Hey guys, Jeff here!
Before I start this chapter, I just wanted to apologise about how am I not writing as much as I have done. I mean it has been a while since there was an update to this story, since I did that one-shot last week. The main reason for this is that I can only work on these during the weekend, so that's why there is not much updates.
Hopefully you all understand my 'laziness'... :D
Also, I do apologise for this short chapter and I promise you all that the next chapter will be longer ^_^
Anyways, let's get to reading...
"Don't worry, Bonnie. I'll tell you." Serena answered back with haste. "You see, I-I'm… b-bisexual…"
As Serena said this, everyone went literally silent. They didn't really know how to respond to this, since this information has just been presented to Clemont and Bonnie quite sudden, even though Clemont already knew what Serena was talking about. They both just didn't know what to say back at Serena. Do they want to reassure her? Do they want to comfort her? Do they want to judge her? They just didn't know what to do.
During this minute or so, silence between the three friends became even tenser in Serena's point of view. She is just worried about what they were going to say and what they were going to do for that matter. She didn't want to make a bad impression to them, like they weren't going to travel with her anymore, since this was the case or anything like that. It was just for the information that they found out and that's all.
Serena sighed, filled with nervousness. "Please… d-don't judge me, okay?"
Clemont raised his eyebrow quizzically. "What do you mean we'll judge you?"
"Well, you might think that I'm weird or that kind of thing…" Serena responded, now also being filled with embarrassment.
Bonnie smiled. "We won't judge you, Serena."
Clemont smiled. "Bonnie's right, Serena. Why should we judge you? I mean, when it happens, it happens. If that is your decision, then it's a decision we can't change, can we?"
Serena paused for a minute, reflecting to what her friends had just said to her. She was really surprised that they understood what she meant and respected her decision, but then again, they were her friends. They will support her until the very end, until they have to all depart, but for now, they are all in this together.
Serena smiled. "Thank you guys. Thanks for understanding."
"No problem, Serena." Clemont and Bonnie answered simultaneously.
"But, Serena?" Clemont muttered. "How are you going to break this to Ash? Do you think he will understand?"
Serena froze upon hearing Ash's name and the query put up by Clemont. Interestingly, it was a question that Serena wanted to not have been presented to her or for herself to answer as a matter of fact, but she felt inside that she has to, especially to someone who admires her so much.
To be honest in herself, she really doesn't know what to do or how she was going to tell him in this case. Since she rejected him, she knew that Ash is probably feeling a little down, a little depressed about it. She is thinking that in his room, he was just sitting there or maybe lying in his bed just thinking, thinking most likely about what he has done and what I have done to him. She is thinking that Ash is probably blaming himself inside that room, how he has made a mistake, but what can she do now? How can she make up with him at least? At least to rebuild back their friendship once more?
Serena sat in her seat for a few seconds, now going back to reality with Clemont and Bonnie. Now, she was thinking about how she was going to respond to Clemont and Bonnie, since they were sitting in front of her thinking of an answer back, a response at least, but the problem is that Serena can't think of a response, she can't think of what to say back to them, she just doesn't want to think about what that question is going to be answered with, but she knew she got to give them some response or answer of some sort.
Serena stuttered. "W-Well… I-I'm going t-to… um… I'm~"
"You don't know what to do, eh Serena?" Bonnie teased, guessing as to how she wasn't really answering directly at them.
"Bonnie! Come on, no teasing." Clemont hissed.
"But~" Bonnie responded, well tried to respond back.
Serena smiled. "Clemont, don't worry about it. It's okay, since it was true of what Bonnie said anyway."
Clemont sighed. "Well, if we don't have any ideas, then what are we going to do?"
All three of them sat there thinking, thinking of an idea as to how Ash and Serena will make up, since they need to think of an idea anyway. They really have no clue on what to do, especially Serena who was clueless at this point. She just can't bear thinking about an idea, since it was her fault.
She accepted that it was her fault that everyone was like this at this moment in time, since she rejected Ash, the one and only person who admired her and basically loved her. She just wanted to blame her own self for this, which wasn't really called for, but when Clemont and Bonnie were then presented with Serena's secret, then they understood Serena's actions towards Ash, but that doesn't really mean that she should do something like that to Ash especially.
To be honest, what can she do now? What could she do to make everything better?
Bonnie smiled as an idea has popped into her head. "You know what Serena? You should make something for Ash!"
Clemont smiled. "That's a great idea! Serena, why don't you give it a try?"
"But what am I going to make?" Serena mumbled a question.
"Why don't you bake something for him maybe?" Bonnie suggested excitedly.
