Chapter 3, here it is. I'm finally getting my sleep schedule back on track, which means if all goes well, then the updates will start back at it's usual pace, every couple of days. I have a good excuse as to why this chapter took so long. Last week I the stomach ful which messed up my entire day and my sleep schedule. Let's hope I can keep my sleep schedule fine.

"So, if Ash can't give all his love to you, and he needs someone else to share that love, why don't you share him?"

Those were the words that had been haunting Mallow's thoughts all day. The words from Selene kept reinserting themselves back into her head, multiple times day. She couldn't focus on anything that Kukui was explaining. The words also kept bringing themselves back up everytime she looked at either Ash or Lillie.

She decided since she couldn't get it out of her head, she would put some thought into the words. Could they share Ash? Could they be opened to the idea? She thought as she blocked out any noise. She prayed she didn't get picked on to answer a question, or that this lesson wasn't important.

Why am I considering the idea in the first place? One voice from her head asked her. She didn't exactly know. Because you know that Selene is right. Ash won't be able to decide between you and Lillie, so sharing him is the best option. You also love Lillie as a best friend and almost a sister before this, the arrangement would be fine for all. Another voice in her told her. The voice sounded more correct, but she wouldn't accept that.

We need to prove that we're better! The first voice shouted. No, no, no, no, no. Cooperation over competition. She decided that she was going to listen to the first voice. She was better than Lillie, she assumed. We're going to regret this… the second voice measly said. She yelled shut up in her mind and the voice spoke no more.

"...Mallow likes grass…"

"Fire-type!"

The whole class looked at her strangely, even Kukui looking at her with his eyebrows raised. She heard her voice so she shouted an answer. Looks like the answer is wrong… completely… shit. She looked over to Ash and Lillie and they held strange looks on their faces as they stared at her. Ash gave her a small smile, to which her heart fluttered at, but Lillie gave her what seemed to be a smirk. Oh that little miss princess, I will f-

"Are you okay Mallow?" She stopped her thoughts completely to turn and see a slightly worried looking Kukui staring at her. All of sudden she felt the embarrassment of what she did and she felt her face get extremely hot.

"U-uh… uh y-yeah professor. I-I'm fine." She answered. Dear Arceus, I sound like Lillie.

"Alright Mallow. Well the day seems to be over with. You're all dismissed." She got up, getting her stuff, which she didn't use, in her bag. She heard talking and turned to see Ash and Lillie having a pleasant conversation with each other. She felt jealousy, but it wasn't burning hot jealousy like she expected. Cooperation. No. She walked towards them, in hopes to break away their conversation.

"Hey Ash, how ya doing?" She asked, completely ignoring Lillie. Out of her peripherals she saw Lillie's eyes narrow. She got the full attention of Ash.

"I'm doing great Mallow! How-" He got cut off by the other person who was in the conversation.

"So Mallow what just happened now? Hmm?" Lillie asked snarky of her, eyebrow raised, but a smirk on her lips. She'd never heard Lillie speak or act like this before. This made her blood boil.

"Oh that was nothing. Forget about it." She waved out it off. The memory still left a faint blush on her cheeks. Ash nodded and turned back to Lillie as she tapped him.

"So Ash, when can we do another day like yesterday? Where we hung out for the whole day." Lillie asked him, giving him a bright smile. She heard her stress the word 'whole' on purpose and glared daggers at her. So she wants to play like that. Ash was about to answer but she got him off this time. She felt slightly bad for cutting off Ash, but she wasn't going to allow Lillie to win.

"Ash, what about the day we went on a date?" Both Ash and Lillie's eyes widened hearing the word that Lillie had just been afraid to use moments before. She smirked at Lillie and turned to Ash and gave him her most brilliant smile. Ash froze up, and she couldn't tell if it was from her smile or the question.

"That wasn't a date Mallow." Lillie said plainly, keeping a calm face, but she knew that inside Lillie was angry. She smirked at her, about to take this to the next level.

