Disclaimer: I do NOT own Pokemon in part or in whole and my fanfics are not associeated with the
series in any way. The only thing I own is the plot and my characters.
also, if you see any spelling mistakes, I appologize because I typically writ these fics at one and
two in the morning.


	It was a cold night in Snowpoint yet it was a night that Ash and Misty were more than 
thankful for. They had just been reunited after two long years appart and were warming up after 
their long walk in waist deep snow, with a warm bath. Of coarse if anyone remembers Ash and 
Misty were taking the bath togather. Now the bath is over and now they may face a new set of 
problems so lets get to the story. Just a reminder ' ' means characters thoughts " " means 
character talking, () means pokemon talking, and (' ') means pokemon thinking.

	Misty stirred with a slight yawn and slightly opening her eyes to see Ash getting dressed 
and blowing out the candles that were half melted. While Misty was fully dressed yet she did not 
remember getting out of the bathtub. "Hey Misty how are you doing?" asked Ash with a small 
simle on his face.

"What time is it Ash?" as Misty inquisitivly. "I dont know" was the only response Ash could say.
"But if I had to guess....maby around 10:00. I fell asleep right after you did so I dont know how
long we've been asleep." "Well" started Misty "if its not too late maby we should get something 
to eat." "Now thats a good idea" replied Ash with his usual hunger.

However when Ash and Misty went to see if the others were eating they saw that the pokemon 
center had shut down for the evening and that everyone had gone to bed. "Awww now what will 
we do for dinner?" Asked Ash. "How about we go to the kitchen and see if their is any leftovers"
replied Misty, knowing that brock would make sure that their was.

After Ash and Misty ate what brock had made they soon found themselvs tired again and wanting
to go to sleep. Misty followed Ash as they wandered their way through the dark hallways of the 
Snowpoint pokemon center. They eventually found their way to Ash's room when Misty suddenly
asked. "Hey Ash, where am I going to sleep I dont have a room." Ash, without even thinking 
answerd "Well, why dont you just sleep with me in my bed."

Misty was a little red at the thought of sharing a bed with Ash but she realized that Ash had 
already seen her naked and even held her in his arms while they were both naked so what would
be the big deal about sharing a bed with him when they would both have clothes on. "Alright, I 
guess it wouldn't hurt." was her reply.

As Ash and Misty entered their room they had heard the sounds of a sleeping Pikachu which was
laying in the center of the bed. Misty giggled a little when she saw that Pikachu was not alone.
Next to him lay a sleeping Bunneary whispering gently in its sleep about a certain electric mouse.

Misty and Ash lay next to each other in bed and easily found themselvs holding each other tight
as the quickly fell asleep.

The next morning at around 10:00 A.M. both Ash and Misty awoke to the sounds of a knock on 
the door from Brock and the smell of breakfast. "Morning Mist, did you sleep well?" Ash knew full 
well that Misty adored it when he called her Mist. "I slept like i havn't slept if years." This wasn't a 
lie. Misty often did find it difficult to sleep since she no longer had Ash by her side, but now that
that had changed she was sure that everything would be ok.

Ash and Misty were staring into each other's eyes, Ash into Misty's turquoise eyes, and Misty
into Ash's chocolate brown eyes. They were about to share a passionet kiss when their came
another knock at Ash's door "C'mon guys its late already now get up and get some breakfast"
came Brock's voice from the hall sounding irritated.

"We better get ready to leave soon Mist." stated Ash sounding a little dissipointed, most likely
for being interupted. "Alright Ash, but before we get ready...where were we?" asked Misty
grinning evily. Lets just leave these two for a min. to go and check on brock and Dawn.

"Hey Brock whats taking Ash and Misty so long?" Asked dawn with a slight grin. Brock was
hesitant to reply at first. After all, how should explain that his two closest friends were busy
making-out with each other.

After thinking for a while Brock was about to answer when the door to Ash's and Misty's room
opened. Both Ash and Misty's clothes were a little wrinkled and both of their hair was messy.
Both yawning Ash and Misty asked "Morning guys, how did you sleep?" Dawn and Brock were left
gaping when they saw what both of them looked like. Brock bellowed, "Ash! Misty! Don't tell me you
two did IT last night!

Ash and Misty were turning bright red, when Misty yelled "NO! WE DIDN'T DO IT! WE JUST 
SLEPT IN THE SAME BED! THAT'S ALL!" Brock sighed in relief, he couldn't imagine what would
happen if they did IT.

