(And Mudkipster:WHERE DID YOU GO? T^T)
Ash just stares at me, and I feel my face heat up. "N-n-n-n-n-no!" I yelp, holding my palms out and waving them frantically. "It was a joke! Really! I don't know why I said that; ignore me!"
"Mist-"
I stumble out of bed, and rush to the door. "I'm going to go and see what the others are doing, bye bye!"
"Misty!"
I dash outside, and run down the hallway. "Hey guys?" I call. "Where are you?" I stop in the lobby of our hotel, and see Drew with the mummy girl.
They're glaring at each other. "Grass head!"
"Mummified Girl!"
"It's PRINCESS!"
"NO WAY!"
I put a hand to my head. "What are you doing?" I ask.
They point at one another. "SHE/HE STARTED IT!"
I hold up my hands. "Erm...okay? And just before I get to your issue, what is your name?" I ask the mummy girl.
She crosses her arms. "I'm May Haruka," the girls says. "Crown Princess of Hoenn."
"And a pain in the neck..." Drew grumbles.
"Be quiet!" May snaps. "I refuse to be spoken to in such a manner! Now, I command you to buy me some flowers!" She sweeps away like a royal pain in the-
"Misty!" I hear, and see Drew's uncle. "Ah, I wanted to speak with you."
I turn towards him as Drew follows May outside. "You can't go out there dressed like that!" I hear him yelp, but return my focus to his uncle.
"Apparently, there is going to be an archaeologist conference, and they want you and I to attend."
I nod. "Alright."
"And Ash and May should come too."
I blanch. "W-why?"
"Well, Ash said that May is one of your cosplaying friends, so she's welcome, then you and Ash seem pretty close since you came together to Hoenn, so I thought it would be nice to invite them!"
I let out a breath. "Alright...I'll see if I can convince them."
He smiles at me, and walks away. "It's at seven PM tonight, so don't be late."
I nod, and head outside to find the two squabbling teens.

Surprisingly, this costly hotel has a cafeteria...though I shouldn't be surprised because of how much the bill is.
Sighing, I fold up the paper and shove it into my shirt pocket before walking into the mildly busy food court.
I didn't catch up to Drew and May...they both had just vanished after he bought her a rose. I barely escaped Rudy earlier, as he tried to drag me to the movies; no way in hell I'm going with another boy after that incident with Ash...
I blink, and feel sickish. I have to make up with Ash at some point. That's when I see him, he's spinning a straw around and around in his glass of soda. I look around quickly, before grabbing some vanilla cake; I need to have some reason for being in the same room as him!
Keep calm..keep calm... I tell myself as I pass by. "Oh, hey Ash!" I say normally. "What are you doing?"
He looks up, and stares forlornly at his drink. I set my plate down and pull up a chair. "Drew's uncle said there's a conference tonight that he'd like you and May to attend."
"Oh..huh..."
I sit awkwardly. "Well...umm...hows your soda?"
He looks at it. "I prefer the canned kind."
I nod. "So it can blow up in your face?" Ash nods.
I jump to my feet. "C'mon! Let's go and buy some soda before the conference tonight!" He doesn't move.
I link arms with him, and drag him up and out of his seat. "Let's go!"
~.0.~
"Where are we?" Ash asks as we walk into the first exhibit room which has absolutely no one in it.
"The aquarium!" I say, and points at the glass walls as water type Pokemon swim by. Hopefully taking him to see Pokemon will cheer him up!
"Aren't they awesome?" I ask, and turn. "...Ash?"
"I'LL SAVE YOU!" I hear, and turn to see him barreling towards the glass.
"Ash, no-!"
CRASH!
I start screaming as water begins flooding the room. "YOU IDIOT!" A wave slams into me, and I'm practically knocked unconscious. Fighting to keep myself awake, I flail around in the strong water. My breath is disappearing, and I let out a few air bubbles.
Something bumps into me, and I see Ash. His eyes are swirling and he looks like he's about to go unconscious. I don't hesitate, and grab him, before presses my mouth to his, and letting a bit of my air reserves into him.
This idiot! I begin dragging him through the water, and swim towards the door. I pull on the handle, but it is locked. My pulse quickens.
Shit, shit, shit, shit...
I feel the pressure pushing on my chest increasing, and I can't seem to hold onto Ash's wrist; he slips away from me.
Why did I choose to go to the aquarium? I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!
Suddenly, something grips my upper arms, and I blink tiredly through the water. Someone starts dragging me towards the busted water tank and through the hole. In my delirious mind, I realize that since the water was leaking out of the tank, there should at least be a bit of air at the top of the tank.
My eyes close, and I pass out.
~.0.~
I feel really cold, and I sense something directly above me. My eyes crinkle open slightly, and I look up blearily at the face of...Ash?
He must not notice that I'm awake because he presses against my heart a few times, before leaning down and-...blows air into my lungs?
WTF, is what I think next, as he performs CPR. My eyes fly open as he backs away for the second time.
His face is creased with worry and water drips from his hair.
"Mist?"
I feel my face turn bright red.
What. The. Hell!? How many times have our lips connected in the last freakin' 24 hours!? Let's see...the first time was the accident at fountain, and if you count the dream, that's two...and now CPR.
That's...THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY!
Ash notices I'm turning red, and turns away quickly, his face burning. I sit up, and see that we're sitting on a fake island in the tank, and that all the water has drained away.
Where the hell are the workers? Shouldn't they have noticed the big crash and gallons of water coming towards them?!
I stand up shakily. "Let's go," I say. "I think the conference might be soon." Ash nods, and we exit the aquarium in embarrassment without looking at each other once.
"Misty! Ash!" I hear, and look up. "There's big trouble!"
HA! None of the "kisses" were real! They were either fake, or by accident! (Or CPR!) :D You'll have to wait for a loooong while before I write the actual thing. I'm an evil author. ;) Teehee!
Plus, this is a CLIFFY! Double whammy for you all! XD
And I TOLD you there was total randomness in this chapter! But needed randomness. (After the cliffy!)
Tell me what you thought!
