L' amour, l'amour t'attend (Amourshipping)

5. Lovely love lessons

The alliteration may be a bit too much but you know what the chapter's topic is. You may ask why Ash's Pikachu isn't as dense as Ash is. That's because I say so and in the first seasons of Pokémon, Pikachu acted smarter than Ash. Probably everything in (...) from Pikachu is just what he 'says'. French: Je ne possède pas Pokémon. It means: 'I do not own Pokémon.

All of our heroes went to sleep.
Ash: *It's useless! (AN Yes, you can scream in your mind.) Stupid questions of mine. Well, since you're awake, you can think about them.
First: Does Serena love me?
How shall I know?
Great! Answering questions with other questions.
Second: Do I love her?
How shall I know? I didn't love somebody till now, so how could I know. Maybe Pikachu knows, he is sometimes really smarter than me. But I can't wait till tomorrow to ask him but I also can't wake him up just for that and in general. I believe that would be a very shocking experience. I should try to sleep.*

Serena: *Ash acted strange back then, when we were all alone. ... Snap out of it Serena!Was he really just joking when he said I act as if I am in love with him? I really act so. Does he notice? Does he love me? Why is love just so complicated? Sometimes I wish I wouldn't love him, but I can barely live without him. What will I do if he doesn't love me back? No! What would I do if he didn't love me back? Yeah, that sounds better. Why did I have to fall in love with the densest person on the planet? I have to tell him at least but when? After the league I guess, before he leaves. What will I do if he leaves without me?* (starts crying quietly)
Ash is still awake and hears that.
Ash: "Serena, why are you crying? Did you have a nightmare?
Serena (sad): " How (sniff) did you know (sniff) it was me."
Ash: "How couldn't I?"
Serena: "That's no answer."
Ash: "But it works, you stopped crying."
Serena: "Why do you care?" (bad mood)
Ash: "How couldn't I, I care a lot for you. You are important to me..."
Serena: *Does he finally tell me, he loves me?*
Ash: "... since you are my childhood friend and now best friend."
Serena: *Ouch! You idiot, that exactly is what makes me cry! You just 'friend-zoned' me.*
Ash: "So what was wrong?"
Serena: "I just asked myself some stupid 'what if ...' questions. Some of them made me sad."
Ash: "Don't worry, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. I'm always there to help you."
Serena: "Thank you, Ash. Let's sleep now."
Ash: "You're right. Have sweet dreams."
Serena: "Thank you, Ash. Goodnight."
