Part 2 of "When Ash Met Misty.
>Brief timeskip
>Ash and Misty are going to introduce their respective best friends to each other.
>Ash's friend finds the entire concept of Misty absurd. A woman who is attractive, has a good personality, spends a lot of time with Ash, and Ash does not wish to date her? Ash's friend believes Ash is lying about one of these things
>Ash is a little bothered and does a whole spiel about how Misty is in fact, all of those things.
>Ash and Misty have a plan. Ash's friend dates Misty, Misty's friend date Ash. This way their friend groups can be merged and they can stay platonic
>The plan is starting to fail, Ash and Misty's friends show interest in EACH OTHER
>The plan crashes, Ash and Misty go back to their friendship while their friends go home together
>Ash runs into a woman from his past and her new husband, he plays it off
>It becomes apparent that it's bothering him
>Ash and Misty get into an argument about how he can't seem to hide his emotions, and Misty is always hiding them.
>Timeskip, Ash and Misty are still close friends, dating other people
>Timeskip again. Misty is upset that a previous boyfriend is getting married, Ash chooses to comfort her, one thing leads to another and they bang
>Ash and Misty are terrified of what this would do to their friendship, they both play it off and try to pretend it didn't happen
>Doesn't last, Misty can only keep up the act for so long, she is furious that Ash doesn't think it meant anything.
>Ash is upset that it can't just be a random moment in their lives
>Misty is clearly upset about how easily ash was able to move on, how easily he was able to walk away
>Misty slaps ash, ending the argument
>Misty has cut off Ash, Ash has been sending her increasingly comedic messages to get her attention
>She eventually answers when he tries singing.
>Ash apologizes, asks if they want to be new years dates (every year if they have no date, they just default to each other to hang out)
>Misty declines
