Chapter 5: Girls night

The school week flies by quickly for the next 3 days, the tutoring went on each day with Ash understanding more and more and every night Ash walked Serena home and learned more about her like her favourite colour (which is Sea blue) and her favourite song (which was Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru). Then came Friday the night of Girl's night. Dawn gave Serena directions to her house to which we find our Heroine now.

The doorbell rang.

"Mom can you get that for me? I'm brushing my hair." Dawn yelled from her room.

Dawn's mother Johanna sighed at Dawn, She missed the days where Dawn was just a little girl who didn't care about her appearance. But those days were long gone now as She opened the door to reveal the pair standing infront of her.

"Why hello there, You must be Serena, and you must be her mother." Johanna said as she opened the door.

"Please call me Grace." Grace said as she extended her hand for a handshake

"Johanna, come on in Serena My daughter is upstairs in her room 3rd door on your right when you head up there." She told Serena.

Serena politely said thank you, She hugged her mom goodbye who reminded her to be on her best behaviour and then headed inside with her pink duffel-bag to find Dawn. As she was walking through to the stairs she noticed the big pink couch and small black flat screen TV.

"So my Daughter tells me your a former Ryhorn racer turned coach now?" asked Johanna

"Indeed, After an injury that forced me to retire, I rerouted all my focus and energy after that into raising Serena the best that I could without her father, I wonder what he would think about her now." Grace confided in the blue hair woman.

"I'm sure he would be proud she looks like she's a well raised girl and he would be very proud of both you and her for surviving this long with out him. Now go on home and don't worry if anything happens to Serena I will call you your daughter is in very good hands." Johanna assured her with a smile.

Grace thanked Johanna exchanged telephone numbers with her and then headed back for home, Johanna closed the door and headed back to the kitchen to check the food she was making for her daughter and her friends. Part of her wanted to relive her younger days, but she wouldn't trade becoming a mother for anything.


As Serena walked up the stairs to find Dawn, She noticed lots of pictures of Dawn and Her mother on the walls. One picture in particular grabbed her attention. It was a picture of Dawn at birth being held by her mother and a man with brown hair. Serena figured this was Dawn's father. As she made her way to Dawn's room she heard loud yelling.

"Piplup return!" Dawn yelled.

A red beam of light shot forward recalling the small blue penguin pokemon as Serena entered the room.

"Well I guess the bathroom is just for show then and we actually take our showers in here."

"Serena, you made it!"

The two girls gave a friendly hug as they greeted each other.

"So this is my humble abode as the fancy people say, Sorry you had to see that ugly scene between me and Piplup."

"Ya, don't worry I've been there before with my own pokemon. In fact it's because of them my hair is this short."

"Really, what happened?"

"I'll explain later, when are May and Leaf getting here?"

"Soon, they're both finishing up their shifts at work which I have to go to tomorrow ugh but that's tomorrow, So you've been at our school for almost a half a month now, how have you been finding it?"

"So far so good, homework could lighten and the school day should be shorter but the biggest thing for me was finding people I fit in with and I'm lucky that I was introduced to you guys."

"Awe, Your so sweet that it's infectious, So tell me tell me have any cute boys hit on you at all yet since your arrival?"

Serena blushed furiously at the Bluenttes question.

"A couple of them in the halls and in class did but, I turned them down."

"But why?"

"They're just not my type, physically sure they're all cute but I can't click with them. I'm holding out hope that my real prince charming is still out there."

"I'm sure he is out there somewhere along with mine, but help me take these sleeping bags downstairs please"

"I thought we were staying up here."

"No, my room is too small the basement is much larger and has everything we need down there for tonight."

"What's downstairs?"

"You'll see."


This left Serena in wonder as she and Dawn took the blue sleeping bags and her bag downstairs to the basement. When they arrived in the basement Serena was amazed at what she was seeing. The walls were coloured in dark violet and the floors with white carpeting. There was a large flat screen hanging on the wall to the southern part of the basement. Underneath the TV was a black shelf there was an assortment of electronics ranging from a DVD player to a Karaoke machine. On the side was a cabinet filled with Vhs tapes, DVDs cases, Cds and game cases. There was also a glass coffee table and 4 bean bag chairs in red, yellow, green and blue.

In the northern part of the basement was a large blue coloured Ping Pong table, an assortment of workout equipment at the far back and pictures lined the wall. There were separate rooms containing storage, the laundry room, the bathroom and the furnace.

"Dawn this is amazing, how come you don't have your room down here?"

