***Part 19***

He certainly hoped he came back with her, arm in arm... embraced as one... He loved her and couldn't end it like this... He just couldn't...

Ash ran as fast as he could towards the dock. How could he have been so stupid as to let her go? She was his and was the one he loved... How stupid and dense could he get? He saw up ahead the stairs of the ferry rising and away into the boat.

People around Ash watched surprised as he flew past them. He couldn't let her go. He just couldn't. But he was about to - the boat was leaving... As he ran onto the dock, the ferry was leaving... leaving.. gone...

Ash dropped to his knees as he watched the ferry go. His head hung loosely as he let regret and self hatred overwhelm him... Misty was gone... He hadn't forgiven her...

"Ash?"

Ash looked up and his heart and face lit up upon seeing the beautiful face before him. he stood up and embraced Misty in a tight hug.

"I'm sorry, Misty. I never should have done this to you. I love you too. And I know I've hurt you terrible, sweetheart, but I hope you can forgive me..." Ash whispered thickly.

Misty smiled. She knew he would come back for her. he couldn't have left her alone...

"Do you know...? How long I've waited for you to call me sweetheart Ash...?" Misty murmured. "I've waited for five long years... and now... you have..."

Ash tightened his hold on her as she said those words... This was proof of how strong her love for him was... She had waited for him to respond to her love for five years and just up until now he had said it... He smiled.

He turned her face up to his and kissed her gently. Ash let his lips hover over hers for a moment as he whispered, "I'm sorry... Mist... I am so damned sorry... Can you ever forgive me for what I've done to you...?"

Misty closed her eyes tiredly. She clung to him for support as she muttered lovingly, "You've already been forgiven Ash... You don't need to ask for that..."

Ash's heart swelled at hearing her achingly tender voice. he had always been forgiven... He had just never know it...

Misty smiled as she felt Ash hug her... She had missed those adoring arms around her... And know they were back...

Their lips met and they each filled each other with love and passion that they both had desperately needed over the course of two days...

"So Mist... How come you didn't leave on the boat?" Ash asked an hour later as they headed towards The Pokemon Center.

"Because.." Misty smiled briefly holding him tightly. "I knew you wouldn't leave me..."

"Why?"

"Because you loved me so much and you've always given me everything I've ever wanted... I couldn't believe that you wouldn't do the same this time..." Misty replied.

Ash caught her in a tight embrace and whispered huskily, "And you knew I would..."

Misty nodded smiling.

"Now put me down Ash or we'll never get to The Pokemon Center..." Misty ordered. "We've left Tracey, Brock and Pikachu alone enough already. C'mon."

With a reluctant sigh, Ash did so but not without kissing her lightly. She might never admit it but Misty liked it when they were alone.... And so did he..."
