This fanfic I wrote was partially inspired by the song “If I never knew you” redone by the Cheetah Girls, and the rest goes to a special person in my life. I hope you like this. Enjoy, peeps, and tell me how you like it. If I never knew you If I never felt this love I would have no inkling of How precious life can be A very beautiful woman was just lying on the ground of an over looking hill. She saw the one thing she really couldn’t handle right now. She wished that she could take back those last few minutes that completely ruined her life. She was looking up at the sky, wondering why she couldn’t have told him what she needed to tell him before. Now, he had someone else….and it wasn’t her. And if I never held you I would never have a clue How it lasted finding you The missing part of me “I’m an idiot. Why’d I tell her that lie? There’s no one else but her. Now, she’s probably already being asked out by someone…..and it’s not me.” He picked up a photograph of Ash and his last girlfriend. He stared at him and how he thought he was happy with her. He, then, began to look at the background of the photo. Misty was in it, too. She wasn’t looking at the camera like he and the girl was. She was staring at him. He took a closer look, and saw her cheeks blushing. “Oh my god,” he thought to himself, “She liked me. Maybe she still does. I’m hoping she’s still there. I’ve got a surprise for her…” He began to formulate a plan to win back the woman of his dreams, the woman who stole his heart. If this world so full of fear Full of rage and lies I can see the truth so clear In your eyes, so dry your eyes She began to sit up, and more or less, talking to herself. “Misty, you’re not going to feel any better by sitting on a diglett-filled hill and moping about a man you lost.” She stood up and looked at the town below. She stared at a particular house and saw someone walking out of it. “Ash,” she whispered, “Goodbye. You have someone else, again. I only wish you happiness.” She turned around and began to walk into a forest leading to the next town. She stopped, turned, and looked back at the town. She remembered some happy times she had with Ash. And I’m so grateful to you I’d have lived my whole life through Lost forever If I never knew you They were happy times… If I never knew you I'd be safe but half as real Never knowing I could feel A love so strong and true It was too much for her, so she turned to run away to the one place she knew it would make her feel better. I'm so grateful to you I'd have lived my whole life through She ran back to Dratini’s Pond, where the water was as clear as the tears that fall from her eyes. Lost forever If I never knew you Ash grabbed his cd player with batteries in it, so he could play her favorite song. He went out the door and walked to the last place he thought he would find Misty. He began to recollect the painful memory of just 30 minutes ago…. “Misty, why are you shutting me out? I’m trying to help you cope with your breakup.” I said to her in my most caring tone. “I don’t need you to help me. I’m doing just fine. I don’t need him anymore. I only needed one person….” “Mist, just you don’t count. Why are you being so selfish?” “Ash, I’m not being selfish. You’re the one…..” “Hey, don’t go blaming this on me. Just because you can’t keep a partner, and I can, don’t mean you can blame this on me.” “So, you do have someone?” “Yes, I do. Why can’t you get that through your head?!” “I see,” she began to start crying, “Just go away for now. I can’t talk to you anymore.” “Fine!” I began to run towards my house, leaving her on that hill….. I thought our love would be so beautiful Somehow we made the whole world bright Misty walked over to a log. She sat upon it and pulled out a photo of her and her last boyfriend. She knew she wasn’t happy with him. She looked at Ash in the picture, who was standing next to her. He wasn’t looking at the camera. He was looking at her. It wasn’t the “I want you to be happy” look, it was the “I want you to love me, not him” look. She stared at the pokemon swimming in the water, like they had no cares in the world. They had happiness, why couldn’t she have it? I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night Ash walked up the hill and found it empty. He was so sure that she would still be here. He searched around a little bit, but still couldn’t find her. He began thinking back to something that she once said… “My favorite place?” “Yeah. Misty, everyone has this one place that makes them feel better no matter what…” “Of course,” he said to himself, “Dratini’s Pond!” Ash took off towards where the pond was, hoping like a wishful heart that she’d be there, if no where else. But still my heart is singing We were right Misty looked around to see no one is around. She took off her shoes and socks, and lay the picture down next to her shoes. She set them next to a fairly big rock, then jumped into the pond and swim around with the pokemon. She loved the feeling that she could move so freely in the water. She felt so weightless, like nothing could keep her down. She didn’t know that somebody was looking for her above the surface. If I never knew you If I never knew this love I would have no inkling of How precious life can be “Misty? Misty, where are you?” Ash gave up on looking for her, ignoring the figure swimming below, and it’s not a pokemon. He sat down on the ground and pressed the play button on the cd player and turned up the volume. ‘If I never knew you’ was playing. He remembered her telling him that this song was one of her favorites. There's no moment I regret Since the moment that we met If our time has gone too fast I've lived at last... Misty was swimming below when she heard what she thought was her favorite song. She thought it was her mind playing tricks on her. The song never went away though, she kept hearing it. She swam up and saw Ash sitting with his head in his arms, which were wrapped around his knees. She heard her song playing on the radio that was next to him. She tried to find her voice, and was about to speak when she heard him talking. I thought our love would be so beautiful Somehow we'd make the whole world bright “Misty, I’m so sorry. Please come back to me.” I thought our love would be so beautiful “I never left.” Ash looked up and saw Misty floating in the water. He’d never seen her look more beautiful. Her hair was sticking to her head, and some pieces of hair fell over her deep blue eyes. Her eyes had that loving look in them. Misty looked at him. She noticed the tear stains on his eyes. How long had he been crying? “Ash, what are you doing here?” “I needed to tell you something.” “It’s ok. I get it……” “No, you don’t.” “I do. You have a girlfriend and you don’t want me following you around, so I won’t. I’ll stay here.” “Misty, let me finish. I don’t have a girlfriend right now.” “But, you said….” “I said that I had someone. But I didn’t mean that I had a girlfriend. I just meant that I had someone to love, even if they didn’t love me back.” “Before, when I said I only needed one person, you cut me off before I could finish. I was going to say that I only needed one person, and it was you. I was trying to say it again, also, when I said that you’re the one.” “So, you were trying to tell me that you loved me? “Do I have to correct you? Loved is a past tense. If I loved you, it meant that I loved you in the. Love is a present tense, meaning I love you now. Will love is a future tense, meaning that I will love you sometime in the future.” “What are you saying?” We'd turn the darkness into light And still my heart is singing We were right We were right “I’m saying that I loved, still love, and will love you.” And If I never knew you I'd have lived my whole life through Empty as the sky “I love you too.” Misty climbed out of the water, walked up to Ash, and he pulled her into a kiss. It seemed like forever before they pulled apart. She stared into his eyes, and he brushed the hairs from the front of her eyes so he could stare into them as well. Never knowing why Lost forever “I’m so glad I know you.” “Me too, Misty, me too.” If I never knew you Well, what’d ya think? Not too bad? It only took me an hour to write it. It all just came to me, and as it came, I typed it out. To that very special person in my life, and you know who you are, I hope you like this. It was made for you. Well, tell me what you think. Catch y’all later. A couple of doves
