Baby Days
Chapter 2


A large auditorium-like room was located on the 3rd floor of the Indigo
tower. There were
several displays scattered around the room and in the center sat a few
hundred people all
facing a stage. On stage there was a incredibly boring scientist who was
droning on
endlessly about Pokemon offspring and mating habits.
"We have discovered that a Pokemon egg produces a different Pokemon,
depending on
the amount of time incubated...."
"Why am I here?" the incredibly bored Prof. asked the beautiful brown-haired
woman
sitting next to him.
"Because Sammy, you are a highly esteemed member of the Pokemon community and
it
would look bad if you weren’t here. Besides, you are not allowed to complain
about the
boringness of the situation, only I can do that." Sam raised an eyebrow at
Delia.
"Seriously though, when are they go to show the newly discovered Pokemon and
their
evolutions. That is the part I’m looking forward to seeing," Delia stated
excitedly as she
looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of a new Pokemon.
"Sorry Delia, but that part of the convention wont be until the end of the
day."
"What?! I have to wait all day for that! That’s ridiculous, why do they have
the best part
at the end for, they didn’t do that the last time I was here. I think the new
Pokemon were
one of the first things they showed."
"Yeah well they changed the schedule this year, and for good reason."
"And that would be?"
"When did you leave the convention last time?"
"I think it was just after they showed the new Pokemon. Why do you ask?"
"Well that’s the point, everyone left at that time, and then hardly anybody
had stayed for
the rest of the convention. That’s why this year if you want to see the new
Pokemon you
have to stay for the whole thing."
"Ohhh," Delia said in realization.
"However, Nidorino and Nidorina are two cases of varying male and female
appearances..."
Delia looked back up at the scientist on stage who looked like he had been
around since
the Ice Age.
"This is cruel and unusual punishment," Delia said semiseriously as Sam
chuckled.
"I’m so glad you’re here," Sam truthfully stated as Delia looked
affectionately into his
eyes.
"Hey dad!"
"Ah!" Sam jumped in his chair as a hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Relax it’s just me and Stella. Hey Delia how are you?" A tall brown-haired
man
questioned as Prof. Oak sunk back into his chair.
"I’m fine Mike it’s nice to see you again." Delia greeted kindly as she waved
to Stella
who was finding them a place to sit..
"Mike you scared me, why are you late?"
"We found some traffic along the way."
"Where’s Gary?"
"Oh we already dropped him off at the daycare center downstairs. Ah, I think
Stella
found us a seat, I’ll see you two later, okay?"
"Okay Mike."
"Make sure my dad doesn’t get into any trouble, Delia," Mike said as he
winked in their
direction while walking off.
"Hmpff, he’s the one who gets into trouble not me." Sam pouted.
"He was just kidding, and speaking of the daycare center I wonder how Ash is
doing."
Delia said somewhat worriedly.
"I’m sure he is just fine-"
"Now we will hear a lecture prepared by Prof. Oak about his findings when
researching
Kabuto fossils. Professor please approach the stage."
"I guess that’s my cue." Sam began to rise from his seat, but stopped when he
felt
someone squeeze his hand.
Delia looked at Sam sweetly. "Good luck, I know you’ll be great."
Sam held on to her hand lightly as he mouthed the words "I love you" and
turned to walk
on stage, leaving behind a blushing Delia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
"So ya love Pokemon too huh?" the little redhead asked the black-haired boy.
"Yup. That’s why I want to be a Pokemon twainer someday. What kind of
Pokemon do
you like?"
"I love any kind of water Pokemon. We have a bunch of dem back home in our
gym and
I watch them swim awound all day. It’s the best and they are all so pwetty."
Hearts
seemed to appear before Misty’s eyes as she thought about the water Pokemon.
"Yeah well I like all kinds of Pokemon." Ash began to list all the kinds of
Pokemon as he
counted them off with his fingers. "Lets see, I like water, fire, gwass, ice,
flying,
electwic, bug-"
"Ahhh! I don’t like them kind, yuck!" Misty shivered at the thought.
"What? Bugs?"
"Yeah those are the yucky, icky Pokemon. They’re all cwawly and slimy and
gwoss."
Misty made a face showing her disgust for bug type Pokemon.
"I think all Pokemon are gweat."
"Well goody for you."
Misty looked around the room as she spotted a really big tower made from
Pokemon
blocks.
"Cool!" Misty crawled over to the tower.
"Who made this?"
