Ok the chapter you've all been waiting for. I don't own Pokemon. Please don't hate. If the characters are weird personalitys well….. Eh I don't care. They're six years older. Blame hormones.

Chapter Five: A Candlelit Dinner?

It was the big day.

The date.

Serena ordered a taxi and they both got in. Serena was bursting with happiness. Her first date. Ash was dreading it. His first date. Shame they were both feeling differently. They finally arrived after twenty seven minutes of awkward silence. Yes, Ash was counting. They stumbled out of the taxi into the doorway of a huge blue mansion. Ash hoped he wasn't the one paying. It sure looked expensive.

Misty blushed as everyone, even boys, stared at her as she and Rudy walked to the restaurant. It was only a three minute walk, so they got there quickly. Rudy was delighted. Misty finally accepted? His dream. He was quick to glare at everyone who starred at her and he held her hand tightly. However, Misty pulled away, not liking the closeness. She grew up with her sisters, of course she hated romantic things.

The Romance Corner? 16 plus only? Serena was lucky to get away with it, she was still fifteen. The guard let her off after two seconds of checking her out. Ash didn't notice, he was staring at a painting of a mew on the wall. Besides he wouldn't really care. They were escorted to their table, which was separated by a pillar, which didn't really separate it. Ash went pink when people stared at them as they sat down, all whispering either "aww how cute" or "how sweet". Serena only smiled and tried to get Ash's hand.

Misty and Rudy quickly hurried to their seats. She glanced around. She felt like everyone was better dressed than her. Even the girl on the table next to her, who looked younger, had a better dress. There was a huge pillar blocking the view of the girls date. She slowly craned her neck around to see what he looked like.

Ash was annoyed. He had been there for five minutes, yet no menu. He wanted to get this over and done with. A couple sat down on the table behind the pillar. He didn't look. He didn't want them to start to coo over them.

Misty gasped. A few people, including Rudy, turned to look at her, and she quickly said she remembered something. She couldn't believe it. It was Ash.

His hair was combed and he wore a suit. He looked like he started working out and even though he was sitting down, he looked taller. He looked hot.

Misty couldn't tear her eyes off him. Love at first sight? Sort of. But she quickly looked off him when he started to turn around.

Inside she was crying in pain. Ash had brought a date. The pretty blonde with the nice dress. Of course he would want her. He probably only cared about prettiness, she thought bitterly. He had probably forgotten about his first friend on his journey, six years ago. He probably didn't care if she died. What had happened to the Ash she knew before?

Drew had told him to always look calm at dates. But Ash was bored out of his mind. He decided to look at the couples around him. An old lady and an old man. A few middle aged couples. He peered around the pillar. Was.. Was that Misty? It certainly looked like it. But she was pretty. Much more pretty than she'd ever looked before. Her hair was piled onto her head and she wore some blush and mascara. Her long purple dress had some silver beads on the hem and she wore a matching hairband.

Now Ash knew what love was. There was a spark of energy as you looked at them, and you wanted to go up to them and confess. Thee was no love to Serena. But with Misty….

Misty walked home alone. Rudy had his eyes on another girl. Misty was glad; she didn't have to dump him. Shh.. Don't tell Rudy that.

"Ash.. My birthdays next week." Serena glanced at him, hoping for a reaction.

When there was no response, she spoke again.

"Can you help me with the invitation list?"

"Ok!" Ash looked up eagerly. "Drew, Paul, May, Dawn and.. Misty."

He went into a dream state again. Serena sighed and gave up.

"Oh Ash."

Misty stared up at the ceiling of her bedroom. She hardly thought about anything else.

"I don't take love seriously, normally."

She twisted her hands nervously. She breathed in quickly.

"But Ash, I'd sacrifice anything to be with you, because for you I will."