Ash quickly fixed his appearance while Misty went to wash up in the public bathroom. On their
way to breakfast Ash asked Misty if she had any snow clothes, which she said she didn't. Ash
said that he and Brock would go into town later and get some snow clothes for her. She agreed
and gave Ash her measurments, she gave a copy to Brock, just in case. Brock and Ash finished
breakfast first and went into town.

After having breakfast, Dawn was curious about Misty, sure she had asked a few questions about
Misty in the last two and a half weeks, but she didn't want to upset Ash by talking about Misty, so
she just avoided the subject but now that Misty was here and safe, she felt like she could talk. "Hey
Misty," Dawn began, "How long did you travel around with Ash and Brock before you left?" Misty
expected to be asked questions by Dawn, after all Dawn was pretty young and she remembered
what Ash used to be like at that age. Misty smiled and said, "I have been traveling with Ash since
day one of his journeys, that was until about two years ago." Ash Misty said that last part she 
sounded slightly sad.

"Im sorry, I didn't mean-" But dawn was cut-off by Misty. "No, its okay. After being away from Ash
for so long helped me to realize exactly how much I love him." Both Misty and Ash were blushing.
The word LOVE was still new to the both of them, well, not really, but it was new for them to say it
out loud. The next question, Dawn just couldn't seem to hold it in. "So why did you leave Ash and
Brock in the first place?" Misty didn't really want to think about why, but Dawn did have a 
legitamite question. Misty sighed at first, their wasn't a day that she didn't regret that decision.

"I suppose I really have to balme both my sisters, and me for that. You see, I am, or more likely
was, the gym leader of the Cerulian gym back in Kanto, but before I was, my sisters won a 
around the world cruise and they said that I had to look after the gym. At first I was hesitant to
leave Ash, but I thought that If I could live without Ash that I could put my love for him behind me.
But the longer I was away from Ash, the more I wanted to be with him. I tried for two years to 
let go, and when I saw him with May a year ago I thought that I he had moved on. At first I was
glad that he had moved onto another girl, but after leaving to go back to Cerulian I got really sad
and jelous. But a few months later Ash came back to Cerulian on his way to the Battle Frontier,
when Ash, Max, and Brock were in the city I got to talk to May alone, and she told me that she
wasn't in love with Ash, but that she was in love with Drew, and suddenly I felt sad because Ash
hadn't moved on to another girl, that meant that he still had feelings for me. It was so hard to 
watch him leave again but the Cerulian gym was falling appart and I thought that I could fix it,
but soon trainers stopped coming and the gym was going to be closed. Thats when my 
ex-sisters decided to take the money, that took me months to make, just so they could go and
buy clothes anstead of paying for their home. Then I got this letter from Ash."

Misty pulled out the letter that Ash sent her three weeks ago. "This letter, was the only thing that
comforted me when I needed it most. And most of all...It told me that after the years we spent apart
that Ash still loved me, and that I still loved him. And after what had just happned with my ex-sisters
I decided to leave the gym and be with Ash."

Misty and Dawn continued to talk for a long time about Ash, and then they got into other topics 
that arn't important to the story. But what I'm going to do is take us to Brock and Ash that are in
town right now buying some things for Misty.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ash and Brock:

"Hey Brock, do you think that Misty would like this?" asked Ash holding up a small winter coat with
little rain drops on the back of it. After looking for a second Brock nodded signaling that Misty 
would definately approve. After shopping for a while, both Ash and Brock were heading back to 
the pokemon center when Ash looked into an old antique shop, he didn't know why, but for some
reason or another, some force told him to go into the shop.

As he entered Brock truned around tosee Ash heading into an old store. He quickly followed Ash 
into the shop to ask him why he wentin there in the first palce. "I don't know Brock, I just feel like 
their's something in here thats important." Brock knew that in times like this, to just follow Ash's 
intuition, after all with all the adventures he's been on with Ash, he knew that Ash always seemed to
have a way out of danger.

Thats when a voice greets them both. "Ah, I've been expecting you Mr. Ketchum." the voice said
in a chilling tone."Who's there?" Asked Ash with the slight sound of fear in his voice. "Hehehe,
relax Mr. Ketchum, I have no intention of causing you any or anyone else any harm, Im just the
store keeper." A tall think man came out from the back room holding a small box. "Who are you
and how do you know my name?" Asked Ash not calming down. "If you insist on knowing, I have
been expecting you for some time now, you see, I have an assistant that has known and kept 
a close mind on you. He informed me of your arrival, is that not correct Mewtwo?" 

