A Christmas to Remember



Hey Everyone!!!!! Thank you all SOOOOOOOOOOOO much for the reviews they were really great and there what made me want to write another fic cuz I wasn't planning on it b4. Well once again I'm not giving anyone a specific age or look or anything because some poeple dont like them as i do so ill let you decide. This is an X-mas fic ( hence the name ) and i hope you enjoy :-)

Note - i dunt own pokemon.............bla blah blah.......................

The temperature dropped and snow slowly started to fall as the treo made there way towards pallet. It was one week until Christmas and Ash, Misty, Brock and there pokemon were all on there way towards Ash's house to celebrate the joyous holiday. The sun had already set on Pallet as the treo reached its entrance.

" Yeah!! Were finally here!! " yelled Ash
" Yea i didn't think we'd ever get out of those woods with you leading us. " Misty said sarcastically.
" Hey whats that suppose to mean? " replied Ash an annoyed look on his face.
" You know exactly what it means. It means everytime YOUR leading the group you USUALLY get us lost!"
" I do not!!"
" Do too! "
" Do not!! "
" Do too! "
" Look guys just calm down alright. Its almost Christmas. Who cares who gets us lost or not whats important is were here and were gonna have a great holiday. "
" SHUT UP BROCK! " they both yelled at the same time.
" Come on Pikachu lets just ignore that little runt and get home. " Ash said turning adn walking towards his house
" What did you just call me!?!? " screemed Misty following close behind. Brock just sighed and followed the 2 *love birds*
       When they all reached Ashes house they looked at it in awe. Most of the houses in the neighborhood had been decorated very nicely for Christmas but none compared to this. It was beautiful with colorful strings of lights and statues of Santa and his Reindeer. Giant candy canes, elves, wreathes, toys, and garlin magnificantly showing off the magical effect Christmas brings and the light snow fall added to the effect even more. It was perfect.
       " Oh! Its so beautiful! " Misty exclaimed obviously reffering to the house.
       " Yeah. Mom really gets into the whole holiday thing " replied Ash with a big grin on his face. His mom always made the holidays more fun.
       Ash walked up the stairs and knocked on the door of his house. He was greeted by the usual hugs and kisses, the asking if he changed his * you know whats * and of course the happy-go-lucky Mr. Mime. Although it was hard to believe the inside of the house was probably more decorated then the outside. It was full of color, garlin, little villages with poeple ice skating and playing in the snow, decorations like sleds, more santa statues and all of his companions and the most wonderful Christmas tree you could ever imagine placed neatly next to the fire with some fake presents under it to add to the look. On the table was a bowl of chesnuts and another of marshemellows for guests to roast and  a small train circling the tree. Music was playing and everything looked unreal. Like something you'd only see in a dream. After a few mintues of *ooohs* and *ahhhhs* Everyone went to there rooms for the night, for it was getting late.

       "Wheres Brock?" Ash asked looking around for his friend. He and Misty were in his room un-making there beds, getting ready to sleep in them. Misty had the single bed and Ash and Brock had the bunk bed. Ash had the bottom bunk.
       " Oh he's in the bathroom staring at his reflection......again.....trying to figure out why he doesn't have a girlfriend." Misty sighed. " He's hopeless. "
       " Geeze he spends more time in the bathroom then you do." Ash said not really realizing what he was getting himself into.
       " Hey! I do not spend that much time in the bathroom! And besides its all worth it for the final outcome." Misty said reffering to how beautiful she looked hoping she could make Ash realize that for once.
       "What outcome?" Ash asked. " You look ugly when you go in. And you still look ugly when you come out." he said sarcastically, of course not meaning a word for he thought the exact opposite.
       " Hey! shut up you jerk! " Misty said stomping her foot.
       " No YOU shut up! " Ash said taking a step towards her.
       " No YOU!! " Misty yelled taking Ash's challenge and stepping even closer to him. She didn't entirely hate it either for she did what ever she could to be as close to Ash as possible. They were now about a foot apart and gritting there teeth staring at each other angrily.
       " NO- " Ash was about to repley with a you but stopped for at that time pikachu and togepi ran in the room and pikachu had the end of a long silver Christmas ribbon in his mouth, trailing the other end behind him, which togepi was trying to catch. Pikachu didn't have many places to run to in the room so he started to circle Ash and Misty but the end of the ribbon caught under Ash's foot, which pikachu was un-awair of. He circled and circled the two with togepi not far behind tieing Ash and Misty together and bring them close to each other every second. Finally Pikachu ran out of ribbon and the end in his mouth was yanked out as Ash and Misty toppled over. Misty fell flat out on her bed and Ash right on top of her there faces just inches apart. They just starred into each others eyes dumb struck and embarassed with a slight blush apearing on both there faces. Ash was fighting this horrible urge to just lean in and kiss her right then and there and Misty was fighting the same one. It was too hard to resist and they slowly started to move close to each other. Thier faces hardly moved a centimeter closer when of course, Brock walked in.
       "Whoa!! Is this what you do when I'm not around!?" he asked surprised at the scene he had just walked in on. " I got to keep a close eye on you two! " he exclaimed with a bit of a chuckle and a grin.
       " I-we...but"
       "No-Brock we just-uh..eh heh" Both were blushing a radiant red at this time and quickly tried to get off of each otehr trying to explain what happened but both too embarassed to find the right words.
       " yea yea whatever" Brock said and climbed on the top bunk of his bed " Just make sure not to make TOO much noise tonight alright?" he asked laughing.
       " SHUT UP BROCK! " yelled Ash finally finding his voice.
       " Yea nothing happened! SO BACK OFF BEFORE I TAKE OUT MY MALLET AND GIVE YOU A LUMP SO BIG IT'LL LOOK LIKE YOU SPROUTED ANOTHER HEAD!!" Misty yelled losing her patients and quickly jumping into bed too.
       " Alright ! Alright! IM shutting up! I'm shutting up! just please dont hit me!" Brock pleaded then turned around and fell asleep. Ash did the same and jumped into his own bed quickly falling asleep as well.
 
