It's Relative-part one

		"Ash, how much longer?" MIsty asked for about the thirtyith time on 
the last five minutes.
		"I told you it was about half a days walk back to Pallet. You could 
have driven with Brock ya know." Ash answered, in a slightly annoyed voice. 
Misty silently wished she had. Brock sprained his ankle and decided to rent a 
car to get back to Pallet from New Bark Town. He took all the pokemon too. 
Leaving Ash and Misty, alone together. If Ash wasn't in such a dam rush.' She 
thought.

		As the duo walked along the path, they noticed the sky was begining 
to darken. Ash let out a loud sigh, he knew they were going to have to stop and 
wait out the storm. He looked at his watch. It was eight in the evening. They 
had left New Bark Town at noon. 
		"Guess my time table was off." he idly mused.
		"Did you say something Ash?" Misty asked, turning to him.
		"No, but I think maybe we should set up camp. it's getting dark and 
it looks like it's going to rain." Misty agreed and they set about making camp.
		
		Only then did Ash realize what was missing.
		"Ahhhhh crap."  He said
		"What now?" Misty asked, turning her attention away from setting up 
her tent.
		"I left most of my stuff with Brock." Ash said. 
		Misty groaned. He could be so dense it was maddening. 
		"What?"
		"I didn't think we'd be camping so I left my sleeping bag and tent 
with Brock" Ash was now looking down at his feet. He didn't want to face Misty 
as she lectured him about how dumb he was. However he lucked out, because Misty 
was quite tired.
		"Well you can share my tent, it's big enough."
		Ash shot up. He ran over and hugged Misty.
		"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you." Ash said. 
		"No problem Ash." Misty said as Ash released her. "Just don't try 
anything funny."  Ash wasn't sure at what she was hinting at.
		"Ok, no funny stuff." Ash smiled at Misty.
		They both went into the tent and drifted off into sleep.


		"So Greg, how long have you been here?" Brock asked the new face in 
the Ketchum household.
		"Well I came to stay with Aunt D. My parents had to go to a U.N. 
security coucil meeting in New York." The boy answered.
		"Oh, that's cool. Owwww" Brock's next question was cut off due to 
the sharp pain, in his ankle.
		"You ok Brock?" Greg asked walking over to the breeder.
		"My ankle, it sprained it before I came here. That's why I drove."
		"Did you ice it? To keep the swelling down?" Greg asked, inspecting 
Brock's exposed ankle.
		"Yeah, I iced it the whole way here. It just gets tight, if i sit 
for too long. I have had these before, no big deal."
		"How did you do it before?"
		"Basketball. I played in high school, I was pretty good." Brock 
sadi, a little hint of ego creeping into his voice.
		"You played ball? Where?"
		"Pewter City High. Kanto Champions, '97"
		"Oh yeah, I remember now. You hit those free throws to force 
overtime. It was a hell of a game. To bad we lost." Brock shook his head. That's 
where he had seen this kid before.
		"You mean..."
		"Yup, I was the stupid freshman who fouled you. I knew you looked 
fammiliar." Their chat was intterupted by Mrs. ketchum calling them to dinner. 
Greg helped Brock into the kitchen, where they continued talking shop all 
throughout dinner.


		Misty was the first to wake up in the morning. She glanced down at 
her watch. It was eight in the morning. She then noticed a slight pressure on 
her right side. She turned her head to see that Ash had gotten quite close over 
night and had his arm around her.
		She quickly pushed his arm off, and whacked him on the head. Waking 
him up from his deep sleep.
		"ASH KETCHUM I SAID NO FUNNY STUFF!!!!!" She screamed.
		"Wha..what? Misty what's wrong?" Ash said groggily.
		"You had..with your..and it...." Misty couldn't quite seem to get 
the words out.
		"Misty relax. Breathe. Now, think of the words before you say them." 
Ash said, utterly confused as to why he was awoken to Misty's screams.
		"I woke up and you had your arm wrapped around me, like I was your 
personal teddy bear." Misty said as the two exited the tent. Actually Misty 
backed Ash out of the tent staring very threatiningly at him.
		"Oh is that it?" Ash said stretching. "Sorry, when I sleep i usually 
have an extra pillow or something to hold onto. I didn't mean anything by it." 
Ash watched as Misty's attitude changed.
		"Oh, geez I'm sorry Ash. It's just, I've never slept with a guy" Ash 
got a goofy grin on his face. "Not like that. It was a little weird waking up 
with your arm wrapped around me."
		"Well I promise next time we sleep together." Ash said sticking his 
tounge out at Misty.
		"Well that's good because...Hey don't you get any ideas. i only did 
this because if I showed up without you with me I wouldn't be able to explain." 
Misty noticed Ash had begun laughing. Misty walked over and started to smack him 
on the arm, repeatedly.
		"Ok ok ok. I'm sorry. I was only joking." Ash said between fits of 
laughter. "Now let's pack and get going."
		Once Ash had stopped laughing, he and Misty packed up and headed off 
once again for Pallet.
		"I swear will get there before dinner this time." ash said as they 
walked along.
*******************

		Well that was part one. I honestly don't know how long this will go 
on. I'm bored and figured "I think I'll write a story invoving me, as Ash's 
cousin." Not to terribly original, but hey, I'm bored.
		Brock is about 23
		Ash is 19
		Misty is 20.
		Greg is 20
		That's about it. It's a little Alternate reality. I've just messed 
with the charecters backstory's a little.
		Until next I write.... I hope have enjoyed the show.
