Misty’s Secret

Ash and Misty continue towards the park. As they’re walking along, Ash suddenly grins. “Hey, Misty,” he says.
“Yes, Ashy Boy?” Misty replies, returning his grin.
“Um, wanna smoke a joint?” says Ash, his grin widening.
Misty’s eyes lit up at Ash’s words. “Yes!! I would love to!” she blurts out.
“Awesome, let’s find a secluded spot to toke up then,” he says.
“Actually, I found a back way to the park earlier and we’re not far from it,” said Misty. “That way, we wouldn’t have to stop to smoke,”
“Good idea, Mist,” said Ash. “Lead the way,”
Misty lead Ash to a dark walkway surrounded on both sides by closed shops and old abandoned buildings. “Looks good,” said Ash. He grinned again and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a decent-sized doobie twisted closed at the end. “Shall we?” he said.
“Hurry! Spark it up!” Misty said impatiently.
Ash smirked and took out his lighter. Putting the open end of the joint to his mouth and the flame to the twisted end, he inhaled deeply. The end caught flame for a moment, then blazed orange as he continued to inhale. Holding in the smoke for several seconds, he slowly let it go right into Misty’s face. As he did, he coughed and said, “Here,” He extended the joint between his index finger and his thumb toward Misty.
“Why thank you, Ash,” replied Misty as she accepted the joint and took a hit.
Ash smirked. “No problem,” he said. They kept on walking, passing the joint back and forth between the two of them.
“So,” said Misty as she took a hit, “how long have you liked me?”
Ash took another hit and blushed. “Well, to tell ya the truth, I have had such a huge crush on you since we met,” He smiled and added, “I’ve just been so damn nervous! I had no idea how to tell you,”
“Awe!” said Misty. She paused to take another hit, then, as she blew her smoke, she then said, “That’s so cute, Ashy Boy,” She smiled at him, blushing at the same time.
“What about you?” asked Ash.
“Huh?” said Misty, dumbfounded. She giggled. “I’m sorry. This is some really good shit and I’m already high as fuck!” She smirked, sticking her tongue out at him.
“It’s all good,” said Ash with a grin. “I’m right there with ya,” He giggled, then said, “Now, what about you? How long have you liked me? Don’t even try to deny it. I’ve seen the way you’ve been looking at me today,”
Misty blushed. “Well, um...” She blushed deeper. “Actually, Ash, I didn’t like you all that much when we first met,” she breathed slowly, taking another hit, “but after you paid me back for my bike, I didn’t know why at first, but I wanted to continue to be around you,” She smiled. “I think that’s when I first really started to like you,”
Ash smiled back at her. “Oh, Misty, that’s so sweet,” he said, giving her a quick kiss. Misty’s smile widened as he kissed her.
As their lips parted, Misty passed the joint back to Ash. He took a huge hit off it. By now, it was nearly finished. Ash grinned and held out what was left of the joint to Misty. “I’m about to put this out. You want another hit?” he asked.
“Sure,” said Misty simply. She took the tiny joint in between her thumb and index finger. It just barely stuck out from in between them. Inhaling deeply, she took a nice hit. However, she had to stop short because it was starting to burn her lips. “Here, put this out,” she said to Ash as she handed him the roach. “It’s done,”
“Well, no shit,” said Ash with a smirk. He pulled out his menthol pack and dropped the still-burning roach into it. Giving it a quick shake to make sure the roach was out, he dropped the pack back into his pocket. He then pulled out a pair of sunglasses. Putting them on and turning his hat backwards, he then said, “Let’s go, Mist,”
“Yeah,” she said, giggling slightly. A huge, goofy grin was plastered on her face. Her eyes were bright red and glazed over heavily, as were Ash’s, though they were now hidden behind his black shades. “They better have some food at the park,” she added. “I got the munchies from hell!”
Ash grinned and took her hand in his. “Let’s go then!” They together started running as fast as they could for the park.
When they had reached the park, Ash and Misty nearly collapsed onto the ground as they tried to catch their breath. “Remind me to never run ever again when I’m...stoned,” he said, breathing heavily.
“That goes...double for me,” replied Misty. She was doubled over and holding her gut.
The park consisted of vast fields of green with a red brick path coiling its way throughout the park. A wooded area accented the corner of it. The path branched off at one point, one part coming back around the park and the other going into the woods. Small concession stands lined the path, along with benches to sit down on and drinking fountains to quench your thirst.