"Oh that was me, well me and Wichie, but I put on the top block which is da
hardest to
put on and without me it wouldn’t be finished." Ash stated proudly.
"Vewy nice, who’s Wichie?"
"Hmm, oh Wichie’s that kid over there." Ash pointed to a little brown-haired
boy who
was crawling around the room.
"What’s he doin?" Misty asked, baffled.
"Come close it’s a secwet," Ash said as he pulled Misty close so he could
whisper into
her ear.
"Huh? There’s no such ting as cookie cwumb dirt!" Misty was outraged at such
a
suggestion.
"Ssshh, not so loud, and yes there is, I’ll pwove it. You know da really dark
cookie
cwumbs on the outside of an owscream bar."
"Yeah."
"Yeah well my mommy planted a lily in a bunch of those cookie cwumbs and she
told
me it was dirt so I wouldn’t eat it and destroy the flowor."
Misty looked at Ash doubtfully.
"It’s true, you know how mommies say tings some times so that you wont do
dem, well
this is one of the tings she said. But it weally is cookie cwumbs, when I
find some I’ll
show you."
Misty burst out with laughter at her new friends ramblings. "Your silly."
Ash looked a little offended by the comment but he then noticed Misty was
smiling
happily and he cheered right up.
Ash then began to think about something. "Hey Misty, you weally don’t have
any
fwends?"
Misty’s mood changed at the question, seeming to be quite upset now.
"No, no fwends. Just my sisters who tease me all da time and bother me...they
don’t even
love me, because I’m a wunt."
Ash looked at Misty sadly as he thought....‘How could anyone not like her,
she likes
Pokemon and she’s fun to talk to and pway wit.’
"What is this? A ugly wooking pile of poop. Ooops, sowwy," the voice of a
snotty little
boy was heard as all the blocks of the tower came crashing down with a swift
motion of
the boy’s foot.
Ash and Misty watched on in horror at the destruction of the tower. Richie
also saw his
tower fall down and began to cry.
"You! You did dat on purpose!" Ash accused the brown, spikey-haired little
boy with the
mischievous grin.
"Pwove it, loser. Wook at the wittle ugwy Ash and his ugwy fwend, the boy
said as he
looked at Misty.
"I-" Misty was interrupted by a very angry Ash.
"You bad ol Gawy Oak. You better take dat back because she’s my fwend, she’s
not
ugly, she’s nice, and fun, and you’re just a big meanie!"
Misty watched on in admiration as the first friend she ever had defended her.
"You better say I’m sowwy Gawy or else!"
"Or else what?" Gary said snobbishly.
"Or else I tell everyone about.." Ash began to whisper something in Gary’s
ear.
Gary blushed in horror as he began to back away.
"I’m sowwy, there I said it, now leave me alone." Gary stated nervously as he
ran away.
"Big bad Gawy isn’t so scawy, big bad Gawy isn’t so scawy," Ash chanted while
Gary
ran in the other direction. Ash giggled as he turned back to Misty who was
looking at
him very peculiarly.
"Misty?"
Misty jumped up and gave the bewildered Ash a big hug. Ash was totally
confused as to
what to do.
"Uh..."
Misty nuzzled herself into Ash as she giggled happily. "Ash your my hewo."
Ash pulled away from Misty as a blush rose to his face. "Aww, it was nothin.
I’m just
bein a good fwend, plus dat Gawy is a big meanie so yellin at him was fun."
Ash
scratched the back of his head nervously as Misty stared at him dreamily.
"Yeah but you were weally bwave."
"Tanks. Um...we better see if Wichie is otay."
"Kay." Misty watched Ash walked over to where Ms. Krissy was comforting
Richie.
‘Wow, he’s da bestest person I’ve ever met...I have a boyfwend!’ Misty
thought gleefully
as she followed behind Ash.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
"Is she still doin it?" Ash asked his friend Richie.
Richie looked over at Misty who was sitting across from Ash. She seemed to be
in some
sort of daze as she stared at Ash adoringly.
"Yup. Whatcha thinks wrong with her?" Richie whispered in Ash’s ear.
"I’m not sure but I tink it has somethin to do with what my mommy said once."
"What she say?"
"She said that if ya make a face long enough it gets stuck like dat. Waahh,
I’m gonna
look like a Psyduck!"
"So ya sayin she’s gonna be stuck like dat foreva?"
"I hope not, dat look is scawy."
"Well do somethin, she’s your fwend."
"Your wight." Ash looked back at Misty who stared back at him, still in a
daze.
