Author's
Note: I got
this story idea when I was in the car traveling past the beautiful sequoia
trees. It was originally going to be called Casual Goodbyes and be a sweet
little love story for Ash and Misty but I got this fantastic idea that involved
a fiery red stone and a cute little music locket. So now it is a sweet AAMR
plus a lot of action. I do warn people, it is a bit sad. It does have deaths
that involve no returns. And I am perfectly sane; I have a wonderful family;
and I just wrote this for fun. I wasn't hyper either. Please do not flame me.
And if you have to, be gentle. I love tips and pointers on where to take a
story. Please do not try to correct my grammar; I will do it myself. It can not
be helped by you nagging me. I have almost all of this plotted out in my head
and the people who will die and survive are already mapped out. Except for one…
I do not want to hear any "kill Misty" things. That includes with all the
characters. Everything else, I except. Oh, and read Faith in a Child if you
haven't already. It's a 10/10.



"Have
you ever been in love so much, Brock, that you have to keep it hidden?" Ash
asked Brock once Misty was out of ear shot.

"Awe…Does
Ashy-boy finally see Misty as a girl?" Brock mocked.

Ash blushed
bright crimson,

"Maybe…"

"Well, Ash, you certainly have a
strange pick in girls." Brock muttered.

"Yeah. She is different…and
that's what makes her beautiful."



"Aj…Hmmm.
That name doesn't really suit you." Misty muttered.

"Hey!
What is that supposed to mean?" Ash growled although secretly agreeing with
her.

"You're
way too cute for a Aj. Maybe a Mark or Taylor…or…"Misty trailed off, "Actually,
only one person could have that name…"

Ash
cocked a eye brow. What was she going on about?

Misty noticed his questioning stare
and she shifted so to hid her depression,

"So,
what's with the cape, super-boy?" Misty asked mockingly.

Ash blushed…He couldn't tell her
what it's really purpose was for… For hiding Masters on Missions…But he really
wasn't on a mission was he? He was fighting for his life…Staying hidden was his
only solution….so much for that…

"Um…I'm
a Pokemon Master…" He tried to say importantly.

Oh. Big whoop. Some Master getting your butt kicked by Team Rocket…

"More
like Pokemon Moron. Like anyone could believe that cock and bull story." Misty
yawned not impressed.

Ash frowned at her…

"But
I am…"

"Oh
please." Misty laughed, "What position are you?"

"Huh?"

"What
rank? What position?"

Ash wasn't thinking…He spat out
what the first thing that came to his head,

"Inner."

Misty's eyes widened,

Was he really as stupid as to blurt out the top position?

Ash cursed under his breath…Any
moment she was gonna ask what element he had and then to prove it…

"Well,
all inners have a element as you must of known." Misty grinned; glad to prove
what a idiot he was, "What's yours?"

Ash had to fight the urge to
show her. He hated be taunted like this…Gary did it all too often… The truth
was…He had all…Strange as it may seem…That was what happened in the tower…The
Masters told him to put on the glove…

He hesitated asking if it would
hurt at all…and they all said it felt just normal…nothing hurt…just felt warm…
Ash shrugged… It couldn't hurt…But when he put it on…The room was enveloped in
white light and a searing pain from his hand stuck him hard in the chest. He
yanked it off after a lot of panic. He must have been silent for a long time
hugging his poor hand…It hurt so much…He was afraid that for a brief second
that he was gonna die… Lorelei then came up and hugged him…It felt nice…He was
in such pain…To be hugged was helping him regain his breath…

"You
alright, Ashton?" Lorelei whispered kindly to the small boy in her arms.
He nodded weakly. But she didn't leave him. He was very frightened…Then his mom
came in…She took over…Being his mother's arms made him feel even better…He
still hurt…She kept whispering sweet things to him luring him to sleep…



Ash shuttered. The Elders told
him later that it was just a side affect…

Some side affect…He almost died…

They gave him the element lighting
and told him only to use that power…But he could do psychic as easily as Agatha
and Fire as Lance…Why Lighting?

