A Halloween Special:
The Scares and Frights Of Halloween Night... And... LOVE!?
👻
💓 Serena's P.O.V 💓
"This way!" Bonnie exclaimed happily, rushing towards a crowded area.
"B-Bonnie! Wait up!" I yelled, not wanting to follow.
Just a few minutes earlier, Ash asked me to check the activities for the Gourgeist Festival after we left the castle where Team Rocket tried to capture Pikachu again, and Pumpkaboo evolved into Gourgeist. (They obviously failed in capturing Pikachu again too by the way.)
Once I checked the activities, I read them aloud, which was a terrible mistake. Once I read, 'A Haunted House' from the list, Bonnie immediately thought it was a great idea and got Ash to agree, but certainly failed in getting Clemont to come. Of course, I didn't want to go too, but Ash eventually convinced me to come along with his "reassuring" smiles and "convincing" talks he always gave that always won me over. Why did I have to agree so easily? I hate haunted houses. Wait, let me rephrase that. I absolutely despise them. I don't like anything scary for that matter, and now I have to head into this giant house that had jump scares scattered around every turn.
I continued to follow Bonnie until my eyes met with a building that was decorated in the scariest way possible... Well, at least that's the way I saw it. I don't know how a little girl like Bonnie would love these kinds of things.
Ash ran past me and yelled, "Come on, Serena!"
I sighed and ran after them, my mind telling me to turn back around and just head back to the Pokèmon Center where Clemont would be waiting for us.
Once I got in line, I saw how large the building was and all the special effects that were giving the building an ominous feeling.
"This is going to be so fun!" Bonnie exclaimed, looking at the entrance of the haunted house with stars in her eyes.
But right after she said that, a shrilled scream could be heard coming from inside the house, sending a shiver of trepidation down my spine.
"N-no. I don't think I can do this. I'll meet you guys back at the exit." I said, about to walk of the line, but that was when Ash grabbed my wrist and said, "Oh, come on Serena. I know it'll be fun. Just give it a try, you might like it." He smiled one of his smiled that seeming to put me in a trance.
"Y-yeah. I guess you're right." I smiled back and stood back in line.
Darn it. I did it again. I can't believe I fell for his stupid, but cute, adorable, heartwarming, handsome, charming, captivating, and endearing toothed smile. Again.
I mentally face palmed myself as the line moved up. That was my one opportunity to get out of this mess.
We eventually reached our turn and we entered the haunted house, my fears starting to creep up my arms and leave goosebumps.
I heard another scream in front of me and I screamed in reaction, Bonnie and Ash turning over to me in confusion since we haven't even made it into the house yet.
"Uh... Let's go!" I said, walking into the haunted house and into the darkness, abashed.
But then I realized it was getting darker and I couldn't see anything in front of me.
I heard another sound from behind me and I quickly turned around.
"Ash? Bonnie?" I asked, but there was no response.
"Serena, is that you?" A familiar voice asked that I could recognize from anywhere.
"Ash?" I asked again and looked around me, even though all I could see was the dark.
I took a couple dubious steps forward until I felt my head bump into something, and I jolted back, holding my forehead.
"Ow." I heard Ash mumble in front of me.
"Ash? Oh, I'm so sorry!" I hastily shouted, my cheeks turning red.
My eyes soon adjusted to the dim lighting, and I could see Ash holding his forehead as well.
"Nah, it's alright." He laughed, smiling.
I sighed and smiled back, bringing silence in between us.
But then I heard something from the side of me, so I turned around, and that's when I felt my heart stop. There was a mechanical Haunter that glowed purple and jolted foward, coming at me just close enough that it could probably touch my face.
"AH!" I screamed and was about to run, when I tripped over my own foot and I fell backwards, but I didn't fall over on the floor, I fell down on Ash instead, almost toppling him over, but luckily Ash kept his balance... Great job Serena. You would totally live in a horror movie... not.
The Haunter started to pull back from the wall in a laughing manner, it's floating hands waving by his face as the light dimmed again, and the room went back to the color of black.
"Are you alright?" I heard Ash ask behind me.
"Oh, y-yeah. I'm fine." I murmured, managing a nervous smiled and stood up, my cheeks warm. "Where's Bonnie?"
