It was the morning after Ash and Misty's sparring session; the two had fallen asleep together in the same bed last night and where now awaking. Misty got up first she looked over to Ash who was still sound asleep, yawning away. Misty changed out of her dirty mage clothes and put on a dressing gown, her plan was to go get washed before setting off to battle. She grabbed a basket of toilettes and headed for the dormitory's wash rooms. On her way she slammed the door shut, the bang woke Ash up. He shot up out of bed and landed on the floor ready to fight. He quickly looked around the room to see that it was empty. He gave a big sigh of relief and noticed how dirty his clothes were, his mother wouldn't be happy. Ash too headed for the wash rooms.
Sadly for Ash and Misty all but one washroom in the dormitories was broken and there was a very long queue for it. Misty stood in line waiting; nervous about the day that lay ahead, she was looking forward a nice, warm bath or shower. A hand then tapped her shoulder and she spun around.
"Ash you scared the life out of me!" She barked at him. The poor boy rubbed his head, he didn't mean any harm.
"Sorry Misty, just wanted to let you know I was here."
"Sorry Ash, I'm just nervous about today. In just a few hours the fight for our future will begin, I don't know if I'm ready." Ash grabbed her by the arms and looked in her eyes.
"You have grown so strong in such a short period of time, Misty, you have what it takes to win this fight." He then pointed to himself and winked, "Also you have me with you, so you know everything will work out great."
"Thanks Ash." The two then stood in line and waited for the washroom, and they waited and waited.
"WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG!?" Ash blurred out. Annoyed, he grabbed Misty's hand and dragged her out and away from the dorms. She tried to pull back but Ash's physical strength was too much for her.
"Ash where are we going?"
"The forest."
"The forest?! Why the forest?"
"I remember coming across a nice peaceful pond near here, we can get clean there."
___________________________________________________________________________
The two arrived at the pond, it was surround by trees and well hidden within the forest. At one end there was a cliff with a waterfall and at the other end a small stream..
"Well what do you think?" He asked Misty with a big smile on his face. Misty took a deep breath.
"You dragged me out here in a DRESSINGGOWN!" she then punched ash in back of the head. "This is nice place, thanks for bring me here."  Ash gave her a cheeky smile.
"No problem. Now I'm going to go over there to get undressed, I will see you in the water I guess." With that Ash walked over to the other side of the water. Misty watched him as he walked away, she remembered the times they would do this when they were out on their Pokémon journey. Misty removed her dressing gown and slowly walked in the water carrying her toiletries in with her.  The water was nice warm, heated by the sun with no breeze to send chills down your spine. She placed the basket on a rock in the middle of the water. She looked around and saw that Ash was already under the waterfall trying to wash himself. Misty grabbed the shampoo and went to join him. Making sure to cover herself, she offered Ash some of her shampoo, he happily accepted and the two stood back to back washing their own hair. After awhile both Misty and Ash tried to look back to the other, they both caught each other's gaze and quickly turned away. Looking back on it, they had both grown a lot since their travels together.
The two friends now sat in the shallow water of the pond, still with their backs to each other. After all, it was human nature to be a little embarrassed about your body. Misty grabbed a bar of soap out of her basket.
"I'm going to wash myself now. You can borrow the soap after if you want?" Misty informed said Ash. Ash gave her a nod.
"Thanks, I think I will."
Misty began to wash herself while Ash was silent. In an attempted to break the tension Misty tried talking.
"So Ash, you're a fully trained Monk now, huh?" She asked with a tremor to her voice. "I bet that took a long time to become." Misty turned red, asking such a stupid question at a time like this, she felt very silly, but she just wanted to talk to her old friend. Ash gave her a startled yet puzzled look, surely they have spoken about all this before? Ash, not having the best memory, answered her question anyway.
"It took quite a while to train to this level, yeah. Still all the amazing flips and kicks I have learnt have been worth all the hard work." He proudly told her, "I'm sure it took you just as long to become a Mage Knight. I can tell from your spells the other day that you're really strong." Misty turned even redder.
"Thanks Ash. It means alot that you..."
"Want me to wash your back for you?" Ash suddenly asked, Misty turned completely red as if she was overheating. In her surprise she dropped the scrubber she was using, Ash came over and fished the soap out of the water. "I shall take that as a yes." Misty rapidly nodded as Ash washed her back. Misty sat there as stiff as a board while Ash happily cleaned away. "Are you nervous about today?"
"Yes, today will be the start of our fight to reclaim the Pokémon world back for the people and Pokémon that live here." She calmly and quietly said. "I'm just  glad I don't have to fight alone anymore."
"You were never alone." Ash told her. "You have always had people by you, to help, to show you the way and keep you safe." Misty got a little tearful and hugged herself tight.
"I, I know, it's just after all this time I'm glad I'm with someone I can trust, someone to depend on. Someone... like you." This made him blush.
"You can always count on me Misty, I'm not leaving you, not now." He said in a soft, whispering voice. Misty turned around, making sure to cover her body. She looked up into Ash's eyes.
"Do you promise?" She nervously asked.
"Do I promise what?"
"To not leave me!" she snapped while grabbing hold of his arms and holding back tears. Ash jolted back a little, and took a good look at her. Ash unhooked her hands. Misty's head shot up only to see Ash swoop past her and gave her a big hug. Misty was speechless, all she could think about was how this was the first ever hug that Ash had given her. To feel his skin against hers, to be so close to hear him breathe. It was like something out of a dream for her. She hugged him back, now she could feel all the muscles that he had developed over the years, he wasn't the same little boy she fished up all those years ago. He was a true man now. Misty closed her eyes and sunk into his chest as he told her:
"Misty, I promise you that no matter how hard the fight, no matter what it takes, I will be there with you." He said with a most serious voice. "I haven't just spent all this time training just to save our world...but to save my world..."  He squeezed her more and whispered: "To save you. I will do whatever it takes. No. I would give my own life to keep you safe!" Misty gasped and begun to cry.
"You don't have to go that far, not for me." She whimpered with her face hidden in his chest.
"I want to go that far, I love you Misty." Ash confessed. Misty looked up, she could tell that he wasn't joking. Her tears stopped as she got lost in his eyes. The two of them moved closer, their eyes closed as they experienced in their first kiss. Their lips locked in a soft yet passionate embrace. As Ash brushed Misty's long hair with his hand the two pulled away. They looked at each with rosy cheeks.
"I love you too Ash." Finally after all these years of hiding it she at last told him how she felt. A sound of trumpets could be heard from the distance. It was a warning call that the enemy was in the area, the two knew that this time would end, but not so soon. They quickly headed back to the dorms to prepare for the up and coming battle, both now with the knowledge that they had a partner they could entrust their life too.