"Believe me, I tried but when you have a Piplup that has it's unique personality that presents it's own set of challenges."

The girls laughed as they moved the glass coffee table to another corner of the basement and then put down the sleeping bags. Once that was done Serena put her bag next to her sleeping bag and sat on the floor.

Dawn informed her that she was going upstairs to grab a few things and come back down. She then headed upstairs to grab the items leaving Serena alone in the basement. Seeing as she was all alone for the moment Serena decided to take out her phone and go through her texts. The texts ranged from Ash all the way to her cousins back in Kalos.

She closed her texts deciding not to text anyone and opened her camera to take a silly selfie. She then saved the picture to her phone and closed it. At the same time Dawn returned with a couple of pillows, bottles of soda and various items. The doorbell rang once again, then footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. When the footsteps stopped the figures were revealed to be Leaf and May. The girls hugged each other and then proceeded to head to the makeshift camping area to start talking.

"So how was work you two?" asked Dawn

"Boring and stressful as usual, Marlene was slacking off again, I don't get why the boss doesn't fire her already. I swear if he doesn't fire her soon, I'm going to walk right into his office and yell at him for his slow incompetence as a boss." May said as she sighed from exhaustion.

"And that sums up May's day, what about you Leaf?" asked Serena

"Tiring, It was a packed house today a lot of people for a friday night more than usual. Oh well I guess people really love their coffee, hot chocolates, lattes, cappuccinos and their baked goods from us." Leaf explained.

The girls giggled at each other.

"So Serena, tell us how's the tutoring been going with Ash?" asked May

Serena blushed and stuttered a bit before she answered.

"W-Well to say he was bad before is an understatement ,but now he's slowly starting to getting better at it he's not nearly as bad as before when we started and he's actually starting to understand how to solve equations with variables in them and actually get the right answer too, So I'm guessing doing something right by Arceus's sake."

"That's good, at least he's getting better. It would be a shame if he couldn't graduate with us this year." Leaf expressed with a smile.

The other three nodded and agreed in unison.

"Anyways enough about our guy friends it's girl night now what are we doing tonight the usual of eating, talking, dancing and watching movies until we fall asleep?" asked May

"Yee girl, now what's first?" asked Leaf

"How about we let Serena decide? After all she is new to our monthly tradition." Dawn suggested

"That's a great idea, so how about it Serena what should we do first?" Leaf asked

"Well, I think to wake you two up from a long day of classes and work, we should start off with a dance-off." Serena suggested.

"A dance-off? Considering the day I went through today because of little ms I can do no wrong because I'm pretty Marlene and the incompetence of the boss, in the words someone famous: Just bring it." May said with a fire

"Heh, a dance-off? Well then Serena you've called on the lightning, prepare to lose to a member of the two time Kanto girls elite dance squad: the Clefsquad, In other words your on!" Leaf said confidently

"Then it's settled a dance-off between the four of us, only two questions remain before we get started." Dawn said

"What questions?" asked Serena

"Who faces who? Is the first question."

"I'll go against may, then you and leaf will face off. The winner of each will meet in the final and win bragging rights for the rest of the night." Serena decided.

"Okay now that the brackets have been decided, what game are we doing this to since if we only do it to a CD we cant decide who wins?"

"Good point, Do you have last years just dance?"

"Of course, it's the only other series I must collect aside from the masterpiece known as Kingdom Hearts."

"Ya, Ya, Ya we know Dawn you and your oh so devotion to Riku and his muscles, now hurry up and let's start this thing." Leaf teased.

Dawn stuck her tongue out as she turned on her Nintendo Wii U and took out the dance mats required for the game. Once the game loaded May and Serena took their places on their respective mats.

"Ready to lose?" asked May

"Heh, not on your life, I'll choose the song, may the best girl win." Serena repiled.

Once the song was chosen. The music began playing and the two girls began dancing to the beat of the music and the on screen avatar.

I do not own the following song or lyrics. I own only the dancing in between.

"Roar by Katy Perry"

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

[Pre-Chorus:]
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

So far it was even, 1 star for each.

[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Serena then took the lead with a twirling dance move 2 stars, leading 2-1

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

May then countered with a jazz move evening the score again 2-2.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

Dawn and leaf cheer them both on as the song came in the final stretch of the song.

[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...


Both Serena and May ended the song with a striking hand in the air pose. When the final star count was shown it was 4-2 in favour of Serena.

"Yay, I won."

"Heh, I'm not even mad I lost, congratulations Serena."

