TDBigJ's message: *Man, I've got a severe headache* Uh, oh, hey guys. What's happening. Don't mind my headache, I just headbutted a bald guy. And if you're wondering if I knocked him out… yes, yes I did. Do you guys believe this? Okay, I don't blame you if you don't. I didn't really have a headache and I really didn't headbutt a bald guy. I would never resort to violence. Only professional wrestlers and boxers do that, and I wouldn't want to be either. Yeah, no severe injuries for me thank you. Yeah, had another job interview today. Same place as my last one. I felt like I did a lot better this time around. Regarding the anime, yep, XY/Z is over (at least in Japan), it's still on here in America. I saw the ending of the last episode, and I just want to say that AMOURSHIPPING IF F***ING CANON! OH THANK GOD! I can't believe Serena finally had the courage to kiss Ash. We got some closure. I sure hope that this is not the last we see Serena in the anime, which I don't think it will be, but I can't be too sure, but if we've seen past companions of Ash meet up with him in a series, I'm pretty sure we'll see Serena again. Cross your fingers. While I celebrate, let's get to the responding of reviews.
Wolves22 (Guest #1): Whatever it was, I'm sorry. Thanks for the review!
Espeon44: I know. Thank heavens. Thanks for the review!
Oliverqueen01: Yeah, I watched it a few days ago, and let's just say, I'm freaking surprised. A hug was what I was expecting but I'm glad I was wrong. Serena did it. She finally did it. Don't worry about watching it that many times, I would too. Thanks for the review!
Dj (Guest #2): Okay, I don't understand…
Guest #3: Glad you did! Thanks for the review!
Guest #4: Thanks! I will.
Darkaura808: Amourshippers unite is right! The rant is fine, don't worry. And you didn't spoil it for me. I watched the clip earlier this week (Which was after your review). Glad you think I didn't drag the beginning too long last chapter. I will consider those suggestions. I haven't really watched the last few episodes of Big Bang either, so I don't really know what has happened recently. It doesn't matter to me that your reviews are long, doesn't bother me in the least. Thanks for the review!
Guest #5: Well, we'll see won't we. As stated above, I have watched the last episode, great ending wasn't it. If it was at their feet, it had to have been on the lips, although I can't be too sure. Thanks for the review!
Brig nodrm2347: It's good that you didn't mind the beginning of the last chapter. Yeah, I like how Denise and Serena reacted. Well, your guess being correct is anyone's guess. It could be anything. Are you right? We'll see. Although you are right when you brought up the kiss part. Thanks for the review!
ManleyTogekiss: Who's Troy? The latter question, I'll figure that out as the story goes. Thanks for the review!
Roger1119: Well, we'll see. Thanks for the review!
Guest #6: Yep. I did in fact see the clip. I was touched. And the crossover fic has been posted, although you already know. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the review!
Mad Ass Dragon: Yeah, I wouldn't eat a goldfish. Ech! Be'd too gross. Not a parakeet either. I'd rather not burp feathers and they're wet. Yeah, I'm sorry things are going too smoothly in this story. I really don't want this story to end up like Chapter seven of Love You Now, Love You Always to you. I know how that went. I could add a stressful moment for one of them, I will find a way to squeeze one in here and there. That last part is a good idea, thanks for bringing it up. Thanks for the review!

The day was now Friday, and a lot of people were using this day to either catch up on work or just to relax. There were actually some people out training their Pokemon for a battle with either someone else or an upcoming gym battle. The people who were meant to be busy, were busy today, but not everybody decided to work today.
Tristan and Bellamy were out in the backyard, playing with a few of Ash's Pokemon, Pikachu being one of them (Obviously). Bulbasaur was another one of them also due to the fact that he lived at the mansion. Another one that was out back with them was Bayleef. Bayleef was one of Ash's most good-natured Pokemon and was always a ball for the kids. When Ash was young, Bayleef had always panicked whenever she wasn't with Ash because she was one of the Pokemon that loved being around him. Bayleef was a great battler too, but was always the pacifist when not in battle. Since Bulbasaur had left the lab a few years back, Bayleef had become the ambassador back at Oak's lab for all of Ash's Pokemon. Bayleef had done a superb job at it as well, although not as good as Bulbasaur did when he had the tenure of doing it.