"I thought she was with you." Ash blinked.
"What?" I felt my heart stop. "Don't tell me we lost her."
"She can handle herself in a haunted house." Ash sweat dropped.
"Still! We can't just let her roam around! She can get lost for all we know!"
"Okay, okay. Let's try to find her." Ash sweat dropped.
I sighed as I realized he didn't believe me, and he thought she could find her way out of this place alone
"Bonnie!" I yelled, starting to walk down the haunted house again and try to avoid the jump scare I got earlier... That was embarrassing.
But right after I thought that, another jump scare appeared at one of the turns. It was a Cofagrigus. It jolted up from the darkness again, and I could of sworn I jumped five feet in the air.
Ash instead had the freeze reaction, where he stood there as he got shiver down his spine and yelled out, his Pikachu doing the same on his shoulder.
The mechanical Cofagrigus then hid back into the shadows, the room turning back to its normal pitch black color. I went to go hide behind Ash, not wanting to go any further in this stupid haunted house, and I grabbed his arm.
"L-let's just find Bonnie and get this over with." Ash said, trying to sound as confident as he could, but failed.
"Yeah." I nodded.
Ash continued to walk forward and that's when I noticed that I was still holding onto his arm, my face turning pink. Should I let go? Would it make things awkward if I did though?
I just shrugged it off and continued to hold onto his arm as we made it down the dark room of the haunted house.
We past by a few more jump scares, and I continued to hug Ash's arm every time we past one, feeling safer as I did. But that also meant that my face would heat up again after each one of the jump scares we past by.
"Look, it's the exit!" Ash exclaimed and dragged me out of the house, forgetting about finding Bonnie and jumped out into fresh air.
"What took you guys so long!?" Bonnie asked, laughing under her breath.
Wait... Bonnie?
I looked over in front of me to find Bonnie there with her arms crossed.
"I've been waiting out here for about five minutes now." She muttered.
"Sorry, Bonnie." Ash sweat dropped, still trying to catch his breath from the jump scares.
Bonnie looked up at us, her eyes soon eyeing my arm wrapped around Ash's.
I felt my heat jolt. My face grew warm as I saw her notice this, and I released my grip on his arm, putting my hand back next to me... I was short of sad that I had to let go of his arm though.
I saw Bonnie roll her eyes, and she pouted, "That haunted house was a rip off. I wanted a good scream too."
"What!?" Me and Ash both screamed in sync, exasperated.
"Pika!" Pikachu added.
"Yeah, let's go back to Clemont. He's probably waiting for us." Bonnie said as if it would placate us, a small smirk set on her face as she walked away from the exit and back towards the crowds of the festival.
Me and Ash both sighed and followed her, tired and just wanting to head back to the Pokèmon Center and go to sleep.
We eventually made our way back to the center, and we found Clemont waiting there, tinkering with one of his inventions like always.
"So you guys made it out alive?" Clemont asked, almost jokingly.
"Barely." I mumbled.
"It wasn't scary at all!" Bonnie pouted.
"That's expected from you." Clemont sweat dropped.
"No, like really, it was so bad that it was laughable!" Bonny yelled, flailing her arms next to her.
"I would like to conclude that it was scary." I muttered.
"Don't worry, Serena. I don't believe Bonnie in saying that it wasn't. I know her. She doesn't exactly get scared by that kind of stuff." Clemont sighed.
"I guess the haunted house was pretty fun though." I said, trying to give a supporting side to the haunted house.
"First off, it was not scary. Second, just admit that you liked the haunted house just because you were holding Ash's arm the whole time." Bonnie smirked.
I felt my face grow ruby red as my cheeks seared. Embarrassment rushed my heart and made it beat ten times faster.
"N-no I didn't!" I denied, burying my face in my short cut hair, mortified.
"Whatever you say." Bonnie swatted the air next to her with her hand and sighed. "You two are hopeless."
"What do you mean by that?" Ash raised his eyebrow, complete clueless on the conversation we were having.
"Ugh." Bonnie sighed and looked back up at us. "Maybe you guys should go back in the haunted house."
"Eh- NO!" We both screamed, neither of us wanting to go back.
