Serena, Penelope, and Bonnie were up early helping Serena gain some confidence. However, it did not go so well…..

"Alright Serena, just pretend I'm Ash" Penelope told her.

Serena walked up to Penelope nervously.

"Umm….H-hi Ash….I-I like….umm"

"C'mon, you can do it"

"I-I like your hat"

Penelope and Bonnie face palmed themselves. They tried a lot of strategies like slipping it in a conversation, being straight forward, giving little hints, yet nothing worked. Bonnie pulled Penelope to the side.

"She's even worse than Clemont at love"

"We did promise we would help though"

"Time to try something different"

"How about we see if Ash likes her"

"How do we do that?"

"If he asks Serena to the dance…"

"Then we'll know for sure"

"Are you too done talking yet?" Serena asked.

Penelope and Bonnie nodded and told Serena their plan. It was perfect, now thy just needed to wait. In half an hour, Ash and Clemont woke up to the scent of fresh waffles. Serena had been cooking and shaped them into hearts for Ash trying to give him a hint. She just gave Clemont regular ones so Ash might get what it means. Sadly, Ash gulped them down without even noticing. This was going to be harder than they thought. Later that day, Penelope and Clemont went into town leaving Ash, Serena, and Bonnie alone.

Serena and Bonnie sat on a few logs watching Ash train his Pokémon for his next gym battle. It was a bit loud with all the minor explosions. Bonnie stared at Serena. Her face was concentrated on Ash. Bonnie even waved her hand in front of her and shouted in her ear a few times. Serena was in a trance.

"Serena!" Bonnie shouted.

Startled, Serena jumped off the log she was sitting on. Her ears were practically ringing from all the shouting.

"Why would you that?!"

"I think I found a way to see if Ash likes you"

"Really?"

"Why don't you send Fennekin over to spy on them and see if she can pick up any information"

"I don't know about this Bonnie"

"C'mon, the dance is coming up"

Serena sighed to herself. She knew this was wrong, but a part of her still wanted an answer.

"Fennekin, come out" Serena said throwing the Pokeball in the air.

Out came the fire fox. Fennekin looked up at her trainer.

"What are we doing today Serena?"

"Actually, I need you to spy on Ash for me"

"Love?"

Serena nodded her head in embarrassment. Fennekin walked over to Ash and his Pokémon. She hid behind a tree and watched. The conversation went something like this...

Ash: Are you all aware of the gym plan?

Pikachu: We are going to win this...unless the dance gets in the way

Ash: I know. We promised though.

As Ash and Pikachu talked, the others took a break from all their training and hard work. Froakie sat down under an oak tree and closed his eyes.

"Hey" a voice whispered.

Froakie looked up to see the two birds in the tree branch above him.

"What are you doing here?"

Fennekin heard the conversation and turned her attention away from Ash.

"We need to talk to you about something"

With that being said, the two of them flew off. Froakie trailed after them unaware that Fennekin was following. As he made it back to the willow tree and the small, flowing river, Taillow and Taillette flew down. Fennekin hid behind the willow tree.

"We were wondering if you got a date to the dance" Taillette asked.

"I told you guys, I don't even want to go"

"Why not?"

"I just don't. It's a waste of my time. Also, why did you have to call me now? My trainer doesn't even know you.

"You haven't told him about us"

"Well, Ash wants to make sure we are all completely focused"

"Alright, but eventually"

Fennekin walked out from behind the tree.

"I knew there was a reason you snuck out earlier"

Froakie turned around to face her. He could tell that Taillow and Taillette were enjoying this. The two birds were smiling up high in the trees.

"Fennekin, hi. What are you doing?"

"That's what I should be asking you"

"Just don't tell Ash that I'm sneaking off"

Fennekin was rather pleased by this. She could find some information for her trainer.

"I should tell"

"If you tell, I'll tell Ash that Serena likes him"

Fennekin opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. How did he figure that out?

"How did you...?"

"F-Fennekin, I was lying about that. Does Serena like Ash?"

Fennekin stared at him speechless. She had just revealed her trainers biggest secret to one of Ash's Pokemon.

How are you enjoying this so far? Feel free to review.
