Phase 5: A new Start to an old Story.

It was 1 day until the wedding and Ash and Misty had totally run out of idea's. Brock had obviously won this war. It was only 6;30 am and already Delia was out shopping with Ash's grandma for a wedding gown and brides maid dresses. Tom was in Delia's (and his) room trying on his tux. Tonight was his bachelor party. Ash wasn't invited, but Brock was...Tom thought Ash was *too young*. Misty was invited to Delia's party. Tom wasn't too happy, but he was willing to let her go. Ash was invited to Delia's party...but decided he'd rather play video games and be alone all night then talk about boys, and periods, and god knows what else he thought girls talked about.

"So Ash....Was I right...or was I right!", laughed Brock, sitting across from him at the dinner table.

"What are you talking about?", snarled Ash.

"I told you this wedding would go on no matter what you tried!!", Said Brock, with a smug little smile on his face.

"Go die!!", growled Ash as Tom walked in.

"Whoa...boy's....calm down. No one need's to go die!", said Tom grabbing a coke, still wearing his tux, "Where's Misty?".

"Still asleep I think....", said Ash, still snarling at Brock.

"Hm. She was supposed to go shopping with your mom. Oh well".

"Nice tux Mr. Waterflower. very...Hip, definitely you", smirked Brock. Ash couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Thanks Brock", replied Tom, going back upstairs. Ash grinned.

"Your poor poor wife", Ash sighed sympathetically

"What are you talking about?"

"Well you obviously can't ever kiss her".

"why not?"

"Because your lips are too busy kissing Toms ass", smirked Ash, walking into the living room. Brock was only sucking up to Tom too make sure Ash looked bad. Brock follow Ash into the living room.

"Your Jealous!", said Brock, shoving Ash. Ash's coke went all down his jacket. He swung around.

"Of what?", growled Ash.

"That I won... that I was right all along!". Ash shoved Brock into the book case.

"Chill out Brock! I'm not jealous. Why would I be jealous. They aren't married until they both say I DO". Brock shoved Ash out the way and went up stairs as Misty was coming down.

"So...I'm guessing all the noise I woke up to was you and brock...", smiled Misty. Ash nodded, "Are you gonna come to your moms party tonight?".

"No way!", laughed Ash.

"So your just gonna sit in your room all night? I bet you'll come down sooner or Later", smirked Misty.

"it's not that I don't pray to be considered *one of the girls* every night, but I'll just chill in my room", Ash smirked, going out into the backyard. Misty followed.

"Ha Ha, very funny Ash!", smiled Misty. her face slowly dropped from smile to frown, "Well...our rents are getting married tomorrow... I guess we'll just have to put on our happy faces". Ash sighed.

"I suppose so". Ash mom was home and ran outside to Ash and Misty.

"Come see my dress! It's beautiful", exclaimed Delia, running back inside, Misty followed. Ash hesitated a second then followed.

Delia's dress wasn't the traditional white gown Ash could of always imagined his mom re-marrying in, but it looked great. It was pale blue, with flared sleeves. very fancy. Misty was so taken by the dress, she stopped in her tracks as soon as she saw it. Delia was jumping up and down happily by the dress at Misty's reaction.

"Isn't it beautiful!".

"it's...unbelievable...", Misty muttered, still in shock. Ash thought it was beautiful, but thought Misty was way over re-acting. Obviously Delia had the same reaction in the store.

"It's awesome mom", smiled Ash. Delia was still smiling.

Later that night, Brock and Tom got all dressed up and left for the party. Ash just sat with Delia and Misty until Delia's girlfriends started arriving with huge gifts. After all 8 had arrived Ash decided to grab some snacks and head upstairs.

"Delia! he is gorgeous!", giggled Jay, one of Delia's friends.

"yeah! You got yourself a real hottie!", smirked Lee, another one of Delia's friends. This was the point where Ash got up and started heading up stays. it was weird to here his mom and her friends talking like teenage girls.

"Ash. Are you leaving us already", asked Tracy

"Yeah. This is a girl party, I'm gonna hang out upstairs".

"Ash honey, your welcome to join us you know", smiled Delia, the past of her presents.

"Yeah, come join us!", begged Lisa, the youngest one of Delia's friends. She had always had a crush on Ash. Ash felt kool that a lot of girls were begging him to hang with them. And if he was totally truthful, he thought a few of them were cute, although he was totally faithful to Misty.

"Ash... come on. Would you rather but up in that room all alone and bored or down here with me having fun with kool people", smiled Misty. Ash sighed.

"Fine...ok". Ash sat next to Misty with the biggest smile on his face. Lisa couldn't help giggling at Ash's big smile. After about an hour an a half of talking about the presents, the conversation of the wedding. Ash and Misty tried to look happy but Tracey saw right through they act.

"So...Ash, you must be super excited for your mom", said Tracey with a big smile! Ash, who was currently playing with his jacket zipper looked up.

