Date Start! Haunted House Ch. 25
Ash's POV
We were walking through the shopping district in awkward silence. We didn't speak at all. I couldn't even think of anything to say. I was sure that my face was red.
"U-Uhm, Ash?" I heard Serena say quietly from beside me.
"Y-Yes?" I asked, slightly startled.
"Uh, where are we going?" Serena asked shyly.
"Oh, right! There's actually an amusement park in town, so I thought that we could go there!" I said, suddenly excited.
Serena smiled lightly. "That sounds like fun."
It became silent again, but the atmosphere wasn't as awkward as it was comfortable. We made some small talk in the walk, but when we made it to the amusement park, the mood changed.
"Wow! There's so much people here!" Serena observed.
"Yeah, hope you don't mind," I said with a sheepish grin.
Serena shook her head. "Not at all."
"Alright, then, let's get going!" I exclaimed, immediately taking hold of her hand and rushing through the crowd after handing our tickets to a ticket collector.
I thought I heard a small yip, so I turned around and saw Serena blushing. I looked down out our hands and grew bright red as well.
"A-Ah," I started, lifting up our hands and pointing at it, "To make sure that we don't lose each other."
Serena nodded and I turned back around, letting out a sigh. We walked around the park, hand-in-hand, when Serena suddenly gasped.
"A haunted house!" She exclaimed with stars in her eyes.
"Aren't you afraid of ghosts?" I asked her, remembering her suggestions back at Espurr's mansion when we traveled together in Kalos.
"Hmm? No, not anymore really. In fact, I quite like them now!" Serena answered with a smile. "I made a friend in Hoenn who was a ghost type. Although he looked and acted mean and scary at first, once I got to know him, he was kind and caring."
"A pokemon?" I asked. "Why didn't you catch it?"
"You see, he was actually someone else's pokemon, but he ran away from them with a tantrum and ended up getting lost and poisoned by poison gas in the forest," Serena explained.
"Oh..." I muttered. "So," I said, changing the subject. I glanced at the haunted house. "Do you want to go in?"
Serena smiled. "Yes!"
I gulped but smiled. "Alright then!"
As we made our way towards the haunted house, people who were coming out of it were saying things about how scary and frightening it was. I swallowed hard but kept walking.
When we went inside, there were cobwebs and dimly lit candles and torches everywhere. The place was dusty and dirty, and there were claw marks on the walls and curtains. The whole thing was designed like an old, worn down mansion. It creaked in the wind, which made the whole thing scarier.
I shivered. The place already gave me the creeps and nothing even happened yet.
"Wow, they went all out," Serena said excitedly.
"Y-Yeah," I said quietly.
Before, I was leading, but now I strayed behind Serena, who dragged me along by the hand.
Serena stopped to look at something when I saw a candle's flame flicker side to side rapidly, even though there was no wind, much less a breeze. I looked around and saw all the other candle lights doing the same. A chill ran down my spine.
"U-Uh, S-Serena," I stuttered anxiously.
I was about to continue when's gush of wind flew past my face and the candles went out like a wave, starting from the end of the hallway and coming towards us. I was about to scream before I quickly covered my hand over my mouth.
"Wow!" Serena exclaimed. "That's so cool!"
My hands started shaking and tears started coming to my eyes, but I tried to blink them away.
"Hey Ash-" Serena started, but she cut herself off when she noticed me shaking.
"Ash?" She asked, her voice full of concern.
I shook my head.
"Ash, are you okay?" Serena said in a small, calm voice.
The hall was eerie quiet, barely welcoming anymore now that it was dyed red and orange. The place was only illuminated by the setting sun, that looked dirty and creepy through the old stained glass. I didn't answer and looked down, still shaking.
"If you were scared, you didn't have to agree on coming," Serena said, now whispering.
"No, you looked happy," I said, looking at her. "I wouldn't want to be the cause of your unhappiness."
Serena grabbed both of my hands in hers and clasped them together. She looked me straight in the eye and said, " What makes me happy is seeing you happy."
The red of the room made her eyes look like soft lavender. It was mesmerizing. I got lost in them and was surprised when she tugged me down the hallway, back the way we came.
"Where are we going?" I called in shock.
"Back. Let's go somewhere else," Serena said.
She turned around to look at me and smiled. "Somewhere you won't be scared."
As she turned back around, I blushed.
