Gah I'm sorry it took me so long to post this! Long story short this was hard to write for me, but I finally did it! I'm so happy this story is over but I'm a little sad because it was really fun to write this. Oh well, maybe I can think of something else. I beg all of you to critique my writing! I can't get better unless I get more replies! You can say I suck for all I care, I'm not a professional only practicing. But anyway I have a couple more ideas in my head for stories so once I get in the mood I shall write again! Enjoy and thank you all for reading!
Chapter 11: Marry Me If You Can
"What?!" the screams of Misty's older sisters filled the hallway.
"What do you mean you can't find her?" Daisy repeated.
"Why didn't you tell us this sooner?" Violet yelled.
"I would have but someone told me to knock on the door and waste time!" Lily yelled back.
"Now come on you two," Daisy got up now, her flowing hair remarkably straight for the first time in years. "Let's take this slow. Now Lily, are you sure she was nowhere to be found once you left her room?" Lily nodded, and Daisy continued, "Alright then, the logical thing to do would be to look for her. Since this church is kind of big, and if she went outside we wouldn't know our way around, I suggest that we split up. Try to find the other girls, and see if they have seen her. Remember try not to get lost, and also remember that we are on a time limit here, we have like only an hour to find her so let's do our best—and no fighting ok?"
Lily and Violet nodded again, and they left from the small room, giving some time for Daisy to look in the mirror. "Why is my hair so straight?" She didn't usually like it straight, but settled for it under the circumstances. She shook her head a bit. "At least it's still curly on the ends. Alright, time to find my little sister."
Daisy ran out into the hallway and ran straight ahead, hoping she would run into someone along the way. Sure enough, the first people she saw were Kenny and Dawn, coming up the stairs and heading into their respective rooms.
"Dawn! I'm so glad I ran into you!" she sighed happily.
"Daisy…wow your hair looks different, did you straighten it? It came out really well," Dawn noticed.
The blond smiled. "I sort of did it by accident…but that's not what I wanted to say. I was wondering if any of you have seen Misty?"
Both Dawn and Kenny shook their heads. "We just came from outside and we didn't see her at all," Kenny said. "Is there something wrong?"
"Not yet," Daisy confirmed, then with a bit of a sigh she ran down the steps, taking care not to trip on the way down.
"You don't think anything is wrong do you?" Dawn asked.
Meanwhile Lily had found May and asked her to help search for Misty. Little did May know that she would end up searching all the rooms on the west side of the church by herself, while Lily stood and gave her orders from time to time.
"Are you sure she isn't outside?" May asked after looking into the fifth room. Lily sighed tiredly.
"What do you mean? I'm looking down the hallway…"
May sighed and narrowed her eyes. So this is what Misty has to put up with…
Violet, on the other hand, found herself completely distracted while looking for Misty. She somehow ran into Kai, and stared dreamily into his face so much that she completely forgot what she was doing in the first place.
Kai smiled innocently. "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"
Violet giggled. She always felt like a school girl when she was around him. "Nothing, nothing. Just me…" she reached up to give him a kiss on the cheek.
Kai laughed. "You're adorable you know that right?" Violet giggled again, and nodded sheepishly, her mind drifting further away.
Daisy found herself outside, looking around frantically. She wanted to yell out Misty's name, but at fear that someone else would hear it, she kept quiet. The January air draped across her bare arms. She shivered and attempted to rub them a little.
"She wouldn't really leave would she?" she whispered to herself. Her mind faintly trailed back to a conversation she had with Misty just last week.
"So Misty, are you nervous about the wedding? Around this time next week you won't be single anymore," Daisy replied. She sat down in a chair next to the kitchen table. Misty was cooking rice for dinner on the stove and had her back turned.
Misty turned around and looked at her older sister. "Well, to be honest…I'm terrified. It scares me, since I've never been married before. I don't know what to expect or what Ash would expect of me. But then, when I started to think about it more, Ash doesn't really know any more than I do. He might be just as scared and nervous as I am. When I think about that, I don't feel so nervous anymore. It feels a little cruel to think that way, but I rather feel that I'm not alone in this."
Daisy smiled. She never felt prouder of her younger sister, especially after going through all that she had gone through. "You're not alone, Misty, I bet plenty of women feel this way. Don't worry you'll do fine. You're a good person so you have to be a good wife as well."
Misty laughed. "Thanks Daisy that made my day." She smiled warmly and then continued cooking.