*Creak*  *Squeak*

What was that noise? Ash thought  trying to focus his eyes. He woke up just intime to see the glimpse of a shadow leave the room. He groaned and sat up. He could hear Brock snoaring above him so he new it wasn't him. He looked to Misty's bed and didn't see anything in it but some ruffled sheets and a sleeping togepi. He got outta bed and went to go look for her. When he reached down stairs he read the kitchen clock which said it was about 6:05AM. What was Misty doing up so early? he thought to himself. He saw Misty then pass through the living room and onto the porch figuring she hadn't seen him up. He did the same and picked up the blanket draped over the couch on his way. Opening the sliding door he looked at Misty watching the snow fall.
       "What are you doing?" he asked. She jumped a bit and turned around to see none other then Ash.
       " Oh. Just came to watch the sun rise. It's even more beautiful when theres snow." she said smiley sweetly. Ash couldn't resist that smile and decided to join her. She was right. It was beautiful.
       " Yea....it does look better when theres snow. " he exclaimed then looked at Misty only to find her shivering a bit but still with a smile on her face. She seemed to be enjoying this and he was too. He then remembered the blanket he grabbed and moved behind her carefully draping it over her shoulders. She felt the warm blanket touch her and couldn't help but smile more, mainly because it was Ash who had given it to her and who also hadn't removed his hands from her shoulders yet. They sat there for what seemed like hours just watching the sunsrise and enjoying one anothers company. Then they heard someone coming downstairs so they quickly went inside making it look like they were getting a bowl of cereal for breakfast.
       "G'morning you two" siad Brock. " I'm guessing you two didn't sleep well last night if you know what I mean and im guessing it's because-" Brock decided to not say what he was planning on becuase he saw Misty take out her mallet and wave it around threateningly. "-uh...because uh..the storm!!! Because it was you no, so windy last night becuase of the snow storm....yea! eh heh " he quickly grabbed some breakfsat and went into the other room. Ash and Misty just laughed.

