A/N: Thanks to writesstuff and Kingdom Hearts slayer for your reviews! Glad you like the story so far 3
I know this one is short… But I'm a little out of ideas right now. Hopefully later on I'll be more creative and have a third part for you.
Also, the song in this chapter is Shower by Becky G- I don't like it very much but it fits with the story.
One more thing- WE HIT 2K! The contest idea I had will be explained later on!
Fourteen – Singing
The next morning, everyone was in a much better mood.
Skylar, being an early riser, was the first one awake- and the first thing she did that morning was get in the shower. In the Pokémon Center, the bathrooms were located right next to the bedrooms- the boys on the left, and girls on the right.
As Clemont got up out of bed, Ash, Serena and Bonnie still asleep, he passed by the girl's washroom, and heard singing from inside.
They were the only ones staying overnight, so the only person it could be was Skylar.
Interested, he stood still outside the door, listening to what she was singing:
"You light me up inside, Like the Fourth of July… Whenever you're around I always seem to smile- and people ask me how, well you're the reason why… I'm dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower!" Skylar sang, quietly. But her voice was beautiful.
Clemont heard the water shut off, and he bolted away before she noticed he was listening. That would be embarrassing…
He went to the kitchen, and began to make pancakes for everyone- even the Pokémon. He was enjoying himself, and kept her singing voice stuck in his head. He found the lyrics similar to what he was going through...
Skylar then came into the kitchen, wearing black leggings with a light purple t-shirt. She was barefoot and wore the locket she always wore- and her glasses, of course. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail, yet it was still wet and a little was in her face. "Good morning!" She said happily, walking into the kitchen with a bounce in her step. She came over towards Clemont, seeing that he was cooking. "Um- do you want any help? Y-you know I'm not the best cook, but…"
Clemont smiled brightly- like he did so often when she was here. "Of course. Can you get me the eggs?"
He didn't realize, but he was humming the chorus of the song she was singing. It just felt implanted in her head.
Skylar dropped the eggs as she stared at him, blush on her cheeks. "Y-you heard me!?"
Clemont froze, and blushed as well. "I… I was just walking by, I swear!" Then he decided to be honest- "I-I was only outside the door, but your singing voice is really beautiful…"
Her blush seemed to go even darker as she bent over and picked up all the broken eggshells. "I… Th-thanks…" She mumbled, still shocked. No one had ever heard her sing before- she just sang that song because she liked it, and it just felt right.
They continued to make the pancakes, Clemont mumbling instructions to her every now and then.
Soon enough everyone else was awake, and they sleepily released their Pokémon- then everyone ate the delicious pancakes together.
"Where to next, guys?" Ash asked as he ate a mouthful.
"Well…" Sky looked around. "Can we go to Santalune City?"
Serena coughed. "Why would you want to go there? It's kind of far, and we've already been there."
Sky looked down, knowing it was dumb of her to ask- she about to say "Nevermind." But Clemont backed her up:
"Sky has decided to participate in the Kalos league."
Ash spit out the food he was eating, and the Pokémon all looked up at her in wonder. Everyone was looking at her for an explanation.
"I-I want to b-be stronger, so… I want to catch up to y-you, Ash…"
"And you'll get to battle my big brother!" Bonnie cheered.
Ash smiled. "You're on, Sky! And once we both get all the badges- Kalos League, here we come!"
Sky nodded, a slight smile on her lips. "So… The first gym is in Santalune City. I-I know it's far, but we can all go back t-to the places you've been to, and learn even more a-about them…"
"I agree. It's a nice plan, and you might learn more about Mega Evolution- especially if we go to Shalour City, Sky!" Serena said. Sky looked over at her. "My dad told me that."
"Then let's get a move on, guys!" Bonnie said happily as she finished her pancakes. "We gotta hurry if we wanna get there soon!"