"You sure? You two might end up accidentally kissing if you do."
I felt my body tense as my face grew warmer than a furnace and scorched my cheeks, my whole face turning scarlet.
"W-wait, what?" Ash asked aloud, slight panic in his voice.
"Yeah." Bonnie responded blithely.
"Bonnie!" Clemont scolded, getting up from his seat and walking over towards his little sister.
"What? We all wanted that to happen, didn't we?"
I didn't think my cheeks could get any warmer, but they did. Why was this happening to me?
"That's enough, Bonnie! You're embarrassing them!"
"Don't tell me you don't ship it, brother." Bonnie said, puffing out her cheeks.
"Wha- I never said anything about it! I'm telling you to stop embarrassing them!"
"So you do ship it then!" Bonnie beamed.
I couldn't take this any longer.
"I- I got to go practice for my showcase!" I blurted out and rushed out of the Pokèmon Center, a huge sense of relief rushing over me once I left the building, and I could finally breath again.
I wanted to bang my head against a table. I can't believe Bonnie just completely yelled out something like that! I should of never went in that stupid haunted house! It was scary as is, and now I'll have this day traumatizing me for the rest of my life!
I exhaled and fixed my posture. I guess I might as well practice for my next showcase like I said.
•~•~• 🎃💓🎃 •~•~•
I looked over towards Braixen, who landed on her feet and looked up at me cheerfully, knowing that she successfully did her part.
"Nice work, Braixen. Now-"
"Hey, Serena." I heard Ash call behind me and I turned around to see him standing by the entrance of the Pokèmon Center.
"Just thought that you might want to come eat. Clemont just finished setting up dinner." He grinned.
"Oh, okay! I'll be right there!" I yelled over to him and turned back over towards Braixen and Pancham. "We'll continue practicing later."
I took out their pokè balls from my pocket and returned them, turning back around towards the Pokèmon Center, and I walked over towards the entrance. I entered the Pokèmon Center and saw everyone sitting down at a booth at the corner of my eye. Ash was already digging in and stuffing his face with anything available on his plate.
I laughed lightly and walked over to the booth, silently taking a seat next to Ash and began to eat.
It was silent for about two minutes, but then I put the fork into my mouth when Bonnie absurdly asked, "So Ash, Serena, when are you guys going to kiss?"
I felt the food I was chewing clog my throat.
I began to cough, Ash doing the same next to me as Clemont and Bonnie watched us choke. Clemont actually looked concerned and was panicking while Bonnie just wore a smug expression plastered onto her face. Why was she mentioning things like this all of a sudden? And while we were eating too? It's almost promising that Ash will choke on his food, and now here I am, choking with him.
I was eventually able to swallow my food and able to breath, my heart beating a thousand miles per hour. I almost died, of course my heart would be trying to give me a heart attack, but what Bonnie mentioned just made it worse. What she said didn't even have to do with whatever was happening. It didn't even make sense!
I heard Ash gasp for air once he finally swallowed his food for well, hitting his chest repeatedly for the food to go down. Once he could finally relax, he sighed in relief and slouched down in his seat.
"BONNIE!" Clemont chided.
"What? I couldn't help myself. I just really needed to ask. It was bothering me." Bonnie said nonchalantly.
I continued to sit there flustered. I didn't know what to say or think. What was I supposed to think?
"That's it!" Clemont yelled, his Aipom arm coming out from his backpack and grabbing Bonnie by the collar. "You're going to bed early!"
"What!? Why!?"
Clemont didn't respond and hurriedly walked away from the booth, his mechanical Aipom arm dragging Bonnie along with him.
"This isn't fair!" Bonnie whined, struggling to get out the Aipom arm's grip.
Pikachu looked up from the pokèmon food in his bowl, a bottle of ketchup in hand and looked over at Bonnie and Clemont, it's ears perking up lightly and it jumped onto its four laws, placing the ketchup bottle into its mouth. The electric mouse pokèmon then ran after the two siblings, leaving me and Ash alone at the table.
Bonnie continued to yell and complain until Clemont got far enough that we could no longer hear her, my posture complete frozen. I didn't want to move. Why? Ash was sitting next to me, and Bonnie just asked something that he could or could not be oblivious about!
