At Broad daylight,Ash and the gang were on their way to a new 
adventure,but the travel turned out to be a total mess up.For the 
millionth time...they were lost.


Misty:Oh Great! We're lost! And its all thanks to Ash Ketchum!
Ash:Oh so its my fault?!
Misty:As a matter of fact it is!
Brock:Now would you both calm down!?Aruing and fighting isn't gonna get 
us out of here!
Pikachu:Pika (Right!)
Misty:(Calmed down)Well if Mr. Knows-It-All can get us out of here,then 
I would feel better!
Ash:(Outraged)Well if I cant find a route to the next town,why don't you 
lead us there?!
Misty:I think I can do that.
Ash:(Talking to himself)This I gotta see.


Misty was already ahead of Ash and Brock but Pikachu was walking right 
beside her,being protective.As they emerged from the trees,they found 
the bright, glowing town just shining from the distance.Just 8 miles 
away,but they could make it there in no time.


Misty:Ha! I knew I could find it!
Ash:(Talking to himself)She actually found it!
Brock:Lets Go!


But just as Pikachu was running down the hill, he suddenly stopped.


Misty:Huh? What's wrong Pikachu?


Pikachu sniffed the air with his ears tilted down.The he shot up.


Pikachu:Pika! Pi Pikachu Pika Pi Chu!(Misty!There's something coming 
this way!)
Misty:Coming?


Then,she looked up ahead and saw a flock of beedrill flying towards them!


Misty:AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They all stormed back into the woods as fast as the could go.As they 
tried to hide,Misty tripped on a rock and fell.One flew straight towards 
her and stung her arm!She cried out in pain.Ash saw this and ran to save 
her,practically forgetting about hiding.Misty was about to get stung by 
another beedrill until Ash appeared with a stick as a weapon to scare 
them away.


Ash:Get Outta Here!! Leave her Alone!!!


Pikachu rushed to help the kids and used all of his energy to shock the 
beedrill with his thunderbolt.The beedrill only had a few minutes to 
recover so that gave Pikachu,Ash,and Misty a chance to get away.Ash knew 
that Misty couldn't run or get up because of the pain she had.


Ash:Misty are you okay!? I'm gonna carry you to safety.
Misty:No Ash.Save yourself.Dont worry about me.
Ash:I'm never gonna leave you behind no matter what you say! Lets Go 
Pikachu!


Ash lifted Misty into his arms and carried her to a cave where Brock had 
been hiding.


Brock:Hurry! In here!


As the beedrill flew off,Ash looked at Misty's arm.It looked pretty bad.


Ash:Misty are you okay?
Misty:Yeah......I'll be...fine...
Ash:No,No you're not okay! You got stung by a beedrill! Who knows what 
that thing can do to you!
Misty:Ash,I told you...I'll be okay.
Ash:........If you say so.
Brock:We ought to spend the night here until the beedrill are gone,and 
try to find some kind of antidote to cure Misty's wound.
Ash:(To Misty)Do you think we might find an antidote?
Misty:I hope so.
Ash:Is your arm feeling well?
Misty:A little.But I think it might be better in the morning.
Ash:I hope so too.

_____

In the morning,Misty's arm looked worse than yesterday!This was more 
than just serious.


Ash:Misty I Cant stand it!Your arm is getting worse by the minute!
Misty:...Maybe you're right.
Ash:Brock,we have to do something!
Brock:Hmmmmm....you know,the Pokemon Center is not too far from 
here.Maybe they have an antidote for beedrill venom.Maybe I should 
go.You need to stay with Misty.She needs you more than me.
Ash:Okay,but take Pikachu just in case you run into those beedrill.
Brock:All right.Take good care of her.
Ash:I will.I hope you make it in time because where we are,the Center is 
miles away.
Brock:Dont worry.I'll be back as soon as I can.You just worry about 
Misty.Bye Ash.
Ash:Bye Brock.Hurry Back.

_____

Misty was getting worse than before.Ash tried his best to keep her 
awake.He knew that the best thing to keep a person awake is to ask them 
as many questions they could find in their head.


Ash:So um.....you like tentacruel and tentacool?
Misty:.....mmm..hmmm
Ash:Well if I find one,I'll give it to you.
Misty:...You dont have to.
Ash:But I will.


Ash knew that Misty couldn't sleep in any condition.So he spreaded his 
jacket on the ground and let Misty lay on it with her head resting on 
his hand.