Ash would take a visit to Oak's lab once every week to check up on how his Pokemon were holding up without him being around them all the time. They were always doing pretty well because he knew they were in good hands with Professor Oak and Gary. The two of them knew what they were doing because they had been working at that lab for ages. Ash was happy that Professor Oak was still working at the lab despite his age. Professor Oak was now in his seventies and was starting to show his age but hardly at all. Oak was still knowledgeable today and did not show any signs of slowing down soon. Gary had starting working full time at his grandfather's lab since he was twelve years old and had travelled the world collecting research for him year by year. He had been a big help to not only his grandfather but to Ash as well. Since the two had became friends and put their rivalry behind them when they were young, Gary did everything he could to help give Ash a little edge by the research he collected and what he did for Ash's Pokemon. The research helped out his Pokemon be a lot better than they already were and helped Ash out with the Pokemon that his opponents used in battle against him, knowledge that Ash didn't already know.
The kids had been throwing around a Frisbee to each other and the Pokemon that were present for the last half hour. If there was one thing that the kids liked doing with the Pokemon other than watching them battle was having some fun with them on off days as well. The Pokemon enjoyed it as well. It was relaxing and a good break from battling all the time. The two month trip around the world that Ash had gone on most recently had really worn them out. Ash had done so many battles during that time he had to have used each of his Pokemon at least ten times each. Battling sure was dedicated work for both the Pokemon and Ash. Ash had to come up with strategies for each of his battles and that was hard work itself. Being World Champion took it's toll on everybody but that's what you had to do to stay the best.
Ash had looked on at this at the back door. Seeing his kids have a good time with his Pokemon was a sight to see. Ash had told the kids many stories about training each one of his Pokemon growing up and what work they had gone through over the years. His children especially loved the stories about Charizard. The part they loved the most was when Charizard was disobedient and barbequed Ash every chance he got, the kids found that funny, but Ash let it go since nowadays he thought that was pretty funny too. Sure it was at his expense, but Ash was willing to laugh at himself. Would you have a good sense of humor if you didn't?
Ash enjoyed watching his kids get along with his Pokemon, but the one playing with them now, Bayleef, was the one he liked seeing them hang out with the most. Bayleef was the most playful one out of all his Pokemon. Bayleef was still the same Pokemon from when Ash first caught her back in Johto when he was young. When he was young, Bayleef was so attached to Ash and still is today, although she spent more time with the kids when they came around. Bulbasaur was the same as well. Bulbasaur liked spending time with the kids and that reason specifically was why Ash had brought Bulbasaur over from the lab a few years back to stay with him from now on. Bulbasaur had basically since then had switched from being the ambassador for his Pokemon to the ambassador for his kids whenever they got into a disagreement, which wasn't often but whenever they fought Bulbasaur was there to resolve it. Ash was proud of Bulbasaur for the problem solver he had been over the years. Ash had never had a trustworthy Pokemon (Other than Pikachu) that helped Ash with non-battle related problems. Bulbasaur did still have to resolve problems with Ash's Pokemon back at the lab every now and then when he visited there or left Bulbasaur for some time. Every one of Ash's Pokemon had a significant trait about them not battle related that made them unique.
Pikachu was out back with them as well. Whenever Tristan or Bellamy threw the Frisbee he would lightly hit it with an iron tail back towards the thrower. Bayleef thought she would be a little more playful and used razor leaf to create a little wind to give it some difficulty. Tristan and Bellamy didn't find it annoying at all. They knew she was trying to play around. Ash smiled and giggled while watching this whole thing. He looked at his watch and it was five thirty. Ash decided it was time for them to come in.
Ash opened the sliding glass door and leaned out a bit. "Okay, you two it's time to come in. Wrap it up."
Bellamy grabbed the Frisbee out of the air. Tristan took out Bayleef's Pokeball and tried to send her back in but couldn't figure out how. Although they saw their dad use a Pokeball many times in battles, they never really saw how their dad sent his Pokemon back in their Pokeballs. Ash seeing this came out and got the Pokeball from Tristan and sent Bayleef back in her Pokeball.
"Sorry dad. I don't know how to do that yet." Tristan apologized.
Ash ruffled Tristan's hair. "Don't worry about it kiddo. It's fine. Let's go in."
The three of them plus Pikachu and Bulbasaur started making their way in. Bellamy nudged Tristan on the left arm.
"Nice job trying to get Bayleef back in." Bellamy said sarcastically.
"Oh get over it, you don't know how either." Tristan retorted.
"You two getting along fine back there?" Ash called from in front of them.
"Yes daddy." They both said.
"All right. Let's go get you two prepared for tomorrow. Remember what you're doing." Ash stated.
