New Years Eve, 3 hours until New Year: Everyone is getting in their dresses or suits to go to the ball. The adults were ready; they were just waiting for their kids. They come down the stairs all ready to go. Even their pokémon were dressed up.
"All right, it will take an hour to get there so make sure you guys got everything." Grace reminds them. Everyone double checks for anything they missed. No one left anything behind so they all pile into the 2 cars.
Serena, Ash, Delia and Grace were in one car. The siblings and their father in the other car. Everyone gets out of the driveway and starts driving. "How much longer do I have to wear this stupid monkey suit?" Clemont complains.
"Relax, you only have to be in it until 12, then, whenever we leave, you can take it off when we get back home." His dad replies. Clemont just sighs.
1 hour later: The 2 cars park right next to the building. They all hear music booming inside. Delia and Meyer give their keys to the valets. Everyone heads inside.
"Tickets please." A woman in a black suit asks. Delia gives her the 7 tickets and she quickly scans them. "Okay then. Enjoy the dance. Happy New Year!" She says cheerfully.
Everyone heads in and sees a crowd of people. Some of them dancing, some drinking, some talking with each other, just like any other dance. "I didn't think this place would be so packed." Serena said.
"Yeah it usually is. Anyway, you guys go enjoy the dance" Delia says. The group starts walking around and dancing every now and then until finally. "Hey Ash!" A voice says. Ash looks at the person who said the voice. "Hey Misty." Ash says. "Guys, this is Misty, one of the first people I met on my pokémon journey." Ash said.
"Hi there." She says smiling. "Misty, this is Clemont, Bonnie, and my girlfriend Serena." Ash says. Misty shook both of their hands. "Nice to meet all of you. So, you're Ash's girlfriend huh?" Serena nods her head.
Misty whispers in her ear "How do you put up with him?" "You get used to his thick headiness." Serena said out loud. "Hey, I'm not THAT thick headed." Everyone laughs.
"So, are your sisters here?" Ash asked, clearly making small talk. "No, they said it would be to 'childish'." Misty explains. "And yet, people of all ages are here, having fun." Clemont deducts. "Even though half of the adults are drunk." Serena says. Again they laugh.
"So is Brock here?" Ash asked. "Who's Brock?" Bonnie asked. "Brock was another person I met on my journey. He was my first gym leader I had battled. He joined me and Misty and helped us out a lot." Ash explains. "Ah" Bonnie says. "No he is not here. He couldn't find a 'date'" Misty used air quotes when she said that word.
"What's with the air quotes?" Serena asked. "Well, brock is kind of… a hopeless romantic I guess you can say." Misty says. "Anyway, he's moping at home because any girl he would ask shot him down."
Ash was about to Ask something else when another voice came "Hey Ashy boy!" Gary says coming up to them. "Hey Gary. I wasn't expecting to see you here." Ash says. They hi-five each other as a greeting.
"Gary, these are my friends from Kalos, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena." Ash introduces. "Well, aren't you a cute one?" Gary says to Serena. "Nice try, but I'm Ash's girlfriend" Serena says coldly.
Gary blinks "Ash's girlfriend?" Serena nods. "Ash's Girlfriend?" he mocks. "I'm standing right here you know." Ash says. "I know, I'm just messing with ya." Gary says they start laughing. They chat for a while until another voice comes.
"Ash? Is that you?" May comes rushing over with drew on her heels. He bends over trying to catch his breath. "Jeez May, you act like you just say a celebrity." He says once he gets his breath.
"Hey guys, how's the relationship going?" Ash asked. "Good , good. I'm pregnant." May says casually. Everyone gets shocked looks. "WHAT!?" everyone says at once. May starts laughing. "I'm just kidding. So, who are these guys?" May asked
"I'm Bonnie." Bonnie introduces. "Clemont." "I'm Serena, nice to meet you." "Hi, I'm May, and this is my boyfriend Drew." Drew bows. "Pleasure to meet all of you." He says.
"Hey Ash!" Dawn says coming up. "Hey Dawn." Ash says.
