Getting Back to Where I Belong Part 3 By Finaille Nailo Oh my gosh, I cannot believe this! I'm actually going on a date with Matt, I'm so nervous! Do I look all right? No, I have this really evil pimple; he's totally going to see it, no! "Rennie," My mom yells, "Your date is here!" Great, I still look like crap. I'll just brush through my hair really quick; maybe it'll work. "COMING!" I yell down to her. I grab my brush and try one last attempt to make my hair look decent. I grab my purse, and run downstairs to find Matt kindly talking to my mom. "Hey!" Matt says as he spots me. "You look nice." He didn't notice the pimple! Maybe I was worrying a little too much. "Thank you." I say with a small blush. "Ready to go?" He asks. I nod. "Hey Mom, where's dad?" I ask. She ignores me. "Bye, Rennie. You have a nice time and Matt, bring Rennie home as soon as the movie's over; we have some relatives coming over..." My mom says somewhat solemnly. I stare at her; a bit confused. Matt smiles at me. "Come on, let's go." We both walk out of my house and get into his car. "I'm so jealous that you can drive, I don't even have my permit yet." I tell him. He laughs a little. "Hey, you'll drive eventually." He says with a grin. I blush again. "Hey, what movie are we gonna see?" I ask. "Um, we could go see the new Matrix movie." He suggests. I grin. "I've wanted to see that. It looks really good." "Remember when we saw the second one at the church party? That was really fun." He says, himself now blushing. I remember that night; we were cuddling while we were watching that movie. "Yeah, I remember. It was a good movie, much better than the first. I hope this one's even better." "Yeah, I agree." He says, looking at me. "Ren, I really like you." "You, um, do?" I turned bright crimson. "Yeah." He gave me a disappointed look. "I like you too." I say as calmly as I can. As we pull up to a red light, he looks at me really sweetly and takes my hand. "Do you think you'd, um, want to go out with me?" He asks shyly. OH MY GOSH! MATT JUST ASKED ME OUT! "I'd love to." I say with a smile. The other lights turn yellow, and he gives me a swift kiss on the cheek. The light turns green, and we start going again. "I was so worried about you when you were in the hospital." Matt says quietly. "By the way, what happened?" I panic just a little. "Oh um, nothing too serious, you know, seizure got me in a coma." I say, lying through my teeth. "Oh, so they figured out what happened?" He asks. "Huh?" "The doctors said they couldn't figure out what happened to you." He says. I panic even more. "Oh, right, well, they couldn't figure out where the seizure came from." I say, lying to the best of my ability. "Ahh, I see. Well, I hope they can figure out what happened." Matt says hopefully. "I don't want you dying on me." "I'm not gonna die." I say truthfully. "If I told you what really happened, would you believe me?" "Yeah, of course." He looks at me. It's silent for a brief moment. "Well, I was knocked out by electricity and I was sent to the future. I couldn't get back though, that's why I was in the "coma" for so long. You believe me?" "Of course, a girl like you wouldn't lie about something like that." He replies. "You do?" "Yeah." He grins at me. "That's a first. My mom is sending me to the psych ward because of that." I say with a small laugh. "Are you serious?" "Yeah, she thinks I busted something during my "coma"." We both laugh for a little while. "I'm glad someone believes me. Just, don't tell anyone, ok?" "I promise." He says as we pull into the movie theatre parking lot. We get out of his car, and as we walk into the building, he takes my hand. I look at him; he looks at me and we both smile at each other. We get our tickets, get popcorn and pop, and get into the movie. We cuddle in the seats and talk a little before the movie starts. "This is the first time I've been to a movie with a girl." He tells me. I smile. "You're kidding, right? You're such a cute guy; girls should be all over you." I convince him. He laughs. "I wish." He hugs me tightly. I lean over to kiss him on the cheek as the lights dim and the movie starts. We are both totally hooked in the movie, which was so good. At the end, I was crying because it was so sad. Matt looked and me and tilted my chin up. He leaned towards me and kisses me. It's quick, and after he breaks the kiss he smiles and me. I smile back. We cuddle more, and about five minutes later the movie ends. We walk out of