"Oh, yeah that's right." Bellamy said.
Ash closed his eyes and smiled. His kids were a colorful duo.
The following day had come around. Serena had gotten herself ready for the day already, and it was only eight thirty in the morning. She was planning to pay Ash a visit today. Normally she would call ahead and ask him if it was okay but today was going to be a little different. She was going to surprise visit him today.
It was a little warm out today so she put on a blue short sleeved v-neck and capris today. She didn't bother wearing shoes, at least not at the moment. She would pay Ash the visit a little later, possibly at one, since that felt like it was the best time.
She bent down and rubbed Pancham's head, who was laying on the floor below her, sleeping. He had came in and fell asleep after doing just so a few minutes before Serena came out here. Pancham wasn't usually much of a sleeper, more in the terms of taking a nap. At night sure, the usual, but not during the day, but he barely got any sleep last night with Braixen and Sylveon turning around on the floor constantly through the night. Pancham was the only male Pokemon of the three, but he was anything but a heavy sleeper. But due to his size, it was kind of obvious. Neither Braixen or Sylveon were heavy sleepers, which is why they had kept Pancham up almost every night with their turning and stretching. It was times he wished he had the sleep powder attack.
Serena leaned down and picked up Pancham off the floor and into her lap. She stroked the top of his head to soothe his nerves and to let him go back to sleep since she woke him up from picking him up.
"Look, I know you had a rough night. Just get your sleep, okay?" Serena whispered, trying to cradle her Pokemon back into the slumber it was just in. Serena liked doing this with Pancham. Pancham was the only Pokemon she could have rest in her lap since he was so small. Braixen and Sylveon were too big. They each took up at least one couch cushion. Serena didn't mind if they did but they didn't want to give her the burden, so they just stayed on the floor all the time. Pancham knew he had a one up on the other two, and he kind of enjoyed it. Braixen and Sylveon knew this as well and they weren't jealous at all, even though they sometimes do wish they were smaller. Serena had always carried Braixen around when she was a Fennekin, and she missed those days, but that was the past, and she was used to it. Serena started humming to try to let Pancham fall asleep faster, and it was working. Serena just had that voice that could ease anyone's or anything's nerves. She'd probably be able to calm a Gyrados down if she could.
Serena looked down at her Pokemon, who was now snoozing soundly on her lap. Serena was happy that she had at least one Pokemon that could do that. She was lucky that in sixteen years that Pancham didn't evolve. If he did… Do I really need to explain it?
A few hours later, Serena had left her three Pokemon alone as she went over to Ash's. Serena put some more trust in her Pokemon to behave while she was gone. It worked so far, and Serena didn't think it would dissolve anytime soon. They had been her Pokemon for a long time, she could trust them with anything.
Not very many people were out today, much to Serena's relief. Since it was a warm day out, most people were either sitting at home around their air conditioners or swimming in their pools.
Serena had made it to Ash's mansion and knocked on the front door. Although it was a thick door, Serena could clearly hear Ash from inside shout "It's open!" So with that confirmation, she opened the door and walked in. Ash noticed it was her as she walked in. As she entered, she saw that Ash was wearing just a blue t-shirt and swim trunks.
"Hey Serena. This is a surprise that you came today."
"Well that was my intention. I wanted to surprise you."
Ash chuckled. "Well, you surprised me all right."
Ash led her to the backyard where he was at before she came to the door. He dipped his foot in the pool to see if it was the right temperature. He didn't want it too cold, just the right to keep himself chilled in the water.
"Hey, I'm going to go for a swim. You don't mind do you?" Ash asked.
"Not at all. Go on ahead." Serena replied.
With that cue, Ash took off his blue shirt. But when he did, Serena saw Ash's build. He apparently had bigger biceps, toned pectorals, and a slight outline of abs. Had Ash been working out? Serena couldn't help but stare at Ash's unexpected muscular form. She was hypnotized by it. Ash took notice of her stare.
"Serena, are you okay?"
With that, Serena snapped back to reality, but her whole face was a deep crimson, partially due to embarrassment, partially due to amazement. Ash had just caught her looking at him, and she was embarrassed by her attraction to his muscular body.
Serena shook her head. "Oh y-yeah. I-I-I'm fine." Her blush was still red and clear as day though.
"Well, if you don't mind, I'm jumping in." And with that, Ash did a straight dive into the water. A few seconds later he emerged from under the water, with some of it splashing all over. Once he came back up, a thought came across his mind.
