The fourth chappie is up today too cuz I don't want people mad about the short chappie before this. Just a warning, but there is loads of fluff and lovey-dovey crap in this chappie. If you're allergic to that kind of thing, shut down your computer right away!

Disclaimer: I do not Pokémon, Wii Party, or Just Dance 2.

LEAF'S POV

After the first week of school or so, everyone adjusted. I hung out with Misty and Trina at lunch and on the weekends. A month or two after school started, I had a slumber party with Trina and Misty at my house. We had so much fun playing different games on the Wii like Wii Party and Just Dance 2. After we got bored of that, we played Truth or Dare.

"I pick truth," proclaimed Misty.

Trina and I looked at each other and nodded. I knew we were thinking the same thing. "Who do you have a crush on?" we said in unison.

Her smiled disappeared instantly and she stared at us blankly. We started waving our hands in front of her face.

I started shaking her back and forth. "Mist, snap out of it!"

She blinked and shook her head to completely clear her trance. "I don't like anyone," she stated.

We started to laugh hysterically.

She looked at us, dumbfounded. "What's so funny?"

She closed her eyes and laid back with her legs still crossed. "You guys are weirdoes."

Suddenly, Trina burst out singing, "Ash and Misty sitting in a tree!"

I joined in. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

Misty's jaw dropped as she began to blush a furious red color.

"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs, "I don't like Ash Ketchum!"

We stopped and stared at her. Here it comes.

"I do not like him."

I sat by Misty and gave her a half-hug. Trina put her arm around her shoulder.

Misty shook herself out of our embraces and started to yell. "No, guys! Get it through your heads! I don't like Ash! I never have, and I never will!"

I muttered words under my breath.

She looked at me with an angry look on her face. "What did you say?"

"I said, it's too bad because I think he really likes you. He'd be crushed to know that you hate him."

She just sat there, soaking it in. After awhile, Trina and I just started playing Wii again.

Then, Misty spoke up. "He likes me?"

We stopped walking like Egyptians and looked at her.

"He likes me?" I nodded.

"Is this a joke?"

I nodded. "When we were younger, he always talked about how he met you during his journey. He told me how you were his best friend, and then his eyes would sparkle. I can read Ash like a book, Misty. He likes you."

She got up and tied up her hair.

"Where are you going?" Trina asked.

"I need to talk to Ash."

MISTY'S POV

It's not like every day you realize your best friend who you've liked forever likes you back. It happens once, and I was going to cherish it. On the way to Ash's, I ran into him literally.

"Oh my gosh! Misty, I'm so sorry." He offered his hand, which I gladly accepted.

Me, being a good actress, tried not to appear nervous. I don't think it worked. "Hey, Ash. What's up?"

"Well, I, uhh, I wanted to tell you something."

I hoped he liked me back, or it would all be a waste.

It's now or never.

ASH'S POV

Oh my God. I was gonna tell Misty something I've been holding in forever, and she just literally ran into me on the way. I was praying that she liked me back, or it would all be a waste.

It's now or never.

MISTY'S POV

"I need to tell you something, Ash," my voice wavered slowly.

He looked at me with concern. "Is something wrong?"

I smiled and shook my head. "No. It's just really important, and I still don't know how to say it."

I love how he cares about his friends so much.

This is definitely the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. I hope he loves me too. Well, at least like me. I doubt he loves me.

"Misty?"

I got out of my daydreaming. "What?"

He looked nervous about something, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Ash, are you okay?"

He chuckled. "Yeah, but I kind of have something to say first."

"By all means, go ahead."

ASH'S POV

That was weird. Usually, Misty would've had an all-out battle with me to speak first. I figured I better just say it and get it off my chest.

"Misty, I really like you more than just a friend," I muttered as I looked down at my feet.

MISTY'S POV

Oh. My. God. Did he just say what I think he said?

He looked at my shocked expression. "Are you gonna hit me with your mallet now?"

I almost started laughing, but I didn't.

"I'm sorry, but I had to get that off my chest. If you don't feel the same way, I understand."

"I'm sorry, Ash, but I don't like you."

He sighed and turned around.

"I love you."

He turned around and looked at me, just as shocked as I was when he said he liked me.

"You love me?"

I nodded with a huge smile on my face. He caught me in a huge hug. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck. I looked into those chocolate eyes that always sucked me in.

"Well, I, umm, I, uhh…" he stuttered as the red spread across his cheeks.

I couldn't take it. "Just kiss me," I whispered.

It was the best kiss I'd ever had. It was the only kiss I'd ever had. After it ended, he said something I've been dying to hear.

"I love you too."

We just gazed into each others' eyes.

My eyes widened. "I left Leaf and Trina! Oh my gosh, they're gonna kill me!"

I whipped out my phone and texted them. I gave a sigh of relief. "They're fine with it."

He put out his hand. "Let's take our time then."

That was the best traveling moment I had with Ash in my entire life.

I told you, full of lovey-dovey crap. Anyways, hit the button and review!
