Chapter 2 awakening
It's been three days since the accident and Ash still hasn't come to. With each passing moment, Misty's concern grew. She was beginning to worry that Ash will not wake or that he will wake up but he will not remember her. That horrified her the most. She never told him but she cared about him dearly; she never told him but she loved him deeply…
As she sat by his bed waiting for her friend to wake up she thought about her feelings towards him
"I love him dearly but what if the feeling isn't mutual? If I tell him and he rejects me, my heart will shatter into a million pieces… why would he love me back? I'm just some annoying kid who constantly teases him and makes fun of his training skills… why do I do that? He doesn't deserve that. He's my friend… my very best friend… and all I do is give him a hard time… I never told him this but I think he's a great trainer and in a way, he's my hero… I love him dearly and I can't keep these feelings bottled up anymore… if he wakes up I have to tell him. No matter the consequence.
As she thinking these thoughts, Ash was stirring in his bed. This brought Misty out of her trance and she looked at Ash. She could see his eyes flinch and they slowly opened. His eyes moved in their sockets, taking in his new surroundings. Slowly but gently, Misty extended her hand and placed on Ash's. Feelings her touch, Ash turned to look at her curiously.
"How are you feeling Champ?..."
Ash simply looked at her and frowned
"Ash… it's me Misty… do you remember me?..."
Ash's eyes narrowed as he tried to remember and he then smiled
"Of course I do… you're my best friend…"
Misty laughed in relief as a few tears of happiness dripped down her cheeks. Ash extended a finger to wipe her tears
"Why are you crying Misty?" he asked
"I thought I'd never see you again…" she said as she embraced him into a hug. Ash wrapped his good arm around her
After a few minutes of silence Ash asked
"Where are we Misty?"
"We're at the hospital. You had a bad fall while climbing up that mountain in an attempt to beat Daniel. You had a concussion"
"How long have I been out?"
Misty hesitated before answering
"Three days" she said in a low voice
"Great…" Ash said as he put his head back on the pillow
"But you're okay now… you're on your way to recovery…"
"I know but I just can't believe I lost three days…"
"At least you're still alive…" said Misty and smiled at him and he smiled back. He reached for her hand and she laced it in her own. They both blushed as they looked into each other's eyes…
"It's time I told him…" thought Misty
"You know Ash, I've never told this but you mean a lot me…" she began as her face got a little closer to his
"Whenever I'm near you I feel happy and fulfilled. I feel like I want you to be mine to cherish and love…" the gap between grew smaller
"What I'm trying to say is… I love you…"
There were now a few millimeters separating between their lips
"I'm sorry I'm always mean to you, I don't really mean…"
"Misty…" Ash cut her off as the gap between their lips closed as they kissed for the first time in their lives… it felt wonderful. It was indescribably pleasant and blissful as they vented all the love and compassion they shared for each other in that one kiss. Once separated they peered into each other's eyes and simply embraced each other into a warm loving hug and Ash said
"I love you too Misty… all is forgiven…"
"I'm glad…" Misty said with a smile as a tear of happiness dripped down her cheek as she rested her head on his lap and Ash had his arm around her waist… they slowly drifted to sleep as the night continued, knowing they will wake up to a better tomorrow…
Ten years later….
Ash and Misty have been a happy couple ever since that fateful night at the hospital and were enjoying a nice stroll down the beach.
Walking hand in hand, the couple was witnessing a beautiful sunset. One they would remember forever…
As they sat down on the sand Ash asked
"Misty did I ever tell you that I love you?" he joked
"Of course you did silly…" Misty giggled
"You tell me all the time…"
"Well what would you say if I found a new way express our love? And I'm not referring to anything dirty…"
"What do you mean Ash?" she questioned as Ash took out a plastic box out his pocket and opened to reveal a beautiful diamond ring
"Misty, will you marry me?"
Misty stared at the ring with awe as she slipped it on her finger
"I'd be happy to marry you Ash Ketchum" she smiled and pulled her new fiancée into a big hug and kiss…
Several months later…
"I now pronounce you husband and wife… you may kiss the bride…" the priest said as Ash kissed his new wife and they walked down the aisle.
"Congratulations Guys" said Tracey as he patted them on the shoulder
"Way to go Ash…" said Brock as he shook Ash's hand
"Pika ,pika!" cried Pikachu as he followed them, wearing a blue and black tuxedo. The happy newlyweds walked out of the church and thanked and said goodbye to everyone… they then got into the limo which would take them to their new home… as they limo was on its way they kissed and Misty said
"I love you Ash…"
"I love you too Misty… always will…" Ash replied as they kissed again and embraced each other into a warm loving hug… they knew they would stay a happy couple and family for as long as they lived…
And they couldn't be happier be happier about it…
And they lived happily ever after…
The end…