Ash took his finger and attempted to poke her in the eye. Misty saw this,
snapped out of it
and smacked Ash’s hand away, hard.
"Whatcha do that for?"
"We thought ya got stuck like dat."
"Yeah, why ya keep lookin at me like dat for?"
"Cause, your my boyfwend!"
"Huh?!" Ash looked at Misty perplexed.
"Yeah, just like my sisters have boyfwends now I do too! And I’m your
girlfwend!"
Ash was beyond confused as he looked to Richie for some kind of explanation.
"Don’t look at me, she’s your girlfwend."
Misty smiled joyously at being referred to as Ash’s girlfriend.
"No she’s not! No your not, I don’t even know what a boyfwend is!"
"A boyfwend is somebody who sticks up for me and likes me and is nice to me
like you
is."
Ash wasn’t too sure about this. What he really wanted to know is what a
boyfriend is
supposed to do.
"Isn’t that da sameting as bein a fwend?"
"Nope, it’s diffwent.
"How?"
"When your a boyfwend you get to hold hands with me and hug me and...."
Misty realized that none of this was impressing Ash as he looked at her
doubtfully.
"Children! It’s time for a snack!" Ms. Krissy called to the children in the
room as they all
came rushing up to her to get their snack which consisted of juice, a
cupcake, and a
banana.
When Misty heard this announcement she got an idea.
"I’ll give you my snack if you’ll be my boyfwend."
Ash’s eyes widened at this offer.
"Kay!" Ash said excitedly as he ran over to accept his two snacks while Misty
jumped up
and down in delight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
The children were now eating their snacks as they waited for the Pokemon to
arrive so
they could play.
Richie was seated on the floor next to Ash as he enjoyed his juice. Ash was
digging in to
one of his cupcakes, as he now had two of each item thanks to Misty. Misty
was just
content to know that Ash was now her boyfriend. She sat next to Ash with her
head
leaning on his shoulder and her arms wrapped a little too tightly around
Ash’s waist
while also trapping his right arm in place, so that he was unable to move it.
"Um, Ash?"
"Yeah?" Ash replied with his mouth full.
"Is she gonna be holding on to ya like that for the west of your life?"
"If I get double the snacks for the west of my life then I don’t care," Ash
stated as he
struggled to pry his right hand free from Misty’s grip so he could pick up
his juice box to
drink.
"I guess it’s a pwetty good deal."
"Yup, bananer?" Ash said as he offered Richie one of his bananas which he
took gladly.
Misty loosened her grip on Ash as she looked over to the swings and realized
that they
were finally free. She noticed that Ash was done eating so the timing was
perfect for her
to ask her new boyfriend...
"Ash, can we go play on the shwings? I’ll sit and you’ll push me, kay?"
"Whatta you give me if I do?"
"Give you? I already gave you my snack so you can be my boyfwend."
"Yeah but now you want me to do sometin else, so whatta ya gonna give me?"
Misty’s face turned red in anger. "Ya mean you want me to give you sometin
evewytime!"
Ash nodded his head while grinning.
Misty was now thoroughly upset because this definitely was not what she had
in
mind."Well fowget it! I don’t want ya as my boyfwend or my fwend! You suck!"
Misty
ran away from Ash and Richie with tears in her eyes.
"I guess no more extwa stuff for you. But now ya don’t have to have her
holdin on to ya
anymore," Richie stated.
"Yeah..." Ash said somewhat disappointedly as he watched Misty run to corner
of the
room.
"All right everybody, the Pokemon are here!" Ms. Krissy announced as she
opened two
doors at the back of the room, letting the Pokemon inside.
As soon as the doors opened the children’s faces lit up at the sight before
them.
Two Bulbasaurs, a Squirtle, a Charmander, a Pidgey, a group of Rattata, and a
Growlithe
all ran into the room as the children cheered and squealed in delight.
"Wow, look at the cool Chowmander." Richie said as he went running towards
it.Several of the other children also ran to greet and play with the Pokemon.
Ash was about
to join Richie when he saw Gary Oak playing a little too roughly with the
Squirtle.
"Come on, you don’t wook so tough. I bet you can’t even tackle. I can tackle
dough,
watch." Gary ran and bumped into the baby Squirtle, sending it flying
backward and
making it retreat into it’s shell. Gary then ran up to it and started to pull
at it’s tail as the
little turtle Pokemon cried out in pain.
"Leave it alone!" Ash shouted at Gary.