Another introduction later(yes I'm lazy): Everyone talks and chats for awhile. Ash goes to find something to eat. He goes to the Buffet table and picks up a plate when he hears a familer voice. "I smell the aroma of an old friend. Hello Ash." Cilan says behind him. Ash turns and sees the green haired boy.
"Hey Cilan! Are you and your brothers catering here?" Ash asked. "Your mind is as sharp as ever I see. Yes. When your mom called me to visit you for the New Year's Eve party, I naturally asked if my brothers and I could cater." Cilan explains.
"Well, your guy's food smells delicious as always." Ash said. "Thank you, I'll be sure to let them know. I would like to join you but we still need to provide food." Cilan says. "I understand. Did you see Iris around?" Ash asked.
Cilan shakes his head "No, she isn't here. She wanted to continue training back in Unova." Cilan says. "Ah well. Send her my regards when you guys get back." Ash says grabbing some food and leaving. "Of course. Enjoy the food." Cilan says. Ash nods and heads back to where everyone was talking and dancing.
"Hey May, where is Max?" Ash asked when he started to sit to the table where everyone was. "He should be somewhere around here and… oh my god." May says looking in a direction. Everyone else looks to see what she was looking at. Max was dancing with someone. And that someone was Bonnie!
"I think I'm gonna hurl." May said. "I'm with you on that." Clemont says. Serena opened her mouth and pointed in it and made gagging noise. Just then, the DJ of the dance got a microphone.
"All right everyone it's one hour before New years so I think we should spice this up, with some Karaokeeeeeeeee!" he says with much enthusiasm. May grabbed Drew's hand and dragged him out of the chair. "Come on Drew, let's go sing!" May says still dragging him. Drew looks toward the guys and mouthed 'Help me!' Ash just waved at him, Clemont was still looking at Max and Bonnie, and Gary just laughed.
Just then Serena grabbed Ash wrist and said "Come on Ash, let's go sing too!" "uhh…" Ash got out of the chair and he heard Gary burst out laughing. Drew and Ash were waiting on their Girlfriends to pick the songs.
"Oh man what have we gotten ourselves into?" Ash said to Drew. "Kill me now. I'd rather die right here then embarrass myself up there" Drew complained May and Serena came back.
"Okay guys, Drew and I are up first. We're singing 'Me and My Broken Heart' by Rixton." May said. Drew groans. "And we're singing 'Superheroes' by The script." Serena said to Ash. Ash groans too.
The DJ gets on the mic. "Okay everyone, up first we have Drew and May singing 'Me and My Broken Heart' by Rixton!" People clap them on stage. Drew looked like he was about to pass out. The music starts playing and May starts singing.
"All I need is a little love in my life, all I need is a little love in the dark, A little but I'm hoping it might kick start, me and my broken heart" Her singing turned a couple of heads.
"I need a little loving tonight, hold me so I'm not falling apart, a little but I'm hoping it might kick start, me and my broken heart." Drew grew a little smile.
May, "Shotgun, aimed at my heart, you got one. Tear me apart in this song. How do we call this love?" Everyone watching said "Whoa oh oh oh!"
Drew, "I tried, to run away but your eyes, tell me to stay oh why? Why do we call this love?" Again, the crowd sing "Whoa oh oh oh!" Even Ash's friends started to pay attention.
May, "It, seems like we've been losing control!" Drew, "So bad it don't mean I'm not alone." Both, "When I say! All I need is a little love in my life! All I need is a little love in the dark. A little but I'm hoping it tight kick start. Me and my broken heart!" The crowd started to cheer them on
"I need a little loving tonight. Hold me so I'm not falling apart! A little but I'm hoping it might kick start. Me and my broken heart!"
Drew, "Maybe some part of you just hates me, you pick me up and play me. How do we call this love?" May, "One time tell me you need me tonight to make it easy, you lie and say it's all for love."
Both "It seems like we've been losing control! So bad it don't mean I'm not alone, when I say, all I need is a little love in my life! All I need is a little love in the dark! A little but I'm hoping it might kick start, me and my broken heart. I need a little loving tonight, hold me so I'm not falling apart. A little but I'm hoping it might kick start. Me and my broken heart!"
