Hi, everyone! I'm back with another chapter of "Rise of the Dream Guardians." In this chapter, we'll see Lita getting cold feet as she tries to confess her feelings towards our favorite Pokémon Trainer. Will Lita be able to do it? Just stick around and I'll show you!

*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR SAILOR MOON*

It had been several days since the carnival and things were going smoothly. Lita and Serena were on their way to the temple to meet up Amy, Raye and Mina. Lita had been thinking about Ash lately and was hoping to confess her feelings towards him. But she was thinking that Ash liked Serena more.

Lita: Hey, Serena! Can I ask you something?

Serena: Sure! What's up?

Lita: What do you think of Ash towards you? I mean, are you two a couple or...?

Serena: No way, Lita! You know that I have Darien.

Lita: I know, it's just that when I saw you at the carnival, you both seemed very close with each other, which made me think that you two were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Serena: Oh! Well, actually Lita, I see Ash more as a little brother figure than a lover.

Lita: But, what about you're real brother, Sammy?

Serena: Please, Sammy is very young and childish, while Ash is more mature than him and that he understands her of trying to be more the guardian of those around them yes he may tease her about being a crybaby but he's more worried about me as a sister. We were basically building our brother and sister dynamic. Why do you ask anyway?

Lita: Well, I was thinking about confessing my feelings towards Ash.

Serena: [surprised] Wait, you mean you're in love with him?!

Lita: Yeah! And hearing how you describe Ash makes me want to confess my feelings towards him even more.

Serena: Well, I hope it goes well for you. Ash is actually out shopping for my mom and training his Pokémon, maybe you'll see him on your way home.

Lita: Maybe, I'll try.

Later that day, Lita was on her way home from Raye's when she saw Ash and Pikachu coming towards them. She felt like her stomach was in knots as she saw him.

Ash: Hey, Lita!

Lita: Oh, hi Ash, what's up?

Ash: Just picked up some groceries for Serena's mom and finished up training.

Lita: [blushing] That's nice!

Ash: [noticing] Are you okay, Lita? You're face is all red?

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lita: Yeah! I'm fine! Whoa, would you look at the time. [as she starts to walk away] Sorry, I gotta get home. Got lots to do this evening. Bye [runs off]!

Ash: [calling out to Lita with his arm reaching out][worried] Wait, Lita!

But it was no good, she was too far ahead to hear.

Lita: [scolding to herself] You coward!

The next day, Ash was in the park with Serena, Amy, Raye, Mina, Rini, Luna and Artemis with Pikachu playing "Cat and Mouse" with Diana. Ash was telling the girls about Lita.

Ash: I just don't know what's gotten into Lita lately. She's been staring at me like I'm on fire and runs off in a hurry. I don't even know what's wrong with her. I hope she's okay.

Luna: I'm sure she's fine, Ash.

Serena: [in her head] Yeah, she's fine, Ash! She just has a huge crush on you!

Then, Lita came into view.

Lita: Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late. I missed the bus on the way here.

Amy: It's alright, Lita. We understand.

Suddenly, the area got all wonky as the area changed into what looked like a circus.

Ash: What's going on? Where are we?

Amy: It's the Dark Moon Circus!

Then, Ash saw lots of limp bodies of children in spider webs.

Ash: Sweet mama Arceus! There's a whole lot of kids in those spider webs.

Then, they heard voices and evil laughter! It was the Amazon Quartet.

ParaPara: Oh, goodie! We have visitors!

CeleCele: Welcome!

Ash: Don't you welcome us!

BesuBesu: Come on! That's not how you greet others.

Ash: Well, you Amazoness Quartet aren't the ones that I should be friendly for. Now you release all those kids or you'll be sorry!

JunJun: How about no!

Ash: Girls, transform!

Serena an co.: Right!

So, the girls transformed into their Sailor Scout forms, which was a surprise for the Amazon Quartet as the heroes did their motto. Well, the short version.

Sailor Moon: Prepare for trouble, you foul villain!

Ash: And make it triple triple, as we send you cruisin'!

Sailor Scouts: Etc.

Pikachu: [imitating Wobbuffet] PIIIIIIIIII-KACHU!

CeleCele: Seven against four doesn't sound like a fair matchup. Perhaps splitting up the group would work better.

Then, Ash, Pikachu and the girls were separated. Ash, Pikachu and Lita were together and they were surrounded by monsters.

Ash: Let's do this together, Lita!

Lita: Right!

Ash: Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: [complying and attacking][Thunderbolt move] PIKA! PI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Pikachu's Thunderbolt was able to zap some of the monsters, while Lita with her Jupiter powers were able to take care of the rest. They thought they won, but the Amazon Quartet were planning a sneak attack on Lita from behind. Ash noticed this and had to help.

