~Ash's POV~

"Ash, I have something to tell you..." Serena said as she nervously looked at me.

I slowly nodded, allowing her to continue.

"It was wrong of me to date Calem. Ash, it should've been you. I love you..."

"S-serena...I love you too!"

I turned around, to see Calem watching us. He looked pissed, but I did not care. As he was about to come at me, I used my strength and threw a bus at him. His wrecked body got crushed, kicking him out my life.

Then there was violent shaking. "Ash!"

The shaking only gotten worse, I felt hands on my shoulders, moving me back and forth.

"Ash, wake up before I kick your perviness out of you!"

I blinked once, twice, three times until I was finally able to open my eyes. In front of me was Misty, giving me one of her death glares. Behind her was Serena, standing there as she watched us. I looked around me. I was in my room. Then that meant...the entire thing was a dream?!

"It's about time you wake up." Misty let go of my shoulders, dropping me back onto my bed.

I scratched my eye. "Erg, what time is it?"

"You slept through the entire morning. It is the middle of the afternoon, Ash." Serena replied.

"Woah, I slept that long? And where the hell is Pikachu?" I searched for him. "He is usually the one who wakes me up in the morning..."

Serena revealed her arms. She was carrying Pikachu, who was fast asleep. "He's here. He looks so cute when he's sleeping, and we didn't want to wake him up."

Pikachu was sleeping for that long too? I could have sworn he always woke up really early in the mornings. Well, now it made sense why I didn't get shocked today, looked like he was asleep the entire time.

I sweat dropped. "Wait, so you decided not to wake Pikachu up just because he was...cute? But you decided to wake me up?!"

Misty shrugged. "Pikachu is different. An adorable pokemon like him is allowed to sleep. Unlike you, you have to get up because it's your turn to do the dishes today."

I pouted. "That's no fair. Why can't I be cute too..."

If only I were cute, I would still be fast asleep, enjoying that dream I was having earlier.

"Aw, come on Ash. You are cute too!" Serena giggled.

I blushed. "Uh, t-thanks..."

Misty smirked. "She's lying, she only said that to make you feel better."

I rolled my eyes. "Just get out of my room."

Misty kept a smug grin on her face as she left my room. Serena followed, bringing Pikachu along with her.

I sighed. I hoped those two knew it wasn't polite to just barge into my room without knocking. Well, not that I had a problem with Serena. I was fine with her there, but Misty was a different story. Right when they left, I did my business. Showered, brushed my teeth, got dressed. You know, the normal stuff you do in the morning. After that, that was when I left my room and headed down.

So, a little recap on what was going on. It had been a week since the day I met Calem. He would visit the dorm quite often, then there were times where Serena were to be the one to visit him at his place. Whenever I saw his face, it kind of annoyed me since I was not on such good terms with my crush's boyfriend.

Other than that, Serena and I seemed to be getting along quite well. I could say we have gotten closer over the past week, and I was glad for that.

I reached the bottom of the stairs, and made my way to the living room. All the girls were in there, doing their own things. Misty was watching some random show on the TV, Iris was taking a nap on the couch, May was painting her nails while Serena and Dawn were on their phones.

Everyone sat on the floor, because Iris took the entire couch for herself. I wonder why she couldn't just go to her room and nap there. Instead, she stole the couch forcing us sit on the cold floor.

I glanced at the clock, and it looked like Serena was right. It was almost 1 in the afternoon. Okay, maybe I overslept a little too much. I even slept through breakfast, the time of day I was always looking forward to. Well, I wasn't really hungry at the moment so it didn't really bother me.

I sat down on the floor. The girls didn't bother to look at me, they just continued to do what they were doing. But it looked like Pikachu was now awake, because he was the first to greet me.

"Pika pi!" He hopped off Serena's lap and got onto mines.

"So you finally got out of bed." Dawn said, finally noticing I was there.

"Y-yeah." I nodded.

"Good."

We kept quiet for about 10 minutes. All I was able to hear was the TV, and Iris' silent breaths as she slept.

"So anyways." Misty said as she paused the show she was watching. "I think we should go do something today."

Serena lifted her head from her phone. "Like what?"

Having caught interest in the conversation, I decided to join in. "It would be nice to go out for once. We are usually stuck here in the dorm."

"Yeah! I think we should go somewhere! Like the beach!" Dawn said.

"Or the amusement park!" Serena suggested.

Misty rubbed her chin. "Ehh, I don't know. I am not really in the mood for any outdoor places, it's a little too hot to be outside..."

All the talking seemed to have awoken Iris. She sat up and stretched as she yawned. "What's going on?" She groggily asked.

"We are trying to figure out a place to go to today." May replied.

"Oh, I see." Iris rubbed her eyes, still half asleep.

Misty thought for awhile, trying to find a good location to go to. I tried to think as well, seeing if there was anywhere in particular I wanted to go to.

Serena put a finger up. "Oh! How about Ambrette Aquarium?"

Misty's eyes lit up. "Oma, Serena you have the best mind! Ambrette Aquarium, the only place in Kalos where you can see all kinds of water types! Now that's my kind of place!" She squealed.

"Okay, it's settled then. We are going to Ambrette aquarium!" May exclaimed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"I didn't know he'd be here." I pouted.

We arrived at Ambrette Town, and were now entering the aquarium. In front of me were the girls, and also the least thing I wanted. Serena and Calem. No one told me he was coming.

