Misty: ANICA DOES NOT OWN POKEMON!
An awkward silence filled the room as both trainers look at each other speechless.
"What are you doing here, Ash?" Misty asked finally breaking the silence, much to Ash and Pikachu's relief. Said Pokemon, took of running towards the Gym leader and jumped into her hands in greeting.
'Pika!' He said as he started to cuddle in the girls hold.
"Hello to you too, Pikachu!" Misty said with a light giggle as she started to scratch behind Pikachu's ears, who squealed in pleasure.
"Misty," Ash called out as he lifted himself from the floor.
Misty looked up at him, how long had she wished to hear his voice and here he was calling for her. She couldn't be happier at the events, he finally came, after years and years of waiting for him; he was here. Misty tried to hold her happy grin that would come out at any moment, she didn't want to look like a weirdo in front of him, oh no. She wasn't going to go so low as to embarrass herself at that level.
She was after all the mature one out of the two and was always the calmed one in their 'relationship'. He was the determined, dense and oblivious boy, who loved to battle and help Pokemon with a passion. She was the calm, head-strong, short tempered, thought she would never admit it and the one that keep her feet on the ground with reality.
"What are you doing here, Ash?" She asked once more, trying to regain control of the conversation and not going of on her thoughts.
"I came to visit you, Mist," Ash exclaimed but corrected himself after an indignant cry from Pikachu. "Sorry, I meant, we came to visit you, Mist."
"Why?! You never visit, so what makes today so special?" Misty questioned turning her head away from him. His lack of appearances in her life, had taken a tool on her and she would be lying if she said she wasn't hurt by it.
"It's your birthday, of course it's a special day!" Ash inquired and Misty's head snap up to send a glare at him. He flinched back a bit but looked on in curiosity.
"So? It's my Birthday, so what? You've never come to my Birthday's on pass years. You never gave a visit or even called. What makes today so different, from my other Birthdays?" Misty exclaimed, she was angry and irritated. 'That excuse will not help him now,' She thought as she continued her glare on the raven-haired trainer who looked as pale as now at the moment.
Ash looked from one place to another not being able to resist her glare, he couldn't tell her it was a mistake he ended up in the city to begin with. He was on his way to another city to get a new Gym Badge, he had in no mind to stop at Cerulean City at all. Even if the Sensational Sisters had called, like they did, and he was already at the city, he was sure he wouldn't have come. It was all because of that Mist that made him get lost, if it wasn't for that he was sure he wouldn't be here right now.
Sure, he missed the red-headed Gym leader but his dreams of becoming a Pokemon Master were also presented on his mind, he had been planning on going back for a visit at the end of the month but those plans changed once he got to Cerulean.
"I got lost?" He replied but it sounded like a question.
Misty's heart fell along with her hopes, she was hoping he decided to come to see her because he missed her. She knew that getting her hopes up was bad but what else could she do, she hadn't seen him in so long and he showed up, of course she would get her hopes up.
"Oh..." Misty exclaimed as she pursed her lips together, she was not going to let him see her sad. Sure they were best friends, but she was the strong one and no matter what she wasn't going to let him see her in her vulnerable state, not in a million years.
"Is that all?" Misty found herself saying in a harsh tone but didn't regret it, even when she saw Ash flinch at the tone of her voice.
"Um, kinda," Ash said lamely. Pikachu sweat-dropped at it's trainer, while Misty's anger increased.
"Well, since you were so lost, now you know where you are, so you can LEAVE!" Misty exclaimed pointing to the door, her anger flaring with every second.
Ash's eyes widen at the implications of her statement. "But Misty, that doesn't mean, I don't want to hang with you! I missed you!"
Misty's expression soften a bit but she did her best to not let the comment get to her, they were just friends.
"No, you didn't. You're just saying that... If you really missed me, you would've visit, called or even write. What's so difficult about doing that, Ketchum?" Misty said in a soft voice but it got higher at the end of her question.
