The Only Exception

47.

Am I still writing this fanfic? Yes, indeed.
Am I going to finish it? You bet.
Will I be updating more frequently?
As I said, I won't be updating frequently due to me working on my mental health and other things. I hope you all understand.

***OOC Serena warning haha***

Enjoy!

The group started to make their way towards Laverre City. It was nearly sundown so they decided to set up camp for tonight. Both Ash and Clemont went to collect firewood to start up a fire while the girls stayed back and set up the tents.

Serena happily set up her tent as she waited for Ash to come back. This time, she would definitely get him to sleep together with her since she had her secret weapon.

A night gown.

She smiled herself just imagining Ash's reaction to her night gown. He was fairly captivated with her Fennekin matching outfit so he was sure to be enamored with her night gown.

She couldn't contain her excitement any longer as she made her way into the tent to get changed.

"What's with her?" Bonnie asked with a raised brow.

"Leave her be. Could you pass me the last stake?" Dawn asked as Bonnie handed the last stake to her.

Dawn began to hammer it down into the ground and got up as she wiped away some sweat. "Phew. Alright, all done with setting up the tents." She smiled as she put away the small mallet into Clemont's toolbox.

"Now we just need to wait for the boys and the firewood so we can make dinner."

"I hope they get back fast because I'm starving!" Bonnie exclaimed.

Just then, they heard footsteps approaching and saw both Ash and Clemont carrying chunks of firewood towards them. "Hey, we're back." Ash smiled.

"Awesome. Now I can start coo-" Before Dawn could finish her sentence her eyes widened at a different scene.

Ash and Clemont raised their brows at her as she turned to the direction she was looking at. Their eyes widened as well as Ash turned away to cover his eyes with his hat.

Clemont couldn't even find the words to describe the sight before him. He simply just fell to the ground in a faint.

Serena had come out of the tent in her night gown. A silk, see through, pink night gown that barely hid her bra and underwear.

"What's everyone staring at?" Before Bonnie could turn around to look at what they were staring at, Dawn quickly covered her eyes. She sighed in relief when the little girl showed no signs of resistance.

"Have you no shame?" Dawn said with a glare. "There's a child here!"

"Well, excuse you but I wanted to look good for my boyfriend." Serena said as she crossed her arms. "So, Ash. What do you think?" She smiled as she looked over at Ash who wasn't even looking at her. Instead, he had his hat covering his eyes and his back turned to her.

"You look great."

"You didn't even look-"

"Whoa, I just realized we don't have enough firewood. I'll go get some more!" He shouted as he ran back into the forest.

Serena pouted at him while Dawn tried to hold back a laugh. Serena needed to realize that it would take more than looks to win over Ash. She turned Bonnie around to go inside the tent while she went to help Clemont and prepare dinner.

After awhile, Ash came back with some firewood with his hat still over his eyes.

"Ash? Don't you want to see me in my new night gown?"