Ash immediately spotted a coffee and ice cream stand right next to each other on the far side of the park. “Look!” he said, pointing in their direction. Misty looked, and a smile widened across her face. Ash grinned back at her and said, “Yeah, I know! Let’s go get some!!” Misty simply nodded her head as they took off for the two stands, hand in hand.
Upon reaching the ice cream stand, their eyes widened and their jaws dropped. There were over thirty different flavors. And that was just ice cream. They also had shakes, smoothies, frozen custard, and sundaes of all kinds. “Hi there,” said the owner of the ice cream stand, a young, petite girl with long locks of caramel-colored hair and bright green eyes. She wore a bright yellow T-shirt and blue jeans. “How may I help you today?”
Ash and Misty quickly shut their mouths, regaining their composure. “Um...” they began. Their glazed eyes were skimming rapidly over the vast list of flavors and sorts of frozen desserts on the menu.
“How ‘bout we split a banana split?” Ash asked, turning to Misty.
“Sounds good,” she replied, “but can we drizzle it in caramel and chocolate?”
“Do you even have to ask!? Of course we can!” Ash smirked and added, “I like your thinking, Mist,”
Misty giggled and said with a smile, “Great minds think alike it would seem,”
“Are you guys ready?” asked the girl with a smile.
“I think so,” said Ash, stifling a giggle. “We’ll have a Banana Split Deluxe, and could you smother it in caramel and chocolate syrup?” His eyes lit up and he added, “And could you use chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream instead of vanilla?!”
“Of course! Coming right up,” said the girl, who preceeded to prepare Ash and Misty’s banana split. In no time at all, a large bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream covered in chocolate and caramel syrup was sitting in front of Ash and Misty. A large, peeled banana sliced through the center. Ash and Misty’s mouths watered at the site of it. “That’ll be three hundred and seventy five,” said the girl.
“Aight,” said Ash as he dug in his pockets for his wallet. Pulling it out, he pulled out a five hundred bill and handed it to the girl, who accepted it eagerly.
“Thank you,” said the girl. Holding out her hand, she then said, “One twenty five is your change,” She dropped the change into Ash’s hand, who put it into his wallet. She smiled. “You two enjoy your ice cream now,” she added, handing them two spoons.
“Oh, we will,” said Misty with a grin as she handed Ash her spoon and picked up the bowl of ice cream. She then turned to Ash. “Come on, Ash! Coffee!!” she said excitedly, shuffling over to the coffee stand. Ash stuffed his wallet into his pocket and followed suit.
The coffee stand was merely a standard coffee stand, offering nothing particularly special. The owner was an elderly man with not a single hair on his head and beady, gray eyes. He wore a white button-up shirt and khaki slacks. A bushy, gray mustache hung from his sunken face. “Hello there, youngsters,” he said cheerfully. “What can I do for you?”
“I’ll get a white chocolate mocha,” said Ash. “What do you want, Misty?”
“I’ll have what you’re getting,” she said, her eyes transfixed on the banana split in her hands.
“Make that two white chocolate mochas,” said Ash.
“Alrighty, coming right up,” said the old man. Shortly after, two piping hot cups of coffee sat on the counter before them. “That comes to seven hundred,”
“Okay,” said Ash simply as he paid the man. “Much thanks,” he added, taking the two coffees in his hands. “Shall we?” Misty nodded and they started along the path until they found a suitable bench.
Misty immediately sat down on the bench and placed the ice cream in her lap. Ash smiled goofily and sat down beside her. He handed Misty her spoon and her mocha as he took a sip of his own coffee. He winced a little. “Be careful,” he said. “It’s a tad bit hot,”
“Will do, Man,” she said, emitting a stoned chuckle. “Now, let’s dig in!” she said, digging her spoon into the ice cream and taking a large bite. Ash didn’t have to be told twice as he took an equally large bite. A moment passed and they voraciously began devouring the banana split in an almost grotesque manner, bits of syrup and ice cream flying everywhere. They paused only to take gulps of their coffee. Passersby couldn’t help but stare. However, Ash and Misty didn’t even notice, continuing their feast until only the banana remained.
“You want the banana, Babe?” asked Ash.
Misty suddenly looked up and smiled, blushing. “You...you called me ‘Babe,’” she stuttered, giggling nervously.
