Everyone's POV:

I can't keep going on like this.

Late at night, while the group was on their way to Anistar City for Ash's next Gym Battle, Serena found herself lying in her sleeping bag thinking. Nothing much in particular, but one thought kept recurring in her head.

Ash.

Just the thought of him made Serena's heart flutter. Heck, she could hardly get through the day without her stomach filling with rampaging Butterfree. The only reason why she was even on this trip, traveling with them through Kalos, was because of him. Every day she would watch him, her knight in shining armor, train with his Pokemon to get them into the best condition possible. And every day, her heart would crack slightly in two.

She dreaded the day when he would one day leave them. The family he had created with Bonnie, Clemont and Serena would not be broken, their bond was simply too strong, but it would never be the same. At the same time, she admired Ash's willingness to keep moving even when defeats attempted to crush him.

Soon her mind drifted away from herself and towards what Ash was going to do next. She kept thinking about what would happen to herself.

One day he'll leave us, to be by ourselves and go off into a new region with new friends...

And new girls.

Perhaps this girl is pretty. Prettier than me. Maybe she and Ash fall in love, get married, and-

And I'll be alone. I have no one who is as special in my heart as Ash. He is the one boy who touches my heart. Even Calem, my childhood friend, didn't change my life as much as he did, eight or more years ago. I'll be alone with no one to love except someone who is out of my reach. I'll have wasted over a year on something I never accomplished.

Serena whimpered aloud. I can't let someone else take him. I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. But I don't want to be selfish. I just-it will just crush me into pieces if he leaves for the second time. The first time sent me into a year of chronic depression. I can't even imagine what it will be like when he leaves again.

I have to confess.

Tomorrow. I promise I will do it tomorrow.

The next day, Serena woke up invigorated and slightly nauseous. In a hyped-up frenzy, she frantically combed her short hair until she was absolutely, positively sure that Ash would not find her the slightest bit unattractive. She also smoothed out her clothes and cleaned the blue ribbon Ash had given to her carefully. When she went out of her tent, she was excited to find that Ash did in fact linger on her hair and clothes a second longer than usual before shaking his head and continuing to pass down the dishes with the Pokemon food in it. What if he's just staring because I took longer than usual? W-well, I guess we'll find out later...

On the rock by Ash's backpack, she noticed a small, little brown leather-covered book lying there. She picked it up and four pictures of girls fluttered out of the book. As she stared at the photos, any hope she had of him liking her was crushed. Defeated. Part of her wanted to rip the photos into shreds and grind them into the dirt. Another part of her didn't want to touch the photos, not daring to anger her crush. And the final part of her wanted to sag to the ground and sob. She did none of those actions. Instead, she picked up the photos and examined them closely.

One picture was of a girl with short, brightly colored orange hair. She was wearing a ponytail to the side, and from what Serena could pick out, she also was wearing a yellow crop-topped tank top and red suspenders. Another was of a brunette wearing a red bandana with the Pokemon logo on it with a red-collared short-sleeved jacket and dark blue and white gloves. The next picture showed a girl with beautiful blue hair and huge golden clips holding her hair in place. She was wearing a red scarf and a no sleeved black dress with a tank top under. The last picture showed a wild-looking girl with huge purple hair and two pigtails held by large golden bands. She was wearing a pink-and-yellow blouse. They're all so attractive... Self consciously, she combed her hair through her fingers. Serena then shook the book, but no more pictures came out.

So, where does that put me? I think I'm a friend, right? She placed a hand on her heart.

"Hey, Serena?"

Serena jumped slightly, reddened immediately, then hastily hid the book behind the rock.

"H-hi, Ash! S-so, what's up?"

"You were just staring into space for two minutes. You okay?"

That's Ash-being nice, and caring, and compassionate...

"H-huh? Wait, were we supposed to-Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Did Clemont and Bonnie leave before me?"

"Nah, they're waiting just outside of the campsite. But maybe you should hurry up."

"Oh. O-okay. Be with you in a sec." Serena sighed as she placed the book in his bag before handing it to him. How am I supposed to confess to him now?

A/N: This is going to be a multiple chapter story. I hope this first chapter is good...First chapter is so short...
