Italicized means what the person is thinking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May- Good luck. Misty- Thanks. Misty quietly walked down the stairs repeating the words over and over in her head. 'I'm going to this. You have to tell him Misty!' She looked into her living room, and there he was. Ash had already changed into his nightshirt and boxers. Misty blushed a little but then walked forward. Ash noticed she was there and looked up. Ash- Hey Mist. Misty- Hey. Ash-......Is there something wrong? Misty- Ummm, no. Ash- Oh, okay. Misty- I mean, YES! Yes there's something wrong! Ash- Okay, what is it? Ash sat on the couch, motioning her to sit down. She did. She began to talk. Misty- Ash... we've been friends for a long time. I...had a lot of fun, you know traveling with you. Ash- Yeah, I did too. Misty (blushes)- Um, there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to say it. Ash- ....... Misty- Ash I...lo.... Just as she was about to let her feelings out, there was a large explosion outside. Ash and Misty jumped out of their seats when they heard it. Ash- Gee, I wonder what that was. Misty (under her breath)- Yeah whatever it was it had great timing! Ash- Huh? Misty- Oh! Nothing, let's go see! They ran outside and soon enough May, Max, Brock, and Pikachu caught up with them. ???- Prepare for trouble! ???- Make it double! ???- To protect the world from devastation! ???- To unite all people within our nation! ???- To denounce the evils of truth and love! ???- To extend our reach to the stars above! ???- Jesse! ???- James! Jesse- Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light! James- Surrender now or prepare to fight! Meowth- Meowth that's right! All- Team Rocket! Jesse- Yeah twerps, that our name don't wear it out! Meowth- This time we've got something that'll surely take that Pikachu off your hands for good! Meowth pushed a button and large hands came hurtling at Pikachu (If they've used this in the show before I don't care. I couldn't think of anything else for them to use!) and trapped it in a case. Ash- Pikachu, thundershock NOW! Pikachu- Piiiikaaaachuuuuuu!!! James- Forget it twerps! Jesse- Pikachu will never be able to get himself out of that case! Meowth- It's electric proof! Team Rocket started to float away with their hot air balloo, but Ash was quick and threw out a pokeball. Ash- Swellow, I choose you! Swellow, use peck on Team Rockets balloon! Swellow flew high to catch up with the balloon and made a huge hole at the side of it. The balloon was tossed into the air and Pikachu fell safely in his trainers arms. Ash- You okay buddy? Pikachu- Pika! Ash- Great! The group went to bed happily. Misty put on her pajamas and jumped into bed. But she couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned, but couldn't find the right position. She got up and sat on her bed. She looked out her window at the beautiful bright stars that shown through it and onto her bed. The moon shined splendidly that night. She smiled as a tear trickled down her cheek. She tried to hold back the tears but they kept coming even harder and harder. She didn't know why she was crying. Nothing had happened to her. But maybe that's it. Maybe it's because she wanted something to happen, but it didn't! Just then, Togepi heard Misty crying and went over to her. He climbed into her lap and tried to give a hug but it's little arms were to short. Misty giggled and hugged it instead. It smiled, it liked seeing her happy. Misty- Oh, Togepi. You should be glad you're not a human. You don't have to go through the same kind of pain we do. Togepi (softly and kindly)- Togi? Misty- No, he doesn't know. I don't think I'll tell him. They're leaving tomorrow. Back to the gym I go. And with that Misty quickly fell asleep with her best friend on her chest. Togepi felt very warm, which comforted her and made her feel happy. Then making sure that she was asleep, so did Togepi. Brock- Breakfast everyone! Brock yelled as he set the table. Misty heard this and fell out of her bed. She was still asleep when everyone else was up, taken their showers, and combed their hair (except for Ash ^_^). She trotted downstairs. Hair a mess, pajamas still on, and teeth not brushed. She sat down in her sat and dropped her head on the table. Everyone stared at her. Ash- Uh, Misty? Are you okay? Misty- Huh? Yeah...fine...just tired...not enough sleep. Ash- Oh. (Whispering) No kidding! Misty gave Ash a glare, which everyone saw. He remembered that glare. That always came right before she took out The Mallet. He backed off and