Ok, So I
just need to say, this is the most crucial episode in the story. Also, the
song, Tears on My Pillow, is from Grease, so just get over the fact that you
didn’t write it. Also, PLEASE, realize that Candice will not fall into the
ocean to her death because of tripping on her kimono or not being able to walk
in her platform shoes…
Chapter 5:
A Kiss from Me to You
---------------------
“Misty… It’s a gift from us to you.
Try it on, I’ve been working on it all week.” Sarah
said enthusiastically as her friend moped around. Caye noticed right away that
something was wrong.
“Hey, Sare,
why don’t we all take a trip to the town? I mean, we’ve hardly seen it. And
Misty, you can tell us where you went last night, I woke up and noticed that
you and Ash still didn’t come back… from only Heaven knows where.” She added.
Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door. It was Ash. Misty froze and found
herself suddenly needing to use the bathroom. “Great, just the person I need to
speak to.” He said as Misty ran to the bathroom, to throw her bad feelings up.
“What is all of this about,
Ash?” Brock said as he entered the room. “I have noticed you and Misty moping
about all day.”
“I… I am so confused.” Was all
could come out of Ash’s mouth. “Could you guys, maybe, leave for a second?”
They nodded and walked out of
the room, muttering words that Ash couldn’t understand. Misty walked out of the
bathroom and stared at him.
“So, what happened to the
“sunset with Sarah” plan? You don’t expect ME to tell her, do you?”
“I came to say I was leaving. I
need to get on with my life. I plan to leave after the Festival tonight.” He
said, his eyes moist from the coldness in Misty’s eyes bearing into his own.
“Well. I guess you better pack
you bags.” With that, she walked out of the room, and left Ash standing along.
----------------
Later, at the spa, the girls met
up with Daisy, to get ready for the big festival. She was beaming with
excitement.
“Girls, I have some, like,
important news. There is going to be a dance on the beach after the kimono
show. I suggest we go. Maybe love will like, spark?” She said, starry-eyed.
“That will be fun, and we should
have enough time to change into more suitable clothing than our dresses and
your kimono.” Sarah said to Misty.
“I’d like that a lot.” She said
with a smile.
--------------
That evening, Caye walked around
the Boardwalk (where the Festival was happening mainly) with Dan, to check that
everyone had finished their finishing touches. He put his arm around her and
they chatted for a little bit.
“So, how is operation
Make-The-Impossible-Possible working out?” He said, jokingly.
“Ugh… They’re so stubborn. I just wish I knew what
happened last night at the beach. I’m beginning to lose hope for them.” Caye
replied.
“Well, I can’t wait for tonight,
Sarah has spent so much time on Misty’s kimono. Ash won’t be able to resist.”
“What about Candice? We can’t
leave her out of the picture.” Caye said, sadly.
“I highly doubt Ash would choose
her over Misty. But what about us? I mean you haven’t
exactly been obsessing over us recently.” Dan said. Caye stopped walking, but
held his hand to make him stop walking.
“Your right,
Dan. I’ve been so caught up in Misty and Ash’s relationship,
I just haven’t put enough energy into us.” She said as she moved closer to him.
“You are amazing,” he said
softly as he kissed her. “You know that, right?”
“Now I do. Come on, lets get back.” She said when she finally broke away.
--------------
Ash was walking around the town,
with Pikachu perched up on his shoulders. Brock,
Daisy, Violet, Dan, Jess, and Lily were all walking down the Boardwalk, where
Dan and Caye were walking before. Caye smiled at Ash, who seemed to be having a
better time not thinking about Misty.
When they walked past a few
girls with kimonos in their hands, Ash stopped; he decided to follow them,
possibly able to talk to Misty again. He slipped away, and entered a room with
a bunch of girls and their friends who had designed their kimonos. He saw a
curtain which on top read, “Misty Waterflower” in
big, bold lettering.
“Ash…” A voice came from inside.
“I know you are standing right next to my curtain.” Misty’s sweet voice said.
“I don’t want you to leave tomorrow. I don’t know what came over me.”
Ash smiled. “I won’t, don’t
worry, Mist.”
“Another
thing, Ash.” She said softly.
“Hmm?”
He said in a very relaxed voice.
“What did you want to tell me?”
She said.
“I wanted to say that I told
Candice to leave us alone, forever. So I
could spend time with the one I truly love.” He said and he felt himself very
close to the figure behind the curtain.
“I will see you later, Ash.” She
said with a smile and a blush.
--------------
Ash caught up with the guys and
Misty’s sisters at the stage where the Kimono Contest would take place. The
curtain rustled and Caye jumped out, with a microphone, and instead of jeans
and a t-shirt, a black halter dress that went down to her knees. Her hair was
down, and it was curly and went down to her lower back. She looked quite happy
to be back on the stage were she met Dan.