After finishing this statement the psychic pokemon walked out from the back room to make his 
presence known. "Its been a long time Mewtwo." Ash said grining at the sight of the pokemon that
he helped back in Johto. "Indeed it has. As to why I came here it is because of the lack of human 
travel to thislocation. But I was supprised when I senced you presence coming from route 217. I 
was also supprised when I felt your mindset change as dramatically as it did, however it seems that 
everything is back in order in your mind." 

"I hate to interupt you two." started the store keeper, "but I have an item for Mr. Ketchum that I 
have been holding on to." "Wait I'm confused" said Ash "I've never been in this store, so how do 
you have anything for me?" The store keeper knew that this was a legitamite question so he 
decided to answer honestly. "It's complicated but if you must know, the necklaces I have for you 
were made almost 100 years ago and designed specifically for only two people. It was said that 
when the true owners of the necklaces expressed their hearts for each other that the necklaces
would show their true briliance."

"And when I woke up this morning to go and check the necklaces, it went from a rusted peice of
jewelry, to this." The shopkeeper opened the box to reveal a white gold incrusted, blue saphire in
the shape of a water droplet,which was laying on a ruby studed pendant in the shape of Wind 
swirls that formed a small heart. Thats when the shopkeeper continued." These particular 
necklaces fit togather in order to form a particular design and the name of this design is known
as-"

But the shopkeeper was interupted by Ash."The Heart of Wind and Water." The shopkeeper 
mearly simled at this. "You truely the rightful owner of one of these necklaces, I can see it in your
eyes. The flame that burns in your soul which matches the intensity of the ruby's. Take them." 
The shopkeeper handed Ash the necklaces. "Now that they are in your posesion, you will know
what to do with the other." And with that the shopkeeper turned away to return to the back room
to continue checking on the merchandise.

"It was good to see you again Ash." stated Mewtwo who was about to leave as well, until he heard.
"Mewtwo, your free to leave as well. I recommend that you go with Mr. Ketchum, It isn't wise for a 
lost soul to remain alone and lost forever, and besides, you do a lousey job of polishing the 
jewelry."

Brock, who was silent this whole time, was about to start laughing at the last comment until he saw
that Mewtwo was glowing with his psychic power. Ash was the first person to break the silence.
"So Mewtwo, are you going to go with us or are you just going to go it alone again?" Somehow,
instead of agrivating the psychic even further, he calmed down enough to respond. "Fine, I'll go
with you, but if I must go I would prefer that I be inside a pokeball first. I do not want unwanted
eyes following me when we travel."

"I understand." replied Ash as he took a pokeball out from under his coat and threw it to Mewtwo.
Mewtwo stared at the ball that would soon tie him to Ash until it was decided otherwise. With one
of his three enlarged right fingers he pressed on the pokeball, opening it and letting it take him
without a fight. As the red light disappeared from the pokeball, Ash picked it up and said. "Oh 
man! Brock were late we got to get back to the pokemon center!"

Brock quickly rushed out the door, either to get to the pokemon center or to get to nurse Joy. Ash
quickly stuffed the necklaces in his jacket pocket and headed back to the pokemon center.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misty and Dawn were getting worried because it was getting late in the day and Ash, and Brock 
had not returned to the pokemon center. When they finally entered Misty was the first one to 
respond, "Ash, are you and Brock ok? Where have you two been?! Me and Dawn have been 
worried sick about you."

Brock took his usual defensive stance whereas Ash, who was used to Misty yelling at him, knew
how to upset Misty, but Ash swore to himself that he would try and NOT get into any more 
arguments with Misty, so he said, "Sorry were late Misty, we had a hard time finding something you
might like, and on the way back me and Brock got a little sidetracked." Ash was giving a nervous
laugh and holding the back of his head.

Misty sighed, she knew that getting sidetracked was part of Ash's day to day lifestyle so she let it 
slide. After she calmed down Misty remembered why Ash and Brock had left in the first place. "So
Ash, what did you and Brock get?" Asked Misty with a slight grin. "Oh yeah, well we got you some
long pants for the cold, and we also got you this jacket." 

Ash pulled out a blue jacket with the image of an Azuril on it. Misty looked at it for half a second
before running into Ash's arms saying "Oh Ash its so cute. I love it!" But Ash wasn't done yet, he
then went into his jacket pocket and pulled out a long velvet box, and said. "Well Misty, I didn't 
really mean to get it but the storekeeper just sort of gave this to me." Ash opened the box and gave
Misty the Heart of Water, as it ws so named. "Oh Ash, Its so beautiful!" After Ash placed it on 
Misty's neck she once again lept into Ash's arms, but this time, she gave Ash one of the deepest
kisses she could, it was so passionet that as their lips touched, both Ash and Misty's legs turned
to rubber, and they both ended up on the floor. As their kiss intensified, Misty started to probe 
Ash's lips with her tounge. Ash quickly gave her permission to enter, and they both started to 
explore each others mouths as their tounge's danced togather. Both Ash and Misty savored the
taste of each other's tounges on their own.

