" Ok, but remember to come up with a few new combinations. After all, you have plenty of time!" Palermo walked away from the dorm room, winking.
When Palermo was gone, Serena sighed. " She thinks I'm ( COUGH!!!! COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!!!) free?! ( COUGH, COUGH, HACK, COUGH!!)"
" On the bright side, you're getting better aren't you?" Brock called from the other side of the room, where he had performed a small check up.
" It's because of Ash~" Brock singsonged. Serena slapped him across his face. " Owww..." Brock whined. " Ash isn't performing well in class. Always daydreaming, not paying attention to the demonstrations that he himself is conducting. He even managed to make Pikachu faint in one move! Maybe because he's paying too much attention to you..." He received...another Serena slap. " Owww..." he rubbed his cheek.
" But it might..." He got yet another slap. " Can you stop that?!" He complained. Serena rolled her eyes and focused on her homework that Palermo had given her...coming up with new combinations.
" Can I come in?" Brock's eyes nearly popped out when he recognised the voice. " DAWN!!!"
Dawn stepped in nervously. " Hi, I'm looking for my future boyfriend Ash Ketchum, do you know where he is?" She asked Serena.
Serena gritted her teeth and shouted
" Back off bitch!" before flopping down on her bed. " Um, hi. Are you feeling ok? Why'd you call me a bitch? Wh do you want me to back off?" Dawn felt Serena's forehead, then quickly drew back. " Wow, that's hot... Brock!!! I haven't seen you in a long time!!" She gave Brock a quick hug then turned back to Serena.
Dawn put Piplup on Serena's bed, then ran to the kitchen. She had picked up a lot of cooking skills in her travels in Johto, and got to work cooking hot Chicken Noodle Soup for Serena. When she finally came out, Brock was replacing yet another frozen towel on Serena's forehead, which melted in about 10 seconds. Dawn sat down on the bed and spoon fed Serena, who couldn't even sit up for more than 5 seconds.
" Ash has really been caring for her quite well, she's getting better. After school, he always comes here and skips supplementary class( with permission of course ) so that he can take care of her. He really cares about her!" Brock rambled on and on. Dawn's cheeks bloated up with envy.
Just then, Ash came back. " Hey Serena, how are you doing? Oh, Hi Brock, Hi Dawn!"
" Told ya." Brock whispered to Dawn. Dawn rolled her eyes at him. " Wow, Dawn made chicken noodle soup? Your cooking skills have improved!" he took the bowl from her and started feeding Serena. Dawn pouted secretly. Brock saw it, and pulled her out of the room. " You like Ash, and you know it. I find it unfair...Ash gets the girls easily, while I...you know what I mean. But we both can see easily that Ash and Serena love each other, even if Ash is too dense...and even if you don't like it."
" Wow, that was some deep stuff. But... I'm still gonna win his heart!" Dawn shouted determinedly. Brock facepalmed himself disapprovingly. " What's wrong? Afraid to admit your love for Serena?" Dawn taunted. Brock fumed with anger.
" Fine! Let's make a bet. If you manage to win the heart of Ash, I'll admit that I like Serena. But if you don't by the end of the week, I'm making them boyfriend and girlfriend!" Brock declared. " Fine with me!" Dawn shouted back.
Ash and Serena looked up at Brock and Dawn when they came in. " Hey guys... ( COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!!!) What're ( COUGH!) you guys up too?" Serena asked weakly. " Nothing." They glared at each other.
" Um...ok." Ash looked at them quizzically. " Serena, I've got to go do...you know...the meeting...with the...council..." Ash definitely didn't want to reveal that he was Champion.
" Got it..." Serena replied before falling onto the bed again. " Tell the council that I couldn't make it..." Serena's temperature went higher as he walked further.
Dawn had immediately figured out that they were Queen and Champion, even though they wore disguises everywhere. And she knew how to win Ash's heart. By force...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Hey guys, I'm trying to come up with a chapter to get the Amourshipping back on track with the romance, I think that this story is getting more and more about Pearlshipping, which I don't like much, so please review some ideas. Thanks!
