"May! Why aren't you helping me!" Ash looked up from the floor. May sat on the couch, smiling innocently.
"You said 'I want to teach Ronfar to talk! You taught Jess and Ari!'" she said, "So shut your trap and teach Ronnie to talk!"
"Darn you!" he sighed.
"That's what I like about you," she said. Ash looked at her.
"What?" he asked.
"Even if you want to curse, you find some way to keep a civil tongue!" May stood up and left. Ash rolled his eyes, and went back to Ronfar.
"Come on, Ronnie! Say ducky!" Ash said. He glared at May, who had returned. "What are you laughing at?"
"I would love to hear what Lance would say, if he heard that!" she laughed, smiling at him.
"Shut up, you.you.you dog!" he snapped.
"I know what you meant by that!" May sat down on the floor by him. Ash scowled.
"I am being accused! I didn't mean anything by that!" he said.
"Liar," she laughed.
"Du!" Ronfar giggled. Ash and May looked at each other, then at Ronfar. "Du!"
"You almost got it.say ducky!" Ash said. Ronfar looked at him.
"Du.cky!" Ronfar replied, "Ducky!"
"You have it!"
"Ducky! Ducky! Ducky!" Ronfar bounced up and down in glee. "Ducky!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Dad.?" Arianna walked.
"Come on Ronnie, come on!" Two months later, Ash was trying to teach Ronfar to walk.
"Dada!" Ronfar was trying to stand up, but failing to do so.
"Dad, you said you'd show me how to ride Ponyta." she said. Ash looked up at her.
"Ari, this is really important, we can do that later." He helped Ronfar up. "Come here Ronnie!"
Arianna walked out, and to the back door. She went into the yard, tears forming in her eyes.
"'We can do that later,'" she said, "Dad never has time for me!"
"Ash!" May looked down at him. He sighed.
"What?" he asked. Ash looked up.
"I.think you should go talk to Arianna," she said. Ash shook his head, and stood up.
"Alright," he replied, walking out. May got down on the floor with Ronfar.
"'I need to do this.I did to do that.'" Arianna glared at the tree, as if it was the tree's fault.
"What's wrong Ari?"
"Nothing," Arianna said. Ash walked across the yard, over to where Arianna was sitting.
"It doesn't look like it," he said. Arianna looked at him.
"You never play with me!" she cried, "You pay more attention to Ron-"
"Ronfar. Arianna, a small baby needs more attention then an 8-year- old girl, who doesn't seem to be thinking about that."
"You promised me that you would teach me how to ride Ponyta! Then you say that you can do it later!" she said.
"And I will! Arianna, I never got a chance to be with you or Jessica at his age when you were learning this stuff because of how demanding my position as Pokemon Master was at that time! Now that it has gone down a bit, I want to help take care of him!" Ash said. He sighed.
"I just want you to teach me to ride a Ponyta! Not to never take care of Ronfar!" Arianna tried to run off. Ash grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Having a fit is not going to help!" he snapped, "Now listen to me, I WILL teach you how to ride your Ponyta, if you will be patient!"
"Alright Dad," Arianna looked at him, "I'll be patient."
"There's my girl!" Ash stood up. "Let's go in the house.er, wait a minute."
"Huh?" Arianna looked up at him. Ash smiled slightly.
"I do have a few minutes to spare." he said, looking around, "How about I show you how to saddle Ponyta?"
"Yeah!" she cheered, getting up. Smiling, she eagerly followed her father to the stable. **************************************************
The end! Finally! It took forever to finish, but I managed it! I would go further, but then it would be, like, 200 chapters, so...
