Chapter: 8
I’m so sorry for those who have been waiting patiently for this chapter; I have been really busy lately with summer sports and all that junk. But today I’m sick so I decided this is the perfect opportunity to write it. Sorry to that disappointed fan of most of my stories, I know that was a filler but I couldn’t think of anything else to write so I hope you enjoy this chapter!
“We want you to totally be in our fashion show! Isn’t that like great?” Daisy squealed.
I scoffed. “No.”
“What? I thought you totally liked to dress up in like pretty stuff.”
“Yeah Misty, you’d be really great!” Ash cheered.
“No I won’t. I’d be as bad as you when you first started training, Ash!!! Besides, Daisy, dressing up in your stuff is heck enough!” Everybody frowned. Last time when I accepted I was all excited and everything and when I went on stage I got stage fright and barfed all over the $200.00 dress.
“Super please Misty?!” I shook my head for the final time and sprinted into my room and locked the door directly.
“Can you like try to get her to join, Ash, this is totally important to us?” I heard Lily plead through the door.
“I don’t know, guys. I don’t think she should have to if she doesn’t want to.”
‘Thank you, Ash!’ I thought.
“But the sake of like Cerulean City is like held in her hands, we don’t have anybody else her size! Unless you want to dress up as a total girlie girl…and do it for her…?”
“No!!! I’ll try to get her to do it!!!”
I groaned. ‘Thanks, Ash…’
“We knew you’d like think our way, thanks Ash!” I heard my sister’s scuttle through the hall, their high-heels clacking on the floor. And Ash turned toward my door and knocked.
“Can I please come in, Misty?”
“No!”
“Please?” Ash asked sweetly.
“I said no, Ash! I heard the conversation. I refuse to do this! I can’t be on stage in a dim-witted sparkly dress! I’ll barf!” I yelled. I heard Ash sigh.
“Well, can I come in anyway? We don’t have to talk about the fashion show.”
“Promise?”
“Yeah?” I got up and went to the door and unlocked it.
“Come in, Ash.” The door opened and revealed Ash. He shut it behind him and sat on my bed.
“So what’s up, Misty?” He quizzed.
“Nothing.” Ash sighed and gaped around the room.
“Wow…it looks the same in here than it does in my room…” I looked at him with a scowl on my face.
“Well duh, Ash! It’s kind of the same Pokemon Center!” I snapped.
“Gee, sorry Misty. I’m just trying to bring up a decent conversation.” He said.
“Well you aren’t doing a very good job at it!” He didn’t say anything after that, he just got up and left and I didn’t mind as I felt like being alone right now.
I sighed. I wanted to go back home…to my own point in time. I loathed this time of my life…being 12 and all. I plummeted back on my bed and stared at the ceiling.
There was zilch to do now, since I wasn’t going to be joining the talent show and all. There wasn’t even dots on the ceiling to count, though I already knew that I would lose my count sometime around 10.
“I’m bored…” I muttered.
“…Well you shouldn’t be…” I shot upright and jerked my head to the wall behind me.
“What are you doing here?!” I hollered. Because leaning on the wall behind me was the same man I woke up to that one morning, Ulario I think his name was. “Where did you go that one morning, you made me look like a moron in front of Ash!”
“That is not important, Misty. You want to get back to your own time, yes, when you were 15?” My head shot up and I gave him a quizzical look.
“You can get me back to my own time?”
“No…” My head drooped back down and I turned around to loll on my bed again. Then he continued. “But you can.”
“How? Wish on a star or something?!”
Ulario smiled. “No silly, you need to get Ash’s attention.”
“What?! That’s too easy!” I screamed. If this was in my face the whole time…I was gonna kill…and soon.
“No, Misty, listen. You need to get the 14-year-old Ash. You need to get his attention! Only he has the power to get both of you back to your own time.”
“What the heck do you mean? Isn’t he…you know?”
“Indeed he is, but that can be changed can’t it? It is the past you know.”
“Yeah, it can. But one thing genius, how do I get 14-year-old Ash’s attention?”
Ulario’s smile just got wider. “In the next big city…Redthorn, there’s a withered shed, inside that shed is a hole in the floor.”
“Then what?”
“You’ll see.” I heaved a sigh and shook my head.
Ash’s yell through the hallway broke and cremated the silence. “Misty, who’re you talking to?”
“No one! Just to myself.” I bellowed back. I looked back to where Ulario had been standing, but he was no longer there.
“Goody…”
The next day was dark and stormy, rain pitting and patting on the glass window. Thunder shattered the silence as the lightning massacred the shadows with it’s blinding light. I woke up with a start whilst the firsts of the thunders blared through the Pokemon Center.
“Geez…loud today, aren’t we?” I muttered as I jumped out of bed and went to get dressed.
I chose a plain gray shirt and black low-hipped shorts. I brushed my hair back into a low ponytail for a change because somehow I knew today it was destined to be low-key. I brushed my teeth and headed out for breakfast in the Pokemon Center Lobby.
As I walked into the lobby everyone without delay looked at me.
“What?” I snapped.
Nobody said anything but went back to his or her own business. I headed towards the breakfast table where Ash was finishing his meal, most likely his third or fourth.
“Hey Misty! Try these bagels, they taste great!”
“Ash, the cream cheese reeks.”
“Yeah, but it tastes great!” Ash beamed down at the food as if he was a pirate and the bagels were gold.
“Whatever.” I grabbed for a bagel and some butter instead of the chunky cream cheese.
“Like Misty, we’re sorry that we like totally pressured you.” Daisy, Lily, and Violet gathered in their small group near me.
“Sure.”
“Instead we have a like offer this time.” Violet murmured, “we want to like totally take you on a shopping spree and give you a makeover. And…we’ll like pay for all of it.”
Lily shrieked out like she had just been stabbed in the back with a knife. “What?! I never agreed to-!” Daisy had elbowed her in the side and Lily’s raged eyes became dilated with tears. “I’m gonna like totally have a bruise there now, thanks a lot!”
“But there is a catch.” Daisy whispered sternly.
“You must participate in the Fashion show.”
“What, are you crazy!?” I screeched. “Let me get this straight, you want to take me on a shopping spree and give me a complete makeover just so I’ll participate in the fashion show?”
“You got it.”
I looked towards Ash who was looking directly at me. He shrugged and I shrugged back.
“Well, okay.”