Another minute passed by in utter silence, neither me, or Ash decided to talk or continue eating.
The clatter of Ash's fork hitting his plate severed the awkward silence in-between us, my palms becoming sweaty.
"I think we should- probably head to bed now." He suggested, my eyes still wondering away from him.
"Y-yeah. We probably should." I croaked.
We both sat up and silently walked over to the room that we rented out at the Pokèmon Center.
We entered the room to find Bonnie sitting criss-cross-applesauce on her bed, her cheeks puffed out to show how upset she was. Pikachu sat down on the bed next to her, trying to cheer her up. Clemont probably had a stern talk with her... I would of, and I probably will.
"Hey, Ash, Serena. Sorry about Bonnie." Clemont said, looking over at his sister with an obvious, sympathetic smile, but then he gave Bonnie a look and he nudged her with his elbow.
Bonnie sighed and said, "I'm sorry."
"Hey, there's no need to be sorry." Ash sweat dropped.
"So you admit that you have feelings for Serena!?" Bonnie yelled excitedly, jumping up to her knees, her eyes almost twinkling with delight.
I felt my face grow warm. Why did she keep saying these things!?
"Uh-" Ash stood there not able to say anything. "We're just friends... Right Serena?" Ash asked, turning around towards me with a smile.
I could of swore I heard my heart crack and shatter into a million pieces. I looked back over at Ash, and it felt as if time froze. My heart even seemed to stop along with the rest of time. There he was. Smiling right at me with his smile that I always adored and couldn't help but smile back at... But now- but now I couldn't stand to look at it. I felt my heart take a bullet. My eyes quivered. Goosebumps ran up my arm in disarray, my throat beginning to clog in what seemed to be an attempt to try to stop me from breathing. I realized right then that he didn't have the feelings I did for him. He would never look at me the way I did him. He's everything to me... I'm nothing to him.
"Y-yeah... Right." I said, faking a smile that sent another rippling wave of pain to my heart. I could of sworn I heard the sword being taken out from its sheath. I could feel the sword being pointing at my heart before I said the sentence, as if it was waiting for my last words to be said. And once I did, I died inside. You would think I would of died on the outside in an instant from such pain, but instead, I was still standing, the pain continuing to grow, disillusioned.
"See, Bonnie." Clemont stated, his voice still not quite stable. "Now stop messing with them. All you're doing is making things harder."
"I know they're lying!" Bonnie pouted. "They just don't want to admit their feelings to each other!"
"Ughhh." Clemont exclaimed in rage, probably ready to slap someone... That would be interesting to see. I've never seen Clemont do that before.
"I think we should get some sleep. It's been a long day." Ash mentioned, stretching as he headed over towards his bed.
"Yeah." Clemont sighed. "I agree."
I frowned and walked over towards the bed that was supposedly mine, directly in front of Ash's, so the room would be symmetrical.
I took my backpack and placed it next to the side of my bed, a frown still pasted onto my face.
Clemont walked over towards the bathroom and asked, "I'm going to go change first, is that alright with you guys?"
"Sure, I don't mind." Ash replied, smiling.
How could he smile?... Well, I guess he wasn't the one who was hurting.
"Thanks." Clemont grinned and headed into the bathroom.
I continued to wear that same frown, and I turned around, but then I felt my shoulder ram into something, stopping my from going any further.
I looked over to what I bumped into, and I saw Ash, my shoulder ramming into his shoulder blade.
"Oh, Ash, I'm so sorry!" I quickly blurted out, turning over to face him, concerned.
"It's alright." Ash smiled, turning around and changing his gaze towards me. "It's nothing compared to when you get electrocuted by Pikachu."
I couldn't help but let my lips curve into a small smile. I let out a small giggle, placing my hand in front of my mouth. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Oh, I'm more than right." Ash rolled his eyes and looked over at Pikachu who was sitting on his bed, sweat dropping, the pokèmon eavesdropped on the conversation.
My smile soon faded as my thoughts went back to thinking that Ash didn't like me back, and my heart dropped. Why was I thinking about it? Couldn't it just leave my thoughts for a split second, so I could be happy for at least a moment?