"Was Serena just staring at me?" He thought to himself. "Was she staring at my body?"
Ash, as stated before, wasn't dense anymore, so he knew when a girl ogled at him like that and what it meant. Denise used to do it when he was married to her, but now Serena was doing it. Why Serena? Serena wasn't attracted to him, was she?
He now laid backwards in the pool and started doing the backstroke. Serena giggled at this. No reason, she just giggled. Ash then came back towards the edge of the pool and got out.
But then, Serena once again got lost looking at Ash. Now that he got out of the pool, the water that remained on his body glistened as the sun shined on it. Serena's eyes got wide again, she covered her mouth, and moaned under her breath, once again blushing a deep crimson. She didn't know why she was so attracted to his body now. She didn't have a crush on him for that specific reason, but damn… Ash looked so drop dead gorgeous now.
But Ash once again saw her staring at him and raised an eyebrow. "Serena?"
Serena snapped out of her trance once more. She mentally slapped herself for doing this once again. "Yeah, what?"
"You doing okay? You're red again."
"Yeah. I'm fine I-It's n-nothing." Ash turned around, and then Serena slapped herself in the forehead a few times for behaving like that. She had never done that before. She didn't want to think like that right now, but her desires got in the way. She thought she would have to control that better. If she wanted to prevent Ash from knowing she had a crush on him, she needed to make sure he wasn't looking when she stared at him. But since he did, she felt like her deepest, innermost secret got just a little bit clearer to him. She didn't want to admit it, but she was hoping some of that density he once had would come back, then she would be safe, but she even knew that wouldn't happen, so she felt like she was in trouble a bit.
As Ash turned around to get back in the pool, but before he jumped back in, the thought rang in his mind again. He saw his childhood friend staring at him again. Was she attracted to him? The first time could have been considered hardly anything at all, but now that he saw her doing it twice, something had to have been up, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions. He dived back in the pool as soon as the thought left his mind. Once he was in, he turned around to Serena.
"Would you like to come in?" He asked.
"Oh, no thanks. Maybe I'll just put my feet in."
Ash dived down under the water as Serena sat down at the edge of the pool and took off her shoes and socks and placed her feet in the water. Ash splashed back up, water spewing everywhere, some of it hitting Serena.
Serena giggled. "Whoa, watch it."
"Sorry about that."
Serena wiped what water that hit her off of her face. "So, where are the kids?"
"They're with my mom today. They won't be back home until late tonight." Ash responded.
"Oh that's nice. But I was kind of wanting to see them today." That was true but Serena actually didn't mind being alone with Ash. She wanted this sixteen years ago, she still did now. Maybe with Tristan and Bellamy gone for the day, she wouldn't have to worry about them asking her about being their mom someday, which they seemed to do every time she visited. She didn't want to reject the idea, but she didn't want to hear it all the time.
"So I guess it's just us today then?"
"Yep."
"You know, I could come back tomorrow, when they're here." Serena stated. "I doubt you would want to be alone with me."
Ash just smiled. "It's okay. I don't mind being alone with you." That comment made Serena's heart flutter. He had just said he didn't mind being alone with her. She always wanted to hear that come from his mouth. It was touching.
"You really don't mind being alone with me?" She softly asked.
"Why wouldn't I be? I've known you for a long time so I'd be more than happy to spend my time just with you." He explained. Serena couldn't help but blush a little. Nowhere near as red as she was a few minutes ago but bright enough to be visible from up close.
"So where's Pikachu?"
"He's up sleeping in my room. He didn't want to come out in the pool with me."
"How come?"
"Well, he's an electric type, and I'm in water. If you put two and two together, you would understand why." Ash explained.
"Ah, got it."
Ash's smile then turned into a smirk. "You know, you really shouldn't have your feet in the water like that."
"Why?"
Ash then grabbed her right foot and yanked her in. She got up above water, but she was laughing nonetheless. She knew Ash was just being playful.
"That."
Serena smiled and then threw some water at him, which caused him to retaliate. This went on for a few minutes, both of them laughing while doing so, neither wanting to stop. I guess that's what you get for being playful.
A few minutes later they got out of the pool. Ash was in his trunks so being wet was fine, but Serena was a different story, since she was fully clothed. Ash went upstairs to fetch a couple of things to dry themselves off. A couple minutes later he had come down with a couple of towels.
"Here, take one of these to dry yourself off." Ash handed one of the towels to Serena, who took and dried her face off and then her hair.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine." She replied. "Although being in these wet clothes is kind of uncomfortable."
