Hey! This was a story I thought up about four years ago in my head, and I'm just now typing it up. It's going to be a Team Rocket fanfic, if I didn't make that clear. And I'm not sure if it will turn out to be Rocketshippy or not. If it does, I'll update my summary.

This story's going to be long. It's funny at times, but I wouldn't call it a humor fic. It'll be serious too. It will also be sort of an adventure fic, but I wouldn't exactly call it that either. I guess you will just have to read it to find out.

I hope you enjoy it. I sure had fun coming up with it all those years ago. Thanks for reading, and leave a review if you'd like.

Jessie, James, and Meowth had been walking for hours in the forest looking for any sign of civilization. Civilization meant people, and people meant restaurants, and restaurants meant food. Jessie was starving. She was just starting to think about cooking Meowth for food when she heard James shriek a little ways ahead of her.

"YES! We can finally eat!" James said, falling to the ground and kissing the path underneath him. Meowth did the same. Jessie caught up to them and saw that there was a little town a little ways up the trail.

"'Bout time, too! I was startin' to tink we would nevah get here! My legs are killin me!" Meowth said gleefully.

"Imbeciles," Jessie said, "James, it was your fault we couldn't eat anyway! You ate the last of our food this morning! And Meowth, you've been riding on James' head for the past hour and a half! You two have nothing to complain about!" And she hit them both across the head with her fan, knocking them to the ground. James and Meowth just stood up smiling. They could be such idiots sometimes! Of course, Jessie was as hungry as they were, so her anger didn't last long.

"Come on, Jess! Let's hurry and get some food!" James said happily and grabbed her by the arm. Jessie laughed as he dragged her along.

"Hey! Wait for Meowth!" He yelled after them.

When they finally did reach the town, Jessie found a nice café and they all went inside. James was delighted to find that they sold doughnuts. Jessie was just happy that there were no Officer Jennys around to recognize them.

"So Jessie, what's the plan today? How are we going to catch pikachu this time?" James asked with his mouth full of food.

"I was thinking we could dig a hole, and put like a net over it or something, and catch them in it! Then we make off with pikachu!" Jessie said with a huge smile on her face. James beamed back at her.

"It's perfect, Jessie! How do you ever think of these things?" James said. Meowth nodded in agreement.

"Well, I'm perfect, of course!" Jessie said loudly. "As are you of course, James. We both are!" Jessie stood up suddenly. "We are Team Rocket, and someday we will finally capture that pikachu!"

James stood up with her and whipped out a rose. They both jumped up of the table and were about to start reciting their motto when Meowth scratched them both on the face.

"What're yous twos doin'!? You'll blow our covah, and the cops will be all over us!" Meowth whispered after he had finished scratching them.

"Ah! You ruined my perfection!" Jessie yelled. "You're gonna pay, Meowth!" She hated it when her face got ruined. And after all the time she had spent on it this morning! Jessie and James started stomping on Meowth. When they finally sat back down, there was a girl about sixteen years old standing by their table. She had blue hair tied in two pigtails and she was wearing a yellowish hat. The girl was holding a Totodile in her arms.

"Ah, can we help you?" Jessie asked. The girl looked more than a little scared. She had probably walked over right when they had started kicking Meowth.

"Yes… are you… James Morgan, by any chance?" The girl said to James. She was blushing and looking at the table instead of at him. For some reason, this upset Jessie. She couldn't exactly put her finger on why, though.

"Yeah. What do you need?" James said to her. She blushed harder. James took a sidelong glance at Jessie and shrugged his shoulders a little. Jessie shrugged back.

"I have… a message for you. Here," she said, handing James a fancy envelope. James took it and set it on the table.

"Thanks…um…" James was trying to prompt her into telling him her name. She didn't seem to understand. Jessie sighed. This was getting old really fast.

"He wants to know what your name is, girl!" Jessie said maybe a little too rudely.

"What?... Oh! It's Crystal," Crystal said, looking up at them for the first time. James gave a little polite half smile and Crystal started blushing even harder, if it was possible. Jessie just glared at her. Crystal's eyes widened and she looked embarrassed.

"Oh sorry, I didn't realize… Sorry, I'll go now! Bye!" Crystal ran off. Jessie just went back to eating her food. She wondered why Crystal had made her so angry. All she had been doing was delivering a letter, and she seemed nice enough… Crystal wouldn't stop blushing, though.

Then Jessie suddenly realized why she had been angry. Crap! She was jealous! But jealous of what, how Crystal had blushed because of James? Was she mad at Crystal for taking intrest in him? Crystal had probably figured that they were... an item, or something, the way she ran off. Ugh. James had better not say anything about this.

"What was that all about, Jessie? Who was she?" James asked. He probably thought that she had known Crystal from somewhere, the way Jessie had been acting.

"How am I supposed to know? I mean," Jessie said, calming herself, " I don't know her. I've never see her in my life." James just stared at her cautiously. "Are you gonna finish that doughnut?" Jessie asked, trying to change the subject.

"You just seemed a little upset…" Meowth snickered at this. Jessie and James looked over at him, and Meowth said,

" I know why Jessie was mad… " Jessie glared at him, trying to get him to stop talking. He just laughed harder.

"What, Meowth? Why was she upset?" James honestly wanted to know.

"Shut up, Meowth!" Jessie reached over to grab him, but he jumped up on top of the booths, out of reach. "I swear, Meowth, if you say one more word…"

"She was jealous! She was mad at that Crystal goil for blushin' at yah! And look at yer face Jessie, you're red as a charmandah!" Meowth said. Jessie gasped and tried to slap him with her fan.

"I was not! Don't listen to him, James-" But she noticed James wasn't paying attention. He was just staring down at the letter he had gotten from Crystal.

"What is it, Jimmy?" Meowth said to James. James looked up with a blank face.

"The letter- It's from my parents," James said quietly. He looked at the letter again like it was a bomb. "I don't think I'm hungry anymore. Can we leave, Jessie?"

"Of course, James," Jessie said. She picked up the letter and patted James on the hand. James, not hungry? Something must seriously wrong.
