He's the One
Chapter 12
A Visit from Old Friends
"Ash, why are you all dressed up?" Dawn asked. He had on a black tuxedo with a black bow tie on. To her surprise, he also kept his hair combed and was wearing new cologne.
"Isn't it obvious? Misty's coming! I have to make myself presentable. I haven't seen her in a long time." Ash said.
"What about Brock?" Dawn asked. Ash gasped.
"Yeah he's coming too!" Ash smiled. "Well we should go and pick them up from the harbour."
"Ok." Dawn said.
As they waited on the harbour, Dawn noticed something in Ash's hand. It was a little red box that seemed decorated with a little green bow on top.
"Ash what's that in your hand?" Dawn asked.
"Oh, this? It's a present for Misty. I can't wait to see her reaction when she sees this!" Ash grinned.
"A gift for Misty? Wow! What about Brock? Didn't you get a present for him? I thought you said he was your best buddy." Dawn said.
"Oh, shoot! I completely forgot about Brock. Oh, well. I'm sure he won't be mad." Ash said. Dawn kept gazing at the box.
"Why does he care so much about Misty? What does she have that I don't have? Wait, why did I think that?" Dawn thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a loud blaring honk. All she could see was a girl with orange hair wearing an orange blouse and extremely short pants and a tanned tall guy waving at them. Dawn turned over to Ash who was waving them back. That meant that they were here. As the ship came to a stop, Misty and Brock ran down the ship to greet Ash.
"Hi Ash!" Misty called out.
"Misty!" Ash called out to her and immediately ran up to her and hugged her close.
Dawn's eyes widened. Why did he hug her like that? Ash has never hugged me like that before. Wait, really, again?
"Misty I've missed you so much!" Ash said.
"I've missed you too." Misty told him.
"Hey, what about me?" Brock asked, pointing to himself.
"Brock, how can I forget you? My best buddy!" Ash said, hugging him. Ash turned to Dawn.
"Guys, I'd like to introduce you to Dawn. She's my friend. Dawn, this is Misty and this is Brock." Ash presented them to her.
"It's so nice to meet you both. I've heard so much about you guys. Especially Misty." Dawn took her eyes towards Misty. She noticed her sense of dressing and thought it was ridiculous.
"Aww, Ash! You told her so much about me? That's sweet!" Misty said to Ash. Ash smiled in response which made her giggle.
Brock suddenly pulled Dawn to the side away from Misty and Ash. Dawn gasped.
"What are you doing?" Dawn asked.
"Dawn, you do know that these guys have a crush on each other right?" Brock asked.
"Why should that bother me? Ash can like whomever he wants." Dawn said.
"But these guys don't know it. They're really dense, especially Ash." Brock said.
"That's clearly a surprise." Dawn said, sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"Don't you think they make a great couple?" Brock asked.
Dawn looked behind her to notice Ash giving her the red box. Misty screamed in surprise and slowly opened the box. She slowly pulled out a pearl white bracelet. She held it towards her heart and looked at Ash with a passion while smiling tenderly. Ash smiled at her and took her in her arms. Dawn's eyes widened bigger this time. She suddenly had this warm feeling of rage and anger in her heart.
"No. I don't mean to sound rude, but Misty seems like a freakish tomboy. Look at her! Her sense of dress is just unfashionable; she wears her hair in a long ponytail, and most of all she is clinging to Ash!" Dawn said.
"Wow! I thought you said that Ash can like whomever she wants." Brock said.
"Yes, someone sensible. How can Ash like her? What does she have that I don't have? I'm one hundred times better than her!" Dawn said, looking at the two.
"Ohh, I get it." Brock looked at her with a grin. "You're jealous."
"Why would I be jealous of her? She's nothing compared to me!" Dawn said.
"Because she has Ash in her arms." Brock smiled. "Ahh, young love."
"It's not love! I don't like Ash! It's just I don't feel Misty is the right girl for Ash." Dawn said.
"Mmmhmmm" Brock said sarcastically while walking away.
"Whatever that means!" Dawn said, rolling her eyes and walking up to the group.
"Oh, Ash! I love the gift so much. Thank you so much!" Misty said. "By the way, Ash, you seem to have changed a lot. If I knew you well, you wouldn't have combed your hair or dressed so handsome like that." Misty said. Dawn gasped. So that's why he dressed up like that.
"You think I'm handsome?" Ash smiled. Misty blushed.
