Chapter 40 Wrong Dress Code [Follow Your Heart Extra: That sounds interesting.]

Ash's POV

I was writing in my journal when I got an email.

I went to my laptop and read it.

It was an invitation to a costume party at the Pokémon Academy.

"A costume party", I asked myself. "This is where Gary was taking May! I need to go!"

Suddenly, my mom walked in.

"Mom", I started. "Can I go to a party tonight?"

"That depends", Delia started. "Which party?"

"It's a party being held at the Pokémon Academy", I replied before picking up my computer. "See? The invitation is right here."

With that my mom looked at the invitation.

"Oh", she said. "Well in that case, of course you can go!"

One Hour Later

Third Person POV

I walked into the Pokémon Academy.

I was wearing a black vest; black jeans; black sneakers with white soles; a yellow, long sleeved hoodie decorated with Pikachu markings and ears and a black belt with a male Pikachu tail.

Everybody was staring at me.

And that's because...I was the only one wearing a costume! [Follow Your Heart Extra: Oh no.]

Everybody started laughing at me.

"That's enough", Sophie yelled causing everybody to shut up. "Ash, did somebody tell you to come here dressed in costume?"

I didn't answer. I just turned around and started running away.

Suddenly, I felt somebody grab my arm!

I turned around and saw...May!

"Ash", she started. "What's going on? Did somebody tell you to come dressed like that?"

"I got an email inviting me to a costume party here", I replied. "Now I know that it was just a prank."

"I'm sorry Ash", May apologized. "Let's get out of here."

Ten Minutes Later

May and I walked into my house.

"Honey", my mom asked in concern as she walked up to me. "What happened? Why are you back already?"

"It wasn't a costume party Mom", I revealed. "Somebody pulled a prank on me!"

"Oh dear", my mom said in concern.

"It was so embarrassing", I stated as tears formed in my eyes. "Everybody laughed at me!"

With that I hugged my mom.

"I should probably go", I heard May say.

"No", I exclaimed turning around. "Please stay. Please?" [Follow Your Heart Extra: Poor Ash.]

May smiled at me.

"Sure thing."

Ten Minutes Later

May and I were sitting in the backyard.

"I'm sorry about what happened", she apologized.

"I just wish I knew who did it", I revealed.

"Do you know anybody that may not like you", May asked.

"Well", I started. "There is this one guy."

"Who", May asked.

"His name is Gary." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Gary?]

"Gary", May said in shock. "Gary Oaks?"

"Yeah", I replied. "I know he's your friend, but him and I don't really get along."

"How come", May asked. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Because he's a jerk!]

"We used to be friends", I revealed. "But then we both became trainers and he became competitive."

"Do you think he sent the email", May asked.

"I have no idea", I replied.

Suddenly, May got a text.

She looked at her phone and looked at it.

"My mom's here to pick me up", she revealed before getting up.

She then bent down and kissed my cheek.

But not even that made me feel better. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Awe man!]

"Bye Ash."

Ten Minutes Later

I was in my room when Andy walked in.

"Hey buddy", he greeted as he sat on the bed. "I heard about what happened. You okay?"

"Not one bit", I replied. "I can't believe somebody would do that!"

"I'm sorry", Andy said as he rubbed my head.

"I'm not sure if I want to go to the Pokémon Academy anymore." [Follow Your Heart Extra: No!]

"What", Andy said in shock. "But why?"

"It was supposed to be fun", I stated. "But tonight was the worst night of my life!"

"Ash", Andy said sternly. "Are you telling me that you don't want to go to the academy because of one prank?"

"You weren't there Andy", I said in defense. "It was so embarrassing!"

"Oh Ash", Andy started. "That's life! Things are gonna happen and you are going to be embarrassed. But you can't let that stop you from doing what you love."

I sighed in defeat.

"You're right", I stated.

"Good", Andy stated. "Now, here's what you do. Tomorrow, you march into that school with your head held high!"

"And if they laugh at me", I asked.

"Then let them laugh", Andy replied. "They'll forget about in time."

"You sure", I asked.

"I'm sure", Andy replied before hugging me.

I then decided to tell him something. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Tell him what?]

"I love you Andy." [Follow Your Heart Extra: (Mouth hangs open).]

Andy tensed up for a moment, but then quickly loosened up.

"I love you too."

HotXbun: Awww!

Challenge: Tell me what you thought of the ending.

My Answer: It was so sweet! If only Ashton could man up and tell the truth!
