Hello :P Today is Wednesday so I'm back with a new update. It's also the anniversary of when the Pokemon Anime first aired in Japan and of course the anniversary of Ash and Misty's first meeting. It happened 18 years ago today :3 This is just a bit of cute PokeShipping to celebrate the occasion. I hope you enjoy :P

Disclaimer: I own only the story :3

I sighed contentedly and lay back happily on the blanket I was perched on, looking at all the sights around me. The sun was beating down on the water while the wind rustled the trees in a calm manner. The weather seemed to be approving of the fact that today; Ash and Misty were on a date.

Currently they were lying together on a picnic blanket, Misty's head resting on her boyfriend's chest and Ash's legs intertwined with hers. It made me so happy that they were comfortable enough to let me come along with them, even though it was meant to be their alone time.

Suddenly, Misty sat up, causing Ash to sleepily open one eye that had previously been shut.

"We've done enough lying around and cuddling." She announced, which caused Ash's mouth to form a pout.

The red head giggled fondly and poked his cheek with one hand, ruffling his messy raven locks with the other.

"We can cuddle again later, Ashy. I wanna splash my feet a bit." She smiled at him before proceeding to take off her shoes and sit on the lakes edge. "Are you joining me?"

Ash just shook his head so his black mane moved with the action. A small smirk formed on his lips and he laid back down, his arms behind his head.

"You go for it, Mist. I wanna watch you for now."

I watched as Misty blushed at her boyfriend's words before raising her eyebrow slightly and returning his smirk.

Misty began to creep nearer the water's edge and soon enough slipped her legs in up to her knees. She gasped at the cold water but soon sighed contentedly. I smiled to myself as I knew at that moment; she was near two of her favourite thing.

Ash watched his girlfriend for a few moments, his chocolate brown eyes following her every move and his smile widening every time she did something absent mindedly. My best friend had it bad.

Smiling contentedly to myself, I slipped back into slumber on my stripy blanket, letting out happy cooing sounds while I slept. My raven haired best friend must have fallen asleep also as the next thing I knew; he seemed to be drenched in water.

I opened my eyes due to the sound of the splash and Ash yelping. When I took a look at the scene in front of me, the teenage boy was shaking his head like a dog and making water flick off in all directions.

Misty laughed and squinted slightly as the water went in her eyes.

"Ash, quit it! Can't you dry your hair like a normal person?"

Ash just continued grinning and shaking his head, enjoying the fact he seemed to be soaking his girlfriend.

"You were the one who decided to throw water at me so it's only fair I splash you a bit in return."

I saw Misty's hands reach for the water and she was about to make another splash at Ash when the sky suddenly filled with grey clouds and a chill filled the air. We all looked up, craning our necks to the world above.

"Aw c'mon, it better not rain on our date." Misty huffed, shaking her head in a disappointed manner.

Seeing his girlfriend's disheartened expression, Ash frowned and looked around. Suddenly he had an idea and decided to lift the picnic blanket he was lying on over his head.

"Over here, Mist. Come stay dry with me under here. You too, Pikachu."

Misty didn't need to be told twice as he ran from the water's edge and huddled by her boyfriend's side. I was staying dry under the tree I was lying under but I didn't want to miss out on the cuddle that seemed to be happening.

I darted from where I was sitting and onto my best friend's warm lap. Misty's head was resting on Ash's shoulder and she was clinging onto his wet t shirt.

I saw she was glancing at Ash to see if he was upset by the sudden turn of events but he seemed unfazed, holding the blanket over all of us with his strong arms. After a few minutes of silence, Ash turned to us both, grinning and the blanket wrapped around his head like a weird scarf. Hearing us both laugh out loud, Ash continued his antics even long after the rain had stopped.

During one of his mad comedy routines, I stopped to watch Misty's face. Her mouth was fixed into a firm smile and her eyes lit up the way I don't think I had seen before. The sides of her eyes were creased with laugher and she kept on stroking her boyfriend's chest in a fond manner.

Looking at her expression, one thing became clear to me. I had known it all along but now I was truly certain. Misty was deeply in love with my best friend and I couldn't be happier.

The End.

There you go! Thanks so much for reading and I hope you liked :3 I guess it's kind of typical that the setting of this is their lake. But I think it would be a special and typical date place for them :P Thanks again and I'll be back next week :3
