All misspelled words in this chapter are the accent of the Jeweler. Enjoy =)

"How do you know I killed him? And even if I did, he's alive!" Paul argued. He was being arrested for murdering Ash, an odd offence saying that the victim was the one who told the cops who killed him. The officer just responded, "Tell it to the judge". Paul fought her but got nowhere.

Finally he gave up, leaving him to go to Fuscia city, where the only court in Kanto stood. Serena and Ash watched as Paul got driven away, his head hanging and a still angry expression on his face. Ash turned to Serena. They hadn't brought up the topic of the get out thing since last night, when it happened. "Serena?"

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry about last ni-" He started. Serena stopped him by kissing him. She giggled and said, "You're forgiven"

"Thanks". They sat in their room, looking out at the view, silent. They blue ocean waves rippled under the crushing weight of the ship, giving it a cloud-like look. Ash smiled. Today, he had made a plan (for once). He would spend the day with Serena, walking around the boat and exploring. He also wanted to take a look at the jeweler shop.

"Hey, Serena, wanna go take a look around the boat? I was thinki-" Again he was cut off. He might as well get used to this as-

"Ooh! Can we go to the front of the boat and look off it? Or could we go to the shops and stuff? I have a couple of PokeYen I can spend on-" This time it was Ash who cut her off. "Yes, yes, we can do all of that!" Ash chuckled and hugged her. Her face lit up and she smiled. He loved her smile. They got up and roamed the boat. While Serena ran off to some clothes shop, Ash decided to go to the Jeweler.

"Hello?" He called into the small tent that contained gems wall to wall. Look right and you saw a ruby. Look left and you saw a diamond. Everywhere! It was dark inside the tent. "Zow may I be of rassistance today, Hmm?" The shop owner was heavily accented but Ash made of his words. "I'm looking for a small, red stone with a Y sketched in it. Also, how much are the rings with a stone to be fitted in?" Ash hinted towards what he was getting. "Eh stone with a Y sketched in it, Zay? I could pro-bably do zat, mhmm... Zas for zeh ring, prices start aroond... Eh, 1500 PokeZen" The shop owner nodded afterwards. Ash was blown back. 1500 PokeYen?! What the actual fuck?!

"Ash?" Serena's voice cut out through the silence. He silently cursed and whispered to the shop owner, "Don't mention the ring to her. Tell her I am here because I accidentally walked in"

"Yeah? What's up?" Ash made his way towards her. She wore a pair of black sunglasses and a new hat. "Ze was in here because ze agsitentaly walked in" He winked at Ash. "Oh. Well, Ok. Ima go to the front of the boat, see you there!" She cheerily walked off. Ash sighed in relief and made his purchase. The stone would be directly transported to his house and he would fit it in the ring there. Serena had no clue about any of this. They walked around the boat again for a little before ordering dinner.

Serena cut into her 8 oz. rib-eye while Ash just feasted on chicken. Loads and loads of it! Although he wondered what Pokemon it came from he decided not to think about it. After the meal they both looked at the bed. Then back at each other. They both stayed silent for a couple of minutes. "How about... we both sleep there tonight... just tonight, because we can decide if you don't like it" Serena said. Ash nodded and agreed. They got ready and turned off the lights. Ash was already in bed, sweating like crazy. Serena lie beside him, her body heat comforting him. Ash smiled and slipped into sleep.

Omg, I'm sorry about not uploading a new chapter for a while. Didn't have the time and I couldn't get to my computer for a week starting on the 31st of last month :'(. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