Daisy placed her hands on her chin and leaned forward onto the table. Misty is so lucky…I wonder if I will ever come across the same good fortune…
She shook her head to snap her out of her daydream. No! Misty wouldn't leave like that! Sure she had cold feet, but Misty's never the kind of person to just get up and run away.
She searched around a bit more, and came across a small lake that was shadowed by a large cherry blossom tree. Underneath the tree, Daisy noticed part of a white dress sticking out from the blossom pedals on the ground.
"Misty!" she ran happily around the bark, to see Misty sleeping peacefully at the base of the tree. "She was sleeping all this time?" She looked around a bit more, but only saw a flock of Pidgey flying from the top of a tree a few feet away. Daisy knelt down and shook her. "Misty…Misty…Misty!"
Misty jumped nearly six feet in shock. "What the—? Daisy what are you yelling for! You scared me half to death!"
"Hey I was trying to wake you for your wedding! Don't be so snippy!" Daisy yelled back. She got back to her feet and placed her hands on her hips. "We were looking all over for you! You had us worried sick!"
Misty's face turned from angry to sentimental. "Oh Daisy, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you guys worry. Hey but wait, didn't you get my note?"
"Your note?"
At this Daisy and Misty turned around to see Lily, May and Dawn rush up to them. "Oh thank goodness you found Misty. We were so worried," Lily said.
"I'm sorry," Misty stood up now, staggering on her heels, "I thought for sure you that you guys would get my note. I said that I would be going outside if anyone needed me, and if I'm not back in a little while to come look for me out here. Maybe it fell on the floor or something."
"I knew it! See I told you, Lily, Ms. Ketchum said she saw Misty out here when we ran into her. She said Misty was complimenting her Skarmory," May said.
"A note? The note!" Lily realized. "Oh man, that must have been what was on the floor! I thought it was trash and I didn't see any writing on it so I just picked it up and threw it away! I must have been looking at the back the whole time…"
Everyone laughed while Violet's voice rang from behind Lily. "You mean to tell us that you knew this whole time and you had us all looking for like an hour?!"
Lily's eyes narrowed as she turned around. "How could I have known? I thought it was just a random piece of trash on the floor so I just threw it away. Weren't you listening?"
"You didn't think it was strange that a piece of paper was on the ground when you walked into Misty's room?" Violet yelled.
"Yeah, that's why I called it random!" Lily yelled back. Once again the two feuding sisters were in a staring match until once again Daisy intervened.
"Alright you two that's enough. Besides, none of that matters now. We found Misty, and now we can continue on."
"I didn't make everyone wait did I?" Misty asked.
"Nah, we found you with about twenty minutes left to spare," Dawn answered.
"Oh wow Misty look you're covered with cherry blossom pedals! You look so cute!" May nearly squealed at the sight of Misty in her white dress covered by light pink and white pedals.
Misty noticed this and tried to shake them off, but Lily stopped her. "Hold on that can add to the scenery! Those pedals add a nice touch to you." She reached up and shook a low lying branch, scattering even more pedals on her.
"Lily! Come on they're going to get in my hair now!" Misty protested.
Lily only laughed. "I don't think so. Besides, you smell better now with them on you."
"What?!" Misty lunged forth at Lily but she darted away at the last second. "Let's see how you smell after I kick your—"
"Misty!" Daisy interrupted. "Come on, it's my job to get you to the altar and I swear I will if it kills me." She grabbed her hand and pulled her along back to the church, despite Misty's protests to punch Lily in the face.
Once Daisy had led Misty inside everyone found that the minutes were slowly ticking away. May and Dawn were checking their hair one last time in the mirror. Drew sat in a chair next to Kenny and the fidgeting Barry, twirling a rose between his thumb and index finger. Misty's cousins had already taken their places in their seats in the pews, texting to their friends about how excited they were. Lily and Violet had finally stopped arguing and began to reapply makeup. Delia was talking to Ash's aunt Liza about how pregnant she looked for four months, and had predicted that she would have another boy. Brock, Tracy, and Ash were also getting ready to take their respective places, while Daisy was keeping Misty company in Misty's room.
Misty looked into the mirror again. Even she had to admit she never looked this beautiful, but she was more worried about saying her vows for Ash in front of everyone. She didn't want to admit this, but the nervousness was finally beginning to set in, and although she tried hard to stay focused she had forgotten all of her vows that she had written. Usually performing in front of a crowd never bothered her, but of course this was completely different. This wasn't acting, this was marriage, and in the end there is no script that Misty could just automatically memorize. She bit her bottom lip in anticipation, tapping her fingers on the desk in front of her.
