Chapter Three - Acceptance

    Ash and Misty had no way of talking to each other. Yet Ash heard from a classmate that Misty is living at the apartment complex east of the university. Ash and his mom never spoke a word to each other for the past few weeks. Ash hated the way his mother was too overly protective of him. Misty's sisters went off to go back to their gym. Ash often communicated with Lily, Misty's oldest sister, and how she understood how Ash felt. She was going steady with one guy until he left her for someone else. Lily totally supported Ash and Misty's choice. Her sisters, however, did not. They thought Misty was still to young to even think about getting married. Actually, it was jealousy which attacked them. They were jealous of the fact Misty hoped to get married, while they didn't even have boyfriends. Still, the hard three weeks were easing down to a communicative state. Misty's sisters came back and Misty came with them. However, that day, Ash's dad was with them. Ash, did not come home for one whole week. He stayed at a friend's house the entire time. He never left there except to go to class.
    That Saturday, he went to the apartment which was to believed to be where Misty lived.

    "26C, yeah this is the one alright." Ash said to himself.
    He knocked on the door, Misty opened the door. Surprised and already in tears Misty hugged Ash. She cried into his shoulder, saying his name. Ash lifted her up and kissed her passionately. It seemed as if it had been years since they have seen each other. Misty welcomed him in and they started to talk.
    "So, what have you been doing these past weeks?" Ash inquried.
    "Hiding out form everyone. I don't like it but, I have to," Misty sobbed.
    "I think it's time we go home and have another talk, what do you think?" Ash asked.
    Misty could only nod. She picked up her coat, went outside, and locked the door with Ash close beside her. She clung onto his shoulder thinking of only him. She kept quiet and did herself a favor by only walking silently. She knew that if she said anything she would have to burst out and cry.

They finally made it home.

Mrs. Ketchum was actually worried that past lonely week. She felt sorry for what she did. Yet she did not like the fact that Ash would be getting , married. And so soon even. She felt petrified of the fact that she would lose the boy she once loved. The doorbell rang and she sprang up to answer the door.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

    "Ash, you're home!" Mrs. Ketchum exclaimed and she hugged Ash tightly.
    "Am I?" Ash asked in a battered tone.
    "Well that's up to you, son. Are you or are you not?" Mr. Ketchum answered in his deep tone.
    "Fine. I want to talk to you about our choice," Ash came in and sat down.
    He explained all the reasons why he felt they had a right to get married. He wanted to begin a life with Misty. He loved her so much.
    Lily stood up, "They should have a right to their own choices. I think that they should be given the chance to make adult decisions on their own," Lily continued on the way she almost married.
    She shared a room with her roommate in college. He was very different from Ash, but in may ways the same. She was very much like Misty then. But she was left for someone else.
    She did not want the same thing to happen to Misty, however, she knew she could not control ones life. So she helped instead if protested. She would help her sister anyway she could, even if no one else would. Misty thanked her sister and thenagain fell silent.
    Then, Mrs. Ketchum realized, when she got married her parents alwaays stood in their way. She had in no way be able to cahnge their judgement. She did not want the same thing to happen to Ash and Misty.
    "Look, I don't fully approve of this but, I will not stand in your way of anything. I'm going to accept this marriage," She stated.
    "So does that mean you apprrove of this marriage?" Ash and Misty said in unison.
    "Not ever, but if this is your choice do it. I will not do anything to stop you," She looked at Misty.
    "Misty, welcome to my family,"

    Ash and Misty waited three long months until that ever close drawing day.
    "Only three more months," Ash marked his calendar.
    "Three months, 12 minutes and 33 seconds," Ash looked at his clock. It was one of those days where he had almost no classes. He looked deeply into the picture of Misty near his bed. Every year he had one new picture to add. It was already, six.

    A few hours later, Misty waited near the lagoon next to the house. She waited for Ash, even though she was really early. She sat down on the grass.
    "Hi, Misty," Ash spoke from behind.
    "Oh, hi," Misty responded with a smile.
    "Do you remember that time we slept in the same bed when your mom was away. Remember, I couldn't sleep, and I came to your room?" Misty asked.
    "Oh yeah, what about that night we were in this exact same place, in this small field. Watching the waterfall." Ash recalled.
    "Yeah," The two locked eyes and glanced into each others eyes. They gazed deeply, and they drew ever closer. Then they pulled away.
    "Sorry, I thought I was going to sneeze." Misty said.
    "Eyelash, I guess I was dreaming," Ash spoke.
    They again drew ever closer. And they kissed.
