Mrs. Williams opened the main door of her house and was a bit shocked to see Ash.

"Hi-"

"I'll wait for Misty until she gets home from school. I'll wait here. I won't bother anyone." Ash sat down on stairs and gave his back to Misty's mother.

"Alright..."

"I'm going-oh, hi Ash!" It was Mr. Williams who was leaving his house. He said as he walked to his car outside, "What are you doing here? Misty is inside!"

Ash got up. "What?"

"I was going to say that..." Mom pointed inside the house. "She doesn't want anyone to bother her, though."

"Did she say that about me?"

"No, dear, she didn't! It's just... she doesn't like unexpected visitors." Mrs. Williams giggled.

"Huh? Did something bad happen to Misty?"

"Not at all! Oh, you're so sweet. Let me hug you." She hugged Ash and he had no idea what was going on. "Nothing happened to her, of course. Get inside. Don't mind her if she shouts at you."

Ash thought he'd never get women. "Thanks, Mrs. Williams..."

She giggled loudly. "Get in!"

Ash flashed a smile and got inside. Misty's mother got in after he did but she quickly walked past him and shouted, "Misty! Ash is here!"

"What do you mean Ash is here? You're so funny, mom!"

Misty gasped and sat up on the couch when she saw Ash walking over to the living room. A big bowl of popcorn and a smaller bowl of chips fell to the floor as she did so (they were put on her lap). Her mom flew to the kitchen.

"What-what the-who let you in?" Misty was trying to wipe the chocolate off of her mouth, wrap herself in a blanket and get her tangled hair in a bun at the same time.

"Wait."

Misty stopped moving as Ash walked up to her and reached out for her hair. He started running his hand through her hair and brushed it to the back once it looked decent enough.

"I looked pretty stupid doing that, didn't I?"

"A little."

"A little? Again?"

Her mom was so evil. Why couldn't she leave Ash at the door for a couple of seconds while she gets a little bit decent again? For God's sake, she had her foot up on the top of the couch and her belly was all over the place. She probably looked ridiculous.

"You're a little funny, a little mean, a little hot-tempered, a little annoying. You're a little bit of everything."

Misty gave him a look. She had one single wish at the moment and it was not having any chocolate on the corner of her lips.

"A little ugly too."

"No, you're not ugly; at least that's what I think."

Misty sighed. "Why are you my friend? Why me?"

"Why you? Hummm..." Ash faked to be in thought. Misty kept staring at his neck. She blushed a little.

"Why did you come looking for me anyway?"

"I had to."

"I feel disgusting. I really am." Misty looked down at herself and then at the huge mess she's made in the living room with her comforts foods all over the place. "But you weren't supposed to be here anyway and see-"

"-the popcorn you have stuck on the chocolate on your face?"

"What? WHERE?" Misty gasped and kept wiping off her face nonstop.

"Relax, you have nothing on your face."

"It's not funny! It's really not!" Misty frowned and kept hitting Ash's chest with fists. "Why does it have to be you from all people I know?"

"I'm the only guy you know."

"I know Gary, Drew and Paul!"

"But they're all taken." Ash smiled.

Misty blushed. "I said I KNOW them! Stop getting on my nerves! I'm mad! I will hit you!"

"You shouldn't be so mad."

"You came unexpectedly! You should tell a girl when you're coming!"

Misty jumped up when Ash grabbed her waist and pulled her close. "You're hot."

The redhead's face turned really red. "W-what?"

"Can I kiss you?"

Misty has actually nodded. The f*ck.

Ash kissed her. Misty was still frozen in her spot. Her chest went up and down roughly.

"Can I take off your dressing gown?"

Misty's eyes shot wide. "ASH!"

"Just this. It's bothering the sh*t of me." He took it off Misty's body. Her pajamas consisted of a shirt and mini shorts. She didn't have any underwear on. She hoped he wouldn't notice. "It was covering all the gorgeousness of your body."

"What are you talking about? It was doing you a favor. Get ready for eye-raping."

"What eye-raping? I saw you naked before, remember?"

"Ash! I thought we forgot about that!"

"I can't forget your naked body, Misty. I mean, it's yours, come on! You're so beautiful." Ash kept stroking her face.

Misty was frowning.

"What?"

"Do you even like me?"

"Why the hell do you think I came here for? Seeing how pretty you are now?"

"Hey!"

Ash kissed her on the cheek again. "I don't care if you don't like me. I do, and that time, I really wanted to kiss the hell out of you."

"Oh, please, you have no idea." Misty pulled away from his embrace. "I depressed because of you, sh*tball. You almost kissed me but you didn't! It was frustrating."

"You slapped me."

"You deserved it! You should have kissed me and stripped me out of my clothes!" Misty pointed at him in accusation.

Ash blinked.

"Ignore the last part!" She pointed at him again.

"Okay?"

Misty slapped her face with her hands. "I hate you."

Ash hugged her again. "You'll leave me next year. I'll be in Cerulean alone."

"Is that why you hate me so much?"

"You know they won't accept me into that stupid Naval Academy in Saffron city and dad would never let me join the Navy." She even hated the army, but she considered it when Ash told her about his decision.

"What do you need military college for? It's all pain and the food is horrid."

"Don't go then."

"I made up my mind." Both his big brothers were in the Navy, just like their dad. It was Ash's destiny as well.

"You didn't! Your dad is forcing you."

"Come on, Misty. It's too late for this conversation." They slowly broke apart. Misty sighed. "I can't even see you."

"Holidays?"

"I can't survive without you. I need you annoying me in my life!"

"Oh, trust me. I'll annoy you as much as you want in the holidays."

Misty smiled. She walked over to the couch and started picking up the candy and snack wraps. Ash started helping her.

"I'll miss you."

"Same."

Misty put on her dressing gown back. "But at least I know you won't be hitting on any women there."

"Oh, why is that?"

Misty giggled. "They won't be as attractive as me."

"Oh, yeah, they usually have flat bodies and a bad sense of humor."

Misty sighed. "My body is anywhere near flat. It's all plains, mountains and plateaus."

"That's the kind of humor I am talking about."

Misty looked up after she's put all the wraps on the coffee table. "Not bad. Geography, huh?"

"Chill, Mist. You're too hard on yourself."

"I guess. Come on. Let's go upstairs."

"Why?"

Misty turned around. She stopped in the middle of the stairs. "Why? Because you need to pass a math exam, remember?"

"Uh-oh, right..."

Then it hit her.

"Ash, you're so dirty."

"Can you blame me?" Ash followed after her with a smile. "You're gorgeous."

"Yeah, yeah."

"You are."

Misty opened the door of her bedroom wide. "Get in."

"Yes, milady."

She got inside and locked the door, and honestly, it didn't take them too long before their math session turned into a cuddle episode and soon a make out scene with very few clothes on.

"We've escaped."

"Escaped? Escaped what?"

Misty wrapped her leg around his and nuzzled Ash's neck.

"Platonia."

"What's even that?"

the end.