“Hello, friends and, well,
people who I don’t know! Welcome to the 7th annual Festival of
Lanterns Kimono Show!” She said to a huge applause. “Thank you. Now, before we
get started, I want to call to the stage, all of our designers! Lets hear it!” She said as many townspeople came to the
stage, lead by Sarah. They bowed and walked off the stage.
“Ok, now its time for the first
kimono dancer, Hikora!” She said as a young girl probably the age of 14 danced
out of the curtains and showed off her beautiful pink kimono. Her dark blue hair
was in a bun, and little forget me nots were place in
her hair. She smiled and threw, out of a basket she was holding, hundreds of
the tiny blue flowers that infest your garden unless you use chemical help.
Everyone clapped and Hikora took a bow and pranced back into the curtain.
“Our next kimono dancer is a
three time winner; let’s hear it for, Candice!” A huge applause set off when
Candice danced onto the stage and showed off her gorgeous dark red kimono. Her
long blonde hair was in a pretty knot and she had 3 dark red roses stuck in it.
When she reached the edge of the stage, she threw 5 roses into the air and spun
into the curtain. The applause was still going and finally quieted down when
Caye the EMCEE spoke again. After 2 other contestants, Caye made the last
announcement.
“Welcome our final kimono
dancer, a girl who is not from Tiki, but from its sister city,
“Thanks to our
amazing crew and talented talents in the show! But
also, thanks to you guys for supporting us!” Caye said as she took a bow
and all of the people involved came on the stage and took a bow.
“But, of course, it is time for
the judges’ decisions.” Caye said as the audience quieted down. The judges
smiled and stepped on the stage. One, was Violet Waterflower, who was in a purple colored gown. The two
others were two townspeople Ash didn’t know and suspected one was the Mayor and
his daughter.
“My decision,” The Mayor’s
daughter said, “was hard to make. I have chosen to vote for Candice Uhaka because of her brilliance on stage.” She said to a
roar of an applause.
“As my daughter’s decision was
hard, mine was equally. I have decided to vote for Misty Waterflower
because of her stunning performance.”
“And my decision,
was like, really hard, because Misty is my sister… But whatever! I chose
Hikora, because of her incredible performance and fashion sense!”
“So, we have a tie. Well, this
is quite easy to fix. We just need to hear an applause
when each dancer comes up front. Whoever has the loudest applause, wins!” Caye
said as she lead Hikora forward to a large applause.
She smiled and bowed. Then, Candice pranced forward and got an even larger
applause. Finally, Misty came forward, and she gained the largest applause out
of all of them. But no one cheered louder than Ash.
“MISTY WATERFLOWER IS THE
WINNER!” Caye said happily. She gave her a trophy. “Thank you for attending!
See you next year!!” Caye said, bowing.
Backstage, Misty was putting on
a pair of jeans and an aqua blue tank top. She put a Hibiscus Resort sweatshirt
overtop of it and walked out of the changing room. Everyone was waiting for
her. Caye, Dan, her sisters, Sarah, Jess, Brock, and of course, Ash were all
standing by the stage. She walked out and Caye ran to hug her.
“You did great, Misty!” she said.
“Absolutely
fantastic job!” Sarah cried.
Everyone had good feedback for
her. Ash smiled at her, which she of course, returned. Caye,
motioned everyone to let her masterpiece fix itself. She said something about
being hungry and needing to change. So, Ash and Misty were alone, again. They
started walking to the beach party.
“Misty, I can’t tell you how
beautiful you looked then and look now.” He said, almost in a whisper.
“Aww
thanks Ash.” She said sweetly.
“I realized it last night. I
knew I was empty. I felt alone and cold. But now, I know what I can do to make
myself whole. You, Misty, are my soulmate. It was
destiny, as you put it this morning that we met. And I love you more than
anyone ever could.” Ash said. She smiled.
“Duh.”
She said as they arrived at the beach. They sat down on the bench on which they
sat the night before. He brushed her hair out of her eyes from the wind.
“Misty, will you let me k-“ he started, but she
already replied, with a sweet kiss.
“Oh Ash,” She said a bit later
on in the evening. “I absolutely love this song, its sweet.” They were playing Tears on My Pillow.
“My Young Miss, would you care
to dance?” He said, in a gentleman’s way.
“Of course, my
Dear Sir.” She sweetly responded.
Oh you don’t remember me
But
I remember you
It
was not so long ago
You
broke my heart in two
Ash held Misty close, he could feel
her heart beating softly.
Tears on my pillow
Pain
in my heart caused by you
She smiled at him and kissed him on
the cheek.
If we could start a new
I wouldn't hesitate,
I’d gladly take you back
And test
the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow
Pain
in my heart caused by you
