Chapter 14: questions and answers.
Mick and Lisa were sitting outside on the Bleachers eating their lunch quietly taking in the sounds. All of a sudden Leonard came up to them and he hit mick squarely in the jaw. Lisa gasped at what Leonard had just done.
"Leonard! What the hell is the matter with you, why would you hit Mick?" Lisa yelled at him
Leonard ignored Lisa as he yelled at Mick and grabbed him by the collar.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING MICK? TRYING TO SET ME UP WITH HIKARI ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT?!"
Mick laughed puzzling Leonard and Lisa. Once he stopped laughing he spoke. They knew Mick only laughed when he was about to hurt someone.
"Leonard you idiot, you really can't see it can you?" Mick told him
"See what Mick? Care to enlighten the unenlightened?"
Mick scoffed and then spoke again.
"The world isn't like how you think it is Leonard. There are people out there who are not like your father. People who if you give them a chance then they can change your life for the better, people aside from your mother, Lisa and I who love and care about you."
Leonard sneered at Mick and walked away. He never wanted to be reminded of his father and his past. As this was happening Lisa walked up to Mick after Leonard left to clean up the little bit of blood on his mouth and spoke to him.
"Mick... this Hikari person... it wouldn't happen to be Dawn Hikari from my fashion design class would it?" She asked
"Yes it is. Your probably wondering now why did I do that to your brother? I'll answer. Your brother dragged me to the prom committee meeting last month. He thought it would be a kick to see how bad we could make it. When we got there Hi- Dawn was already there with her friends. Your brother not being a total jerk said hello to them and she turned red. So I confronted her one day in the hall and asked her to come see the situation you and Leonard are in with your mother. I asked her to help me bring back your happy brother and not the arrogant ass who's here now. Tell me did I do anything wrong?" he asked.
Lisa caressed Mick's face.
"No, but do you think she can do it? Melt his cold heart?"
"I do, and then it'll be the old days again. You, me and your brother happy as we can be before everything happened."
Mick and Lisa looked up to the sky and hoped everything with Leonard would change and that they would have the old him back.
Back with the regular group...
Everyone was sitting under the usual tree eating well almost everyone.
"Hey Ash, where's Serena?" asked Drew
"She said she had to go to the bathroom and that she'll meet up with us here when she's done with her business in there." Ash explained
"Tmi dude."
"You asked."
Everyone laughed at Ash's response, it was then when Serena walked over with her lunch to meet up with everyone. They all took a good look at her dress and noticed a certain item on it.
"Serena.. is that ribbon?" Ash asked curiously
"Ya, it's the ribbon that you gave me."
"Your wearing it. It looks great." he told her with a grin while she smiled back at him.
Gary and Drew nudged him a bit with a grin on their faces while Ash had a questioning look on his face, he then excused himself to the bathroom. Everyone that remained turned to Serena with a grin on their face leaving excluding Gary and Drew who still had it leaving Serena confused.
"What? Is there something on my face? Why is everyone looking at me like if I just said I was secretly a super-heroine."
Tommy sighed and then spoke.
"Okay everyone, raise your hand if you know about Serena's crush on Ash."
Everyone raised their hand shocking Serena. She thought it was only contained to herself the girls, Gary and Drew. But now everyone but Ash knew.
"How?!"
"If we're being honest, we all had a guess before about your feelings towards him but at your birthday party it pretty much confirmed it to me the way you two hugged and blushed after getting your gifts from him." Tommy stated.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Tommy
Serena sighed at what she had just heard. Her secret was out, it would only be a matter of time before Ash knew.
"Don't worry our lips are sealed we won't tell him a thing." he assured her with everyone nodding in agreement.
Serena sighed in relief as she heard what Tommy said in regards to her crush on Ash. It was already November meaning she only had 6 months left before prom to confess her feelings. Time was ticking and it wouldn't stop. Ash at this point had returned from the bathroom and saw the looks on their faces. He didn't bother questioning it at the time, then the bell rang and everyone went off to their afternoon classes.
Brock was battling with his younger brother Forrest after school helping the younger child become a better trainer. They were currently taking a break.
"Your really improving Forrest, I'm really proud of you just a couple of more years and you'll be at the level I was at when I was gym leader." Brock told him proudly.
"Thanks, I just feel though I'm still lacking something but I don't know what." Forrest admitted.
Brock put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder.
"I know that feeling believe me, but if your anything like me I know you'll find the thing you think your lacking and become a better trainer than I am and when that happens I'll challenge you to one last battle."
The two brothers grinned at each other looking at the sunlight when their mother's voice called them in for dinner. All the members of Brock's family were sitting at the table when the doorbell rang, Forrest ran to open the door and behind it was Lucy. He called Brock to come and talk to her as he went back to the table. Brock came to the door and spoke to her.
"Lucy, not that I'm complaining that your here again, but is this how we're going to keep meeting like this?" Brock asked
"I know but uh can I stay here again tonight?" she asked sheepishly
"What happened to your roommate this time?"
"Well uh funny story actually, you see she's in the hospital. She took a fall this morning on the stairs because she's clumsy as hell and well she can't come home tonight and it gets lonely staying there by my little lonesome." She explained
Brock sighed.