the movie theatre. "I had a lot of fun." I say, as he takes my hand. He smiles and kisses me again. "I did too. I'm glad we got to do this." ************************************************************************ Misty is sitting on the top of a bunk bed. Jen and Michael are below them, talking about the latest Pokemon styles. A knock is heard at the door. Jen goes to answer it. "Oh, hi Ash!" She says as Ash walks in the room. Misty looks up from her book as Ash walks over to her bunk. "Hey Misty, can we talk?" He asks, as he climbs on her bed. "Yeah, sure, what's up?" She had a bit of a concerned look on her face. "Um, it's about earlier tonight." "Ok..." "Misty, I really like you and all, but, I don't know if I should have kissed you. I mean, with me still being with Rennie and all." He says, scratching the back of his head. "I really want to be with you, but I think I should wait until I break it off with Rennie. You understand, right?" "Yeah, I totally agree. It's the right thing to do anyways." Misty replies to his problem. "Really? That's great, I was so afraid you might disagree." Ash says with a sigh of relief. Misty takes his hand in hers, and she smiles. "I'd never imagine you'd still want to be with me after what happened all that time ago." Misty says with a slight smile. "Why not? I mean, it was an accident." Ash points out. Misty shrugs. "I don't see why that would get in the way of our relationship." "Well, what if Rennie never comes back? Hmm?" "Ooh, I don't think I've ever thought of what I'd do then. I think if she doesn't come back in a month or two, she's not coming back at all. Hey Misty, do you think she even remembers coming here? Or was she just a figment of our imagination? You know, a person made to make me happy once again, and once her purpose was fulfilled she could go back?" "Wow, I think you think too much." Misty says with a small giggle. "I'm sure we'll find out what's happening soon enough." "Yeah, I agree." They both smile at each other. ************************************************************************ "Ok, well, we're at your house." Matt says to me, sounding a little disappointed. "Hey, I wonder why there are so many cars at my house?" I wonder, seeing all the cars pulled up in and around my driveway. "Was there something going on? I remember your mom saying something about relatives coming over." Matt reminds her. "Oh yeah, but why? I mean, it's not mine or my sister's birthday, or even my parents." I tell Matt. "I'm sure I'll figure it out soon." "Well, I'll see you at school on Monday." He kisses me as I get out of the car. "Bye Ren!" "Bye Matt." I wave and his car pulls away. I walk in the house, and my mom is already at the front. I notice she's crying. "Hey Mom, what's up?" "Dad, he died in a car accident this morning." She says, a little too calmly. "WHAT?!" I scream. I run into my room in tears. I don't know what to do, I have to see Ash! I run to my TV in a frenzy, trying to knock the power out, hoping I can get into the Pokemon world. Nothing works. "Why, why did this have to happen?" I whispered to myself. I sit on my bed and sob quietly. ************************************************************************ "WAHHH!!!" Ash screams, waking up in a sudden jolt. Brock and Michael wake up startled. "Ash! What's wrong?" Brock says, sitting up in his bed. "Rennie, I just had a dream something bad happened to her." He says breathlessly. "What happened?" Michael asks curiously. "Her father died, and she wanted to come back. I must miss her or something." He says quietly. "You don't think it means anything, do you?" Brock asks. "Why would it? The really scary thing is it wasn't the Rennie I knew, it was the Rennie from her time." Ash says. "Wow, that is really strange." Michael tells Ash. "I wish she was here right now, telling me everything was ok. I'm going really paranoid right now." Ash says to the guys, putting a tired hand on her forehead. "I'm sure things will be ok." Brock assures Ash. "I just hope Rennie IS ok, and nothing bad is happening. I've never had a dream like that before." "Ash, chill out! She will be fine!" Brock says. "Now go back to sleep, I'm sure some sleep will do us all much better." "Yeah, I'm sure your right, but will Rennie be ok?" "Yes!" "Ok, um, thanks you guys." Ash whispers, climbing under the covers. "Goodnight." A/N- Ok, Brock is getting pretty annoyed with the Ash/Misty/Rennie deal. Please review! I hope you all like this so far!
