For Him, I'll Never Give Up

The Party

I haven't seen him in so long. I got the invitation checking my email only yesterday. I'm still sitting on my bed, thinking about how I should respond. I let Sylveon out of the Pokeball to consult with. She appears looking into my eyes as soon as she is out. She somehow knows exactly what I'm thinking about.

"Sylveon, I know I'm going. We've reconnected so many times since we parted, but it was never really alone, you know? We always had Bonnie and Clemont there with us... Do you think I even have a chance? He's met so many people on his journey, does he even remember the kiss? Does-" She stopped. Sylveon put her paw on her to make her stop rambling.

"Sylveon-Syl-Sylveon!" She said. It almost seemed that she was saying it was going to be okay. She shook her paw and smiled. Sylveon always seemed to cheer me up. I spun around on her swivel chair and went to the computer. I pushed the 'coming' button. I smiled at the thought of being at his 18th birthday party. I love him. Even-even if he doesn't return my feelings, I still love him.

*Time Skip*

I'm at the birthday party. I have a present in my hands. I see some people all around. There are bigger presents, and I squirmed. I'm nervous, the gift table was piled with gifts! He'll see mine, hopefully... Ash was talking to some girl with orange hair. She was laughing, while he was... He's smiling. Smiling wide.

"Eh kid, you Ash's girlfriend?" A voice said. I jumped and turned as red as a beat. The girl had big purple hair and hazel eyes. She was smirking. The boy beside him had green hair and a matching set of caring, green eyes.

"Don't embarrass her Iris! Don't mind her, she's just teasing you." The green boy said. The girl is Iris.

"What's your name?" I asked the boy. He chuckled and shook his head.

"Sorry! I'm Cilan! And you are...?" He prompted. Cilan, where have I heard that name... I remember, Cilan is a gym leader that Ash said he always talked about. And the girl with him, Iris.

"My name is Serena... Did you two travel with Ash!" I said excitedly. I never really met any of Ash's previous friends. But, wait a minute. Iris had asked me if I was Ash's girlfriend!

"The kid! Of course! I guess that you have as well. That longing look you gave him, it was so cute!" Iris exclaimed. Ash is coming towards us! I shook my hands to notify Iris to cut off.

"Hey, Serena! I see you found my Unova friends! Glad you could make it. Sorry, but I see Max and Bonnie fighting over something and I better break it up! I'll see you later!" Ash ran off with his words trailing behind him. Typical of him, always trying to make everyone happy at the same time.

"OoOoOoHhh yeah, you really do like him, don't you? I've never seen somebody blush that hard around him. Have you kissed him yet?" Iris asked. I muffled a scream with my hand. Ash had barely taken a few steps away from us!

"Once, when we were splitting paths," I mumbled. What did I just say! Iris smiled, eyes wide. I think I just made a big mistake.

"Really?! I bet it will happen again today!" Iris said, bouncing on her. I started laughing embarrassed, but I drifted off. That wouldn't happen. Cilan looked at me, with a concerned look on his face.

"He still hasn't gotten the hint, has he?" He predicted. I nodded, looking over at Ash. He was trying to get Bonnie and the boy, Max, to calm down. I looked at his eyes, brown like chocolate. Music came on. Just looking at him made me smile. He's amazing! Always caring for others. I can vaguely hear Cilan muttering in the background. All I can do is get lost in his wonderful eyes. Someone's calling my name.

"Serena? Serena!" Cilan yelled. I switched my attention back to them. Iris had a frustrated look on her face.

"He's so dense! I wish he would just get the message sometimes." She said. Somebody bumped into me.
