Chapter 15 Ashton's First Day
Third Person POV
Ashton walked into the Ketchem household.
"Hello Andy", Delia greeted.
"Hello Delia", Ashton greeted.
"Cilan", Delia yelled before said person walked into the room. "Will you please show Andy to his room."
"But of course", Cilan said. "Come Andy."
With that Ashton and Cilan left just as Finn walked in. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Hey that rhymes!]
"I don't trust him", he said referring to Ashton.
"You mean Andy", Delia asked. "Why not?"
"We don't know anything about him", Finn replied.
"Not knowing a lot about a person doesn't make them untrustworthy", Deila pointed out before leaving.
...
Ash had changed and was in his bedroom staring at the tux Finn had gotten him for the party.
It had a cornflower blue, long sleeved dress shirt; black dress pants; black loafers; a black bowtie and a black, long sleeved blazer.
Ash kept on thinking of ways to make the tux better, but he couldn't. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Awe man.]
Ash looked at his desk and saw a picture of his dad and picked it up.
It was a picture of him on his fifteenth birthday. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Read the first flashback in Chapter 6 to actually see this moment.]
Ash looked at the outfit his father was wearing.
"You're the perfect outfit", he stated. "But I can't wear you." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Did he just refer to a tux as a person?]
Just then Ashton walked into the room.
'Hello Ash", he greeted.
"Hi Andy", Ash greeted.
"This one is ugly isn't it", Ashton asked Ash when he saw the tux.
"Yeah and Finn says he loves me", Ash replied.
"Happy birthday", Ashton said before giving Ash a bone crushing hug. "The happiest birthday you'll ever have!"
"Can't breathe", Ash stated before Ashton let him go. "Oh no. I'm choking."
"Oh Ash", Ashton started. "Are you okay?"
Ash stopped pretending and started chuckling.
"Ash", Ashton said sternly.
"Sorry", Ash apologised. "So, what should we start with?"
"I was thinking we should start with some sewing", Ashton replied. "It shouldn't be that hard to fix up this tux."
Ashton tried picking at the tux, but just ended up tearing it! [Follow Your Heart Extra: Ashton!]
Ashton looked at the tux in shock and Ash just chuckled.
"Do you have a sewing kit", Ashton asked.
"No but Cilan probably does", Ash replied.
"Then go ask him", Ashton told Ash.
"Okay", Ash said before leaving.
Ten Minutes Later
Ash and Ashton were trying to fix the tux, but it wasn't going so well. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Oh boy.]
"How is the tux coming along", Ash asked.
"Complicated", Ashton replied. "I thought it would be much easier to fix this thing."
"I got it", Ash stated. "Grab the one arm and I'll grab the other."
"Okay", Ashton said doing as told. "Now what?"
"On three, we pull", Ash replied.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing", Ashton asked.
"Positive", Ash replied.
"Okay then", Ashton said.
"On three", Ash commanded. "One, two, THREE!"
With that Ash and Ashton pulled at the tux, and it fell out of the window and onto the cake that was being delivered! [Follow Your Heart Extra: The cake!]
Ashton and Ash looked at each other.
"We're in trouble", Ashton stated.
"Boys", Delia yelled when she saw the cake.
"I think you're right", Ash stated before closing the curtains.
Ten Minutes Later
Ash, Ashton, Delia, Finn and Cilan were in the living room talking about what had happened.
"I'm sorry about the tux Finn", Ash apologised. "Ashton and I were trying to altar it and...Well. Let's just say that I know nothing about sewing."
"But I do", Cilan exclaimed before picking up the tux. "I'll have this outfit fixed up in no time! And the cake!"
"Yay", Ash said in fake happiness.
Don't get him wrong. He was happy about the cake. But he was not happy about having to still wear the tux.
With that everybody but Ash and Delia left.
"I'm sorry about the tux and cake Mom", Ash apologised.
"It's alright Ash", Delia stated. "You didn't mean to do it."
Delia got up from the couch.
"Now", she started. "How about I show you your birthday gift?"
Ash got a wide smile on his face and he shot up.
"Of course", he replied.
"Close your eyes and let me lead you", Delia commanded.
Ash did as told and Delia led him to his gift.
"Okay", Delia said. "You can open your eyes now."
Ash opened his eyes and gasped.
He was in a room filled with...his father's stuff! [Follow Your Heart Extra: (Does spit take).]
Ash's eyes started watering.
"Is this all of this Dad's stuff", Ash asked.
"It is", Delia replied. "It's everything of your father's I could find."
"Thank you Mom", Ash said before hugging his mother. "This is the best gift ever!"
"Well then", Delia started. "I should leave you to enjoy it."
With that Delia left and Ash spent the next hour looking through his father's things.
One Hour Later
Ash walked into his bedroom holding the tux Finn got him.
"Even without the jacket it doesn't look good", Ash stated before looking at Pikachu. "What do I do now?"
Pikachu suddenly jumped onto Ash's bed.
Ash went to the bed and saw something. [Follow Your Heart Extra: What was it?]
Ash quickly got the photo of his father he was looking at earlier and went back to the bed.
"This tux was Dad's." [Follow Your Heart Extra: (Mouth hangs open).]
At the Academy
Ashton and Sophie were talking in the teacher's lounge.
"So you left the tux on Ash's bed for him to find it", Sophie asked.
"Yes", Ashton replied. "I heard him say that he wanted to wear it. So when I saw it in the room with all my stuff, I took it."
"Well I think you did a good thing", Sophie stated. "And will you be going to this party?"
"Well", Ashton started. "I wasn't actually invited. But I live there so I may as well go anyway."
"Well", Sophie started. "Have fun."
HotXbun: Tell me how you think the party will go.
My Answer: Trust me. It'll be great.
