Well! I got this out quickly! I can't promise the same for the rest of the chapters, but I'll try! Anyway, hope you guys enjoy!
"Are you gonna be angry at me all night?"
Silence.
"Because if you're gonna be angry at me all night, it's not going to make the situation any better."
More silence.
"Mistyyyy! Talk to meeee!" Okay, I was whining now.
But you know what? I didn't even care at that point because the silence was killing me, and to be honest, I wasn't too sure how serious she was about that whole throwing me off the roof thing, and I figured if I got her talking I would at least know if she was coming and could prepare for it.
Oh, she was looking at me! That was a start!
Her eyes narrowed.
Crap.
"Ash, you knocked the ladder down and got us stuck on the roof of a six story Pokemon libratory at sundown, with little to know chance of being found for an entire weekend. We don't have food, we don't have water, and we don't have a bathroom. Where in this situation is a reason for me not to be mad at you?"
I shrugged, "If I didn't, we probably wouldn't be watching this awesome sunset?" It was true, Pallet Town sunsets have always been really pretty, and tonight was no exception. From our spot on the roof, we had a great view.
This seemed to make some kind of impact on her. Her face softened slightly, and I almost noticed a small smile as she took a glance to the west. "I guess you're right…" She smiled, "You're still an idiot though."
I grinned, there was an unspoken agreement that she wasn't going to act mad at me anymore, "Yeah, I know."
She smiled, I smiled back, and we both continued to watch the sun set together in a comfortable (thank Ho-oh) silence.
We sat like that as the sun sank below the horizon, and braced ourselves for the incoming wave of coolness that came in as the sun left. It always surprised me how even the most beautiful summer days and can have the briskest nights.
Misty shivered a little next to me, and I instantly felt guilty. The girl was wearing a tank top and shorts for crying out loud! If I was cold, then I couldn't even imagine how she must have felt. I slipped off my jacket and held it out at arms length for her.
"Here Misty, why don't you barrow my jacket?"
"W-what?"
My heart sank, she was shivering so bad her words were getting stumbled, "It's gonna get pretty cold tonight. Here," I got up and put my jacket over her shoulders, it was the least I could do, a shiver went though her whole body even as I put the jacket on her, "There. I know it isn't much, but it should at least help a little."
She seemed almost lost for words at this point, which I thought was a little weird, but didn't think too much of it, "Thank you, Ash."
I smiled, "No problem, Misty!"
I still felt a little bad for her, the moon was just coming out, so there was just enough light to see how red her cheeks were. She must have been really cold. "Why did you do that?" she asked quietly.
"Do what?"
"Give me your jacket."
"Oh, well, you look cold." It really wasn't that big of a deal. I was wearing a t-shirt and jacket and long pants, so it only made sense to lend her something.
Misty obviously seemed to think it was the nicest thing anyone had ever done ever. She had her arms wrapped around her legs, which were brought up to her chest, and she was avoiding making eye contact with me, for some reason.
"It was just… really nice of you, Ash." She paused, "I appreciate it."
I shrugged and smiled, "You're welcome."
We fell into a comfortable silence again, until my stomach decided to put an end to it.
Misty giggled and I laughed, embarrassed, "Well, I haven't eaten since lunch…" My stomach made itself heard again, and I fell back onto the roof, holding my empty belly, "Man, I wish we had some food up here, I don't think I'm gonna make it."
"Well… I wasn't sure if I was going to hate you all night or not, so I didn't mention it in case I ended up not wanting to share…" Misty was smiling in a wicked, arrogant, but somehow nice way and was digging around in her right short pocket.
I was at her side in a second, "You have food?!"
She laughed and pushed me away playfully, "Ash! You're drooling on me!"
"I'm so hungry, Misty!" I grabbed her shoulder and looked her in the eyes, "Please tell me you have food."
With a smirk, she produced from her pocket the most beautiful granola bar I had ever seen. "Tah-dah!"
"I think I'm in love with you."
She giggled again, which I noticed was kind of a common occurrence that night, and broke it in half for us to share. And let me just tell you. That granola bar was the single greatest thing I have ever had the pleasure to consume. I didn't even care that it was low fat, and had dried fruit where the chocolate chips were supposed to be. This thing was heavenly.
Yeah. I was really hungry.
Misty was folding up the wrapper and putting it back in her pocket, "Just so you know, I have one more of those, but I think we should hold on to it for a while, in case we're up here for a while."
"Good idea," I really didn't think it was a good idea, because half of a low fat, fruit granola bar does not fill up Ash Ketchum, but I agreed with her anyway, because Misty has always been the smart one.
Misty and I finished the granola bar, and leaned back on the roof to watch as the stars all started to come out. It was actually really nice and peaceful, until we heard a faint snap of a stick from on the ground.
"Ash, did you hear that?"
"Yeah I did!" I crawled over to the end of the roof and looked over the edge carefully, "Hey! Anyone down there?"
I couldn't see anything on the ground, but after a couple of seconds, I heard a reply, "Ash? Was that you?"
"Brock?!"
There you have it! Like I said, I'll try to get the next chapter out by next Friday, so keep watching for it! :) Have a good day! And don't forget to review it! Reviews inspire me to write faster!
