Hey, guys! This story has finally reached double digits! That's cool, isn't it? Anyway, if you guys have left reviews asking questions on the last chapter, I probably haven't answered them, and if you're signed in as a guest then I'll answer your questions in the next chapter as well because I'm writing this right after I posted the last one. Anyway, let's get into the chapter!

"Obviously, you love Serena!" Misty said to Ash who looked at her in shock

"Wow Misty! You got it right for once!" Brock exclaimed which earned him a slap from Misty before everyone turned their attention back to Ash.

Serena looked at Ash with a blush on her face, hoping that if he did then he'd confess it right then and there, so she could pounce on top of him and kiss him passionately and profusely.

Ash looked towards Serena and shook his head before looking back to Misty.

"I'm not going to tell you if I do or not, but that doesn't mean that I do. I just want to make a mystery for you guys to figure out" Ash told them to which they all sighed in annoyance before they got back to truth or dare

"Alright, truth or dare Serena?" Gary asked Serena who replied with "Dare"

"Alright," Gary said before he walked up to Serena and whispered her dare into her ear which made her blush "What she has to do is a surprise, you'll see what it is when she does it," Gary told the group after he told Serena what she had to do.

"Come on! Tell us what she has to do!" Bonnie exclaimed in annoyance to which Gary sweatdropped and said "She has to go downstairs and say to her mother that she has gotten pregnant, and she has to record it so we can see what happened"

"Come on man! That's too far!" Ash exclaimed at Gary who stopped to think about it and realised that it was pretty far.

"Okay," Gary said before he turned to Serena "You have to your mother that you love Ash"

"Why?" Ash asked Gary with a confused look

"Because, her reaction will be funny," Gary told Ash before turning to Serena "Oh yeah! Record it!"

10 minutes later, Serena was back from doing her dare with a huge blush on her face

"How did it go?" Dawn asked Serena who didn't answer. She just handed Gary her phone which she recorded the footage on.

"Well Dawn, let's watch and see," Cilan said before they linked Serena's phone up to her T.V so they could watch it in that instead.

The video started with Serena leaving her bedroom and heading down the stairs and into the living room where her mum was sitting watching T.V. Serena sat down opposite her mother and said "Mum, can we talk for a second?"

"Sure" Serena's mum, Grace replied

"Well, you know, Ash?" Serena started

"Yeah… What about him?"

"I, uhh, kind of have a bit of a crush on him…" Serena said quietly. Grace just sat in silence. She turned the T.V off and looked at Serena

"So? Why are you telling me? If you love him then you can be with him if you get the chance. He seems nice enough anyway, so I'll allow it" Grace told Serena who giggled a bit before kissing her mum on the cheek and going back upstairs. Then the video ended.

"So, do you actually love Ash?" Max asked Serena who blushed more before looking at Ash who wasn't looking before she proceeded to grab Max and whisper in his ear "Yes, I do. Just don't tell Ash. If you tell anyone, then make sure that they don't tell him or anyone else that will also tell him. Okay?"

Max gasped, he agreed before everyone sat back down.

"Ash, truth or Dare?" Serena asked Ash who rolled his eyes which made her giggle

"Truth" Ash replied

"Who do you love?" Serena asked Ash who sighed

"A very beautiful girl around my age. I knew her when we were 6. I went to Professor oak's summer camp when I was little and I met her there. She was hurt running away from a Poliwag, so I helped her up and we went back to camp together. We haven't talked since, but I've always loved her. And I always will." Ash told the group before he looked at the time and saw that it was 8. "We should probably go now. It's getting late" Ash said hastily before he and Pikachu left Serena's house with a goodbye to his friends before they went home.

With Serena

Serena laid awake that night. She was thinking about what Ash said. She couldn't believe it. She remembered Professor Oak's summer camp incredibly well, and she remembered that cute kid helping her up and taking her back to camp. She couldn't believe it. Ash loved her too!

She turned onto her side and thought about Ash more. She thought of his handsome body, his voice, his face, how May said how he kissed. Then she thought of may. She couldn't believe that she made Ash lightly make out with her. She then thought about weather Dawn or Max had told anyone that she liked Ash yet. She figured that Dawn probably told Gary, seeing as he told her to do a dare that actually helped her a bit by making her tell her mother, who should be able to give her advice on how to attract him and get him to tell her that he loved her.

She pushed her thoughts away after a while however and she tried to get to sleep, which she succeeded at.

With Ash

Ash woke up with a yawn. He was about to jump out of bed, but he remembered that it was a Saturday. Thank Arceus! Ash picked up his phone and checked it for notifications and saw a text from Iris. He opened it and read it. It said...

'Hey, Ash! Serena's asked me to ask you if you want to come with us and the others to the beach today? We'd love if you could come as well, seeing as we want a relaxing day, and we want to spend some time in the sun before Christmas comes. We'll leave at 11 am. Go to Serena's and her mum will take you and some others to the area where we'll meet. Reply soon please!'

Ash typed out 'Sure! What time shall I be at Serena's?', sent it, put his phone down and got dressed.

When he finished getting dressed, he got a reply from Iris. He read it

'You can be there anytime I presume. If you're there too early though, she'll probably get you into bed with her because she's a pain to wake up according to her mum. But I guess you'll be safe going there at 10:30. Bye!'

Ash put his phone in his pocket and, let Pikachu onto his shoulder, and went downstairs to get breakfast.

He finished eating at about 10:25, so he told his mum where he was going, grabbed his bag and swim wear, sunscreen, etc and left to Serena's house which was only across the road.

Ash knocked on the door of Serena's house, which was then answered by Grace.

"Hello, Ash! Serena's still asleep, so you can go and wake her up if you want" Grace told Ash who nodded and went upstairs to Serena's room. He knocked, and with no answer, he went in.

Ash saw Serena asleep on the bed, he saw her starting to stir though so he figured that he didn't have to bother waking her up, so he sat down on her bean bag chair and noticed a picture on her desk that wasn't there the day before.

Ash got up and walked to the picture. He picked it up and examined it. Surprisingly, he saw himself when he was 6 in the picture with the girl that he told the group he loved the previous night. He examined it more and saw that it was taken when he was in Professor Oak's summer camp.

Ash looked up from the picture at Serena after he heard some noise coming from her. He realised that it was just her lightly moaning in her sleep so he went back to the picture. He looked back at the girl and realised something. The girl and Serena actually looked similar. They both had the same sort of body shape, the same hair colour, the same eye colour. He realised it.

Serena was the girl from summer camp.

Yes that's another cliffhanger. Sorry. I just can't be bothered to write another page because I'm so tired. Anyway, leave a review with any questions and I'll answer them all as I love to read reviews. I'll reply with the answers to those questions via a P.M, but if you're signed in as a guest, I'll answer your questions in the next chapter. BYE!
