Ash grinned. He immediately stood up from his position on the ground and closed his laptop. “Come on Brock! We’re leaving!”

Brock and Pikachu looked up from playing cards and stared at Ash in surprise. “Where are we going in such a hurry?”

Ash started to run around and get stuff together. “We’re going to Viridian.” Ash packed his tent “we’re leaving as soon as we can.”

Brock eyed Ash suspiciously. “Why?”

Ash stood up straight and stared at Brock in the eye with a mischevious look. “You’ll see.” His brown eyes almost seemed to twinkle. Brock was still uncertain, but he soon followed Ash’s orders. Pikachu just shrugged and followed everyone’s example and tried pack all the ketchup bottles he could.

~;~;

Misty sighed for what seemed the hundredth time that day. “We should be in Viridian City soon Togepi, don’t worry.”

She looked down at her Togepi. “We’ll get some good food there and nice warm bed to sleep in.”

Togepi still was unhappy. “Togepri Toge Togepriiii! ((But I want uncle Brock’s cooking!))”

Misty smiled sadly. “I know, I do to, maybe we’ll see him again sometime. Hey look!” She pointed to the large buildings ahead. “There’s viridian now!”

Togepi smiled a bit and said nothing. Misty frowned. ‘I hope Togepi will be okay. I know he misses Pikachu and Brock.’ She chuckled, ‘Even ‘daddy’’

Misty began to rock Togepi slowly and began to sing a soft lullaby to lure him to sleep. Misty smiled at her baby pokemon. She then looked up towards the city and walked towards it with determined strides. Maybe the boy she talked to online will help her forget all about Ash.

~;~;

“BROCK!” Brock stopped and slowly turned around and grinned nervously at Ash.

“Yes?”

Ash crossed his arms and glared. “Are we anywhere near Viridian?”

Brock chuckled. “Um…”

“Brock…” Ash took a step towards Brock. He held his hand out towards Brock and eyes him dangerously “GIVE ME THE MAP!”

Brock laughed nervously and quickly handed Ash the map. Ash studied it a bit muttering to himself.

He looked up suddenly and noticed Pikachu had fallen off his shoulder and was on the ground holding his sides.

“You okay Pikachu?” Ash asked. Worried, he bent down to check on his buddy.

Pikachu suddenly burst out and made a sound Ash didn’t too particularly want to hear.

“PIKAAAAAAA! (( HA HA HA HA!!!!!))”

Ash immediately stood up and looked at the map again mumbling to himself which made Pikachu laugh all the more. Ash glanced up and gave an annoyed glance at the boy in front of him who held his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing.

Ash sighed and dropped the map, crossing his hands in front of him he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Pikachu tried to stand up to explain, but all he could do was breath a bit then go right back to laughing. Brock finally regained some composure and tried his best to explain to Ash. “See *chuckle* you were never this good with the map then suddenly you really care and *snicker* are good. Would this *snort* have anything to do with Misty, or *snicker* the mystery girl you talk to online?”

Ash’s face crunched up. “I was always good with directions, I just chose not to show it.” He eyed Brock. “Maybe it was always YOU who got us lost and not me.”

Brock laughed again. Ash quickly buried his face in the map and tried his best to ignore them, mumbling to himself about Misty’s mallet being food for something.

~;~;

“I’d like a room please.” The clerk looked up from his magazine to see a girl, around the age of sixteen with orange-red hair and a small pokemon in her arms standing right there in front of him. Immediately his blue eyes began to shine and hearts appeared around his head. She was beautiful! So perfect! “Sure, I’ll give you a room, would you like mine? I”ll even give you my heart!”

Misty looked at him disgusted. “No! I would like a room for me myself and I! No one else but my pokemon!”

“okay, honey, here, room 33, third floor, I’ll come visit you! Or you can come visit me! Just seeing you will make my day like today!”

Misty just shoved the money in his lap, grabbed the key, and ran to her room as fast as she could.