"Mind your own business! Go get your own Pokemon to pway wit."
"Your hurting it, stop!"
Gary stepped away from the Squirtle as a sly grin appeared on his face.
"Where’s your new fwend? Did she weave you too? Just wike your daddy did?"
Ash looked at Gary in shock as the memories all came back to him.
"Stop it,.....please," Ash said as tears ran down his face while he sat on
the floor hugging
his knees.
Misty saw what was going on and inched herself closer to the scene.
"You always call me mean, but if I’m so mean then why doesn’t your own daddy
wove
you? My daddy woves me but you must be weally bad for your daddy to weave. I
bet
your mommy doesn’t wove you neither."
Ash was now crying loudly as he rocked himself back and forth.
"Stop it! You leave my fwend alone! And you leave Squiwtle alone too!
Squiwtle,
watergun attack!" Misty ordered the water Pokemon. Squirtle was only too
happy to help
as he shot a weak watergun attack at Gary making the little boy soaking wet.
Ms. Krissy,
hearing what was going on ran over to the scene.
"What is going on here?!"
Gary started to cry as he voiced his complaint to Ms. Krissy.
"She made Squiwtle watergun me!" Gary pointed Misty out.
"He deserved it. He was hurting Squiwtle and saying mean things to Ash,
making him
cry."
"Is this true Gary Oak?"
"NO!"
"Yes it is, he’s a wiar," Richie stated.
"Yeah I saw him hurt Squirtle and I heard him say really mean things to that
kid." Brock
pointed Ash out.
Gary looked extremely guilty now.
"Well Gary, we’ll see what your parents are going to say when they here about
this. Now
come with me, you are going to sit in the corner for the rest of the day
until your mom
and dad come to pick you up."
"Awww, but I wanted to pway wit da Pokemon."
"Well then you should have thought of that before you broke the rules. Now
come on we
have to get you out of those wet clothes."
The children watched Ms. Krissy carry Gary away and then they went back to
playing
with the Pokemon.
Misty walked over to the sniffling Ash.
"Did your daddy weally leave ya?"
Ash didn’t answer.
Misty realized that it must be true as she tried to figure out some way to
comfort him.
"I’ll love ya."
Ash looked up at Misty. "Huh?"
Misty blushed a little as she suddenly turned uncharacteristically shy. "I’ll
love ya instead
of your daddy. I mean, if ya want me to."
Ash’s face lit up at this suggestion. "Really?! Kay!.....Your the bestest!"
Ash pulled Misty into a hug as Misty gratefully accepted it.
Ash thought for a moment of the great thing Misty just did for him after he
had just
refused to do anything for her unless she gave him something.
"Misty, I wanna be your boyfwend."
Misty pulled away from Ash so she could look him in the eyes.
"Weally?!"
"Uh huh, and I’ll love you too, instead of your sisters."
Misty giggled for a reason that was unknown to Ash.
"Actually I tink my sisters weally do love me."
"Oh, well...uh...."
Misty looked at Ash expectantly as Ash blushed even more.
"I’ll-I’ll love ya anyways then."
"YAY!" Misty tackled Ash to the ground as Ash giggled underneath her. She got
up to
see what was so funny.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothin it just tickles."
"Oh yeah?" Misty looked at Ash evilly as she started to chase him around the
room. He
ended up getting caught of course, but he wasn’t too upset. Misty tickled his
tummy for a
while until he was out of breath.
"Hey Misty, how’d ya know bout that attack of Squiwtle’s? Ash said as he
tried to regain
his breath.
"Well I saw my mommy use our Squiwtle in a gym match and that’s one of da
attacks
she used."
"Well that was weally cool."
"Tanks."
"Hey Ash, Misty, come over here, this Bulbasaur is da coolest!" Richie called
to Ash and
Misty.
"I haven’t even played wit any Pokemon yet. Come on Misty let’s go," Ash
said
excitedly as he took a startled Misty by the hand and pulled her over to
Richie and the
Bulbasaur.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
"Wow! I didn’t realize there were going to be so many new Pokemon. And the
three new
starters for the Johto Region looked incredible, their evolutions are going
to be really
strong."
Delia and Sam had just finished watching the introduction to all the newly
discovered
Pokemon. It had been a long day but Delia seemed to have been invigorated
since she
saw the Pokemon. They walked down the hall, hand in hand as Delia expressed
her
opinions of the new Pokemon. Sam watched on in amusement at his girlfriends
excited
ramblings.
" I mean wasn’t that Totodile just....why are you looking at me like that?"
