Fanfic Previews: Serene Scena (Patreon)

“Bar keep, another glass please!”

“Miss, don't you think you've had enough?”

“Argh, you're just like that creep. You get bored of me and then * hiccup * move onto someone else don'tcha? I'ma big name in the Performance scene ya know! Could tell my twelve followers not to come to ya bar ya hear?”

“Fine, please just don't make a scene...”

The concerned female bar tender poured another “insert drink here” into the glass of the drunken girl sat at the bar of a near empty club. The girl sipping down her latest of many drinks she could not remember how many was Serena, a Pokemon Coordinator from the Kalos region. The teenage trainer was not much of an alcoholic, since turning eighteen that year, she was a mere beginner having only the occasional drink. Today, she was in a real foul mood. Her old past self might of cried and got depressed about the news she got, but a lifetime of anxiety and thoughts of “what if that very thing happens?” running through her head, Serena was tired of worrying. She craved a drink, which turned into several. Her first drunken depression. If only Bonnie or her mother could see her now.

“You were meant to be the power.” she angrily moaned at herself. “My first love, then you go and do a thing like that. What the hell do those Alolan girls have than I was lacking? Did they dress up like one of those parade Pikachu costumes for your pleasure? Pfff, like I fucking care any more, they're welcome to ya!”

“Your first drunken bender I take it?” spoke a familiar voice.

Serena span her chair over to see who it was, almost falling off. It was the last person she wanted to see.

“Ahh piss off Miette!”Serena told her rival. “I'm not in the mood!”

“I wouldn't be a good friend if I just left you drink yourself away.” Miette smile as she sat in the seat next to Serena.

“Good friend my foot, you were always trying to outdo me in anything I do, even tried to steal that bastard away from me!”

“Ooh, so its a love problem.” her rival signalled the bar tender to get her regular drink. “What did Ash do this time, take Pikachu for a date over you?”

“Pikachu can have him!” Serena finished her drink. “Hope that yellow rat sees what a jerk he really is!”

“Ooh, must be really serious then!” Miette took a sip of her own drink.

Serena slammed her drinking glass on the bar, pausing before admitting to her depressive state.

“Ash...has started dating someone else!” she admitted.

“Ohh...Miette also paused to let the reveal sink in. “Any idea who?”

“Some bitch from Alola, I dunno their name.” Serena continued. “Probably should of saw it coming, his class did have three girls in there.”

“And he did not think about you?” Miette asked.

“He just up and told me online he was in a relationship and acted clueless when I asked what about us?” Serena clutched her drinking glass hard. “LIKE I KISSED THE FUCKER AND THAT MEANT NOTHING TO HIM?!?”

The whole bar stood silent from Serena's outburst. As Serena starred at all the eyes looking at herself, the Serena of old started to re-emerge as tears flooded her eyes.

“ITS NOT FAIR!” she cried into Mietta's lap. “I dunno what more I could have done to get him to love me! Is it me? Is he just so.....tell me Miette, what went wrong?”

“Why don't we go back to where I'm staying?” Miette suggested. “”Much less starring eyes.”

“No...I don't car any more.” Serena threw herself back onto the bar. “I'd rather drink till the alcohol devolves me away!”

“We could pop into the Pokemart on the way.” the rival sweetened the proposal.

“You're on.”

“AHHAHAHA, and you're telling me he dressed up like a girl for a fucking Pokemon Badge?” Miette laughed so hard sat on her bed with a bottle in her hand.

“Yes!” Serena also laughed sat on a bed opposite. “Like he only told me after I dressed up in his clothes pretending to be him when he got sick! Better yet, he suggested he could dress up like me and me as him again for one of my performances!”

“Ooo, someone has a fetish!” Miette teased. “Must of wished that Brock pervert would hit him up!”

“Exactly!” Serena fell on the bed laughing so hard. Poking fun of her former love was really cheering her up, the booze was also helping. “Oh Miette, I never thought you of all people could be a really funny drinking buddy!”

“You as well!” the blue haired girl complemented her friend. “Ash is a fol to fucking not notice a beauty like you?”

“Oh, you think I'm beautiful?” Serena laughed as she drank from her own bottle. “Fraid I don't really swing that way love!”

“Neither do I, but I mean it. You are really pretty.” Miette continued. “Could not of asked for a better rival in love.”

“Cheeky.” Serena fell onto the bed. “Me beautiful huh.....think I could be a model?”

“Anytime.” Miette answered.

“That would be nice...” Serena started to feel sleepy. “Have my beauty captured forever...in a magazine.....”

Before Serena could doze off, Miette got up and whispered something in her ear.

“So you wanna be beautiful forever?”

“More than anything...” Serena spoke softy.

“Even if you gave up everything to achieve it?”

“I've lost everything I value today, I don't really care any more....”

“Alright then, sleep tight....”
