Misty groaned and opened her eyes. The whole area was fuzzy and she held her head. "Ow...I've got a migrain" She moaned as she pushed herself up into a sitting position.
[Interesting...]
"What?" Misty rubbed her eyes and her vision cleared up a little. She could see Pikachu sitting on the ground in front of her, with a blue coloured book in it's hands.
Pikachu grinned. [You know, your diary is very interesting Misty, though the parts were you talk about Ash are very predictable]
[Catching up on some missed reading. Sence you left a month back I've had nothing interesting to read] Pikachu explained calmly.
"You mean you read it before today?" Misty asked, horrified.
[Sure, I read it every night before I went to sleep] Pikachu explained. Then he understood. [Oh, you never gave me permission to do that did you?]
"No!" Misty yelled. "Pikachu I can't believe you!"
[Well it's not like theres anything in there I didn't know already] Pikachu fought back. [I mean that stuff about Ash? I knew that sence the beginning]
Misty froze for a second and looked at her diary. "You mean...is it really that obvious?"
Pikachu thought for a while. He knew Misty wouldn't want to be thought of as predictible, so he shrugged. [Well, I heard you talking to yourself one night, and it moved on from there really] He sighed as he saw the worried look on Misty's face. [Don't worry Misty, I won't tell a soul]
Misty sighed with relief. "Thanks Pikachu"
Pikachu smiled. [No problem] Suddenly, his smile turned to a sly grin. [Now about that headache of yours...]
Pikachu knew he wasn't supposed to tell Misty what had happened last night, but he just couldn't resist. But then again, who could? He had been told even more about her being drunk that morning when Ash left, so he explaned all about her and Brock getting drunk, and she making a fool of herself in front of loads of people and, Pikachu loved this part, about her calling Ash a cutie and kissing him...twice! The look on her face was priceless. Shock, embarassment, disbelief, all those mixed together made an unusual expression, it almost made Pikachu laugh. [Well, your safe, because Ash doesn't thinks it was the alcohol kickin' in, and I know you don't feel ready to tell him how you feel] Misty looked up. "You do?" Pikachu grinned. [Yup, last week, October 22nd, 2002, you said it yourself] He jumped up onto the bed next to her as she groaned and lowered her head. [Don't worry, this is Ash we're talkin' about here. I bet he'll just forget all about, like that time you said to him, and I quote, 'You and I will be married someday too'. He forgot that almost instintly, so don't sweat it] Misty sighed. "I sure hope so" She said, looking over at her diary, which was now sitting beside her bedside table. Her eyes wandered away from the diary and across the pencils and magazines, landing on the calender. "30th of October, tomorrows Halloween" [You know] Pikachu said thoughtfully. [I heard that a Halloween Party is gonna be held at the Goldenrod Gym this year, a fancy dress one] Misty thought for a while and grinned. "I've got an idea..."
"No way" "Oh please Ash" Misty pleaded. "It'll be fun""But I hate fancy dress partys" Ash moaned. "They're nothing but bad luck for me. The last one I went to was at Prof. Oaks when I was five and Gary told me we had to dress up as girls" Ash paused for a second and suddenly turned red. He turned to Misty. "You didn't hear that" Misty grinned mischeviously. "I didn't hear that if you're coming to the Halloween party with me and Pikachu" Ash groaned and lowered his head. "I guess I have no choice..." he mumbled. "Ya! Brock's going out tomorrow morning and won't be back until well after the party, he's speanding the day at the Breeding Centre. Well, I've gotta go get my outfit. I'll get your while I'm at it" Misty said cheerfully. She walked, almost skipped, over to the counter and picked up a credit card. "I'm taking your card" "Fine" Ash said in a dead tone. Misty could spend almost as much as she wanted, and it wouldn't matter. Being a pokémon Master had it's financial advantages, and all he used the money for were for bills and food. Lot's of food. Misty smiled. "Thanks Ash" she said cheerfully and left the house almost instintly and headed into town. The next night... ----------- Misty hadn't let Ash see the outfit she'd gotton for him all day, and by now he was starting to fear the worst. Misty gave him the box and he sighed.p> "There's a little something in there for Pikachu too" Misty informed. "Well go on, get ready it starts in an hour" Ash growned and walked upstairs to his room at the end of the corridor and shut the door behind him. He sat on the bed next to Pikachu and took a deep breath before opening the box and was surprised with what he saw. The outfit looked like something from a fantasy story, and a fake sealthed sword lay on top along with a green hat. ((Ok, I dunno how to describe it, it's the same outfit he 'wore' in 'Air Time' when he was pretending to be Prince Goldenrod on the radio show)) Pikachu looked in and grinned finding it amusing that Misty had picked Ash to be dressed up as a prince when she was dressing up as a princess, of at least thats what she had told Pikachu. [Prince Goldenrod. Better than the tooth fairy anyway] Ash sighed. "That's what I was half expecting" He said with a smile. "Come on, better get ready"
Misty's outfit was sort of like a princess outfit. She wore a sky blue dress with a tight skirt part that stopped just a small bit above her knee. A long, blue silky cloth was tide around her waist and trailed behind her. Her hair was let hang down, which reached halfway down her back, and she wore a hair pin that looked like a blue rose that kept her hair out of her eyes. She side as she examined herself over. "Not bad, considering the price" She thought and bit her lip. This outfit had cost alot more than Ash's, and she hoped he wasn't angry with her. Why would he? What he doesn't know can't hurt him right? 7:30. she better get going, the party started in half an hour and it had taken her longer than expected to put the outfit on. She turned, careful not to damage the costume, and walked out the door. She looked at the stairs and sighed. "If he laughs at me he'll get a mallet sandwich" She thought as she walked downstairs.