Delia
questioned Sam as he began to chuckle.
"No it’s nothing, just...why are you with me?" Sam didn’t mean for his
question to sound
as serious as it did. But judging by the look on Delia’s face it must have.
"Why?.." Delia took Sam’s hand and led him into a corner for some privacy.
"No Delia, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just...your so energetic,
beautiful, full of life.
You could probably have any man you want...why me? Why the boring, older
Professor
who lives down the street?"
Delia smiled tenderly at him. "Sam you are my other half. It’s true I once
had another
other half...Jake. But the difference was Jake never loved me. If he did he
wouldn’t have
left both Ash and I so he could go off with some floozy. You are my oldest
friend. You
know me better than anybody, so you must know that when I say I love you, I
mean it
with all my heart." No words were needed after this, as Sam and Delia’s lips
met in a
declaration of their love.
They parted slowly, staring into each other’s eyes.
"We better go get Ash, it’s getting late." Delia said dreamily.
"Your right." Delia and Sam headed down the hallway once again. As they
stopped to
wait for the elevator Sam began to chuckle to himself.
"What’s so funny now?" Delia asked curiously.
"Nothing, but you should have heard yourself going on and on back there about
how cool
the Pokemon looked and how you wouldn’t mind owning a few of them
yourself...""What’s wrong with that?" Delia was a little offended.
"Nothing is wrong with that, except for the fact that you always wonder where
Ash’s
Pokemon obsession came from."
Delia blushed as she realized the truth in Sam’s statement. She pushed him
playfully as
they entered the elevator.
"Let’s just go get Ash.......and I’m not that obsessed with Pokemon." Delia
said
defensively.
"Oh no not at all......look there’s a Jigglypuff about to sing!"
"Where?!" Delia asked excitedly as her head darted around in search of the
Pokemon.
Sam broke out into hysterics at Delia’s reaction as the doors to the elevator
closed. Delia
glared at Sam as he continued to laugh.
"Your right, I do know you really well."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
The Pokemon had all been returned back to their trainers a few minutes ago.
The
convention was now over and parents were coming to pick up their children
from
daycare.
"My mommy and daddy are gonna be here soon," Richie stated.
"Yeah mine too," Misty said.
"Well I had lots of fun with you guys," Ash admitted as Misty and Richie
smiled back at
him.
"Richie! Richie come here sweety," Richie’s mother called from the door.
"I gotta go now. Bye Misty...bye Ash." Richie said as him and Ash attempted a
sloppy
looking high five. Richie then ran over to his parents.
"Bye Wichie."
"Ash!"
"Misty!"
"My mommy!" Ash and Misty said simultaneously as they ran towards the door.
Ash ran up to his mother and gave her a big hug.
"Awww, did you miss me honey?"
"Yup!"
"Misty did you have fun? Did you make any new friends?" Misty’s mother
questioned
her daughter.
"Uh huh! I made a fwend and a boyfwend!"
"Did she just say boyfrend?" Misty’s father asked Misty’s mother cautiously.
"He’s wight over there. " Misty pointed to Ash as Misty’s mother, father,
Delia, and Sam
all looked on in shock while Ash blushed.
"I thought you said we wouldn’t have to deal with this until she was at least
a teenager,"
Misty’s father reminded Misty’s mother.
Luckily the situation was made a little less awkward when Ms. Krissy
approached the
families.
"Ash, Misty I have some special going away gifts for you." Ms. Krissy handed
them each
a small badge. One was blue and one was yellow. The blue one went to Ash and
the
yellow one went to Misty.
"Cool! A Pokemon badge!" Ash said as he admired his gift.
"That’s right, if you become a Pokemon trainer when you grow up you could
earn real
badges from gyms. Of course for now the badges just have a picture of a
different
Pokemon on them." Ms. Krissy stated as she went to distribute the rest of the
Pokemon
badges.
Misty looked a little disappointed with her badge. Ash noticed this right
away and
approached her.
"Misty, what’s wong?"
"I wanted to get a water Pokemon."
"Oh.....well here you could have mine...it’s not weally pwetty but it’s a
water Pokemon."
"Ahhh! My favowit! Tantacwool, it’s so beautiful!" Hearts appeared before
Misty’s eyes
as Ash thought it best to back away. Unfortunately for Ash he didn’t get too
far as Misty
ran up to him and kissed him sloppily on the lips. They quickly pulled apart
as they
looked at each other weirdly. Ash was the first one to crack.