Ash: [leaping to the rescue] SAILOR JUPITER, LOOK OUT!

First, ParaPara fired a star when Ash pushed Lita out of the way and took the hit!

Ash: [getting hit] AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Sailor Jupiter: [gasps]

Ash: [getting hit by a three more shots] AHH! AHH! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Sailor Jupiter: Ash, no!

Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA PI!

Then, Ash landed on the ground with a thud and was out cold. Lita ran over to him and lifted him up cradling his head.

Sailor Jupiter: Ash? Ash! [shedding tears] Wake up, Ash! Please! Wake up!

JunJun: Aww, what a shame! Looks like you're friend is down for the count.

ParaPara: It was kinda heroic how he sacrificed himself to save you.

Now, Lita was really mad as fired burned in her eyes!

Sailor Jupiter: Now, you're gonna pay! [to Pikachu] Pikachu, help me out!

Pikachu: [complying] PIKACHU!

Then, Lita used her lightning powers to do a powerful attack that was never done before.

Sailor Jupiter: [using her powers]Now, Pikachu, Jupiter Fusionbolt!

Pikachu: [attacking] PIIIIIIIIII-KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Both Jupiter's and Pikachu's lightning attacks combined into one big attack as it zapped the Amazon Quartet and sent them flying, but luckily, magic mirrors were able to save them as they disappeared. Though the attack managed to take out the entire power in the sector of the city they're in. The rest of the Sailor Scouts headed towards Jupiter who was still holding Ash in her arms.

Serena: Oh no, Ash!

Raye: What'll we do?!

Amy: We need to get him some first aid.

Lita: Let's head to my place! It's closer.

So, the Sailor Scouts transformed back to their civilian forms and headed for Lita's. Soon, they arrived at Lita's place, where Amy was wrapping bandages around Ash's midsection and Serena was hugging Ash, trying to get him to wake up, Lita, Raye, Mina, Rini, the cats and Pikachu were concerned for their friend.

Pikachu: [concerned] PIKA PI!

Then, Ash let out a moan indicating that he was alive.

Ash: [moans]

Everyone was relieved.

Luna: Oh, thank goodness, he's still alive.

Artemis: All the same, he should probably get some get some rest.

Lita: Yeah! You girls can stay here for the night.

The girls agreed. Of course, they had to let their families know where they are and that they're staying at Lita's for the night. Later that night, everyone was asleep, except for Lita. She had gotten up to go check on Ash and she saw him sleeping on the couch. Lita then went over, gently lifted Ash's head, sat down and placed his head on her lap. Then, she gently runs her fingers through his head and Ash wakes up.

Ash: [sleepily and sitting up] Lita?

Lita: Hey, I'm glad you're getting better [hugs him]. Ash, there's something I need to tell you.

Ash: What's that?

Lita: [in her head] Alright, Lita, you got this. Just tell him how you feel. [speaks] Ash, I'm in with love you!

Ash was taken aback by this.

Ash: You are?!

Lita: Yeah! I have since the first time I saw you. At first I thought you were like my old boyfriend who broke my heart, but now I realise that you're nothing like him. You're strong, courageous, kind, caring, you even sacrificed yourself to save me. And well ... I just can't hold back anymore!

Then, she leaned in and kissed Ash on the lips wrapping her arms around him, then pulling him on top of her as they make out. Ash was enjoying this as they kiss passionately and a had few french kissing moments as he runs his hands down her side and hold her waist. Then, they stopped, besides, Ash is still recovering.

Ash: Lita, I accept your feelings. I love you too. Maybe, once I'm feeling better, we can go out tomorrow.

Lita: [smiling] I would like that. For now, let's just get some sleep.

Then, Lita laid Ash's head on her chest. Ash blushed by this.

Ash: Lita, what are you … ?

Lita: [running her fingers through his head] Don't worry, Ash! Just relax!

Ash then started to feel drowsy and he fell asleep. As for Lita, she was happy that she was able to confess her feelings towards him and has Ash with her.

Meanwhile, at the enemy's lair...

JunJun: Man, that attack really did a number on us!

BesuBesu: Tell me about it. Now we need to stay in this sand bath for at least a few hours until the static is removed and then we shower.

CeleCele: And while we're at it, we should try and figure out a way to get the golden mirror once and for all.

ParaPara: But how? That Ash guy will always help those Sailor Scouts.

JunJun: Hmmm! I think I may have an idea.

So, the Amazon Quartet discussed their plan. Whatever it is, it maybe trouble. As the journey continues!

To be continued…

And that's it for this chapter! And wouldn't you know it? Ash and Lita are now a couple! Isn't that wonderful?! Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. And there's more to come. So, until then, see you all next time!
