Chapter Nine: The Secret Garden

Author's Note:

Apparently, I couldn't find the lyrics to "The Secret Garden" from the Pokemon Heroes movie, so I had to work on my own song called the same thing. Hope you guys don't mind. If I can find the lyrics, I'll replace it with that song. So, here's the final chapter, Chapter Nine: The Secret Garden. Please enjoy and review. And, apparently, the people who placed the latest reviews on this story did not hear me clearly when they read the rest of the stories. I clearly said no more flames. And when I say no flames, I mean no flames. Got that? Oh well. Enjoy and review, people! Remember, no flames! See ya at Book Two: Timing Is Everything! Also, there's a little romance in this chapter!;-)

"Where is she?" Ron wondered out loud, as he trodded through the Middleton Park. He finally got out of the hospital, and promised to meet Kim at the park. Apparently, she wasn't there.

"What took you so long?" Kim asked from the top of the tree under Ron.

Ron looked up to see Kim, sitting on a tree branch. She swung her legs playfully, and had a smile on her face. He even heard her giggle. It was one of those little girl like giggles. Ron couldn't help but smile.

I never thought I'd find a place
Where I'd have so much time and space
To run around free in the bright blue sky
Jump on clouds
Reach the sky

"Follow me!" Kim said, as she lept from that tree, to the next tree, and continued until she reached a plain.

Ron finally caught up with her. When he did, he couldn't help but gasp. There was no other form of life here. Just the plants, the tall, uncut grass, and Kim and Ron. Nobody else. Not even an insect or an animal.

"Welcome to my hiding place, Ron." Kim said quietly, standing only a meter away from him.

Welcome to my hiding place
Welcome to the secret garden
The place I call my home
Whenever something goes wrong
I'll just come here
Just wait and hear
The call of the birds
And the plains
The secret garden's free to play

Kim slowly approached Ron, until they were only half a centimeter apart. Ron was a little nervous, but had a steady breathing like Kim's. He wanted to do something, but didn't know what.

I never thought I'd find someone
Someone to hold onto their hands
Is it hard to fall in love?
Or is it really easy?
Like reaching the sky
And catching the breeze

What Kim did next took Ron by surprised. Kim kissed Ron on the lips for one second. She then smiled, blushing. Ron felt his cheeks also blushing. Well, that was a pleasant surprise.

Welcome to my hiding place
Welcome to the secret garden
The place I call my home
Whenever something goes wrong
I'll just come here
Just wait and hear
The call of the birds
And the plains
The secret garden's free to play

Ron didn't know why he did this, but he just did. He kissed Kim on the lips for a few seconds, then departed. Kim didn't expect that to happen. All she did was just give him a small kiss. Just a small peck. But, Ron gave her the real thing. A real kiss, that lasted for 10 seconds. Kim just smiled, and returned the kiss.

Welcome to my hiding place
Welcome to the secret garden
The place I call my home
Whenever something goes wrong
I'll just come here
Just wait and hear
The call of the birds
And the plains
The secret garden's free to play

Just as she was about to depart after 10 seconds, Ron pulled Kim close, keeping the kiss longer. It took Kim by surprise first, but she quickly fell in. She wrapped her arms around Ron's neck and shared the kiss with him. Ron wrapped his arms around Kim's waist and brought her closer. Their bodies fit together perfectly like two pieces of a puzzle. The two departed their faces by only a millimeter.

"Um..." Ron said quietly, "I guess it's time for me to confess something..."

"What's that?" Kim asked in the same voice level as Ron's.

Ron muttered something.

"What?" Kim giggled quietly.

Ron whispered in Kim's ear, "I love you."

Kim was surprised by the three words, but she felt happy at the same time.

Kim nipped at Ron's ear and whispered, "I love you, too."

The two faced each other by only the distance of a millimeter. The two closed their eyes, tilted their heads forward, and shared a passionate and heavenly kiss, in the middle of the meadow. Kim suddenly felt like she was a teenager, and so was Ron. She smiled in thought and deepened the kiss, feeling like she and Ron were in their teenage forms.

The secret garden's free...
To play...