"You look nervous," Daisy said, breaking the silence between them.
Misty flashed a brave smile. "Just anxious. I can't believe the day is really here."
"It did come too fast didn't it?" Daisy stood up from her seat, stretching a little.
Misty looked at her and frowned. "Are you alright Daisy?"
Daisy laughed a bit nervously, wondering why everyone was suddenly worried about her. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired now after all this, and the wedding hasn't even begun yet!"
Misty shook her head. "That's not what I mean. You seem a little different, almost like you're in a distant world or something."
Daisy sighed and looked to her beautiful little sister. "Well, I've just been thinking that's all."
"About?" Misty questioned.
Daisy sighed again. "Well it's just, well I just cant believe that all of this is happening. I mean with you getting married, Violet and Kai going back to Unova, and Lily starting art school soon, I cant help but wonder what is going to happen to me? I'm not jealous, in fact I'm proud of you all, but now I just cant help but think what to do now. I wish I had some kind of clue."
Misty looked at her older sister, beginning to feel a bit bad for the blond water trainer. It reminded her of how she felt a few years back. Nodding she looked down at her hands. "I know how you feel. I felt the same way when you guys left on that trip around the world and I got stuck at the gym. Then Ash left on his journey and Brock ended up being with him. I felt a bit left out, like everyone was leaving me for their own lives. I also wondered what I should do next."
Daisy's eyes widened. "Really you felt the same way? Wow, I'm sorry Misty I had no idea. Well what did you do? How did you get through it?"
Misty continued to stare at her hands and watched her thumbs twiddle around one another. "Well, I mostly just thought of all the things I wanted to do in life. Something that makes me happy and something that I could be proud of later on. I realized that while traveling with Ash I somehow forgot the main reason I left in the first place: I wanted to be a great water pokemon trainer. So I began to train, and train, and train until I felt confident enough to say that I had achieved one of my dreams. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you also have to find what makes you happy. Find the one thing in life that you want to try to succeed at, and work at it. And don't worry, just because we are all moving on with our lives doesn't mean we can't see each other once in a while, right?"
Daisy smiled broadly. "Of course!" She ran up and wrapped her arms around Misty's body. "Thank you little sister, you're so wonderful." Misty smiled back and wrapped her arms around Daisy in return. They stood there for a few minutes holding each other close until they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Well then," Daisy replied, "That must be our cue." She linked her arm with Misty's and pulled her toward the door. "Alright, let's get you to that altar!"
Finally after months of preparation, the day had finally come. Ash couldn't help but get excited for this day, and in some ways he seemed a bit more excited than Misty. He stood anxiously at the altar, his legs swaying from side to side, his heart pounding in his ears. Although he could hear the music of the organ, everything seemed quiet when the women began to walk in, and it also felt like things had slowed down even further. May's steps were awkward and slow, Dawn's were a bit bouncy but restrained, Lily and Violet were both quick and short, but even those seemed as slow as molasses. Then, before he could even realize it, his breath hitched in his throat and he knew what was next as everyone in the audience begun to stand. Every eye locked on her. Her long beautiful dress, her flowing red hair, her slightly long light blue trail, her hands clutched tightly to her bouquet of bright red roses, and her small feet poking out from underneath her dress with each step. But her eyes were locked on him, and his eyes could see nothing but her.
At this moment, his body seemed to have a will of its own. Ash walked forward and grabbed her hands, rubbing them tenderly with his thumbs. As soon as the black haired man looked into his love's eyes, he was stunned by her beauty. So stunned in fact, that he had instantly forgotten all of his wedding vows, the very words he spent at least a month trying to write and remember. Ash didn't mind this too much however, he knew he was horrible at speeches and probably had a 40 to 60 chance of saying it right in the first place.
The minister of Pallet smiled sweetly at the two young lovers, and then motioned for the rest of the audience to sit, except for those in front around the bride and groom. He inhaled deeply and began by saying, "I would like to thank you all for coming to this joyous occasion. This is the day that we have all gathered to see such a happy moment for these two young people in the holy union of marriage. Now then, who is it that gives this woman away?"
"I do," Daisy said, almost in a whisper. She took her arm that was wrapped around Misty's and put her hand in Ash's. Daisy gave a warm smile to both of them as she sat down next to Violet.
