Ash mumbled as hunger panged at his stomach. His eyes were comically watery as he overdramatized the situation. So were Misty Brocks and Pikachus. " I want FOOOOOOOD!!!" the group exclaimed in unison " I want juicy lean steak!" Ash cried. " I want a warm fresh croissant!" Misty wined. " PikAAAAA!" ( I want ketchup!) Pikachu protested! " I want Nurse joy! I want her to nurse me back to health.....fall in love... marry..." brock sighed. Everyone stared. Brock started to stare back. He put his hands on his hips " Don't you know Nurses and doctors tend to fall in love with their hopeless patients? And I'm just so hopeless." He giggled in a low voice prancing around like a foolish little child. " HYYY-YAH!" Misty screamed as Brock got up close and personal with her sneaker. But Brock just kept prancing and prancing. " He's right you know." Ash started to say as Misty stared at him eyes wide. " He's hopeless!" They both started to giggle " Amen!" Misty said throwing her hands up. But soon they all remembered what they were doing as Misty's stomach growled awfully loud." OOoohhmmmmm" Misty rumbled uncomfortably. "Come on... Were almost there." " Pika...ka...chu..."(I hope so) pikachu groaned. They continued their journey off to ???? city ( the one with the SS.Anne, I forgot it's name. Let's just call it Port Sunrise okay?)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marissa hugged her knees as she stared at the S.S. Anne. She sat on a bench looking at each person who passed by. She stared at their faces. Studying them making an imprint in her young mind. She than raised a hand with glowing light at each fingertip as she saw a group that really caught her attention. Each fingertip shot out a million streaming beams of light hitting each person with in a thousand miles radius. Each was was hit and stood in place. A dog, catching a Frisbee from it's master was frozen still in midair. She checked a persons watch. None of the hands were moving. She had indeed frozen time. This was not the first time she had done this but her powers still amazed her even now. She slowly approached the group witch had caught her attention.There were three there. But she concentrated on the one walking in the middle. His handsome face and wild hair caught her attention quickly. A pikachu was silently sleeping sound in his arms. His hat bearing the proud sign of the pokemon league. The one on the left was not too shabby looking. Dark skin, Hazel hair, Brown pants, a green vest over an orange shirt. But he did not radiate strong waves of happiness as the first boy did. On the boy's left was a young, slender, pretty girl with flaming red hair. Probably the center of the boys affection. She grimaced in her mind. She raised her hand to the boy’s forehead and lightly pressed down. Ash... Ash Ketchem.. What an ironic last name? Now she knew his name. And his friends from his memory of course. How could he not know the name of his best ( human) friend and his........ well.... Marissa didn't bother finishing the sentence. They all wanted to go on a cruise. She knew this quickly for it was at the top of his thoughts. Well... They want a cruise? she thought. I will give them a cruise. She materialized 3 tickets out of thin air and placed them in Ash's hand. The warmness of his hands softened her face as she bended his fingers to clutch the gold shimmering peices of paper. She started to cry and said aloud " The darkness will be gone soon ...this feeling will be gone soon. The loneliness......will be gone soon" She disappeared into thin air simultaneously starting time back up again seconds after her departure.

" If only I could go on that ship...." Misty sighed." I might even-" she stopped walking as she and brock turned around and saw Ash standing a few feet behind them staring at 3 metallic peices of paper in his hand." Wha...?" he started. " What are those" Brock pried. " Tickets.... to the S.S. Anne!" Ash mumbled dumbfoundley Misty squealed as she went and clung to Ash's arm. " That's SOOOO nice of you Ash!!!! This is the nicest thing youv'e ever done! Surprising us with these tickets! That's why you always had us camping! You were preparing us to be pampered on the BIGGEST BESTEST SHIP ON THE WORLD!! WOO HOO!!!" Misty went on and on still clinging to his arm showing her apperication. Ash , still confused started to babble " uh.... yeah.... your'e welcome... it was nothing ... really..." Mistys idea of what happend wasn't even close to the real thing. But he wasn't about to tell her that they had just materalized into his hand out of thin air. She would think he stole them or he was crazy. Plus He enjoyed making her happy. He espically enjoyed her clinging to his arm. The warmth from her arms circling arond his was overwhelming and relaxing. But he quickly forgot about that as the ship roared signaling it's departure. They all ran without speaking praying it would not leave yet.They jumped aboard just before they retracked the gangplank. A man took their tickets and led them to their rooms.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~~

Misty and Brock were very pleaslanetly surprised ( So was Ash seretly)
Misty and Brock's eyes went wide with glee( or as possibly wide as Brocks eyes could get )
As they looked at the tickets carefully for the first time." FIRST CLASS??!!" They screamed. All Ash could do not to scream with joy was smile so wide it hurt. But then Misty looked at the ticket closer then " ...oh no..." she wispered " OH my god!!!" her face turned pale I knew it!!! Something is wrong with the tickets!! SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TICKETS! I should of known they were no good! I shoudl not of let Brock or Misty even see those tickets! I should of thrown them away!! STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!! Ash thought to himself slapping his forehead and hanging his head solemly. " Ash?...." Misty said her lips and voice quivering" Why didn't you tell us?..." She turned her head to the elevator operator. " Escuse me... there's something funny on our tickets. What does ' THE WORKS ' mean?"
The operator smiled at her and said " You get the full treatment. Pampered all the way. Full throttle. Make over, new wordrope, LOTS of free stuff. You name it you got it!" A smile slowly and surely cwraled up Ash's face. His smile practically lit the ship as he sheepsley lifted his head bright red from blush. Everyone was staring at him.Faster than the eye could see Misty and Brock came and gave Ash the biggest bear hug ever . Ash didn't mind being squeezed to death. Espically by Misty. Unbeknownst to Ash, Misty had wanted to do that for a long time.Misty didn't mind Brock hugging Ash that much but it would be more enjoyable if it was just her and Ash. She took this oppurtunity to bury her face in Ash's jacket, for the first time being able to get this close to him and get a good few lungfulls of his scent. And he smelt so good too! He wasn't gross and sweaty like most guys but he smelled sweet... it reminded her of a place she had long ago left and neglected. The smell made her heart ache for a happy time which had long since passed. He reminded her of....home. That word left her eyes msity ( Hence the name Misty! Tee-Hee) But soon she had to let go of that wonderful warmness for Pikachu was being smushed and well, didn't like it. They left the elevator burnt and blackened ready for a good pamper. Their rooms were 3 ina row and huge enough to play football in!( well.. sorta).
Ash's room was in the middle so there was a door leading to Misty and one to Brocks on each side of the room. Ash flopped down on the bed taking a quick 5 minute nap. As he drifted off into a sweet dream he could help but hear that vauge little voice in the back of his mind tug on his paranoia. Isn't it strange... he thought .. that the tickets that magically appear out of thin air and land in MY hands just happen to be the best on the ship... I wonder....? He didn't have the chance to finish his thought as he drifted into dream land.
Marissa... invisible to Ash's eyes had been watching him and evesdropping on his thoughts. Yes... she thought. Strange isn't it.? She giggled for this was her own strange doing. Then she spoke aware of the dangers that someone might hear her. " To bad you'll have to die before you arrive back at Port Sunrise. To bad you'll have to die before you fall in love."
