Hello :P Today is Wednesday so I am back with a new update. This one is a little bit different than what I usually write but I hope it's okay. It's just to show that things do happen between Ash and Misty and sometimes they too go through rough patches but they always love each other :3

Disclaimer: I own only the story :3

"You want me to be more interested when you talk to me about her? Okay then. How about I tell you that I agree that she is one of a kind and really beautiful? How about I tell you how much I love the way her eyes light up when she talks about something she loves? How about I admit to you that I'm so in love with your girlfriend that I don't even know what to do about it and I hate my heart or brain or whatever is making me feel like this!"

Ash and I both shot up in bed after sharing the same dream, these words still echoing around our brains. My eyelids were heavy and my mind was in the same fog that my best friend's was. All I know was that Ash, Misty and I had gone to a party last night with all our friends and met a couple of strangers. Needless to say, the events had been a blur and mixed with thunderous music and alcohol. We both glanced at each other, our mouths open and our hearts pounding.

Did somebody really say that or was it just a figment of our imagination and Ash's drinking? Did we know the person who said these heartfelt words or was it a complete stranger who thought they loved Misty at first sight? Neither of us knew. All we knew is that it was just gone three in the morning and our hearts were thudding.

Ash glanced over to his girlfriend who was sleeping peacefully, letting out content noises in her slumber. She barely had anything to drink and was completely unaware of the stranger's confession so no doubt she was having sweet dreams.

I gave Ash a glare of "no" when Ash began to shake her, thinking it the worst idea to discuss what happened with her as we weren't really sure if it did happened. He ignored my look and soon enough Misty woke up.

"What is it Ash…?" she mumbled sleepily, staring into the darkness at her boyfriend. "Are you okay? Did you throw up?"

Ash's lips formed a pout and he muttered in denial before sighing. He cuddled up next to Misty but didn't look her in the eye, his fingers playing with her hair.

"I wanna talk to you about something. It's pretty serious."

At this I could tell Misty's heart rate sped up but she tried to stay calm and although sleepy, she gave Ash an inviting smile. The raven haired teenager cleared his throat and began.

"I was just thinking… Have you ever thought what you would do if someone else besides me fell in love with you?"

Upon hearing this, Misty's eyes grew wide and she shook her head frantically.

"Of course I've never thought that! What on earth made you think about that?"

Both Ash and I's mouths grew dry with anxiety. I don't know why, we still weren't sure whether or not what we thought had happened actually occurred.

"Nothing, really. Just late night wonderings, I guess. And you don't have to worry, no one is in love with you or I, not that I know of anyway."

I interrupted to help Ash out.

He's just speaking hypothetically.

Misty and Ash both let out sighs of relief upon my addition to the conversations. Misty's was due to that of being reassured that Ash didn't think she was cheating on him and Ash's was most likely the fact I taught him a new word.

A couple minutes of silence passed before Misty spoke.

"Why would anyone else but you be in love with me? I know plenty of people think they're in love with you but they're fans so that's to be expected."

"I'm not talking about fans, Misty, I mean a person who really wants to be with you. Maybe someone we actually know. Someone like Rudy."

At the mention of this person's name, Misty sat up and turned the bed side lamp on, revealing her raised eyebrow to the both of us.

"Rudy? You still think about Rudy?" she couldn't help but smirk and nudge Ash, knowing all too well his jealousy towards the male she was talking about.

My best friend folded his arms stubbornly and blushed before turning serious again.

"No, I don't think about Rudy because he happened like… Seven years ago. He was just an example of a person who was in love with you."

Misty tilted her head slightly and put her finger to her lips in a thoughtful manner.

"But was he really in love with me?"

"Of course he was!"

The red haired female sighed, cuddling up beside her boyfriend and stroking his chest absent mindedly.

"Okay maybe he thought he was but that's exactly what I'm saying. It doesn't matter if people think they are in love with you or I but the truth is, they're not. They might think they are but they wouldn't have seen our flaws or the way we both get so jealous or our stubbornness. My point is, you have to see all sides of a person before determining if you are truly in love with all of them or just the side they show you."

Ash didn't comment for a few seconds as I think he was awestruck by his girlfriend's wisdom and thought out answer. I nodded in agreement and soon Ash did too. After a few more minutes of Misty consoling Ash and Ash confirming she didn't need to worry about his sudden question, we all cuddled down to sleep. The young couple fell asleep soundly right away but I lay awake, just thinking about Misty's answer. I was also wondering if the stranger proclaiming his love for Misty was a story we made up in our tired subconscious or not.

Eventually, we did find out who the identity of this person was but it doesn't matter, because it's the past. No matter what a couple faces together whether it's someone else admiring or being in love with one of them or private problems, the important thing is to remember that these things happen for a reason and it makes you as a couple or as an individual a much stronger person. And boy, the couples I know are now as strong as you can get.

The End.

There you go! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy :3 I left who the person actually was up to your imagine. He may have an important identity or he may not. Who knows? :P Thanks again and I will be back next Wednesday :3
