Hello everyone! After reading and planning for a while I finally decided to post some chapters of this new story I've been writing. It's suppose to take place after my first story To Be With You but it's technically not the sequel to it. I just thought it would be fun to write something that doesn't involve a fight to the death with pokemon. Anyway this story and a couple of others are still works in progress, so if you guys have any ideas they will be appreciated. All criticism welcome!

Happy reading!

Chapter 1: Who You Gonna Call?

It had been a few days since Ash had asked Misty to marry him, and now that she had said yes, the next thing to do would be to call everyone to tell them the good news. And then came the problem.

"Well, obviously people that we tell are the ones who are obviously invited right, so who should we tell first?" Misty asked.

"Hmm…well our main friends are out of the way…and mom already knows. Hey did you tell your sisters yet?" Ash said.

"My sisters?" She flinched at the thought of telling them anything. "Can't we wait a little while to tell them?"

"Wait? Why? And for how long?"

"Well, a few weeks before the wedding would be nice…" Misty said, as she folded her arms and sat down on the living room couch next to him.

Ash laughed, "Are you serious? C'mon Misty, you know you have to tell them."

"Ash! If I tell them they would want to take over everything!" She whined. "I bet Lily would want to make some kind of underwater show to go with it all."

"An underwater show huh? That sounds like fun, but it would be hard to kiss."

Misty narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, maybe you'll get to dress up as a mermaid in a wedding dress! That would be cool!" Ash's eyes danced with excitement.

Misty tried her best to control her anger, but she was so close to bringing out her trusty mallet on the unsuspecting Ash.

Ash finally noticed it fortunately, "Hey, you are serious aren't you? You really don't want them to know about our wedding?"

Misty sighed. "I don't know. They had teased me for all my life and I don't really think they deserve to come."

"C'mon Misty, if I could invite Gary after all the stuff we've been through, then you got to invite your sisters, especially since there's only two of them left."

She looked down at her shoes. She would feel a bit bad if Lily and Daisy weren't there to see her get married, but…pride was always a hard thing for her to swallow.

"Fine, I guess it won't hurt to mention it to them."

"Alright! We got that settled, now let's see who would be next…hey, maybe Melody can come!"

That was promptly answered by a mallet to the head.

"Well…I guess that's settled too…" Ash murmured as he was flinching on the ground.

Pikachu sighed next to him. "Pikachu…" (Idiot…)

"Let's see who else to invite…" Misty whispered as she tapped her pencil on a sheet of notebook paper. She had pretty much had wrote the names down of everyone she could think of, even names of people she hadn't seen in years, but was still stricken with the guilt of forgetting someone.

"What are you up to dear?" Delia asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"Well I was thinking of people to invite for our wedding…but I think I ran out of people…" she sighed.

Delia picked up the paper and began to giggle. "Sweetheart this is only about twenty people!"

"Well, I figure I would start with family first, but we're all so spread out that it would be hard to reach them all. Besides, I'm going to invite all of Cerulean and that should be plenty, but don't worry I'm sure they won't all come." Misty laughed.

"Ah, that sounds like our family," Delia smiled, "Luckily for us I already invited plenty of people. Oh and speaking of people, I've set up some connections and fixed it so you two would be able to marry in the church on the far east side of Pallet! Ash knows where it is, but tomorrow I'll take you both there to see it. It's the perfect place for a big wedding."

"Well I'm sure as long as there's food Ash would be happy anywhere," Misty said.

"I heard that!" Ash said from the back door. He had just walked in on the conversation after a long day of training with Pikachu and a few other pokemon.

"Well it's true," she said, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Well at least I don't eat like a Munchlax when I eat," Ash retaliated.

"Yeah, you eat like a Snorlax! Then you go straight to sleep just like one too," Misty laughed.

"Well, I'm glad we're having this discussion about food," Delia giggled, "You know the classic wedding dinner is chicken, steak, or fish."

"Fish is definitely out since little Corsola here is a water lover," Ash stuck his tongue out at her.

"We can decide that later," Misty said. "Now I just have to call my sisters and ask them to come."

"You really need to quit putting it off Mist."

"Yeah, yeah," she murmured inching her way closer to the videophone. As she dialed the number she was a bit nervous, but Ash was there with a hand on her shoulder to calm her.

"Hello?" A young blonde woman answered.

"Daisy!" Misty yelled. She was a bit relieved to see her, since she always felt she had more of a connection with Daisy instead of Lily.

"Oh, like, hey there you are! Just when we were starting to get worried about you! Lily get over here, Misty is on the phone!"

A few seconds later another young woman appeared her long pink hair in tight curls. "Hiya Ash!" She waved to him and neglected Misty completely.

"Uh, heh, hey Lily…" Ash waved back reluctantly, once again feeling his fiancée's jealousy.

She does that just to piss me off! Just because she has a crush on Ash doesn't mean she has to flaunt it in my face all the time! Misty eventually swallowed her anger and began to speak again.

"I'm sorry I didn't call you guys earlier…I've been a bit busy over here," she said calmly.

"Like, when are you coming back little sis? I just met this guy and he wants to take me back with him to Hoenn!" Lily said in a childish voice. Even though she wasn't the youngest anymore she still acted like it from time to time.

"Wait, wait, you just met a guy and you're leaving for Hoenn with him?!" Ash butted in.

"Oh don't worry Ashy-poo, I'll bring you back a postcard!" She smiled and winked at him.

Misty clinched her fist again in efforts to re-control her anger. Ashy-poo?!

Daisy finally cut Misty off from saying something and asked, "Anyway, that is a good question, when are you coming home? We've been a bit worried, and trainers are starting to come back to the gym for badges again."

Misty sighed, "You haven't been giving out any badges have you?"

"No way, I battled them, but I'm not as good as you," Daisy giggled. "Besides that we miss you."

"Don't worry, I should be home tomorrow, I just wanted to hang around Ash a bit longer," Misty smiled.

Ash was tired of all the small talk and was unable to hold back the good news. "Oh, enough of this, Lily, Daisy, your sister and I are now engaged!"

This certainly put a halt to the random chit chat. "E-engaged?!" Lily stuttered.

"That's right, engaged, so I'm afraid your little 'Ashy-poo'—wait what am I talking about—he isn't your 'Ashy-poo'!" Misty yelled.

"Uhm, could we possibly come up with a better name besides that? I feel like I'm at the butt of a dirty joke," Ash murmured.

"Oh, Ash, Misty, I'm so happy for you two! Congratulations! Looks like we've got something else to celebrate now, right Lily?" Daisy turned to see Lily nod and smile happily.

"What do you mean?" Misty asked.

"That's another reason we wanted you to hurry and get home. See we got a letter today from Violet and she says that she's happily staying somewhere off in southeast Unova!"

"Violet?!" Misty and Ash blurted this out loud in shock.

"Are you serious?" Ash asked.

"Dead serious," Daisy continued, "She said she's doing fine, she found a boyfriend out of all things, and she'll be coming home in a few months! I thought that was the best news we heard all day, but apparently we were wrong!"

Misty stood there in absolute shock, unable to believe that this would be the news to stop her verbal rampage.

Violet's…coming home?
