Okay, here's my first attempt at a Linkin Park songfic. And I don't own Pokémon or the song Don't Stay by Linkin Park. ******************************************************************************************** He thought he had it all. He thought his life was perfect, until he saw the truth. The truth about his girlfriend May. He knew he should have changed his mind when he had the chance. He never knew that this was May's intention: To take control of Ash's life, to turn him into something else. Ash could have had Misty, but he rejected her at the last second, going for May instead. Until he realized what May was doing. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon in Pallet Town, and Ash was having breakfast, when May came downstairs. "So Ash, what's the surprise you have for me?" May asked in the fake sweet voice that she used on him all the time. "Oh, you'll see soon enough. And nothing will ruin it!" After breakfast, Ash snuck out of the house and ran to Cerulean City. He got to the Gym and he saw Misty. "Misty, it's almost time for the you-know-what!" Ash said. "Hurry up or we're gonna be late!" "Okay Ash, but tell me a little more about what you have planned for her." Misty said. "I'm gonna sing a song just for her. It's the perfect song for her. And at the end, it'll be over between us. Then, our relationship can begin." "You mean you still love me?" Misty asked. "I thought you hated me. It seemed that way when you picked May over me." "I never knew that May would act like this. Now I see that her testing me is pushing me away. (Yeah, had to add that from Pushing Me Away) And I also see that you're the only one for me." "Oh Ash, I still love you too. And I want to be with you." "After this, we'll be together. I promise." About 10 minutes later, they left for Pallet Town. May was already waiting at the park by the stage. Everything was set up. "Ash?!" May said in disbelief. "You brought HER too?!" "Yes May, and you're about to find out why." He went on top of the stage and the music began. Then he started to sing the lyrics: Sometimes I Need to remember just to breathe Sometimes I Need you to stay away from me Sometimes I'm In disbelief I didn't know Somehow I Need you to go Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay Sometimes I Feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I Just feel like screaming at myself Sometimes I'm In disbelief I didn't know Somehow I Need to be alone Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay I don't need you anymore I don't want to be ignored I don't need one more day Of you wasting me away ::even louder:: I don't need you anymore I don't want to be ignored I don't need one more day Of you wasting me away With no apologies Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay When the song was finally over, Ash looked at May. She had tears in her eyes. Misty, on the other hand, looked extremely happy. Ash also felt happy. He now knew that him and Misty were meant to be. "Well May, that's your surprise. And here's another: I'm through with you! Just get out of my life for good!" May just ran out of the park without saying a word. Ash went over to Misty. "See Misty? Now we can be together. And no one, not even May, will ever separate us. I just wished I realized that you were the one for me sooner. Then we could have already been together." "No big deal, Ash." Misty said. "At least we're together now. That's all that matters." So Ash and Misty walked out of the park, ready to go on their first date. Looks like Ash got Misty in the end. Too bad for May. ::does that anime taunt where you pull an eyelid down and stick out tongue:: Er…just ignore me and my hatred for May and review! ^_^
