Disclaimer: hmm, you're right...... I don't own pokemon do I? A/N: thanks to those who sent reviews! Here's chapter 3! Chapter 3: The Plan Misty ran outside, with tears in her eyes. Why did I say those things? , she thought to herself. Why did I say he was dense? Now he probably hates me! Brock: hey misty! Wait up! , he called. Misty: what do you want Brock? , she asked, still walking. Brock: what's wrong? Why did you run off like that? Misty: why? She screamed, turning to face him. I'll tell you why! Because now that I called him dense he probably hates me, that's why! Misty tried to calm down, but just couldn't. She was so worried about ash's feeling towards her that she was becoming hysterical. Brock: why would you think that? , he asked, looking confused. Ash never hated you, and I don't think he ever will! Misty: how would you know? , she asked him, curious. Brock: because he- Brock had been about to say "loves you". He was about to admit that he heard ash talking to pikachu a while back, and overheard him admitting his feelings for misty. He decided against it to respect ash's feelings. Brock: look, he said pleadingly. I just have a strong hunch. You should see how he looks at you sometime. Just. give him some time to come around. He'll admit his feelings sooner or later. Misty: I don't know. Brock: trust me! He'll come around in no time, he assured her. You just gotta show him you're interested! Misty: how do I do that? , she asked. Brock: do whatever it takes! Misty and Brock arrived at the store. Brock went to look for some pepto bismal, while misty browsed around. She thought about what Brock said and decided she had nothing to lose. She was trying to think about what she could do to get ash's attention. All he ever seemed to notice were pokemon! He liked food, she reasoned. Especially chocolate! Hmm, she thought, maybe a nice dinner? Yeah, she reasoned, why not? She walked around the store and picked up a few things. A plump turkey, some vegetables, some biscuits, some sparkling white grape juice, some chocolate ice-cream, and a nice, fluffy, chocolate cake! She decided to buy something nice to wear, so she chose a nice red and orange dress, with slits down the side. She hoped this would get ash interested. She walked over to the perfume section and noticed a large crowd of people. A tall, sexy woman appeared to be advertising a new line of perfume. Clerk: this is our newest line of perfumes. They're called SOULMATE and are almost guaranteed to turn a men's head! Would anyone like to volunteer to try it out? She looked around at the crowd until her eyes came to rest on misty. Clerk: say you, how about it? Misty: who me? , she asked, looking bewildered. Clerk: yeah! Come on up here! Misty, nervously, climbed onto the stage. The clerk gave her a small vile of perfume and a strange badge. Clerk: now what I want you to do is walk around the store for awhile. The badge has a small hidden camera that will project what you see onto this screen, she stated, indicating a large screen behind her. When you spray on the perfume you should get a lot of attention from men. As payment we'll give you a free box of SOULMATE, she exclaimed, handing her a box of perfume. Misty: okay. She put on the perfume and the badge and began walking around the store. Sure enough, men of all shapes and sizes began noticing her. Man 1: excuse me miss, could I by you lunch? Man 2: that's a lovely fragrance. Are you related to Jennifer Lopez? Man 3: hey baby, how'd you like to go with a real man? Man 4: I think you must be the girl of my dreams! Girl: I thought I was the girl of your dreams! , she said a little sadly. Man 5: will you marry me? Man 6: you remind me of a girl that I once knew! I see her face whenever I, I look, at you! Man 7: girl, you should be my girlfriend! Man 8: that girl is poison! Man 9: let me see you take it low! Man 10: would you like to marry a millionaire? A very familiar face runs up. Brock: oh wow! I've never seen a girl as beautiful as you before! My name is brockwillyougooutwithmetonight? Misty: Brock it's me, misty! Brock: misty? He he. sorry about that, he said, scratching his head bashfully. I don't know what came over me! I just smelled your perfume and went crazy! Anyway, I got the medicine. Are you