Home is where the heart is, right?
Chapter One

Ring Ring Ring! Ring Ring Ring! Phone Call! Phone Call!
Ring Ring Ring! Ring Ri...

"Hello?" Misty whispered sleepily.

"Lil' sis? Is that, like, you?"

"Daisy?!" Misty practically screamed into the phone's reciever. "Why are you calling me? And if you just had to call me, couldn't you have done it when normal people are supposed to be awake and not at..." here she took a quick look at the digital clock that sat on the table by her make-shift bed at the Pokemon Center in Virdian City. "2:00 A.M!!! It's that early?!"

"Please Mist, just, like, calm down, okay? I had to call now, but I'm really sorry to, like, wake you up, like, this early in the, like, morning. It, like, couldn't wait. I promise."

"No, I'm sorry Daisy. I shouldn't have yelled. I guess I'm just still tired, that's all." she said with a small smile on her face.

A smile also appeared on Daisy's face, but her's looked forced compaired to Misty's genuine one.

Suddenly Misty heard a loud crash in the background.

"Um, Mist, can you, like, hold on a second?"

"Sure, but what..."

It was no use. Daisy was already gone, but Misty could still hear her voice in the background saying things like, "Hey! Like, watch it with that!" *CRASH!* "I said WATCH IT!!" *CLANG!* *CRASH!*

The videophone had toppled over and all Misty could see was what seemed like hundreds of thousands of feet walking past.

"Oh no!" she heard Daisy cry. "You'd better hope she's still on there because if she isn't I'm going to, like, totally throw you across this, like, room!" Just as she finished speaking she stood the videophone back up so Misty could see her clearly.

"Oh, thank goodness you're still, like, there Mist!"

"What are all those people doing at the gym Daisy?" Misty asked frantically, hoping her sisters were alright.

"It's, like, horrible Mist!" she sobbed as her eyes filled up with tears. "The, like, people from the Gym Director Board say we haven't been trying hard enough! They, like, came by a few hours ago with a lot of these, like, guys, and said that people were saying that anyone could win our badge because it was so, like, easy! They already have a new, like, leader ready to take our place! We told them you were a much better, like, trainer than us but they said that they would, like, make us move out and give up possession of the, like, gym unless you come and show them you're, like, ready to take over the gym!"

"Oh...." Misty managed to say.

"Yeah, and that's not the worst, like, part!" Daisy said with tears streaming down her cheeks. "They said you have to be here in, like, 24 hours or less!"

"But I don't...."

As soon as she said that Misty felt horribly guilty. Her sisters were about to lose their home and along with that the biggest Waterflower possession in her family's history, and here she was being a selfish little brat and refusing to go when they needed her the most.

"Mist? Are you, like, still there?"

"I don't know when the next plane is." Misty said quickly.

"We've, like, got that all figured out for you baby sis! The next plane leaves at 9:00a.m from the Virdian City Airport! We'll, like, see you soon!" she said sounding excited.

"Bye Daisy. See you soon."

*Now what am I going to tell Ash?* she thought.

Brock had been dating the Cerulean City's Officer Jenny for three months now, and had recently left the group. Ash had taken it very hard, and Misty had decided to stay with him to help him through everything. Now that she had to leave she hoped Ash would forgive her, and that he would be alright on his own. She looked over at him sleeping peacefully on the couch that she had reluctantly given to him after another one of their arguments. A few locks of his unruly black hair drifted over his forehead and his arm had slid off the couch. He looked so hassled by everything that she decided to confront him about the fact that she had to leave tomorrow when he woke up normally. She sighed heavily.

*Oh Ash,* she thought *I'm so sorry.*




Well, what did you think? I know this wasn't much, but hang in there and I'll provide you with the next chapter as soon as you want it. How can you get the next chapter faster, you ask? Well, since you asked so nicely, I'll tell you. Do you see that little blue box at the bottom of the screen? Well, that's a review box, and if you type your questions, comments, and yes, even critisism in that beautiful blue box I'll magically be able to see it! Isn't that great?! If you want the next chapter, you'll have to ask! *O.k, so I'll write it anyway, just for the fun of it, but it'll be a lot better (and longer!) if you review! Thanks!*