"Uhh, yeah, when dressed like that. You look so different." Misty said. They continued staring at each other. Dawn was wondering why they were doing this. Misty was a friend not a lover!
"Well come on Ash! We're not gonna stay at the harbour all day long to see you staring at each other like that! You can do that later!" Brock spoke, interrupting their fantasy.
"Sorry, Brock! Let's go." Ash said.
Dawn walked up to Ash to slide her hand into Ash's arm as usual. But a frown developed on her face as he took Misty's arm instead of hers. Dawn ended up walking behind the group. While walking their way, a strong gust of wind came across as a motorcycle passed by. Brock's eyes turned into hearts.
"It's Officer Jenny!" Brock yelled as he ran up to her.
"Oh, great, here we go again! "Misty said.
"I guess things never change!" Ash said to Misty.
"Jenny, no matter where you go, our hearts will always be connected. You just couldn't resist me , could you? Oh, Jen-"Brock was suddenly pulled away with a sharp pain in his ear.
"Nope, sorry, we're not gonna go through that again." Misty said, pulling Brock out of the way.
"Kids, I must warn you, there is a creepy murderer on the loose. He looks like this." Officer Jenny said, showing them a photo in front of their face. The photo showed a masked man with a black suit holding a pistol in his hand. He had blue hair with a streak of hair on is forehead. "You haven't seen him anywhere have you?' She asked.
"No." Ash and Dawn said in unison.
"Well just let me know if you see anything suspicious." Officer Jenny said, riding her motorbike out of sight.
"Hey, guys we're back!" Misty came alongside with Brock. Dawn suddenly sided her arm with Ash's. Ash looked at her.
"What's wrong, Dawn?" Ash asked.
"Oh, nothing. My arm is hurting, that's all. You don't mind do you?" Dawn asked.
"Not at all." Ash said.
Dawn looked towards Misty and smiled. She seemed better when she's not sticking her face in front of Ash.
"Let's go." Ash said.
When they finally approached the hotel, Misty came across a game room and smiled. She loved games.
"Ash! Ash! Ash!" Misty yelled.
Ash let go of Dawn's arm and came towards her. Dawn frowned once again.
"What's up, Misty?" Ash asked.
"Look, a game room! We can play games here. It'll be fun." Misty squealed.
"Oh, sorry, Misty, I'm awfully tired right now." Ash told her. Dawn smiled.
"Oh, come on, maybe we can play pool. And, after this, pool will be our favourite game." Misty giggled while running her fingers on his shoulder. Ash shuddered. Dawn was raging now.
"Ohh, ok." Ash said, smiling. Misty put her arm in Ash's arm and pulled him into the game room, closing the door.
"Unbelievable! This is outrageous!" Dawn said to Brock.
"I know, right? I can't believe that Officer Jenny still has a thing for me!" Brock said.
"No, I mean Ash and Misty! Why are they always hanging out together? Did you see the way Misty was flirting with Ash?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah. It was cute." Brock smiled.
"It was not cute! It was disgusting!" Dawn almost puked.
"Why are you so upset? They're just hanging out. Plus, I think they really suit each other." Brock stated.
"I'm not upset. I just feel that Ash is hanging out so much with Misty instead of me." Dawn said.
"So jealousy?" Brock asked.
"I'm not jealous! Why would I be jealous of that-that- thing with Ash, except the fact that she's clinging to Ash more than a sweater?" Dawn gasped. She wish she hadn't said that.
"I think we all know what's going on here." Brock said.
"What?" Dawn gulped.
"You're in love!" Brock smiled.
"No, I'm not, Brock! That's ridiculous! You know what? I don't care who Ash hangs out with. It could be with Misty or you or even a huge gorilla." Dawn said.
"Really?" Brock asked.
"Really. Now if you excuse me, I've got some work to do." Dawn said, skipping to her room.
Brock turned around and turned the handle to enter the room. He shut the door quietly and then faced Misty and Ash.
"So, how's it going?" Misty asked.
"It's going perfect. She's extremely jealous and she doesn't suspect a thing." Brock replied. Ash smiled.
"Yes! I knew this was gonna work! Thanks guys!" Ash said.
"Don't thank us just yet! Dawn's still denying the fact that she likes you, but don't worry, I have a plan." Brock said.
Well, I'm done. And I am so happy because I left you guys with a cliff hanger! Yay! :D Hee! Hee!
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Not sure when I'll update again, but I expect reviews ok?
