Chapter 4: Ash!! Co-Operate!! Misty had the biggest grin ever on her face when she finally got into the gym. Ash was being chased by Pikachu and Togepi, Brock was flirting with Violet, and Daisy and Lilly were laughing and giggling about something. Everyone look at Misty at once. Her big smile gave it away instantly. Everyone came running up to her. "Oh MY gosh...Misty!! did you save the gym?", asked Daisy, Misty had never seen her eyes so big. Misty nodded her head happily. All of a sudden All her sisters started screaming and shouting with joy!! Ash was amazed. "How...did you get my dad to agree....", asked Ash. Misty's joyful smile turned into a *please don't hurt me ash* type of smile. Ash and Brock looked at each other. Ashes face had gone from proud of Misty to a worried/scared/what the hell?/confused look. "Misty....what did you do?", asked Brock. Misty laughed uneasily. "Ok well...Ash...", Misty was interrupted by Ash. "If I have to meet and talk with my dad you can forget it!", he growled. Misty didn't have the guts to tell him. She knew he'd never agree to it so instead she denied it. "NO Way! Of course not Ash...", she smile uneasily. Ash sighed. "Thanks Misty I knew you wouldn't do that to me!", said Ash, flashing the hottest smile Misty had ever seen. She almost died, "Anyway I'm gonna go swim... I'm glad you got the gym back Mist". As Ash ran into the swimming room, Brock turned to Misty, who was looking like she had betrayed someone. "Misty....You did didn't you...", said Brock. Misty looked up at him, blank faced, and shuffled to the kitchen to pout herself a drink. Brock followed her. "Why didn't you just tell Ash!", asked Brock. Misty took a sip. Misty slammed her cup down onto the counter. "HE'D HATE ME!!", screamed Misty. She didn't know, but at this time Ash was listening at the kitchen door, "If he knew I'd set him up with his dad he'd hate me.... I thought I could get him to just co-operate with me...", Ash burst in. "Co-operate? Misty! You were suppose to go try to save the gym, not me and my fathers relationship!!". "OH!! Ash...no listen..." "No Misty, You listen! How could you", shouted Ash as he ran for the door. Misty and Brock ran to the door after him. "Where are you going?", asked Brock. "To tell my dad I will never talk to him....no matter whatever Misty said!!", Ash snarled. he stormed out the door, running as fast as he could. "Oh no...Brock he doesn't realize he's gonna make us the loose the gym", cried Misty, running after him. She was about 5 steps behind him when they both burst through the PKMLeague HQ. Ash didn't even go to the reception desk, he just ran through, Misty followed. Ash burst into his father office. "YOU", shouted Ash to his father as Misty also burst into the office. "Ash wait!!", cried Misty. "NO! Listen...dad.! No matter what Misty told you I will never let you try to patch things up! I never want to talk with you!", shouted Ash. Misty stood beside him. Ash father pulled out the check for the gym. he had it written out and everything. Misty's eyes widened at the sight of the check. Ash was confused. "Well Miss Misty...you part of the deal fell...so will mine", Ash father smirked, as he ripped up the check. The gym was lost. Misty fell to the floor in tears. Ash's father smiled at him and left the room. But stood secretly by the door to see what would happen. "Mist....was...he going to pay off the gym...", asked Ash, with a gulp. Misty didn't reply...she kept on crying. Ash regretted what he had just done. He kneeled down and put his hand on Misty's shoulder, She shoved him away and stood up. "ASH! Why didn't you just stop and listen to me!", snarled Misty, still crying, "Just for one second!!". "If I would of known..." "If you would of known you would of talked to your father...", growled Misty;. "yeah..." "BULL SHIT", Screamed Misty, crying heavier. Ash was astonished. In all his years with Misty he hadn't ever heard her cuss... His eyes widened. This meant more to her then he had even thought. "Misty listen to me...." "I've done enough of that! Now you listen to me, as you should of in the beginning... Because of you...mine and my sisters gym is GONE. And you know another thing...you didn't only loose the gym and a chance to get to know your father..." "huh..." "You lost my friendship....As soon as my sisters are kicked out, I'm staying with them... and I want you out of the gym by tonight...Pikachu can stay...Brock can stay...but you...OUT! If I could erase one thing from my life...It'd be you", yelled Misty, tears flooding down her face. Ash gasped. "Mist...", whispered Ash, watching Misty fall to her knees again. He couldn't believe she actually would erase him from everything...He didn't know what to think...his angry took over. "Fine! You want me erased...I'm gone!", Ash said, storming out of the office, he stop at the sight of his dad. "You...you did this....you knew there was no way I'd agree to talk to you...you scammed Misty...You made that deal because you knew you wouldn't have to pay...you knew I'd back out!", growled Ash, getting in his fathers face. "No Ash" "Yes DAD!", snarled Ash... his face softened when he glanced back to wear Misty was crying, "I...ah...I have to go get my stuff from the gym and get me a hotel room...". Ash ran out of there as fast as he could. He stepping into the gym, drenched in sweat from all the arguing and running. Brock was about to ask what happened, but Ash walked abruptly into the room he had been staying in. Brock followed. he noticed Ash packing his stuff. "Ash...don't run away from this..."
