A/N: I know, I know, I know, ...and I'm terribly sorry, sooo soorry, I said I'd post this ages ago , but I didn't, I had many problems to deal with, but thanx for waiting if you're reading, hopefully somedy is,... *sigh* well, on with the story!!!

*******************************************************************************************************************

Duplica was already at the entrance, and by the way she looked, she wasn't happy at all to see Ash with....Misty!!

"Erm..Ash, what's she doing here?. Didn't I tell you that tickets were sold out!!" Duplica whisperd to Ash.

"Well,..em, she does have a ticket Duplica. She's allowed to go in" Ash responded in a whispher.

"Oh well. The more the merrier!!" she said, while handing the doorman the *three* tickets.

'Perfect!!, just simply perfect. I was suposse to have a wonderful night with Ash by mi side, and now I have to spend it with HER!! That pathetic excuse of trainer, oh God!!'

They entered the place. It was decorated with all the pokémon stuff you can imaging. Ash drove his gaze to a little Pikachu stuffdoll and rembered his long-time pokémon pal, he wondered if he's doing good at the Poké center. He walk up to the doll and held it in his hands, wanting to be where Pikachu was, having fun, after all he wasn't really a party guy, he was barely 12, but the thought of spending this time with Misty made him change his mind, and to try and enjoy the party.

"Ash.."

"Huh..."

Ash turned and saw Duplica waving at him. She was sitting across from Misty in an square-like table.

"Hey Ash!! Over here!!" Duplica said still waving. Misty just sat there thinking...

"Coming" Ash replied back and placed the Pikachu doll back before he went to the table. When he was approching the table he realized there were only two chairs available, one next to Duplica and the other next to Misty. 'Why didn't they sit together?' Ash thought 'Better sit...here'

"Ash, what ya doin'?!" Duplica asked surprised.

"What?!!" Ash answered confused.

Duplica sweatdropped,"Ash you're sitting in a different table. Come here, sit next to me"

'Glad she asked. She asked...yeah..she did, I didn't chose it, she asked, and because I'm such a nice guy I'll accept. Good thinking, Ketchum!!'

"Ok" Ash accepted.

Misty didn't notice anything of the last events, she was still thinking, thinking about Ash.

'Tonight is the night, I don't care is Miss Originality is here, I'll tell him. When Duplica goes to...I don't know where I'l take Ash somewhere else with me and then, I'll tell him.'

"Hey Mist"

"Huh..yes?"

"What u thinking, you seem a little spaced out"

"Oh..I was just thinking of how beutiful this place is decorated, looks more like a kid's birthday party than anything else" Misty said with a giggle.

"It does.." Ash said while he looked around the place.

"Well, it is decorated this way cuz this is a party for Pokémon lovers, or just pokémon trainers" Duplica stated.

"Ohh.."

"Umm...Ash, would you mind dancing with me?" Duplica asked innocently

"Err..ok, fine"

"Great, come" Duplica said while grabbing Ash and dragging him into the dancefloor.

Ash saw Misty's face when he said yes, she was...sad? Why could she be sad? The one suppose to be sad was him for being there dancing with Duplica. But, she was indeed sad, could she be feeling the way he was. That feeling that made him realize how he felt for Misty, could she be feeling the same way...

Misty wasn't at all happy. How could she be? The one she loved was dancing with the one she hated. Something inside Misty was putting her on the verge of crying. The thought of Ash being in love with Duplica. Why had she come to this party, to see Ash and Duplica dancing and having fun..without her? She had to leave.

Misty rose from her seat, took at last glance at the couple and left the party.

Ash saw Misty leaving and felt the hurge of running to her, but Duplica was grabbing him.

"Emm...Duplica could you excuse me. I have to go to...the bathroom!"

"Ok, I'll wait at the table"

"Fine, I'll just go now"

Ash started to run to the entrance. When he reached the entrance he saw Misty not to far from there. He went to where she was. She was sitting on a hill that held a view of the entire town. Ash reached where Misty was and sat right beside her. Misty notice this and almost jumped from the surprise.

"ASH!! what are you doing her, aren't you supossed to be *there* dancing?"

"I was, but I am more worried about you than that stupid party"

"You are?!" Misty said totally surprised.

"Of course, you're...my best friend"

"Yeah, you're best friend" misty said not sounding happy at all.

Ash saw her reaction and thought this was it, this was the time.

"Well, in fact, you're more than my best friend. You mean to me more than anything, I-I..love y-you"

Misty was all shocked, 'Oh my, oh my, he does love me'

"Ash, I love you too! I really do" she said, and by the time she said that the tears she was trying to hold, fell. Ash started to cry also. It was such a happy moment.

"Can I kiss you, Misty?"

"Of course, that is what I was longing for so long"

"Thanks"

Ash leaned and Misty did too. There lips met for the sweeter and pationed kiss ever. Both their hearts releasing the pation they held for a long, long time.

When there lips finally parted, they're eyes met. Melting in each others arms they felt in heaven.

"Ash, should we leave now?"

"Nope, let's stay here for a while. The view is excellent"

"ok"

Misty leaned on Ash's shoulder while he held her in an tender embrace.

***Back to the party***

' Wonder what is taking Ash that long. Maybe I shouldn't eat this food ' Duplica thought totally unaware of the situation. ' Maybe I should go look for him '

Duplica went towards the bathrooms, but something stopped her.

"Oh, hi Gary. You must not remember me, but I challenged you back at the Imita house, the ditto -master."

"Oh yeah, that's true. So how'd you been?"

"Fine, but not as fine as you" she said seductivly.

'Maybe Ash is gone, but I got myself another trainer'

"Could you dance with me, Gary"

"Sure" gary said totally shocked by Duplica

'Gary's MINE!!!!'
