Thirty Seven – Enough

The group finally decided to leave for Shalour City. However, on the way there, they ran into someone familiar. Someone that Serena would rather not meet up with, but she didn't exactly have a choice. Miette.

She waved to them on the large path, and stopped to have lunch with them. Thaknfully, she didn't mention anything about their challenge yet- she seemed too focused on Sky and Clemont.

She faced both of them, who were side by side. She didn't even introduce herself to Sky- she just went right for it and asked: "Are you two dating?"

Both of them blushed. "N-no!" Sky shook her head.

Miette raised one eyebrow, seeing Sky's ring. "Then you must be engaged."

Sky frowned, her face red. "No. It's not an engagement ring."

Miette shrugged, smiling. "If you say so…" She then walked away.

Sky sighed, putting her face in her hands. Bonnie was laughing at them- but she was in no mood for laughing.

As Clemont tried to ask her what was wrong and she wouldn't tell, Miette found her way over to Ash and Serena. Bonnie stood by her side, ready to listen to whatever they were talking about.

Miette smiled normally. "So… Serena, how's our little competition going?"

Serena frowned, staring down at the ground. "Just fine."

Ash tilted his head. "Competition? What competition?"

Miette laughed. "Oh, nothing- just the completion for your-" Serena reached over and put her hand over Miette's mouth to silence her. Serena gave her the death glare, and she obliged. "Nevermind, then. But what's up with the lovebirds over there?" She jabbed her finger backwards to point at Sky and Clemont.

Ash chose to remain out of the conversation, not finding it interesting anymore, especially since Serena and Miette had something secret going on. He really wanted to know, but didn't want to pry.

Serena explained that Sky was going along with them around Kalos, and that her and Clemont got along well. She didn't say anything else, but Miette finally understood.

"Oh, but come on- they've got to be dating, right?" She asked quickly, smiling. Bonnie jumped up and down. "Yeah, Miette! They definitely are dating- just in secret!"

Sky moved away from Clemont, frowning. "That's it…" She mumbled, and stormed over. Clemont's eyes widened and he followed her in a hurry.

Sky faced everyone in the group, a scowl on her face. None of them were used to seeing her angry- she was only like this when Team Rocket came, or when Meg was around.

"That's enough, Bonnie. You too, Serena, Ash and Miette- I'm done with all this." She clenched her fists. "I'm tired of you guys teasing me and Clemont. I understand we're close, but we're not that c-close! It's gotten to the point where it's not funny whatsoever anymore, a-and we're tired of hearing it!" She said loudly. "I want you guys to stop making fun of us like that! We are NOT dating!"

Everyone watched with wide eyes. Bonnie sniffed. Miette and Serena looked pretty guilty- Ash just seemed surprised.

A long silence followed as Sky took many deep breaths. She wasn't used to getting angry like that, and she felt horrible. "I-I'm sorry about that. But please… Stop."

Serena and Miette nodded, while Bonnie ran over and hugged Sky. "S-sorry…" she mumbled into her stomach. "We won't do it anymore…"

Sky smiled lightly. "Th-thanks, guys…"

After Miette left, the sky began to darken. For the first time in quite a long time, they slept in tents. However, since winter was approaching the weather that night was much cold.

Clemont and Sky both shivered that night as they sat on the foldable picnic table they carried on their journey. However, neither of them wanted to go back to their tents yet- the night time was really their only their moment of privacy together (usually), so they usually tried to stay out as long as they could.

They sat around an inch or so apart, but Clemont noticed Sky's violent shivering and moved closer to her. "Is that better?" He asked, as he began to feel warmer too.

Sky nodded, smiling. Her teeth stopped chattering and she leaned her head on his shoulder- which was a little difficult considering how short she was. She blushed, closing her eyes and enjoying the warmth.

Clemont smiled back, his face a little red. "I guess I understand why they think we're secretly dating or something…" Then his eyes widened after he realized what he just said.

Sky exhaled quickly. "Y-yeah…" She agreed half-heartedly. "Makes sense."

Clemont nodded, and didn't say anything else. They didn't really need to communicate; all they needed was to be near each other to be happy.

And with the two of them relaxing together, Clemont couldn't be happier.

A/N: Yeah yeah. I know it's short, and there's been quite a few short chapters recently… I've just been losing some inspiration, I guess? I'll try to get my head back into the game, guys. Thanks for reading!
