***Part 4***

Misty awoke very late the next morning. She looked over at Sharon's bed and saw that she had already left, leaving her bed a mess. Misty sighing got out of bed and fixed both beds before changing and going to eat.

Misty finished eating and soon faced the problem of what to do. Misty went back to her room and collected her knapsack and went to see Nurse Joy for her Pokeballs. When she got them she went outside, wondering what she should do. She was just about to go look for Ash, when suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder, and she found herself face to face with-

"Rudy!" exclaimed Misty backing off. "What are doing here?"

"I came to visit you." he replied presenting her with a bouquet of flowers. Misty took them awkwardly "Do you wanna go and walk with somewhere?"

"I-um..." replied Misty wavering a bit. She was about to say no but she just couldn't bring herself to say it. "I'd love to Rudy."

"Then let's go to the park." Rudy replied shooting her a brilliant smile. "It's very beautiful this time of year. Especially since there'll be a festival soon..."

"A festival?" asked Misty as they walked, Togepi who in her arms as they went kept throwing glares at Rudy.

"Yes a festival." replied Rudy nodding.

"For what?"

"Oh just to raise some money for the town. People from other towns will come too. My friends who are in famous groups will come too so-"

"What groups?"

"Matchbox Romance, Starting Line, and Coheed and Cambria."

"I love those groups!" exclaimed Misty.

"I know you do." replied Rudy grinning.

"How?" asked Misty confused. "I never-"

"You told me." he replied.

"When?" asked misty.

"When you first came remember?" he asked.

"Oh! Well I'm a big fan of Matchbox Romance, Starting Line, and Coheed and Cambria and so is Sharon. What songs will they be singing?" asked Misty excitedly.

"Just a few songs-A favor House Atlantic, Greg's Last Day, Saddest Girl Story, and Promise."

"Oh I love those songs! They're my favorite ones!"

"Will you stay for the festival then?" asked Rudy.

"Absolutely!" exclaimed Misty. "Me and Sharon will definitely be going. I'm not sure about Ash and Brock though..."

"But you and Sharon'll come so they'll probably go right?"

"Most likely." replied Misty.

"Oh well. Will you be my date for the festival?" asked Rudy hopefully.

Misty's mood quickly changed direction. She looked away from him and replied biting her lip, "Um...Uh... Rudy you know how I feel."

"I know but please at least think about it?" he asked

"I don't know..." replied Misty doubtful.

"Please. Think about it?" he insisted.

"Um.. All right. I'll think about it." sighed Misty

"Thanks." he replied smiling.

"Well, I better go and find Ash-" started Misty but Rudy cut in sharply, "Ash? What for?"

"To tell him something." replied Misty calmly. "Bye!" she exclaimed before he could say anything else.

Misty hurried off looking for Ash. She found it rather difficult to balance Togepi and the flowers and run at the same time so instead she put Togepi in her knapsack and threw the flowers away. She didn't want anything from Rudy.

Misty continued to search for Ash. She couldn't find him anywhere. Misty ran into Brock and when he said he didn't know where he was either, she began to worry.

'What if something bad happened to him? Oh I couldn't bare it if anything did... he means so much to me that I would die without him...' thought Misty as she continued to look for him. 'Oh Ash where are you?'

Misty gave up for a while and walked around aimlessly. She was so unaware of her surroundings that she bumped into someone causing her to fall. Then she looked up and she saw Ash bending down eyes full of concern.

"Ash!" Misty exclaimed as he helped her up. "Where have you been?"

"I was just walking around." he replied casually. "Why?"

"I was looking for you all over town! I need to ask you: how long are we gonna stay?" she asked.

"I dunno really." he answered as they walked back to the center together. "Why? There some reason you wanna stay?"

"Yes. Rudy told me-"she started.

"You've been with him?" he cut in sharply.

"Yeah. Why?" she asked confused.

"I don't really like him." he replied anger clearly in his eyes. "I think he just wants to hurt you..."

It took a moment or two for Misty's mind to register what he had just said. And when it did, a warm deep glow grew deep inside her. With what Ash was saying, he meant he truly cared about her, he would deny of it, but that meant he at least felt something for her, and not just friendship.

"Ash." Misty said smiling at him sweetly. "I appreciate you caring for me a lot but I was only talking to him for a while. I'm really glad you care about me though..."