It was later he found out from
Agatha that the elders were afraid of him…He was only a child but he managed to
get all the powers…They wanted him to keep his powers silent because if he used
all of them he might be able to control them…But Ash didn't want to control
anything…He was perfectly happy with every thing that he had. He had made it to
the inners…And he was a master… He was happy…At least…He was…



"I got the place of lighting." Ash continued hoping it would sound fake…

"Oh
really?" Misty grinned, "Well, lighting boy, show me your powers."

Ash wished he could…But she wasn't
supposed to guess who he was…and he was still being tailed by Cassidy and
Butch. Ash tried to make his face look as guilty as possible while he
suppressed the urged to thunder her to the heavens…

"Uh…I
don't want to waste the energy."

"Man.
You're such a pathetic liar." Misty laughed.

'You're
right…He is.' Pikachu snickered from below…

"Well,
I'll be easy on you." Misty smiled, "I'll let you take me home."

'What?!"
Ash snapped, "What makes you think I will do that for you?"

"What
makes you think I won't tell everyone about you?" Misty smiled slyly.

Ash began to sweat…

"Okay.
Okay. I take you…" Ash started to head for the car with Misty tailing behind
him.

"Hey,
I didn't tell you where I lived…"

"Oh…umm…I
was assuming you would tell me on the way there." Ash lied, "So where do you
live?"

"Cerulean
City." Misty beamed.

"Oh.
Pretty city." Ash sighed.

This is gonna be a long night…



They drove along down the bumpy road to Saffron… Ash could
hardly keep he's eyes on the road. They kept darting over to Misty next to him.
The wind blowing through her silky red hair like fingers…

How I wish they were mine…

Ash shook his head…He was
falling in love all over again…and it was terribly painful…

Pikachu was sleeping soundly in
the back seat…

Of all the times to sleep!

They crept past the busy city of
Saffron to the dusty road towards Cerulean. It dawned on Ash where he was
going…His heart had led to a off road that he and his Mom often had picnic's
together…before…

They pulled over …

"Where
are we?" Misty asked, "It's almost dinner time…My sister's will be worried…"

Ash found himself blushing.

"I-I-
This is my (gulp) Me and my mom's secret grotto." Ash stuttered.

Misty blinked.

"Why
are you showing it to me?"

"Umm.
Because…"

"Because?"

"Just
because." Ash blushed even brighter and leapt out of the car to get some air.

Misty's shocked face formed a
smirk…



"So
where is your family?" Misty asked as he led her to the secret spot.

"Um.
I-I don't have any." Ash tried to keep his voice casual.

"You
must have had them at a time… No Brothers? Sisters? Parents? Cousins?
Grandparents?"

"Pikachu."
Ash nodded mentioning his little poke' pal which they had left in the car.
Pikachu seemed so content sleeping they didn't want to disturb it.

"Aj.
No. I mean Family. Real Family. Like your Mom." Misty sighed.

Ash turned pale,

"Sometimes
it's best to keep past, past." He said softly, "So no one can get hurt…"

Misty looked at him curiously,

"You
mean you live alone?"

"Sometimes…"
Ash whispered.

"Sometimes?"

"Um.
Uh huh." Ash nodded looking towards the sky. He hoped she got the message that
he wanted to change the subject. She did.

"How
much farther?"

"Not
much."



"Wow." Misty gasped.

It was a little paradise. It a
dark spot in the woods making it appear as if it was night. The tall trees
surrounding them caused this affect. There was soft greenery everywhere. The glowing spring in front of them was the
only source of light. It was like having their own silver moon.

"It…Me
and my mom named it. We called it Moon lit Spot…"

Misty rushed over to the creek
and looked into the water…The silvery rocks glittered heavenly under the
surface…

"What…"

"That
creek…It can play tricks…" Ash smiled taking a seat next to her, "Shows
you…things."

"What
sort of things?" Misty asked looking at him shyly.

