Night One
The stars shone bright on a small lake in the middle of the night. It was peaceful and tranquil, not a sound could be heard. A Pikachu and a Prinplup were dozing off beside a small fire, and not too far away were their' trainers laying together side by side, gazing up into the night sky. The red-headed one turned over to his raven-haired companion.
"That was some battle we had earlier."
The raven-haired boy smiled and laughed. "You and Prinplup have really been training quite hard. I don't think Pikachu has been in as fierce a battle as that for a good while now."
The red-head smirked, "Bitter about losing to us again?"
"In your dreams! I'll beat you next time! You can count on that!"
"Ha ha ha! You just keep thinking that. But who knows, maybe you will…" The red-head moved over and kissed the raven-haired beauty on the cheek. "…maybe you won't."
The two pulled into an embrace. "I'd like to think I will. But enough about battling, let's just lay here together and enjoy the stars together."
"Why, I would never think you capable of not thinking about battling even for a split-second?"
"Hey!"
A playful tumble erupted as the two star-lit trainers romped around, playfully tackling each other. It ended just as soon as it started with a bushel of red on top.
"Ha, I win again!"
"Aww, why can't I get a break?"
"Is this what you mean by a break?" The two suddenly were engaged in a sweet dance of the lips.
"Well, when you put it like that…"
The dancing continued on for several minutes as the two sweetly embraced each other. They reluctantly broke off as a slight breeze swept by the lake, disturbing the fire and causing the Pikachu and the Prinplup to shudder and fall back into a deep sleep.
"They look so cute there, don't they?" the red-head stated.
"They look so peaceful together. You would almost think that they haven't fought an intense battle together and that they are just two old friends."
"I'd like to think so, too."
The raven-haired trainer got up and walked toward the lake. A sense of nostalgia took over him as he remembered something fond and similar.
"You know, this reminds me of a night I spent with a close friend during the Indigo League a few years ago." He looked up towards the stars. "We slept under the stars, on a night very similar to this one."
The red-head looked jealous and mesmerized at the same time. "Oh? You never told me this before? Who was this guy?"
"His name was Richie. He was very much like me in many ways. Some people even thought we were twins. "
"Really?" The red-head went up to join his companion, wanting to learn more.
"Yep. It's been a while since I've seen him. Hopefully, he is realizing his dreams and getting to meet fantastic people during his travels…" The two trainers pulled into another embrace. "…as I have."
"You're so sweet, you know that?"
"I mean it. I never really have been into romantic stuff, but with you, it's different. It's difficult to describe, but I feel more at ease and more relaxed with you- like can open up myself and share something special. It's too bad we can't be like this all of the time."
"We can if we want to. We can always travel together."
"I would love that, but I can't just leave my friends. I love travelling with them and being there for each other. The friendship between us is so important to me that I don't want to destroy it."
"That's what I love about you, your loyalty and determination."
The two lovers laid themselves down and curled up beside each other. "But we can be together for now. For now, we have all the time in the world."
"I love you Ash."
"I love you too Kenny."
And with one sweet kiss, the night sky embraced the two sleeping lovers.
