Chapter 2: Nightmares
Serena watched Ash dance with Misty. Ash looked so amazing... Serena's heart bean to race as she watched him dance in the moonlight.
"Oh, Ash... I love you..." She whispered. Ash laughed, looking over.
"I know, Serena."
Serena looked up quickly, her face hot.
"You do!?"
Ash smiled.
"Yes. I just don't love you. Misty is better- Misty is perfect."
Serena watched as Ash pulled Misty into a long kiss, and Serena tried not to cry as her knees buckled and she fell to her knees...
A loud -Bang!- echoed throughout the hotel room as Serena hit the floor.
"Oww... Thank God... Just a dream..."
Serena slowly sat up.
"A horrible, awful dream..."
A tear slipped down Serena's face as she stood up to get dressed.
Serena sat at the kitchen table as Clemont made pancakes for breakfast.
"Awake and dressed already?" Clemont asked.
"Usually nobody's up at this hour besides me."
"I had a nightmare," Serena replied.
"I can't fall asleep."
Clemont yawned.
"Sorry to hear that. Do you mind helping me out with the pancakes?"
Serena walked over, ready to do anything it took to take her mind off of Ash. For about ten minutes the two of them silently made pancakes and put them on plates, ready to eat before they had finished and were cleaning up. Grabbing the powdered sugar, Serena began to sprinkle it over top of the individual pancakes. Serena sighed happily. It reminded her of making Pokepuffs.
(Perhaps I will make some today with Braixen and Sylveon. Something to calm me down at least...)
Lost in thought, Serena collided with Clemont, getting powdered sugar all over their clothes and on the counter. Serena grabbed his arm so she didn't fall.
"Uh, sorry-"
She suddenly heard Bonnie laughing at the doorway to the room.
"Oo laa laa Serena! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Serena quickly let go of Clemont, her face growing warm. Clemont stepped back until he bumped into the wall, nervously wiping the powdered sugar off of his clothes.
Silence.
"Good morning, Bonnie..." Serena chimed in as she grabbed a plate.
"Have a pancake."
Bonnie's smirk died down into a smile as she began to eat.
Serena closed her bag with all her things in it. They were going to the movies to watch a kung-fu movie featuring a bunch of different Fighting-Type Pokemon. It was Misty's idea, and she had said that 'we should all go have some fun together'. Whatever.
Serena ended up sitting with Bonnie and Clemont in the back of the car since the two lovebirds were in the front, talking about who knows what.
"See Clemont? Ash has a girlfriend. Look how happy he is! Right, Serena?"
Serena was brought back into reality.
"Uh, sure."
Bonnie thought for a moment, then smiled.
"Serena, you should be Clemont's Keeper!"
Clemont blushed, angrily signaling for Bonnie to shut it.
"For the last time, cut it out! I can find someone myself!"
Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, sure. Because you're not totally hopeless."
As the siblings began to bicker, Serena looked over at Clemont through the corner of her eye. He had been really nervous around her lately. Was is possible that he had a crush on her? She blushed slightly. Perhaps... She wasn't meant to be with Ash at all... But with Clemont?