Ash thought of something. "Hold on, I'll go grab you something."
Ash went back upstairs to grab one more thing. When he returned downstairs, he had brought a dark blue bathrobe.
"Here. Go change into this. I'll throw your clothes into the dryer."
"Okay. Thanks."
Serena went into the nearby bathroom to change. Ash had dried himself off and put his shirt back on. He thought that since they were both probably a little cold from the water he would make some tea to warm them up. A couple minutes later Serena came out of the bathroom, now changed into the bathrobe and handed her wet clothes to Ash who went back upstairs for a third time and threw her clothes into the dryer. He went back downstairs when he was done. Serena was still drying her hair off because it was still a bit wet.
"Hey, I'm sorry I pulled you in like that." Ash apologized, feeling bad for his earlier actions.
Serena raised her hand in the air. "It's no big deal Ash. I knew you weren't doing it to be rude."
"Well, while you're waiting, you can go sit in the other room if you want. I'm making some tea so it'll be ready in a few minutes."
Serena made her way into the living and sat down on the couch. She was a little bit cold, but she could manage. She didn't even know Ash could make tea. She had never once seen him cook when they travelled together when they were younger because Clemont usually did. But tea was so easy to make, even Ash couldn't screw it up.
Ash came back into the room with two mugs of tea. He handed one to Serena, who gladly took it and took a small sip.
"So when do you think the kids will be back?" Serena asked.
"They probably won't be back for another couple of hours. They like being with my mom almost as much as they like being at home with me." Ash responded.
"How is your mom doing these days. I haven't seen her in ages."
"She's doing great. She doesn't have me at home to take care of anymore but she loves seeing the kids every so often at she can kind of take care of them when they visit." Ash explained.
"Your mom must be very proud of you with what you've accomplished in so long." Serena commented.
"She is. She told me the day I became world champion was that she was proud to be my mother and that I achieved my dream. Besides my kids, my mom means everything to me. I'm thankful for everything she did while I was growing up. Even when I wasn't home on my journeys, she would always support me from home and give me some kind words whenever I contacted her from other regions. She's still the responsible and caring mother I had growing up and I'm happy that she has been there for me and my kids."
Serena smiled. "I'm glad you value your mother so much."
"How has your mother been these days?" Ash asked.
"She's still living over in Kalos, but I keep in good contact with her every so often just to let her know I'm doing okay. She did tell me she was planning on moving back here to Kanto one of these days to be closer to me." Serena explained.
"So your mom is not racing Rhyhorns anymore?"
"No. She hasn't raced in years. She's basically retired now, just tending to our Rhyhorn and the house. I'll be glad once she moves back here. I miss seeing her every day." She said as she took another sip of tea.
"Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen your mom. Not since our journey when we were younger have I seen her. I would like to know how she's doing in person."
"I can tell you this that she has been following what you've been up to since you became a Pokemon master. Although not to the extent of me but she has been keeping up with you normally." She explained.
"That warms my heart. It seems your mom respects me quite a bit." Ash commented as he took a sip of tea. "Anyway, there was something I wanted to ask you, and it's very important."
"Go ahead Ash. I'm all ears."
"I did realize something from when we were kids that I didn't see then but I do now, and I feel like I should have done something that day, and I feel bad for not capitalizing on it, but I feel like now would be a good time now that I've got the opportunity."
"What is it?"
"Just promise to hear me out, okay? I'm wanting to owe you something that I never got around to doing a long time ago, and I want to make it right."
"What?"
Ash rubbed the back of his neck and took a deep breath. Serena knew what it meant when Ash rubbed the back of his neck. It meant he was nervous, but why would he be nervous around her? She didn't want to just automatically think of the obvious so she just let him ask.
"Remember the dance party we went to in Kalos?"
"Mmhm."
"I still remember that day clearly. The moment we were about to dance but then the music stopped, I saw how upset it made you. I may have not known it then but now I can see why you were."
"So what do you want to ask me?"
Ash rubbed the back of his neck once again. "There's a ball going on next Saturday night, and I just wanted to know… If you would like to go to it with me."
"Ash, are you serious?"
"Completely. So… will you?"
Now this was the opportunity that Serena was waiting for. She was in fact devastated when she couldn't dance with him when they were younger, but now she had her chance. It wasn't exactly a date, but it was just as good.
"Oh Ash, I would love to."
Ash smiled. "All right." The two of them clinked mugs. "It's a date."
