Barry and Leona's story.

Chapter 2: Secret

'You wanted to kiss Leona, didn't ya?' he blushed a deep red, though Leona was only slightly pink. 'Well, I...'

Barry's POV:

'Well, I... DID SHE WANNA KISS ME?!' I desperatly wanted to change the subject. 'She asked you first...' Leona mumbled. I sighed. 'Maybe, a little. I guess...' That was a big lie. I did. A lot. 'Well, Leona, did you wanna kiss me?' I asked. 'A little, I suppose...' she was now bright red. 'UGH! You guys! Why can't you admit your love for each other?!' Dawn was ranting. Officially. 'I did, and I got the girl of my dreams,' Ash added. He smiled at Dawn, their chairs touching, hands intwining. 'Yeah, it's great when you've confessed...' Dawn was staring into Ash's eyes. He pecked her quickly and turned back to his dinner. 'Ugh, you can't keep your attention from food for five minutes!' Dawn smiled. Kenny laughed at Ash, then turned to Barry. 'Look, Baz. You told me you like her.' Dawn looked at Kenny, then smiled at Leona. 'Leona told me for her feelings for Barry, too!' I looked at Leona, and she looked at me. We were sitting next to each other, so I decided to kiss her then, as my dare. 'Alright... Dare time...' I weakly said, though everyone heard me. I was about do kiss her when her phone rang. 'You've got to be kidding me.' I cursed. 'Ugh!!' Ash, Dawn and Kenny groaned in unison. 'Hello?' she asked.

Kenny's POV

'Hey, Barry, don't be scared. Just kiss the girl!' I whispered harshly under my breath. Dawn looked stunned. 'Kenny, as much as you're right, there's no need to be mean!' I shrunk in my chair and turned to Leona who was still on the phone. 'No, we can't! I don't wanna move so far away!' she complained. I looked at her more carefully this time. I noticed she was crying. 'Baz, go comfort her...' Ash looked at Barry, concerned. He got up off his chair and walked over calmly and quietly to Leona, who was still crying. He hugged her. 'Shh... It's okay... What's wrong?' he let her out of the embrace, but he was still close. 'We're moving... Leaving Twinleaf Town.' she breathed. Barry turned to Dawn for help. 'Leona...' - she got up – 'It's okay, I mean, how far are you moving?' she asked a sensitive question. 'Near Solaceon Town,' Leona whispered, back in Barry's embrace. 'Leona! You can't leave!' he stressed. 'I have to...' she sighed. Suddenly, I heard Dawn's voice in my head. Why can't you admit your love for each other. Admit their love for each other. That's what Barry had to do. Barry looked at me. Perfect. 'Tell her now!' I mouthed. He nodded and took Leona's face in his hands. 'I...I love you, Leona.' he sighed. He rubbed his thumb reassuringly on her face.

Leona's POV

Those were the words I never thought I would here Barry say. 'I love you too...' I whispered. 'Awww!' I heard Dawn squel. Ash had to cup her mouth for her to be quiet. He leant in and his lips brushed against mine. 'Finally!' Dawn, Ash and Kenny shouted. Barry laughed, so did I. We couldn't help it. It was just so funny.

A few days later – two days before moving day

(still in Leona's POV)

'Ugh! Why can't I find that stupid purple shirt?!' I was screaming at myself. I heard a sigh and span around. Dawn was leaning on the door frame, holding the purple tee-shirt I wanted. 'Dee-Dee!' I smiled and went to grab the shirt, she lifted her arm sharply. 'Stop it with that name, will you?' she complained. 'You know I was just kidding!' I smiled. She shook her head and passed me the shirt I was going to wear today. Dawn and I left the house ten minutes later, and I was surprised to see Barry and Ash out the front, waiting for us.

'Hi guys.' Dawn smiled and kissed Ash on the cheek. He kissed her forehead. 'Hey,' he grabbed her hand and turned to Barry and I. We were blushing at each other. I heard a sigh and looked at Dawn. Her sigh, obviously. Her free hand was slapped across her face. Ash chuckled at her and pulled her down the street to the field.

Dawn's POV

'Ash, why are we going here, again?' I asked, cautiously. 'This place is great! Besides...' - his voice turned to a whisper - '...it'll be even better for Barry and Leona,' he smirked evilly. So did I. 'Come on, guys!' I called to them. 'Coming!' they yelled back.

They arrived at the field after about 15 minutes. It was beautiful. Flowers of all colours, all types, not to mention a few random berry trees and the wild Pokemon. 'It's amazing!' Leona awed.
I ran ahead of everyone, dropping Ash's hand, and spun then cartwheeled. 'Whoo!' I laughed as I landed perfectly, bowed, then fell on my back. Ash ran up to me. 'You okay?' I laughed. 'Yeah,fine.'

Barry's POV

Leona and I watched them whisper to each other. 'They were born to be together...' I smiled when Leona said that. 'Yeah, they are.' I felt her grab my hand, and pull me toward Ash and Dawn. I knew I looked at Leona, but I might have got into the habit of staring at her, because Dawn had signalled for us to come over, apperently. 'Sorry...' I turned slightly pink.

Dawn laughed – 'Yeah, well, Kenny...uh, hang on...' Dawn lifted her vibrating phone. 'Speak of the devil, and the devil and the devil shall appear, or, call, at least...' she lifted the phone to her ear. 'Hello Kenny,' Dawn sighed. A surprised look came over her face. 'Yeah, okay, sure!' she smiled. 'Yeah, later Kenny!' Dawn laughed and hung up the phone.

Dawn's POV

I was still fiddling with my phone. I was texting Ash and Barry. I know they're right there, but so is Leona. Kenny was having a surpise party for Leona, and I was texting the information to them.

'Dee Dee, what are you doing?' Leona asked. I glared at her. 'Right... Can't call you that...' she felt awkward, I could tell.

'Can't wait, Dawn!' Barry smiled. 'Awesome!' Ash kissed the side of my head. I giggled. 'What?' Leona asked. 'Nothing,' Barry, Ash and I replied in unison. 'Okay...' Leona smiled her little confused smile.

Who can't wait for Kenny's party for Leona? *raises hand*
