Hey everyone! This is the next phase of my revision process. I hope this will be 
better. Enjoy!

	Misty was living with her sisters at the present time because she had yet 
to find a place of her own. Misty was 18 and so was Ash, who already had his own 
place. School was finally over with but Misty and Ash were looking forward to 
going to the Pallet Town College that fall. Still, it was a time of unease since 
the U.S. was currently waging war with Germany. No one was really certain what 
started the whole thing. All anyone knew was that the war had broken out about a 
year ago with no end in sight. Meanwhile upstairs, Misty was folding her cloths 
and putting them neatly in the dresser when someone knocked.

	“Come in” Misty said. Daisy, on of Misty’s older sisters used to be in 
charge of the Cerulean City Gym before they grew quite bored with it after 10 
years. Now they resided in the peace of Pallet Town. Daisy walked over to Misty 
and sat down on her bed.

	“Misty? Are you okay? Lately you’ve seemed a tad stressed. Is it college? 
Or finding your own place?” Daisy asked. Misty turned to face her.

	“No, I’m fine.” Misty said, thoroughly unconvinced. Why was Misty 
blushing? Daisy smiled as she finally understood.

	“You like a guy don’t you and you don’t know how you should ask him out do 
you?” Daisy said with a laugh. Misty turned even redder, not because of anger, 
but because Daisy had just hit what was wrong right on the mark.

	“No. Where did you get an idea like that?” Misty said, trying to sound 
completely in the dark but failing miserably.

	“I’m not stupid Misty. It’s Ash isn’t it?” Daisy asked. Misty’s whole face 
looked like a tomato right now.

	“You’re on something obviously.” Misty snapped back. At this, Daisy let 
out another laugh.

	“It’s so obvious Misty. You’re blushing more than I’ve ever seen you do 
before.” Daisy exclaimed. Misty ran to her mirror and checked. Damn. Daisy was 
right.

	“You’re good at this.” Misty said, smiling herself now. Daisy shrugged.

	“It’s just a talent. You two should get married.” Daisy replied. She broke 
out into hysterical laughter at the expression on Misty’s face at these words.

	“Oh shut up.” Misty replied. Daisy was rolling now.

	“Ash and Misty sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then 
comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage.” Daisy laughed. Misty 
chucked her pillow at Daisy which hit her in the face. Daisy threw it back at 
her, still recovering from laughing.

	“Here.” Misty said, rummaging for her cell phone. She pulled it out and 
handed it to Misty. “Call him and tell him how you feel.” Misty looked at her as 
though she had 5 eyes.

	“No way!” Misty exclaimed. Daisy looked serious now.

	“What are you afraid of? Go on. Call him!” Daisy insisted. Misty shook her 
head.

	“He’ll reject me, I know it.”  Misty said sadly. Daisy hit Misty over the 
head with the pillow again.

	“I doubt it. I always thought he liked you. You won’t know until you tried 
will you?” Daisy asked. Misty thought. Well, he hadn’t called for about two 
weeks but Misty hadn’t called him either. Maybe he was going through the same 
dilemma she was.

	“Oh fine. Give me the phone.” Misty said. Daisy beamed at her. Misty 
dialed Ash’s number about 5 times but hung up before she called it each time. 
Daisy was getting annoyed.

	“Oh just call him already!” Daisy exclaimed.

	“Okay. Fine. Don’t get so pushy.” Misty grumbled, finally making the call 
go through. She heard the ringing and waited.

	“Hello?” Came Mrs. Ketchum’s voice through the other end. Misty blinked.

	“Hi Mrs. Ketchum. Is Ash around by chance?” Misty asked. Daisy gave her 
thumbs up and winked. On the other end of the phone there was a brief pause.

	“Didn’t you know? Ash got called off for war. He left about two weeks 
ago.” Mrs. Ketchum told her. Misty was shocked.

	“I’m sorry sweetie. Is there anything else I can do?” Mrs. Ketchum asked. 
Misty wiped a tear out of her eye.

	“No. That’s okay. Thanks.” Misty replied sadly. With a click she hung up 
the phone.

	“Well? Well? What did he say?” Daisy asked. She caught look of Misty’s sad 
face and her smile immediately blinked away.

	“He turned you down?” Daisy said with anger building. Misty was trying to 
think. It all made sense. Ash hadn’t been in touch for two weeks because he got 
called off.

	“He didn’t say anything. He couldn’t because-”Misty started. She wiped 
more tears away.

	“Because what Misty?” Daisy asked. Misty looked at her.

	“Because he got called off to war.” Misty said sadly. With that, Misty got 
up and left the room, leaving Daisy sitting on her bed, shocked.

To be continued…

Wow. I know for a fact that this is better because I just read the old one. LOL. 
Well, review as always!