"Good
things…" Ash blushed.

They looked into each other's
eyes and then turned away.



(Disclaimer: What Makes you
Different, Makes you Beautiful By The Backstreet Boys. I don't usually like their music…No offence
to any fans. I like N-Sync much better. But I love this one song. It's so
sweet. ^.^)



You don't run with the crowd…You go your own way. You
don't play after dark, you light up my day. You've got your own kind of star,
that sets you apart. Baby, that's why you've captured my heart.



Ash
turned back to her. The lake began to swirl… In it reflected the image of two
13 year olds. Sitting side by side. One a small scruffy black haired boy…The
other a scrawny red head. Misty let out a gasp and looked down at herself…



I know sometimes you feel like you don't fit in. And this
world doesn't know what you have within.



Ash
blinked…Suddenly Misty looked three years younger. He looked down at himself…He
felt shorter. He felt his hair…back to it's messy way. They stared at each
other… Misty looked as if she was about to cry… 'Ash…' She whispered…



When I look at you, I see something rare. A rose that can
grow anywhere. And there is no one I know who can compare…



Ash shook his head… A sparkling mist swirled around
them…Misty grabbed his hands… The mist faded… She was older again… Ash guessed
he was too. Misty blinked confusingly. Ash smiled, 'Told ya.'



What makes you different, makes you beautiful. What's
there inside you shines through to me. In your eyes I see all the love I'll
ever need. What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me.



Ash resisted the urge to
hug her…To tell her it was him… He stood up. Misty did the same; still holding
his hands… Tears formed at the corner of her eyes…But not sad tears…
Different… He smiled. She returned it.
He heard pounding…Was that his heart or hers…

He smiled once more
and pushed her playfully into the
water. Misty let out a shriek and pulled him as well. The water was freezing…



You've got something so real you've touched me so deep.
You see, material things don't matter to me. So come as you are. You've got
nothing to prove. You won me won me with all that you do. And I want to take
this chance to say to you…



Ash and Misty came out of
the water shivering and soaked to the bone with silvery water. Ash looked
around for his cloak that dropped when she pulled him in. He picked it off the
ground…He looked over to Misty who was looking murderous. Ash laughed and
draped the cloak over her shoulders. She blinked…and then blushed a bright
crimson mouthing a thank you. Ash shrugged it off.



What makes you different, makes you beautiful. What's
there inside you shines through to me. In your eyes I see all the love I'll
ever need. What makes you different, makes you beautiful…



Ash
ran up to a tree while Misty tailed him. He began to climb to the trunk. He got to the second branch and looked down
to see Misty swinging up onto the first one. Ash laughed… She was definitely
not like other girls who where all prissy for tree climbing…He watched her not
paying attention to his own branch…



You don't know how you touched my life. In so many ways I just
can't describe. You taught me what love is supposed to be. You saw the little
things that make you beautiful to me…



The
branch broke. Ash plummeted to the ground reaching out to grab hold of
something. He grabbed hold on to Misty's out reached hand. Ash blinked in
shock…And then smiled… Misty returned it.



What makes you… What makes you different, makes you
beautiful. What's there inside you shines through to me. In your eyes I see all
the love I'll ever need. What makes you different, makes you beautiful… to me.



Ash
ran ahead of Misty pulling her along… She was beginning to tire. She told him
she needed to rest. Ash stopped. They were covered in a sunlight. One of the
rare sun spots. Ash and Misty were dangerously close… Ash jumped back blushing
like crazy. Misty did the same… She stood shrouded in the sun's rays… Ash gazed
at her beauty…



Everything in you is beautiful. Love in you shines right
through me. Everything in you is beautiful….to me….



They
continued to run, coming to a clearing. Ash froze…. Misty did as well…



To be continued…

Please r + r!

Now wasn't that sweet? That must be one of the cutest
scenes anyone ever put these to kids in…He, he, he!

Awe! Too bad I didn't make them kiss yet… Saving that
for later…Tee he!