What the hell is happening? Was it a date with me and Mallow? Was me and Lillie? Aghh what's going on!

"Oh yes it was Lillie. It's just I'm not afraid to say it like you are." Mallow coldly said to her. He couldn't believe she said that. Even though he was dense and all, he could understand the very blunt line. He heard Lillie gasp and saw her blush. Cute. Shut up. He looked at the smirking Mallow figure, with her hands on her hips, and her with emotion he couldn't place.

"He never said it was a date. You wanted it to be a date, but he saw nothing of it." Lillie avengedly said, looking proud of herself for coming up with the sentence. Not it was Mallow's turn to gasp as they both glared daggers at each other. They got face to face. It looked slightly ridiculous as Mallow was a lot bigger than Lillie's very petite frame, but she held her ground. I have to stop this.

"Hey guys… umm… lets go to the beach tomorrow. Both of you." He came up with the idea on spot, and he saw both Mallow and Lillie look at him in confusion, before a look of joy and anger both came onto their faces.

"Both of us." Lillie barely said, a voice like a whisper. He nodded and he didn't the notice the glare she gave Mallow.

"Alright… alright…" He looked at Mallow smirking again. She seemed to have an idea in her head that looked like she won't be sharing.

"Let's do that. All three of us, after school." He nodded but Lillie continued to glare. He sweatdropped at their antics.

"Alright, I'm off. See you guys!" Pikachu on his should waved at them as he jogged off. Pikachu wisely kept his mouth shut during the conversation. He though back to the conversation. I thought they were good friends? Why did they insist on biting each other's head off after every sentence? Who knows.

"He mine!" Mallow yelled at her after seeing Ash leave. She withheld her anger to slap Mallow, instead focusing on breathing before she turned up to look at Mallow, who still held a smirk on her face. I just want to slap that smirk off her face.

"Like hell!" She responded, shocking both Mallow and herself for the language. She couldn't believe she said that, but she wasn't going to allow Mallow to know that. She kept her glare on her as she looked flabbergasted from what she said, before her face hardened and they were back to glaring.

"I'll see you tomorrow Lillie. I'm. Going. To. Win." And with that, Mallow took off. She watched as Mallow sauntered off, her eyes seething with anger, before she finally collapsed.

She didn't physically collapsed, but mentally she did. That was exhausting. As she was gathering her stuff, and scooping up Snowy in her arms, she thought back to the conversations she had with Ash and Mallow. She couldn't believe herself. She acted snarky and confident, something in which she never thought she could do, but Mallow had that effect on her when Ash was nearby.

She had grabbed all her stuff, and started to walk to her limousine that was waiting for her. Tomorrow she was going head to head against Mallow at the beach to show why Ash should belong with her. How she was going to do this? She had no idea, but she hoped she could figure out something real soon. She was going to have to call Lana up.

Okay Lillie, let's see if you prepared for this. She had just walked out of a story, a bag in her hand, making her way home. She strode with confidence and pride for what she got, ready to beat Lillie is this 'game'. She could imagine the reaction on both Ash's and Lillie's faces from what she got.

She basically skipped home from excitement, but before she made her way home, she figured she would go see Selene. Quickly making a detour from her home to the ice cream parlor, she entered the cool story. Her skin felt relief coming out of the hot sun.

"Hey Mallow, what's up?" Selene called from the counter. She made her way up there, noticing a few people here.

"Oh nothing much, except for the fact that I'm about to win Ash over Lillie tomorrow!" She clenched her fist in energy. Selene gave her a slight skeptical look.

"And how are you going to do that?" Selene asked her. Mallow looked around and noticed that people were staring at them, listening to their conversation. Those eavesdroppers, mind your own damn business!" She went closely to Selene to whisper it to her. Selene's eyes widened as she showed her the contents that were in the bag.

"Mallow you're playing dirty!" For a second it seemed that Selene was mad at her and slightly disgusted, before a grin came onto her face.