Ash blushed wildly. With those words he had just plainly told her that he liked her. He had told her more than just those words. He had told her (without meaning to) that he really cared for her.

"Yeah." he muttered.

"Well there's gonna be a festival with my favorite groups-and Sharon's too- in a few days and I was wondering if we could stay long enough for it." replied Misty still smiling.

"Yeah, I guess so. What groups?" asked Ash.

"Oh you wouldn't know them..." answered Misty nonchalantly.

"How would you know?" asked Ash.

"Fine. They're matchbox Romance, starting live, and Coheed and Cambria.” replied Misty.

"Are you kidding? I love them!" Ash exclaimed.

"You do?" asked Misty excitedly.

"Yeah. What songs they gonna sing?" he asked.

"A Favor House Atlantic, Greg's Last Day, Saddest Girl Story, and Promise!" replied misty.

"I love those songs! Great!" he exclaimed. "i can't wait!"

"Neither can I." grinned Misty.

"Misty!" yelled a voice.

They turned around and saw Sharon running towards them with a boy they didn't know at her heels. Sharon looked very excited.

"Did you hear?" asked Sharon.

"About the festival?"

"Yeah. Do you know who's coming?"

"Matchbox Romance, Starting Line, Coheed and Cambria!" they exclaimed together excitedly.

"I can't wait!" Sharon yelled. "They're some of Greg's favorite bands too!"

"Greg?" asked Misty.

"My friend I told you about." replied Sharon pointing to the boy. "This is Gregory."

Gregory had on a red shirt and black jeans. He had brown hair, and Ash's same chocolate brown eyes.

"Hi" he said smiling.

"Hello." replied Misty and Ash.

"Greg this is my sister and my other best friend, I was telling you about." said Sharon.

"It's nice to finally meet you." he replied smiling. And suddenly his smile faded slightly he asked quietly, "Have you told them?"

"Um... No..." replied Sharon blushing and biting her lip.

"Tell us what?" asked Misty interested.

"Sharon you've gotta tell 'em. Sooner or later they'll find out ya know." he went on exasperated.

"I know. I'll tell them later okay?"

"Tell us what?" asked Misty yet again.

"I dunno. I'd like it if you'd tell them right now."

"I'll tell them later..."

"All right.?"

"Tell us what?" asked Misty again, this time louder.

"Nothing." replied Sharon. She turned to Gregory and said. "Bye. See ya tomorrow."

"Yeah bye. Meet you for breakfast?" asked Gregory as he walked away.

"You bet." replied Sharon smiling.

He grinned and waved as he left. Sharon turned to ash and misty who were both completely bewildered. Sharon sighed deeply.

"Greg's my boyfriend." she said quickly blushing.

"I knew it!" Misty exclaimed. "I could see it in both your eyes! How long you two?"

"For the longest of forever." replied Sharon sheepishly as they walked towards the Pokemon Center. "I told him exactly where we went for the last 3 years and we've been seeing each other ever since.

"My God..." Misty said in a hushed gleeful voce. "What have you two been doing in al that time?"

"Nothing..." muttered Sharon turning scarlet.

"Nothing huh?" asked Ash grinning. "In all that time you two have done nothing? I find that hard to believe Sharon."

"Shutup you two." she replied as they roared with laughter. "At least I admit I like someone unlike you two."

"Huh? Whadya mean Sharon?" asked Ash laughter dying a quick death.

"i mean, "Sharon replied with the impatient air that she was explaining 1+1=2. "That you two love each other but you just don't admit it."

Ash and Misty, blushing wildly aced as if they were disgusted.

"Ew!" said Ash.

"Disgusting Sharon!" Misty added.

"How can you say something disgusting like that?" asked Ash pretending to gag.

"Yeah Sharon. How?" agreed Misty pretending to puke.

"And how is that you two still deny your feelings for each other?" asked Sharon trying hard not to laugh at their lies.

"Sharon!" yelled misty.

"We-" Ash went on.

"-don't-"

"-love-"

"-each-"

"-other!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You two are just so stubborn... Which makes you two perfect for each other!" replied Sharon grinning gleefully as she ran the rest of the way to the Pokemon Center, leaving Ash and Misty blushing and ready to kill her.