She kept dragging me along and as we were getting closer to the exit, I started to feel more relieved. But that feeling quickly disappeared when I saw a row of sharp teeth smile at me. Red eyes suddenly appeared and it jumped at me. I immediately closed my eyes and screamed. Serena whipped around and gasped.
"Ash!" She shouted, before noticing the thing on me.
"Banette?!" Serena gasped again.
After hearing that, I opened my eyes and looked at what jumped at me. Sure enough, it was a Banette, a ghost type pokemon.
The Banette looked at her and then jumped on her. I was about to scream out to her when I saw Serena hug it.
"Banette! It's been so long!" Serena said. "Where's your trainer?"
I was about to ask what was going on when I heard two familiar voices shouting for Banette.
Banette jumped out of Serena's arms and flew over to an intersection of the hallway where two people came out. Their area was dark so I couldn't see who it was.
"Banette! Geez, where were you?" A male voice asked.
"It's a good thing we found you! Your such a trouble maker!" A female voice sighed.
Wait, I know those two voices!
"Paul?! Dawn?!" I shouted.
Both of them stepped out of the hallway and, sure enough, it was both of them.
"Ash? What are you doing- Serena?" Paul asked.
"Paul! It's great to see you!" Serena exclaimed running over to him and giving him a high five.
"Wha? Wait, you know each other?!" I asked.
"Yup! We met on Hoenn!" Serena smiled at me. "But more importantly," She said, turning to 5he two with a wide smirk. "What are you two doing? Hmm?"
Both Dawn and Paul blushed bright. My eyes widened since it was my first time seeing Paul like that.
"I- uh- w-we, well we...!" Dawn stuttered rapidly.
Paul, still blushing, took his arm and wrapped it around Dawn's waist, pulling her closer to him. Dawn blushed even brighter.
"W-Well, we're da-" Paul started before getting cut off.
"NO WAY!" Serena shouted happily, jumping at the two and hugging them. "I'm so happy for you both!"
"Congrats," I said, suddenly feeling left out for some reason.
"Thanks, But what's going on here?" Paul asked, pointing to both me and Serena.
"Ah, you see, they're on a date," Dawn said with a sly smirk.
We both blushed, looked at each other, and turned away, still blushing.
"Ooooh. I see," Paul said with the same smugness. "Well then," He started.
Both Paul and Dawn ran out of the haunted house with Banette following behind. "We'll leave you to it!" They both shouted together.
Me and Serena both stood there in silence for a bit before held out my hand for Serena to take.
"Well then, should we go?" I asked, rubbing my finger under my nose sheepishly.
Serena let out a small laugh. "Yeah. Let's." She said, taking it.
Doo do doo do do do! Hibiite kono sekai ni onaji omoi- Oh, sorry. I feel like the ending for the chapter would have ending music like this lol. The anime it's from is called Akagami no Shirkyuki-hime or Snow White With the Red Hair. Here's the romanji lyrics, too!
~~~
Hibiite Kono sekai ni Onaji omoi no kodou
Futari wa egaite yukeru
Atataka na hizashi Egao sakasetara
Ashioto Nasane nagara susumou
Yasashisa ni furete Hirogaru mirai wa
Ano toki Nozonde kimeta michi
Mamoritai hito ga iru to Tsuyoku chikaeru nara
Hanareteite mo Chikara ni kawatteku
Shinjite Mune ni idaku hitamuki na jounetsu wa
Kagayaku shirube ni naru yo
Hibiite Kono sekai ni Onaji omoi no kodou
Futari wa egaite yukeru
Ikutsu mo no mayoi Dousureba ii no?
Kaze fuku basho de kurikaeshite
Tachidomaru toki mo Aseru kimochi sae
Subete o tsutsunde kureta kara
Kikoeru yo Namae o yobu Tashika na sono goe ga
Kakegae no nai Yuuki o kureta ne
Negai wa donna toki mo Kienai akari ni naru
Tomezu ni Omoi tsudzukete
Jibun no hane o hiroge Tobitatsu tori no yukue
Sora e to Maiagaru you ni
Shinjite Mune ni idaku hitamuki na jounetsu wa
Kagayaku shirube ni naru yo
Hibiite Kono sekai ni Onaji omoi no kodou
Futari wa egaite yukeru
Tsunaida kizuna ni nosete
