Things I'll Never Say (Part 2) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ash- Whoa. Girl- Can I help you… The girl's voice faded as she laid her eyes upon Ash. When Pikachu heard her voice, he jumped up from behind Ash to greet her. Pikachu- Pika Pikachu! She smiled softly. Then she looked towards Ash again and her eyes grew wide. Girl- Oh, Ash it's really you! It's so good to see you! She gave him a big hug, which lasted a while. Ash- It's good to see you to…Misty. Ash hugged her back. Brock was getting restless. Brock-HEY! Can't you give up hugging the Master to give me a hug? Misty- Brock, hi! Misty ran over to Brock and hugged him also. May- Ahem! Ash- Huh? Oh, Misty this is May and her brother Max. Their father is a gym leader in Hoenn. Misty- Hi! Nice to meet ya! Well, where are you guys headed to? Ash- I decided to take a trip back home to see mom. This master stuff is a lot of work! Misty- I can hardly imagine it. Just then a few raindrops started to fall, then came more, and then a lot more! Soon, they found themselves caught in a thunderstom! Brock- Uh oh! Ash we'd better hurry up and get to that Pokemon Center before, we get soaked. Ash- Oh, okay. See ya Misty! Misty heard this and decided that she shouldn't make them walk all the way to the Pokemon Center. Misty- Hey guys! You can stay here if you want! There's plenty of room! May- Oh really? Can we stay Ash, please? Max- Yeah, can we? Ash thought for a while. He felt sort of weird seeing Misty after all these years. And he couldn't think of imposing. Until something Misty said caught his attention. Misty- I have lots of food and snacks! Ash- Let's go guys! Ash ran inside, not knowing he was the only one there. He turned around embarrassed. Ash- Ummm, you guys comin'? Misty- Same old Ash. Brock- Yep. They stepped inside. Ash, May, Max, and Misty sat on the couch in her living room. While Brock raided the kitchen for something to cook. Brock- Wow Misty! You got a lot of things here! I mean there are spices, herbs, seasoning and tons of other things! Misty- I know. I don't cook anyway. I usually just go out to eat. But when my sisters come over, they cook for me. They always tell me I should learn. I case I ever decide to start a family. Brock- Where are your sisters anyway? Misty- They all live together in this big house outside of Cerulean city. They invited me to live with them, but I couldn't even think about the torture they'd put me through. Having three sisters is terrible! Max- I know how ya feel. When you have May for a sister it's worse than having three sisters! May gave Max an "I'm gonna hurt you" look. Max cringed at what his sister might do to him. Brock- Dinner's ready! Misty- Wow that was fast! Brock- I hope you enjoy it! (About a half-hour later) Misty- Brock, that was delicious. Ash- Yeah, I'm full. Max- Me too! Brock- Thanks guys. Everyone dropped down on the couch. Then Misty realized that she had to start getting things ready for bed. Misty- Umm, I think I'll go get blankets and pillows for you guys. May- Oh that's okay Misty. We can use our sleeping bags. Misty- Are you sure? Ash- Yeah, sure! Misty- Oh, well okay. It was about 11:00 and no one could sleep. Misty was upstairs in her room tidying up when she heard May scream. Misty ran out her room and looked over the balcony. May- Ahhh! Pikachu that tickles! Ash- Hey, get off of her Pikachu. Max- No Ash! Let him tickle her! Brock- Get her Pickachu! Misty stood by her doorway, listening to her friends. She slid down to the floor. Just then Togepi (who still hasn't evolved) came to her. Togepi- Togi Preee!!! Misty- Hey Togepi. Listen. Don't they sound happy to you? Maybe a little too happy? Togepi- Togi? Misty- Yeah, Ash and May. Who am I kidding? I haven't seen Ash in about three years. Of course he'll have his own special someone by now! Togepi- Togi Togi Pree? Misty- No. I can't tell him. I not prepared. When I used to travel with him, I practiced every day. But as we grew apart, I stopped practicing. It's not my fault! How was I supposed to know he'll just arrive at my house one random day? Togepi- Togi Preee!!!! Misty- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I'm just frustrated with myself because I know I could've told him years ago. I'm so stupid! Togi- Togi. Misty- Thanks Togepi. You're a real friend. (Downstairs) Ash got a hold of Pikachu and May decided that it was a good time to take a shower. She was so happy. She hadn't used a real good bathtub since she started traveling with Ash. When she was done she passed Misty's door. Misty was singing. But to her surprise, Misty opened the door and startled May. Misty just looked at her. May- Umm, I just finished taking a shower. I umm was just passing by your door, and umm I heard you singing. Misty(blushing)- You…you did? May- Yeah, but you sound great! Misty- Thanks…I guess. May stood there for a while as Misty turned back into her room. It was quiet. May-Misty? Is…is something wrong? Misty(teary-eyed)- No… May- Are you sure? Misty-… May-If you want to talk, I'm here. I know you can't talk to those boys. I sure can't. Misty motioned May to come inside. They both sat on the bed. May- So… Misty-… May- Okay, I know it's hard to start a conversation with someone you hardly know. So I'll guess something and you nod if it's what you want to talk about. Misty-Okay. May- Pokemon (Misty shook her head). Family (Misty shook her head). Okay, friends (misty stopped and shook her head slowly). Good. Now, Far away friends (Misty shook her head). Close friends (Misty nodded). Let's see I'll name the ones I know. Misty- Okay. May- Brock (Misty shook her head). Ash (Misty grew very silent and looked up at May). It's Ash?! Misty- Uh huh. May- What's wrong with him?! Misty- Nothing! It's just that…I…promise me you won't tell anyone! May- I promise! Misty- Well, it all started when I first met him. I fished him out of a pond near Pallet, and he decided to steal my bike. His Pikachu was hurt, so I give him points for that. But then he wrecked it. I traveled with him for about three years, hoping that one day he'd finally pay me back for my bike. But that soon wasn't the case anymore. We became best friends. We knew each other longer than we know Brock. But, we'd start to argue a lot. Mostly because of my bad attitude, but we'd still stick together. One time, when the world was in Ash's hands, I realized the truth. It came to me from this girl, Melody. She made me realize that, that I…I have feelings for Ash. Greater than he's my best friend feelings. Heck, I might even love him! I tried all those years to tell him. But he was a dense little 13 year old. There was no way he'd have the same feelings for me! Then I see you guys today, you look like such great friends. May- We are good friends Misty. But I don't think that anyone could take the place that he has for you in his heart. Misty- You think? May- I'm not supposed to know this, but I kinda overheard Ash and Brock talking on our way here. They were pretty secretive about it, but I still heard. They were talking about you, or at least I think they were. Misty (surprised)- They were? What did they say?! May- Well, Ash was saying something like he never got chance to say how he felt about this person and he was worried that they won't remember him. Misty could feel her heart beat faster. Misty- Thanks May! That makes me feel so much better! I think I'm going to tell him tonight! May- Why tonight? Misty- Because I might lose my courage by morning! May- Oh, okay. I'll go get him. And Misty? Misty- Yeah? May- Good luck. Misty- Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well that's the end of my second part. I don't think this was really that good. I hope you liked it though, I liked writing it!
