Ash's POV


                          
I stared at the stage with a smile on my face as Monsieur Pierre started off the Master Class. He explained how everything was going to go, and then, he introduced everyone to Aria, the still remaining Kalos Queen. She didn't look that different from the last time I saw her; looks like she still had the same Pokemon, though: Delphox, Aromatisse, and Vivion. Her dress was a pink similar to the color of her hair, and it had some shades of light pink, baby blue, and light yellow in it. It was also pretty poofy. And, of course, she had that crown that symbolized her place as Queen.
                          
"Hello, everyone! Thank you for coming. I've been Kalos Queen longer than I honestly thought I would be, and maybe, just maybe," she winked, "one of our lovely performers we have here today will beat me, and take my place! Speaking of our lovely performers, here they are now!" She turned around with her arms in the air as the performers rose onto the stage, presenting them all.
                          
Just like last time, the performers were all in the, I guess boxes, and they were going to unlock the doors with their keys. We all waited impatiently to see them all walk out, but I was looking for one in particular, no one else.
                          
"Ash, look! There she is!" Bonnie tugged at my shirt and pointed towards the middle of the stage, and I gasped. There she was, walking out onto the stage with confidence. I smiled wider, and clapped along with the audience.
                          
"Serena!" I called out while waving.


                          
Serena's POV


                          
I opened the doors with all three of my Princess Keys, and walked out onto the stage, lights hitting me and every girl around me as I did. My Pokemon were at my sides, and they were hopefully as confident as I was. I didn't feel nervous at all. I felt myself smile with determination, and I locked hands with my Pokemon.
                          
"Will one of these girls be the lucky one and beat Aria tonight?" Monsieur Pierre said. He raised his wand. "Let's find out!"


                          
Timeskip to final performances ( too lazy to type all this I'm sorry lol )


                          
I...I've won...I was going to get to go against Aria...again! HOW?! I felt like I was dreaming, that all of this was fake. But it was all very much real, thank goodness.
                          
Unfortunately, before the final three, Shauna and I had previously been in the same round together, and I had beat her...I felt really bad for her, and she was really upset, too. But, since she is such a kind and understanding friend, she encouraged me to win, just like last time, and I was very thankful for that.
                          
"Thank you all for staying with us this far!" Monsieur Pierre began. "Our winning performer is going to perform in just a seconds, and Aria after her. But, will she win against Aria this time? We're soon to find out! Here she is, everyone! Miss Serena!"
                          
I took a deep breath, reaching my hand behind me and lightly touching the loose strings of the ribbon on the back of my head, Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon close next to me. I smiled to myself, as I started rising onto the stage, and closed my eyes.
                          
This is for him... I said to myself in my mind. I chose this performance because of your advice...I trust you...and I love you...
                          
As I finished off my thoughts, I suddenly appeared onto the very wide stage, eyes still closed, and my smile had not yet left my face. I didn't plan on it leaving, either. I heard very loud cheers, and they quickly died down as they anticipated my performance.
                          
The four of us waited a few seconds, and then, I opened my eyes, now, a determined look on my face. I took a deep breath, threw my hands into the air, and my chosen music began, along with my performance that would determine my fate as a performer.
