Hey guys, Jeff here.
I bring you all the last chapter to this story, so this is the end. :(
Anyways, let's get to reading...
(Inside Serena's house)
The party was put on hold, with no-one eating the food, the dancing was halted and the music was stopped. They were all focused about the outcome of their first plan – which went well because of Bonnie – but was then lost in thought thinking of ideas for their confession. They were all looking around each other, wondering who was going to speak up first, who will stand up to the challenge.
"So, how will we break the news to the new couple? I mean how we just planned this all along and wasn't a coincidence." Clemont asked the group who was glaring at him, relying him for ideas as to how they should tell them about their plan in the first place. They were all worried about the reaction they would get from Ash and Serena; but they could all see what the end result was just outside - they were surprised how Serena was the feisty type and Ash being the calm one.
"I think we should just tell them straight out." Bonnie suggested with an excited tone. Bonnie had already made herself useful by brewing up a plan, which was successful, and was confident that she can come up with another plan – so that's why they trust her and have faith in her now; but also they appreciate her knowledge of the situation.
"Well, let's do this scientifically. We'll tell them stage by stage, you know one by one, that sort of thing." Clemont suggested with pride and courage, but the only reaction he got was confused looks from Delia and Grace, and a disappointed look from Bonnie - she knew he had let himself down again with his ideas using science as an answer.
"Personally, I agree with Bonnie's idea. I think it's the right thing to do." Delia mentioned as Clemont had a disappointed and annoyed expression on his face, but he understood why she said this.
"Sorry Clemont, but Bonnie's plan was more reasonable." Grace added with a confidence tone of voice. She preferred it, as she was worried about her daughter's relationship with her as she knew she will react in some way. "Also, Bonnie already had a successful plan, I mean look at them outside."
As she said this, all of them turned around to see if Ash and Serena were coming this way, to see if they were going to be found out having this conversation. They all gave out a sigh of relief, as they taught that Ash and Serena had come in from the back door, but it was just Rhyhorn outside getting into its hut after a long and relaxing day for it.
"It's all right. So, Bonnie, it's up to you once more." Clemont said with glee and relief. He was proud of her sister once again, of her efforts on helping out their travelling companions - their friends.
"Right, so I think that we should just wait for them to come in again." Bonnie said as she took charge of the task the group asked her to do. She was both nervous and excited at the same time of her plan that she had just formulated in her head. "So, Clemont you have to explain everything to Ash and Serena - as you're the person they least suspect right now."
"So, what do I say?" Clemont asked his younger sister. He trusted on Bonnie for this plan to work - to succeed once again.
"Right, but first you have to say this... and I'll come in and…" Bonnie said in a cheeky manner to the whole group as she whispered the plan that was only audible in their ears.
"Oh, that's perfect! You are a cheeky monkey, after all!" Clemont said with confidence as he had finished running through the plan one more time with Bonnie, who he inspired and moved by from her behaviour tonight.
(Outside in the garden)
Serena had broken their kiss and they both sat up on the grass again once more. The kiss that Serena started out of joy lasted for at least a few minutes and these precious minutes were the most amazing and joyful moments of their lives. As the happy couple looked up in the stars, they wondered about something that had been bothering their minds for a while – well, during the party itself.
"Serena, do you think this was all a set-up? I mean, the whole group was only separated for a day and we were all invited to this reunion party instantly." Ash said as he had a hunch or a theory to this matter he just pointed out to his girlfriend, which made Braixen and Greninja glare at them, who was both beside them looking up in the stars.
"I have a suspicion too, Ashy. It's kind of weird having been invited to this party after separating for only a day, so why don't we find out?" Serena suggested. She also had clear suspicion of what was going on, but Ash didn't – being dense as ever, which is what Serena liked about him as his characteristics were kind of unique.
"You know Serena, I feel that this was all a set up; but I don't know as this is just a gut feeling..." Ash added to what Serena had said.
"Well, let's find out if this is true or not right now." Serena said, comforting Ash as she noticed how her boyfriend was worried about something that she said before, but she resolved it by giving him a peck on the cheek.
"All right then. Let's go back inside. Come on, Greninja and Braixen." Ash said, now satisfied as his nervousness and worry was going away – as Serena made it all better - and they both stood up and headed for the door with Braixen and Greninja by their side and walked over to the truth that they have been looking for.
(Inside Serena's house)
As Ash and Serena entered the back door and into the house, which was nice and warm as the radiators were turned on, Bonnie tapped Clemont's arm to know that it was time for their plan to commence. Clemont stepped in front of Ash and Serena that startled the young couple and stopped them from their tracks, which Ash and Serena were annoyed about but then soon spotted that there was no-one around but Clemont himself.
"Hey Clemont, where's everyone?" Ash asked confused as to where everybody went and how the party was stopped – as Ash and Serena noticed that the music has stopped, no-one is on the dancefloor, and the food had been put away already and leftovers were already setup.