"Err... hmm yeah, can't wait!", grinned Ash fakely.

"Seriously...", asked Delia, happily.

" no", snarled Ash as he stood up and ran to his room.

"ASH!", called Misty. Delia sighed. Everyone was quite stunned by ash's response.

" err...yeah Anyway! What's up everyone!", Lisa grinned, trying to lighten up the moment. Misty looked at Delia, who was almost in tears.

"Hmm...I'll go talk to him...", smiled Misty, running upstairs.

"Delia... do I sense some major tension?", asked Jay. Delia nodded, "Why doesn't Ash want you to marry Tom, he seems real nice and all...".

"no no...", sighed Delia, "that's not it. Tom is Mistys dad...which means if we get married, they can't... and that is really getting to them, they spent the past week trying to get us to break up. Misty even faked pregnant...I just don't know anymore...".

Everyone went quiet.

"Umm....", murmured Lisa, who wasn't to happy that Ash's wanted to marry Misty. Maly, another one of Delia's friends gave Delia her little *wellll* look.

"Maly...I'm not going to pass up a great guy like Tom for two people who are hardly old enough to understand love...", snapped Delia... Maly just rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile At Tom's party....

"ha...and I thought you'd never remarry!", laughed Matt, one of Tom's close friends. Everyone laughed.

"Well you never thought there was someone like Delia in the world", replied Tom.

"I've been on your side the entire time!", grinned Brock, drinking his beer.

"On my side though out what?".

"The whole Ash and Misty trying to break up the wedding thing. Pshh like they could", laughed Brock.

"Hmm, so Little Misty wasn't so happy about your remarriage, I suppose she's still attached to her mother", joked Jason. Tom laughed a little.

"Nah. Sure, you'd think that was it but, nah. She wants to marry Delia's son, and of course, as soon as me and Delia are married that'll be illegal... so they've been yellin up a storm since they got here".

"Oh... harsh", grinned Matt.

"Illegal? Everywhere?", asked Brock, seeming a little surprised.

"Everywhere and anywhere", replied Todd. Brock stopped for a second. He knew this wedding wouldn't allow Ash and Misty to Marry Pallet or Cerulean... but he didn't think it would be illegal everywhere... he actually felt bad for them now. They'd been his friends through thick and thin and now he had gone against them. he slammed his drink down and through on his coat.

"Brocko...where you off to dude?", asked Matt.

"I need to talk to Ash and Misty...", he said as he stormed out and ran to Ashes house. he burst into the door. All the girls looked up at him.

"Hey Brock...anything wrong?", asked Delia.

"No, fine, hi ladies! Hi sweet heart....where's Ash and Misty?", Brock asked, out of breathe. Lila pointed to up stairs. He ran up they fats an burst into the door without thinking. Ash jumped up quick and turned red, Misty who was laying on the floor was also red. Brock didn't even want to think about what he had just disturbed.

"BROCK! What are YOU doing here?", growled Ash.

"Guys...I'm so sorry...I didn't think you guys would be ban from marrying anywhere, I thought only here and cerulean, now I feel so bad, you don't even know. I ruined a perfectly good friendship over nothing!!!", Brock burst out all at once.

"Whoa....brock....chill...All I heard was your sorry, and something about us being ban from everywhere", exclaimed Ash. Misty stood up.

"No Brock... You got it wrong, we're only ban from marrying on this coast... as long as we divorce our parents...we're fine on the west coast...right?", asked Misty with a hopeful tone in her voice. Brock shuck his head. Ash and Misty went quiet and found a place to sit down.

"This..."

"Sucks...."

"Guys... I am so sorry...", sighed Brock, also sitting down. Misty looked over to Ash.

"I guess we wouldn't of even started fighting this if we didn't have some idea that this would happen so...we shouldn't be so surprised", sighed Misty.

'yeah....", whispered Ash. Brock felt unbelievably bad.

"You know what guys... Their aren't getting married till tomorrow...we have time...", Brock said, with a hopeful tone to his voice, Ash smiled, but shook his head.

"Thanks for finally caring Brock....but, it's over".

**The Wedding Day**

" OH Misty! I'm so happy!", grinned Delia, while Misty, Lisa, Lila and Tracey helped her get ready. Ash's grandparents were flying in for the wedding, so were Misty's.

"You look great Delia!", exclaimed Lisa. Misty and Tracey nodded in agreement. it was hard to get Delia ready when she was so jumpy.

Ash, Brock, and Matt were helping Tom get ready. Tom was also very jumpy.

"Less than an hour and I'll be married to the greatest women ever!", giggled Tom. he was so happy, Ash and Brock found it scary.

"Yeah, your free days are over!", laughed Matt.

"I surprised you don't have cold feet.... Getting married in front of all her family and all yours...not knowing if EVERYONE approves. I gotta hand it to ya Tom, Aren't you afraid Delia will chicken out?? I would be! But...I don't want to scare you", grinned Brock. Ash couldn't believe it....Brock was trying to stop the wedding. Tom stopped being jumpy for a second and stood still, thinking about what Brock just said.

