Chapter 3: Planning

When the first thing I saw in the morning was Ash still asleep, It made my whole body happy and relaxed. I felt a a light breeze hit my shoulder so I decided to cling on to Ash longer. Right after I squeezed him a little tighter he moved in response and turned onto his side and put his arm around my like he was hugging me. I'm shocked! I immediately start blushing and now I'm worried! What if he wakes up? I don't think I'm ready to tell him! I turn my head and notice it is still dark outside. It must be about 3 am! 'Come on Serena! Ash is hugging you! Enjoy it!' My mind is right. He feels so warm and I feel so... protected. It's a feeling like as long as he has his arm around me nothing can hurt me. So I decided to just enjoy the moment and snuggle back to sleep.

I wake up suddenly to see Ash looking at me with confused eyes. Our faces must've been less than a foot apart. I instantly jump back to the opposite edge of the tent.

"Ash! You're awake!" My eyes had to be as big as bowling balls and my cheeks had to be more red than a flamethrower attack.

"Ya... Good morning." Ash still had a curious tone.

"I'm sorry! I must've moved in my sleep!" I lied.

"Ya I must've too. I don't remember sleeping on my side." Is that all Ash is thinking about? Not the fact that he had a girl about half a foot away from his face cuddling with him? "I gotta say though, it wasn't as cold with you right there!" Was Ash teasing me? No. He's not like that.

"Ya... I felt really warm waking up." I honestly felt warm the whole night but he can't know that I intentionally moved closer to him.

"Well anyways we have to get up. I wonder what Clemont made for breakfast." He inquired.

'Clemont... Bonnie... BONNIE. I have to talk to her about this!' My mind was both thanking her but also really angry at her. She made me go though the most embarrassing wake up ever but I did get to spend the night in the arms of my crush. I hop out of the tent behind Ash and find Bonnie.

"Why good morning Serena!" Bonnie looked excited.

"Good morning Bonnie! Care to tell me why there were only two tents up last night?" I respond in the most polite way possible.

"Well I was planning on leaving three tents but Ash probably would've gotten into an empty one or sleep in the same tent as Clemont. So I had to only leave two tents so you and Ash would have to sleep together!" She beamed.

"Was this your attempt to get Ash and I together?" Now I'm really curious how much she knows.

"Obviously! I'm pretty sure everyone knows it. Except for Ash of course." She laughed.

"I'm that easy to read huh?"

"Yup!"

"I just have to tell Ash how I feel about him! I don't have a lot of time left before he'll leave!" I remembered.

"Oh and don't forget that we'll probably see Miette before then. She'll probably want to talk with Ash also." My face lit up with fear. Bonnie was right!

"Oh no! I HAVE to tell him today!" That gave me motivation. That was probably my worst fear. Losing Ash to someone like Miette.

"How are you going to tell him?" Bonnie asked me.

"Why don't I put him in a scenario where I rescue him?" I liked that Idea! It worked in the movies.

"No that is an overused cliche" I hear Clemont behind me.

"What?"

"Yes it is. He wouldn't fall in love with you. You'd have to put yourself in a scenario where Ash would have to think about how much he cares for you." Clemont responds.

"How?" I've never been so interested with what Clemont had to say than right now.

"Well you could always put yourself in danger."

"Isn't that a little dangerous? Plus Ash has saved me before!"

"Good point. Well then you could hide somewhere and worry Ash and make him search long and hard for you. That will get him to like you for sure!" Clemont beamed at his Idea.

"Not bad. But I wouldn't be able to stand Ash worried. But so far it's the best option. What else?"

"Well, then there's getting a boyfriend to try and make Ash jealous and he-"

"I made myself a promise that Ash would be my first boyfriend when I saw him again." I interrupted.

"Ok well I'm out of ideas." Clemont said.

"How about you play hard to get?" Bonnie exclaimed.

"What?" Clemont asked his sister.

"Try and avoid Ash so he'll miss you and appreciate you more!" Bonnie beamed

"You know? That's not a bad Idea!" Clemont replied

"I don't know about this guys." I felt uneasy. "I should just tell Ash how I feel."

"Ok well if you need a plan or plans you got them!" Bonnie looked back at me.

I have plans now but I don't know what I should do. I guess I should start with the hard to get plan! I don't know how long I'll be able to resist Ash but It's worth a shot!
