WD: Zoey

Snowpoint City, Sinnoh. 30th March, 2019. Thirty-five days after the proposal. 6:32pm.

Misty shivered as she rubbed her arms vigorously, trying to generate heat onto her arms to keep them from going numb.

"Sinnoh again, Ash?" Misty asked annoyedly as she watched her breath turn to mist right in front of her eyes.

"Sorry. This is the second-last one," he tried to cheer her up. "Hopefully," he murmured to himself, but his fiancée heard it. She groaned. "Ash!"

Ash shrugged nonchalantly. Misty rolled her eyes and focused her attention back to the road. She squinted. "Hey, what's that?" she pointed to a small cottage in the distance.

The raven-haired boy grinned. "We're here!" he zipped up his jacket and grabbed onto Misty's wrist before dragging her towards the house. Misty's eyes widened in surprise. "Ash! What the fuck!" she yelled.

Ash stopped in front of the house. Misty snatched her arm away. "The hell Ash? You're lucky I didn't bring my mallet-" she glanced around. "Why is it so warm all of a sudden?" she raised a brow.

Ash grinned. "Cause it's a hot spring hotel, sweetie," he spoke in a fancy accent. Misty giggled. "Really? You're so kind, good sir," she played along.

Ash laughed. "I know miss," he spoke casually.

The door behind them opened and a tall redhead approached the two. "Hello there," she greeted politely. Ash grinned. Zoey!

"Are you coming in? It's quite cold out here," she offered.

Ash nodded. "Thanks Zoey!" he smiled.

She scrunched her face. "How'd you know my name?" she asked.

Ash sighed. Another one who doesn't recognize him. "Zoey. It's me. Ash." he replied tiredly.

Zoey made an 'o' with her mouth.

"Ash! Ash Ketchum?" she asked.

He nodded solemnly. Zoey noticed his expression and decided not to react too much. She gave him a small smile. "Come on in," she said.

Misty glanced around. "Nice place," she commented.

Zoey smiled appreciatively. "Thank you," she said and held out a hand. "I'm Zoey, by the way," she introduced herself.

Misty grabbed her hand. "Misty," she spoke simply.

"So what brings you here, Ketchum?" Zoey asked casually.

Ash smiled giddily. "Right. I almost forgot," he scratched the back of his head. "We," he pulled Misty closer. 'wanted to invite you to our wedding," he looked at his fiancée fondly.

Zoey blinked before laughing. "No way!" she exclaimed. "Ash Ketchum? Married? When did you grow up again?" she asked. Ash rolled his eyes playfully.

"I'm hurt, Zoey," he spoke dramatically. Zoey shrugged. "Everyone is," she winked. Then she hugged Misty. "Congrats girl," she smiled.

Misty grinned. "Thanks Zoey!" she exclaimed happily.

Zoey glanced at the couple. They looked like they fit perfectly together. She smiled.

"Let me take you to your guys' room,"
