***Part 3***

"Tracey we're really, really sorry about what happened to your mom." said Sharon.

They were at Tracey's house. It was only 4:30

"How is she doing?" asked Misty as they sat down on a couch.

"She's fine. She just wishes she could get outta that hospital. Oh and you guys?" asked Tracey.

"Yeah?" they replied

"Thanks for coming. My aunt's are here supporting me but it really means a lot to me that you guys are here. You guys sure you don't want to spend the night here?" asked Tracey. "I still have some spare rooms ya know."

"No it's fine. We'll just stay at the Pokemon Center." replied Sharon.

"Well, we better get going or there won't be any rooms left for us." said Ash standing up.

"Bye Tracey." Sharon and Misty said together.

"See ya tomorrow." Brock and Ash added.

"Bye you guys." replied Tracey "And thanks again!"

***At The Pokemon Center***

"Hello Nurse Joy. Could you give us two rooms with two beds each and-" started Ash but Brock pushed him and he fell.

"And a date with me?" asked Brock in his dreamy voice.

"Uh..." replied Nurse Joy

"Cool it Brock." Misty said pulling his ear.

"Ow! Not-ouch!-not the ear!" wailed Brock in pain

"Would you look after my Pokemon Nurse Joy?" asked Ash handing her his Pokeballs.

"Yeah mine too." Misty and Sharon added.

"Certainly. Here are the keys to your rooms. Your rooms are on this floor." replied Nurse Joy handing them two keys. "Oh and please sign here" she added holding out a clipboard.

They all walked to their rooms. Ash, Sharon, and Brock were talking but Misty seemed unusually quiet and pale. Ash found this very peculiar since Misty usually talked a lot with Sharon.

"Misty you seem pale. What's wrong?" asked Ash.

"Huh? Oh! No, I'm fine Ash. Thanks." replied Misty smiling.

"What time is it?" asked Sharon suddenly.

"Almost 5:00. Why?" replied Brock looking at his watch.

"Oh. Well, Misty I'm gonna go see my er... my friend that lives here." said Sharon turning to leave.

"Your friend? You know someone who lives here?" asked Misty stopping her.

"Yeah. He's on vacation here with his mom." replied Sharon.

"He?" asked Misty raising a brow at her.

"Uh... Yeah." replied Sharon slowly.

"He??" Misty repeated.

"Yeah." replied Sharon impatiently. "Well I gotta go! Bye!" Sharon exclaimed running off.

Misty stared after Sharon before turning to Ash and saying, "Sharon's a bit weird don't ya think?"

"Yeah." replied Ash laughing "But she's a free spirit."

"You guys ever wonder if she keeps seeing the same person?" asked Brock.

"Huh?" Ash and Misty said together.

"What do you mean Brock?" asked Ash.

"Well haven't you guys noticed that she always runs off somewhere whenever we stop someplace?" asked Brock

"Come to think of it... Yeah, you're right." replied Ash.

"Do you think she has a boyfriend?"

"Maybe. I mean she may be a tomboy just like Misty-"

"Hey!" yelled Misty outraged.

"-but she is pretty cool." Ash went on.

"I doubt it." said Misty.

"Huh? Why?"

"Sharon's too busy to have one. She's helping me with my love life and she's helping lot's of her other friends too." said Misty.

"Love life?" asked Ash. "You have a love life? You have a crush? Who is he?" Ash accused.

"Uh... Forget I ever said that."replied Misty blushing. "I'm going to my room."

She walked into her room with Togepi in her knapsack (Yeah I know. I have finally put Togepi in there!)

"What's gotten into her?" asked Ash as they walked in their room.

********

Misty went inside and put her favorite CD inside the radio. There were all kinds of songs since they were all downloaded. Togepi fell asleep in the first two songs.

(This one is "Everywhere.")

Misty loved this song since it reminded her of her relationship with Ash and how much he meant to her.

Misty sat on her bed holding a pillow close to her. She wanted to tell Ash how much she cared about him but was way to scared..

She was way too scared of Ash not feeling the same way. She didn't want to ruin their beautiful friendship. They had had pretty bad arguments before but their friendship always pulled through...

She didn't want it to end now after all they'd been through together. She wanted it to last forever and ever...

"Oh Ash.." whispered Misty

"Yeah?"

"AAAHHHHIIIEEE!!!!!!!!" Misty screamed "ASH!!!! What are you doing here?" asked Misty when she saw him by her window.

"Your door was locked and when I tried knocking you didn't answer so I got worried." replied Ash "Now would you mind letting me in?"

Misty sighed and opened the window higher. Ash came in.

"So.. What do you want?" asked Misty nervously.

(This one is "It's You")

"Uh.. actually I wanted to know what happened back there?" asked Ash.

"Oh!" replied Misty blushing "Nothing. It was nothing Ash."

"Ah..."

They stood there awkwardly not knowing what to say. Misty looked at him but looked away quickly when he noticed her, watching him.

"Misty?" Ash said suddenly.

"Yes... Ash?" replied Misty

"You know you can trust me with anything right?"

"Ash... I've always trusted you..."

Ash smiled and said, "It's nice to know you can have a friend you can count on."

"Yeah." replied Misty smiling too.

"Misty?" asked Ash stepping nearer to her.

"Yes?" replied Misty looking into his eyes.

"What's on your mind? You seem worried."

"It's nothing." replied Misty looking away.

"Misty." said Ash grabbing her chin forcing her to look at him. "You can trust me with anything. We've been best friends for five years and we tell each other everything.

"I know. It's just..." replied Misty, biting her lip.

"Misty I want to know what's bothering you. Maybe I can help." Ash answered.

"I dunno Ash.. it's a problem about this guy... I want to.. tell him something... but I can't..."

"You never know Misty. Love makes the world go 'round so you should probably tell him.. whoever he is..."

"Thanks Ash... but this is something I have to figure on my own. okay?" replied Misty smiling up at him.

"Okay." Ash answered smiling faintly. "Well I'm gonna go and get something to eat. Want me to bring you something?"

"No, I'm not hungry." replied Misty.

"See ya tomorrow then. Good night."

"Good night Ash." replied Misty as he stepped out. "Sweet dreams..."

Misty sighed and went over to her window. She had just let another perfect chance to tell Ash how she really felt, pass by. She just couldn't get the nerve to tell him. She was too scared.

Misty sighed again as she watched the sun set. The sky was so beautiful. Yellow, yellow orange, purple, and then blue. Misty compared her heart to the sunset. Burning deep inside her heart was her love for Ash, then as it went outward it go cold and hard. no one could penetrate it except Ash. She just melted away when he touched her or even looked at her. She was crazy about him. there was no other word for it She was wild for him.

She needed him. To feel cared for, to feel important... to feel loved. Without him she felt alone, unwanted, uncared for, she felt dead and cold. But with him she felt alive...