Before things continued to 'progress', both Ash and Misty were both brought back to the real world
with one of Pikachu's thundershocks.[Ash, Misty what do you two think you were about to do?!] 
asked Pikachu, who was slightly blushing at what he saw his trainer doing. That's when Togepi 
asked (yes, i know togepit supposed to be gone.) [Uncle Pikachu, what were Mommy and Daddy
doing to each other?] Everyone except Dawn were blushing, trying to think of how to explain what
Togepi had seen, to it. (Dawn wasn't blushing because she didn't understand what Togepi asked)

Luckily for mostly everyone, Benneary poped out of her pokeball and told Togepi, [We'll explain
everything when you'r a little older.] Everyone sighed in relief until Togepi noticed something else.
[You smell like Uncle Pikachu. Have you been sleeping with him?] Togepi didn't understand what
it had asked, or how Benneary and Pikachu would interpret it. Both Pikachu's and Bunneary's
faces turned bright, crimson red before a loud "Pi Pi Pii!!" was heard throughout the pokemon 
center. The next thing everyone noticed was that Pikachu was chasing Togepi around the center
while Benneary stayed as still as possible while steam poured out of its ears with a huge blush on
her face.

After Misty went to to see if her new clothes fit, everyone sat down to dinner. Tonight, they were
going to have a feast to commerate Ash and Misty getting togather since they couldn't do it last
night. Ash and Misty took turns feeding each other. Brock could barely watch them as they 
enjoyed dinner like never before. It was kinda sickening to him, here he was, alone, while his two
best friends were being kissy face, something he wanted to do with a girl since he was... who 
knows when.

After dinner, Misty decided to call Tracy and see if her sisters still owned the gym or if they were
actually homeless.(she was hoping for homeless) Instead of calling Cerulian directly, she first 
called Prof. Oak's lab to see if Tracy was their, when nobody answered she decided to call 
Cerulian cuty. after talking to the Cerulian city hall, she found out that Cerulian gym had, infact
been closed down. Since Misty didn't know where her sisters could be she decided to go to
bed with Ash for the night. (no not that type of go to bed!)

Misty wasn't very tired that night, and suprisingly, Ash wasn't either. "Hey Ash, are we leaving for
the next town tomorrow?" asked Misty inquisitively. "Yeah Misty, we start off toward Celest town
tomorrow because its supposed to be one of the warmest days of the year, so it should be best
to leave then."

Misty knew that Ash was smart, but he didn't want to show it too much. "So where are we gonna
go after that?" Asked Misty, who was trying to think of the best route. "Well after Celest town, I
guess we could head to Vilestone City, rest their for a day or more, then head to Valor Lakefront
for a break."

Misty smiled, after all that they had been through in the past few weeks, she knew they could both
use a break. Ash was almost his normal self, he was still a little paler than Misty remembered, but
Misty had the worse of it. After all, she knew that she loved Ash for longer than he knew that he 
loved her. The time spent appart had weakened both of them, it was like being appart was a 
disease to them.

"Hey Ash, isn't Valor Lakefront supposed to be a really popular vacation spot? How are we going 
to stop there if its booked?" However, for once Ash had thougth ahead. "I already called and 
booked us a room or two. It was easy because it's close to their off season." This is true. Valor
lakefront is really popular, in the summer seasons, however in the Fall, it's ordinarilly empty.

Ash considered letting Mewtwo out of his pokeball but decided against it because it was too cold
outside for anything other than an ice pokemon, and besides, he didn't want Mewtwo interupting
on Misty and his...alone time.

Ash and Misty quickly slipped into their night clothes, got under the blankets, and cuddled close to
each other. Pikachu was laying under the bed, he had found it difficult to sleep on the bed with 
both Misty and Ash.

The next morning, everyone had awoke early to pack their things and get ready to leave for Celest
Town. Brock hated to leave Nurse Joy but he knew that he couldn't leave Ash, Misty, and Dawn
alone to get lost. Besides, he wanted to make sure that Misty wouldn't try and kill Ash for making
a wrong turn on the way to their destination. So off the four travelers went. Little did they know,
soon Ash and Misty's relationship would be but to the test, for now at least one shadowed figure
was on her way to Celest town, and Ash.

The end...For now.
