To say Ash's friends were surprised by his outburst was the biggest understatement of the year. They were expecting a simple, "Not feeling well," or something around that area. Not Ash blurting out something as outrageous as that.
"Ash that's crazy!" Gary said, "Have you lost your mind or something? How can you swear never to love again?" Gary looked around and made a gesture with his hand, "Especially with so many hot girls surrounding you."
Ash looked at Clemont and Serena's constant flirting, which was starting to get a little sickening, "I've learned that love and girls only bring you pain in the long run. So why put myself through the pain?"
Gary looked at Ash baffled, "Whoa back up. So you're saying all girls bring pain?" Ash nodded, "Okay that's so not true!" The girls looked at Gary in shock, did he really just say something nice about girls, and then he ruined it, "I can understand girls like Misty or Iris, but all girls?" Misty glared at Gary.
"Ash, what happened to you?" Leaf asked out of concern.
Ash pointed at Serena, "She happened." The gang turned their gaze to Serena and Clemont.
"Serena?" May asked, "What does she have to do with this?" Ash explained on how they had dated over the summer for two months and yesterday he found out Serena had be dating Clemont without breaking up with him for one and a half months.
"Okay I admit that was a little harsh, but you do see that she didn't want to hurt your feeling." Misty told Ash.
Ash shrugged, "That still doesn't cover up the fact that she lied to me for so long." Misty opened her mouth again, but he held a hand up, "If Serena really cared about my feelings, don't you think it would've saved me more pain if she just broke up with me before she started dating Clemont?"
"He has a point." Gary said.
"Not helping!" Misty said.
"Ash please consider this, it was just one heartbreak." Leaf said.
"Yeah, Leaf is right." May agreed, "You break up with one girl and it controls your decision about love?"
They were going to continue to talk with Ash, but the bell rang, "I'll see you guys later." Ash said as he gathered his stuff and walked away.
"He really is taking this hard." May said.
"He'll get over it." Gary said nonchalantly, "This is Ash we're talking about, he'll bounce back eventually."
"Gary in case you haven't noticed," Leaf started to explain, "Ash isn't the kind of guy to immediately find a new girl once he breaks up with one."
"Leaf is right," Misty said, "And Ash seemed really serious about this so I don't think he'll change his mind."
After lunch May was headed to her next class when, "May!" May turned around to see Serena trying to catch up with her.
"What is it Serena I have to get to class." May said wanting to get this over with.
"Well if you're in a rush I guess it can wait until after school, see ya." Serena said as she walked away.
"I wonder what she needed to talk about." May asked herself as she ran to her next class.
When school was out May was looking for ash so he could help her with her homework when a voice called her name, "May!" it was Serena. "Can you talk now?"
"Yes I can, what is it?" May asked
"You'll never guess what my mom told me this morning." Serena said.
May thought for a minute, "Um, yeah you're right I'll never guess. Just tell me."
"My cousin Dawn is moving here!" Serena said rather excitedly.
May's eyes widened, "No way really?" Serena nodded and May grinned widely, "That's awesome! The last time Dawn was here was several years ago, and she was only visiting. And you say she's moving here from Sinnoh."
"Yes I can't wait to introduce her to everyone."
Serena and May continued to talk about what they were going to do when Dawn got here when a familiar voice interrupted, "What's up June?"
Slightly annoyed May turned around, "I've told you before Drew my name is May." May tried to keep an annoyed face, but it was growing increasingly hard since Drew was smiling at her.
"Oh come on May, I'm only teasing," Drew only reached into his pocket, "I just thought I'd come by and give this to my beautiful girlfriend before she leaves." He held a hand out to May to reveal that he was holding a beautiful red rose. May blushed and accepted the flower and smelled it.
"Thanks Drew its beautiful." May said any signs that she was mad at him were gone.
Drew reached a hand and cupped her cheek, "Almost as beautiful as you are."
May raised an eyebrow, "You do know how cheesy that sounds."
Drew only leaned in close, "And yet it never gets old." He said before kissing May.
"Oh brother," Serena said while rolling her eyes at the sight of Drew and May. "Get a room you two."
The couple separated and May turned towards Serena, "At least as long as it's not next to you and Clemont's room I think we can do that." Serena blushed and walked away know I couldn't get the last word with May. Smiling victoriously she turned back to her boyfriend, "As much as I enjoy spending time with you I need to go. I have to meet up with Ash."
"Ash?" Drew furrowed his eyebrows, "Should I be jealous?"
"Oh come on," May said, "You know that Ash is just a friend, and I have you reason to cheat on someone as great as you."
Drew smiled and flipped his hair, "And don't you forget it." and with that being said he walked away. May watched him leave before trying to find Ash.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
A blunette girl groaned in her bed as she reached for the alarm to turn it off. "Is it morning already?" she mumbled. She sat up in bed to look around the mostly empty room. The only pieces of furniture in the room were a dresser and a bed. Everything else in the room was one of the many boxes stacked around the room.
There was a knock at the door, "Dawn are you awake?" a woman's voice said from the other side.
"Yes Mom." The blunette know known as Dawn responded.
The door opened and Dawn's mom Johanna walked in. "Okay Dawn I'm almost finished with breakfast so when you're ready come down and get it. School starts in almost two hours and your cousin has offered to show you around the school.
"Okay Mom." Dawn was excited to see Serena again after such a long time. She got out of bed and went into the bathroom where she almost screamed when she saw her bedhead. Slightly blushing in embarrassment she got into the shower.
When Dawn got out she quickly got dressed and did her hair. Putting on her beanie she went downstairs to find her mom making pancakes. "Those smell good."
Turning toward Johanna smiled at her daughter, "Thank you Dawn, now eat up so you can get to school. You took a lot of time to get ready." Dawn looked at the clock and rushed to the table to start eating.
Johanna dropped Dawn off at the gates of Kalos High and she took a deep breath before stepping through the gates. Dawn had only gone a couple yards when she heard a familiar voice, "Dawn?"
Dawn turned toward the voice and her face lit up, "Serena!" she ran towards the honey blonde and embraced her in a hug, "It's great to see you."
"It's great to see you too." Serena said before breaking the hug, "I can't wait to show you around it's going to be great."
"Hey Serena," They duo turned to see May walking toward them, "Hey I was wondering if- Dawn?!"
"May!" Like she did with Serena Dawn embraced May in a hug, "It's great to see you. How long has it been?"
May laughed, "Too long." The ended the embrace, "I can't believe all three of us are back together."
Dawn nodded, "I know isn't it great."
"Totally." Serena and May said simultaneously.
The group of three continued to talk until the bell rang, "Come on Dawn let's show you around." Serena and May went into the school and Dawn followed them.