moved into Brock's seat, which was farther away from Misty. She plopped her head back on the table just as Brock brought the last plate of food. He noticed Misty and looked at Ash. He put his hands up indicating that he didn't know what was wrong and to not bother her. They ate breakfast quickly and cleaned up quietly, leaving Misty there still with her head on the table. May- Umm, Misty? Do you want some breakfast? Misty- No... thank...you. May- Oh, well okay. Brock's throwing everything out now. Are you sure? Misty- Uh huh. May took the remaining things off the table and brought them into the kitchen. When she got it someone pulled her aside. It was Brock. May- What... He covered her mouth before she could talk. Brock- Shhh! I don't want anyone to hear! May- What are you doing? Brock- Look, Misty's acting pretty strange. Ever since I've known her, she's always been about taking care of herself, especially when she wakes up in the morning. Do you know what's wrong with her? May- Why would I know? Brock- I know girls, girls talk. About everything, you two must have talked sometime right? May- Well.... Brock- What is it? May- I'm not supposed to say! Brock- Oh, come on May! You know you want to tell someone! You know what, tell me! May- No! I promised not to! Brock- Come on! May- No! Brock- Please? May- Leave me alone! Brock- May! May- FINE! ShehasacrushonAsh! There I said it! Happy now?! Brock- Huh? I didn't understand you! May (leaving the kitchen)- Too bad, I'm not saying it again. But Brock was smart her had a tape recorder in his pocket. He knew she'd do something like that. He played it over and over again until he finally understood. 'Misty likes Ash? This is too good to be true! It's perfect!' Later on that day, after Misty had freshened up, the group decided to get going. They all said their goodbyes. Misty- I'll miss you, Pikachu. Bye Brock. See ya May, thanks for the talk. Bye Max. Ash stopped in front of Misty. They stared at each other for a while. Misty- Well, I guess this is goodbye again huh Ash? Ash- Yeah... Misty- Gonna give me a hug? Ash- Yeah! Sure! Misty (letting go)- G'bye Ash. Ash- Bye... May was getting upset by the moment. She couldn't take it any longer, she had to do something. Or else Misty would never get to tell Ash how she felt about him. May- I have a great idea! Max- Oh boy, here she goes. May- Shut up Max! Anyway, why don't we let Misty come along with us?! Misty- Umm... Ash- Would ya like that Mist? Pikachu- Pika Pika Pika! Misty could see the determination in Ash's eyes. She wanted to go so badly, then thought about the gym. Misty- I can't. Who's gonna watch the gym? Ash-....... Brock- Can't you close it for a while? You hardly ever have a break. May- Yeah and it'll be great to have another girl to talk to. Max- It's someone else for her to bug! May ignored Max and ran up to Misty. May- Would you please come? Please? Misty- Uhhh... She looked at Ash and couldn't turn it down. She accepted and went right away to get her backpack. She turned the sign on the gym which read 'Closed. Be back Whenever.' May- Alright! Brock- Let's get going! She smiled as the group ran forward. She took one last look at the gym and turned around ready to walk. But something caught the corner of her eye. It was Ash. He was still standing there, smiling. Misty blushed. Misty- What? Ash- I'm glad you decided to come. Misty- Oh. I am too. Ash- It'll be just like old times. Misty (smiling and blushing)- It sure will. Far off May stopped and looked at the two. It won't be long until Misty will have to tell Ash. She smiled to herself as they two caught up with her. Misty stopped short to walk with May. Misty- I'm not gonna crack. May(acting as if she didn't understand)- What? What ever do you mean? Misty- I know why you did that. But I'm not telling him May, I've made up my mind. May- Why not? You guys look so cute together (Up ahead) Brock (to May and Misty)- Hey guys, come on! Max- Oh, great they've already started with the "Girl Talk" May- We're coming! Misty- Be right there! The girls laughed, talked, and giggled almost the whole time traveling back to Pallet. The boys, wondering what they were talking about, tried very hard to keep up with their fast talking. They soon gave up. Not Ash, he wanted to figure out what was so interesting that they had to laugh and giggle about it. Don't worry you'd soon find out! Well, that was the end of the third part. Will May's plan work? Or will Misty keep her feelings to herself? Find out Next time on Thing's I'll Never Say! (Okay that was really corny) :)