Ash was far from laughing at Misty. As first he didn't even pay much attention to the outfit she was wearing, but when he looked again his jaw dropped. Was that Misty? He thought she looked so...beautiful. Pikachu, who was wearing a little hat identicle to Ash's along with a blue tunic like Ash's and a miniature bow and arrow hund over his shoulder and a container of fake arrows was on his back, walked over to Ash and giggled. [You can close your mouth now] Ash looked down at Pikachu and shut his mouth, blushing slightly. He straightened up a little as he saw Misty look over at. Misty smiled. "Lookin' good Ash" Ash turned slightly redder at this. "Y-you too" He stuttered nervously and nearly slapped himself for sounding so stupid. "Well, we better get going if we wanna make it to the party on time" Misty said and walked past him to the frount door. "Let's go Prince Goldenrod, your public awaits" She said jokily and walked outside, followed by Ash after he'd pulled himself together.
At the party... ----------- The party had started by the time Ash, Misty and Pikachu had arrived. It wasn't as packed at they'd expected, but then again most of the people were off at other party's of trick or treating. All the same, there were still loads of people there. Misty had gone off by herself, while Ash and Pikachu just sat around and stuffed themselves with food that had been laid out.
Misty walked around, quite a few whistles following her and a few stares. She felt a little uncomfortable around that area, so she moved to a more quiet part of the party. She sighed and sat down for a rest. Then she heard a voice behind her. "Misty? Misty Waterflower? Is that you?" Misty turned and looked behind her. There stood a boy around her age. He had short, slightly spikey blond hair and brown eyes and he was slightly taller than her. He looked femilier. "Yes, my name is Misty Waterflower. Have I meet you before?" She asked. "Misty, it's me, Adrian" "Adrian?" Misty gasped in shocked. He former boyfriend from all those years ago back in Cerulean, he was here? Right now? She couldn't believe it. She had kept him a secret from everyone she met, pretenting she'd never had a boyfriend. The reason she hadn't seen him in so long was because he had set off on his own pokémon journey about a year before her, and hadn't seen him sence. She had herd that he had been in some lab accident on Cinnabar Island, but that he came out ok, and some silly rumor about him in therapy, but something bad happened there too, though she couldn't remember what. He was a nice guy, but he always held a grudge against people, and never gave in until he'd gotton his way. "Misty, it's great to see you again" Adrian said, greeting her with a hug. "Your lookng wonderful, though you always did" Misty blushed. She always was a sucker for flattery. "Thanks" She said in a low voice. "Alright, now we can get back together, just like the old times" Adrian said happily. Misty swallowed hard. Adrian was a nice guy, and very sweet to her, but she never believed they were meant for eachother. And after she met Ash, she knew it wasn't Adrian she wanted to be with. "Adrian, that was a long time ago, I don't think those feelings are still there" But then, some feelings were never there to begin with. Adrian frowned. "What do you mean? Are you with someone else?" "No, it's not that, it's just, I think it's over between us" Misty said nervously, looking him in the eye. Adrian glared back at her. "There's someone else, isn't there? Who is it?" He kept his eyes locked on hers. He knew this would make her feel uneasy, and cause her to slip up, one way or another. He was righ, Misty's eyes shot to the side for a second and back again. When he in the direction she had glanced, he caught sight of Ash and Pikachu. "Him huh?" he said in an angry tone. Misty became worried. Adrian may have been sweet to her, but when she so much as looked at another guy and show any interest whatsoever, they were usually let with broken bones and a dangerous warning. She walked as fast as she could past Adrian and over to Ash. "Come on, we gotta go" She said grabbing his wrist and pulling him off. Ash halfchoked on a biscuit he was eating. He swallowed hard as Misty dragged him outside. "But we've only been here an hour or so, and the food is great" "We're leaving now!" Misty yelled, in a voice she knew would make him agree. She knew Adrian would try to get revenge on Ash for causing Misty to 'leave' him, but she just hoped she'd never meet him again.
Adrian ran outside, but he was too late to see which way Misty and that other guy had gone. He narrowed his eyes. "I'll get him, I swear I'll have my revenge" He thought and clenched his fist, and sparks flew around it.
To Be Continued -----------
And there you have it, chapter 3! In the next chapter it'll explain all about what happened to Adrian at the lab, and why the sparks are there, but I bet you've already figured that out huh? ^_^;; Ah well, I tried.