Quick as she could she shut the door and breathed hard, leaning against it. “Now I know how all the girls Brock likes feel.”

She smiled down at Togepi and placed him down on the bed. “Toge togepriiii? ((Why are we at a hotel instead of the pokemon center?))”      

Misty sat down beside her pokemon. “Ash will be there when he comes.”

Togepi sighed. That’s what he was hoping. “Would you like me to let out some of your friends.”

Togepi shrugged. Misty was getting really worried. “Togepi…” She whispered. Misty sighed again and threw out three of her pokemon. “Go Psyduck, Pollywhirl, and Starmie!”

“Psy…? ((Huh…?))”

“Polly. ((Hey.))”

“Ha. ((yes?))”

“Go have some fun and play with Togpei please.” All three pokemon nodded and took Togepi off to a corner to entertain him.

Misty smiled sadly. She needed something to cheer her up. Ash would usually do that, but he wasn’t here. “Maybe Pikachulover can do it.” She started to gain a little more hope as she opened her laptop.

One new message!

Misty smiled as she read it:

To: Tentagurl@aol.com

From: Pikachulover@aol.com

Hey! That’s cool! I can’t wait to see you! How about I meet you there at say…4ish? I’ll be there for you to talk to. Who knows, maybe I am a lot like your friend. It’s just tomorrow! Can’t wait!

~Pikachulover

p.s. I’ll try to get there on time

 

Misty giggled and replied:

To: Pikachulover@aol.com

From: Tentagurl@aol.com

Neither can I! Tomorrow isn’t that far away anyway. When you read this it’ll be even closer. Wow… I feel like a giddy school girl! No offense, but I don’t even know why I’m so giddy. I can’t wait to meet his girl you like anyway. How is it going over there?

I went in this hotel and this guy reminds me of my other friend, it’s scary! He was all over me, oh good grief… that’s him knocking on my door now. Why won’t he go away!! Now I know how all the girls my friend likes feel -.-

~Tentagurl

 

Misty glanced out the window. The sun was slowly seeping over the horizon to disappear until tomorrow. She smiled. She really was looking forward to it.

A knock on her door brought her out of her trance. “Sweetie! Please! Let me at least know your name so that I may write it forever on my heart! Mine’s Shawn!”

“Go away!” She yelled at the closed door. “I’m not opening that door up!”

“Then I will sit here until you open up and realize our true love!”

“Don’t you have a job to do or something?!”

“Nope! I have today and tomorrow off! I’m not budging! I can tell you cracking!”

Misty was cracking alright. She was cracking her fist into the wall.

“Come on honey!  I’m not budging from this spot! I will keep singing love songs! I have walked down this hallway many times before, but the floor always stayed beneath my feet before…in the hallway were you staaaay!” (That’s a slightly changed song from My Fair Lady ^_~)

“OH FOR THE LOVE OF MEW!”

Chris heard some footsteps coming towards the door. He grinned like a lovesick idiot and stood up form his position on the floor.

The door swung open and Misty glared at the boy, but she wasn’t alone.

“WATER GUN!”

Out of Starmie came a current of water the flung the boy down the hall out the open window.

“I KNOW YOU DIDN’T MEAN THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

Misty smiled, the first real smiled she’d done all day and went back to her room closing the door. In her happy mood, she began to sing… “Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you’re only a day away!”

~;~;

Brock looked up from his cooking and stared at Ash. “What’s wrong with you?” Brock asked.

Ash had fallen of the stump he was sitting on and was laughing hard. He stopped for a moment and grinned at Brock. He breathed a few times to regain control over himself and tried his nest to avoid looking at Brock. Brock just shook his head and went back to stirring the soup.

Ash finally calmed down and lay down in his sleeping bag. They were almost at Viridian City, they would be there by tomorrow noon. He stared up and the stars and began singing softly to himself, “Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow…”
