ÒBritney, Brock ItÕs so good to see you guys!Ó Sharon exclaimed as she greeted them, she then added upon seeing the small tanned boy in BrockÕs arms, ÒHello Richard! AnnaÕs been dying to see you again!Ó

ÒAÕrite Misses AnnaÕs mom.Ó Richard nodded.

Sharon laughed as she watched the small brunette, brown-eyed tan-skinned child run into her living room straight towards Anna who was playing with Amy. The two friends began to wrestle each other playfully much to AmyÕs dismay.

ÒAuntie! TheyÕre fighting!Ó Amy yelled.

ÒDonÕt worry! TheyÕll be all right? TheyÕre just playing okay?Ó Sharon exclaimed laughing a bit. She turned back to her friends and sighed. ÒArenÕt they cute together?Ó

ÒYeahÉÓ Brock agreed proudly as they sat down on SharonÕs couch. ÒMy boyÕs turning out to be just like his old man.Ó

ÒYeah, doesnÕt know how to treat the ladies.Ó Britney rolled her eyes.

ÒHey, then how do you explain where he came from?Ó Brock protested. ÒAdmit it, you fell for me the moment you laid eyes on this chick magnet!Ó

ÒAs I distinctly remember it, you fell for me the moment you laid eyes on this goddess!Ó Britney growled pointing to herself.

ÒGuys, guys, guys!Ó Damien exclaimed as he and Sharon sweat dropped. ÒCalm down.Ó

ÒLike yeah, dudes, youÕre startinÕ to scare me a just a tiny bit thereÉÓ Sharon added.

ÒSorryÉÓ Britney apologized. ÒSo howÕs everything with you two? Any chance of a boy any time soon?Ó

ÒI dunnoÉÓ Sharon grinned seductively as she snaked her arm around DamienÕs waist even lower. ÒAsk this one if he plans on giving a boy or a girlÉÓ

ÒDependsÉ I personally want a boyÉÓ Damien grinned.

ÒWell, then I say we get to work!Ó Sharon smiled cheerfully as she pressed a kiss on his neck; but before she could finish her work Damien stopped her, ÒNot in front of the kids.Ó

ÒAwwÉ YouÕre no funÉÓ Sharon pulled away from his disappointedly.

ÒThanks DamienÉÓ Britney fanned herself a bit. ÒI was starting to get in the mood tooÉÓ

ÒOoohÉ I should take advantage.Ó Brock grinned as he kissed her fingertips. ÒAfter all I want another happy kid jumping around with his brotherÉÓ

ÒNice try Brock.Ó Britney pulled her hand away. ÒBut IÕm not falling for that again.Ó

ÒKilljoy.Ó Brock pouted.

They laughed and soon began to think of other things before another couple came knocking on their door.

ÒMax Mary what are you two doing here?Ó Damien asked upon letting them in. ÒI thought you two were out of state, road trip and all!Ó

ÒI know.Ó Mary sighed as she and Max sat down worriedly. ÒBut when I called Dan, he said something that worried me. Said something bout-ÉÓ she lowered her voice so the children playing in the corner couldnÕt hear them and the adults had to lean in to hear. Ò-he and Misty breaking up.Ó

ÒWHAT?!Ó Sharon yelled, she turned to the three children who stared at her and asked sweetly. ÒKids, go upstairs to the greenhouse, CleoÕll let you play with the Pokemon.Ó

ÒOkay!Ó they all giggled enthusiastically as they bound out the door.

Sharon turned back o Mary, incredulously. ÒWhat do you mean they broke up?! Misty hadnÕt told me anything!Ó

ÒApparently it happened last night.Ó Max explained. ÒDan came home, ready to propose to her and he found her cryingÉÓ

The four friends tsked as they asked for further details from the young couple.

ÒAsh told Misty heÕd leave May for her and Misty left Dan for Ash. He told me Ash had promised to leave May but this whole past week while we were in Petalsburg, those two were banging each other everywhere!Ó Mary made a face, while Max gagged. ÒDoesnÕt look to me like AshÕs keeping his promise at all.Ó

ÒThat filthy no good rotten son of a bitch!Ó Sharon shouted suddenly she added. ÒNo offence to Mrs. Ketchum but that Ash has gone too far!Ó

ÒThatÕs unlike AshÉÓ Brock muttered.

ÒPlease, after what he did to Misty, six years ago, anything can be expected from that rat bastard.Ó Britney growled.