Ash looked back over at me still smiling, but then it soon evaporated, and it was replaced with a frown.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"What?" I asked back, confused.
"You're frowning, and you haven't been acting your normal self lately. Is there anything wrong?"
"I-" I tried, but I stopped myself from going any farther.
What was I supposed to say? 'Oh, yeah. I just have this huge crush on you, and I'm upset that you don't like me back?' Yeah. Didn't think so.
"BOO!" Someone discretely yelled from behind me, stinging my ears as my heart jolted in the sudden scare.
I didn't have time to think, and my feet instinctively gave out, getting ready to run until they realized there was no where to run to, and I fell on top of Ash, my hands pressing again his chest. He was about to fall backwards, but he caught his balance just like he did back in the haunted house, and he was able to stand back up before falling.
When he finally, fully caught his balance, he looked down at me, my hands in small fists still placed on his chest as I still leaning on him.
I felt my cheeks heat up as if charcoal was thrown onto my heart, and my cheeks changed to the color of scarlet. I looked back up at him, my eyes meeting his soft, caramel eyes. My cheeks got warmer as my heart gave out a wave, leading my whole body to start to heat up in reaction to it. My body tensed as I realized Ash was staring into my eyes as well, neither of us saying anything to each other as our faces were only inches apart.
I heard a loud squeal to the side of me that snapped me out of my trance, and I pulled away from Ash, my cheeks only becoming warmer once I realized what just happened.
Ash continued to stand there frozen though, not saying a word.
I heard another squeal from besides me, and I looked over my shoulder to see Bonnie jumping up and down behind me, continuing to squeal like a Spheal.
I felt Butterfree enter my stomach and my face start to burn. You have to be kidding me.
"Bonnie!" I yelled in embarrassment.
"YOU TWO WERE SO CLOSE TO KISSING!" Bonnie shouted, as if she wanted to tell the whole world and screamed, "THAT WAS AMAZING!"
"What was?" I heard Clemont ask, coming out of the bathroom in his nightwear.
"Eh- I'm going to go change!" I quickly yelled out, grabbing my bag, and I rushed into the bathroom, locking the door behind me.
Once I was finally out of that damn room, I sighed and leaned against the door. I can't believe Bonnie snuck up behind me and scared me like that! And then I had to fall onto Ash because of it!
My stomach continued to churn, my cheeks red in embarrassment.
I threw my head into the palms of my hands and continued to look back on what happened only seconds earlier.
But then I found myself smiling. Why was I smiling? I probably just had the most embarrassing moment I've had in my life, and now I'm smiling?
I shook my head back and forth, and I snapped out of my trance, accepting that it was just a defense mechanism to try stop me from becoming more embarrassed than I already was. I decided to just forget about it and just head to bed.
•~•~• 👻💘👻 •~•~•
After I changed, I came back out of the bathroom into a quiet room... Like quiet, quiet.
Bonnie was sitting down on her bed, petting Dedenne... She still wore a her smirk though, laughing under her breath probably. Clemont was sitting down on his bed, looking through his tool box, probably working on some kind of new invention, and then there was Ash who was looking over at me.
I looked back at him, and he jumped up from the bed, grabbing his backpack, and he headed into the bathroom without saying a word.
I didn't consider anything from it, and I walked back over towards my bed. I just decided to go to sleep, so I got into bed, turning off the lamp next to me, and I closed my eyes, but I found myself not able to fall asleep. I don't blame myself either though, my heart was still beating a thousand miles per hour because of what happened earlier... What if we did kiss? Oh, shut up, Serena! Stop going into your daydreams, and just fall asleep!
I heard Ash come one out the bathroom and Bonnie jump out off of bed and go into the bathroom after him.
A few more minutes passed by and Bonnie came out of the bathroom. I still couldn't fall asleep.
"Well, goodnight guys." Clemont said, turning off the lamp next to his bed.
"Night." Bonnie replied and turned off the lamp next to her as well.
"Goodnight." I mumbled.
Ash didn't reply to any of us, but he turned off his lamp. He's never done that before, but I shrugged it off. He was probably tired, knowing him.
