Hello everyone, welcome back to Reborn! Just giving you guys a heads up about a certain ship you all love. I'm not saying anything but you will enjoy this chapter. Here we go, on to Chapter 7!

Bonnie awoke with the sound of sheets moving off the bed and groans. Was it morning already? She looks at the source of moving sheets to see Serena smiling at her. The lemon haired girl sighs in relief but remembers why she woke up. Her brother is missing.

"We are leaving in an hour. Meet us at the dining hall for breakfast." Serena says before walking out of the door. Bonnie raises an eyebrow at her retreating friend. Why is she in a hurry? Its not like those cloaked people are going to hurt her brother?

I probably just jinxed my brother's wellbeing! I am such a cruel sister. The girl sighs as she gets up for the day. Maybe I can find a Pokémon on our journey? Then I can show it to Clemont when we come back with him.

With that said, Bonnie quickly got changed, put her bag onto her back, and runs out of the room.

Ben couldn't think straight for some reason. Were the battles getting to him? Was the undesirable old age getting to him? The butler didn't know. Only time would tell. Tomorrow he gets to see Ash again and teach him the ways of being a king. Nothing will stand in his way!

"Sir, a message from the royal guards of Kalos." A guard whispers quietly not to worry the soldiers around them. Ben frowns and nods. "They say that they want to have a temporary truce for now until the cloaked people are gone. Don't know why, but I think it's a trap."

Ben found himself taking off his gloves and putting them in his pocked. A habit he does when he finds himself in a tricky situation. This could end with the slaughter of his men? This could even end badly for him? But he knew the sacrifice, and wanted to know that he protected Ash in doing so.

"Tell them this; If they want to have a truce, they have to obey my orders. They are on Kanto's soil." The butler says thoughtfully as he yawns and turns towards his tend. "If they indeed trick us, then we are going to war. Much as I hate to say that."

"Yes sir!" the guard yells.

Be careful Ash. I will be there soon.

"Serena, about last night- I," The raven haired boy starts as they walk on a path to a forest. He looks down at his feet and feels a hand on his shoulder. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry. For whatever I did to make Clemont think those things."

Serena sighs but smiles at the prince. She finally told him about her argument with Clemont (while Bonnie was still getting ready). She felt his eyes on her before letting them fall to the ground once more. The honey blond reaches for the prince's hand for comfort, but retracted it at the last second. She blinks, why on earth would I try to hold his hand? I barely know him!

"Serena?" Bonnie suddenly calls her as she makes her way over to her friend. "Are you okay? You seem out of it." The young girl asks making the older girl smiles warmly at her. Bonnie was almost like a sister she never had, (besides the little brother she left in Kalos). They went through everything together. Even now, Bonnie and Serena with Ash are going on an adventure to save Clemont.

"Yeah, I'm fine Bonnie. Ash," She says getting the princes attention rather quickly. She whispers in a low voice so that the youngest wouldn't hear, "you don't need to apologies. We are friends no matter what."

"Yeah, I guess your right." He whispers with a grin before nodding towards the forest. "We should get to a clearing before nightfall. That way we stay hidden from those cloaked people." He says before looking at Serena once more and nodding as he takes the lead.

Bonnie gives the princess a curious look. "What was that about?" She asks obvious to the whole whispering thing. She then smirks at her, putting her hands on her hips as Dedenne attempts to mimic her. "Do you like Ash?" she asks softly in a teasing tone.

Serena blushes red and turns Bonnie around as the little girl giggles. "N-n-no not by a long shot." She whispers as she feels the little girls giggles make her body vibrate. The boy in front of them didn't seem to notice them talking, or was just ignoring them. That made Serena sigh in relief.

Then Serena saw Ash turn around with a wild grin. "This spot will work perfectly! I'll set up the tents while you can get firewood?"

Both girls nodded and went to find some branches that were on the ground. Ash sighs as he watches them leave while looking at Pikachu who was asleep in his backpack. He reaches him and carefully puts him on his jacket. The mouse Pokémon yelps in his sleep but turns over on his back. The prince smiles sadly remembering when Ben told him he was his fathers and mothers butler for the first time. It felt like years had gone by since then. The boy smiles at a memory that appeared in his mind and he starts to remember as he gets the tents ready.

Flashback:

"Uncle Ben, why are we in the forest during night time? I thought we were going to sleep at an inn tonight." Asks a very small Ash, at the age of six at the time.

A much younger man was with him looking at their backpack for supplies. He looks at Ash with a smile. "We are camping here for the night, Ash. It isn't safe to walk in the forest at night." He says pulling out the tent and Ash's sleeping bag. "Plus, we can't see the stars with all those lights of the city now can we?"

"No sir," The little boy shakes his head as he helped his uncle (Ben didn't tell him he was his butler yet) with the tent. "do you think I'll see my mommy and daddy?"

The very question made Ben stop in his tracts and stare at the supplies in his hand in silence. The silence made the little boy worried if he said something wrong, but the man shook his head and smiles. He then lays the supplies down and faces Ash.

"What do I say about your mom and dad, Ash?" He whispers the question so that the boy could know he was asking seriously.

"Mommy and daddy are always with me, even when I can't see them." the raven haired boy smiles saying it as he looks up at the stars. A shooting star shot past them and the boy cries out, "Uncle Ben, look a shooting star!"

The man chuckles while ruffling the child's hair. "Then lets make a wish, shall we?"

Ash nods and closes his eyes. "I wish that I can someday be as brave as Uncle Ben and that I can be the best Pokémon trainer ever!" He says giggling as Ben looks at him.

"That was a nice wish, Ash. Do you want to know what I wished for?"

"What was it, Uncle Ben?"

"To say thank you to your father and mother." Ben says before patting the boys head a little. "Now lets go to bed. We don't want to be grumpy at the next town do we?"

"No sir."

End of Flashback

The raven haired teen looks up at the stars and smiles. He then wipes a tear from his face before the two girls could see it. Ash sees Serena looking worried but then gives her a small smile which she returns. Bonnie stood their looking at them weirdly but shrugs it off.

Mom and dad, if you can hear me, please let me know that you're with Ben too. Ash prays silently as he pulls out his sleeping bag before helping the girls with the fire. I miss you guys.

"What is on your mind, Ash?" Serena asks looking next to her as she sat down on a log.

"Oh nothing," the boy says with a smile. "just a memory."

That ends the three-part event! I really thought of ending this chapter with a cliffhanger but thought against it. Your welcome!

Please read and review!
