Attention: Since English is not my mothertongue you might find some spelling mistakes or syntax errors. I apologize in advance. My mothertongue is Swiss-German so I normally imagine a sentence in German and try to translate it as well as possible into English, sometimes there is a lack of vocabulary or I don't find a match or the appropriate idiom but I want to improve my English and become a better writer. Another thing I want to make clear is that I use „..." to introduce direct speech! „ are not commas but the German quotation marks, just to avoid confusion.

Let's pretend we're angels

Chapter 1:

„Maybe we should stay at Cypress Creek. I mean, just think of the possibilites. These people are treating us like heroes although we're not more than unsuccessful thieves. Here we would get the chance to settle down and maybe befriend with the villagers" James suggested.

He was lost in thought and couldn't stop thinking of Kate. She showed a lot of interest in their business and in his well-being. She had encouraged him to fight against the evil scientist and seemed to be very tense while waiting for his safe return.

Jessie turned around, sparkles in her eyes. „Do you think we could build up a Team Rocket fortress, enjoy the fake fame and benefit from the kindhearted people who will read every wish from our lips?"

James sighted. „Kinda, I guess".

The reason he wanted to stay was simply getting in contact with Kate. He wanted to know her better and eventually tell her the truth behind the prosperous Team Righteous, which they weren't.

Jessie and Meowth high-fived each other. „I must say, James, sometimes you're really surprising me. You're about to deceive an ignorant solitary rabble and trick them by making them believe that we came to protect their village from extremly dangerous attacks. Whereas in fact we're going to profit from their hospitality and feast like kings."

Jessie laughed up her sleeve. She could imagine herself sitting on a velved covered throne, servants at her feet, strong and muscle-bound men fanning cool air with their palm fronds, innumerable delicacies on a tray and a wide range of evening gowns waiting for her in the closet. If only they would get the people from Cypress Creek to adore and admire them.

„Jessie, are you still with us?" James asked. He voiced misgivings regarding their fraud.

„What if they discover that we just pretend to be their angels? They will chase us away using pitchforks and shovels."

„Don't be silly, James. Just twist them around your little finger" Jessie grinned with little boyish looks. Meowth nodded.

„Don't forget to turn on your charm!" the little ball of fur added.

„I don't know. It all seems so wrong. Maybe we should tell them that we're not Team Righteous and that we landed purely by happenstance at Cypress Creek because we failed once more at stealing Pikachu" he really didn't want to hurt somebody's feelings, especially not Kate's. Every time she crossed his mind he could feel his heart doing flips inside his chest.

Jessie put a hand on his shoulder. „Never fear! We screwed so many people until now, I'm sure we will manage to chouse a bunch of retarded hicks!"

James winced. He knew that Jessie wouldn't stray from the original idea but he wouldn't let her rain on his parade. He nodded as if to agree with her point and stepped out of the robot.

The crowed turned to them, waiting in anticipation to learn about their decision.
„Now" the mayor said „will you keep company to us?"

Kate stared at James. Her pulse was raising. Would there be a chance for her to spend some time with her personal hero or would he leave her forever?

James didn't answer first, he walked up to the young brunette and grabbed her hands. She blushed shyly and avoided eye contact. He lift up her chin and smiled at her. There was a comfortable silence between the two of them.

„I will stay here, here with you, Kate" they fell into one another's arm and hugged.

„Don't let her go" James thought to himself. „You won't find another girl like her."

Jessie and Meowth were surrounded by the townspeople and didn't notice that there was something going on between peasant girl Kate and their best friend.
