03 - Serena - Fail-lock to Amelie - Text

[never_give_up]

Big sis.

Big sis.

I know you are the LAST person I need to ask but how do you get down from being hot and bothered?

I met the New Girl from the New Region and oh my gosh she's a hot dish. I'm going to die from her accent, I mean aaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

We went out to the World of the Gods, got Coffee and Pikachu Plushies and I'm going to MELT. I only feel this way around Ash and I think I have a girlcrush.

Help? I don't know how to hold these feelings.

"Serena. My darling sister. Two things."

Amelie takes a deep breath.

"One: That's normal, the only way I ever got over that stage was two failed relationships where I was too passive to talk about things before meeting Apple. Two: Did you mean to make this public?"

[never_give_up]

"I thought I was already in happily ever after with Ash, I didn't expect to wind up crushing on a girl I met for all of 3 hours!"

Wait what?

"I... what?" OH GOD UNDO UNDO UNDO "I can't lock it! Stupid Duck! YOU'RE DOING THIS TO ANNOY ME AREN'T YOU HAYATE?! OR GOD! BOTH OF YOU!"

[onaroll]

...Serena, please remember that 'happily ever after' is a loaded phrase around Amelie.

She'll just take a deep breath and let it out.

"You have to find the balance that works for you, Serena. The thing I learned from those failed relationships was that in order for a relationship to work, you have to be willing to define it, okay?"

[never_give_up]

Sorry big sis, she'll remember that for later, she's just in maximum flailing right now.

"I guess you're right. I just... oh gosh, I don't know how to contain these feelings, big sis. How will I know I'm making the right choice?"

[onaroll]

Amelie smiles.

"Nobody ever knows if they're making the right choice. You just make the ones you can live with!"

[never_give_up]

"I guess you're right. I'm just all worried about this." said Serena with a deep sigh.

"Maybe I should try to figure out how I feel about it?"

[onaroll]

“If you want to do it privately, you can come over and borrow one of the guest rooms?”

[never_give_up]

"Maybe I mean..."

"Wait, what do you mean privately?"

[onaroll]

"I've seen Professor Kukui's house, it'd take like half a minute to find anyone in there, if you tried to figure it out you'd get interrupted almost immediately."

A slight pause.

"Plus this is a castle, the walls are so thick every room is soundproofed."

This is delivered so deadpan she's almost certainly just messing with you, Serena.

[never_give_up]

"Big sis please, I'm turned on but not desperate!"

Serena is so, so embarrassed right now.

[onaroll]

Amelie can't stop laughing at the look on your face, Serena.

Oh, man, she never knew teasing someone about a crush could be this satisfying.

[never_give_up]

She's just going to hang her head in despair okay? Okay.