About another ten minutes passed by in pure silence, and my eyelids continued to be stubborn.
But that was when I heard Ash get up from his bed.
I sat up and saw him grab his hat that was sitting next to Pikachu and his collared jacket. He then started to walk towards the door.
"Ash?" I said quietly, trying not to scare him, but failed as I saw him freeze in a frightened posture.
Ash turned around and saw me, sighing in relief and asked, "Serena? Why are you up?"
"I can't fall asleep." I muttered, thinking back to me falling on top of him again, my cheeks changing to the color of a ruby.
"Same." Ash sighed. "I was- just about to go take a walk."
"Do you mind if I come with?" I asked hesitantly, looking down at my lap. "I mean- I don't want to go if you don't want me to."
"Oh... Uh- sure."
"Are you sure? I mean..." I looked back down at my lap and began to mess with my hands, trying to figure out what to say.
"Of course I'm sure." He grinned. "I would never not want you to come along."
I blushed. It wasn't that big of a deal, I guess, but it overthrew me.
"Thanks." I murmured and got out of bed.
Ash then walked out of the room with me following. We both headed out of the Pokèmon Center and started to walk down a sidewalk that was next to the center, the moon casting a dim light onto the rest of the city.
It was silent for awhile until I decided to break the silence and ask, "Are you ready for your next gym battle?"
"Oh, I'm more than ready." Ash said, turning over towards me and lowering his head until his chin hovered over his collarbone with his eyes stern and full of determination. "I'm psyched!"
"I bet you are." I laughed.
"So are you ready for your next showcase?"
"I think so." I sweat dropped.
"I know you are." Ash beamed. "You'll win too! I'm positive."
"Thanks." I blushed lightly. "I know you'll win your gym battle too, knowing you."
"Thanks..." He said back, giving one of his smiles that I loved. "You know... What Bonnie said back there... About- you know." He said, scratching the back of his head and continuing to tangle his raven black hair.
I felt my face grow warm. "About- us?" I asked, my heartbeat starting to quicken.
"Y-yeah. That." Ash said, looking forward and trying to avoid eye contact. "But also about what I said about us just being friends?"
I felt my heart drop to my stomach.
"Yeah..."
"Well you seemed to be attacked by that... And I was wondering why."
"Well... Would it be weird to say that..." I trailed off, realizing what I was about to say.
"W-weird to say what?"
"Is it weird that to say that I feel different about what you said?" I asked quickly, my mind not knowing what to do as the sentence ran out of my mouth and out into the air, my actions starting to become quick and not thought through.
"W-what d-do you mean?" He stuttered, making me nervous.
He obviously didn't like me back, so why am I telling him this?
"N-never mind." I muttered and turned around from where we were heading and towards the Pokemon Center, my heart on the bridge of trying to give me a heart attack.
"Wait." Ash said, grabbing my wrist, stopping me from taking another step forward.
I didn't turn around and looked down at the sidewalk beneath me, not wanting to look back at him. Because if I did, I knew I would end up crying, looking at someone I loved and meant everything to me, but he would never feel the same for me.
"W-what you're saying... Is that you-"
Remember what I said? Yeah, I lied. It turns out I'll cry whether I'm looking at him or not. All I need apparently is his voice.
I gritted my teeth as a tear fell down my cheek and fell down onto the sidewalk, silence seeming to make gravity stronger and try to push me down. My heart ached. I should of never said anything. I shouldn't of even came with him. This was stupid. So stupid.
"Serena," I heard him say, his grip around my wrist softening. "Do you really feel that way for me?"
I felt my body want to give out. I wanted to fall and cry for eternity for some reason. Immediate regret washed over my heart.
I wanted to say 'yes,' but at the same time, I wanted to yell, 'no.' I didn't know what to do, so I ran. Ash's grip on my hand became loose as I pulled away and ran back over towards the Pokemon Center.
"Serena, wait!" I heard Ash yelled behind me, but from then on, I blocked out everything around me.
Well... Now he knows. It probably ruined our friendship. Why don't I just run away all together?
