Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a good Christmas! Here's Chapter 7 of AKJTK! Enjoy! ( I'm on a sugar high! That's why I'm using so many exclamation marks!)
…...
" I cant believe you threatened to drag me back to that... undergarment store." Ash said shivering as she sat pouting in a dress store the next day.
Gary, Pikachu, and Clemont pouted as well as they were forced to sit and shop with the girls.
" Are you telling me you had to go into a store with all those girly undergarments?" Gary said a laugh threatening to rip out of his throat.
First Clemont chuckled then full out laughed. Pikachu followed shortly after, setting off Gary as well. Ash blushed a little before glaring at all three of them.
" I wouldn't have had too if those two traitors didn't leave me hanging!" She exclaimed.
Her words fell on deaf ears as the three boys continued laughing tears falling down their face.
They finally calmed down a minute later. Suddenly Serena came out in a red dress. It reached down to her knees and had ruffles on the skirt part. It glimmered in the florescent lights of the store since it had glitter around the top part and bits at the bottom. She wore shiny black shoes and a mask that looked like a blazing fire. It was a simple dress and mask, yet it suited her perfectly.
" How do I look?" Serena asked twirling around.
Bonnie smiled and clapped, Ash nodded her head and smiled, Clemont had his mouth hanging open a moment before smiling and nodding, and Gary nodded and smiled. Serena beamed at them.
" Ill get this one then."
She stepped back into the dressing room and came out minutes later carrying her red dress in the crook of her arm mask on top.
" Time to find you a dress Ash!" Serena exclaimed with a smile.
Ash looked and gave her sour look before standing up and sighing. When Serena turned her back for a brief moment to pick up the mask she dropped, Ash mouthed ' Help me' a pleading look in her eyes.
Gary, Clemont, and Pikachu looked at her and shrugged their shoulders. She huffed and turned back around.
Serena then turned around and dragged her by the arm toward the many dresses that surrounded the store with Bonnie following a skip in her step.
Gary, Clemont, and Pikachu shook their heads and laughed.
…...
" For the last time I'm not wearing pink!" Ash shouted at Serena throwing her heads in the air.
This was the tenth time Serena had picked up a pink dress and the tenth time Ash yelled how much she hated the color pink and that she wouldn't wear it unless it was the end of the world which by the wasn't happening at that very moment.
Serena sighed in defeat and put the dress back on the rack. Then she rolled her eyes.
" Fine you pick the dress and we'll judge if its cute or not." Serena said shaking her head and throwing her hands up.
Ash smiled at that and grabbed a random dress off the rack.
" Great we have a mutual understanding then." Ash said before skipping off to the dressing room that was away from the three boys on the opposite side of the store.
Moments later Ash stepped out and twirled around in a dark blue dress that reached to her knees. It had silvery white glitter all on the bottom part of the dress making it shine. It also had silvery straps. It came with a silver mask. She also wore shiny black shoes like Serena.
Serena and Bonnie's jaw dropped.
" I think were done." Serena said smiling. " I guess you could pick out a dress on your own."
Ash smiled and laughed. " Actually I picked this randomly so don't go talking to me about clothes."
Serena and Bonnie laughed and smiled as they walked to the cash register. They picked out a light purple dress with lilacs around the hem and a light purple mask to go with it and they walked to the cash register to pay for everything.
…...
" Come on aren't you gonna show me the dress you picked?" Gary asked as the group walked out of the store.
Ash smiled and winked. " You'll find out later."
As they walked they heard Serena loudly gasp. " What's wrong?" Everybody said.
" We need to go get you guys tuxedos!"
Both boys paled slightly as Ash snickered quietly to herself.
" That's okay Serena. We can just wear jeans and a t-shirt." Gary said while Clemont nodded in agreement.
That just seemed to prompt her even more. She gave them a pointed look and grabbed both their wrist.
" Were going shopping for tuxedos whether you like it or not!" Serena exclaimed in a tone that said 'case closed.'
Both boys groaned and pleaded for Ash to help them. She smiled and shook her head laughing to herself. They glared but they couldn't get mad since they did do it to her twice. They were both dragged by their arms to one of the stores across the street.
" You guys go to the Pokemon Center. We wont be long!" Serena shouted toward Ash and Bonnie.
" Ok!" Ash shouted back.
" Come on Bonnie." Ash said laughing a little at her friends misfortune.
Both girls walked to the Pokemon Center Ash laughing along the way and Bonnie looking at her in confusion.
…...
" Ow! Serena you just burned me!" Ash said rubbing her now burned ear as she glared at her friend.
" Sorry Ash but you kept moving." Serena said shrugging her shoulders. " Now turn back around so I can finish your hair."
Ash turned her head around and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
' Wow. I cant believe it's been a month already since I've been a girl.' Ash thought looking at herself thoughtfully.
She also noticed her hair had been finished and the curling iron had been turned of and put on the side of the sink. Her hair cascaded down in curls reaching down to just touch her shoulders. Ash then felt Serena grab at her hair and pull.
" Ow! Serena what the heck?! I thought we were down here!" Ash exclaimed.
Serena flicked her in the back of the head and tied her hair back letting a couple curls escape before sticking bobby-pins in to hold the style in place.
" Ok look in the mirror." Serena said smiling at her handy work.
Ash looked in the mirror and gasped at what she saw. Her hair had been styled into a bun with curls sticking out here and there along with curls on either side of her face.
" Thanks Sere." Ash said smiling as she stood up and brushed her dress down.
Serena smiled at the nickname. " Your welcome. Now come on the ball starts in fifteen minutes and we need to beat the boys there."
Ash chuckled and walked out of the bathroom and grabbed her silver mask putting it on over her eyes and smiled at Serena once again.
" Ready to go?"
She nodded and both girls walked out of the door closing it behind them.
…...
The place where the ball was being held was big. Very big. The ceiling curved into a dome like shape and curved around the sides. Marble covered the floor as it glimmered and shined. The lights shined brightly as people around the room mingled and chatted or simply danced to the exciting music as it played loudly around the room. Serena and Ash looked in amazement. Serena told her she was going to go see if she could find Clemont and Ash just waved her off as she stared in amazement at the room. She walked toward the refreshments table and seemed to drool at how much food there was.
Sandwiches that were shaped into triangles sat atop a platter. Next there was a chocolate fountain with fruit such as strawberries, bananas, and apples(1). They sat on a platter next to it so you could dip them in the fountain. There was also fried chicken, chips with salsa and nacho cheese, mini cheeseburgers, and more fruit. Mini pizzas sat on the platters as well steaming hot. ( just think of bagel bites.) Ash grabbed a plate and piled it high with a little of everything. She sat munching on her food and finished it ten minutes later.
Suddenly a slow song started to play and everyone found a partner to dance with as the music began. Ash sighed and looked at all of the people with partners. ' I guess everyone has a partner.'
She was about to just grab a piece of fruit when she heard a voice behind her.
" Would you like to dance with me?"
