--To Have Feelings!--
It had been a cold and stormy night and Team Rocket had been left out in the cold there was nothing left for them, they were the outcasts of society. Rebellious by nature, criminally minded, but everyone always forgot one important fact, they were still human.
Team rocket sat on the ground huddled together thinking of warm thoughts whilst, the rain continued to pour down on them.
"I'm sick of having to wait on the outskirts of every town we come across, it's demeaning we're supposed to be this great team and here we are huddled on the ground in the middle of this muddy wasteland of a forest" Jesse whined.
"Hey Jess, don't forget the promise we made the day we graduated from the Rocket Academy (A/N: whatever they called it) If we work together we could become the best Team Rocket ever known." James replied.
"Honestly James do you still believe in that promise we've been chasing that dream for a couple of years now, and we've gotten nowhere except blasted off every single time." Jesse sighed. "What's the point?"
James and Meowth sighed, they couldn't argue with Jesse there it was true every single time they'd gone up against the twerps, they'd been blown up, shocked, water gunned, every attack the twerp's Pokémon could use, they'd been hit with.
The wind in the storm slowly began to build up as the clouds and rain became more vicious, lightening struck the ground, thunder rumbled loudly, and sending shivers through the three team mates.
---------
An hour had passed and the storm had finally subsided. The trio sat shivering as the clouds began to clear and show the black night sky. Meowth yawned.
"Can we go to sleep now?" he asked irritably.
"Yes that's a good idea if we're going to try and catch the twerps at the Rustboro Gym tomorrow." Jesse said, she smirked, thinking of their plan.
James pulled himself up off the muddy floor and went to the balloon that they had hidden, and grabbed three small blankets and laid them down on the ground.
The trio relaxed on the three blankets the only things protecting them from the muddy floor. Within minutes, Jesse and James were left to ponder there own thoughts as Meowth snored in a deep sleep.
There was silence besides Meowth's snores; Jesse lay with her back turned to James.
Is it possible for us to actually achieve our goal all we've done is screw up every attempt. She thought, Jesse sighed loudly and shut her eyes waiting for sleep to come.
James lay with his back turned to Jesse. He pondered his own thoughts.
Is it possible, I know we can achieve our goal but the only way would be to plan our back ups for the main plan better. How can we do that? How can I do that? I can't focus on our goal, I want to focus on my goal, but..but how can I? I could never admit how I feel, Could I? No I couldn't she'd turn away from me, but if I don't say anything I'll never know if she feels the same or not. No I can't tell her, its principle of Team Rocket, Team mates may only have a work related relationship nothing more.
James sighed loudly. He shut his eyes wishing sleep would overcome his thoughts and send him into a deep slumber.
-----
Jesse stirred from her sleep; she yawned and rubbed her eyes. She stared groggily at the empty bed where James should have been. She stopped for a second wondering where the purple haired teen had gone, a branch breaking stirred Jesse from her thoughts. She stared at where she heard the branch breaking. The trees rustled as something moved through the lower branches.
She crawled backwards stepping on Meowth's precious tail as she went. Meowth awoke with a yelp of pain as he yanked his tail from underneath Jesse's Knee. He massaged his tail, and noticed the rustling of branches.
James emerged from the rustling trees, holding some blue coloured berries.
"I found breakfast" he announced happily. Jesse stared at the teen in front of her she stood up brushing herself off.
"James" she yelled. "You almost gave me a heart attack" She said a light tinge of red coming across her face. James noticed her embarrassment of the misunderstanding. He raised his eyebrow at her and grinned.
"Sorry" he replied happily. They sat down on there blankets as the sun began to shine down and dry the damp ground. James looked at his berries, remembering his thoughts from the previous night. He placed the berries on the ground and looked at the damp dirt in front of him.
Meowth noticed James staring into space.
"Maybe you should go talk to him" he whispered to Jesse as she munched on her berries. She looked at James who was staring at the ground.
"Hey, James, you know your berries aren't going to last very long if you leave them sitting in the dirt." Jesse said with a smile. She nudged Meowth, and moved her head as to motion him to leave for a moment. He grumbled as the Red head forced him to leave his blanket and take refuge on a rock outside the camp.
"James, what's the matter with you?" She asked.
"Its nothing" James replied sharply.
"Come on don't be like that we've been together for years why can't you tell me what's wrong? I'm not stupid James I've been with you and Meowth for quite a while; you can't hide anything from me!" She replied.
"This is something I can't talk about...Especially not with you" He mumbled back.
"Why not James, it's not like I'll laugh at you, what's the worst that could happen, honestly?" She replied.
"I just...I can't...No, i'm sorry Jesse I can't" James replied looking up at her blue sapphire shining eyes.
She gasped at his eyes, the normal pale emerald green colour had now become a dark vivid forest green, she could see in his eyes he was hurting but about what she couldn't tell.
"James, Tell me now, I can't stand all of your moping" she said harshly. "Honestly James your like a little child, all you seem to do is sulk maybe if you opened up to som..." She was cut off by him.
"Just shut up! You want to know the truth fine, I love you Jesse." Tears glistened in his green eyes but he didn't care, all he knew was that he had to get out of there and fast. He stood up and ran.
"James" Jesse called after him. She wanted him to know she did but she understood there job's principle.
Oh James, If only you knew how much I care, I can't stand to see you hurt like that, I do care for you, I do love you, and I really do!
