Part 1

------------------------------------
Ash was asleep in his bed. The blanket was completely covering his body. He was snoring softly. He rolled over on his side, accidentally kicking his girlfriend's Togetic off the bed. When the Togetic landed on the ground he woke up angry. He flew up on the bed, looking at Ash with an angry look on his face. Without warning, Togetic started up his Metronome attack which made a Thunderbolt. It shocked Ash waking him up right away. He sprung out of bed when the attack disappeared.
"What the hell happened?!" he yelled out, not knowing what had happened.
Togetic, very happy at what he did, he curled back on the foot of the bed to fall back asleep.
Ash yawned and looked to his side. He noticed his girlfriend wasn't there.
"Misty?" asks Ash looking around the room.
He saw a note on his dresser next to him. He picked it up to read it. It said...

Ash~
Went to see my sisters, be back in a couple hours. I left at 9:30.
Love, Misty

Ash laid the note back down and glanced over at the clock on the dresser on the other side of the bed. He saw it was 10:30. Misty would be home about an hour. Ash got out of the bed, still yawning. He was wearing a pair of dark green boxers and a white shirt. He walked in the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. When he was done, he came back out wearing his blue jeans and black T-shirt. Ash was nineteen years old at the moment. He lived with his girlfriend, Misty. Ash and Misty have been living together for a year in a couple of months. Today was the anniversary of when she first moved in. Actually, Misty didn't really wanna move in. She couldn't afford to live in her old apartment so she stayed with her boyfriend until she could find a place to live. At first Misty only wanted to find a place of her own, but when she couldn't find one, Ash invited her to stay and she accepted. The only problem is that Ash's mother really wants them to get married right away. Everytime she comes over, calls them or even send a letter, she asks, "Are you and Misty getting married yet?" Ash was thinking about it, but he didn't know if he was ready or not. According to his friends, Tracey and Brock he had the getting along with them and living with them for a while part done, but Ash just didn't know if he's ready to marry her. Although he has fallen in love with her, still, he's only nineteen. Misty, on the other hand wants to get married. Another thing that they don't have in common is having a baby. Ash wants to have a baby with Misty. He thinks he's ready for that. But, Misty says there is no way that he is ready to have a child and either is she. As you can see, these two don't have it easy. They try to convince the other one to do what they want but the other one isn't ready.

At Cerulean City, Misty and her sisters were busy buying some stuff. Misty was wearing a short, pale yellow tight dress. It had spaghetti straps supporting the dress up. Her shoulder length red hair hung over her shoulders. She wasn't wearing any make-up at the moment. She wanted to get out of the house right away so Ash wouldn't wake up. Her aqua eyes were very bright in the mall. Her sisters were like Ash's Mom, always asking if her and Ash are getting married soon. Misty always gets a sad look on her face before she says no. Her sisters went into the toy store to get something for Daisy's daughter, Hannah and Violet's son, Bart. Lily went along with them, saying her and her boyfriend are thinking about a child soon. Misty sat on a bench and watched them. She thought about the times Ash asked her about having a child. He always does the same thing too, when they're doing it he tries to take her pants off. Before he can Misty stops him. He asks her, if she wants to have a child, but he always gets a no. Ash gets off the subject and they go back to the fun. Misty deep down really wanted to have children with Ash, she just was worried that when she did get pregnant they'll fight and they'll break up forever. Leaving poor Misty forever haunted with the memory of Ash, because she'll be stuck raising his child. That's why she wanted to get married first then think about kids. Misty deeply sighed and put her hands on her head.

"Why can't things be easy for me?" she asks to herself quietly.

Ash went to his mom's house, to try and think of a good present to give Misty as a anniversary present. When he got there, she asked the same question she always asked, and she got the same no. Ash sat down on the couch, his mother sat on the chair.
"What do you think I should give Misty as a anniversary present?" asks Ash.
"I got a better idea, why don't you ask her to marry you and give her a very nice ring," suggested his Mom.
"Mom, I've told you this a million times, I'm not ready to get married," said Ash.
"But, you're old enough to keep asking her to make a baby with you. Why don't you marry her first?" asks his Mom, looking at her son.
"Because, if we get married then she can divorce me, but if we have a baby together first, then she won't want to leave, knowing we gotta stay together to care for the baby. Besides, ever since dad disappeared I wanted to have a son of my own" said Ash.
"What makes you so sure if you have a baby it'll be a boy?" asks his Mom.
"Because, I really wanna have a boy" said Ash.
"What if you have a girl?" asks his Mom.
"I'll still love her.....then in a couple of years I'll try again" said Ash.
His mother deeply sighed. He got up and went outside to check on Mr.Mimie. Ash laid down on the couch thinking, about many things, mostly about the idea of marrying Misty. He was in love with her, but he wasn't ready. He remembered all of the times she asks him if they can get married. The same thing happens most of the time. Sometimes she makes a fancy dinner and during the dinner she'll say she wants to marry me, but I say no. Then they continue eating. Or maybe she'll set Ash up for some bed fun. Then before they get too wild she'll asks if they can get married. Ash will say he isn't ready then they get it on.
Ash turned around and sank his head in the pillow.
"Will I ever know what to do?" he asks himself.

Well, do you like Part 1, I'll post Part 2 eventually. This is my first AAMRN, so bare with me. I think I made it clear that Ash and Misty are both confused at the moment.
