Fame At Last

Notes: Ever wondered what would happen if they made a Team Rocket movie? Me and Roy did the other day whilst watching my Pokemon films. We agreed that while Mewtwo Returns is centred on Team Rocket and has some cute Rocketshippy bits in it (prison!), it just didn't involve enough Jessie and James. Plus Domino really bugs me. In way that makes me throw things at my poor innocent TV.
Anyway, I decided to write this short fic about Jessie and James going to an award ceremony after releasing their very own movie. I'm not sure what the movie was about… Here goes. Prepare to meet some new faces! -
Big whoo-hoo! to Banshee Girl, the only one who's still here. Glad I haven't bored you yet!
Warning: High levels of comedic value are contained within these pages.
ROCKETSHIPPY! Just thought you ought to know. I mean, seriously. It's almost puke-making. As a comedy genius, I am disgusted to the depths to which I have sunk.
As a Rocketshipper, I am delighted.
As their limo got ever closer to the premiere, Team Rocket could hardly contain their excitement. Jessie in particular was bouncing up and down in her seat. The sequins on her red and gold dress shimmered and sparkled as much as her eyes. She looked like a Russian princess, all red and gold, with matching shoes and a shimmering see-through wrap. Their stylist had even managed to persuade her to wear her hair down, and had produced a magic shampoo that turned its wild tresses into glowing red ringlets. James looked at her. Think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts…James stopped himself in surprise. What did it matter? They were a couple now, although James found it hard to believe. But whilst making the film, they had discovered they really do have a lot in common, besides loving each other with a passion. Though that helped a tad.
So instead of thinking unsexy thoughts, James put his arm around Jessie's shoulder. Jessie managed to stop bouncing and looked up at him. He really did look exceedingly hot in a suit, though not the horrid stiff ones his parents made him wear. This one was cut to fit him perfectly, and hung on his body with a grace and sophistication that not many men can achieve. Of course, he had a little red rose pinned to his lapel.
Finally they were there. Meowth looked out of the dark windows. Fans were screaming outside, a velvet rope barely keeping them back, as well as a lot of men in dark suits. Meowth almost scratched the limo impatiently.
"Open da door!" he screeched, making the driver practically run out of his seat. He wrenched open the door. The noise was deafening. Fans of all ages screamed at Team Rocket, waving banners in their face. The usual stuff. 'I love Team Rocket', 'Prepare for trouble', although James was intrigued to see one proclaiming 'James got me pregnant'. He laughed and gave the girl his autograph. A while back this sort of thing would have embarrassed him, but not any more. You get used to it after a while (or so I'm told, being neither popular nor famous or having my own movie).
They made their way slowly up the famous red carpet, signing autographs and posing for cameras (something they did very well, though with less exaggerated movements. It was impossible to do in a dress, not that James was wearing one…I already described this!). Finally, though none of them quite knew how, they managed to make it to their seats without being totally mobbed. It got a bit hectic when girls started throwing their underwear. Thy looked around the hall interestedly.
"Oh my God! Johnny Depp!" said Jessie in excitement.
"And J-Lo. How many crap movies has she starred in now?" asked James.
"I lost count. Pierce Brosnan!" Jessie was almost standing on her seat. James pulled her down.
"Oh James, I just thought of something," gasped Jessie. "What if…what if I trip over when we go to accept the award on national television!"
"Calm down Jess. Let's get through this ceremony without you having a nervous spasm," said James. "Speaking of…is that Kate and Barlow?" (Sorry, they begged so hard to be put in. You have no idea how cute they are when they beg! Not in a horny way though…)
"And the twerps," said Jessie. "They're gonna sit with us." Sure enough, the twerp trio and Team Hornio joined Jessie and James. Misty and Kate hugged Jessie.
"I can't believe you got nominated!" squealed Kate.
"I can! The movie was excellent! I'm so glad I got a part!" said Misty, laughing. Ash, Brock, Barlow and James exchanged knowing glances.
"Girls," said Ash. "Maybe we should squeal too."
"You do what you like pal," said Brock, looking disturbed.
"But seriously James, congrats on the movie," said Barlow. There was a lot of hand shaking and manly hugging at this point…real guy stuff. Sense the testosterone.
"Where are Pikachu and Togepi?" asked James.
"Watching from the Pokemon day-care centre. They can't wait to see you on screen again!" said Ash.
"We only get shown if we win," James reminded him.
"Which you will!" Kate joined their conversation.
By the way, Tracey had also got wind of the award ceremony. Ash, in pure panic, had almost exploded when the Pokemon Watcher had announced he was coming. Brock however, kept his head and gave Tracey the wrong address. This meant he was presently on a train heading for Alaska.
Jessie leant against her partner. "I don't think I could be any happier."
"Say that again when we win the award," said James, putting his arm around her and kissing the top of her head.
"If we win the award, I'll explode," Jessie warned him. "I'm not made to be happy. I'm made to be violent."
"I'm sure you'll manage to be both," said James. Jessie poked him. "You know, you're just proving me right." They chatted for a while then a hush fell over the room as none other than Terry Wogan walked onto the stage (who else here loves Terry Wogan? Seriously, Radio 2 makes my mornings. Without it, there would be no point going to school. Well, there still isn't, but Terry and his gang of sad sacks make it all worthwhile). They tensely sat through half an hour of awards, then suddenly…
"This year's nominations for the Best Newcomers award are…Zoë Montenaro for her part as Maria in West Side Story…" A clip was shown of a really good remake of West Side Story. Jessie and James glanced at each other, feeling decidedly more nervous. "…Pete Baker for his part in Free Trial…"
"I've never even heard of that," Ash whispered.
"You haven't heard of a lot of things Ash," said Brock.
"…and lastly, a joint nomination, Jessie and James for their part in Team Rocket: The Movie." A pun was shown from their movie, and the whole hall laughed. Jessie was bouncing on her seat again, her crossed fingers in her mouth. James had a sneaky suspicion that she'd also crossed her toes.
"And the winner is…" Terry ripped open the envelope. Brock and Misty clung to each other subconsciously and Kate was almost on Barlow's lap…
And there we shall pause our tale, gentle readers, for I am a sick, twisted, evil little bugger who likes to make people suffer. Ha.
