    “What am I gonna do?”  Misty sighed as she covered her face and fell back
on her bed.  Just then the phone rang.  “Hey, how’s it going?” she said
trying to be happy.  “No, really, I’m ok.  No, I’m sorry, I can’t make it
tonight.  Yeah, alright, bye!”  She couldn’t go to Duplica’s  party.  How
could she?  Duplica was going out with Ash.  Even the thought of those two
together broke her heart.  How could she stand seeing them hugging and
kissing all night?

    Duplica came to cheer Ash on when he fought his final battle for the title
of Pokemon Grand Master.  After Ash won, Duplica ran up to Ash and kissed
him on the cheek to congratulate him.  Then she proceeded to ask him out to
dinner that night.  It was pretty much a blur after that.  They were now a
couple and there was nothing Misty could do about it.

    That’s how she felt anyway.  Misty was still in love with Ash. She had
loved him for a while now.  She loved all of him, from his spiky black hair
and his favorite Pokemon League hat to his great personality and how cute he
was when he played with Pikachu. She only picked fights and made fun of him
to hide her feelings.  She kicked herself being such a great actress that he
actually believed her.  She was supposed to be the one who congratulated him
after his big win, she was supposed to be the one in his arms, but it was
too late for that now.

    She sighed again and pulled a blue shirt and a pair of faded jeans out of
the closet and changed.  She picked up the phone.  “Hey Suzie, are you busy?
Want to go out for a cup of coffee? Ok, great, I’ll meet you there in
fifteen minutes.”  She grabbed her keys, put on her sunglasses and hopped
into her silver Porsche convertible.  She wasn’t doing that bad either.  She
was Water Pokemon Master and it wasn’t like she wasn’t asked out by a lot of
guys, but she didn’t love them.  She loved Ash.  She pulled out of her
driveway and turned on the radio.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have a dreams of you
So I wait for the day
And the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do!

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Corazón
I can't stop dreaming of you
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
I can't stop dreaming
Cómo te necesito
I can't stop dreaming of you
Mi amor, cómo te extraño

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said "I love you"
I love you too!

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly

Dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Endlessly
And I'll be holding you tight
Dreaming...with you...tonight!

    “Great....even the radio is mocking me...too bad my story doesn‘t end like
that.”  She pulled up to Starbucks, parked her car and turned off the radio.

    “Hey, Suzie” said Misty as she got in line and ordered Frappachino.

    “How are you Misty?”  replied Suzie with a smile.

    “You know very well how I am,” Misty sighed.  They sat down in the corner
of the coffee house.

    “Well, if it makes you feel any better, I don’t think they really love each
other,” reassured Suzie. “Err, actually I don’t thin SHE loves him.  She’s
just trying to get famous by having connections because of him. All she
wants is the status.”

    “I kinda figured that out, Suzie.”

    “When?” Suzie asked. “How?”

    “She told me,” Misty said. “I thought she was joking but now it’s all
pretty clear that it’s true.”

    “So since you know that, why don’t you tell Ash how you really feel?” Suzie
asked. “I mean you can’t go on like this anymore, it’s killing you!”

    “I can’t, I don’t want Duplica to hate me.  I don’t want to be the one who
broke them up.  He’s so happy now.”

    “But how long have you loved him? No matter what he did, you’d still love
him right? No matter how stupid he acts sometimes? You’d still love him?”

    “Yeah,” Misty sighed as she slumped back in her chair.  “I can’t, I won’t. 
If he really loves me, then it will all work out, if not, then, I wish them
a lifetime of happiness.”

    “Hey,” Suzie said as she sipped her coffee, “It’s your choice.  Whatever
you do, don’t forget, I’m here for you.”

    “Thanks.”

  Misty walked around the rest of the day pretty much out of it.  She had
been thinking what would happen if she had said something before.  What if
it was her who congratulated Ash instead of Duplica? Would she make him as
happy as he was now?  She was just so confused.  She went home and went for
a swim in her Olympic size pool.  She did a swan dive into the pool.  When
she surfaced, she realized that it was one day before hers and Ash’s
anniversary.  The one of their meeting that is.  She still remembered that
day with vivid detail.

    *He probably doesn’t even remember* She thought.

    “Misty,” a voice called.....
