Ash and Kairi dancing in the moonlight
'I can't believe that Sora chose Riku over me! What does he even see in Riku? I mean come on!' Kairi thought in frustration as she stared at the water in front of her.
The waves rolled steadily towards her and then crashed right before her toes.
'Just like Sora. He searched for me for years and then turned away.'
She heard running footsteps behind her but she didn't turn.
'It's probably just someone jogging on the beach for exercise.' She frowned. 'Or it's Sora and Riku sneaking off to the island.'
"Kairi!" the person yelled and she turned in surprise.
A boy was racing towards her. He had black hair that was mostly covered by a red and white cap with a strange green symbol on it.
"Ash!" she said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
He caught up to her and bent over, panting.
"Did…you really…forget?" he managed.
"Forget?" she asked. "Forget what?"
He managed to slow his racing pulse and look up at her.
"You DID forget," he said crossly. "We said we were going to meet here tonight."
Something clicked in Kairi's head.
"Oh yeah…sorry I forgot." She looked away. "I've just had a lot on my mind."
"Did Sora finally choose Riku?"
She nodded.
"Took him long enough."
She glared at him and he shrugged.
"You know it's true."
"Did you come here just to pull at painful topics?" she demanded.
Ash chuckled and walked closer to her.
"Of course not. I came here for that date you promised me."
She smiled.
"It's about time. I thought had completely forgotten about that."
Ash reached out and took her hand.
"A date? You seriously think I would forget that?"
Kairi felt herself blush slightly.
"I'm glad you didn't."
Pikachu took that moment to pop out of the bag Ash had abandoned a few feet away.
"Pika!"
Ash sighed and turned to the mouse-like creature.
"Pikachu! I told you to stay in the bag!"
"Pika! Pika!"
Ash frowned a pulled a small ball out of his pocket.
"I didn't want to do this," he said as he made the little yellow mouse return to the Pokéball.
He turned back to Kairi.
"Sorry about that. He said he was going to be good."
Kairi laughed.
"It's okay. He just wanted to be with you."
"Yeah, but I want to be with YOU right now."
Kairi felt herself blush again.
Ash smiled and took both of her hands.
They walked to the edge of the water and sat down.
"The sun is setting," he said quietly.
"Yes it is. It's really pretty."
Ash nodded.
"I'm glad I'm watching it with you."
Kairi smiled.
"I am too."
The pair sat next to each other in silence and watched the sun slip into darkness.
"Kairi?" Ash started, looking deeply into the water to avoid looking at her.
She was surprised at the sudden mention of her name and turned to him.
"Yeah?"
"Umm…" Ash blushed slightly. "Would," his voice failed him and he took a deep breath. "Would you like…to dance?"
When he finished, Ash immediately hid his face in his knees.
Kairi stared at him in amazement.
"Are-are you serious?" she asked.
Ash buried his face deeper.
"I knew you wouldn't want to," he said quickly. "I just thought I would ask."
Ash jumped to his feet.
"I-I have to go now! I-I'll see you later!"
He started to grab his bag when Kairi put a hand on his shoulder.
"That's not what I meant Ash," she explained calmly. "I was just surprised that you said that."
Ash turned to her.
"Really?"
Kairi nodded.
"I'd love to dance with you."
Ash's eyes widened.
"R-Really?" he asked again.
Kairi smiled.
"Of course."
Ash grinned widely and took her hand.
"You know there's no music, right Ash?"
Ash blushed slightly.
"Yeah I knew that."
He started singing quietly.
Come my love I'll tell you a tale,
Of a boy and girl
And there love story.
And how he loved her oh so much,
and all the charms she did possess
Kairi smiled in embarrassment but she was still happy.
Now this did happen once upon a time,
When things were not so complex.
And how he worshiped the ground she walked,
And when he looked he became obsessed.
Ash began to turn slowly and led Kairi in the dance.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
Kairi stared at him in shock.
His love was stronger than the power so dark,
A prince could have within his keeping.
His spells to weave and steal her heart,
Within her heart but only sleeping.
Ash pulled her close.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
Kairi's eyes widened at the close contact but didn't say anything.
And he said:
"Don't you know I love you oh, so much,
and lay my heart at the foot of your dress."
And she said:
"Don't you know that storybook loves,
Always have a happy ending."
Ash leaned into Kairi and gently kissed her.
Then he swooped her up just like in the books
And on his stallion the rode away.
The pair stopped dancing and just held each other.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
My love is like a storybook story,
But it's as real as the feelings I feel.
"I love you Kairi," Ash whispered.
Kairi felt herself blush again.
"I love you too Ash."
Ash smiled and picked her up.
"May I take you home, Princess?" he asked.
Kairi's blush deepened and she could only nod.
"As you wish."