Serena stopped bringing her mug up to her lips and slowly put it back down in her lap. He said the word: "Date". Did he really mean that? She probably thought that it was just a word that came out, but she also would've loved it to be. Ash took a drink of tea then looked at her, a concerned look came across his face.
"You okay?"
Serena put her head in her hand for a couple of seconds. "Oh yeah, yeah, I'm okay." She replied then took a drink.
Ash grabbed the remote that was on the table in front of him and flicked on the tv. "We got a lot of time left until the kids get back. Feel like doing anything?"
"Nah." She responded. "Let's just sit here and relax."
Ash put the remote back down on the table and placed his hand next to him on the couch. Serena did the same thing. But right when she put her hand down, she felt something warm. She looked down next to her and saw that her hand was on top of Ash's. She quietly gasped and retracted it, blushing a faint but visible red. Ash saw her do so, but he just smiled and chuckled, putting his focus back on the tv for the time being.
Author's note: Ooh, small moment at the end there. But that's just one of many that will appear in this story, so get ready for it. I think this is the best chapter so far but I'm pretty sure my opinion is going to change as the story progresses for the next nine weeks. Nothing major has happened yet. I've got a lot more Amourshipping moments lying ahead and believe me when I say that. And also believe me when I say this, the next chapter is going to be pretty big. I've got a couple things planned for chapter seven. If you want to know what they are, or at least one of them, read the preview.
As the two of them danced, Serena realized that Ash wasn't really making a mistake. That was odd. When they were young, Ash had always been an unbalanced dancer. The guy had cinderblocks for feet it seemed like, but tonight, Ash had been flawless in his dancing. He must have improved over the years.
"Wow Ash, I've never seen you seen you dance this well. What changed?"
"Before Denise and I got married, I told her that I was a sloppy dancer, couldn't carry a move, so we took lessons every so often so I could better myself. When our wedding came around, I never once stumbled. I felt pretty good about myself for improving." Ash explained.
"Well, I'm proud of you Ash. You don't have a pair of left feet anymore." The two of them shared a laugh.
"Believe me, I even surprised myself."
Ash probably surprised everybody when they found out he could dance well. Although only her, Bonnie, and Clemont knew he couldn't dance well. But he did now and that's all that mattered.
After the current song was over, the two of them thought they would take a break for now. Ash went to the men's room while Serena went upstairs and went out on the balcony outside. She was on the second level so she had a nice view from where she was standing. The night sky was painted blue with little white crystals embezzling it, and there was a nice simple breeze that lightly blew Serena's hair. Serena had wished that she had brought her Pokemon along for this, they would enjoy this, but bringing Pokemon to the ball was forbidden so there wasn't a way she could do that.
She had been out there for five minutes and she was pretty sure that Ash was done using the men's room. Maybe he was looking for her. She didn't tell him where she was going but maybe she should have. But Ash was smart, he would look all over the place for her until he found her.
"Maybe I should go look for him and bring him back up here. Probably would be a good idea." She turned around but as soon as she did Ash had just appeared in the doorway.
"Hey, I was wondering where you went." Ash said.
"Sorry, I should have told you where I was going." She replied. He walked up to her at the railing of the balcony, looking out at the horizon. It was a nice view since there were no buildings they could see from where they were standing.
"Beautiful night out, isn't it?" Serena asked.
"Definitely." Ash responded.
"Thanks for bringing me here tonight. I'm having a great time." Serena stated.
Ash grabbed her left with his right and looked at her. "You're welcome. I'm having a great time too, especially since it's with you."
Serena faintly blushed a little red. "Yeah, I'm happy that I'm with you here too. I couldn't think of anyone else to spend this night with."
"Same here."
The two returned their gaze back to the horizon. It was silent between them for a minute. Serena then looked back at Ash. A thought came into her mind. But was it too soon? She wanted to know.
"Hey Ash?"
"Yeah?"
Serena then took her hands off the railing and took a couple steps toward Ash. She looked down before making her decision. She took a deep breath and looked back towards him. His amber orbs were hypnotizing, which made this more difficult. But now was as good as time as any, and she didn't want to waste it. She took another deep breath and inched closer to him.
Author's note: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey? What the heck is going to happen? What is Serena thinking? What is everyone thinking? What am I thinking? Frankly, I'm thinking about knocking someone out by roundhouse kicking a door. Yeah, I know, my minds messed up. So sit tight right where you are for the next chapter while I go find Chuck Norris. Until then…
TDBigJ out!