ÒEven so, when he left Misty-(ÒMade her leave!Ó Sharon and Britney cut in fiercely.)-he told me he never thought of getting back at her.Ó Brock explained.

ÒSo heÕs a liar!Ó Sharon yelled angrily.

ÒMaybe we should go and see whatÕs happening?Ó Damien suggested.

ÒI donÕt think so.Ó Max shook his head. ÒWe should leave them alone and wait till they come and see us.

ÒYeah well I can guess that they wonÕt come to us first, in fact theyÕll probably go with Amy, so letÕs go upstairs to the greenhouse!Ó Sharon exclaimed jumping up from the couch. ÒCÕmon!Ó

***

ÒMommy, whatÕs wrong?Ó Amy asked as Misty carried her outside the greenhouse and towards the swing set. ÒYou look like youÕre cryin!Ó

ÒOh itÕs nothing sweetheartÉ I was just reading a really sad storyÉÓ Misty wiped her eyes.

ÒOhÉÓ Amy nodded thoughtfully. ÒCan you tell me the stowy mommy?Ó

ÒYou really want to hear it even though itÕs sad?Ó

ÒThat way I can undwstand you.Ó

Misty smiled and nodded. ÒOnce upon a time a young prince and a young princess were out in the woods, traveling with a young lord of a neighboring kingdom. Now both the prince and princess loved each other but the princess had to leave back to her own kingdom once her sisters stepped down from the throne. However when she left them she meant another prince from a foreign kingdom and fell in love with him too.Ó

ÒMommy, can you name them? I get confused!Ó

ÒThe princessÕ name was Misty.Ó Dan added as he walked over to them and kneeled beside their swing. ÒAnd the prince she met was named Dan. The other prince had no name because he was so mean. The evil prince tricked Prince Dan and Princess Misty; the young lord named Brock told them about it. Now Princess Misty didnÕt know what to do. She loved the evil prince but she knew she couldnÕt, he was evil; she loved Prince Dan but she was too afraid to spend her life with himÉ She had to make a choice but who would she chose?Ó

ÒWell thatÕs easy!Ó Amy exclaimed happily. ÒShe should choose Prince Dan! HeÕs not evil and theyÕre named just like my mommy and daddy who will be together forever!Ó

She hugged her mother tightly and Misty patted her head, eyes distant as she looked down at Dan curiously.

ÒWhat do you think Misty?Ó Dan asked looking up at her.

ÒPrince DanÉÓ Misty whispered looking into his eyes.

ÒI think so too.Ó Dan smiled, he took Amy into his arms and added. ÒGo on and play with Anna and Richard.Ó

ÒOkayÉÓ Amy slipped out of her fatherÕs arms and skipped away into the green house.

Dan got up and walked behind her swing. He began to push her light as Misty sat in silence on the swing.

ÒSo Misty, how does the story end?Ó Dan asked.

ÒI donÕt knowÉÓ Misty replied wiping away a tear. ÒI havenÕt gotten there yetÉÓ

ÒWhere are you up to?Ó

ÒIÕm up to the part where Princess Misty is abut to make her second most important choice in her lifeÉ She had found Evil Prince AshÕs trick and is about to chose Prince Dan but she doesnÕt know how to tell himÉÓ Misty sighed looking up at the sky with a heavy heart.

ÒIt says, does he ever get the girlÉ?Ó Dan sang softly in her ear. ÒBut what is the pages stay pressed, the chapters unfinished, the storyÕs too dull to unfold? Does he ever get the girl?Ó

Misty closed her eyes with a small smile, as she heard him sing their song. She didnÕt know what to doÉ Should she leave Dan and AshÉ? She let tears fall as he continued his soft singing.

ÒDanÉ Ash tricked meÉÓ Misty muttered

ÒI knowÉÓ Dan nodded and upon seeing her surprise went on to explain, ÒBrock told meÉ Max and Mary told Brock, Britney, Sharon and Damien that we were breaking up and they came to stop it.Ó He pointed to the six friends that were within the greenhouse waiting anxiously. ÒThey want us back togetherÉÓ

Misty began to cry; she didnÕt know why, she just did.

ÒHe lied to me Dan! I canÕt believe heÕd do that to me! After all these yearsÉ I thought I could trust himÉÓ Misty began to sob uncontrollably. ÒWhy did he do this to meÉ?Ó

Dan bit his lip and pulled her into his arms. As she cried into his shoulder he felt an anger deep within him begin to boil the blood in his veins. He would never forgive Ash for thisÉ NeverÉ