The two girls hugged each other for a hard fought victory, then sat on the red and blue beanbag chairs as Dawn and Leaf went up for their turn.

"Our turn, ready to lose Hikari?"

"Not today or ever Kitani."

The song was chosen was The Macarena. Both Dawn and Leaf dance their hearts and bodies out. But in the end it was Leaf who triumphed over Dawn 3 stars to 2. It was time for the final dance-off : Leaf vs Serena.

"Well this is it the final match, good luck." Leaf said

"Good luck to you too Leaf." Serena repiled

Dawn and May cheered for both of them as the song was chosen and the dance began. The song chosen was Gangnam style by PSY.

Both girls put their bodies into the song trying to out do each other, As the song went on it became more intense and the cheering for both of them as well. Eventually the song hit the final notes and beats. When it was all said and done, with a score of 5-3 the winner of the dance-off was...

"I-I lost?"

"I-I won?"

"Well then, I guess that means I've found my equal in dancing. Congratulations Serena. I had fun dancing."

The two girls gave each other a friendly hug and then collapsed on to their beanbag chairs from exhaustion.

"So now that everyone is fully awake, what should we do now?" asked Serena

"Truth or dare over food?" May suggested

"As long as we keep the questions clean along with the dares, we should be good nothing rated R. Right May?" Leaf teased

"One time, it was one time let it go." May mumbled

"Fine, for now anyway who wants to go first?" Dawn asked

Leaf raised her hand as Dawn went upstairs to get the food for the night which turned out to be a large pineapple pizza and returned to begin the game.


"Okay Leaf, truth or dare?" asked Serena.

"Let's start off with truth."

"Okay, what was the most funniest or stupidest thing Gary has ever done since you two have been together?"

"That's easy. One time we were painting my room from light blue back to light green. We were almost done, that's when it happened. He turned back to get the last can of paint and he forgot he had the paint tray right behind him. He got the can then he losted his balance by slipping on the covering underneath sending him into the tray. So for the next week and a half the paint stayed on him and we called him green." Leaf explained.

"Is that why he never wants to wear anything green?" May asked

"Yup, all because he was a clumsy oaf."

Everyone laughed as they pictured a completely covered in green Gary. Once they recovered from the laughter the game continued.

"Dawn, your turn truth or dare?" asked Leaf

"Dare, and make it good."

"I dare you to prank call someone and tell them that they've won a million dollars from a random draw."

"Done."

Dawn dialed a number and waited for the recipient to answer.

"Hello, this is the Pokemon million dollar giveaways, is this Mr. Drew Hirata?" asked Dawn in a high pitched voice.

"Yes this is him, Who am I speaking with?"

"I am Sally rupees, I'm calling to inform you that you've won in a random drawing and your the lucky recipient of a million dollars."

The other three girls were snickering, they couldn't believe how gullible Drew was being about the entire situation.

"Really?"

"Yes sir."

"WHOOOO HOOOOOO! I"M RICH, I'M RICH, SUCK IT EVERY ONE I'M RICH!"

"Sir, Sir calm down. Before we can award the money to you, you must repeat the phrase I tell you back, do you understand?"

"I do, lay it on me."

"My name is Drew Hirata"

"My name is Drew Hirata."

"And i just got trick by Dawn Hikari because I'm a gullible idiot."

"And i just got trick by Dawn Hikari because I'm a gullible idiot- HEY DAWN WHAT THE HELL?! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ON MONDAY!"

Dawn hung up the phone as Drew kept screaming swear words and making obscene noises. All four girls were crying from laughter. They couldn't believe that Drew actually thought that he had won a million dollars.

"Oh my god, that was so funny." Leaf laughed

"I know, he sounded so pissed that it was a scam." May said as she clutched her sides

"He's going to kill us on Monday." Serena giggled

"Don't worry if he tries, we can always use our pokemon on him." Dawn laughed

They laughed once again, once everyone recovered from the laughing fit, the game continued with May's turn."

"May, truth or dare?" asked Dawn

"Dare, just bring it on I'm ready for anything."

"Okay, I dare you to do a headstand for a minute."

"Done."

May got up from her green beanbag chair, headed to the nearest pole in the basement to help balance herself properly. Once she did that the countdown began. When time was up May felt light headed and was guided back to her seat by Serena. Once May recovered the game entered it's final participant: Serena.

"Okay Serena your last, So truth or dare?"

"Both."

"Both? Are you sure?" the three girls asked in unison.

"Yup, so let's get on with it."