“Yeah, so? You called me that earlier,” said Ash, smiling at her. “Now, you want the banana or not?”
Misty’s smile widened and she took the banana in her hand. Breaking it in half, she then said, “Open up, Ash,” Ash obliged and opened his mouth wide. Positioning the piece of banana in front of Ash’s mouth, she slowly lowered it in. He closed his mouth around it and bit down, taking it in.
Swallowing, he let out a contented sigh. “Thank you, Mist,” he said as she ate her half. Wrapping his arm around her, he pulled her close. She blushed as she snuggled against him, her head resting on his shoulder. Smiling, Ash leaned in and softly pressed his lips against hers. She smiled through his lips and closed her eyes as she turned toward him and returned the kiss. Time seemed to stop for the both of them. A simple ten second kiss turned into eons for them. They were both smiling wide as their lips parted. Misty then pulled herself onto his lap and he wrapped his arms around her waste.
After what seemed like an eternity to them, they got up off of the bench. “Shall we go for a walk?” asked Ash.
“Sounds good, Baby,” said Misty, smiling. Ash smiled back at her and took her hand in his. Moving closer to him, Misty and Ash began walking slowly along the brick path, entangled in each other and oblivious to the world around them.
When they finally looked up, they realized they had reached the wooded part of the park. It was dimly lit, only mere inklings of light breaking through the towering treetops. Ash smirked at Misty. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a rather fat joint - a pregnant guppy - and presented it before Misty. “Want to?” was all he said.
“Duh!” Misty replied, smirking back at him. “I was kinda starting to come down anyways,”
“Alrighty then. Over the river and through the woods, step aside grandma, we’re gettin’ stoned!” said Ash with a goofy smile on his face. With that, Ash put the placed the end of the joing and him and Misty entered the woods. They continued going deeper until they were surrounded by trees, having gotten off the path as soon as they entered.
When they reached a small clearing, they stopped and Ash took out his lighter. Sparking the other end of the joint, he took a mighty hit and passed the fat doobie to Misty. “Be careful with this shit, Mist,” said Ash as he blew a cloud of smoke high into the trees. “This ain’t the same shit. This shit’ll kick your ass if you aren’t careful,” He stuck his tongue out at her as she took a hit.
Coughing and sputtering as she blew smoke, Misty passed the joint back to Ash. “Oh man! What is that shit?!”
“It’s called Green Lantern. It’s rare kind bud from the Hoenn Region,” said Ash. He then took a massive hit and held it until he couldn’t hold it any longer. He nearly coughed as he blew several smoke rings. Misty began giggling as she tried to catch one of the rings. It severed and dissipated around her hand. She laughed even more, and Ash began laughing as well. This seemed to go on forever as they passed the joint back and forth.
When the joint was finished, Ash took out two menthols and handed one to Misty, placing the other to his lips. He was about to light it, when Misty stopped him. “Wait just a minute, Ash,” she said. “There’s something I want to show you,”
“What is it, Misty?” asked Ash, placing the cigarette in his ear and turning his full attention to her, a peaceful smile on his face.
“Well, you’re a Fire Elemental, are you not?” she asked.
“Yeah,” was all he could say.
“Well, I too am an Elemental,” she said. Taking several steps back, she reached up and pulled her hair tie from her hair, letting down her locks of fire red. She then closed her eyes and put her hands closed shut at her side. A moment later, her eyes shot open and wind kicked up around her. Her eyes were glowing bright blue. Suddenly, her hair turned maroon and grew longer, now stretching down to the center of her back. A blue, diamond-shaped jewel appeared on her forehead. Also, her eyes were now a deeper shade of blue. “However,” she said, “my element is water,” She grinned at Ash as she stood before him.
Even though Ash already had known that Misty was a Water Elemental, he couldn’t help but be dumbfounded at the sight of her in her elemental state. “Wow!” he blurted out. “You look...so beautiful!”
Misty blushed, moving closer to him. “Thank you, Baby,” she said. “You didn’t look half bad yourself in your elemental form,” She blushed even more.
Suddenly, Ash’s eyes lit up. “I have an idea!” he said. “How about we have a sparring match to see who the better fighter is!”
Misty smirked as she powered down to her normal state. “Of course, that would be me!” she said, grinning at him.
“We’ll see about that!” said Ash with a grin.
“Bring it on then!”
