Ash and Serena heard Miette's voice, and quickly, went back inside. Pikachu came running up to them.
"Pika, pi pika pika!" The electric mouse Pokémon shouted, as the pair noticed Miette was in the room and began searching for Ash. Everyone else grabbed vinegar bowls, except for Ash and Serena. Then, Paul came up to them.
"Are you guys ready? He asked the two. "Everyone else got the vinegar out, while you two were kissing out there."
Upon hearing Paul's comment about them kissing, their faces became red like a tomato.
"Y-You saw us?" Serena questioned him.
"Well, actually, only Dawn did. She just told me." Paul answered.
"Oh," Serena said, while turning to Ash. "so you guys are going to pour vinegar on her then?"
"Yeah. That's the plan." Ash responded with a smile on his face.
"Good," Serena said, as she nodded. "after what Dawn told me what Miette said to her, she deserves it."
The blonde performer looked relived that Ash will never fall for Miette, especially since he and her are now a couple.
"I just don't want you to fall in love with her. She is the biggest snob in the whole school." Serena told him, which Ash gave Serena a little kiss on the lips, to ease her worries.
"Don't worry, I would never date her; besides, you're the only girl for me." Ash stated, which made Serena smiled.
"I know," Serena responded. "I just got nervous after what Miette said to Dawn earlier today."
Paul coughed, to get their attention. "I don't mean to interrupt this touching moment; but right now, Serena, go over to where Dawn is and be ready to pour vinegar on Miette."
"Alright. I'll be there in a minute." She stated, as Paul and Pikachu walked away to join the others.
She then gave a little kiss on Ash's cheek, before heading to where Dawn was. Ash walked away, waiting for Miette to find him. I hope this works. If it doesn't, then I'm dead. Ash thought to himself.
Then, he spotted Miette coming over. Ash tapped his foot twice, signaling to the others that Miette was coming. He then grabbed hold of the bottle in his back pocket.
"Hey Ash. Where is Serena, or does she not care about you anymore." Miette asked him, hoping that he would tell her that Serena broke his heart and left him alone.
"No, but I do want to tell you something though." Ash said, while tapping his foot five times to let the others know that he was ready to go.
"What is it? Do you love me?!" Miette squealed, causing everyone to look at them. They all had some vinegar on them, and were ready to go.
"Again no... but NOW!" Ash yelled, as he takes his bottle and dumps it on Miette, followed by everybody else. The others came out with their bowls and dumped them on her.
"AHHH! You are all losers!" Miette screamed at everyone, and then, just ran away.
Once she left, all of the kids did high fives and cheered. The prank was a success. Most of them were calling stuff out like: "The wicked witch of the west is dead!" or "Long live the queen!" Some even took the liberty of shouting both. After all of that was over, Dawn cued the party to go on. Serena quickly took Ash's hand and took him to the dance floor. The others went off on their own.
Eventually, it was time to go. Everyone said goodbye and departed the chateau. Ash and Serena took a walk in the park.
"Thank god that went like it was supposed to. I was almost killed there!" Ash said.
"I'm glad too. I didn't lose you to that bitch, who claims to be a 'guy' magnet." Serena told him.
"Come on, Serena. You really think Miette is my type? She may be popular, but she is not cute and funny." Ash said.
"Cute?" Serena teased him.
"I'm sorry." He said, before changing his answer. "I mean; she is not as beautiful as you are."
Serena giggled and lightly hit him on the side, and then, they kissed once again. As they parted from the kiss, Serena felt her heart begin to rapidly beat.
"Ash," She said. "I love you."
Ash looked down into her blue eyes, which are expressing joy and hope that he would reciprocate her feelings for him. He gave a toothy grin.
"I love you too." He said. "Merry Christmas, Serena."
"Merry Christmas, Ash." She said, as Ash leaned in for another kiss.
From a distance, Serena noticed Trevor and his family walking by. Trevor paused, as he saw Serena kissing Ash. He smiled at the couple and gave Serena a nod and a thumbs up, before walking away with his wife and two young kids, a boy and girl. Serena smiled at the family, before continuing to kiss her boyfriend.
Thank goodness for a little Christmas magic!She thought, while still kissing Ash in the cold.
This has truly been the best Christmas for both her and Ash. She has finally overcome her worries; and as a result, she and Ash will be together for the rest of their lives. They will tell their story to their own children on every Christmas because it's a story that they will always treasure and love for the rest of their lives. God has made them special for each other because he loves them very much.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