Ash:Misty listen to me,you're gonna have to stay awake.If you dont,you 
might suffer.
Misty:I'll try...but I....cant...
Ash:You're gonna have to.

_____

Ash still stared at Misty,not taking his eyes off her.Misty's beautiful 
eyes were fixing to shut down.


Ash:Misty,stay up!
 Misty:Huh?Oh...Sorry.

 _____

Ash fell asleep.He had this dream.He was standing in a field,with no one 
in sight.When he was about to run away,he saw someone running towards 
him.It was Misty! And she looked good as new! Ash ran to her.But 
then,this lovely dream turned into a nightmare.When they were about to 
reach each other,Misty winced and fell to the ground!

Ash:Misty!

He ran as fast as he could to Misty.He picked her up.She wasen't 
moving.She wasen't even breathing!

Ash:Misty! Misty! Wake Up! Please! Wake Up!


Ash woke up.Misty was right beside him.He looked at her.He had extremely 
hot tears in his eyes.Misty was hurting bad.She was his best friend.He 
cant loose her.

He cant.

Ash:Misty,wake up.
But Misty didn't answer.She didn't even make a sound.

Ash:Misty? Misty! Oh no Misty! Please dont die! Dont Die On Me!

Misty Passed Out.
_____
Ash stared at Misty,who was sleeping for a long time.He never let go of 
her shaking hand.

Ash:Misty,I want you to wake up.For me.You have a whole new life ahead 
of you! You cant just let a stupid beedrill sting ruin it! Wake up 
Misty! Please!(In Tears) Please..Please Wake up....

Then,after hearing his voice crying for her,she woke up.

Misty:......Ash?
Ash:Misty? Misty! You're Awake!
Misty:I....I heard you yell out my name and...
Ash:Shhh...dont speak.

_____

Misty was then again back to sleep.Ash was crying to see his best friend 
hurt because of the pain.Brock should have been back by the antidote by 
now.Ash heard Misty talk in her sleep about the pain.


Misty:....My arm....it feels like someone is...slamming it with a 
hammer.The poison,its reaching into my heart.Its hurting my chest.
Those three sentances made Ash cry even harder.What Misty didn't 
know,was that Ash had a secret...he loved her.Ash thought this would be 
a good time to reveal this secret to her.


Ash:......Misty...there's....something I always wanted to tell you.....I 
love you.
 Misty:I'm so scared...I dont know what to do...
Ash:You do...just wake up Misty.Please.Please wake up..Wake up...wake 
up...please..please wake up Misty.. please...I love you...

_____

Brock then came back with the antidote.He ran to the cave as fast as he 
could to make sure Misty was okay.Ash was relived to see him.


Brock:I'm back.Here's the antidote.
Ash:Here Misty,drink this.


Misty gulped the medicine down her throat with Ash holding the bottle.


Brock:The bottle says it takes 3 minutes to heal.In the meantime,lets 
try to get Misty awake.
Ash:Come on Misty,wake up.You can do it.Please Misty.Wake up.


A few minutes later,Misty's arm was getting back to health! At least the 
arm was fine,but Ash was worried about Misty.Until..........Misty's eyes 
opened up to beautiful aqua-blue eyes.


Misty:Ash......
Ash:Misty,you...you're awake!!


Misty got up with all her strength and hugged Ash.He hugged her back as 
he was so happy to see her awake and alive.He never wanted to let go of 
her for a minute.


Misty:...Ash....when I was asleep...I heard you say you.....loved me.
Ash:.........I did Misty.....and I meant it.
Misty:.....Ash I....I dont know what to say but......


Misty pulled from Ash's embrace.Ash thought that 'Well,I knew it,she 
doesn't love me.'But instead,Misty's lips touched his lips,meaning its a 
sign of love.Ash was exremely shocked, but quite enjoyed it.He was so 
happy just to see the one moment he has been wanting to do has finally 
happened.Misty realeased from the kiss and replied,


Misty:I love you too.More than life itself.


Ash and Misty both had tears in their eyes to know that their dream has 
finally come true.Brock and Pikachu saw this romantic moment and 
well,decided to leave them both alone.Just to enjoy a beautiful moment 
together,as they found what they were truly looking for:True Love.

_____

After all of this,Ash and Misty never left each other's side for even a 
second.They've held hands in public,they've kissed each other in 
private,they've done everything together.Brock and Pikachu were so 
amazed to see their two best friends get together forever at last.After 
Misty's beedrill problem,Ash never left her out of his sight.
