Absolutely loved this chapter so so much! And writing it made me quite, let's say, emotional. Mwah! I'm improving? Please someone say I am…

Can someone give me a nice long chunk of a review today? Please? I really need one for my hard work on this chapter and big fat reviews are always nice. Actually I've never had one, I've just seen other ones DX

I don't own Pokemon. Or the song that is spread across the chapter. You by Hollywood Ending. Absolutely love that song. I missed out some of the verses, but I mean, no one would notice…would they?

Chapter Twelve

The sunset vibe

Misty closed her eyes, hoping this was just a dream. It wasn't. Ash stared at her, knowing that she knew everything.

That drives me wild

"You know each other?" The woman, now identified as Ash's mom, asked.

It's true ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Silence. Misty looked away. Ash glared at her, before answering. She bit her lip. Would he tell her everything?

That don't care style

"Yes. This is Misty. She-she was a friend of mine back when I was little."

"Misty? As in little Misty Waterflower? The one you played with all the time? Oh! I should've realised with the hair…"

That makes me smile

Misty looked up in surprise. Did Ash remember her? Ash refused to look into her eyes. She was confused. He remembered? He remembered that they were friends once? She had always thought he had forgotten her, with his new found memories…but no.

It's you ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

"I…I think I'll go up to my room…" She stammered, standing up quickly.

"I'll show you there." A voice interrupted.

You hit me like an earthquake

She didn't even bother turning around. She stood in the doorway awkwardly, waiting for Ash to show her. He ignored her, leading her upstairs. He opened the door, then closed it behind him. Locking it with a key. Misty looked at him, confused.

First date

"You know everything, don't you?" He growled. "Don't you dare tell a single person or you would be better off dead, Waterflower."

Abercombre soul mate

Misty glared at him, Mrs Ketchum's words ringing in her head still.

"Won't it be better if you just stand up to the truth?" She spat. "You could be a normal boy! You don't need popularity to live! Your poor mom only has you in her life now, and you're shoving lies in front of her eyes? If she finds out, she'll be-"

"Shut up Waterflower. She won't ever find out."

We could do this all day

The pain was obvious in his eyes, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. Misty clenched her fist angrily. She thought of the frail woman downstairs. She closed her eyes briefly for a moment. Shouting at him was something she had to do.

Ooh ooh ooh

"Why can't you make your mom happy? I'd be happy even to have a mom! Crippled or not, she's still your mom! Are you embarrassed?" She sneered. "It's one thing to lie, but another to deceive. Are you-"

Your look

She squeaked, as Ash pushed her forward, so that she was lying on the bed. He had fallen too, on top of her, and their faces were ridiculously close. She felt her heart beat faster, as their noses were a millimetre apart.

Your laugh

"You know Waterflower, for once you're right. Letting your anger out on someone is sometimes to best way to control it."

Your love

And so they did it again. But this time, it felt horrifyingly right.

Your touch

And she didn't know why.

It's you

Midnight swim

"Hey Maple, where's the bandana?"

"You've got it in our hand, jerk."

"You calling me a jerk? That must make you a loser."

"Are you kidding me? The grass head spends his time arguing with girls? That's sad."

"You're a girl? That's big news."

"GET HERE CABBAGE HEAD BOY!"

I caught you in my pool ool ooool ool ool ool

Dawn sighed, in amusement and in disgust. She was so sick of May and Drew picking a fight all the time. Misty wasn't here either, and usually the mallet got them both to shut up.

If I jump in

"Tired of them?"

Can I kiss you too ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Raising her head, she saw Paul, and smiled. Perhaps being stuck in an empty classroom with two bickering children wasn't so bad after all.

That body's slammin'

"Dawn! Get the grass head to shut up!"

Whats happenin'

Dawn regretted her words immediately. It was as bad as it looked.

Got the speakers blastin'

"Drew! Please, give me back my bandana!"

Neighbours are in Aspen

Dawn plugged in her headphone and looked apologetically at Paul, who stood staring at the argument with an amused look on his face.

Ooh ooh ooh

Yeah I'm mackin'

Five girls stood in a dark unused corridor. Four against one. It didn't look good.

You're laughin'

"What?"

"Yes, that's it. You heard it. Going out with a nerd is something we can't accept."

"B-but…"

"You've been kicked out. Go. You don't belong in the popular group."

"But I-I've always bee-"

But darling this is smashin'

Serena's eyes widened as Duplica pushed her roughly out of the way. Casey glanced at her apologetically. Sakura glared at her, pushing her against the wall.

Yeah I said smashin'

"You have to prove that you're popular. Popularity doesn't come at birth."

Ooh ooh ooh

All I ever think about's you

"Who's this?" Misty asked, half naked, peering curiously at a cage, with a small hamster in, and a Misty giggled as it ran on the mini treadmill.

"This is Kachu. Mom gave him to me two years ago. I guess you could say he's my only real friend here."

"Eh hem. I was your friend, then you ditched me."

"Yeah yeah. I was upset, that's a reason, isn't it?"

"Oh? Then can't you go back to what you were before? You were amazing back then."

There was a hesitant pause. Misty looked behind her, to the seventeen year old raven haired male. His eyes glazed over, and his neck stiffened.

When you give me give me those eyes

"I can't! Ok? As much as I want to, I can't!"

Baby is this even real life?

Misty reeled in shock, as the sharp words were directed to her. She frowned, seeing the boy as someone else for a change.

Cos you got me breathing breathing sunshine

A boy who had made mistakes, but was too scared to go back.

It's all the little things that you do

"You can! Just change yourself! You're not gonna go anywhere being a coward. No one likes a coward. And no one likes a liar. Stop lying to yourself Ash Ketchum, and pull yourself together! And if your prides the thing that's in the way, then tough! We're graduating soon anyway, so you don't need to worry! Just change! And if anything, I'd do anything to get a friend like your old self back. Anything." Misty felt a tear trickle down her cheek, and she turned away, pulling on her top, picking up her bag.

That always get me get me tongue tied

Hesitation.

Come on won't you give me a sign?

Misty didn't care to turn around, instead turned away, unable to look at him and feel the memories flood back.

And baby tell me tell me you're mine

He looked so vulnerable, so helpless, but she couldn't bring herself to help him.

You're all I ever think about

Not after all he had done to her.

No. She couldn't.

"You know what? I'll think about it." Ash spat, running a hand through his hair.

Your lips

Misty looked over in surprise, another tear running down her cheek. She gave him a watery smile, and opened the door.

On mine

"Tonight was fun. But…promise me something. Next time we meet? We'll be strangers? Ok? Promise?"

Can't get

There was silence.

Enough

"I-I take that as a yes. Goodbye, Ash Satoshi Ketchum."

It's you

And she was gone.

A/N: MWA HA HA! You like it? You like it? I loved this! This isn't really a CLIFFY, it's more of a WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? DUN DUN DUN… (or cue Eastenders)

You guys have to listen to the song! Please! For me?

I absolutely LOVED Ash and Misty's last scene. This sounds pathetic, but it almost made me cry. Like seriously, it killed me, writing that. That makes me sound soppy and stupid. I'm sorry. And I told you Pikachu would be here! His only appearance though. Yes, Kachu. Pikachu take away the Pi. And in my opinion, Pikachu sorta looks like a hamster. So there. You'd better not go all out killing spree just cos Pikachu isn't what you expected.

And omg, this came out perfectly! I finished the chapter and I was like, can't get enough words. So I added the titbits of song in, otherwise you guys will flame at me, and it came in at the right places! Yay!

Anyways, review, favourite and follow! It really helps! More reviews please! Long ones as well! They make me a happy bunny!
