Okay everyone! Here's the next chapter! Why is she staring at him like that? That'd be my main question.

"Uh, Misty?" said Ash.

"Hey Misty! Are you feeling alright?" asked Tracey who put a hand on her shoulder.

Misty finally snapped out of it.

"Huh? Oh...yeah, I feel fine." she answered.

"Okay then, so what do you want to drink?" asked Ash with a smile.

"Anthing will be fine, but I ice tea is what really sounds nice"

"Sure thing!" Ash said handing her the pitcher.

"Thank you," she said taking it from him.

Misty took her time drinking it. Then she went into the other room.

"Wow...Just what in the world was I thinking staring at him like that? I guess I couldn't control myself. What's wrong with me?" Misty thought.

While Ash and Dawn were in the kitchen, they were putting drinks on the table for people who might want them. That's when Johanna walked in.

"You two are doing really good here," she said.

"Thanks mom," said Dawn.

"And Ash is such a good help! You probably wouldn't mind having him actually live with you!"

Dawn looked up.

"Oh mom! Please! I love Ash, but we aren't really planning to do that yet..." she said blushing.

Ash blushed a little too.

"Well, I'm sure you'll decide to live together when you're ready!"

Then Johanna put a hand on Ash's shoulder.

"And you mister, you better start calling me mom soon!" she said.

"I don't know, I have only one mother and it kinda isn't you..." Ash thought.

"Mom...where is this going?" Dawn asked suspiciously.

"I'll leave that for you two to figure out," she answered.

"But here's a clue! Keyword, wedding-bells!"

Dawn's mother just winked at her, and then left without a word to say. Ash was speechless. He actually just stood there with his face as red as a charmander's flame.

"Well, um...that was a bit crazy, don't you think?" asked Dawn.

"Depends on what you mean by crazy..." Ash thought.

"But really, it was kind of akward to hear something like that. We're not ready to get married, not yet.

Just then, Ash started to chuckle.

"Hm? What's so funny Ash?

"Oh nothing! It's just the thought of you and I being married. I didn't really think about it until now. It kinda reminds me of how much I want to be with you..."

Dawn felt touched after those statements.

"Oh Ash, you're so sweet!" she said kissing him.

But then, Dawn pulled away after second thoughts.

"But wait a minute! We can't get married now!"

"Well of course not now!" said Ash.

"Maybe sometime in the future Ash, but certainly not yet. We should decide to get married when we're both ready."

Ash totally agreed.

And back in the living room, Misty was talking to May. Misty didn't call May a real chatter-box, but May's been doing the most talking for the whole 15 minutes they've talked to eachother. And Max, let's just say that he was making a pig of himself in the background. Poor Misty being torchered by May's constantly running mouth, she was getting real bored with the subject. So she decided to ask her a personal question.

"Uh, May?" said Misty.

"Yeah Misty?" May answered.

"I hope this isn't too personal, but, who was your childhood crush?"

May just stood there without saying a word for 6 seconds.

"Uh-oh, did I say something wrong? I knew I shouldn't have asked..."

"You know May, if that was a little too personal, you don't have to anwser my question. I was just..."

"No Misty! Don't be silly! I was just thinking. I'll never forget who my childhood crush was. He was sooo adorable, in many ways. His name was Drew! He always looked so cute with his little roselia by his side! Him and I did fight quite a few times, but atleast I got over it."

Then Max comes and stands right next to May trying no to laugh. May didn't even know he was standing there.

"Woah! Did I hear right? You were inlove with Drew? I knew it!" he said.

"Max! Mind your own business! I'm talking to Misty! Not you! And besides, it wasn't exactly love. It was, just a little crush..." said May feeling embarrassed.

"Yeah, right! I always knew something was going on between you too! Wait, or was that Ash..." said Max scratching his head.

"GOODBYE MAX!" yelled May.

Max leaves, but he's still on to her.

"My Gosh, Max is a teenager, and he still acts like that little kid that use to travel around with us." she said.

Misty chuckled thinking of what it would be like to have a little brother like Max, even if he's annoying.

"If only I knew that feeling!" Misty said with glee.

Back in the kitchen, Ash and Dawn decide to take a break from their hard work.

"Wow, this party's going great and everything, but I can only imagine all the cleaning up I'm gonna have to do when it's all over," said Dawn.

"Don't worry Dawn, you won't be cleaning up alone, I'll help!" said Ash.

"Thank you Ash! Of course, you keep getting more sweet by the minute!"

And of course, they start kissing, you know, the good stuff!

"Awwwwww!" they hear voices say.

Ash and Dawn look up. Delia and Johanna walk in. And as for those poor two, it was pretty embarrassing trying to have some alone time for a sec, until both their mothers walk in at the scene.

"See Delia? I told you those two make a good couple! They look so adorable together!" said Johanna.

Ash and Dawn glance at eachother, and looks back at their mothers.

"Oh my, you're right! And as for Ash, I didn't know my son was such a lady's man!" said Delia.

"Mom!" yelled Ash blushing again.

"And my sweet Dawn! I better get you more of that special perfume! It's beginnig to turn you into a real male magnet!" said

Johanna.

"Mom!" yelled Dawn blushing again too.

"And in a few months, I can't wait to see this couple walking down the aisle!" said Delia.

"Oh I know! A very handsome groom, marching down the way with the beautiful blushing bride herself!" said Johanna.

"MOM!" Ash and Dawn yelled together.

Those two finally caught their mothers' attention.

"OUT!" they yell.

Delia and Johanna leave without saying a word. And Ash turned to Dawn feeling guilty now.

"Oh Dawn...I'd hate to yell at my mom like that..." he said.

"Yeah, me too..." she told him.

"But we are grown! We'll get married when we decide to get married!" said Ash.

"That's right!" said Dawn.

Then they just stood there for a few seconds, until Ash finally works up the nerve to ask:

"So, where were we?"

"I think I remember..." said Dawn as she came closer to his lips.

They just better hope that Misty doesn't come in at catch them...well, you know! Anyway, next chapter should be a doozie!
