It Can’t Be True
Pikachu
Part 7
Thursday August 11, 2005

	Misty still stared at the figure that had just crashed through the 
hospital door. Outside they could see flashes of light and more rumbles but that 
did not matter in the slightest. Misty jumped off of her stretcher but 
collapsed. She was still weak from blood loss. She crawled over to the body.

	“Ash? Is that you?” She asked hopefully. Everything seemed momentarily 
frozen. Misty rolled the body over and screamed.

	“It is Ash!” Daisy yelled. Lilly and Violet were stunned.

	“But…how?” Lily asked.

	“I thought she was dead!” Violet exclaimed. Misty however was not 
listening. She was busy trying to revive Ash. She was slapping his face in an 
attempt to wake him up. Finally it seemed as if he was stirring.

	“Ash will you wake up already??!!” Misty shouted, still slapping his face. 
Ash groaned and sat up, rubbing his head.

	“That was quite a blow you took Ash.” Daisy said quietly. It was true. His 
face had cuts everywhere that the glass had cut him. His army cloths were ripped 
and torn where they had caught on the door frame and his forehead had a slight 
trickle of blood running down it. He looked slightly confused.

	“What? Misty? What’s going on? Where am I? How did I get here?” He 
stammered. Misty smiled at him.

	“You’re at the hospital. As to how you got here, just look at the front 
door. That should tell you.” Misty explained. Ash seemed to understand that he 
had flown through the door but he also caught sight of Misty’s bandaged wrists.

	“Misty, what happened to you?!” Looking at her wrists in horror. Misty 
looked a little nervous.

	“Oh. Well…you see I…” Misty stammered. Lily rolled her eyes.

	“She tried to kill herself because she thought you were dead.” Lily said 
simply. Ash seemed horrified and looked as though he would pass out again.

	“Who told you I had died?” Ash asked weakly. Misty shrugged.

	“Your mom wouldn’t say. She was extremely upset at the time. Can’t imagine 
why.” Misty told him. Ash snorted.

	“They probably got me mixed up with my cousin Lee. We look a lot alike so 
maybe it was just a misunderstanding.” Ash said simply. Misty looked taken 
aback.

	“I didn’t know you had a cousin. How come I’ve never met him?” Misty 
asked. Ash shrugged. All of the sudden they heard a scream of joy and Ash’s mom 
ran into view in tears of happiness. She seized him from the floor and hugged 
him as hard as she could. Ash’s face turned slightly pink.

	“Ash! You’re alive! Thank God! You have no idea how hysterical I’ve been. 
I thought I lost you!” she screamed as she hugged him, crying her eyes out. Ash 
awkwardly patted her back.

	“Well, I’m alive as you can see.” He said simply. Ash’s mom wiped her eyes 
and smiled at him.

	“I need to tell the others here! Oh they’ll be so happy!” She exclaimed. 
With that she ran off. Misty tugged on Ash’s leg and he bent over onto the 
ground.

	“Ash. I need to tell you something.” She muttered. Ash looked confused but 
remained silent. Misty took a deep breath.

	“I love you.” She said with emotion. Ash did not look stunned or shocked 
or revolted. In fact, he smiled.

	“At least one of us had enough guts to tell the other.” He said with a 
laugh. Slowly, they leaned in and kissed. Daisy, Lily, and Violet had the 
decency to look the other way. Thought the end was here? Think again. Right in 
the middle of their happy reunion, another blast sounded, shaking them back to 
reality. With a thrill of horror, they heard a cracking noise above them.

	“What now??!!” Lily exclaimed hysterically but Misty had seen it. Great 
cracks were appearing in the ceiling and dust was raining down on them.

	“The ceiling’s going to collapse!” Misty shouted.
