"Clemont's Got A Secret!" but he's not the only one who learns a secret this week.


"I can't believe you're spending the night here!" Bonnie was positively bubbly with excitement.

Serena smiled at her young companion. "It sure will be different from a Pokémon Center," she said. She had already changed into her pajamas. Ash and Clemont were staying in the living room downstairs (Clemont had already moved into Prism Tower, didn't have a room above his father's electronics shop, or so he explained).

Bonnie was changing into her Tyrantrum pajamas when she looked up at her friend. "Hey, Serena, what did you think about what my daddy said earlier?"

Serena blinked. "What your daddy said?" she asked, confused. She faintly recalled that Meyer had spoken to her earlier. It was sort of a whirlwind day. "Oh, of course I'll take care of you, Bonnie. I'll be like your big sister!" Serena smiled at the younger girl.

Bonnie shook her head. "No, that's not what I meant." She sat on the bed, across the room from Serena. "He asked if you were Clemont's pretty girlfriend."

Serena felt herself choke a bit. "What, that?" She barely remembered that even getting said. She sighed. "Bonnie, I know you're looking for a wife for your brother, but that's not me. I don't feel that way about Clemont. I'm sorry." She tried her best to let her down gently.

"Oh, I know that," Bonnie said, not even batting an eyelash. "It's pretty obvious that you have feelings for Ash."

Serena sat there, stunned. How did she figure it out? Ash and Clemont didn't know… But young Bonnie had read get like a book.

Bonnie burst into laughter. "Oh my gosh, I was just joking! But from that blush on your face, I guess it's true, huh?"

The Trainer hadn't even felt the blush creep up, but she knew her face was as red as Fennekin's ears. Bonnie continued to laugh. "B-Bonnie, listen," Serena was trying her best at damage control. "There's no reason to tell anyone about that, right? I mean, sisters keep each other's secrets, right?"

Bonnie sat up. "So we're going to keep each other's secrets?"

Serena smiled. "That's right. So feel free to tell me anything, okay?"

"Well, okay then," Bonnie said. "I won't tell if you promise not to tell Clemont that the reason Dedenne doesn't finish his supper is beside I give him treats all day."

Serena winked at the young girl. "I promise. Now let's get some sleep, okay?"

Crisis averted.
