AN: I'm so terribly sorry it took me forever to finish this next chapter! I do feel terrible, but atleast it's here now, right? I'm sure you've read the author's note to be awared of why it took me so long. Anyway, here is chapter eight. FINALLY!

Everyone continued to stand there waiting for an answer, as did Misty. Dawn almost had tears rolling down her face as she just gazed into Ash's eyes.

"Y-yes...I will marry you!" she said.

Ash got up to hug and kiss Dawn as everyone cheered and clapped. Misty stood there wide eyed and with her mouth hanging open.

"W-what! WHAT! What just happened here? Ash just proposed to Dawn...and she said YES!" Misty thought.

She was practically screaming to the top of her lungs in her head, until she accidentally screamed out loud for no apparent reason. When she realized what she did, she quickly covered her mouth with both hands and everyone looked at her.

"Mist, you okay?" Ash asked curiously.

Misty sweatdropped for a moment.

"Uh, yeah fine!" she lied with a fake laugh in her voice.

"I-I'll be right back."

Misty then ran outside, when Tracey decided to follow her.

"Misty, something wrong?" he asked.

"Tracey, can you believe this! Can you believe Ash just proposed to that girl right in front of me!" she yelled.

"Yeah! He did it in front of everybody! I think it's really great he worked up the nerve to do something that special. But you, you don't look too happy Mist."

"Heck no I'm not happy! She's not going to do this to me!"

"Misty now hold on! You told me that you couldn't be more happy knowing Dawn's happy with Ash, know matter how much you wanted him back."

"Yeah, but that was before I knew she was totally gonna take him away from me!" she yelled and ran off quick.

She ran passed May who had no idea why Misty looked upset. So she stopped Tracey who was right in front of her.

"Tracey, what's wrong with Misty?" she asked him.

"I'm not entirely sure yet. She suddenly got upset out of nowhere after the proposal was made." he replied.

"Oh no."

"Oh no what?"

"I was worried that this might happen! Tracey come with me, quick!" May said as she grabbed Tracey's arm.

"Um, just where are we going?" he asked.

"To find Misty! We have to settle things straight with her right now!"

"Wait, what things are there to even settle straight? Things sure aren't looking too good."

"To tell the truth, they're not Tracey. Misty told you her problem right? About her missing Ash, but not wanting Dawn's heart to get broken, and...you know, all that stuff.

"Yeah. So..."

"Now, she just wants to lose her temper, because she must figure that if they get married, she may never have a chance to have Ash back! It's so obvious!"

"Well what do we do now?" asked Tracey.

"There's not much we can do but just go home for now and I'll see if I can get her tomorrow." said May.

So they went back inside and saw people still continuing to cheer on and be happy. Ash looked at the two as soon as they came in.

"Hey guys, where'd you two go?" he asked them.

"Um, just looking for Misty..." May replied with an unusual fake smirk on her face.

"Oh. That reminds me, Misty's been acting really weird lately. Is she feeling alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, she's fine. Maybe, she's...just having a...really rough day today?" May replied.

"Oh. Well, I sure hope her day gets better," Ash said trying to sound nice.

So the next morning, May decided to pay Misty a visit at her apartment. This time she took the elevator up instead of the stairs.

She knocked on her door, but Misty refused to answer it.

"Come on Misty, open up! I know you're in there!" she shouted.

Misty, who was apparently sitting in the corner of the living-room refused to answer her door. So May decided to stand there a little while longer until she's finally had enough of waiting. She did leave without saying a word, but decided that next time she came to talk to Misty, she'd get Tracey to come with her. Now just to think, Misty kept on asking herself 'Dawn would never really take Ash away from me, right?' But when she finally thought about the whole situation, she figured she was acting dumb. (which she was) Then as she continued to think all about it, she knew something wasn't right. If Dawn wasn't trying to take Ash away from her, she would have said no about the marriage instead of yes, right? Misty suddenly began to question her and Dawn's friendship. She paid absolutely no attention to the fact they've been friends (Including May) for years. Now she completely turns that over. She's doing this because of a man she still has feelings for? Misty then grabs a notepad and pencil on top of the desk next to her as she thinks of a devious plan to write down.

"I think I know what I'm gonna do...and I'm gonna do it on the wedding day." she thought evily.

Later that evening, May came back to Misty's apartment with Tracey.

"May, why am I doing this again?" he asked.

"Because, you're the only one who could probably get Misty to come out. Please try! I'm really beginning to feel the urge of kicking that door down, just to get her to talk to us!" she replied.

"Alright, fine." he said with a sigh.

Tracey walked up to the door and knocked on it.

"Misty, are you home?" he asked on the other side of the door.

There was no response.

"Come on Mist, please open the door!" he begged.

There was still no response, and May got angry.

"Alright Misty, if that's the way you wanna be!" May yelled.

She took 3 long steps back and ran into the door slamming it down. Tracey couldn't help but have his mouth hanging wide open.

"M-May! Are you crazy!" he snapped.

"Heck, you'd do that too if you got tired of waiting!" she whined.

So they look around inside and nobody is there. May looks around the living-room area.

"Where can she be around this time? I haven't even seen her..." May whispered to herself.

Then she decides to look in Misty's bedroom. Nobody's in there either. But what she did find was a notepad on the side of her bed. So she calls Tracey in, to help her take a look at it.

"What's this?" he asked as she handed the paper to him.

"Not sure. Guess it's some sort of note." she replied.

Tracey took a good look at the paper, then his eyes widened out of very shock.

"Oh no...May..." he started out.

"What, what is it Tracey?" she asked him.

"This note says K-k-kidnap the b-bride..."

Okay, please forgive me, because I know that this was short, and I'm sorry. I'm just happy I finally posted this chapter. I'll try to post the next one as soon as I can though. So go ahead and review while I start the next chapter...Just bare with me everyone, and hope that school and homework doesn't get too much in the way!
