the new Pokemon Racers video game.
Maura's dad walks past her bedroom door. He stops and takes a few steps back to hear an acoustic guitar. The same guitar she refused to play when the first moved to Pallet Town. Sitting on her bed with a music book, and Dancerrella lying down next to her, the two sing together.
"Out of the blue, we knew we should've been together."
"Gardevoir, gard Gardevoir."
"When love makes the choice, it has a voice."
"Gard, Gardevoir…" Maura stops playing and sees the sun setting.
"Sorry Dance, but I have to go see Ash." Dance begins making kissy faces at her.
"Dancerrella!" She pushes her then they begin laughing. Maura's dad knocks on the door.
"Dancerrella, time for a visit to the store." She floats in the air using Psychic and floats to the kitchen to grab the shopping list. Maura grabs her bike helmet and runs out of her room.
"Can't talk dad, I'll be home before ten!" She rushes out the front door and grabs her bike. She puts a huge book in the basket of her bike and begins heading towards the trail.
"Okay… um… honey! Your daughter will be home by ten tonight!"
"I know sweet heart. She told me three hours ago."
When Maura turned left on Cherry Hill Trail, Ash walked his bike over to her house to drop off the flower. He rings the door bell and Blazeka answers. She lets him in.
"Well if this is the famous Ash?"
"Yeah, that's me." He hands the flowers to Maura's mom.
"Thank you! She will live for a long while in this house."
"Your welcome. My mom had a hard time picking one out."
"See what I mean George. He looks just like Dylan with shorter hair." Ash stands there looking confused and wonders what they are talking about.
"Well, he does. But Dylan dyed his hair black. It was blonde when he was just a toddler."
"But Ash has brown eyes. His were big noticeable hazel eyes."
"I'm just going to leave." Ash walks out the door while her parents talk about how they look alike. He looks over to say something to his pal. But he left her back home because she was happy playing the video game. He hopped on his bike and turned left on Cherry Hill Trail.
Maura passed a sign that said "Bikes only on the trail ahead. If walking please go straight." Then a noticeable wooden sign that says "Welcome to Pidgey Trail" catches her eye. She smiles and turns right onto the trail. Only being on the trail during the winter time, Maura never realized why they gave it that name. Pidgey and a couple Pedgeotto roamed the area.
She laughed at one sign that said "Bird X-ing" and showed a picture of a baby bird. She parked her bike on the grass and sat under the big tree. Ash came zooming around the corner at high speed almost crashing into the welcome sign. He parked his bike next to hers.
"Am I late?"
"You are just in time. Come sit down!" She puts her hand on the ground telling Ash to sit there next to her. He sat down and saw a huge scrap book on her lap.
"What is that?"
"It's my mom's scrap book. The first picture in here dates back to 1985."
"Well… let's look inside." Maura opens it. The first thing inside is a newspaper article from The Battle Town Times. It features a young brunette holding the Johto League Trophy and a Mightyena smiling for the camera. There are also small pictures of a battle. Ash begins to read the title.
"Johto League's first female champ! Is that your mom?"
"That's Mom and Queen. Keep reading you might find this interesting." Ash begins reading the rest of it out loud.
"Fifteen year old Stella Sunshine becomes the first ever female to win the title of Johto League Champion. She is also the first trainer in the League to train pokemon by dancing. The crowd favorite pokemon Queen the Mightyena and Charlie the Charizard were also the only two pokemon Stella ever called out during a match." Ash can't believe what he is reading.
"Your mom is amazing! I never knew you were related to Stella Sunshine!"
"You've even seen her up close too."
"I need to start up on keeping track of my celebrities!" Maura begins laughing as he turns the page to get another shocker.
"Who is that?"
"That's my old neighbor Dylan. He's trying to distract me while I do yoga in this picture."
"Dylan?"
"Yeah, he is one of my old pals." Ash thinks about it for a second. There is a recent picture of them kissing and he quickly knows that's her ex-boy or something like that. Misty is currently on her daily jog. She normally jogs in the morning, but moved it to the evening so she could train with Azurill.
"He looks like… me."
"Yeah… I guess he does." She blushes and looks at the grass. A convo popped in Ash's head.
Flash Back
Misty visits Ash's place because he need girl advice on something.
"Tell me Ash. What's wrong?"
"Well I…I have…" Ash looks down at the kitchen floor. Misty looks at him as she takes a bite out of her freshly baked cookie that Mr. Mime made.
"Come on Ash! You're my best friend and you can tell me anything! I know it must be something you can't talk to Brock with if you call me."
"Your right Misty, it is something like that."
"Well spill it then."
"I've got feelings for someone." He looks at the floor trying to avoid eye contact.
"Oh. Well who is this lucky girl?" Misty looks at Ash very deeply. She hopes that it's her because she has been crushing on him from day one. When he destroyed her bike, it seemed that she hated him to death. But that's just her way of expressing her feelings while trying to hide them.
"It's Maura." Misty seems sadden that it was not her name. 'But then why would he ask for advice to me, if it was me?' she thought.
"Oh Maura. So what would you like to know? Her type is kinda hard to find."
"That is true. I've never met someone so free and elegant. She does not care what other people think either. But Misty…"
"Ash…what's the question?"
"Well how do you get a girls attention?"
"Your re match is coming up. Try to go easy on her, but then impress her. And don't forget-" She get cut off by Ash's mom.
"Ash Ketchum! You told me that you would clean up your room when you get back!"
"I will mom!"
"Now!"
"I better go. Good luck with the cleaning."
"Thanks Misty."
End Flash Back
"Maura… I…" Ash tries to confess.
"Yeah?"
A noise interrupts Ash. Her cell phone was vibrating in the basket and made a clashing sound against the metal. "Excuse me, it might be my mom." She rushes up and looks at the caller-id. It was a number she had not seen in a while.
"Hello?" The caller hung up. Maura looked at the numbers she entered in the phone. "It's not in here. Must have been a sales person or something." Ash is looking deeper into the book.
"You look cute, been dancing for a while huh?" There is a picture with Maura trying to imitate a dance her mom is doing. "For 13 years, bit it's no big really. What were you saying before my cell rang?" Ash looks at her then looks down.
"Oh it' nothing, just forget it."
"Oh, okay then" Time passes and the sun sets. Both went to the other how they felt. But neither of them brought it up. They just flipped through the book and watched the stars. Pointing out different pokemon in the sky, they laughed and giggled.
"I'm sorry ash. It's almost ten. I promised my dad that I'd be back by then to play in family game night."
"It's okay. Shall I see you tomorrow then?"
"Sure, I'll catch ya on the flip side." They hugged and Maura hopped onto her bike, not forgetting the book of course. Ash just sat there watching the stars, and smiled when he saw a Pikachu.
What do you think? Now it's review time, and time for me to start chapter five! Chapter five will be called "The unknown Caller".