"Eeewwww, your all wet, yuck! Ash said as he wiped his lips several times
while
laughing hysterically.
Misty broke out in laughter too. "Your all sticky, gwooooss!" Misty also
wiped her
mouth off.
The parents of the two children started laughing also as they watched the
very unromantic
display of affections between the toddlers.
Misty was now only giggling slightly as she realized she wanted to give
something else
to Ash.
"Here, I want you to have dis." Misty handed Ash her badge.
Ash looked at it happily. ‘This is much cooler den dat ugly Tentacwool’ Ash
thought as
he admired his new badge.
"Tanks!"
"Ash honey, we have to go it’s getting late," Delia told Ash.
"Kay. Um I gotta go."
"Me too. Fwends Foweva?" Misty said as she held out her hand.
"Best fwends foweva," Ash corrected as he ignored Misty’s hand and gave her a
big hug
instead.
They parted and both went to their respective families.
"Don’t forget, you can come to my house in Cewulean City. I have a new bike
that we
could take turns widing." Misty called out to Ash as she exited with her
mother and
father.
"Kay!" Ash called back.
"So honey, what badge did you get?"
Ash showed his mother and Prof. Oak the badge he traded with Misty.
"A Pikachu?" Sam questioned as Ash nodded happily.
"Well let’s get going. By the time we get home it will be dinner time. Prof.
Oak would
you like to join Ash and me for dinner?"
"I’d love to!"
"Mommy it was a joke, I didn’t mean to be bad, honest." Gary pleaded as his
mother
carried him out of the daycare center.
"No excuses Gary, there will be no dessert tonight for you. Maybe next time
you will
behave when your father and I are away." Gary started to cry as they exited
the room.
Ash smiled to himself, overhearing the conversation as they walked out of
Indigo Tower.
They headed towards their car as Delia talked to Sam about Ash and Misty.
"Can you believe it Sam? My Ash got himself a girlfriend at the age of three.
It took me
15 years before I had my first boyfriend." Delia laughed to herself.
"Yeah, but you know what the sad thing is Delia? Ash will probably never see
that little
girl again."
"Oh how wrong you were."
"Yeah and I can’t believe I actually offered you a ride on my bike. What was
I thinking?"
A 18 year old Ash and Misty started to laugh as Delia Ketchum finished
telling them
about the first time Ash and Misty met.
"Well you were only three." Sam reminded.
"I can’t believe I don’t remember any of that."
"It was a long time ago and your brain can only fit so much," Misty teased as
Ash began
to tickle her, making her laugh uncontrollably.
"Children, please," Delia said as she shook her head at the couple.
Ash got off of Misty as they tried to compose themselves.
"You know what Ash, you never did tell me about what made Gary so embarrassed
when
you threatened him that day."
Ash began to laugh thinking of the memory. "Oh, well you see Gary’s mom was
changing his diaper one day and somehow mid-change Gary escaped. He was
spotted by
several neighbors as he ran through the streets totally naked. He seemed to
be having a
pretty good time too. That is until he decided to stop and rest. When he went
to sit down
he accidentally sat down on a Weedle’s stinger."
"Oh nooo!" Misty began to laugh also.
"Oh yes. It isn’t one of Gary’s best memories." Sam stated as Delia buried
her head in his
shoulder as she tried to control herself from laughing too hard at Gary’s
misfortune.
Misty observed Sam and Delia’s behavior.
"You and Prof. Oak sounded so cute together. I wish I knew about you two
sooner,"
Misty admitted.
"We really weren’t ready to tell anyone yet. Besides if you were around us
long enough it
became pretty obvious anyway."
"Yeah Misty."
"Excuse me? I’m the one who told you about them, and you didn’t even believe
me. Talk
about being dense."
"If I’m so dense then why have you been after me for fifteen years." Ash
stated while
grinning cockily.
"Ash, you didn’t know because you’re too dense, but....I always had you." Ash
looked at
the smiling Misty as he leaned in close and pressed his lips to hers.
"I guess some things are just meant to be." Sam said as he watched Ash and
Misty kiss
lovingly.
"I guess so." Delia agreed as she took hold of Sam’s hand and squeezed it
gently.
A sly grin appeared on Sam’s lips. "You want to go over to my house? These
kids need
some privacy...and so do we." Delia giggled as Sam led her quietly out of the
house.
Ash and Misty separated from there embrace. Ash had a confused expression on
his face
as he looked around the room.
"Where’d they go?"


The End
