Oh My, Mummy!

Summery:

Misty, is a famous Kanto archeologist, and being only 16 years old at that! She takes an excavation job that many people are afraid to do, and in doing so...she has maybe got into more than she bargained for...

~Chapter 9~

Ready to fly: Lol, he really did! ;)

mudkipster: Lulz, yeah, they did canoe to Hoenn. XD And that's okay.

Well, here's the next chappy! ^.^ Though, I have to wonder...why do my readers keep threatening me!? :O Scythes, logs, mallets...etc... O.o...

Now I think I should probably make sure I don't get hurt and hide in a fortified castle! *Runs away* ^-^ I am a very smart author. *Skips away while eating pizza*

I feel my cheeks burning as everyone stares.

"Hey Mist!" Ash says, "look over there! That building is SOOO big!" My arms shake in anger as I try to suppress it.

"GET OFF THAT ELECTRIC POLE RIGHT NOW!" I shout.

Ash looks down, and jumps.

He JUMPS.

"IDIOT!"

Landing perfectly in front of me, he puts his hands on my hips.

"Something wrong Mist?" he asks. I punch him in the gut.

"You're so STUPID!" I growl. "Now stop acting dumb, and follow me. Where's Drew?"

Ash suddenly becomes uninterested.

"Oh...I don't know..."

"Please tell me you didn't lose him on purpose!" I complain. Ash looks away and starts whistling.

"GET ME DOWN!" I hear someone shout, and see Drew rolled snuggly in bubble wrap next to a bunch of fresh vegetables. "I AM NOT PRODUCE!"

I glare at Ash.

"Seriously?"

"I didn't do anything," Ash says innocently. I roll my eyes, and grab him by the scruff of his neck before dragging him over to Drew.

"Untie him," I command. Ash crosses his arms.

"Why?"

"Because it isn't nice to try and sell someone as a vegetable."

"But he has green hair and everything!" Ash whines. I facepalm.

"That doesn't give you the right!"

"It totally does!" I sigh, and turn around and rip the bubble wrap off Drew, and send him spinning into Ash. I dust off my hands.

"Don't do it again, Ash," I say. "Or you're in big trouble." Ash pouts, and I lead the two boys through town.

"Why are people staring?" Drew asks after a while.

I look down at our clothes, and see we look like filthy workers from a mine or something who got in a fight with bubble wrap. I rub my temple.

"We need to buy some new clothes," I say. "Do either of you have any money on you?" Drew digs around in his pockets.

"I have two Pokedollars," he says. "But that's it." I sigh.

"Let's go to a clothes store and figure it out from there." All three of us head to the part of town that has most of the stores. Ash suddenly veers off and heads towards a building. I yelp, and run after him. He steps inside.

"Stop!" I exclaim. He turns around.

"Why?" he asks. "This place is called Beautiful Essentials, sounds like a place you'd like."

"NO!" I snap. "This is a lingerie store! Get out now!"

"What does that mean!?"

A store attendant looks at us both in confusion before I grab him, and pull the stupid King to a second hand store instead. Drew is laughing behind us, and I blush furiously.

"You moronic mummy!" I hiss under my breath. Ash stares at me quizzically.

"I still don't understand!"

I rub my face.

"You don't need to understand," I say. "Just pick out something and we'll figure out a way to buy it." Ash shrugs, and grabs the two nearest things.

"How about this?" I look over the outfit. It's a pair of jeans, red ballcap, black t-shirt, and a blue vest.

"Sure," I say, and turn to see what Drew picked out.

"How about this?" he asks me. It's a pair of pants, shirt, and vest.

"Don't try to copy me!" Ash growls.

"I'm not," he says. "This is what I usually wear, if you've forgotten." Ash crosses his arms and glares at the floor. I head over to the girls' section for a breath of fresh air.

Picking out a yellow tanktop, suspenders, and green shorts, I walk over to the boys.

"We need to pay for this," I say. "But I'm not sure how..." Turning, I look at Ash.

"Do you have any more-?"

Ash sighs, and snatches all the clothes from Drew and I before walking over to the counter.

"Here," he says. "I want these." Drew exits the store, clearly miffed.

I turn back to watch Ash, and see that his eyes are glowing.

"Ah, these will be free for you," the cashier says in a daze before putting it all in a bag. My eyes widen.

"Thank you!" Ash smiles, and walks over to me before taking my hand and walking outside. I stare.

"W-w-what did you do!?" I stutter. Ash glances at me.

"What are you talking about?"

He lets go of my hand, and walks away whistling.

I blink.

Was I imagining things...?

~.0.~

"NOW where is Ash?" I groan. Drew shrugs. "He disappeared, so maybe he's changing into his new clothes?" I cross my arms.

"Maybe..."

Both Drew and I head down into the town square.

"I'm going to go for a moment," Drew says. "I need to get a map." I nod, and sit down on the side of the fountain before tracing the water with my hand. Where could that idiotic mummy king be? I sigh, and turn around to come face to face with an ice cream cone.

Looking up, I see Ash.

"Here," he says, looking at the ground. "I'm sorry for making you mad earlier." I stare at him for a bit, and he looks up at me nervously, his face a bit pink. I take the cone in my hand, and lick some strawberry ice cream. I can't help smiling.

Ash lets out a sigh of relief, and sits down next to me...and awfully close to me at that. I feel something cover my left hand and I realize its Ash's. I glance down between us, and look away, trying to keep my heart from beating fast.

Crap, crap, crap, crap! I agonize in my head. He's sorta holding my hand! I need to get him to let go before I hyperventilate!

Jumping to my feet, I slip and fall backwards...towards the water in the fountain.

"Misty!" Ash exclaims.

SPLASH!

I sit up coughing, and look down to see Ash cringing, half submerged in water and surrounded by coins.

"Ow..." he mumbles. I feel his arms are still tight around me, and I bite my lip.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!

He opens his eyes.

"Are you okay?" he asks. I nod wordlessly, and glance away.

Ash suddenly lets go, realizing he was holding me, and my support is gone.

I fall onto him and our mouths connect.

A million thoughts fly through my head, but the only one I pick out, is that Ash is a decent kisser.

Wait...WHAT THE HELL!?

I flail, and crash into the water, before climbing out of the fountain, wheezing.

I can't face Ash. No, not now.

Drew suddenly runs up. Good, a distraction.

"I found my uncle!" he says happily. "We can go to the excavation site...why are you all wet?" I laugh in a nervous trill.

"T-that doesn't matter! Let's go see your uncle!"

I glance over at Ash, but I can't see his face, because his bangs are covering his eyes. I whip back around and skip after Drew.

~.0.~

"Sorry, your uncle is busy right now," a voice says as Drew walks out with another boy.

I feel my heart drop as I see who it is.

"Ah!" Drew says. "Misty, this is my uncle's assistant, Rudy."

MUAHAHAHA! I dropped soooo many bombs here! ;) What did you guys think of the accidental kiss? And now RUDY is here! HAHAHA! ^.^

Well, tell me what you thought!
