“Wow Misty.” Ash fell back onto his hands and looked into the 
night’s sky. “I never knew that about you.” How could Ash not have realized it? 
After all this time of traveling with Misty had never would have guessed... 
this.

            “Yeah. I tried to hide it. But I couldn’t.” Says Misty leaning 
forward and wrapping her arms around her knees.

            “So you don’t like waffles. I thought you told me everything about 
you.” Says Ash then under his breath he adds. “In between yelling at me.”

            “I don’t and didn’t tell you everything.” Retorts Misty.

            “Oh yeah? What haven’t you told me?” Asks Ash.

            “Well my favorite color is blue.”

            “Knew that.”

            “Er...” Misty runs down the list. “... I had a squirtle when I was 
younger, and I have a secret crush on...” Misty claps a hand to her mouth.

            “You have a secret crush!?” Exclaims Ash. “With who? Anyone I know?”

            “You know him.” Misty says quietly growing redder and redder each 
second.

            “Ok um... Is it... Rudy?”

            “No.”

            “Um is it... Brock, Tracey,...” Ash runs down the list of all the 
(male) people they had met during their journeys together. “It’s not Gary is 
it?” He asks finally.

            “No.”

            Meanwhile on the ground pikachu is drawing the word Ash in the dirt 
over and over while waving glow sticks in formation. Pikachu falls over and 
thinks, “I need to learn to speak human like Meowth.”

            “It’s you Ash...” Misty whispers.

            “Really Misty. Who is it.” Ash asks.

            “No it’s really you Ash.” Misty looks down. “I knew you wouldn’t... 
feel the same.”

(Ok Ash becomes un-Ash-like after this)

            “Ash puts a soft hand on Misty’s chin and moves her face so she 
faces him. He cool blue eye gaze sadly at him until he leans forward and kisses 
her on the lips. Her eyes light up with joy and she slips her arms around him 
and kisses him back.
