EPILOUGUE:
That was over five years ago now…and the memories are as fresh as if they had happened yesterday. After that, we all tried our best to stay in touch. I think we did rather well. Ash took some time off after his birthday to come with me to Cerulean city. But, as is inevitable with that boy, seeing me battle as a gym leader everyday made him restless…and pretty soon, he was off on another adventure of his own. Of, course I missed him but, I couldn’t stop him from going. If I’d asked, I’m sure he would have stayed but he belonged on the road.
I had been worried that it would be the Hoenn region all over again. Me waiting for a call, him meeting some other girl and never keeping in touch. But, it wasn’t like that at all! He called me almost every day, kept me up to date with everything, and he was back within a year. Since then, we’ve hardly ever been apart.
After his 17th birthday (much to Mrs. Ketchum’s sorrow) Ash moved to Cerulean City. I was delighted and, by then, my sisters were traveling the world trying to promote their “Save the Wailmer” campaign. We had the house and gym to ourselves and made the best of it…*wink wink*
More recently, the summer after Ash’s 21st birthday, we rented a ski lodge up near Snowpoint City in the Sinnoh region. Now, when I say “we”, I mean myself, Ash, Duplica, Gary, Brock and Richie (with Pikachu, Sparky and Ditto, of course!) This is, I think, a more suitable ending to this tale than Gary’s indignation at not being thanked.
We spent almost a week in the lodge. Every moment seems a mixture of laughs, color and friendship. There was never a dull moment…we tried to make the best of every second. Perhaps the last day was the most memorable…I will never forget that night:
We had spent the entire day on the slopes, and darkness had fallen all too quickly, as it has a habit of doing when you’re having fun. Brock had prepared an excellent round of hot cocoa (which I suspect had been spiked with whiskey by Gary) and we were all huddled on two sofas near the blazing fireplace. I would have, under normal circumstances, snuggled up near Ash but, for some strange reason, Duplica pushed me to one side and sat next to me.
After some merry chatter and teasing, Gary suggested livening up the room by playing a round of truth-or-dare. In return, Duplica asked, ‘Fine, let’s begin with you, Oak. Truth or Dare?’
‘Dare.’
‘Ok…I dare you to…um…kiss Misty!’
‘What?! NO!!’ Ash and I protested.
‘What? I have no problem with that,’ Gary shrugged, getting out of his seat and stepping towards me
‘Of course YOU don’t! She’s hot, what would YOU have to complain about?’ asked Brock, trying to control his laughter…and failing.
‘Come on,’ cried Duplica, poking me in the arm. ‘It’s just a DARE!’
‘Oh…alright, fine…but someone please time this ok? Anything over 5 seconds and Gary loses an eye!’ I said firmly.
Ash rolled his eyes but said nothing.
But, just before I let him kiss me Ash cried ‘And NO TONGUE GARY!’
That was, perhaps the ickiest 5 seconds of my life!
‘Well…you’re a lucky guy, huh Ashy-boy?’ Gary teased, punching a peeved Ash in the shoulder playfully.
And so the game continued. There were private questions asked, and shocking answers given. There were also a large number of dares. Surprisingly, a lot of people wanted either me or Duplica to kiss someone or the other. I played along until Gary wanted ME to kiss DUPLICA…I pretty much drew the line at that!
Then, when it was my turn again, I chose Truth, tired of getting out of my seat.
‘Ok, Ash gets to give you the question this time,’ Duplica replied.
‘But I have a good question for her! I really do!!’ insisted Gary. ‘Misty, when and WHERE was the first time you and Ash–OW!’
Duplica had stepped on Gary’s foot, giving him a very deliberate glare. He shut up immediately.
‘Go ahead Ash,’ she said.
I looked at Ash. ‘Truth,’ I repeated, smiling fondly at him.
‘Ok…but you have to answer honestly,’ he said softly.
‘That’s the point–ouch !’ cried Gary, earning himself another squished toe from Duplica.
And, before I could think, or say anything, or react at all, Ash slipped out of his seat, took my hands in his and said, ‘Misty, will you marry me? The truth…’
My eyes filled with tears of joy. I sat on the floor in front of him as he pulled a small, blue velvet box out of his jacket pocket and opened it to reveal a stunning white-gold ring set with a single tear-drop shaped solitaire.
And, I didn’t need the ring, and I didn’t need the fancy proposal, but that was Ash. He wanted the best for me, and I wanted the best for him too…
I wrapped my arms tightly around his shoulders as we sat on the floor just holding each other, our friends kindly leaving the room quietly (even Gary).
Then, I whispered in his ear, ‘Yes, Ash, I will…
THE END
