Then Misty's real voice came out."Ash? Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine."Then Misty heard a faint voice enter her head. It sounded like Ash."Man, she rea...ly does care. Did we switch? (slight pause.) Yup. Switched. I heard Misty though. Maybe the experiment worked! Then that means she can hear me now! Hi Mist! Ya there?" Yes Ash." she responded normally.Ash heard her again."Normally he's not that smart. But he's figured this out. He's becoming unusually intelligent. Wait a minute. He can hear me!. I was starting to feel desperate. I needed relief soon. I was unsure how much longer our trip was supposed to take, so I ventured a question to Shelley, "Do you know how much farther we have to go?" We have just a little over an hour to go. Why?" Oh, no reason." I lied, as my heart sank within me. An hour, there was no way I could last that long! I sat quietly a bit longer trying not to dwell on the growing pressure. I realized, however, that I must have relief soon. I got up and started to. "So let's be nervous together." I said. Thatsounded so stupid. "You want to dance." Ben asked. "I would love to." I said. At least I can't say anything stupid whiledancing I thought. Ben was so gentle as he took myhand and led me to the dance floor. He put his armsaround my waist and pulled me close to him. I put myhands on his shoulders and we began to dance. As Benand I danced it felt so good. I felt like I was bornto be in Ben's arms. "I love dancing with you." I said as I restedmy head on. When they got into the car mom didn't start it rightaway. He looked at Jenny with her new hairstyle, new glasses and theminimal color the new shade of red lipstick gave her lips."What is it?" Jenny asked after a couple of moments."I'm just taking it all in," he said."Taking what in?" she asked already feeling self-conscious."Probably the first thing you've done for yourself as a woman."Jenny stopped herself from answering right away and realized that mom wasright. She had done a lot of female.
