Pov: Ash
"You're taking Ruby somewhere nice, correct?" Yang asked.
"Well I was thinking maybe a movie or something. But I'm going to do whatever she wants." I said.
"Correct answer." Cinder said.
"And I promise to be back by six." I said.
"Correct." Yang smiled. "Because if you aren't back by then, I will peel your skin off."
"Ah Yang, so young, you first cut him up and squeeze salted lemonade into the wounds." Cinder said.
I just sat there, fearing my own safety.
"Now Ash, go have fun." Yang said. "This is enough for a movie and lunch with Ruby."
I walked out of the room and was immediately grabbed by Torchwick.
"Here's a list of things and places she loves." He said. "Don't take their threats lightly."
"I won't." I said.
I walked out of the house to see Ruby. She had her red cape, a black shirt, and jeans on.
"Hey there Ash." Ruby said. "Ready?"
"Yeah. Uh where would you like to go?" I asked.
Ruby seemed to think.
"How about wherever our hearts take us?" Ruby asked.
"I think I know what you wanna do first." I smiled.
Pov change: Yang
I saw Ash and Ruby pull out their Beowulfs and hop on. In an instant, they were dashing off.
"You think she's safe?" Cinder asked.
"The entire time he's been here, he hasn't done anything that would be considered inappropriate. Also, Ruby would never be willing to try anything to soon. I think she's in safe hands." I said.
"Very well." Cinder said as she walked away.
Pov change: Ash
"Where are we going?!" I asked.
"Hehehe wherever I want, right?!" Ruby laughed.
"I don't know if I like that laugh." I said.
We came to a halt when Ruby was gasping in awe.
"The new camp camp movie is out!" Ruby said.
We hopped off and returned our Beowulfs.
"Satoshi, please! Pleasepleaseplease." Ruby begged.
"Okay." I said.
We walked up and ordered tickets. We walked in and I let Ruby order whatever she wanted.
"Two chocolate chip cookies, a large popcorn, a large slurpee…"
Oh dear god what have I done…
We walked into the theater, both of us carrying Ruby's order.
We sat down and watched as the movie started. I looked at Ruby as she began to nibble on her cookie.
"You look really cute." I said.
Ruby looked at me and smiled before resting her head on my shoulder.
"Shh. Movie." She said.
"What is camp camp?" I asked.
"Stop." Ruby playfully whacked my shoulder.
"Oh I'm sorry," I chuckled, "I guess I'll just ask during the movie."
Ruby gasped.
"You wouldn't dare." She said. "I will make you choke on popcorn."
"Okay I guess, but you know what this means." I said.
"Huh?" She looked at me.
"You have to show me the rest of camp camp." I said.
"Okay. Okay. Hush." Ruby said.
Later
"That was such a great movie!" Ruby yelled.
"How did Max set space on fire?" I asked.
"You didn't see that he switched the hose from water to gas?" Ruby asked.
"Oh…" I said.
"Okay, its one o'clock, what should we do now?" Ruby asked.
"How about some lunch?" I asked.
"Okay." Ruby said. "I'm hungry actually so it's perfect."
"How are you hungry?!" I asked.
Ruby laughed.
We found a small cafe and sat down. We placed our orders. I ordered a sandwich with some chips and Ruby ordered fish and chips.
"So Ruby… I have a question." I said.
"Yeah?" She asked as she sipped her water.
"Um, you don't have to tell me if it's too personal, but… what happened to your mom and Yang's mom?"
"My mom… Summer Rose, she died. She had… she had cancer. Cinder and I were maybe six and two, Yang was four. One day while we were all watching TV with her, dad came in and told us to leave the room. That's when we heard the flatline and we at first, I didn't know until Cinder began crying…" Ruby said.
"I-I'm sorry." I said.
"It's fine. You didn't know. Yang's mom… she told her and her dad that she was going to get some groceries and then… she just didn't come home."
"She just left?" I asked.
"Yeah… Yang tried to find her, but she came back with no luck." Ruby said.
"Here are your orders." The waitress handed us our food.
"Thank you." We said.
"You know Satoshi, this was fun." Ruby changed the subject.
"I'm glad you had a good time." I said.
"I'm glad that I had a good time with you." Ruby said.
I smiled.
Ruby placed her hand on mine and I placed my hand on hers.
Later
We were walking back to the house, Ruby holding my arm.
"I had fun." Ruby said.
"I'm glad." I said.
Ruby tugged on my arm. When I looked at her, she pulled me in for a quick peck on the cheek.
"AHA!" We heard.
We looked towards the house and we saw Yang and Neo. Yang had a camera and Neo was silently laughing.
"Yang!" Ruby yelled.
"Don't mind us! Go back to kissing your boyfriend." Yang said.
"He's not my… well I guess he… SHUT UP!" Ruby yelled
I looked at Ruby. I grabbed her and pulled her in for a kiss.
"WOOO!" Yang cheered.
Ruby and I broke apart and she smiled.
"I guess you are now my boyfriend." She said.
"I guess I am." I said.
"Well… that's another thing I'm glad about." Ruby smiled.
"We will give you some space." Yang said.
"For some reason, I doubt that." I said.
Yang winked before she and Neo walked in.
"I love you." Ruby said.
"I…AGGH!" I grabbed my head on agony.
"ASH?! What's wrong?!" Ruby asked.
"It's a memory…" I groaned.
'…I have something I need to…'
'What is it, S…'
'…lings for you.'
'Serena… can't…'
Pov change: Ruby
All I could do was watch Ash as he was groaning in pain. This was bad.
"Yang! Cinder!" I yelled.
Cinder and Yang ran out and saw Ash.
"What happened?" Yang asked.
"I think I triggered a memory or something. I just said that I loved him and he started screaming." I said.
"Come on." Yang said as she picked Ash up.
Neo came out and helped too.
They walked him into his room where Pikachu was constantly yapping. I grabbed one of Ash's pokeballs.
"Here. Lucario come out." I said.
'Mistress, what has happened?' Lucario asked.
"Ash had a memory return to him." I said.
I notice Neo's eyes widen. Yang grabbed Neo and took her into the other room.
Lucario placed his paw over Ash's head.
'Master will be fine. He jut needs rest.' Lucario said.
"Very well. Lucario return." I said.
Cinder looked at me as I returned Lucario.
"What?" I asked.
"Did he try anything?" She asked.
"No, other than kiss me, which I allowed." I said.
"Very well." Cinder said as she left.
I sat down and held Ash's hand. Yang walked in and quietly shut the door.
"Neo knows. She promises not to tell." Yang said.
I nodded my head and looked at Ash.
"I'll let you know when dad comes back." Yang said.
I nodded again and waited.
Later
Pov change: Ash
I opened my eyes to see Ruby was lightly snoring.
"Hey…" I sighed.
Ruby immediately woke up and looked at me.
"Ash!" She hugged me.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Ruby said.
Ruby leaned in and kissed me on the lips.
"So that wasn't a dream?" I asked.
"Nope." Ruby smiled.
"Well it's like you said." I said.
"Hm?"
"Another thing to be glad about." I said.
Ruby chuckled.
"Come on, let's get some food." Ruby said as she pulled me up.
That memory was… odd. She seemed so familiar but I couldn't seem to figure out who she was. But that doesn't matter. Right now, I couldn't be happier.
