A fun, short one for you all. This comes from the third track off of the CD!


Winter is the Coolest Time of Year

Picture this scene in your head, if you will.

A forest of green, filled with tall, lush pine trees. A blue shutter cottage, gray in color but not in a way that makes it drab. It's a soft gray, almost silver, and the cottage itself appears small and cozy. This small house sits in the clearing of the green forest, open to anyone who is traveling through and needs a place to stay for the night.

Now picture this same scene, with the beautiful trees and the comfy cottage, but covered in snow. Snow that is freshly fallen; crystal white and pure. The air is chilly, the sky crystal clear now that all of the snow has settled. There's excitement floating all around; you can feel it in your bones just like the cool wind that whips through.

And that's because winter is the coolest time of year.

"Come on guys, let's make a snowman!"

Misty threw open the front door of this gray cottage, her emerald eyes sparkling at the sight of all the snow there was to play with. She was dressed appropriately for the occasion: a red wool coat, double breasted with dark anchor buttons running down both sides. Her skinny jeans were tucked neatly into a pair of black, quilted snow boots, which matched the black scarf wrapped around her neck, and the black hat and gloves she was also sporting.

Giggling, Misty ran out into the open field, kicking up the fluffy white snow around her as she charged gleefully.

"I have a better idea, Misty!"

The gym leader whipped around, the smile widening on her face. "What's that, Ash?"

The dark haired Pokémon Master came dashing outside as well, looking just as warm as Misty in his bright blue puffer jacket, the usual baseball cap on his head replaced by a red knit winter hat and the fingerless gloves replaced with full gloves also made of red knit. He did, however, keep on his regular sneakers to play.

"Let's make a snow-mon!"

"Haha!" Misty laughed brightly, running towards her man to wrap her arms around him. "Perfect!" Pulling away from him, but keeping her hands on his shoulders, Misty continued, "How about a Tenta-cool?"

Grinning his usual goofy grin, Ash placed his hands on Misty's back and lowered them as he replied, "or a Fridgetto!"

Leaning in, Misty kissed Ash heatedly on the lips before biting his lower lip, growling in a somehow perfect mixture of seductiveness and playfulness, "let's build a Butterfreeze!"

"Could we continue this discussion inside? Where it's warm?"

Misty peered over Ash's shoulder, and, in turn, Ash looked over his own shoulder, not bothering to move his hands from where they rested on Misty's body. What they found was Brock, standing in the doorway of the gray cottage, his arms wrapped around himself as he shivered valiantly. He, unlike the two lovebirds standing before him, was not properly dressed for the season; lacking a winter coat and wearing nothing but a short sleeved t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

"Oh, come on, Brock," Misty teased her friend, pressing a kiss against Ash's cheek before continuing, "It's cool out here."

"Yeah, too cool," Brock deadpanned, realizing just where Ash was holding onto his fiancée.

"Misty," Ash prodded teasingly, giving the young woman a sweet kiss on her forehead and leaving his lips there to murmur against her skin, "We got to get Brock to chill out."

She toyed with the zipper on Ash's coat as she thought, allowing the handsome, raven haired young man to cover her with hot, passionate kisses all over her face. "I know how!" She exclaimed suddenly, eyes glinting with mischievousness.

Ash quickly caught onto the shine and smirked. "Me too!"

Being on the same wavelength, as such couples like them who were so madly in love and so alike usually were, Ash and Misty both gathered snow in their gloved hands, trying desperately to hide the icy stuff behind their backs as they flitted towards Brock. The aspiring Pokémon Doctor was confused, at first, but as soon as he saw the looks on his two best friends' faces, he knew something was about to go down. Something that he wasn't going to like one little bit.

"Wait, no!" Brock cried, backing into the cottage, frantically waving his hands in front of himself. "Not snow down my back! Guys, don't!"


This one was really fun to write. I love flirty Ash and Misty!
