This takes place before Introduction and hints at that. This is to tide y'all over while I work on something that's taking me a little longer (prompt from Contestshipper16)
Journal- Day 37
Ever since Brock told me to start keeping track of my thoughts, I've finally figured out a few things. First, my spelling was horrible, and it took a few lessons to get it down better. Second, I think about Misty a lot. Like, a lot. I miss her. Dawn is a great traveling partner and friend, but she's no Misty. Same with May. Both girls are awesome, but Misty is incomparable to anyone. I wish I could see her again, but she's busy. She has a gym to run. Well, now Dawn is done setting up the sleeping bags. Time to go. I wonder if I'll dream about Misty again...if only the dream was pleasant. Normally anything with or about Misty is, but the dreams aren't. They're all me reliving seeing her leave. It kills me, to see her keep abandoning me, and never coming back.
Saddened, Ash.
Dear Diary, Day 42
I wish I could see Ash again. I know it's so stupid to think like this. He has his own life, his own dreams, and it's selfish to want him to come back to Kanto. I wonder...he hasn't even called or written...could he have forgotten about me? I know, I know, I say this almost every day, but I can't help it! I'm so sure he's forgotten about me! It's been almost three whole years since I've seen him, and that's too long. Way too long. Ooh, it's late. Time to go; I have to end early tonight. I wonder if I'm going to dream about Ash again. I can see him the clearest in my head when I dream. The only problem is, I dream that he will come back to me. Then I wake up, realizing he really isn't.
Tired of so many things on so many levels, Misty.
Journal- Day 63
The craziest thing just happened! Brock just told me we're going back to Kanto, because he needs to check in with the gym! So I get to see Misty again! It's going to be amazing! Except that it's going to be a surprise...oh, well. That's okay. I'm sure she'll be happy to see us! I know I will! I wonder what she's going to say. We'll be seeing her in almost two weeks, but I can't wait! Hmm, two weeks...how many days is that, again? Better ask Dawn...got it. Fourteen. That would be on day 77. I can't wait!
Thrilled, Ash.
Dear Diary, Day 70
I'm tired of trying to pretend Ash is coming back. It just kills me. He's of in Sinnoh, still trying to complete his job of being Pokémon Master. I know he can do it. But did he have to do it without me?
Finally understanding, Misty.
Journal- Day 75
Only two more days! We're in Pallet Town; I just visited Mom and convinced her not to call up Misty. Then we all went to Professor Oak's lab and saw Tracey and all my Pokémon. It is so awesome to see them all so happy and healthy. I really love them all. But I also just want to leave so I can see Mist...
Sick of waiting, Ash
Dear Diary, Day 76
I think I'm going to take tomorrow off from the gym. It's too hard to wait for Ash to never show up. My sisters are going shopping, so it'll be empty except most of the Pokémon, who are all great battlers now. No problem there. I'm just going to go fishing. In that lake, and think about Ash...and wish he was with me.
Miserably and about to hit the road, Misty.
Journal- Day 77
She wasn't there! It is still the afternoon, like maybe 2:oo, not nighttime when I normally write. But I can't help it, it's so, so, horrible! I'VE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT, AND SHE ISN'T HERE! THAT'S IT, I'M FINDING HER. NOW!
Dear Diary, Day 77
It is still the afternoon. I did leave a note at the gym; I'm here at the lake. It's about 3:30. I skipped lunch, but I'll live. It's not like I haven't done it before. And...someone's coming. Probably a stupid challenger, see ya later.
Hastily, Misty.
Journal- Day 78
Oh my Arceus, oh my Arceus! I found her! Yesterday was so incredible. I think she was crying when I found her at the very lake where we met. She was holding something, a book or something, but it was forgotten when I showed up. Oh, my Misty...I missed her too much. Yesterday was perfect! We spent all day together, doing all the things we did here in Cerulean City. Including battle. I won, but that's okay. She pushed me into the water and we fooled around until Brock and Dawn came to find us. It's morning now, and it's gonna be another amazing day. Why? Because I'm spending it with Misty. That's how I know. By the way, Brock taught me a cool-sounding word. I'm gonna use it...soon...like in the next sentence...We're REUNITED at last.
Happy, happy, happy, Ash.
Dear Diary, Day 78
He came to find me! He found me! I can't even believe it; Ash came back for me! It was like the best day of my life, yesterday. That person I was thinking was a trainer? Well, it sure was a trainer, just not what I expected. We spent the entire day together, and had dinner with Brock and their new traveling partner. At first I was worried about her and Ash, but then she told me about another trainer. His name...I can't remember, but the trainer was described as: "heartless," (by Ash) "quiet and withdrawn," (by Brock) and dark and mysterious" (by Dawn herself.) That's not too important now though, what's important is that Ash is here. Well, the day is starting, and it's another day with Ash. This time, he isn't leaving me for a long time; I know it. Because now, we're reunited, and it's gonna take a lot to separate us again. I just know it.
