Me: Hiya guys! I'm back! Ash: Hello, Aubrey. Me: Skweeeeee! It's Ash! Ash I love yooooooooou!! Ash: ... ** She Hates Reality -- Today was a cold, winter's night. I was busy watching TV with popcorn, since it's my day off from work. Someone knocked on my door. I stood up and opened it. Who would visit me this late at night? When I opened the door, I was astonished. It was Ash with his goofy grin plastered on his face. He quickly hugged me and then kissed me. Then I asked why he did that. He ignored my question and led me outside to where my garden is. Then, I was awed at the scenery before us. I stared at the beautiful full moon with clear skies and stars twinkling beside it. Ash stared at me with his deep jet black eyes. I stared into them as well. And it was like we were in a staring contest. Right then and there, it felt like time stood still. Suddenly, I said, “This is beautiful.” He replies with, “This is nothing compared to your beauty.” A sweet smile formed in my lips. I blushed as he leaned in closer and drowned me with his passionate and mesmerizing kiss. It felt so good. I wish we could kiss like this forever. Sadly, we had to part from each other. And, out of the blue, snow came down from the sky, making the already romantic atmosphere, more romantic. But, it started getting colder. I was shivering. Ash absentmindedly took off his jacket and placed it around me. I smiled at his gesture. He smiled back. He put his arms around my shoulder as we continued watching the moon. That’s what I thought when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked at Ash and he was staring at me again. I studied his face intently. He had a cute nose, adorable cheeks, and his lips… Oh, those lips… But, his eyes. It showed sadness and worry mixed with excitement and eagerness. I can’t explain it though. It’s like something’s going to happen right here… right now… “Ash, are you okay?” He snapped from his trance and blushed as he realized what he was doing. He turned back to face the moon, stupidity and embarrassment evident in his face. I turned and faced the moon as well. “M-Misty… I have something… important to… ask y-you.” I faced him again, but he was still staring at the moon. “Yes? What is it, Ash?” He got something from his pocket and gave it to me. I took it from his hands and analyzed it. It was a blue box, covered with a big blue ribbon. Then I faced him... Only... He's gone. How rude. He just went away. But I slowly opened the box, thinking that this might be one of his pranks. When I opened it though, inside was a Blue Feather and a note. A Blue Feather? In some countries and towns, a Blue Feather means... proposal. I remembered the time when I told him about the Blue Feather. We were about 14 years old back then. He said that it was silly. I said that it was not. Then we continued fighting over it. Thinking about it now, I felt really silly fighting and arguing with him over the smallest of things. Then I remembered the blue box. I quickly blushed and I read the note that comes with the feather. I read the note aloud, unaware of the surroundings around me. “Will you marry me?” And then I could feel a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and there he was, blushing furiously in a thousand shades of red. “S-so… What do you say?” He got on one knee and touched my free hand, holding it close to his heart. “Will you stay with me… For the rest of yours, and my life?” I cried. My emotions got the better of me. I broke down and hugged him tight. A smile crept on my face as I answered. “Yes. Yes Ash…” “Forever?” “And a day.” I separated from his embrace and looked in his eyes again. It showed sincerity, happiness, and love. I was about to kiss him when… BOOM! Fireworks. I looked up at the sky and saw fireworks. Beautiful, spellbinding fireworks. “Did you plan all this out?” “Yes, just for you.” My emotions got the better of me again. I cried into his arms. “Thank you.” I whispered, audible enough so he could hear it. He cradled me in his arms. “Misty?” I looked up as he said my name. I had a tear-stained face. “Please don’t cry. You know how I hate seeing you cry.” I composed myself and tried not to cry. But I couldn’t help it. I was too happy… Overjoyed, in fact. He put his hands near my cheeks and rubbed off my tears. He cupped my chin and pulled me into one of his wondrous kisses. “You look much better when you smile. Please smile for me Misty.” I finally stopped myself from crying. And then I smiled. It was not a forced smile. I smiled, because I was happy. I felt at peace with him. He smiled back. It was full of sincerity. And, I knew that he really loved me. He really did… “Misty. I love you.” I embraced him again, ignoring the fact that it was snowing cats and dogs now. “I love you too, Ash.” He embraced me back lovingly. I wished that this would last forever. We smiled, comfortable at each other’s embrace. We turned to face the sky. The fireworks were gone now, but the beautiful moon was still there. This is the greatest day of my – ** Riiiiiing!! Riiiiing!! “Aaaaaah!” I sat up, surprised at the alarming sound. Riiiiiiing!! Riiii – I turned my alarm clock off. Then it suddenly hit me. It was all a dream… I lied back to my bed as tears were forming in the brim of my eyes. Sometimes I wish that I could just live in my dream than in reality. I can’t accept reality. I won’t accept reality. I don’t want to accept reality. Because, in reality, Ash loved someone else... He didn't love me... He only thought of me as his... ...friend. ** Me: Please don't hate me. I really do support Pokeshipping. Just wanted to write this. Haha. Ash: ... Me: Do you hate me? Ash: ...No. Me: Then that means you loooooooooooove me!! Wheeeeeeeee!! Ash: I gotta get away from that lunatic...