"Okay for truth, you said to me before that your hair use to be longer explain why you had to get it cut and the dare will be decided after that." Dawn said for the truth portion.

"Ok simple enough, This was before Sylveon joined me. One day Pancham and Fenniken were fighting over something, I can't honestly for the life of me what it was since it's been so long but anyway Fenniken hopped on to my shoulder and taunted Pancham. Pancham got enraged and decided to use cut and he missed. The result of that miss? My hair which had to be fixed properly by a professional but yeah in short thanks to Pancham missing cut on Fenniken that's why my hair is so short."

"Do you have a picture of what you looked like before?" Leaf asked

Serena nodded as she opened her phone to show a picture of her a year before the move to Pallet town. In said picture Serena was wearing a blacktop with a white collar, a red skirt black leggings and shoes with half pokeballs on them and to top it off a pink felt hat. Her hair was long up to her back tied at the end with a single pink hair tie.

Once the other three saw the picture they told Serena how good she looked and how cute she looked as well. Serena thanked them and felt embarrassed at the same time due to all the compliments she was getting.

"Now that's out of the way, time for your dare." May said for the dare portion.

"Bring it on." Serena said with a fire in her voice.

"Feisty are we? Well then since we know you can act, I dare you to sing one verse of any song you want."

"Okay then your on." Serena said confidently as she took a deep breath and began singing.

I don't own the following verse. It belongs to Utada Hikaru

"When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go."

"Woah, you can act and sing? What can't you do?" asked May

"Well if I told you, I might have to use one of those memory eraser things, on you so you couldn't remember." Serena teased

The girls all laughed at Serena's comment before deciding to end the game seeing as they couldn't top Serena's singing. It had been a long night before they decided to change into their night clothes.

Dawn changed into pink pajamas while putting her her hair into a hair tie. Leaf changed into a large green sweatshirt with a leaf on it and put her hair into double ponytails on the sides of her head. May wore orange pajamas and her hair combed down. Serena changed into her hoodie and pink shorts with a pink ribbon in her hair as the girls sat back down to conclude girls night with a movie.

Dawn went to get popcorn and came back with a large bowl of it to share with the others. They ended up watching a movie about a love story between a Charmander and a Dratini. It ended with both of them evolving to their final stages Charizard and Dragonite respectively and them discovering an egg.

When the movie ended, all of them said good night to each other and went to sleep in their respective sleeping bags. Serena was sleeping in a pink sleeping bag. Dawn was in a blue sleeping bag, Leaf in a yellow one and May in a green one.

Serena was sleeping when she had the same dream from a couple nights ago about the field and Ash. She woke up in a sweat. She saw the others were still sleeping and thanked Arceus that no one saw her at that moment.

"This is really weird this is the 2nd time in the same month with the same dream. What is going on with me? Am- Am I falling for Ash? I can't be, I've only known him for almost a month now and I'm already having dreams about him. Maybe it was the movie bringing up that dream again but then again... Well if I'm going to get to the bottom of this there's only one thing to do."

Serena took out her phone and put on silent so she wouldn't disturb the others and texted a certain black haired trainer.

Serena: Hey :), you still awake?

Ash: Ya, I was just playing online with the guys in Pokemon kart. Weirdest thing happened though, We were on break to get snacks and when we came back Drew for some reason was cursing Dawn's name. lol

Serena: Oh I can explain that you know how Dawn, May and Leaf usually have girl's night, Well we were playing truth or dare and Dawn got dared to call someone and tell them that they won a million dollars. XD

Ash:Welp that explains it Drew is a gullible idiot sometimes XD, Anyway what's up I'm sure the others are probably sleeping seeing as its 11pm.

Serena: They are, I wanted to ask you something.

Ash: Shoot, ask away.

Serena: Are you busy tomorrow?

Ash: Tomorrow? No I was just going to visit my other pokemon, why?

Serena: Nothing, I need something to do tomorrow since these 3 sleepyheads are going to work tomorrow. lol

Ash: I see, well why don't you come with me? I could use someone to keep one specific pokemon off of me. Lol

Serena: Okay, it'll be nice to see your other pokemon, Can I bring mine too?

Ash: Sure, the more the merrier I'll come to your house at 12 tomorrow.

Serena: Okay, I'll be ready then. I should go sleep see ya tomorrow. :)

Ash: See ya :)

Serena then locked her phone and stared at the ceiling for a bit before she fell asleep. When she did fall asleep she had one thought in mind:

"Tomorrow I will figure out this whole thing once and for all."