Ash lower hid head, making his hat shadow over his eyes. He didn't bring his head up, not wanting to make eye contact with the red-head girl that was glaring angrily at him with a hint of hurt in her green irises.
To be truthful, he did wanted to visit, write to her, and keep communication with the Gym Leader but he didn't know how to face her after so many years of not having connections between each other. He distance himself from her with the excuse that he was accomplishing his wish to be able to write or visit. The excuse seemed to work more so for her than himself, since in the beginning he made it and followed the excuse but later on it became hard to see that, that was the only reason why he was distancing himself in the first place.
After years of traveling the answer came and he started to deal with it, his feelings, not letting them out or know for the world or even her. But maybe, just maybe, this could be his chance to change all that. He was having communication with her after so long.
"I just, didn't know how to face you," Ash mumbled and Misty furrowed her eye brows in confusion.
"Speak up, Ash! I can't hear you."
"I said, I didn't know how to face you," Ash said once more but louder this time, he turned his head the other way not wanting her to see his blush.
"Huh?!" Misty blinked in shock as the words clicked in her head. She looked at him in question. "Why?"
"Because, we haven't talked in so long, I didn't know if you wanted to see me," Ash cried out desperately and the girl's jaw dropped along with her hands. Pikachu landed on the floor and he scurried off to one of the corners watching the scene, not that either trainer would notice.
"Of course I would want to see you, Ash! You're my best friend," 'And the object of my affections,' She added to herself in her head as she stared at the boy, who's eyes were wide open in surprise.
Ash's eyes went back to their normal side as he's face turned series. "Is that all I am to you, Mist?" He questioned, the seriousness on his voice made her stare at him in shock. How was she supposed to respond to that?
"Excuse me?!" She squeaked out in other shock. 'He did not just ask that!' She thought.
"Is all I am to you, is just a friend and I don't mean it in best friends either," He interrupted as he saw her open her mouth to retaliate.
Misty closed her mouth and looked at the floor in silence. She didn't understand where all of this was coming from.
"Because, I would like it if we... uh, were more," Ash whispered the last part, his seriousness and confidence going down the drain as he finished his sentence. A heavy silence followed after making the boy shift from one foot to another.
The tension in the room doubled and an awkward silence hung in the air.
Without a word, Misty walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, she brought her lips to his in a sweet kiss. The trainer's eyes widen at the bold move but they closed after a moment. He wrapped his arms around her waist an pulled her closer to him. All those years of denying, fighting and pain from being away from each other, flew out of his mind as he held her in his arms in complete ease.
Misty smiled into the kiss, all those years of feeling replaced with a new traveling partner and all those years of dropping hints and him being to clueless for his won good, were rewarded at that moment. Maybe it wasn't so bad, that she had to wait for him. After all, as the saying goes, 'If you love something let it go if it comes back it's yours if not it was never yours in the first place'. But Ash came back, he came back to her and she had no intention of letting him go.
From behind the door to the 'locked' room, three girls were spying on the teenagers. They had never locked the door to begin with, they just assumed.
They were happy for her little sister's new found love. They had seen how depressed she was and couldn't help but want to help.
Sure they were more of the get then the give kind people but she was family and no matter how annoying each one was to the other, they still held their family relationship dearly. if one goes down, s do they others but they would never admit that out loud.
They watched as the couple kissed before stepping away from the door and walking back to the party downstairs, after all the guest needed to know why the main person of the party wasn't even there.
So, they walked away from the room, proud that their worked had payed off.
And it all happened because of a Mist.
Me: Okay, so I had the ending a little different in my head but I think I like this one too. Not sure.
Anyway, sorry if the Sensational Sister's characters were wrong, I didn't see the episode where they appeared in but I find it that they would be like the secluded kind of people when it came to their family relationship. :) Correct me if I'm wrong thought but I'm not sure if it would make a difference thought, since I'm not good in keeping character but I will try my best! :)
