One Night Stand

Getaway

BaCk To ThE pOkEmOn'S!.!>)%$...what am I doing anymore? 

Ash had spent a total of 3 years at college. He managed to get an associates degree with the help of 2 of his pals; Red and Brock. 

Red was a past friend, who moved to Minnesota when he was 12. He decided to go to an in state university, and Ash happened to go there too. They met up and have reconnected. They were back to being some of each others best of friends. 

Brock had moved to get away from the California sun. Brock was about 3 years older than Ash and Red, and had done a normal college run. He was now in vet school, but still had time for his friends. 

"Alright boys, today we celebrate Red and Ash somehow surviving college!" said a slightly buzzed Brock, while at Ash's apartment. 

"Hahaha, very funny." 

"Good one Brocko." 

"I'll be here all night." 

The boys drank, ate, and gamed. About 2-3 in the morning when everybody crashed. 

-1:30 p.m- 

Ash woke up to a his ringtone. He was sleeping on the floor, all sprawled out. He answered the phone. 

"Hello." 

"You sound like sh!t." It was Red.

"I just woke up." 

"Figured, anyways I think I left my xbox at your place." Ash looked at the T.V. and saw the fabled xbox. 

"You did." 

"Ok, well I'll come over later to pick it up." 

"Sounds good." 

"See ya." 

"See ya." Ash hung up the phone. 

He figured he'd better clean up. Ash was in the middle of cleaning, when he heard a noise from outside. He looked and saw a bunch of teens jamming out. He could just make out the lyrics. 

I'm always workin', slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from that same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist,
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

"Good song." Once Ash was done, he went to his laptop. 

The screen had 2 unread messages. 

Garry_The_Great: (picture attached) Bet you're pretty jealous, ay Ashy Boy.  

The picture was a sturgeon Gary had caught. 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: Cool, can't tell where the picture starts and the photoshop begins. 

Garry_The_Great: You...have...no...proof. 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: You just confirmed it. 

Garry_The_Great: F#ck. 

 Ketchum_NotKetchup: Talk later Gary. 

Well, that took care of that. Now onto the next chat. 

WaterIsLife: (picture attached) Nothing like California sun. 

It was a picture of Misty at the beach with some others. 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: Yes, how I miss it so. 

WaterIsLife: Only the sun? 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: No...I also miss my dog. 

WaterIsLife: I see you forgot about your friends already. 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: No, I forgot a long time ago. It's Mira, right? 

WaterIsLife: Haha, very funny Ash. 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: I'm just a funny guy Mist. 

WaterIsLife: Are you sure you[re not just funny looking? 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: Haha, be glad I'm not there. 

WaterIsLife: Ash, you even with college, you still don't stand a chance against me. 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: Bet. 

WaterIsLife: Well, gotta go, talk later? 

Ketchum_NotKetchup: Of course. See ya. 

WaterIsLife: See ya. 

And that was done, although, Ash was wondering about something. He would like to see everyone again. Maybe he would finally have fun without the stress of school. 

DING DONG. 

Ash opened the door for Red. 

"Where's my xbox?" 

"Over there, but can I ask you something?" 

"What?" 

"Want to go to California for the summer?"