"Brock!", Ash whispered. Brock just smirked.

"No... me and Delia talked about all this...we're just fine", Tom said with a grin back on his face. Brock snarled quietly.

"Ok, let's get to that church!", said Matt.

"Granpa!", Ash shouted at the sight of his grandparents entering the church. Ash was never to old to hug ol'grampy.

"Oh Ashley! You've sure grown up!", smiled His grandma. Misty sit out her pop.

"Ashley?".

"hehe....yeah I've grown up! I'd like you all to meet my girlfriend Misty", smiled Ash.

"hello Miss Misty. My, aren't you a beauty", greeted Ash's granpa.

"Thank you", Misty blushed.

"Misty? That's funny. That's Delia's new husbands daughters name", smiled Ash's granma.

"yeah...I'm His daughter", smiled Misty.

"Oh dear dear... after this wedding it'll be illegal for you two to be girlfriend and boyfriend", said Ash's granma with a childish tone. Ash figured by the tone of her voice that she didn't think him and Misty were serious about each other...that they were probably just a lil couple like you have when your 5. As everyone entered the church garden, where Delia and Tom were getting married a thought hit Ash. He hadn't realized what his granma had said till now... not only could he and Misty still not get married...they couldn't be together in anyway....it was against the law. As they walked to their places as Best man(Ash) and Bridesmaid(Misty) the wedding really hit them. In les than half an hour...everything for them was over.

Ash stood by Tom as the wedding music started. Delia appeared out of the church door. Everyone turned to look at her as she entered the garden. She was defiantly breath taking. Behind her were Misty, Lila, Lisa, and Tracey, her bridesmaids. Ash turned too look at his mothers side of the garden. All his family was there...except his dad.

As Misty was walking, she took a glance at her family. everyone was there...even her sisters. Misty was happy to see her mother had made it to the wedding. She wanted to run over and give her a big hug, but she didn't want to ruin Delia's Big day. The ceremony began. Ash and Misty passed casual glances of remorse to each other. The wedding was drawing to an end.

"Do you, Tom Waterflower take Delia Ann Ketchum to love and to hold, through sickness and health, till death do you part?", Asked Mr. Angus. Tom glanced at Delia, then at Misty, then at Delia.

"I....I do".

"And do you, Delia Ann Ketchum take Tom Waterflower to love and to hold, through sickness and health, till death do you part?". Delia spent a few seconds look at Ash and Tom.

"I do". Ash and Misty's heads both lowered.

"Would anyone here like to object?". the 5 seconds Mr. Angus waited for an answer felt like a life time for Ash and Misty, and even Brock. They all wanted to say something...but wouldn't dare. Misty was about to cry when the church garden gate swung open.

"STOP!!!", shouted a young man, in his early 30's. Everyone turned to look at him as he ran up to the alter. It took a second for Ash and Delia to realize...it was Jason.

"DAD!/JASON?", Delia and Ash shouted in union.

"I object... I'm sorry Delia...if you truly love him...I'm sorry for doing this, but I had to let you know...I've always loved you and always will", shouted Jason. Everyone was quiet until another voice rang out from the crowd.

"Tom! I love you too! Divorcing you was the biggest mistake of my life!". it was Jenny, Misty's mom. Delia and Tom starred at each other, then began to laugh a little.

"I guess...we both got what we really wanted", whispered Delia with a combination of crying and laughing in her voice.

"yeah", sniffed Tom with a little laugh, "I love you Delia but...jenny".

"I know...I love you too...but Jason...". Delia and Jason lowered their heads then looked back at their families.

"We'd like to make an announcement,.." Smiled Tom.

"The wedding is off...", smiled Delia. Ash and Misty were so happy. Tom saw the happy look on Ashes face and walked over to him while their families were all talking.

"Well Ash... I guess you should have this ring... it'll save you money when you and Misty get married", smiled Tom. Ash nodded thankfully,

"Thank you Tom".



"Misty...here....have this ring...for your wedding", smiled Delia.

"Thank you!", exclaimed Misty, hugging Delia. Delia let go of Misty and ran over to Jason.

"Hi..."

"Hi De...", smiled Jason.

"I am so glad your back Ja....",

"Me too!". Ash walked over to his dad.

"Hi dad...", smiled Ash.

"Wow Ash...you've grown up...I hear your a great Pokemon trainer"

"yeah...been traveling for 5 years...".

Misty ran over to her mom and dad who were hugging and joined in the hug.

"Mom...I'm really happy you reconsidered the divorce", smiled Misty. After catching up with their parents Ash and Misty ran over to each other and just kissed.

"And here I was about to cry", laughed Ash.

"Yeah... I didn't think there was any possible way for everyone to be happy, did you...Ashley?", smirked Misty.

The End...

Ok. The ending was quite sappy, but I think all in all this story turned out pretty cool! Review me please!!
