Misty sat alone in her darkened room. She couldn’t sleep. She hadn’t been 
able to get a full nights rest ever since she left Ash and Brock to come back
home. She kept wondering how they were doing with out her. Had they
found someone else to travel with–had Ash found someone else? She hadn’t
heard from them lately. Did they forget about her? About everything they
had been through? 

Tears ran down her face as her thoughts wondered to Ash. She felt sick to
her stomach remembering saying good-bye. She meant to tell him. She
swore to herself to tell him everything before she ever had to leave his side.
So why didn’t she? What was the point to blurt out everything that she had
kept buried deep inside her right before she left? He probably wouldn’t
except it and she would accomplish nothing. But still....Wouldn’t it be better
than keeping it all to herself? Wouldn’t it be better than leaving it to eat
away at her soul?

Confused thoughts raced through her mind as she lay back down in her bed.
Tears still streaming down her face, she clutched her only picture of Ash in
one hand. The other hand was placed close to her heart and held the letter
the picture came in. It was the first and only letter she had received from
Ash. The first line read: “To Mist, my best friend. I’m going to miss you,
now that you’re gone. Don’t forget me...”

Misty cried herself to sleep again that night, knowing deep in her heart that
she would never see Ash again.

That night Ash was hit by a drunk driver and died. In his hand was a letter
addressed to Misty. The first line read: “To Mist. I love you. I never got a
chance to tell you, so please forgive me...”

Misty never received his letter and with word of his death she could take no
more. Grief-stricken, she drowned herself in the Cerulean City Gym’s pool
after whispering what she could never say to his face. “I love you...”

Now two souls, plagued with unfinished business, strive to find each other
somewhere beyond this chaotic world.
