Amour Festivel (Amourshipping Oneshots)

Soulful Shadows

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the bustling park in Vaniville Town. Six-year-old Serena, with her golden curls bouncing as she skipped along, found herself enchanted by the vibrant flowers and the laughter of children playing.

Meanwhile, a young boy with unruly black hair and a curious glint in his eyes had managed to get a bit lost amid the maze of greenery. He wandered, unaware of his surroundings, until a gentle voice caught his attention.

"Hi there! Are you lost?" Serena's blue eyes sparkled with innocence as she approached the bewildered boy.

Startled, he looked up, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "Yeah, I guess I kinda am."

Serena's face lit up with a friendly smile. "No worries! I'm Serena. What's your favourite game to play?"

The two children soon found themselves engrossed in a game of tag, the cares of the world forgotten as they laughed and played. Serena's laughter was like a melody that echoed through the park and the boy couldn't help but join in, his troubles momentarily forgotten.

They explored the park together, Serena pointed to a field of beautiful daisies. "Look! Let's make flower crowns!"

They spent a joyous afternoon crafting delicate crowns, giggling as they placed the flowers in each other's hair. The sun dipped lower, casting a warm, golden hue over the scene.

"Serena, you're a great friend," the boy declared, his eyes shining with innocence.

Serena beamed, her heart fluttering with the boy's words. "You're a great friend too!"

She and the boy found themselves lost in conversation, sharing stories and dreams as if time had slowed just for them. Unbeknownst to them, the approaching footsteps belonged to their parents, who had been searching for them.

Serena's mom, Grace, and the boy's mother observed the scene from a distance. Grace, seeing the pure joy in her daughter's eyes, exchanged a knowing glance with the other mom. The children's laughter and the vibrant energy they shared were undeniable signs of a blossoming friendship.

Serena's mom whispered, "They seem so happy together, don't they?”

The other mom smiled, "Yes, they do. I think we should let them enjoy their time. We can always pick them up a little later."

The two mothers, content in seeing the genuine happiness radiating from their children, decided to give them a bit more time in the magical embrace of the park.

The children chatted animatedly about their play, they were unaware of their parent’s decision. The sun, now casting a warm afternoon glow, painted the surroundings with hues of gold and the air was filled with the warm waves of the afternoon.

Their adventures continued as they found a small pond where Poliwags played with each other. Serena slowly approached the Poliwags with a playful twinkle and curiosity in her eyes. "Let's play with the Poliwags!"

The boy catching onto the playful spirit, joined in the playing with Poliwag. They laughed uncontrollably, creating a symphony of childish joy that echoed across the pond.

As the evening came, Serena and the boy discovered a hidden corner of the park where Illumise danced in the twilight. Mesmerised by the beautiful, glowing creatures, they tried catching a few in their hands, giggling as the gentle lights flickered between their fingers.

"Look, it's like holding a piece of starlight!" Serena exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

The boy, equally captivated, nodded in agreement. "Yeah! We should make a wish with them."