Ash turned back to Misty, his mind swarmed in a million thoughts, and shook his head slightly as he gazed on her. Misty tilted her head. "What?" she whispered.
Ash began to blush like a little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "I was just admiring your pedals," he chuckled as he used his head to point to a pink flower pedal on her left shoulder.
"Oh…" Misty brought her hand up to dust it off but it seemed like another pedal magically appeared in its place. "Lily thought it would be better if I looked like a cherry blossom tree."
"You were under that tree?" Ash whispered in a bit higher tone, "I love that tree! It's so comfortable I always fall asleep there!"
"I fell asleep under it earlier." Misty giggled. "It was a nice breeze."
"Aw lucky you, and you had gotten the best shade before it got too hot…"
"Ahem," the minister interrupted. "Are you both ready children?"
Ash and Misty began to laugh, embarrassed that they somehow forgot where they were. "Sorry, we're just a bit nervous," Misty explained. That didn't stop the others in the audience from laughing a little.
The old man smiled gently. "Well then, I must say that marriage is a sacred holy union, and it should not be taken lightly. It should be treated with the utmost reverence and respect and must be a mutual agreement between the both of you. You both must know that from this day forward your lives will no longer be faced independently, but as one, and you must make sure you are prepared for that. Now it is through this relationship that these two become one in holy matrimony, however if there is anyone here who objects to this, let him speak now or forever hold his peace."
Misty nervously bit her lower lip, trying to calm her pacing heart. Ash kept thinking how cute she looked, and desperately tried to remember at least one vow he wrote. His heart nearly stopped when he heard the preacher continue, "I understand that the bride and groom have written their own vows. Which one of you would like to go first?"
They both looked at each other, stiff with fear, not knowing what to say. Meanwhile people began to giggle at the sight, the preacher looking from the bride to the groom, while Ash and Misty were trying to figure out how to get the other to speak. Before Misty could utter a reply Ash beat her to it: "Ladies first!"
Brock chuckled slightly behind him. I bet Ash didn't even write his vows like he was suppose to.
Ritchie laughed inwardly. Knowing Ash's luck he probably forgot what to say.
Barry sighed. If it was me I would have said them already.
Misty suppressed a groan and tried to resist narrowing her eyes at him. Damn, out of all the times now he chooses to be a gentleman.
Daisy smiled. C'mon Mist, you can do this. Just be yourself and speak from your heart.
Misty took a deep breath. "Ash, ever since I met you, it seemed like you've always been a part of me. A part of my hopes, my wishes, my dreams, my future. You have been such a good part of me, and I loved all of it. And now, to see us standing here like this…it really makes me happy, happier than I have ever been. All the time we spent together, all the things we've been through, I'm glad to know that we have gotten here to this moment together too. Ash, you gave me hope for the future, and I always want you to be a part of it. I promise, here and now, to always make you a part of my future. I promise to love you with all my heart, and to comfort you, encourage you, and give you strength just like you have given me. I will give you all of me, and all that I am, and I promise this to you for as long we both shall live."
Dawn almost squealed out loud. That was beautiful! She looked to her right to see May smiling, and wondered if she was thinking the same thing.
Ash smiled. He always knew how Misty felt, and although expressing feelings of love was a bit hard for her, she still knew what to say at all the right moments. Now as it was his time to speak, he held tighter onto Misty's hands for comfort.
"Misty, when I first met you I never imagined that we would be together like this. But throughout all this time that we spent together I realized that I loved to make you happy. I love to see your smile and hear your laugh and see your bright eyes sparkle like diamonds. I always want to see that in you, so I promise with all of my heart, here and now, to always try my hardest to make you happy. I promise to honor you, and respect you, and give you all of my love. I promise to give you all of me, and all that I am throughout both of our lives as long as we both shall live."
May smiled to herself, proud of her friends for finally taking the major plunge to be together. She glanced at Drew, only to realize he was looking directly at her. Once their eyes locked they both turned away, a slight blush forming on their cheeks. The minister nodded and began to speak again, "You have both accepted each other and the bond that you have between one another. Now present the rings please."
At this moment Pikachu came up to Ash's leg, trying to balance the rings on his pillow, but what Ash noticed was that one of his best friends and pokemon was crying.
"Aw, Pikachu," Ash murmured as he knelt down to it, "Why the tears buddy?"
Misty knelt down beside Ash. "Aw don't be so sad Pikachu, it's ok."
