Hi everyone, DisneyAnimefan94 and welcome to the finale of Amour Bittersweet. Originally the previous chapter was the last one but with her new look reviled in the last XY episode I've decided to do a version of that as the last chapter. So thanks for reading everyone.

Chapter 5: A New Look for a New Start

Serena had just put the finishing touches on her own makeover as she looked in the reflection of the water near the docks.

"Not bad for my first time." She said to herself. She cut her hair on her own and created new traveling clothes for herself including a new hat but then she frowned. "But what if the others don't like it?" she said to herself. "What if Ash doesn't like it?" she said as she fantasized about Ash being mad at her and leaving her. Her fantasy was interrupted when Polly squirted her with a watergun attack. "Polly what did you do that for?" she asked as Polly then scold her with Fennekin and Pancham joining her. Serena then smiled knowing what they were trying to say. "Your right you guys I shouldn't doubt myself. I have to be more confident in myself." She said taking a deep breath. "Okay here I go." She said as she walked confidently back to the Pokémon Center. When she arrived she showed off her new look to the others. It surprised Bonnie and Clemont a lot as she then turned to her boyfriend. "So what do you think Ash?" she said as Ash just continue to stand their staring at her. Serena then started to grow worried. Oh I knew this was a bad idea. She thought to herself. Great idea Serena, let's cut your hair and put on some new clothes for a brand new start of your journey. Like that would ever impress Ash, he'll probably hate me now and move on to another girl and then… Her thoughts were then interrupted when she was pulled into a deep passionate kiss. Serena just stood there in shock as she then melted into the kiss. Clemont quickly then covered Bonnie's eyes as she covered Dedenne's eyes so that they both couldn't see their mini make out session. Ash and Serena then broke the kiss as the Kanto native smiled at her.

"Does that answer your question?" he said with a grin as Serena just rolled her eyes as the two laughed. Ash then looked at her and noticed something on her new attire. "Hey is that the blue ribbon I gave you?" he asked as she nodded.

"Yeah, it is." She said as he smiled widely.

"It looks great on you." He said as Serena blushed to this and smiled back.

"Thanks Ash." She said as she then ran out the door. "Well come on you guys, last one to the next city is a rotten Pokémon Egg!" she said to the others as they all smiled and picked up their backpacks and ran after her. After running for what felt like forever the group had decided to take a brake as they sat down for lunch.

"Hey Serena, I do have one question." Ash said as Serena looked at him.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Who cut your hair, I mean the salons and barbershops around town weren't open when you left earlier." He said as Serena then blushed and look down.

"Well the thing is, I did all by myself." She said as Ash was shocked.

"You did, but who then helped you?" he asked as Serena then looked at her Pokémon and smiled.

"Oh I think you can guess that answer." She said as Ash looked at Fennekin, Pancham and Polly and nodded.

"Well either way, you still look beautiful as ever." He said as Serena blushed.

"Thanks Ash." She said as he scooted closer to her and gave her a passionate kiss.

"Love you Serena." He said.

"Love you too Ashy." She responded back. Soon the group of four would be on their way to the next gym and showcase, as their journey together continued.
