Halo Effect Part 2
By Totodile
That’s right I’m making it my mission to get her alone and kiss her before we get to Olivine City. We are back on the road now and it’s getting dark. She looks kinda tired. She’s kinda dragging her feet but she never says anything about being too tired.
Ash: Misty, you look worn out.
Misty: Oh I’m ok, Ash. But thanks for being so sweet.
Ash: Uhhh. (snap out of it! I say to myself.) Brock, shouldn’t we stop and camp out for the night?
Brock: Yeah let’s find a good spot.
Misty: Yeah Ash, why don’t you pick the spot.
Brock: This looks like a good spot.
Misty: What do you think Ash?
Ash: What about by that river over there?
Misty: Brock, you can sleep here but me and Ash are gonna set up camp by the lake.
Brock: I’m coming.
Misty:(under her breathe) Damn!
Ash: Misty, you ok?
Misty: Yes.
Brock: Ash could you go get some fire wood?
Misty: I don’t want you wandering around in the dark by yourself.
Ash: I’ll be fine Misty. (See here she goes again being overly concerned about my well being) I’ll be right back.
Misty: I’m coming with you! Brock hold Togepi!
Ash: Alright.
Misty: I don’t need my friends getting hurt! You shouldn’t be in the woods at night in the dark. In fact hang on a sec.......
She walks over to Brock and mallets him, he passes out. She then rejoins me.
Misty: That’s better.
Ash: Why did you do that?
Misty: Because if anything happened to yoo.....I mean if anything happened to any of my friends I’d never forgive myself and Brock shouldn’t be telling you to go out in the dark woods alone like that!
Ash: Calm down it’ll be ok.
She just slipped there. Don’t think I didn’t notice that. Maybe I can kiss her while we are looking for wood. We are walking along and she grabs my hand.
Misty: I just don’t want us to get separated.
She squeezes my hand a little. Her hand is warm and comforting. It send shivers down my back. I could walk with her forever. I really miss her fiery temper though. Sometimes I try to provoke her but it never seems to work.....but maybe....
Ash: You know I’m a big boy I can take care of myself. I don’t need you out here with me.
Misty: I don’t really care what you say, Ash. If anything ever happened to yoo......uh...I mean any of my friends, I’d just die inside.
Ash:(grinning) That’s the second time you slipped up Misty!
Misty:(sweatdrop): What do you mean?
Ash: Oh never mind. So let’s see if we can find the wood.
Misty: Ok.
We walk along and gather up wood, my hands are full so I can’t hold her hand. She reaches out to grab my shirt and hangs on to it. She is standing really close behind me. I can feel her breath on the back of my neck. It makes me tense up a little but then I relaxed, we are just walking. We head back to camp and I drop the wood on the ground. Brock uses it to start a fire. Misty sits next to me on a rock by the fire while Brock is making our dinner. She is looking up at the stars all dreamy eyed. She just sighed to herself. I decided to ask her to walk with me.
Ash: Hey Misty wanna go for a walk?
Misty: Sure.
We walked along and I grabbed her hand.
Ash: We don’t wanna get separated. (good excuse huh?)
Misty: Ash....can I tell you something?
Ash: Sure what Misty?
Misty: Well I just want you to know that I never meant all the mean things I used to say to you. You really are a great trainer. You just let it go to your head sometimes.
Ash: I know and thanks. You know I never meant all the hurtful things I said about you either. You are not ugly at all......in fact you are quite beautiful.
Misty:......YOU....YOU think I’m beautiful?
Ash: Actually I always have.
Misty: Well thanks. You know I always thought you were a cutie.
Ash:(blushing) I......thanks Mist.
Misty: Sure, Ash.
She says my name alot. I love the way it rolls off her tongue. She has the sweetest voice it’s like music to my ears. I could listen to her for hours and hours.
Misty: You know when I was a kid in Cerulean, I used to go outside on clear nights like this and look at the stars. They’re beautiful, huh Ash?
Ash: Yeah, beautiful.
I was not looking at the stars when I said this however.
Misty: Ash.....you are not looking at the sky.
Ash: Uhhhh.......but it is beautiful.
Misty: Yeah.
She’s looking at me real close and staring into my eyes.
Misty: You know Ash(she sounds real quiet and a little breathless) I love your brown eyes, they are so intense.
Ash: Well your eyes are alluring.....no captivating....hell they are gorgeous.
She brushed a hair out of my face and was still staring into my eyes with those sapphire gems that are her eyes and I could swear they just sparkled. She smiled rather shyly. It was real cute. She was getting closer to my face. Next thing I know she’s right just inches from my mouth with her lips. She tilted her head slightly and was so close to my lips....I closed my eyes and leaned toward her to welcome her kiss.....
Brock: Dinner’s rea.......uh....hey what’s going on? You guys got something to tell me guys?? Are you guys a couple or something?
Misty: Maybe if you would just go away.....You know your damn timing couldn’t be worse.
She was my fiery girl now and I just had to kiss her. Suddenly not caring whether Brock saw or not I grabbed her and pulled her to me and kissed her. She kissed back and I could feel what felt like a thunderbolt from Pikachu only it was......it was like a pleasant thunderbolt not the usual painful ones .
Brock: Ok, I can take a hint. Don’t blame me if the food is cold when you finally eat it.
I didn’t hear what he said and frankly I really didn’t care we sank to the ground and held each other still kissing passionately. Finally of course we had to reluctantly stop so we could breath.
Misty: Wow.
Ash: Yeah, so are you hungry?
Misty: Yeah but not for food!
She kissed me again even more eagerly. We stayed like that for what seemed an eternity.
Ash: So will you be my girl?
Misty: I always was you just never knew it.
Ash: Well, what about your bike?
Misty: What bike? Who cares about a bike when Ash Ketchum is the one you get to kiss every day?
I smiled at her. She grinned back and we kissed again. I think Brock gave up on us because when we finally returned to camp he was asleep. We put our sleeping bags next to each other.
Misty: Sweet dreams, Ash.
Ash: Sweet dreams to you too Mist.
Misty: All the more sweet now that they have come true.
Ash: Aw Misty if I only kissed you sooner.
Misty: Well I could’ve waited longer if I’d have known just how sweet kissing you was gonna be. Goodnight, Ash.
Ash: Goodnight, oh and Mist.......I love ya.
Misty: I love ya too Ash. always have. Goodnight.
Ash: Goodnight, sweetheart.
The End or as they say.....That’s all folks!