Pikachu began to mumble back through his tears and Ash began to smile in understanding. "Now it makes sense, that's why you've been quiet today huh? You think that since I'm marrying Misty you would get placed on the back burner?"
Misty shook her head and Pikachu slowly nodded. "There's no way we would do that to you, Pikachu, after all you were the reason we were always together in the first place! There's no way we would ever forget about you, or replace you. You're our best friend, Pikachu."
Pikachu smiled happily and jumped into Misty's arms, forgetting about the pillow he was holding in the process. Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the sight, even the minister, who whispered something under his breath about crazy weddings. Luckily, Ash caught the pillow in the nick of time and saved the rings. After the brief hug, Pikachu jumped out of Misty's arms and sat on the pillow beside Ash's feet, looking up in curiosity.
After that the minister continued, "Now Ash place the ring on Misty's left third finger and repeat after me: This ring I give to you is a testament of my faith, love, and commitment to you."
Once Ash did as he was told the minister turned back to Misty. "Now Misty, place the ring on Ash's left third finger and repeat after me: This ring I give to you is a testament of my faith, love, and commitment to you."
Misty repeated the words, although her voice was a bit shaky, and the preacher nodded and continued once again. "Now that Ash and Misty have pledged themselves to one another through the sacred bonds of marriage, I hereby declare that by the power rested in me as the ordained minister of Pallet, and by the power of the Kanto region, I now pronounce you man and wife. Ash, you may kiss your beautiful bride."
Ash lifted Misty's veil, only to be greeted by the sight of Misty giggling. Ash laughed a bit as well, still confused over why she was giggling but he didn't really think about it too much. Misty was about to laugh again when Violet finally got impatient and yelled out: "Just kiss her already!"
This caused everyone to laugh hysterically, but Ash luckily didn't need to be told twice. He leaned forward and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Everyone began to clap, just happy that is was all over and done with, but then—from a secret compartment in the roof—a flock of Pidgey swarmed out and through the aisle of the church. Luckily all the doors were open so they wouldn't run into anything, except for a few windows.
"What the—?" Misty looked around and saw the hole in the ceiling. "How did that get there?"
"Well now, did you like my surprise little sister? I told you I wouldn't ruin it!" Lily stepped forward now, proud of her work.
"Wait, you did this Lily?" Ash asked.
"Of course! I told you the ending would be good, right? What's better than a flock of Pidgey soaring to the skies?" she placed her hands on her hips and closed her eyes, already in dreamland.
"I'll tell you what's wrong with it," Misty answered, "There isn't any sky in a church! Did you put that hole in the ceiling?!"
"Well I needed somewhere to keep the Pidgey until they ran out of food…and they left at the perfect time too!" Lily giggled. Misty tapped her right foot to the ground, her patience running out again. Lily gulped loudly as Daisy whispered in her ear.
"You better run, she doesn't look happy."
Lily laughed nervously, then hauled toward the front of the church as quick as she could. Misty was about to follow, her trusty mallet in hand, when Ash stopped her. "Aw let's her make it this time, Mist, besides the hole isn't that bad and at least those Pidgey weren't dead by the end of all of this." He gazed back up at the ceiling in wonder, then back towards Misty as she realized there was a Pidgey resting on the top of her head.
"Ha ha ha, well would you look at that it looks good on you Misty!" Brock laughed, along with everyone else. The oblivious Pidgey continued to sit on Misty's head, beginning to nibble on a flower pedal in her hair.
Ash slowly reached out and petted the small bird. "You know I think this Pidgey might be a girl. In that case we could turn your hair into a nest and make a home for it!"
Misty huffed. "That's it!" A vein popped in her forehead as she began to chase Ash out of the church, her mallet not too far behind, the little Pidgey still hanging on to the strands of Misty's hair.
Three months later…
Ash was standing on one of the platforms of the Cerulean City gym, headlong into another practice battle with Pikachu and Totodile. "Alright, Pikachu, quick attack!"
"Pika!" Pikachu yelled out as it charged full speed towards the dancing Totodile.
"Totodile, dodge it by jumping into the water!" Totodile managed to do one last dance before it dove into the water, causing Pikachu's attack to miss completely.
"Good job Totodile! You're getting faster!" Ash replied. Totodile jumped back onto the platform, beginning to dance once again. Ash laughed and was about to give Totodile another attack when he heard Misty's voice from another room.
"Ash!" she yelled again, happily running into the gym area. "Guess what I have!" She waved a small white envelope in her hand, her light blue skirt following her motion.
