Question: What pokemon game do you want to come out next: the speculated Pokemon Gray, the speculated Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald remakes or a whole new generation?

My Answer: Although I want them to make a Pokemon Gray in which N COMES BACK, I'm itching for some Hoenn. How about you guys?

Characters: Gary X Misty, as requested by the ever-so-kind AshKetchumDarkSide.

Summary: Inspired by the fanart 'Caution: Wet Floors' by ~KuroBenFreak on DeviantArt.

Wet Floors

~I got you, I got you on my mind

And it's time to make you see (what I want)

So I'll just make this a little more obvious~

Misty sighed. She had just closed the gym, and was left with all the cleaning up to do. Her sisters never helped- they were always too busy preparing for their next underwater ballet. So Misty was alone as she pulled out a mop and began trying to clear the puddles, since more water ended up outside of the pool than in it due to the pokemon that fought in the water.

She was halfway finished when there was a knock on the door. Propping the mop up against the wall, she wiped her hands off on the denim of her shorts and went over to peer through the all-glass entrance. Gary stood on the other side, and lifted his hand in a half-wave.

Misty unlocked the door and held it open for him as he walked in, hands in his pockets. "You again?" she asked, amused. "Really, Gary, do you have some weird obsession with cleaning that you aren't telling me about?"

He smirked at her over his shoulder as she locked the door again, leaning against it with her arms crossed. "Maybe I'm just taking pity on you," he remarked, taking the mop from where Misty had left it and beginning to clean.

She puffed up and opened her mouth to retort, but he beat her to it. "Chill out, Misty, I was kidding. Seriously, though, I thought you had, like, twenty sisters. Why don't they help you out?"

Misty exhaled in a huff and retrieved another mop from the closet, joining him by the poolside. "They're too busy," she said.

"Too busy doing what? The gym's closed."

"Doing their nails. Gossiping. Braiding each other's hair." Gary shuddered, and Misty laughed and shuddered along with him. "I know. It's hard to believe they're gym leaders."

"I'll say."

"Oh, well. What can you do?" she sighed. Then she glanced at him sidelong. "I'm surprised you have time to come here every day. Are things at the lab really that slow?"

He laughed and rubbed a hand over his face. "A slowpoke would be fast in comparison."

She laughed too, and the two lapsed into companionable silence. After a minute or so he took a deep breath and paused, reaching out to touch her back. "Misty, I've wanted to tell you something for a while now…"

She turned around too quickly to face him, and slipped on the still-wet floor: falling, she took him down with her, and her forehead bumped against his chin as she landed on his chest. Their faces were millimeters apart, their noses touching. Both of them were blushing furiously.

"Uh, sorry," she squeaked, making a motion to rise off of him- but at that moment Lilly rushed in, hands aflutter.

"Misty! We decided that we want you to take part in the- oh my Arceus." She raised her hands, palms forward, and slowly backed out of the room. "Sorry. I was never here, okay? Go back to whatever you were doing."

"Lilly," Misty called, but her sister had already fled, the closed door not quite blocking out the sound of her giggling. "Great. This'll be fun to explain."

"Why?" asked Gary, his entire face crimson.

"They like to twist things. They'll think that you're my boyfriend or something…"

His face lightened a shade, and he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Well, I'd hate to disappoint them."

Misty looked at him, caught off guard. "What?"

"I've been wanting to ask you if you wanted to go out for dinner or something," he said.

She stared at him in disbelief for a small eternity, and then smiled. "Sure. I'd like that," she answered, moving to get off him.

He held her by the waist, a wicked glint in his eye. "What's the rush?" he smirked, finally regaining his composure. "I kind of like this position."

~You can't stop this feeling,

You can't run away, baby, I'm what's on your mind~
