Tracey wanted Misty to come over and see a sketch, he wanted to give it to her. He had drawn it in the Orange Islands, it was of her and Ash when they were getting along that is. He always figured they’d get together. I’m glad they finally admitted there feelings. He didn’t know that they actually hadn’t really admitted their feelings to each other at all. And now this was bugging Misty. I wonder why Ash hasn’t said he loves me? And I failed to tell him also. I mean I know I do but I’m afraid to be the first one to say it. I hope its not just physical on his part. But I’m beginning to wonder I mean why didn’t he say he loved me yet? Misty sighed. God, I’m probably stressing for nothing. I mean we only went on one date so far. Yeah a date that ended up being very physical. Great here comes all the worry all over again. What if that was all Ash had wanted from me? Oh I’m being silly. I mean he did ask me out again so he must want more right? At least I sure as hell hope so. Cause if he doesn’t I made the biggest mistake of my life last night when I gave myself to him wholly in the heat of the moment without thinking what the consequences could be.

Gary was now talking to Tracey. “So Ash won the bet?” Gary shrugged, “Yes, he won. He always wins. It‘s not fair. He gets the girl. He does better at Johto and Kanto. He wins the Orange League and the Hoenn League(a/n Let‘s assume here ok people.) Luck follows that guy around!!” Tracey laughed, “You sure are jealous, is that why you bet him to kiss Misty? Were you trying to ruin their friendship?” Gary thought for a minute, “I guess, I never counted on it working that‘s for sure. You should a seem the video it was passionate! Lucky jerk!”

“Is that all true?” came a sad voice. “Tell me is what you guys just said true? Did Ash bet about me and record the winning victory?” Tracey looked at her she was now a mess. The tears were non stop. “I‘m sorry Misty but yes it is true.” Tracey said sympathetically. Gary was laughing inside, This is an even better way for her to find out! “Where is this so called video?” She asked. And does it have more than the kiss? And who was there watching when they....Oh my god....I was a show for some pervert! I’m gonna kill Ash! How could he do this to me? I love him so much. It was all a big act just so he could win a stupid bet.

Misty ran off crying, she went to a spot by the lake and sobbed to herself. Meanwhile Tracey called Ash, “Uh, Ash. Misty came over and well she sorta overheard me and Gary talking about the bet. She knows Ash. She looked awful. You gotta find her and make things right Ash.” Ash was freaking out. Oh no I’m such an idiot. How could I do this to such a sweet girl. I feel lower than low. I’m no better than Gary. I have to find her. I bet she is somewhere by water. Hmmm, I wonder.

Ash found Misty, she couldn’t hide from him. He knows her too well. I should have went straight home. Now I have to face him. I can’t take it! It hurts so bad! Ash began to speak to her. “Misty. I just want to say-” She cut him off, “What Ash? What do you wanna say? How could you?” She looked at him coldly. What have I done. Ash thought. Misty answered his thoughts with her next comments.

“Ash, I need to tell you exactly what you have done to me. First, I cannot believe after all the years we’ve been friends that you would except a bet like this and a bet about me! I mean I’m at least your friend or was. The reason that it hurts so bad Ash Ketchum is that all these years I‘ve held a deep secret from you. You don‘t know. You never have known and I should of told you before this. Maybe then you wouldn’t have agreed to something like this. At least I hope you wouldn’t. You don’t realize what you’ve done exactly do you. Well I’ll tell you, Ash Ketchum. You just ripped my heart out Ash! That‘s what you did! I hope you know Ash Ketchum I’m leaving something behind right now, my heart won’t be with me anymore! Cause you stole it from me! And if I can’t have you, I don’t need it so you just keep it Ash ok? Just keep it! Do you wanna know why? Huh, Ash Ketchum do you?”

She was screaming and her voice was scratchy. Tears were pouring down her cheeks and her eyes were swollen from crying, “Because I love you! Don‘t talk, I know you don‘t feel the same! If you did you would have never done this! I just can‘t believe you of all people would do this. It hurts so bad too Ash! Cause you don‘t even know just how much I love you! Damn it! Don‘t you worry though cause you‘ll never have to see me again! But I‘ll always love you Ash. I have so long, for so long. I just can‘t help but love you. I just so disappointed in you Ash. I used to think so highly of you. Just keep my heart Ash I don‘t need it. It‘s too painful to keep anyway.” She started to storm off. “Misty.” Ash cried weakly, trouble and heart fallen with tremendous guilt. She whipped around and looked at him with sorrow like he had never seen before in her aqua eyes. “Don‘t, just don‘t Ash.” And she walked away.

Misty was an utter mess she was going to pack but she was so depressed that she decided to just lock herself up in the guest room where she was staying. Why does it have to hurt so much? Why would he do this? I used to think so much of him. But now that face brings nothing but pain. I can’t believe I gave myself to him, too. That must have been a bonus for whoever got to watch that video. Oh my god! That would be Gary. Ewww! He saw us doing that? I hope not. I gotta find that video.

Misty went into Ash's room and began to throw his clothes everywhere as she searched through them. Nothing in there. Next she went to his closet and scattered everything in there all around his room as she did. Then finally in a box. She found a video labeled with her name. She put it in his VCR to watch it. Thank god. It ends with only the kisses before we went to the ground and did ‘other’ things in the heat of the moment. If this was only for a kiss why did he let it go so far? Was it because of the physical or does he care? He doesn't care he made a bet. Why Ash? Why? I don’t want to go. I want to forgive him and let him hold me but how can I? After this, how can I ever trust him like before?
