Heart of the prince

Morning came early for Brock's and Gary's liking. After having a good time last night during the ball, they were now being interrogated by their friends for one special topic; the topic is about their favorite trainer and his secret girlfriend, something that they don't know yet and something that they will not know from them. Still they were not looking forwards to this.

"Okay you two, I'm going to asked again, why did you two didn't inform us about that white hair girl during the festival." Misty asked in a very sharp tone.

Gary sigh again, for what seems like the hundred times this morning, it was lucky that he had instructed Brock to not open his mouth or else they will already be screwed, in more ways than one.

"Ash requested us not to talk about her because of his personal reason." Gary said in his best acting tone. Usually that voice would convince them but not now, not after what they saw last night.

"Don't give us that excused mister, after what we saw last night; do you expect us to believe that?" May asked in an exasperated tone.

"Believe it or not, that's our reason on why we lie to you guys during the festival. Yes I know that those two are very close with each other, heck in doesn't take a genius to see that, but I assure you, you three love sick puppies, that they are only friends, disturbingly close friends." Gary stated in a firm tone. He didn't want to lie to them but for their sake and to an extent, hih, he must.

"Even if that is true, you could have told us about this Elena girl, the way she looks at Ash, I don't even want to go there." Dawn exclaimed in dismay.

Gary sighed as he buried his head on the palm of his hand. "You three aren't listening to me, Brock and I kept Ash's secret because he threatened us, and do you know how rare Ash threatened people and there is a reason why he rarely gives threats to people, because if he does, he will follow through with it in spades. And trust me; I don't want to be in the wrong end of his fist when that happens." Gary told them in a frustrated tone. 'Not to mention I don't want to get blown to pieces by those Aura Spheres of his.' Gary added mentally.

"But you guys had got to admit, that Elena girl is quite beautiful." Brock commented out of the blue while Gary merely nodded at that.

"She is, I don't blame Ash for keeping her a secret from all of you, who wouldn't want to have that kind of girl all to himself." Gary commented with a sly grin.

The two were then hit by the three girls with their fist. "Would you not tell us that?" The three girls shouted in unison. They didn't want to admit it but they were right, the girl was beautiful and was seven different kinds of sexy, something that they were not.

"Would the three of you relaxed," Gary exclaimed as he rubbed the bump on his head. "We were just stating the truth. She is a very beautiful girl, she's the sister of one of the most famous trainer in this generation, and Ash's uncle usually treats her like his own daughter. That and Ash is extremely comfortable with her, you guys got to admit that those two are extremely close with each other." Gary said with a small smirked. "That and if she could make Ash act all lovey-dovey, then damn it, that girl must have some kind spell on him, I never thought I'll see the day of Ash romancing with a girl." Gary added with a low smirked which earned him another hit in the head.

"SHUT IT MISTER," Misty exclaimed in annoyance. "There must be a reason why Ash is so comfortable with her, add to the fact that both of them disappeared during the ball last night." Misty stated as she bit her lower lip.

Max instantly answered that, wanting to his presence to be known. "Didn't you guys hear what his uncle said, he said that those two already rented a hotel room and they'll be spending the whole week in a hotel somewhere here, together, alone." Max said with a small amount of mischievousness.

The three instantly paled at hearing that. Seeing Ash and, that, that bitch talk and how they towards each other acted unnerved them, Ash was never liked that with them, he never acted that sweet, that romantic, or that gentle with them. As they remember last night, one thought came to their heads.

"What does that girl have that I don't?" The three of them asked in unison.

Gary didn't have the heart to answer that. He knew the answer, the answer was simple, Elena had one thing that they will never have, and that is the heart of his childhood friend.
