Chapter Three: Love Everywhere

Monday (Continued)

"I'm home!" Ash shouted as he walked in the door.

"Hey dad!" Leah and Lara shouted at the same time.

"Is my clone and the other one home?" He asked

"Alex is home." Lara said.

"Dad, he got a girlfriend!" Leah said.

"Really? What's her name?" Ash asked his daughter.

"Mallow." Leah responded

"Vincent's cousin?" He asked.

"Yeah. She's here right now actually." Lara chimed in.

"Ok." Ash said as he went upstairs.

He got to Alex's door and knocked.

"You in there?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, come in!" Alex said.

Ash opened the door and saw them both just playing video games.

"Hey kid, whacha' doin'?" Ash asked.

"Playing video games with my girlfriend." He responded.

"Hi. I'm Mallow!" She said

"Nice to meet you." Ash told her.

"You too." She replied.

"Alright, I'll leave you two alone." Ash said as he left.

As Ash arrived down stairs he was greeted by his wife, who just got home.

They saw each other and Serena walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. She then wrapped her arms around his chest and buried her head in his chest, took a deep breath, and sighed.

"Long day?" Ash asked.

"Yep. I did SO much paperwork." She whined.

"That sucks. But Alex got a girlfriend." Ash said softly into her ear.

"Really!? What's her name?" She asked.

"Mallow." He responded.

"Mallow as in his friend Vincent's cousin?" She said.

"Yep." Ash said.

"She's a nice girl." Serena told her husband.

Time Skip: Friday, 5:30 PM

At The Dinner Table

"Isn't Leaf coming over tonight?" Lara asked her brother.

"Yeah, why?" Ashley asked.

"No reason. Just wondering. What else do you two do anyway? All you guys seem to do is make out. You guys can't keep your hands off each another." Leah asked.

"Ew! That's gross!" Selene said.

Serena giggled to herself and whispered, "You won't be saying that in a few years..."

Serena was happy that none of her children hadn't inherited Ash's density. But sometimes they knew too much. Ashley's personality was similar to Ash, minus the denseness. That was a blessing.

"W-W-Well we watch m-movies..." Ashley couldn't think of anything else.

"See I was right!" Leah said.

"Sweetie, leave your brother alone. And Alex, apparently you have a girlfriend?" Serena said as she took a bite of her food.

"Yeah. Her name's Mallow." Alex said.

"WAIT A MINUTE. MALLOW AS IN VINCENT'S COUSIN MALLOW?" Ashley asked

"Yep." He responded.

"Vince let you!?" Ashley asked

"Yeah, for some reason." Alex said turning a little bit red.

"Mallow's a nice girl." Serena said.

Later that night Leaf came over. Of course it was the regular movie and making out night for them.

But Ash and Serena enjoyed themselves as well.

Saturday Morning

Ash got up and went downstairs, only to be greeted by the smell of delicious breakfast. He noticed that Leaf had cooked breakfast for all of them. Leaf was sitting at the table.

"Morning Mr. Ketchum. I made all of us breakfast." Leaf said.

"Morning Leaf. Is Ash' not up yet?" Ash asked.

"No, but he will be in a few minutes." She told him.

Ash stretched and let out a yawn as he poured himself some coffee.

"Long night?" She asked with a suggestive look on her face.

"I...uh...yeah. I guess you could say that." He responded.

About ten minutes later, everybody was at the table. Leah was the first to speak.

"So...uh....*cough* long night?" She asked her parents.

Serena turned bright red.

"Yeaaaahhhhh....we all heard it...." Ashley spoke up.

"Heard what?" Selene asked.

"N-Nothing sweetheart. Don't worry about it."

"Oh, ok." Selene said as she finished her breakfast. She was even a faster eater than her father. She went outside to play like usual.

"Can you be quieter next time?" Lara asked.

Serena was even redder now.

"C-Can w-w-we s-st-stop talking about i-it p-please?" Serena pleaded.

"Yeah, let's stop talking about it. I admit, your mother can be kinda loud, but-" Ash was cut off by his wife.

"A-Ashy! S-Stop!" Serena begged while softly hitting him and turning redder than a tomato.

"But seriously, why of all nights did you chose the one night when Leaf was here?" Ashley asked.

"I don't know, we just did." He replied.

Ashley sighed.

"Just don't do it again?" He asked.

"Fine." Ash said.