       That evening Misty decided to wrap the gifts she got for everyone. For about two hours she wrapped things like make up and hair supplies for her sisters, some sewing materials Mrs K had wanted, a new computer program to help sort out his data for Professor oak, a sketch pad and art supplies for Tracy, a book for brock called " Getting a Girlfriend for Dummies " pokemon food and toys for all her pokemon, and finally she came to Ash's gift. She blushed when she thought about him. ' O! what is wrong with me!?' she asked herself. She had been blushing a lot around him lately and she wanted to be near him and....' am I.....fallin for Ash? ' she asked herself. ' No! too scary!! why would I fall for such an idiot, stupid, sweet cute- Ah!! what am I saying! Just wrap the gift Misty! ' She pulled out some more wrapping paper and cut a strip about the right size to fit the parcel. After a little bit of tape and a nice bow on top she smiled finally finished with the chore. She then heard noises coming from the other room. A bit of grunting and some groaning. What was going on?
       Misty made her way to the room next to the one she was in which happeend to be Ash's room. She walked in and saw him sitting on the floor with presents surrounding him which he didn't really refer to as "wrapped". More like clumps of tape and paper stuck on items.
       " Uh....do you need any help?" Misty asked Ash who was working on what seemed to be a recipe book, probably for his mom, and his toungue sticking out to the side in frustraition.
       " No. I can do this" he said while trying to rip off another piece of tape and accidently braking the tape dispenser. They both sweatdropped " Uh...Maybe a little help wouldn't hurt."
       Misty just giggled and went over to him. But before she did she searched around the room for a present that might be given to her. "So.....which ones mine?" she asked? The truth was he had no idea what to get Misty and hadn't bought hers yet. " O...I uh....was getting it.....gift wrapped! yea! " he said not wanting to hurt Misty'd feelings by telling her he hadn't gotten her one yet. 'Great', he thought to himself ' not only do i have to find something to get Misty now but I have to get it gift wrapped.'
       "Oh" Misty said. And sat down next to him teaching him how to wrap the presents. She showed him how to fold and tape and crease and pretty much everything you need to know when it comes to wrapping presents and he seemd to catch on really quickly. After an hour or so all the presents were wrapped and it was time for the ribbons.
       "Alright now you need two people to tie ribbons." said Misty
       "Why?" asked Ash
       " Becuase, you need someone to hold the ribbon down with there finger while the other ties it. Here let me show you. Put ur finger on the ribbon."
       " Oh come on Misty! i can handle this! let me try."
       "Ash-"
       " Pleeeeeeaaasee!!"
       Misty sighed. "fine" she said finally giving in. I mean who cant tie a knot?
      
       * a few minutes later *

       " ASH GET MY FINGER OUT OF THIS RIBBON NOW!!!!!" Misty yelled. Ash was definatly able to tie a knot. A very good one. A very good, tight one, so tight infact that Misty couldn't get her finger out of the ribbon.
       " Oh...eh heh.....here let me just grab the present. Alright now you pull your finger one way and ill pull the present the other." Ash said while grabbing hold of the box. Both of them pulled but her finger woulnd't budge.
       " Ash!!!!!! How can you be SO stupid that you can't even tie a knot right!!!!!"
       " HEY!! I tied a great knot!!! "
       " Yea but you have to tie it so i can get it off my finger!!!!"
Ash was getting really angry now. He grabbed Mistys arm and led her to the bathroom shutting the door. In one quick movement he forced her hand and the box that was tied onto it down into the sink and grabbed the soap. Without thinking he moved his body so that he was behind her with his arms aligning hers and his head resting on her shoulder. He turned the water on so it was warm and rubbed her finger with soap and water carefully pulling the package off of it.
       " There." He exclaimed, releaved finally looking up from his chore and into the mirror. He and misty both stood silently looking at their reflection. There he was.......holding Misty.....his arms around her and both blushing. He quickly let go and they left the bathroom without speaking a word to each other. The wrapping lesson was over for the day.

