“Dan? Misty…?” a voice asked.

Misty and Dan looked up, surprised at who was standing before them.

“May? Ash…?” Misty asked uncertainly.

**Twenty minutes before**

“Wow! Just look at the view from up here!” May exclaimed.

“Yeah…” Ash muttered.

“Oh Ash! What’s wrong with you? You look so sad…”

“I’m just tired May…” Ash murmured.

May looked at ash with a frown. She knew exactly what was bothering him… both she and Ash had tried to throw a Christmas Party at their house in L.A. only to find that almost all of their friends had already been invited to Misty’s and Dan’s Annual Christmas Bash here in New York and they had all accepted. So with nothing to do, they had come to New York with Max and Mary, just to accompany them…

They had not been invited, although both were expected to have been invited, after all, Dan had invited all the Pokemon Masters and Coordinators and even a few Pokemon breeders. They wished to attend just so they could have something to do on Christmas Eve… They had bought a present for every single one of their friends including Dan and Misty, something they had never done until now.

Sighing she tried to recall the day they had met Misty and Dan again. Sharon and Ash were battling in the Central Park Pokemon Tournament Challenge, trying to see who would be the grand winner when Ash lost to her. Dan, Misty and Damien had gone to congratulate Sharon when Ash went over, only to see Misty there. They had talked a while before she had come over, May had seen how pale se looked and vaguely wondered if she had a disease.

That was around the time when Misty fainted in Ash’s arms. Panicking, may called an ambulance where Ash accompanied Misty while May took Dan, Sharon, Damien, Max, and Mary in the limo to the hospital. Once finding Ash there they had asked what had happened, and of course Ash answered in a tone that wasn’t agreeable to anyone, saying that she looked sick before she fainted and thought maybe she had caught something…

“The flu… a cold… maybe an STD…” Ash had explained greasily.

The last comment had obviously angered Dan and everyone else, but Dan was the only one to respond, for the next thing she knew Dan had punched Ash on the nose. Shaking her head, May had taken Ash home, Mary and Max following. Of course she had apologized at first…

May shook her head at the memory. How on earth Ash had done that, she’d never know…

Ash sighed, keeping his hands in his pockets. He was clearly remembering how Misty had been unconscious in the ambulance. He had felt sorry for her, of course, but nothing more. He couldn’t feel anything else… not after what she had done to him before…

He looked down at the bottom of the hill and saw an empty water fountain. Smiling he remembered how Misty had always loved the water. Vaguely he wondered whether she still did.

“C’mon let’s go see the water fountain.” Ash suggested. “Nothing much to do here.”

“All right honey.” May replied brightly.

******

“Oh please tell me what the present is!” Misty whined longingly.

“No, it’s a surprise.” Dan grinned.

“But I wanna know!”

“You’ll know at the party.”

Misty frowned and pouted. Laughing Dan shook his head. Even after all these years she still acted liked if she were twelve…

“I love you Misty.” Dan whispered.

“So do I but I really want to know what the present is.” Misty smiled sweetly.

******

Ash and May walked down the hill, talking happily, they laughed and giggled together. Even after all these years he could still talk to her with ease, without having to worry about an overlarge mallet.

Suddenly May stopped short, staring straight ahead of her in shock. Ash looked straight ahead and felt his heart skip a beat.

“Dan? Misty…?” Ash asked.

Misty and Dan looked up surprised at who was standing before them.

“May? Ash…?” Misty asked uncertainly.
