“I can’t believe that I let you talk me into taking that shortcut!” Misty yelled angrily.

“Well it was your fault for listening to me!” Ash shot back.

The couple was fighting. Again. Ash had gotten the group lost. Again Misty was angry at him. Again. Brock, sweat dropping, edged away from the fight. This one was gonna last for a long time.

Sharon, Misty’s twin sister on the other hand just stood there, shaking her head, tapping her foot impatiently with her arms crossed. Really, they were wasting time here and that was one thing she did not appreciate at all. Sharon suddenly spoke up in a strained calm voice,

“Misty, calm down.”

“DON’T YOU START TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!” Misty shouted. “It’s your fault too!”

“My fault?” Sharon echoed, a dangerous vein twitching by her temple. “My fault?! How could it be my fault?”

“You shouldn’t have agreed with him in the first place!” Misty explained, rolling her eyes. “You should have sided with me! I’m your sister!”

Misty had hit a nerve. Sharon was nearing her breaking point and the others knew it. They stuffed their fingers in their ears and started the countdown. 5...4...3...

“I, Misty at least agree with him unlike you!” Sharon began quite calmly, eyes flashing dangerous. “You’re his girlfriend!! You’re the one who should agree with him one everything you dolt! Eight you two stop fighting or I shall be forced to take drastic measures!” she suddenly pulled out a huge mallet. “And trust me you don’t want that.

Ash and Misty sensing her anger, behind her calmness didn’t try to rise it even more.

“Sorry Ash” Misty muttered.

“Sorry Misty.” Ash said rushing to drape his arm around her.

Sharon, upon seeing this, smiled sweetly, putting the mallet away, “See was that so hard to do?” she arched an eyebrow at their fearful glances then smiled widely at their nods. “Good. Now, I’m going to go get some firewood. Looks like we won’t make it to the Pokemon Center after the little fight you two had.” Sharon began to walk off with Lily, her Pikachu. “C’mon let’s go and see what we can find…”

And with that she was gone from sight, leaving Misty, Ash, and Brock to stare after her.

“Ya know Mist, it’s times like these that remind me that Sharon really is your sister.” Brock laughed nervously.

“You have no idea.” Misty muttered, sighing.

The group had finished eating Brock’s superb stew and now spent the rest of the night to themselves. Currently Ash and Misty, having long forgotten their fight were now sitting a little away from the clearing, holding their Pokemon in their arms as they stared up at the stars. Sharon was on her laptop and typing something for Brock-an email to his ex-girlfriend.

“I’m sorry Brock but Wilhemina says she already has a boyfriend and she just can’t forgive you for cheating on her.” Sharon shook her head.

“But I didn’t cheat on her!” Brock protested.

“I guess hitting on girls is cheating in her eyes.” Sharon shrugged, sighing

“I lost her...” Brock stood beside Sharon in disbelief. “I can’t believe I lost the love of my life!” Brock wailed. “After all those moments! It’s nothing to her now!!! How could such a great couple like us end up separated!?!”

“Sorry Brock.” Sharon patted his gloomy head in sympathy. “I really am”

However nothing she said seemed to cheer up the mournful Breeder. Sighing in defeat she looked over at her sister and boyfriend kissing then back at Brock-what he needed most now was a new girl to help him forget his troubles. Someone like…

“Hey Brock! I know what’ll cheer you up!” Sharon exclaimed suddenly, clapping her hands together.

“What?” He asked miserably.

“We can go visit my sisters, Lily, Daisy, and Violet!” She suggested.

“I don‘t know.” He replied doubtfully.

“Come on Brock. It’ll do you some good to find a new girlfriend.” Sharon urged impatiently.

“Um... All right.” He agreed.

“Okay. I’ll call ‘em right now and see if it fits okay.” Sharon jumped up and heading away from the camp a little, taking out her cell phone as she went. She quickly dialed the memorized number. When Daisy finally picked up, she greeted cheerily, “Hi Daisy!”

“Sharon…?“ Daisy’s voice muttered sleepily. “Why are you calling…?“ she stifled a yawn. “What time is it?”

“Eleven thirty “ Sharon replied simply.

“Why are you calling at this hour?” Daisy muttered, groaning. “We’re like sleeping at this hour-you know that!”

“Look Brock, lost his girlfriend and he’s looking for a new one so-”

“HELL’S NO!!!” Daisy‘s voice no longer sounded sleepy but now sounded wide awake. “ I will not go out with him!”

“No Daisy you go it all wrong.” Sharon winced at her sister’s shouted. “I was thinking... Maybe when he sees you guys he’ll forget all about his old girlfriend. What do you say?”

“I don‘t know about this Sharon...”

“Please?” Sharon pouted slightly. “Come on, I haven’t see you in the longest and I think we’re late overdue for a visit no?”

“All right…” Daisy sighed. “When will you guys come?”

“Since we’re near a port, we can get there in… oh I guess... a week?”

“If you catch the boat in time.” Daisy replied wryly. “I know how you guys are-always rushing at the last minute.”

“Yeah.” Sharon sighed sheepishly. “The boat comes once a day so we had better get there early.”

“What times does it come to the port?”

“Afternoon.” Sharon responded. “We’re near the edge of town so we can make it. I hope…”

“Okay.” Daisy laughed. “ See ya then.”

“Bye, Daisy.”

“Bye Sharon.”

Sharon walked back to the campsite, feeling that going to visit Lily, Daisy, and Violet would do Brock if not her, some good.

“People!” Sharon began. “I have an announcement to make!”

“What is it?” Misty questioned, walking over to her sister, Ash trialing sulkily behind her.

“We are gonna visit Lily, Daisy and Violet!” Sharon finished, grinning.

“WHAT?!” Misty screeched. “Oh hell NO! WE ARE NOT, I REPEAT NOT GOING TO VISIT THEM!!”

“Oh come on Misty please?” Sharon whined putting on a sad puppy face.

“Nope.” Misty crossed her arms and closed her eyes. “That won’t work Sharon.”

“Oh come on Misty. It’ll be really nice if you did.” Brock added, also putting on a face,

“Nope.” Misty shook her head.

“Misty. Please?” Ash tipped her face to make her look up at him. “C’mon Mist... for me?”

Misty stared up at him, trying to fight against the look of her boyfriend. Misty gritted her teeth, Ash always did this to her and it always worked... Groaning and resigned to the worse she sighed and muttered, “Okay… But only because of you.”

“Yay!” Sharon jumped up in happiness. “I'm finally gonna sleep in a bed! And I can take a long hot bath...” her voice trailed off as she continued to talk excitedly to her Pikachu, Lily, “Maybe some more computer stuff and whatnot…”

“Maybe I might be able to find a girl who will stay with me.” Brock added thoughtfully.

“And we can finally go on a real date to a real restaurant now that we’re on vacation...” Ash whispered gruffly as he wrapped his arms around Misty.

“A romantic one right Ash?” Misty smiled sweetly up at him as she put her arms around his neck.

“Yeah Misty. A romantic one...”