"Aw, c'mon Ashy! Cheer up, it's not that bad!" Gary patted my back.

Oh yeah. And I brought Gary with me, because why not. It would be nice to have another guy to talk to here, I guess.

"I just don't want to see those two together anymore." I sighed. "I kind of regret coming here now."

"Ashy. Just pretend he ain't here. Like I said, Serena is yours dude! If you want me to push him into one of the aquariums to be mauled by a Sharpedo, then I'll be glad to do it!"

"Be my guest."

He began to make his way to Calem, actually thinking I meant what I said.

"N-no! Gary wait!" I pulled the back of his shirt, stopping him.

"What?"

"Were you actually going to do it?"

He nodded. "Um, yeah. Why wouldn't I?"

I facepalmed. "Just forget it."

"Hm? Alright then."

We all decided to stay as one big group and go through the aquarium together, rather than seperating into smaller groups.

"Psst, Ashy. This Feebas looks like you." Gary covered his mouth, trying to hold in his laugh.

I rolled my eyes. "Very funny."

Gary continued pointing out the pokemon he found the most funniest looking and saying it looked like me.

"What kids." Iris placed her hands on her hips.

Serena giggled at Iris' comment as she watched us. I noticed her and smiled. She did have a cute laugh. Though, Calem seemed to not like how I was able to make Serena giggle like that. He gave me a little glare, which I returned back.

Bitch, it wasn't my fault Serena found me a lot more entertaining than you.

Gary tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to an area farther into the aquarium. "Ashy! They are selling food there! Let's go get some!"

Misty overheard our conversation and looked in the direction he pointed to. "Oh, there is food there! For once, you were helpful, Gary!"

Gary crossed his arms. "Yeah, yeah. Your welcome."

"But we'll get food a little later. We came here to see water type pokemon, not to eat." Misty said.

Gary pouted. "Aw...but I wanted to try some fried magicarp..."

"Gary, I am pretty sure this aquarium was meant for looking at the fish, and not eating them." I sweat dropped.

He crossed his arms. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

Misty pinned Gary against the wall. "What did I hear about you eating the poor little Magicarps?!"

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that! I understand you love these pokemon, so please forgive me!" He cried. Looked like Misty's wrath was enough to shut him up.

"You better be sorry." She let go of him.

He looked over at me. The expression on his face looked like he had seen a ghost. "Remind me to stay away from Misty for now on." He said.

"Haha, alright." I laughed.

We moved to a different spot in the aquarium. This area had the more violent water type pokemon, such as Sharpedo and Basculin.

"Woah...I haven't seen a Sharpedo this close before." Serena said as she looked at the pokemon.

"Yeah, and you wouldn't want to get any closer, or it'll eat you!" Gary said from beside her.

"Yeah...I don't think so." She sweat dropped.

Two girls came up from behind me. Having heard them, I turned around.

"It's you! The Kalos Queen's boyfriend!" She said.

Oh no. Not that again, please. Why is it that whenever I go outside, I get approached by random people asking me about Serena? This was starting to get old. I looked over at Calem, who was examining the Tentacruel. Looked like he didn't hear anything these girls said, thank arceus.

"Uh, I-I'm not dating her..." I said, trying to explain what had really happened.

They completely ignored me and ran up to Serena after noticing she was there. "Oma, Serena! We are huge fans!"

I sweat dropped and watched the girls ask her a bunch of pointless questions. That was when I saw Calem take out his phone. He stared at it for awhile. I saw him think twice about answering it, but he ended up deciding to just answer it anyways. He walked to a different area at a good enough distance to take the call.

Being my curious self, I decided to follow him. Yes, I knew I should not be doing this but who cared. I knew I didn't. But still, it was kind of suspicious for him to be acting like that. It wasn't that hard to answer your phone. Unless it was someone you didn't want to talk to. That's pretty much why I was following him right now, I was curious who was the person on the phone who caused him to act like that.

I hid behind one of the pillars for him not to see me. He held the phone up to his ear and answered it.

"Hello?"

I moved a little closer to hear better.

"N-no, I'm at home." He said.

At home? What was he saying, he was here at Ambrette Aquarium. Why was he lying and saying he was home?

"I-I'm a little busy, I have work to do. So maybe you can come tommorow?" He said.

Work? Such a liar.

"Yes, I have missed you too. Come over tommorow so we can see eachother again, okay?"

Okay, now this was making me even more suspicious. He had been missing this person?

"Alright. See you tommorow, I love you."

I love you?! Who was this person, exactly? One of his parents, maybe?

He turned back around, only to see me. Crap. I completely forgot I was literally stalking him right now, and didn't move away in time.

"Ash? What the hell are you doing here?" He asked.

"Uh, n-nothing. I-I was..." I scratched my cheek, thinking of an excuse. Not being able to think of one, I decided to just ask him. "Calem? Who were you talking to?"

He seemed to have gotten caught off gaurd when I asked him that question. He hesitsted to say something, like he had to think of something to say.

"Um, i-it was my uh..." He paused for awhile. "It was my mom! Yeah, my mom."

"Your mom? Why did you hesitate like tha-"

Before I could finish he decided to ignore the next thing I was going to say and walked away. "Just be quiet, this is none of your business."

Standing there in confusion, I watched him go. The more I thought of it, the more I believed it wasn't his mom.

Who was it?