"Alright but you'll have to take it up with mom and dad."
Lucy nodded and smiled as she took off her shoes and entered the house. Brock sighed what could possibly go wrong tonight.
Gary, Ash and Drew were at home playing a wrestling game online with each other. Gary and Ash were winning 3 to 4 to 1 with Ash having 3 wins, Gary having 4 wins and Drew having 1 win. Gary private messaged Drew and told him to follow his lead for what was about to happen Drew replied OK.
"So Ashy-boy, you gave us all quite a shock the other day at Serena's party with the gift you got her. That must have made you pay a lot for it." Gary teased
"It did, only a $150 which was surprising since I thought it would be more, but I'm not complaining." Ash admitted
"You know, you could have gotten her anything in the world like what all of us got her but instead you got her that why?" Drew asked
"Remember what I wrote in the card? That explains it all."
"True it does well most of it, but come on Ash, we know you. You wouldn't blow money like that on just anyone much less yourself unless..." Gary teased again
"Unless what?" Ash asked in annoyance.
"You like her, as in more than friends." Drew stated plainly.
Ash sighed and then spoke.
"If I tell you, will you two promise not to say anything to her?" he asked in a serious voice.
Gary and Drew agreed and then Ash spoke again.
"For a while now I've been having strange feelings towards Serena. It was after the incident in the forest with the Mankey that they started acting stronger. The day after when guy's night was cancelled I took her Pontya riding. My heart was doing back flips that day and then Halloween night at the dance and in the maze it just made me realize that I like her as in more than friends."
"Dude... that's deep." Gary said in shock
"Promise me you won't say a word to her. I have to tell her myself and I want to do it right."
Gary and Drew said yes agreeing to Ash's terms. The rest of the night went by cracking jokes and wisecracks at each other and of course the precious rage or what some would consider salt occasionally coming from Drew.
After a while Ash excused himself saying he needed to go do something and left the game. Gary and Drew had an idea what it would be that Ash was going to do.
Ash came downstairs and saw his mother watching TV. Delia heard Ash come downstairs and spoke to him.
"Ash sweetie, where are you going?" Delia asked curiously
"Out, I'll be back later." he told her
"Okay sweetie have a good time."
Ash nodded as he put on his hat on his head and headed out the door. He knew that he needed to do this and it was a long time coming since he and Serena first ever met.
Tommy and Jesse were at Jesse's house having dinner with her parents. Her father Harry who was a tall man with stubble of facial hair here and there and with short black hair as Tommy learned was a reporter with the local news agency in town, while her mother Tess was a nurse at the hospital. She was a short women with medium length dirty-Blonde hair. Tommy had offered to cook for them tonight, he made a lemon chicken and pasta covered in Alfredo sauce. They were all enjoying the meal while talking.
"I have to say son I'm very impressed with this meal, most boys your age are either into fast cars, video games, working out or girls. It's very rare to find a boy with this much potential in him for culinary cuisine." Harry said in amazement
"Thank you, I learned a bit from my father watching him in the kitchen while he was working from when I was younger and some on my own experimenting." Tommy replied shyly
"Tommy dear, what does your mother do for a living?" Tess asked
"She stays at home, she used to work with my father at the restaurant but let's just say that my mother has bad luck with using appliances." he answered sheepishly.
Everyone laughed at Tommy's comment about his mother. Once they finished eating Jesse and her mother excused themselves to clean up leaving Tommy and her father alone.
"Tommy. It's clear to me that you really love my daughter very much and I know you won't hurt her but I still have to say it as a father: If the day comes that you ever do decide to hurt her in any shape or form then I will hunt you down and kill you. Jesse is precious to us and we wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to her." he said in a stern voice.
Tommy gulped and nodded at the older man's statement.
Jesse and her mother came back soon after, her mother packed Tommy a container of leftovers for him and then he took his leave with Jesse.
"So what did you and dad talk about while we were in the kitchen?" Jesse asked with a smile.
"Oh nothing just him being overprotective of you saying that if anything happened to you because of me that he would kill me." Tommy said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"That father of mine I swear I'll give a good tongue-lashing when I get back home. I'm so sorry about him." she said apologizing.
"It's fine, I'm sure my mom would react the same way since I'm her baby boy."
The two of them laughed as they reached Tommy's house.
"I had a really nice time tonight." Jesse told him.
"Same here, see you tomorrow?"
"Of course my little chef in training."
The two of them kissed and Jesse went on her way home. Tommy stood at his doorstep for a minute thinking he was truly a lucky guy.
Dawn was on her way home from the park when she bumped into someone. When she got a good look at the person she saw in-front of her was Leonard's sister Lisa.
"Lisa I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-" Dawn began.
"It's Fine I should have watched where I was going,Anyway Mick told me everything about your involvement with his plan. I trust his judgement and I know how you are, So I'm going to say this for me and my mother: bring back the old Leonard. If there's anyone who can do it, it's you." Lisa told her.
