DEDICATION: This chapter is dedicated to the one and only Danyelle!

Ash opened his eyes slowly and looked up at the white ceiling of the hospital. He sat up but then two feminine hands pushed him back down to the bed. Ash rolled his head and looked at Misty with a smile. He then realized he was in only a basic hospital robe and nothing else.

"Ash, lay down. You gotta keep your strength and get better," Misty said scournfully. "The longer you lay down the faster you'll get better."

"Yes mom," Ash replied sarcasticly. "And where are my pants?"

Misty blushed and turned away. She picked up Ash's clothes off the table and set them beside him. He smiled and looked up at Misty with a twinkle in his eye.

"Take any peaks while I was under?" Ash asked teasingly.

"Eh heh heh heh heh.... " Mistys blushed and giggled embaressed. "Ummmm... I might have seen something.... not alot...."

Ash blushed slightly but laughed. "Oh just admit it. You lifted the hospital robe and looked."

"What?! HOW'D YOU KNOW?!" Misty demanded, her face going red in embaressment.

Ash's eyes widened in shock and his cheeks turned a bright red. "Ummmm..... I was just joking Myst..."

"Oh..."

The two sat there in a tense and embaressed silence as Misty looked down at the ground while Ash looked up at the ceiling. Both of their faces were beet red in embaressment and shock. Ash broke the silence first and sat up, giving Misty a gentle hug from behind.

"You know Myst, its nice like this. Just me and you being together."

"I know Ash. I almost lost you today and I've been worrying about it all day. What if I did lose you one day? Just thinking about it... it scares me..."

"Don't worry. Ever since you fished me out of that river so long ago.... well your not going to lose me so easy. Like it or not your stuck with me for a long time to come. Just think of me as a virus or annoying foot fungus. I'm never going away."

Misty giggled and held Ash's hands gently. She then leaned into him savoring the moment. Unfortunutly, thats all it was because a few seconds later the press came in with cameras, microphones, and Peach Schnapz. Long story. Trust me, don't ask.

"Ash! Ash! Is it true you stopped Neilson?"

"Is it true you cut off his testicles?"

"Is it true that your forced him to take a beer bottle in his anal orifices?"

"Is it true that it was a rampaging Kabutops that came and saved your scrawny..."

"Ash, is this your girlfriend?"

"People, people," Ash yelled above the crowd of clamoring reporters. "I am not answering questions. If you want any answers, you are going to have to hit up the police because I am not saying a word!"

"Awwwwww...."

"Actually...."

All of the reporters heads snapped up and they instantly started taking pictures of Ash and Misty...

"I will answer one. This is my girlfriend. Her name is Misty."

* * * * * * The Very Next Day * * * * * *

Ash sat in the Pokemon Center with Misty stradling his lap. The two were currently locked in a very deep, very passionate, and very loving kiss. They were doing more then just kissing actually. Seeing how I got to keep this story relatively clean, lets just say they're hands were having quite a bit of fun. Nothing they hadnt done last night though. Yes they did what you think Im suggesting they did. Five times. Yeah! Heck of a man. (Famous line from Mr. Spangler. Long live Spanky!)

"Ahem."

The two lovebirds broke the kiss to see Brock standing above them. Both rolled their eyes in annoyance at him. Brock rolled his right back at them

"Jeez. I swear, I get a camcorderer and I'd make millions in the porn buissness with the way you two go at it."

"Brock you know you'll use theese memories when you need to... polish the dolphin per say," Ash mocked.

"Yeah and he's getting more then you Brock," Misty countered. "So what do you want?"

"I just thought you two would like to see the headlines in todays paper," Brock said turning the newspaper.

"Ash Ketchum, Pokemon trainer, captures rapist," Ash read. "So?"

"So, look at the picture."

Ash and Misty looked at the picture then they saw it. What did they see? Well, lets just say Ash's hospital robe didnt cover up everything in the frontal areas like it is supposed to. Yep. Thats right. The picture had Ash flashing the camera, unbeknowing to Ash at the time.

"Oh God... " Ash moaned. "Kill me now..."

Just then the phone rang. Brock picked it up.

"ASH KETCUM!" a voice screamed on the phone. "YOU GOT ALOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO WITH THIS PICTURE IN THE PAPER!!"

"It's your mom," Brock said tossing Ash the phone. "Have fun."

"Oh God...."
