It was a warm summer afternoon in Vaniville Town. A horde of flechling could be seen flying overtop the small cluster of houses that populated the little community. Aside from the occasional wild Pokémon, the streets littering the area were still, except…

"HURRY UP YOU TWO, WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!" Exclaimed a young lemon-haired girl speeding across the empty streets of the neighborhood. Behind her, her older brother attempted (and of course, failed) at catching up with her. Beside him was his girlfriend, a golden-haired girl slightly younger than her partner.

"Bonnie, slow down," The young woman stopped and shouted, raising her hand as if she could flag the girl down. "The party isn't going anywhere!"

The little girl stopped for a second and turned around. "It might as well, considering the pace you two are going!" remarked Bonnie, placing both of her hands on her hips while speaking. Shortly after she started going again, running as fast as she could.

"Well, could you at least slow down for Clem?" Serena tried asking, "He's going to hurt himself if we keep trying to catch up to you!"

"Don't *huff* worry Serena, *huff* I'm okay!" Clemont was barely able to get out before collapsing, using a tree on the side of the road for support.

Both of the girls immediately turned around and ran back to help him. "Ok, now do you think we can walk?" Serena asked, while she helped an exhausted Clemont stand up.

"Yeah, that sounds like a better idea" Bonnie agreed.

"Thank Arceus," Clemont said as he was able to stand up and start walking.

When the trio finally reached Serena's house, she was greeted with a huge surprise. Balloons trimmed the entrance, floating gracefully in the air in shades of pink, red, and yellow. Signs littered the front lawn with the words "Happy Birthday" printed on them. Last but not least, a large banner hung from the door, with a messy pink "Happy 16th Serena!"

Clemont grinned to himself when remembering delpfox and chesnaught helping decorate the entrance the previous day. Deciding that he wanted to be in charge of his girlfriend's special day, he planned the entire party (with some assistance from Bonnie and Grace.) There was a popcorn machine, a disco ball, a chocolate fountain (recommended by Bonnie), and to top it off, he even made Serena's birthday cake. 'She's going to love it!' Clemont thought to himself as he searched his pocket for his spare set of keys.

"I can't wait, Serena!" squealed an extremely excited Bonnie, "Birthdays are always awesome! They're the one day of the year where you can eat a ton of cake and end up puking on a sofa, but no one will judge you since it's your birthday!"

Cringing, Serena shot a worried look a Clemont, who just nods back with a face that's cringing just as badly. "Uh, Bonnie, I don't think my party will go exactly like that," Serena explains, "To be honest, I just want a calm, simple party this year."

At that moment, Clemont froze in panic. 'Wait, WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!' he mentally screamed at himself as Serena turned the front door open. "SURPRISE!" an array of friends and family shouted in unison, a huge clash of music and light shining out the doorway. As well as controlling the decorations, Clemont had invited most (if not all) of Serena's friends and distant family, including Ash.

Poor Clemont wanted to say something, but it was already too late. Serena stood still at the entrance for a few seconds, awestruck by the amount of activity going on, before forcing a smile and walking into the party.

'Dear Arceus, I really screwed up' Clemont thought to himself as he sat in the dining room and watched the party, drink in hand. Serena was catching up with Ash over on the sofa, while Bonnie was drinking straight out of the chocolate fountain, along with chesnaught. If he was in a better mood, Clemont would have walked over there and scolded the two, but he really didn't care at the moment. He was ashamed. Because of him, Serena was probably felling miserable on her special day. 'Well, the least I could do is apologize,' he thought to himself, getting out of the chair and walking over to see her.

"Hey Serena, can I talk to you for a second?" The blonde male asked her.

Serena looked away from Ash and stood up. "Sure!" She replied as the couple walked away towards the middle of the party. Once they got there, Clemont immediately turned around and started on his apology.

"Serena, I am so sorry I messed up your birthday!" Clemont started, "I didn't know that you wanted to do something simple, so I…"

"What!?" Serena exclaimed in shock. "Clem, you didn't mess up my birthday! Sure, I originally thought about a small little get-together, but this… this was amazing. I love you Clemont, and this is the best birthday ever."

Clemont was speechless. At that moment, he felt a lot of emotions. Shock, confusion, but most of all, relief that the party wasn't a complete failure. "So everything WAS perfect?" He asked.

"Well… almost…" Admitted Serena.

"What else do you want? I can get you anyth-" Clemont was interrupted by a pair of lips pressing against his own, answering the question and making this the best birthday ever.
