Chapter 6

O.M.G.! Serena lied! To both of them! And I am sure you all want to beat her badly, in reality I want to beat her up too! Well enough of that, I Don't like Serena because she keeps on drooling over Ash XD but apart from that, she is really cool! I like her sylveon more actually :p well, I will surely like more reviews, I really want to know what you all think about this story, if you all feel its lame, I might discontinue, I surely won't keep up something which my readers donot enjoy!

For now, on with the fic!

...

Ash was staring at the ceiling of his room, deep in thought. He was repeatedly cursing himself for being such a fool. Before falling in love, he should have found out her personal data. Who was he kidding, he fell in love with her the moment he saw her. He sighed. He knew he had gotten himself into a nice mess and was not sure whether he would be able to deal with it or not. He got up from his bed and went to the balcony. Pulling the curtains and then opening the windows, he got a clear view of the night sky. The moon was crescent shaped, as if smiling. It reminded him of her again.

He closed the windows and came back to his bed. He knew he was not going to fall asleep soon.

..

Dawn was staring at the night sky too. Her eyes were a little red from tears and she could feel her heart crumble with every thought she had about him. She believed Ash liked her but proposing her sister? It was something she had never even thought in her wildest dreams. She closed her eyes but not before saying,"I guess they say first love always result in heart break as they know it is true."

She made her way to her bed and laid down. Due to tiredness and fatigue, she found herself drifting to sleep.

The next morning, Dawn woke up with a strong pain in her head. Making her way to the breakfast table, she sat on her usual spot. She noticed Serena was absent.

"Where is she?" She asked, the pain becoming a little beatable.

"To Celadon, she needed to look out for the hostel arrangement," Johanna said while handing her a cup of coffee.

"Are you okay Dawn? You look ill," Daniel asked, concerned.

Dawn smiled weakly at him to assure she was okay. Daniel didn't accept it, he knew she was hurting inside but why, he had no idea.

She put down the coffee cup on the table and said,"I am going to Master's house, I will have breakfast there." Johanna was about to interrupt but before she could say anything, Dawn had left. Daniel was too dumbstruck to say anything.

..

"This is where the Ketchum's live?" Serena asked the watchman. He nodded.

"Tell Ash Serena wants to meet him!" She ordered.

"Sorry mam, I cannot. No one informed me that you were coming."

She groaned at his answer. She quickly called Ash and explained him the situation. Although he wanted to ignore her, he thought it would be extremely rude to treat a visitor like that.

So here she was now, in the drawing room of the Ketchum family waiting for him to arrive.

Gary noticed her sitting on the sofa and decided to give her some company.

"Hey miss,need help?" He said while smirking.

Ignoring his arrogant smirk, she replied,"Waiting for Ash."

Gary quickly recognized her as one of the girls of

the photo Ash had shown him. His smirk widened in recognising her.

"So you're the girl my brother likes?"

This totally caught her off guard. She wanted to nod but realised he was referring to Dawn. She mentally praised herself for ruining their chance. Smiling she said,"Ask him, how will I know?"

Ash hastily came down from the stairs and put on his shoes. Serena and Gary looked at him with surprised eyes. Before leaving, Ash said,"Gary, tell Mom that there is a emergency. I will be late. Bye." Without waiting for any answers, he left.

"That boy sure is something," May said, coming down from the stairs. She was wearing a black skinny jeans with purple full sleeved V-necked top. She was never fond of dressing up, she mostly liked to wear those dresses which provided a sense of comfort.

Gary sat on the couch and picked up the newspaper, then all of a sudden, becoming aware of presence of Serena added," Take a seat Serena."

Serena sat on the chair opposite him. The drawing room was quite beautiful, it had many photographs, some with kids, some wedding pictures, some just for fun pictures.

"So, Ash met you at Sinnoh?" Ma asked, starting a conversation.

"Yeah," Serena happily replied.

"Your sister is quite beautiful too," Gary added, smirking.

"Aaha! Busted Mister, Ash told you have a girlfriend!" She cheered quite loudly.

Gary sunk in his seat and looked away. May barely managed to hold back a laugh.

"Ash already told you about our family I see," Drew said, coming down from the stairs. He made his way to the kitchen and picked up an apple from the basket. He stopped to see May standing near the fridge, looking for milk perhaps. For a moment, he was captivated by her beauty, so natural, yet so pretty. But before she could notice, he walked away.

"I guess, I should leave. I came to visit Ash afterall."

"Stay, we don't mind," Drew added,taking a seat beside Gary while taking a bite out if his apple. May sat next to Serena, offering her a glass of lemonade.

"Thanks," Serena smiled while taking the glass.

"I should leave, I don't want to be trouble," she said rising up, after finishing her glass of juice.

This time, not much requests came. After wishing her a safe journey, the group went back to its normal routine. Gary couldn't sigh but say,"That girl is kind of odd."

"Why do you think so?" Drew asked.

"Can't help but feel like that," Gary commented, folding the newspaper and then getting up.

"I totally agree," Serena added. Drew just nodded in response.

Serena had hardly come out of the house when she met Delia watering the flowers. She slowly made her way to her and commented,"These plants look beautiful."

Delia, suddenly aware if the presence, hastily turned around. Not recognizing her, sweetly asked,"And you are?"

"Serena, and I guess you are somehow related to Ash," she said, using her luck.

"He is my son," Delia added, returning back to watering her flowers. Serena smiled and interjected,"I get it, he got his stunning looks from you!"

Although Delia blushed in embarrassment, she couldn't help but admire the girl in front of her. The girl spoke so fondly about Ash, as if worshipping him for what he was. She was sure his son would never be able to find a love life on his own and her motherly instinct made her believe the girl in front of her eyes will somehow make her son more obvious to the topic he avoided, the topic of love.

..

"Dawn dear, have some breakfast," Harrison requested.

"No Sir, I have had breakfast back at home," she lied while making her way to her usual seat. She sat down and took out her notebook.

Harrison sat near her and patted her. He knew she was lying but didn't want to pursue the subject. He said that if she was not hungry, then they better start their lesson.

..

Serena had chatted with Delia for almost an hour. They discussed everything, from Ash's habit of waking up late to his choice of food to how he was fatherless. Delia wanted to know more about her but she said she had to leave but promised would visit her soon. Delia couldnot help but feel happy that his boy had actually picked a girl for him. It was not everyday that a girl came to visit him.

...

I know there was not much in this chapter, but I promise, Ash and Dawn will meet in the next chapter! ( If, readers like it then I will continue this story! I already said it before XD)
