Notes: I had quite a lot of fun writing this ^^ I figure this was the Ash/Misty interaction back in the good ol' Johto days, you know what I mean?

"Stop, Ash! FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING!"

"Shut up! I do too!"

"Can I try using the PokeNav now-"

"NO!"

Ash, Misty and Max were in the midst of Viridian Forest, and as usual with Ash leading, they were hopelessly lost. Misty slumped to the grass, her hands running through her red hair in mocking despair. Max meanwhile, was no match for the two arguing teens. Whenever he tried to speak up, he was drowned out like a magikarp in the sea.

"Where did May and Brock go again?" Max moaned, joining in Misty's little thunderstorm cloud.

"I told you, they went to Pewter City ahead of us, since someonewas too lazy to get his arse up and get going!" Misty retorted loudly, placing Ash in the spotlight.

"What! You expect me not to be tired? I just came back from saving the freaking world!" Ash defended, tending to get up in Misty's face as all their arguments ended up.

"Yeah, with me and Brock's help!" Misty shouted back, Ash's defense only sparking of hers.

"I'm still the 'Chosen One!'"

"SO WHAT?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SO WHAT! IT'S SO EVERYTHING!"

"Guys, maybe we should-"

"NO!"

Max slammed his forehead against a tree. He could no longer handle being around people that argued this much. All his attempts ended up the same way. Ash and Misty argued about things that had nothing to do with the current situation, and whenever Max spoke up, he was faced with a harsh, cold "NO!"

There had to be some way, some kind of magical...little chant that could make them both shut up! Max couldn't stand it! How had Brock possibly managed to tolerate this? He must've secretly put earplugs in his ears or something!

Max racked his mind for possibilities.

1.) Interrupting. (That had so not worked.)

2.) Earplugs (He had none in his possession.)

3.) ... (He had no idea)

He was doomed! DOOMED! His ears would possibly start bleeding! Calm down, Max.

That's when Max's big mouth saved him for once. "Oh, let me ponder on the chances of you two ending up together..."

"What!"

"Max!"

Max grinned. Wow, it worked! That's all it takes?

"Perhaps it's...perhaps it's destiny," Max remarked wisely, stroking an imaginary beard on his chin.

"I see a black eye in your destiny, Max!" Misty screamed, her somehow gentle blue eyes glaring at Max, reminding him more of a raging storm than peaceful at all.

"Well-well my destiny isn't important here, it's YOURS!" With that comment, Max made a run for it.

"MAX, GET BACK HERE!" Misty and Ash managed to yell at the exact time, reaching for Max with hands like predators raging after him.

Wow, I didn't think I would get this far...uh...what do I do now?

On cue, Max escaped the dark forest and jumped out into the clear night sky, twinkling stars shining and all.

"When I get a hold if him I'll-!" Misty got interrupted in her rant as she finally reached Max and grabbed his shoulders dangerously.

"Wait! Guys, look!" Max said, not fazed by Misty's actions at all. His small finger pointed upwards into the sky.

It was a full moon that lit up the night sky's spirit.

"Shiny..." Ash commented, forgetting the past events.

Misty sent him an annoyed glance, feeling the need to hit him, but she caught ahold of what he was staring at as well. The moon did look very pretty that night...

"Oh, and you two are tied together by destiny."

"SHUT UP!"

"Uh, M-May! Brock! HELP!"
