Misty's song

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon, or any songs, except a few lousy ones I wrote myself... They really suck, though.

Summary: Misty has something to say... or should that be, sing?

Note: The song is from the first Pokémon CD, '2. B. A. Master.' It is on track 11. You can listen to it in the music section of the Pokémon Tower, as a MP3.

Speech. Song. Pikachu talking and thoughts.

"Pikachu, can you give this to Ash, please?" Misty leant down and gave Pikachu the envelope. "Quickly, before I change my mind..." <Okay, Misty>

"Pika!" Ash looked up as Pikachu slipped into the room and jumped up onto the table. "What you got there, Pikachu?" Ash took the envelope and flipped it to look at the back. "S.W.A.L.K? What does that mean? Who's Swalk?" Pikachu sighed and shook his head, embarrassed for his trainer. Ash opened the envelope and read the letter inside. "Dear Ash, I have something, important, to tell you. Please meet me, at sunset, at the place where we first met each other. Signed, Misty. P.S. Come alone." Ash looked the letter over again, and scratched his head. "The place where we first met each other?! What could she tell me there, that she couldn't tell me here?"

The sun was just setting as Ash reached the clearing. The lake was already in shadows, but at the edge he saw Misty, sitting on a rather familiar rock... Stepping forwards, he opened his mouth to call out, but was stopped short by the voice, echoing out over the surface of the water...

"Out here in the quiet of the night

Beneath the stars, and moon

We both know we've got something on our minds

We won't admit, but it's true

You look at me, I look away…"

"I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart

Oh, why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do?!

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, and to say that, I love you."

Ash stood stock-still and felt his jaw slowly drop. 'Was THIS what she wanted to tell him?!'

"I practice all the things that I could say

Line by line, every word

I tell myself, today could be the day

But every time, I lose my nerve

I look at you, you look away…"

"I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart

Oh, why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do?!

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, and to say that, I love you."

Ash cautiously stepped back as Misty stood up.

"Why, why do you turn away?

It must be, you're afraid, like me

I try, but I can't pretend that I

Don't feel for you, the way I do

Can't you see?!"

"I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart

Oh, why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do?!

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, and to say that, I love you."

Misty turned and slowly walked over the where Ash was still standing, her eyes focused everywhere but on his face, a blush creeping up her neck and face.

"I wanna say

But I'm afraid

So hard to do..."

Reaching him, she leaned forwards, kissed him gently on the lips and whispered in his ear. "I love you."

"I wanted to say..."

Ash blushed and grinned nervously. "Um, I, don't know any songs or anything, but..." He quickly darted forwards and kissed her on the cheek. Misty smiled. "You don't need one, Ash."

Awww, wasn't that just the sweetest?! Very fluffy. The reason why both Ash's thoughts and Pikachu are like this, is because there's only one bit of each. Misty's signature is in the Blackadder ITC font I found on my computer. Cool, hey?

AUSSIE WOLF.