"And that's going to totally win him over!" Selene said excitedly, shaking and grabbing her hand. She giggled and didn't care that everyone was looking at them, they didn't matter to her.

"But remember what I said." Selene had stop shaking and her excited voice was replace with a complete neutral tone. Mallow stared flabberghasted at her, shocked that she was still putting it as an option.

"Why are you so-" Selene put a finger to her mouth, shutting her up. It seemed Selene wasn't going to take no for an answer. She won't consider the option, at least not yet, but she'll have it in her mind.

"So… what type of ice cream do you want?"

"Uggh… I'm so confused, what do I do Pikachu?" A disgruntled Ash asked his loyal and faithful buddy. Pikachu rolled his eyes at him and shook his head.

"Pika piko pika cha."

"I'm not going to 'share' them. Is that even possible?" Pikachu shook his head again and ran off, to probably play with the other Pokemon. So much for loyal and faithful. He got off the couch he was laying on and just stared at the wall, thinking.

Lillie or Mallow. Mallow or Lillie. Lillie or Mallow. Mallow or Lillie. Lillie or Mallow. Mallow or Lillie. I'm going to lose my arceus-damned mind. How do I choose. I want both. Damnit.

He threw something, whatever his hand grabbed, which was the tv remote, and threw it at the wall in fustration. Maybe Pikachu is right, maybe I could have both… but would they ever agree to that, hell no!

He thought back earlier today when he was talking to both. He didn't understand why they were being so nasty with each other, but he knew if they acted like that, then no way would they want to share him. There had to be another way that he hasn't thought of.

"Lillie, Lillie, Lillie. This is it, the chance." Lana said to her, laying on her bed casually while a stressed Lillie was pacing her room.

"I know this is the chance Lana!" She snapped at her bestfriend. She immediately regretted it and apologised profrusely into Lana yelled at her to shut up, to which she did.

"S-sorry, I'm just stressed." She made it clear by pulling her blonde locks, which to cause her some pain, but strangely some relief from the stress. Lana gave her a small grin.

"Well we need to have a plan to make sure that he will fall for you and not Mallow. And Lillie no offense, we can't do it off of looks. Mallow is, how do I put this nicely, more sexier than you." Lana explained carefully, not wanting to hurt her bestfriend. Lillie felt a slight pang knowing what Lana said was true, but she didn't hold it against Lana, it was just how it is.

"I know she is. She has great curves, with a great body with a beautiful face." Lillie muttered angrily. Lana sighed and shook her head, not even going to argue with Lillie. She's heard those rants before.

"Lana, what should I do?" She asked the blunette who looked to be thinking. Before she saw a lightbulb appear over Lana's head, signally an idea.

"Well we can't beat her off looks. We can beat her using what you're good at, plus something she's usually good at." Lana explained, a smirk on her face, not directed at her, but at her idea.

"What?"

"By making a connection with Ash and using that newfound confidence you've found in yourselves." Lana looked proudly at her idea and Lillie thought it over. That does seem like the best option.

"It is the best option!" Lana exclaimed, seemingly to read her mind.

"You did say that last thought aloud."

"Oh." She felt slightly stupid that for a quick second she thought Lana was a phsycic.

"So now that we have the plan, let's pick choose a bikini. We need your most revealing." Lana said casually. That made her freeze and blush up.

"Lana! I thought we weren't supposed to win off that." She yelled, still shocked at what Lana said. Lana rolled her eyes at her, making Lillie sprout a vein on her forehead.

"Yeah I know, but we still need you to look good, and I think that this light blue and white one looks the best, and the least amount of decency." Lana still explained without a care in the world. Lillie continued to blush hearing what Lana had said.

"I hate you." She muttered to a grinning Lana.

"Nah, you love me."

Finally got this chapter done. This story will only have two more chapters. Maybe if it gets a good amount of reviews and you guys ask, I'll throw in another one about the aftermath of all of this, but you'll have to wait until chapter 5 is done.

That's it for now, I'm out.

Read and Review.

I'll catch ya'll in the next one.
