A Thousand Miles

 

 

Disclaimer: You know, this is kind of pointless. We all know that none of us own pokemon or any of the songs there are in our fics, but we still insist on doing it. Think about it. As long as it is non-profit, meaning we get no money for posting these fics, they can’t do anything about it. It’s in the copyright laws. And even if they tried to sue, I have no money. (Although I have a get rich quick scheme in the works… (^_^) But I don’t own pokemon or the song A Thousand Miles. Vanessa Carlton does. She sings it.

 

Song lyrics are in italics.

Misty started to get up from the sofa she was laying one. The track on her “Be Not Nobody” CD was changing to number three. Her favourite, but also the one she hated most. Hated it because it reminded her of how far away Ash was. Loved it because she related to it so well. Besides, she was a sucker for romance.

 

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you… tonight.

 

 

Hugging her Teddiursa doll she never would have admitted she owned if confronted about it, tears started falling.

 

 

It’s always times like these

When I think of you

And wonder if you ever think of me

 

 

“Oh, Ash…”

 

 

Cause everything’s so wrong

And I don’t belong

Livin’ in your precious memory

 

 

“Why’d you have to leave?”

 

 

Cause I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

 

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you… tonight.

 

 

“I wish I’d told you before…” she sobbed, clutching the “teddi bear” closer.

 

 

And I, I don’t want to let you know

I, I drown in your memory

I, I don’t want to let this go

I, I don’t…

 

 

“I love you, Ash…” she whispered into Teddiursa’s plushieness.

“You do?” asked a boy’s voice, coming from the doorway. Immediately Misty dropped the teddi bear and whirled around.

“A-Ash?”

“I came back. I missed you too much. I… I l-love you too.” Misty was rendered speechless for a moment. All of her dreams… come true! Maybe this was a dream. But deep down, she knew that this wasn’t the same as all those nighttime fantasies. This was real.

Next thing, she was hugging Ash as if the world was going to end.

“Myst… I can’t… breathe!” he choked laughingly. She loosened her grip.

“Sorry…” she started, but Ash interrupted her, placing his finger on her lips.

“Shhh…” he whispered, leaning forward and moving his finger away. Misty leaned in too, and they slowly grew closer, until they were millimetres apart.

As their lips met, Misty felt a pleasant chill race up her spine. All the red-headed teenager knew was that things were perfect. And always would be.

Do you like? Hate? Not care? Anything’s welcome, even:  “…”

Yeah, I’m desperate. Sad, huh?

Well, I’m doing the lights at my school talent show, so I need to get ready. That’s me, behind-the-scenes girl. Anyway,

Yeah…

I’ll try to post something else soon.