ready to go? Misty: you bet, she said! ***** As brook and misty headed back to the pokemon center, misty told Brock about her idea and asked him to help. He was happy to, and said with her new perfume; ash would be head over heels for her. Arriving at the pokemon center, they set things up. Misty runs upstairs to give ash his medicine. Misty: ash? , she calls. Are you awake? Ash: yeah, I'm up, he said. Misty: here you go, she says, handing him his medicine. Ash: thanks a lot. Misty: are you feeling any better? , she asks, giving him a worried look. Ash: I'm okay, he lies. Lately ash's stomachaches were growing worse and worse. He wasn't sure if pain medicine would even make a difference. Misty: okay, she said, unsure. Will you be well enough to eat tonight? Ash: you bet! I'll always be well enough for dinner! Misty: okay! Dinner will be ready in a few hours. Misty ran to brocks room, happily. She was very glad that ash would be able to eat, so her plan would be able to work. She walked in and saw he was already in the kitchen, cooking. Brock: is he okay? Misty: yeah, he says he alright. The plans still on! Brock: good! He won't know what hit him! ***** meanwhile, in the viridian forest, Jessie and james were walking nervously past some sleeping beedrill. james: Jessie, are you sure about this? Jessie: she looked over at him and asked, what do you mean? James: I mean, are you sure we're doing the right thing attacking the twerps again? Jessie: of course we are you idiot! He's sick, so knows a perfect time to strike! James: but Jessie, don't you remember that time back on the orange islands? Jessie: what time? James: that time on that island where you inhaled stun spore. We had to get you some salvae weed but, couldn't find any. We failed in trying to still some from the twerpette, yet she gave us some anyway. Jessie: so? What's your point? James: my point, he said angrily, looking over at her, is that we should be more grateful! They didn't have to help, yet they did anyway! It's wrong to kick people when they're down! Jessie: we're bad guys james. It's our job to kick people when they're down! Meowth: in case you forgot, jimmy, the boss said we's gotta catch that pikachu, ors we's gonna pay the ultimate penalty! James: how much is that? Jessie: hits him with her fan. IDIOT! It means he's gonna kill us, she snarled! Meowth: keep it downs you two! You're gonna wake up the beedr- Before he could even finish, a horde of beedrill appeared and chased them through the forest. Team Rocket: looks like team rocket's running off again! ***** Ash: in a monotone voice says, well Pikachu, I have about 5 days left. What do you think I should do? Pikachu pika. Ash: I guess my mom deserves to know. Think I should call her now? Kachu! Ash: alright, he says heading over to the phone. ***** delia ketchum is drinking a cup of tea and watching her favorite soap opera, WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. The main character, satoshi, has come down with an illness and only has a week to live. She hasn't heard from Ash in awhile and is a little worried. Her mother-sense tells her something is wrong. Just when satoshi's girlfriend is about to kiss him, the phone rings. RING RING RING, RING RING RING, PHONE CALL! She walks over to the phone and turns on the vid-screen. Ash: hi mom. Delia: oh Ash! , she says a little hysterically. I was hoping you'd call soon! I've been so worried about you! How are you? How's Pikachu? Ash: Pikachu's fine mom, but. Delia: Ash what's wrong? Ash: I.I have some bad news mom. Delia: Ash come on, what's wrong? Try as he might he couldn't get the words out. He knew he could tell his mom anything, but he didn't know how she would react to this. Delia: come on Ash. You know you can tell me anything. Ash: okay. I.. I .. I'm sick. Delia: what.. What do you mean sick? , she asked, fearing the worst. Ash: I'm going to die in a week. (end of chapter 3) A/N: well I'll bet she wasn't expecting that! Or was she? Next chapter, Ash's mom deals with the truth and asks that he come home as soon as possible. Also, will Misty's plan to get Ash to confess his true feelings? And what of Team Rocket? All this and more, next time, so review "if that is what you wish"! This is siklekid85@hotmail.com signing off!