Everything around me fell apart, as if I was trapped in some kind of dream. No, nightmare. I wanted to just lock myself in a room and cry. Why did I tell him? Why did I even decide to even travel with him? It was so stupid of me! I knew I had to tell him eventually, but now? Now? It was all too soon for me. I just had to go and kill our friendship just like that. When I could of just waited longer. When I could of saved our friendship by not saying anything. And now I probably ruined the rest of my life. I won't be able to travel with him with the weight in my shoulders, knowing that he knew about how I felt about him, and knowing that he didn't have the same feelings back.
"Serena!" I finally heard Ash's voice yell, breaking me from my traumatized state.
I felt his hand grab mine, stopping me from going any further like last time.
"What, Ash?" I asked, impatiently. "I understand, alright? I'll just leave, okay?"
"Leave? What do you mean?"
"You don't understand!" I yelled, turning around to face him as tears streamed down my face. "You don't understand the way I feel! I don't need to travel with you anymore...I can't. You don't have feelings back, and I understand, so just leave me alone." I whimpered, looking down at my feet, barely even able to talk without yelling or making a simple waver in my voice. My heart was in pain, I don't think that I could of not yelled. It was injured to the greatest extent. It's never been attacked this much. But now that I have, it's overwhelmed me so much that the pain's radiating out, my body no longer able to take it.
"Serena, that's not it at all." Ash frowned.
"Then what is it?" I continued to cry, looking away from him.
Before any of us said anything, I heard a screech behind me and I looked to the side of me to find a Zubat hovering over me. Being scaredy Meowth I am, I jumped up from the seeing the Zubat's features, and I ended up running into Ash... AGAIN.
But this time Ash didn't catch his balance and he fell down, me falling on top of him.
As we laid there, more Zubat's appeared out of the trees around us and flew over our heads, their wings breaks grazing us as they screeched.
I screamed, and I felt Ash wrap his arms around me, my cheeks turning pink.
The hoard of Zubat soon began to fade and the sky became visible again, leaving the street silent.
I felt Ash's hands leave my waist, and he stood up, putting his hand out in front of him for me to take.
I blushed again, and I took his hand.
He pulled me back up, and I ended up standing in front of him, our faces almost touching. My cheeks began to get warmer as I realized he didn't back away. I saw him staring back at me with a frown. But then my heart seemed to skip a beat as it collapsed down to my stomach, sending a wave throughout my body that I couldn't quite point out.
I watched as Ash leaned in towards me, his eyelids slowly sinking as his lips barely touching mine until I felt his press against my own, my eyes widening in astonishment. My stomach began to churn, everything around me beginning to become silent. But soon, my stomach stopped turning and my heartbeat began to slow down. My whole body relaxed. I closed my eyes, and I kissed back.
Time continued to slow down around me. I don't even think my mind fully knew what was going on. I eventually broke the kiss first as silence fell in between me and Ash. I opened my eyes and I saw that Ash still had his eyes closed. My felt my cheeks turn into the color of a rose red. I was the one who broke the kiss. I never expected that.
Ash's caramel eyes fluttered open, and he looked back over at me, only leading my cheeks to become warmer, and my stomach became full of Butterfree.
Neither of us said anything and just continued to stay quiet. I eventually decided to break out of the trance I was in, and I looked away, tucking my hair behind my ear and made sure that I couldn't make eye contact with him. I didn't dare say anything, knowing that if I started to say anything, I would end up making a fool of myself. My stomach continued to mess with me though, embarrassment rushing my heart and making my cheeks turn bright red. I just kissed Ash Ketchum- wait, no, he kissed me. HE did. I looked back up at him and I saw his cheeks were bright red just like mine, probably only making my cheeks grow warmer.
And that's how my dreams of Ash and me being together faded away... 'Why' you may ask? Because they faded into reality. My first dream came true. And it was all thanks to the scares Halloween gave sad to say. But all the same, it came true. It came true.
I know what you guys are asking. "WHY IN THE WORLD DID ASH ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOME UNDENSIFIED?" Hey? We can have our dreams right? 😂 Where Ash isn't as dense as a log for one day?... Or a night? 😆 I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, IM SORRY. I hate it too. It bothers me, but what's LATE Halloween One Shot Special without a freaking canon ending? Also, sorry for the sucky ending. XP