Finally the week was almost over and it was Christmas Eve, meaning the Annual Town Christmas Party. Everyone in Pallet was there and also a lot of people visiting. Of course Brock was there trying to get a date. ' Too bad he doesn't already have the christmas present i got for him.....it would be very useful right now. ' Misty thought after seeing him get smacked for the 50th time that night. The pary was great so far. There was a lot of dancing and holiday games and decorations and of course......Ash's favorite-
       "Food!" Ash exclaimed running towards the buffet table.
       " Oh no here we go agian. Ash leave some for the otehr guests!! " Misty yelled watching him gobble down half the buffet table. Pikachu was munching away as well but it was only on ketchup covered or tomato items. They both ignored her and kept pigging out. She sighed and went over to the side of the dance floor. She watched all the people dancing laughing at the goons who couldn't and envying the ones who could dance really well, wishing she could dance like that or atleast had a partner to. She looked over to the buffet table expecting to see Ash still there but he wasnt. She looked around and surprisingly saw him coming her way, her stomache jumped a bit but she stayed calm. He handed her a cup of punch and she smiled excepting his offer.
       "So.....Whatcha doin?" he asked, trying to start a conversation.
       " Just watching the people dancing. " She replied.
       "Oh......well....you wanna dance?.." He asked kinda embarassed.
       "yea ok. " She said smiling. They put down there punch and made there way to the dance floor. Both were very skillful dancers although Misty didn't think she was. Everyone was watching them and they were haveing a blast. After about an hour of dancing they both agreed that a break was needed so they headed over to the spot there were standing at before. Looking over they saw both Brock and Pikachu coming there way, with very suspicious wide grins on there faces. They aproached a very confused looking Ash and Misty.
       " Hey guys" said Brock, very happily.
       " hey...." they both said trying to be cautious.
       " So what are you up to???" he asked
       " nothing " Misty replied a little suspicious of his behavoir.
       " Whats going on Brock?" asked Ash.
       " Oh nothing!!" Brock lied then pretended to look up at the ceiling for no reason. "Oh..My....Gosh! look what you two are standing under!!" he said trying to sound surprised. They both looked up to see none other then mistletoe. They quickly looked at each other blushing then started to back away. "Oh no you dont!" yelled Brock grabbing both of them and putting them in the position they were before.
       " No way Brock!! I am NOT gonna kiss him! " yelled Misty.
       " Yea and i DEFINATLY do not wanna kiss her either!!" exclaimed Ash.
       " Sorry guys its tradition and you dont want to break tradition!!"
       " WHO CARES ABOUT TRADITION!!" they both yelled at the same time.
       " Dont make me force you!! " threatened Brock.
       " You do and i'll get knocked back to Johto" Misty shot back at him reaching for her trusty Mallet. "huh?" she questioned. "AHH!!!! wheres my mallet!!!!!" she yelled turning around to see pikachu splitting it in half. ".....uh..oh.." she said quietly.
       " Oh come on Misty don't worry whats Brock gonna do?" said Ash confidently.
       " Oh I wont be doing anything........because I no pikachu is much more persuasive than I am " he said gesturing to the small yellow mouse pokemon. Pikachus cheeks started to spark.
       " You wouln't" dared Ash. Pikachu shocked him, not too hard but hard enough to convince him that pikachu wasn't going to take no for an answer. " alright alright I'll kiss her!!! " he screamed.
       "what!?!?" asked Misty. " No Im not going this!!" She bent down and smiled sweetly at Pikachu. Come on pikachu you wouldn't hurt your old friend Misty would you?"  More sparks soon started to come form its cheeks. " oknevermindthen" she said quickly standing up and facing Ash once more. Both Brock and Pikachu got out there cameras ready to take as many pictures as possible. Both Ash and Misty blushed and nerviously started to get closer to each other. They started to lean in then-
       " Alright I just want to make this clear that I'm only doing this cuz I have too!" yelled Ash randomly.
       " Yea me too" Misty agreed. "So it doesn't mean anything ok?'
       "ok" Ash said
    Once again they both leaned in and when there faces got a few inches apart Ash placed his hand on the back of Misty's neck. She stopped.
       "uh,....what are you doing?" she asked
       "I dunno it was just a reaction....sorry"
       "Its ok....i mean it doesn't mean anything so.....i guess you can" they both laughed nervously and Brock and Pikachu were grinning like idiots watching this scene. For the third time they leaned in.....getting closer and closer until there lips were only an inch or so apart. Misty could feel Ash's breath on her lips and Ash could smell Misty's wonderful scent. They seemed to stall a bit at this point and Pikachu was getting annoyed. He climbed up brocks head and jumped from his head to Ashs pushing him forward just enough to close that gap. Ash and Misty's eyes went wide but slowly started to flutter close. They never felt anything so wonderful their entire lives. Soon the kiss became more passionate and like they had the same mind they suddenly both stopped what they were doing at the saem exact time. They opened there eyes and looked at each other and looked around realizing they had been kissing for a good 5 minutes. They quickly seperated and saw Borck and Pikachu had already gotten bored and left. There was an awkward silence.
       "......uh.....Misty....." Ash said finally braking it.
       "yea"
       "I-uh...would you ummm ........mind if i maybe gave you your christmas present now......i kinda dont want to wait"
       "yea sure" she said. Ash reached into his pocket and pulled out a small ( gift wrapped ) box. Misty quickly opened it and saw a jewlry box which contained the most beautful necklace shed ever seen. It had a diamond togepi on it. " oh Ash ...." was all she could manage. He just smiled knowing she liked it. She jumped into his arms and gave him a big hug. "I love you Ash " she said. Ash released his grip on her surprised and she was surprised about what she had said too.
       " you do?" he asked dumbfounded hoping he heard her right.
       " I mean...i uh....eh heh...yea....i guess i do" she finally managed to get out.
       " Good." He said. Then kissed her. " cuz I love you too " They smiled at one another. This had definatly been a Christmas to remember.
