After putting their bags safely inside their respective rooms, Ash and Serena both began to walk out of the Pokemon Center and made their way together to Harmony Meadow just outside if town. With no hours to spare their thoughts begin to dance like a flower in the wind...

Serena's POV

Arceus, this is the best day ever. This reminds me of the first time we were alone together in Kalos, maybe this could be seen like a date as well... I began to attempt an old trick, I reached for Ash's hand and I actually touched it with the greatest delicacy though I don't think Ash noticed, unfortunately I was stopped by both my nervousness and the nostalgia. I wasn't watching where I was going and ended up catching my foot on a loose rock on the grassy green path we were taking to Harmony Meadow. I closed my eyes anticipating a hard fall but I never met the hard embrace of the floor...

Ash's POV

"Serena!" I shouted in worry as she hurtled towards the floor at horrid speed, my heart skipped a beat and everything slowed down as I reached for her arm. I grabbed her swiftly but lost my footing as I soon fell to the floor first

Serena's POV

I slammed to the floor but I only felt a soft impact as if something had broken my fall on to the grassy plain. I slowly opened my eyes as my breathing slowed to normal. My renewed gaze was met with the auburn fire in the eyes of my lifelong crush. The sunlight above reflected into his eyes as he watched me. I squirmed slightly when it finally occurred to me what happened. A furious rosy blush covered my face, it grew even deeper when I realised it was identical to Ash whom I was still awkwardly on top of. I quickly got up and began sweatdropping, the blush still apparent on both our faces. "Ash, please forgive me, I'm so sorry." I felt guilty that i may have caused him to get hurt. "Serena..." I looked up at him with a small smile and I was met with two hands and a hat. He placed my hat back on my head and offered me his hand to get up.

Ash's POV

"Don't feel bad Serena, I only care that your alright" I replied while trying to keep my composure after finally realising what happened. My face had gone hot in the whole incident and still was when I pulled up Serena. With my thoughts away from me, I pulled her up harder then intended. My face grew ever redder when I realised we were in a hugging stance. She looked so cute. For some reason I wanted to bring her closer to me, to protect her. I know why I feel like this. My fever is acting up again. We stayed like that for a few seconds, neither of us knowing what to say or do.

Serena's POV

I died inside a few seconds ago. My heart exploded...exploded with joy and started beating a million miles an hour. Ash was red raw and looked so cute, though I could hardly speak. He pulled me up with his great strength and I stumbled into his chest. By now my whole face had been reddened. Our childhood played out in my head, the one difference to that nostalgic moment was I feel a different sensation to the pain in my leg, it was a warm embracing sensation that I knew all too well. I swear I felt Ash bring me slightly closer even if it was slight in those short seconds Our faces were mere inches apart I could feel his breath. No words were exchanged in that moment. That sensation I was feeling... was love.

Ash's POV

I broke the hug. I almost didn't want to and the disappointment was evident on both our faces as the blushes had disappeared to. "So, should we keep going the meadow is just up ahead." I quickly uttered to break the tension and silence. She nodded with a smile and we continued the rest of the path, we scaled a small incline to be greeted by a pretty impressive view. Serena's eyes widened, the events of a few minutes ago seeming like a memory, she leaped with joy. "This place is even more gorgeous then I imagined." I definitely couldn't deny the fact, masses of flowers and Pokemon of varying species littered the park like field ahead. I glanced over at Serena who was still in awe of the world around us. I took the initiative and took her hand in my own, it just felt right. She looked at me in surprise. "What are we waiting for, lets have some fun." I beamed. I dragged her for a few seconds but she quickly caught up to my pace as we ran hand in hand to the meadow.
