Hola everyone :) I'M SO EXCITED! And no it's not because I updated a story, Catching fire comes out in just under two weeks or that I got a new phone. Well maybe the phone part helps because it's and iPhone 5s! Eep! :) The reason I'm so excited is because it's my birthday in 6 days! November 16th baby :) Best day ever...

Enough Ranting. Enjoy.

Mondays

Everyone hates Mondays.

That is, everyone except Ash Ketchum.

Mondays mark the beginning of a new week and a start of five more days of school hell.

"How on Earth could you possibly like Mondays Ash?" Misty grumbled and she and Ash walked to school together one Monday morning.

"I dunno..." He mumbled. "They're just not really as bad as people think..."

Misty snorted. "Yeah right. Monday means waking up early."

"I suppose. But it also means that we see our friends again after a weekend." Ash countered.

"Monday means the weekend is over. You could easily see your friends over the weekend." Misty complained.

"If you see it that way, Misty. However, Mondays also means it's unlikely to rain as it's the least rainy day of the week." Ash commented smartly.

"Fine if you want to get smart," Misty smirked. "Let's get smart. Mondays are the most likely days for heart attacks and suicides."

"They're also the least productive day so teachers and employers don't expect as much work done."

"You have to spend six whole hours at school!" Misty groaned.

"We spend six hours at school." Ash nodded.

"Huh?" Misty asked in confusion.

"Think of it from a parent's perspective." Ash said.

"Oh. Well everyone's grumpy and tired and no one gets along well."

"Yes, but it's the one day of the week you don't have to apologize for being rude and there's a perfect excuse to be tired."

"Monday always marks the first day back to school after holidays."

"At least you'll never forget what day school starts on."

"It make you realize that you have to come up with five new outfits for the week."

"It also lets you choose from a full, clean closet. Most people do their laundry on the weekend."

"When did you get so smart!" Misty growled in frustration.

"When did you start noticing I was smart?" Ash replied.

"Around ten seconds ago." Misty drawled sarcastically.

"Well, Misty, you just realized I was smart. What day is it? It's Monday. So there's another good thing about Monday."

"Hmph..." Misty pouted.

"Not to mention, you can drink more caffeine on Mondays and it doesn't affect you nearly as much."

"Really? I never thought of that..." Misty murmured.

"Also, there's considerably less traffic on Monday than there is on Friday or the weekend. That is, unless you're downtown."

"Now you're just making stuff up." She growled.

"Actually I'm not. Almost everything I'm telling you is scientifically proven and I whole-heartedly agree."

"Well then Ash, explain to me, in your words, why Mondays mean so much to you alone as a person. Why is Monday the best day of the week?" Misty asked smugly, thinking she'd have stumped him.

"There are a lot of things about Monday I don't like." Ash noted.

"Ha!" Misty grinned.

"However," he held up a finger in her direction. "The goods outweigh the bad."

"Pray tell." She grumbled.

"Well, a bad thing is that you and I argue a lot on Mondays. A good thing is that you think I'm smartest on Mondays because you're brain is so tired." Ash explained.

"Maybe that's true..."

"Also, everyone is quite tired. I, however, happen to feel very awake on Mondays because I drink more caffeine than usual, like I said before, and it barely affects me." Ash grinned.

"Of course you're thinking about sugars and energy hypes."

"Monday does mean that I have to face people I don't necessarily like at school, but it also means I see my friends that I may not have seen over the weekend again." He continued.

"Okay okay. I gues you have some pretty good points. Maybe Mondays aren't as bad as I thought they were." Misty admitted.

"That's the spirit! They even start with an M! Just like your name!" Ash cheered.

"Why does that matter?" Misty asked, confused.

"You want to know my favourite reason why Monday is the best day of the week?" He asked, a grin plastered on his face.

Misty looked up and saw they were right in front of the school. "I guess." She shrugged.

"Because Misty, on a Monday, that's when I met you." Ash flashed Misty a shy and bright smile before disappearing into the school.

Misty watched after Ash, her cheeks red.

Maybe Mondays weren't so bad after all...
