Disclaimer: No, pokemon still isn't under my ownership :(
The next morning was the day Cynthia was due back. After the period incident, Ash soon got on with life as normal. He played with the guys; he went pokemon hunting with the girls and sunbathed with a pokemon.
Despite having 'lost their voices' they had learnt to function without words and the rest of the gang soon learnt to read their expressions and hand gestures to know what they wanted.
As soon as the sun crept through the bedroom blind, Ash's eyes twitched and opened slowly. He stretched and turned to the side to come face to face with his girlfriend. He smiled and pressed a soft kiss to her lips, causing her to stir. When she groggily opened her orbs, she got a huge surprised.
'Aghhh!' Misty yelled and shot up, banging her head on the bunk above, just like Ash had done the previous morning.
'What's the matter?' Ash leapt out of bed and held his fists out in case the room had an intruder. 'Why did you scream?' he questioned, noticing she was staring and pointing at him.
Ash decided to look down and got a shock. He noticed his hands had gotten more tanned and manly. His arms had black hair on them rather than ginger like yesterday. The teenage boy looked down at his body and saw he looked the same as before the body swapping.
'I'm back!' he jumped up and down excitedly before reaching up to feel his hair. His raven locks had returned! 'Wow! My hair is the same as before!'
He ran over to the mirror to look at his reflection and started posing in it.
'Look, Mist! Black hair, tanned skin, brown eyes…' he paused to flex his arm muscles proudly. 'Big guns… I'm back baby!'
Misty rolled her aquamarine orbs at her boyfriend but couldn't help but leap about beside him.
'Check it out!' she grinned, deciding to copy his actions. 'Ginger hair, aquamarine eyes, pale skin… I'm back too!'
She was so happy to be in her own body again that she leapt onto Ash's back and hugged his neck from behind.
'I'll miss my boyish body but it's good to be a girl again!' she grinned, her face expression of pure ecstasy.
Upon hearing the loud ruckus coming from the teenager's bedroom, in came the rest of the group, slightly cranky from being woken at the crack of dawn.
'Why all the shouting?' yawned Cilan who's green tufts were drooping groggily and stretching his tired bones.
Brock scratched his stomach sleepily before rubbing the blurriness out of his eyes. He grinned at he noticed something.
'Hey! You guys have your voices back!' he observed, his eyes brightening from drained orbs to energetic ones.
Misty gave him the look that her and Iris were so famous for.
'Well done, braniac!' she hissed at him but Ash stopped her cutting comments by throwing his arms around his girlfriend's neck.
'Yes, we have!' he kissed her shyly on the cheek seeing as everyone was watching him. 'And now if you'll excuse us, we have a lot to discuss.'
Before anyone could question what the couple needed to talk about, Misty got her mallet out and swung it about her head. On queue the sleepy group turned energetic and ran out of the room, fearing the mallet of doom would attack them.
'Aw!' she cooed once the door had been slammed behind the panicking group. 'I've missed you!'
Ash looked at her with his girlfriend's famous eye narrow while she kissed the massive weapon.
'Okay…' Ash began awkwardly. 'Well I'll leave you two to have some romantic time.' He grinned at his unusual other half while she held the mallet in her arms fondly.
'No! Don't go Ashy!' she dropped her weapon and grabbed onto her boyfriend's arm. 'I just wanted to say that this has been one of the best experiences of my life. I really feel close to you now and I realized something because of it.'
Ash looked at her with those large, warm chocolate orbs of his.
'What did you realize, babe?' he asked, holding onto her hand and stroking each individual finger just like she had done.
A red streak of a blush appeared across the bridge of her nose and she looked deep into those orbs that she adored so very much.
'Well for starters I've realized how much I love you.' Her eyes filled with tears at the sincerity of her words. 'And two…' she paused to wink at her boyfriend. 'I love it when you call me babe!'
Just like all conversations between the young and in love couple, this one too ending in them engaging in a kissing session. Between them passionately locking lips, they spoke of the things they enjoyed and didn't like about the experience. Of course, Ash bought up the period as being one of the worst things about their heart swapping adventure.
'Aw but you were so brave in the end!' her eyes filled with proud tears as she reflected on how confident he became with changing the pad after just a few tries.
Like all compliments, this one ended in yet another kissing session. They were just starting to get a little passionate when the door burst open. Misty was on top of her boyfriend's lap and kissing him on his jaw line when someone walked in.
'Hi kids!' Cynthia greeted cheerfully as she entered the room. 'Did you have a fun week?'
After she asked this question, she noticed the couple that were getting quite intimate with each other. Cynthia paused in her tracks as she saw the position they were in.
'Uh…' she began awkwardly, playing with her long and flowing blonde locks.
Misty stopped kissing her boyfriend to pull a horrified look at him. Ash returned the gesture before answering the champion's question.
'Well…' he began, glancing from his girlfriend to the older woman standing in the doorway. 'This week has certainly been an adventure!'
Cynthia just stood there with a confused look on her face and unsure what to say as Ash and Misty just laughed and laughed.
The End.