Clemont smiled gladly at her sister. "That's actually a pretty good idea, Bonnie. Since Serena is really good at baking, taking advantage of that skill would be a great idea!"
Serena raised her eyebrow quizzically. "But then again, what am I going to bake?"
Bonnie jumped excitedly. "Why don't you bake some macaroons!?"
"Oh, okay then! If you say so!" Serena answered happily. "Well, I'll be off down to the kitchen then!"
(With Clemont and Bonnie)
As Serena ran off to the kitchen with a mission, to bake Ash some macaroons, this then left Clemont and Bonnie on their own in the lobby where they were sitting this whole time. They weren't really keen to get going anyway, since they want to just leave Ash and Serena for a while anyway and really just give them personal space.
After Serena left, they thought of the different scenarios that could happen. I mean, they also did this with Ash when they also helped him as to confessing to Serena, but this time they were helping Serena now. There were only limited amount of different scenarios that could happen – one would be that Ash would gladly accept the macaroons that Serena baked and then they will make up, since he likes food and all that, or the other scenario is that he will completely reject the whole thing and then make an even bigger tension between themselves, which is not good.
Overall, Clemont and Bonnie would like everything to be all right at least. They both want the best out of their best friends and companions. They just want them to at least be friends again, even though Ash wouldn't really have Serena as part of his life, at least their friendship will still recover, at least they can travel with one another once more as friends at least.
In the back of their minds, however, there was still one question that they wanted to be answered, one specific topic about Serena's secret…
Bonnie sighed casually. "Clemont, what do you mean when you're bisexual?"
Clemont raised his eyebrow quizzically. "Why do you want to know about it, Bonnie? Is something bothering you about it?"
"Yeah, something's bothering me." Bonnie answered back with haste. "I want to know what it actually means to be bisexual."
Clemont smiled with nervousness. "Well, I think you're a bit too young to know about it, Bonnie."
"Clemont! Tell me!" Bonnie squealed out of annoyance. "If I can understand the romance of Ash, then I could probably understand 'bisexuality', right? Stop treating me like a little kid."
It was true; Clemont was treating Bonnie like a little kid. Well, he had every right to do so; he wanted Bonnie to not know about this topic. He just wanted the best out of his little sister, and that's all his reasoning. He didn't blame her for acting up like that, since he does these sorts of things all the time, but he can just let her off just this once he supposed, since this was about one of their friends anyway.
Beside him was Bonnie, who was upset and a bit irritated about her big brother. You cannot blame her though, because Clemont can be a little bit strict sometimes, maybe you can say that he is being over-protective in this case, but Clemont felt that telling the true to Bonnie is a better option than just plainly hiding the truth, as in fact you can't really hide the truth from Bonnie anyways – proven by how she knew about Ash's crush at Serena.
Clemont sighed. "Okay then, Bonnie. I guess you win."
Bonnie jumped with joy. "I knew you would, big brother! Come on then, I'm waiting."
Clemont nodded. "Okay, Bonnie. Well, how can I explain this… so, basically… if you are bisexual, then you are… attracted to both genders…"
Bonnie tilted her head a bit. "What do you mean by that, big brother?"
Clemont sighed. "Well, it means that you are attracted to both males and females."
"So, then, why did Serena reject Ash?" Bonnie asked hastily. "In some sense, shouldn't Serena have been at least felt something for Ash as well?"
Clemont nodded in agreement. "Well, I don't want to speculate here, but I guess you're right."
Bonnie smiled. "It makes sense, doesn't it big brother? I mean, if someone is attracted to both genders, surely there is a possibility that they would also be attracted to the opposite gender?"
Clemont sighed. "Well, it does make sense Bonnie, but then again, it is up to that someone to decide which gender they are attracted to. Looking at Serena's case, it looked like she's already decided with it though."
Bonnie looked down towards the ground, looking as if she was very upset and sad. "It is a shame then, especially for Ash."
Clemont smiled. "Bonnie, you never know what might happen. Maybe Serena might change herself."
Bonnie sighed. "You think so, Clemont?"
Clemont smiled. "Of course Bonnie! Let's not forget what Ash tells us sometimes."
"What is that?" Bonnie responded, cheering up a bit from Clemont's attitude.
"Don't give up 'till it's over!"
There you have it, guys! Chapter 6 is done! Hopefully you have enjoyed this chapter! :)
Wow, what can I say with this chapter! It seems that Clemont and Bonnie might be onto something there at the end, which may be part of the end of this story ;)
In addition to that, the next chapter will contain Serena baking the macaroons and hopefully everything goes smoothly, and then Ash and Serena will make up. Stick around to find out in the next chapter :)
