Ameya: This is one of my few stories to NOT have a lemon in it, it's just innocent fun, though sex is lightly mentioned.
Enjoy! And please leave a review ;)

Suddenly the clock struck five and the trio were still snoring away, Misty got up from the chime of the clock and arose to her feet, carefully slipping on her wooden sandals. "Ugh, guys, time to get up." She said while yawning and shook Ash violently, he finally opened up his eyes and stared at the red head, "W-what time is it?" He stretched as Dawn clung onto him even more.
"It's five," She said as she kissed him on the lips and smiled, "Time to get ready! We only have one more hour to go." Ash pulled her back to him and kissed her back on the lips; she blushed deeply and continued the kiss. Ash unfortunately didn't French kiss her back like she so wholeheartedly wanted, but a kiss was good enough in her eyes.
"Let's get moving," Misty smiled at Ash in the eyes as he glanced passed her, then felt Dawn tug at his arm and snore lightly. "You too missy, het up!" She yelled growing more impatient, "Just one more minute…" Dawn mumbled and quickly went back to sleep.
"Ugh, you two are so lazy." Misty sighed and shook her head, "I won't be leaving the room till the both of you are up." She crossed her arms and stared at the two lovebirds, slightly jealous that Dawn got even closer to him; Misty felt left out slightly. She longed to be closer to Ash, but something was blocking the two from becoming close, it seemed it was Dawn. I want to get rid of this problem Misty thought to herself as she fell to the floor in anger and suddenly burst out, "Get up Dawn! Let go of Ash and get your butt downstairs before I move it for you!"
This startled Dawn and Ash as they both fell to the ground in shock and stared up at the raging red head.
"H-huh?" The bluette stared at Misty and shook her head while staring wide eyed at her, "I-I am up! I am up!" She arose quickly to her feet and saluted her like a soldier would to his sergeant. Ash also got up and smiled awkwardly at the two girls then ran downstairs as the tension grew more and more between Dawn and Misty.
Dawn put on her wooden sandals and looked up at Misty who loomed over her, "Who did Ash say was better?" Dawn stared at her in confusion, "Better at what?" She asked while scratching her head, the question made no sense to her so she just tilted her head.
"Who pleasures Ash better? Did he say?" She had a smug look on her face as she walked circles around Dawn, like a bird stalking its prey.
"N-No!" She was honestly telling the truth, Ash never DID say who was better at pleasuring him, but she was assuming she did a better job since Ash seemed to like Dawn more, but she wasn't quite sure either. The question made her feel rather uneasy and almost…..almost jealous for some reason.
"Let's just go downstairs!" Dawn shouted and attempted to run downstairs, but Misty caught the back of her kimono quickly. "Now tell me, how does it feel when Ash pleasures you, is it in love or lust?" She glared at her and awaited an answer.
"Love of course! He wouldn't be doing what he does from lust, I have been around him for far to long"
"Really now? But I have been traveling with him far longer than you have, and before you have." Misty glared at Dawn and shot her an angry look.
"Can we just get ready to go downstairs?" Dawn nervously asked and tried to slip away from Misty's harsh grip, but she was afraid of tearing her favorite kimono, so she gave up.
"Did you lose your virginity to Ash, or was it someone before him?"
"I lost it to him, he popped my cherry first, no one ever touched him before." She watched as Misty's cold eyes watched her and clenched her teeth. "Well that's nice, so did I!" Misty lied through her clenched teeth, she really lost it to another guy that she met along the way. She wished she had waited instead of losing it to someone she now hates.
"Is that all now?" Dawn asked as she once more tried to get loose of her grip.
"Y-yes it is… I'll be down soon." She let go of Dawn's kimono and Dawn ran down the stairs, while her sandals made a clunking sound.
"That bitch… I can't believe Dawn lost her virginity to Ash before I got to him" She sighed, "But at least I took Ash's virginity before she was able to take it!" She raised her fists in the air as if she had won something she really wanted, well; this was something to brag about to Dawn the next time they were together…. But Misty preferred to be with Ash instead of her enemy. She finally recalled all her thoughts and stammered out the door. "It's almost time!" She smiled and ran down the stairs clumsily in her wooden sandals that made her taller than she already was.
The two were sipping hot cocoa as Piplup and Pikachu were excitedly chasing another, anticipating the festival more than the trio was. There was tension between everyone for some reason, as if Ash and Dawn were talking about something inappropriate for the occasion.
"Ready for the festival?" Misty chimed in and sat down between Ash and Dawn, making the tension ease out a bit more. They both nodded and stared at the clock, it was Five thirty exactly.
"Getting ready for the festival?" Nurse Joy asked with a perky voice and smiled widely while staring at the trio and their Pokémon.
"Yes, we are, "Misty smiled back at her and nodded happily, "It's going to be so much fun!"
Pikachu and Piplup stared at the snow falling down so slowly outside of the window and counted the snowflakes, they both lost track after one hundred. "Pika pi" Pikachu laughs and pats Piplup on the back.
Time quickly flies as the clock strikes six times, "It's time!" Misty clasps her hands together in excitement and stands up, then grabs Ash's free hand and helps him up, but continues to hold it while Dawn grabs the other and holds it tightly.
The heroes walk outside as the cold breezes greet them and whisper into the Pokémon Center. Pikachu jumps on Ash's shoulder as Piplup follows Dawn for her arm was occupied by Ash's.
"Let's get going!" Misty cheerfully walks into the cold air and walks on the snow, staring up into the dark night sky, lit up by lanterns everywhere. The festival was just outside the Pokémon Center. The snow continues and gets lit up beautifully by the light, sparkling down on them.