"You believe that much in me?" Dawn asked
"I do, your exactly the thing Lenny needs to wake up from this nightmare so you have my blessing. Now go on and go wake my brother up from his long and arrogant slumber." Lisa answered.
Lisa then left Dawn alone in the park as she darted home. Dawn was glad that she had Lisa's support with Leonard. She knew somehow one way or another that the arrogant streak of Leonard would come to an end and she knew exactly what to do now.
May was at home with her mother spending a quiet night since Max and her father were out at Max's school. Max was being a troublemaker with a fellow student and Norman decided to go and talk to the teacher while pulling Max out on his ear.
"Mom, can I ask you something?" May asked
"Sure sweetie, what is it?" Caroline wondered
"Are you and dad upset that I like girls more than boys? Cause I know he wanted me to bring a boy home." May asked shyly.
Caroline touched May's face and then hugged her.
"Oh honey, we're not upset at all. Were we shocked at first? We were but your our daughter and we'll love you and your brother no matter what at the end of the day. Unless you commit a crime then you are on your own." she assured May.
The two them laughed as the men returned home. Max was grounded for a month because when Norman went to find out what he got in trouble for the answer surprised him. Max was in trouble because he decided to take a chalk eraser put it in the crease of the door so that when the teacher opened it, it would fall on them.
Serena was finishing up her homework when her pokemon came up to her with pleading eyes and their food bowls. She apologized to them for taking long and then headed downstairs to put food in their dishes as well as have dinner for herself.
Grace came in the door shortly after and slumped herself on the couch. Serena laughed at her mother's silliness and went over to talk to her after eating.
"Long day at work?" Serena asked.
"You have no idea, one boy got lost in the forest riding, another got stomped on by half of the stables Rhyhorn and one got hit in the you know where by Rhyhorn's horn. I swear it's like all the bad students just comes to me." Grace said tiredly.
"Well it's not like it didn't happen before when you were trying to get me to learn how to ride, remember all the bruises I used to get from trying to learn or every time I yelled that I hated it but look at me now." Serena assured her
"Ya, but the difference between you and them is that they just plain have bad luck with them, especially the one who got horned by Rhyhorn." Grace joked.
The two of them laughed for a good while, once they stopped laughing Grace noticed the ribbon on Serena's clothes.
"So that's what you did with Ash's present, well at least one of them." Grace stated
Serena blushed at her mother's comment and then she spoke.
"Ya, he questioned it today and asked me if it was the same ribbon. He even told me that it looked good on me once I told him it was indeed the same ribbon." Serena admitted
"That's nice, you know it sounds like he's starting to fall for you without himself even noticing it, reminds a bit of your father when he gave me this hairclip."
"That's exactly what Shauna said to me about him, it's like you two are a psychic pokemon or something."
"Oh no, you busted us we're secretly a Ralts and Gardevoir in disguise trying to take over the human race." Grace joked.
Serena giggled at her mother. She barely remembered anything about her father from when he was young since he left them at an early age but the stories her mother would tell her about him would make her laugh and the bit about being a psychic pokemon made her laugh even harder.
Grace was about to speak again when someone knocked on the door.
"You expecting someone to come over tonight?" Grace asked Serena
"No, I'll go see who it is." Serena told her.
Serena got up from the couch and went to open the door. Once she got to the door and opened it she saw Ash standing in front of it. He looked like he had a nervous look on his face like he was thinking about something which puzzled Serena.
"Serena who is it?" Grace asked
"It's Ash." Serena repiled.
"Oh, I'll let you two talk then." Grace said as she went back to watch tv and take out her dinner to eat.
Serena nodded as she faced Ash again. The look on his face changed this time from nervous and over thinking to a confident one.
"Ash, what is it? How come your here? Not that I'm complaining that your here." Serena asked him curiously.
"I came here to ask you something and it couldn't wait until tomorrow and not even over the phone." he told her.
"Okay Ash, I'll bite what is it that you want to ask me that couldn't wait?" she asked more curiouser.
Ash gulped as he spoke, the next words that came out of his mouth were words Serena was not ever expecting the words he said until a bit later. It was like she was imaging things but she knew it wasn't her imagination. The words she heard were:
"Serena... do you want to go out on a date with me?"
Oliverqueen01- Oh ho ho, what have I done? Ash is asking Serena out on a date?! Have I gone mad? Have I gone to earth 2 and sent my doppelganger to write this? The answers to these questions is no. :p so let's recap everyone now knows Serena's crush. A little bonding moments between Mick/Lisa, Brock/Forrest, Brock/Lucy, Tommy/Jesse and her parents, Dawn/Lisa, May/Caroline and Serena/Grace. Now I think where we're going next chapter is pretty much obvious :p. and yes i pulled a naruto episode 4 with Max and the eraser. Also your probably wondering why this chapter is early this week well usually I stay up to watch the episode from japan as they air at 6am cause time difference is a thing LOL but seeing as we're on a break on until the 30th for league preparation means this chapter and next one comes early until we resume episode airing. And if you haven't heard the news Ash will make it to the semis at least against Shota/Sawyer and after that it's up in the air. Anyway enough of me babbling let's get to the reviews/questions.
Reviews/questions