Drew, "It's just me," May, "It's just me," Both, "It's just me, me and my broken heart. All I need is a little love in my life. All I need is a little love in the dark! A little but I'm hoping it might kick start." The crowd kept cheering louder and louder. Both of them were getting into it.
"Me and my broken heart! I need a little loving tonight. Hold me so I'm not falling apart. A little but I'm hoping it might kick start. Me and my broken heart!" They both ended with their hands holding the mic in the air.
A huge cheer goes out into the crowd. They see Gary, Bonnie, Max, and Dawn, and Misty clapping. They go behind the stage where Serena and Ash were. Serena gave a little squeal and went up and hugged her.
"You guys were amazing!" Serena compliments. "Thank you Serena!" May returned. "Nice job Drew. You looked like you were really getting into that." Ash said. Drew lets out a little giggle. "Well good luck. You're going to need it!" He says as they start to leave.
"Ready Ash?" Serena says with a smile. Ash scratches the back of his head. "I don't think I am." He admits. "Well, will this change your mind?" She says with a grin. She leans into Ash and plants her lips on his and kisses him. She breaks apart and winks at the blushing Ash.
"Did that encourage you?" She says. "Yep, that encouraged me." Ash says with a smile. The DJ already announced them so they began walking up the stage. There are a couple of wolf whistles both by guys and girls. The music starts playing the introduction. Then Ash sings first.
"All her life she has seen all the meaner side of me. They took away the prophet's dream, for the profit on the street. Now she's stronger than you know, a heart of steel starts to grow."
Serena steps in front of Ash and Ash steps back. "All his life he's been told, he'll be nothing when he's old. All the kicks and all the blows! He won't ever let show. 'Cause he's stronger than you know, a heart of steel starts to grow."
They sing together "When you've been fighting for it all your life! You've been struggling to make things right! That's how a superhero learns to fly." Ash sings "Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power!"
Together again "When you've fighting for it all your life, you've been working every day and night. That's how a superhero learns to fly!" Serena sings "Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power" The crowd echo's power several times.
Serena sings again "All the hurt all the lies! All the tears that they cry. When the moment is just right, you'll see fire in their eyes!" Ash "'Cause he's stronger than you know, a heart of steal starts to grow,"
They sing together "When you've been fighting for it all your life !You've been struggling to make things right! That's how a superhero learns to fly." Ash sings "Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power!"
Together again "When you've fighting for it all your life, you've been working every day and night. That's how a superhero learns to fly!" Serena sings "Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power!" The crowd echoes Power again.
Ash sings "She's got a lion in her heart, a fire in her soul he has a Best in his belly that's so hard to control. Because they've taken to much hits taking blow by blow. Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode."
Serena then sings "She's got a lion in her heart, a fire in her soul he has a Best in his belly that's so hard to control. Because they've taken to much hits taking blow by blow. Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode explode explode."
One final time they sing together "When you've been fighting for it all your life !You've been struggling to make things right! That's how a superhero learns to fly." Ash sings "Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power!"
"When you've fighting for it all your life, you've been working every day and night. That's how a superhero learns to fly!" Serena sings "Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power!" When the music slows down Ash sings the final part.
"When you've been fighting for all your life, you've been struggling to make things right that's how a superhero learns to fly." They finished by looking each other in the eyes and smiling. The crowd was going nuts. Some were even calling for an encore.
Ash and Serena leave the stage and go back to their table. There friends are still cheering for them. "Guys that was amazing!" "You were better than us." You hae to do it again!" After about 5 minutes of compliments everyone enjoys as more and more people do karaoke.
An hour passes and the dj stops the music. "All right everyone, raise your glasses! The count begins now!" Everyone raised up a galss.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!" Ash takes out something in his pocket and hangs it over Serena and him.
"Six!" Serena looks up and sees mistletoe.
"Five!" Serena looks and smiles at Ash.
"Four!" Ash looks back and smiles.
"Three." Ash says smiling at Serena still.
"Two." Serena says to Ash.
"One." They say together as they lean in.
