It was about two days after Misty arrived back at the gym, three days early, from a short visit with Ash in Pallet, steam coming from her ears and doors slamming open and closed around her as she huffed about the ‘nerve’ and ‘audacity’ of a certain unnamed Pokemon Champion that had happened to catch her ire.
Daisy, Violet, and Lily knew well enough to just leave her alone by that point. Ash always had a bit of a habit of pissing Misty off for one reason or another, but she usually forgive him within the week, so they just continued on as usual and tried not to make her even angrier as she cooled down.
It was only after a quick trip to the PokeMart that her sisters were all standing in the lobby waiting for her when she returned, trying to look innocent and failing miserably, that she had any indication something was amiss.
“What?” she asked them suspiciously.
Lily and Daisy both shook their heads and shrugged, but Violet bit her lip and asked, just a bit too casually, “Sooo, about Ash…”
Misty’s glare hardened. “I never want to see him again.”
“Oh, that’s a shame,” Violet replied, “because he’s like, in the other room.”
“Don’t freak out,” Daisy sighed, as Misty began to freak out. “He got here just a few minutes after you left, and he sounds like, really sorry.”
“Of course he’s sorry! He better be sorry! He’s a conceited, pig headed, immature little—”
“Hey!” a voice cried, interrupting Misty’s tirade, as Ash came stomping into the room, looking irritated. “You’re one to talk!”
“Oh, look who it is! Here to cause an even bigger mess than last time?!”
“You mean like the mess you made?!”
“What are you two even fighting about?” Lily finally demanded. After a beat, Ash and Misty went tellingly quiet.
“Uh,” Ash began, quietly.
“Um,” Misty added, uselessly.
Violet looked between the both of them, flabbergasted. “You, like, don’t even know why you’re arguing?”
The pair looked at each other, eyes widening in realization. “I guess not,” Misty answered.
“Out,” Daisy snapped, pointing to the door. Ash and Misty shrunk back, sheepishly, both turning and heading out of the lobby.
The door closed and the sisters sighed, rolling their eyes. Another two solid days of nonsense for nothing.
If only they’d just kiss and make up and save them all the trouble.
