Blank Hill -- Part 6
Quillin Xarxes

Note: Someone asked me how to pronounce Xarxes (not here, somewhere else) it's pronounced Zah-ri-kiss, how I use it.


James, Butch, Jennifer, Jessie, and Meowth walked into Town Hall with new hope in their faces. James put his arm around Butch's shoulder and went to the man behind the desk. A wooden plaque on it read, "Brasse."

"How can I help you?" Said Mr. Brasse.

Butch looked at James, "We'd like to get married. Is there anyone who can do that?"

Mr. Brasse was somewhat chubby, his white hair seemed to have reached a timberline at the top of his head. He pulled his glasses off and looked at the two boys, "I don't think so, but you can check if you want. There's the chapel, and there's another minister in the office building down the street.

"Thank you." James said. He figured it kind off hopeless.

Still they checked the office building. The little room was dim, and the short man behind the desk somewhat resembled Satan, with his small black mustache and short hair (which also reached a timberline at the top of his head).

James walked up to the man and asked, "Are you Mr. Dawne, the minister?"

"Yes, I am." Mr. Dawne replied.

"Is it possible that you could marry us?" James said.

Mr. Dawne just stared at them like he had just heard a joke, "What is the meaning of this?"

Butch looked at Mr. Dawne with an expression of hurt on his face, "We want to get married. Can you do that?"

Mr. Dawne got up and looked out the window, "That's not right."

James followed him, "Please, sir. All that's happened to us since we left home was a whole bunch of crap that shouldn't happen to anyone! You could make our lives a whole lot easier, please. Just do this for us."

Mr. Dawne sighed, "My son was gay."

James cocked his face to one side, "And?"

"He got killed. I don't want that happening to anyone else."

Butch came up to Mr. Dawne, "Look, we're going to be together, whether you help us or not."

The ceremony took place in Mr. Dawne's office. It wasn't a beautiful ceremony, only some paperwork. To make it seem more of a traditional thing, James slipped a ring on Butch's finger.

Butch looked down and frowned, "But I don't have one for you..."

Jennifer looked at the engagement ring on her finger. With a smash into a metal post, she removed the diamond from the ring and gave the golden circle to Butch. The diamond flew to the corner of the room.

Butch took the ring, slipped it on James' finger, and gave him a kiss. He then hugged Jennifer, calling her a lifesaver, and the entire party walked out.

Meowth, after stepping a few steps outside, looked inside. He couldn't handle it any longer. He ran inside and stuck the diamond behind his charm. He let out two loud chuckles and followed the rest of the group.

They all returned to the motel, and Jennifer cracked open a can of soda and smiled, "That should do it!"

Jessie was still depressed over the whole thing, "Yeah..."

Meowth put the diamond he had taken and stuck it in his bag, "I sure could go for some food..."

"I'll call Mondo." Jessie said.

Jennifer lit up, "Did you say Mondo???"

Mondo had already come there by the time Jennifer said this. He was carrying a sack with sandwiches, "Jenny???" he said as he too lit up.

The two ran toward each other and jumped into each others' arms.

"Wow! Jenny! I can't believe I finally can see you again!" Mondo cried out. He then looked at Jessie, "I brought your food along, and she followed me." He pointed at a figure walking toward him. She had blonde hair and a black Team Rocket outfit on.

"Cassidy?" Butch said as his eyes widened.

"Butch?" Cassidy said. She looked miserable, "I missed you."

Butch went over and gave Cassidy a hug, "I missed you too."

That's when Cassidy noticed the ring on Butch's finger.
