A/N: Hi guys! This is just a cute little idea that I thought of, and I don't want to forget it, so...here it is!

Reviews always appreciated!


Just friends. Nothing more.

It would always start out fine. You and I would be walking down the street, arms swinging, laughing about some pointless topic we would forget about later. Then someone, be it anyone ranging from a sweet five-year-old to an old woman slyly mentioning "You look like a nice couple. Reminds me of Dan and I when we were younger..." or whatever, has to ruin it.

I would, of course, blush bright red. And you, the normally dense one, would tinge pink while muttering, "Uh, miss, we're just friends."

Just friends. The words tasted like bile in my mouth.

Why, oh why, did you have to save me all those years ago? And why did you have to flash that impossibly adorable smile as you pulled me up?

It's not like anything's different, anyways...

All my friends seem convinced that you like me. Ranging from Misty's knowing smirk to Dawn's elated squeals, everyone seems to think you, of all people, like me.

Hah. Oh, how I wished it was true.

Then I saw what happened when you and May do when a situation like that approaches.

You don't even flinch. Instead, you throw an arm around her and say cheerfully, "Oh no, miss, we're just friends. She's practically a little sister to me! Besides, she has a boyfriend already."

You barely batted an eye.

And according to Iris, it happened with her too.

I'm different from the others.

Could it be?


"Hey Ash."

"Hmm?"

"...Do you like being 'just friends' with me?"

"Huh?"

"I said, do you like being 'just friends' with me."

"...Why do you ask that?"

"Just wondering."

"...Is it because that old lady just went to us a second ago?"

"Maybe."

"...No."

"W-what? What do you mean, no? Do you-do you not..."

"S-Serena! Why are you crying?"

"I'm sorry. If you don't wanna be my friend anymore I-"

"N-no! What I'm saying is-"

"It's okay! Just go ask whomever you like out already."

"..."

"Well, go on! Ask her out already! Besides, I...want to be alone."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Just go!"

"...Serena, will you go out with me?"

"What?"

"I said, will you go out with me!"


This is way too freaking cliche.

First thing I know, I'm crying, and then the next minute, Ash is blushing furiously while asking...to...go out...with...ME! I nod slightly. I don't know if he notices or not.

And then I'm bright red, too. Because I'm pretty sure he just kissed me.

"Serena?"

I am in a lovesick daze. He waves a hand around, but I am shell-shocked. Finally, he looks to the side, still red. He shoves his hands into his pockets.

"Ah, I mean, that was uncalled for. Sorry."

And then I practically yank his shirt collar towards my face, and furiously smash my lips onto his.

He doesn't move for a second, and I am tempted to pull away, but then his arms snake around my torso.

Boy oh boy. This boy.

We pull apart, our lungs gasping for air.

"Ash?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."


A few feet away, May screamed, "YES! I TOLD YOU SO!"

The remaining girls grumble and reach for their wallets.


A/N: This was a puny one. But this got inspired by a different fanfic. I'm not sure how the changing point of views work.

Anyways, I hope you liked it!

Yours in demigodishness,