There were stands everywhere! Stands for entertainment, singers, talented artists sketching other Pokémon trainers, food stands, everything! It just amazed the three friends, they didn't know where to start. Misty took the lead and walked over to an apple bobbing contest.
"Hello young trainer, do you wish to try? You will win a lantern balloon if you grab the apple" The old man with a red kimono said, sitting on a blanket that was over the cold snow.
"Yes! I'll try my luck." Misty let go of Ash's hand and stuck her head into the cold water, and quickly grabbed the apple with her mouth. She was rather good at this for she had practiced this as a young child quite often.
"Congratulations, you win!" The wrinkled old man handed Misty a bright pink lantern balloon, "You with the black hair, do you wish to try?" The man pointed at Ash and smiled but Ash shook his head; this wasn't quite his thing, so the heroes left the stand and went elsewhere.
Dawn's eyes sparkled as she saw a stand full of beautiful ribbons, "Win me one of those, Ash?" She asked in an innocent voice that was pretty high pitched, the goal was to shoot a lantern with a gun that had water in it.
"Sure thing Dawn, I'll try my best… For you!" He smiled and let go of Dawn's hand and grabbed the gun quickly, it was made out of wood but sprayed painted black.
"Wish to try your luck at winning your girlfriend a ribbon?" A woman with jet black hair asked, she had about three pink ribbons in her hair with a white kimono, sitting on a high metal chair.
Misty shrugged this comment off and glared at the lady, she ignored the glare and focused on Ash. She was also somewhat attracted to him. He was a good looking man, so it wasn't unusual for girls to go after him. "Here we go!" Ash cried out as he aimed carefully for the lantern and shot at it, he missed at first but he had three tries. At the third try he got it perfectly on the dot. The young woman clapped and smiled, "Which ribbon would you like?" Ash looked at Dawn as she pointed at the yellow one, so he chose the beautiful yellow one and put it in her hair on the side of her head.
"You look beautiful." The young lady commented and smiled, "Good job there, sir." She winked at him as they passed the stand and looked elsewhere.
"Hey, this looks fun!" Ash ran off to a stand that tested one's strength with a hammer, the person holding the hammer was to hit the button as hard as he could to show off his strength.
"Young man, you look strong, wish to test you luck at this?" A buff looking middle aged man asked, wearing a black sleeveless kimono and carrying a huge hammer. "Give it a try and win a lantern that you launched off into the sky and watch it light up the sky. I am sure these beautiful girls would like to see that… and just how strong you are." He smiled widely and handed him the hammer, Ash almost fell over as he held onto it.
"Whoa!" Ash stumbled forward as he reached the spot he was supposed to hit. "Here we go!" The girls stared at him in awe and awaited him to lift the heavy hammer, he struggled and tried hard to show off in front of his "Friends". He finally lifted the hammer above his head and slammed it down on the button, he looked up at the chart that showed just how hard he hit and it revealed "Burly" which was second to the top.
"Good enough fella," The man handed Ash the lantern and smiled, "Not bad for someone as skinny as you." He laughed and took the hammer back; making it look like it was a light as a feather.
The trio watched as Ash launched the lantern up into the air, it lit up the starry sky and looked as beautiful as a blooming flower in the Spring. "Wow! So pretty!" Misty remarked and smiled and Dawn did as well, grabbing onto Ash's free hand and smiled as well. When the lantern flew out of sight the trio wandered the area, watching excited trainers run around and enjoy the time with mostly their lovers.
"Where to next?" Ash asked and glanced at both girls, waiting for them to lead him. "There!" Misty pointed, as Dawn pointed in the opposite direction, pulling Ash two different directions, "Hey!" Ash shouted in agony and pulled the girls to himself, "How about we get a painting of the three of us together?" He laughed and walked toward the direction of the talented artist.
"Hello there, trainers, do you want a painting of the three of you?" The male artist asked, with paint all over his hands and apron. They nodded as the artist motioned for them to sit on the chairs in front of him. "Strike a pose!" The artist said while smiling, and the two girls kissed Ash on the cheek and remained very still. Ash blushed a bright shade of red, trying to control it so it wouldn't be added on the painting, but he couldn't control it.
"Done!" the artist smiled widely after several minutes passed, "Take a look" He waited for them to get out of their seats and look at the painting. "Magnificent isn't it?" He eagerly awaited an opinion.
"Beautiful! Looks just like us!" Dawn remarked and smiled staring at herself kissing Ash's right cheek while Misty was kissing his left one, then laughed at Ash's face. He looked shocked and was blushing at the same time. Ash sighed and looked away, but waited for the paint to dry before he picked it up.
It took about ten minutes for the paint to fully dry, so they watched the snow fall beautifully and the girls relaxed next to Ash, resting their heads on his shoulders. "This is so pretty" Misty pointed out and watched several lanterns escape into the starry night sky, apparently several trainers won the strength contest for they kept seeing the lanterns in the air.
"Done!" the artist ended their moment of romance and handed the trio the painting, "Who's going to keep it?" he asked and laughed uneasily.
"U-umm…" Ash scratched the back of his head, "I am… not sure." He looked at the girls who both eagerly wanted it, "I guess I'll keep it and have it scanned then share it with Dawn and Misty." He quickly thought up this idea and he held onto the painting, Dawn grabbed Ash's arm and held onto it, as Misty did the same.
"What time is it?" Misty asked, looking for a clock.
"Ahh, who cares as long as we're having fun," Ash smiled at her and continued walking around the festival area. "What shall we do next?"
Hours quickly passed as they all had continued to have fun, meeting new trainers on their way. Midnight was quickly coming however; almost time to end the night with a pleasing sight of fireworks.
The trio were growing more and more eager as time passed quickly. Who will win Ash's kiss first?
