No one's POV

"A-Ash?" asked Serena as she started standing up.

"Phew, I thought you forgot me again!" joked Ash.

However, hearing that, Serena immediately frowned and Ash noticed.

"I-I'm sorry, Serena. I didn't mean to-" Ash started however, he was cut off.

Serena immediately leaped at him and hugged him tightly, almost as if she was scared that he would leave again if she didn't. She stuffed her face into Ash's shoulder and tightly clenched her hands on the back of Ash's shirt.

Ash was initially taken aback, however, he too wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair as he returned the hug.

The moment felt right to both of them. Everything that was missing before felt as if it was immediately replaced.

Serena still couldn't believe what was happening. She still felt like she was dreaming, and if it was, she didn't want to wake up. She was overflowing with happiness because Ash was there. He hadn't left after all. She was so happy and so relieved that her eyes started leaking tears of joy.

Ash could feel his shirt becoming wet. He immediately frowned, unaware of the situation.

"Serena?" he started.

Serena realised that Ash must have felt her tears. She immediately broke the hug and wiped her cheeks. She then gave Ash a teary eyed grin with a deep blush on her cheeks.

"Everything's fine, Ash!" she expressed jollily.

Ash smiled at Serena before he lifted the flowers so that they were in Serena's line of sight. Serena gasped at the sight of the flowers. She then squinted her eyes, showing she was deep in thought trying to remember their names.

"We saw then a couple of months ago..." she started.

Ash immediately frowned. He was hoping she would remember then from the summer camp, but being proved wrong was slightly painful.

Serena was still deep in thought, that was until something clicked. Her eyes shot open and a smile set on her face.

"Honeysuckers!" she yelled out.

Ash immediately burst out into laughter. Just hearing that word again made him happy.

Serena gave Ash a puzzled look.

"What's wrong? Why're you laughing?" she asked while cocking her head to one side.

"You haven't changed a bit. You're still making the same mistake!" said Ash after he managed to suppress his laughter.

"Huh?" asked Serena, still confused.

Ash shook his head and handed the flowers to Serena while correcting her.

"Honeysuckles, Serena." he said with a smile.

Serena blushed in embarrassment, however, she couldn't understand why she had said 'honeysuckers' instead. She took the flowers and started sniffing them.

"They smell great, Ash!" she stated.

She then turned to took at Ash, who seemed to stare at her expectantly.
