A New Adventure

Preparations

Serena's POV

"Serena,"

"Serena!"

"C'mon Serena it's time to go!"

I wake up to find a pair of bright blue eyes staring down at me. I jump and sit straight up in surprise, almost bumping my head into Bonnie's. I rub my eyes and yawn.

"Time for what?" I ask absentmindedly. Bonnie lets out an exasperated sigh.

"To go shopping of course! We have to get you ready for the dance tomorrow night!" She says excitedly. I roll over and snuggle back under the covers. I'm not ready for a shopping trip just yet.

"Just imagine Ash's face when he sees you all dressed up and pretty," Bonnie says, squealing. I look at her in surprise.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing," she replies innocently. I roll my eyes and lay back down, that girl is smarter than she lets on.

"C'mon Serena get up, we have stuff to do!" I pretend to be sleeping. Bonnie does what any little sister would and shoves me off the bed. I give her a well meaning glare then stand up.

"Alright alright, I'll go get dressed," I sigh, grabbing my clothes and my purse.

"Yay! I will go tell Miette that you are almost ready to go," Bonnie says, skipping down the hall.

Wait. Did she just say Miette?! I trip over my own feet in surprise, falling flat on the ground. I hear the sound of footsteps approaching.

"My goodness Serena, are you alright?!" A voice says, sounding concerned.

"Yeah I'm alri- hey!" I begin, then stop, realizing who the voice belongs to.

"Miss me?" Miette asks, grinning.

"Not particularly," I grumble. Miette laughs and helps me up.

"So how was your time alone with Ash?" A faint blush brushes my cheeks.

"Fine..." I reply.

"So did you guys kiss?" Miette asks. I almost trip again.

"No!!" I shout, turning bright red.

"Oh... what a shame... maybe next time," Miette replies smirking. I inwardly groan. How am I supposed to put up with this for an entire day?! Bonnie comes strolling down the hallway.

"Serena, why aren't you dressed yet?!" She exclaims.

"I got a little... sidetracked," I reply, glaring at Miette.

"Well you had better hurry Serena, we have a lot to get done," Bonnie says in a business-like tone. I giggle at her professionalism and nod, heading into the bathroom to get ready. Once we are all ready to go we all peek in on the boys in the living room, who are playing video games.

"What do you think you are doing?!" Bonnie screeches. Ash and Clemont sweatdrop.

"Playing video games..." Ash offers nervously. Bonnie facepalms.

"But the dance is tomorrow! I don't suppose you two already have a suit and tie picked out do you?" Bonnie scolds. Ash rubs his neck, embarrassed, while Clemont just stares blankly at Bonnie.

"Suit and tie...?" Clemont asks. Bonnie folds her arms and nods.

"I suggest you get going," Bonnie instructs, gesturing to the door. Both the boys sigh and go to get their shoes on. Bonnie looks smug.

"You have them wrapped around your finger don't you?" Laughs Miette. Bonnie shrugs.

"They would be lost without me." I forget how much Bonnie has grown up over the years. I smile watching her rush the boys out the door.