"Well you seem pretty excited, must be a good thing right?"
"Of course!" Misty jumped onto a platform right next to Totodile, giggling as she saw it dance again. "It's the wedding pictures Todd took! You want to see?"
"Yeah I do," Ash said as he jumped onto another platform and held out his arm. "Toss them to me."
Misty laughed. "No way silly, knowing you they will fall into the water!"
"Fine then come over and hand them to me," Ash replied back.
"No!"
"What do you mean no?"
Misty winked playfully. "You got to catch me first!" She laughed and bounced on her platform a little.
"Catch you? That's so childish Misty." Ash smiled.
"C'mon Pokemon master let's see how much you have trained! Let's go Totodile help me out!" Misty smiled as the little croc pokemon jumped beside her.
"Fine then Pikachu will be my partner! Let's get them buddy!" Ash laughed as Pikachu flashed its cheeks in preparation.
"Let's do this!" Misty yelled out excitedly, thrusting her arm into the air. While she was running from platform to platform, trying to escape Ash's attempts to catch her, she couldn't help but think back to all that's happened over the past three months.
Things seemed to finally settle down after the wedding was over with. We were lucky to get Todd to take pictures of us, since he's mostly famous for taking pictures of pokemon, but he was happy to do it because we all knew each other from way back when. The ceremony afterwards was nice, except for when Gary took a picture of Ash kissing my neck and wouldn't give it to Ash. Ash took forever to chase him down, until Gary stepped on Pikachu's tail accidently and got a thundershock for his trouble. Since we haven't been able to find a nice place to live here in Cerulean we decided to crash out here for a while. It all worked out since Violet left right after the wedding and Lily left for school a few weeks ago.
Things are going well for Violet and Kai, and Kai even told me that he's thinking of proposing. I wished him good luck, since Violet probably won't be as flexible as I was when it comes to planning weddings. Lily already started school about two weeks ago and she's already complaining about everything. Daisy left a few days ago to set off her career as an actress on stage, which would be hard since she's never had proper training, but she said she had a connection somewhere.
Meanwhile Dawn, who admitted to Kenny that she loved him the day of the wedding, is still traveling with Kenny through Johto today. They are too cute together. May and Drew are still together as well, although after much discussion and arguing, they decided to travel separately for a year to hone on their skills as coordinators. Brock is still going to school and is at the top of his class, but if only he can get a certain female breeder out of his mind he might be able to lose that dumb look. Brock met back up with Suzy by chance after viewing a seminar she was teaching. To my surprise Brock asked her out and she said yes. Why I will never know. Unfortunately, Tracy and his girlfriend broke up a little after the wedding, and no one still has no idea why. But when Daisy found out this bit of info she was a bit too happy about it.
All of our other friends are doing fine as well, and they are still talking about how Ash and Brock had gotten drunk during the reception and did karaoke…badly. As it turns out Ash's aunt Liza did have a plan for Delia and Professor Oak to get together. I guess we'll never find out exactly what it was but so far it's working...they have been going out for a week now. When Ash found out about this he was speechless at first, but then mumbled something about marriage sucking because he would be related to Gary. I couldn't help but laugh. As for Ash and I it has been three great months since our marriage, three wonderful months I would never take back for the world.
She was broken from her train of thoughts as Ash grabbed her by the shoulder. "I caught you! Muhahaha! Now you will suffer the consequences of being caught by my hand!" Ash faked another evil laugh as Misty rolled her eyes.
"Fine, fine, you win. Here take the pictures I'm starving anyway," Misty said with a mischievous smile. She knelt down to Pikachu and placed the envelope in his paws, while giving him a sly little wink that the small rodent understood easily. She stood back up and placed a hand on his chest. "Well then, congratulations for catching me!" With a slight push, she shoved him into the water, and placed her hands on her hips in satisfaction. Misty laughed. "Looks like you need more training! Let's go eat Pikachu!"
Pikachu happily agreed and joined Misty and Totodile as they walked into the kitchen. Ash came up a few seconds after, spitting water from his mouth. He sighed. "Just as usual, those two are always out to get me."
I hope you guys liked it, although honestly I'm not really happy about the ending, but I think it will work. I forgot to mention during the wedding parts I got stuck and had to listen to music to get back in the love mood. Mostly it was music from Final Fantasy 7, 10, and 13. Anyway I probably won't be able to write anymore until summertime, but who knows what the future has in store. See you soon!