"Well, I have something to tell you both. Something important…" Clemont said, trying to hold his excitement, as Ash and Serena looked around again, trying to find any clues to what's going on – as everything was calm, peaceful and silent (which is the opposite to a party's atmosphere).
"What is it, Clemont?" Serena said worryingly whilst looking at Ash and gripping his arm tightly – as she was worried about what had happened to everyone whilst they were outside.
"You'll soon find out…" Clemont said whilst he gave a wink to his younger sister, who was hiding right around the corner, that indicated the signal that their plan is a go – as he knew that this was the perfect spot (as Delia and Grace could see the whole ordeal from the kitchen) and the couple were in the perfect position (Ash and Serena were looking towards each other).
At that moment, Bonnie came out of her hiding spot and came up to Serena's back, without the Ash and Serena noticing (as they were both looking at Clemont); but she paused before applying force to the push and exerting it to Serena's behind, making the couple kiss in front of Clemont. This showed the first phase of their plan had succeeded, and now was phase two.
"Hey Bonnie, what did you do that for?" Serena questioned Bonnie for her behaviour as Serena blushed madly.
"Bonnie, what was that all about?" Ash asked the young, blonde girl who was grinning beside them, showing how that worked out well, how she pulled it off once again.
"So cute!" Bonnie exclaimed with triumph and delight, which made Ash and Serena blush even more.
"Congratulations Ash, you managed to get yourself a girlfriend." Delia said as she appeared from shadows of the dark kitchen, where she was hiding, congratulating the couple for their kiss as well as the start of their relationship.
"The same to you too, Serena. You both overcome your nerves and got yourselves into a love relationship." Grace added as she appeared from the same place Delia came from. How she emphasised the word love made the couple blush even more with much embarrassment and all Bonnie could do was just scream with woe.
"I didn't expect this." Ash said confusingly. He didn't have a clue on what just happened or what is happening around him.
"What's going on?" Serena questioned everyone who was surrounding them with big smiles on their faces.
"Well, what if we told you that all of this was planned from the start?" Clemont started the explanation in a teasing manner, which Bonnie just giggled over.
"When you did your confession of your feelings to each other to your mothers, which sparked ideas in their minds and set up everything – the party, the meet-up and all of that." Clemont continued as he explained everything and the couple just stood there with shock and surprise. They both anticipated this, but they didn't think that they were right on their suspicion.
"Wow, you planned this mum?" Ash and Serena asked Delia and Grace simultaneously, still shocked and surprised.
"Yes, we did. We also say you both outside, as we were watching you both the whole time." Delia said smugly, as she was proud of what she had done for Serena, and of course Ash.
"However, I didn't expect that Braixen and Greninja felt that same way as you both, but then again they are your partners; so obviously they would act the same as you." Grace added. She was happy for both Ash and Serena, and was looking forward to how far this relationship will go by saying, "I'm so happy and proud for you both."
"I didn't expect this. How could I have been so blind?" Ash and Serena said simultaneously, as they both went and hugged their mother, and started to break some tears.
"Just remember guys, they are your mothers. They know if you're not happy or not and they will do anything in their power to make you happy." Clemont butted into this family moment that Ash and Serena were having with Delia and Grace, which received a 'this-is-the-wrong-time-to-do-this' expression from Bonnie; but Delia and Grace returned a smile to Clemont, for taking the words that were coming out of their mouths.
"Thank you both. What Clemont said is true, you both made us happy, very happy." Ash said as Serena grabbed hold of Ash's hand, which made him blush a bit but was then gone because he has gotten over the fact that it is all right now.
"I love you, Ashy." Serena said whilst they both looked at each other's eyes.
"I love you too, Serena." Ash responded back.
Ash and Serena did another passionate and compassionate kiss in front of everybody present, whilst Delia and Grace looked at each other and gave a wink to end their intentions and lay it to rest. They knew their work was done, for now, because Secret Messengers don't rest forever…
The final chapter had been put up and this, sadly, concludes Secret Messengers. :(
What can I say? Thank you for all of those who have stuck with me whilst writing this story. Thank you for all of you that have followed, favourited, and reviewed! The support on this fanfic has been amazing and I hope you all continue this in the next thing that I will be doing.
It has been a stressful week for me, especially with my GCSE ISAs and revision going on, but writing this fantastic story relieved the stress and pressure I have. Also, the support helped me the most - as it encouraged me to write more (as I have been feeling down lately); so again, thank you!
I think that this story is much improved compared to my last one, you can see it for yourselves, but I think that the inspiration came from me reading more fanfiction and that helped me the most!
In my profile, I outlined in my cycle that after finishing writing TWO Amourshipping stories, then I would do a story of a random shipping; so that's what I will be doing. However, I think that I should take a break, so this new story will be published by the week-ends, which is not that long to wait and I will leave you all to think which ship I picked and drop it in the reviews!
Anyways, I will see you all in the next story. Please keep up the support.
See ya! Have a great day!
