(Misty's POV)
"Okay, Ash, what are you planning?" I asked him.
"I'm planning I go up on the stage and confess my love for May. I'll ask her out afterwards." He explained.
"That's good, but it could use a little more surprise." Brock said.
"Good point, Brock." I stammered. I admit, I got a little intimidated around him while talking about love. Not the easiest subject talking about with your crush.
"Do it when she's looking away from the stage. Grab her attention and do it. Say how you've loved her the very instant you two met, and how it's been killing you not to tell her. It is pretty romantic to do it on her Sweet 16, though." Brock pointed out.
"Yeah, you would get pretty good ideas after 6 whole years of planning, too." Ash said.
"I've been doing a little planning myself; it's similar to what you're doing…" I said. I facepalmed after I saw Ash & Brock stare at me. I was blushing; I almost revealed it was going to be for Brock.
"Anyways, it'll be nerve-racking. Can I practice in front of you guys?" he asked. Me and Brock nodded.
So Ash practiced, and despite some stuttering, he did good. May came in afterwards.
"Mist, Brock, I'm kind of nervous, but it's only because the party's in two days. I've invited Delia to the party, she's so excited for my surprise! I'm ready for this like it's what I was born to do." May said so excitedly she sounded kind of savage.
"I see we've trained you well, May." Brock said.
"Brock, are you sure we should stick to being double agents? It makes me feel guilty." I whispered.
"It's fine, Misty. In a way, we're doing Ash & May a favor." he assured.
"Oh, I didn't think of it that way. Thanks Brock, you're the nicest guy I've met." I whispered back, hoping to get something back from him.
"Aw shucks, I get that a lot." Brock whispered back. "When you said you were planning something similar to what Ash was doing, who was it for?" I feared he'd ask that.
I stopped whispering because I longer felt the need to and said, "Fine. I'm not saying any names, though. I met him when I was 7. We were at a party. I spilt punch on his tuxedo and he yelled at me for it. I told him he looked handsome anyway, but he thought I was creepy. We started fighting. Even though he was mean, I dreamt for years about the day I'd meet him again. I had a strange feeling the day I met him. Like we were destined to be together. I met him again a couple years later, and felt that chemistry all over again. Of course, the guy is falling in love with every girl he sees and doesn't take my hints of jealousy."
Brock gasped. "Misty, that guy you're talking about, he sounds just like me. You're talking about me, aren't you?"
"Do I really have to tell you?" I asked, raising my voice, so May was staring at me and Ash ran in to see what was happening.
"Misty, admit it, you're talking about me!" he shouted back.
"Why are you so obsessed about my personal life?" I snapped.
"Misty, I love you. I always thought it was silly, falling in love with a girl 5 years younger than me. I was afraid I'd make my dad ashamed and be a bad influence on my siblings if I showed any signs of a crush on you. So I started pretending to fall in love with most girls I met to hide any feelings I had for you. But now, as a totally different person, I say damn it! I don't have to force myself to not love you, all because of a silly age gap. Misty Henderson, will you go out with me?" Brock asked.
"Brock, I never knew. I will go out with you. I don't care what my sisters or what your family thinks, I'm not listening to any complaints they have." I said.
(May's POV)
"Shit." I whispered to Ash.
"What?" he asked.
"I was planning to play matchmaker for them, but Brock already asked her out. Well, I'm still happy for her either way."
"Wait, you knew Misty had a thing for Brock?" Ash looked surprised.
"Yes, I did. She tells me everything." I reminded Ash.
"Oh, I forgot you two are best friends." Ash said, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Ash, you know you're my best friend also, right? People can have more than one best friend, like you do." I assured.
"It's not that, May, I'm talking about something else. I'll tell you later." I've never seen Ash so mad. He knows he's my best friend like Misty is, but what else could he be mad for?
2 days later... (Ash's POV)
Today was the day. May's birthday/Sweet 16. I was nervous.
"Okay, raise your hands into the air when the perfect time comes," I told Misty & Brock before the party.
I used a document I already had and published this chapter through it. I can't wait until the glitch is fixed, though. I can already tell this will get annoying after a while. By the way, the song I used in the first chapter was All About Him by Auburn, so don't even ask.
