A/N: So this is Roles reversed. It was a request from Debapriya, but not a movie/episode twist request. No, I was given a basic plot line and well, I'm giving it a go. I hope this satisfies you Debapriya :) And without any further mention, I will get this story under way. Enjoy :)

May's life

May's POV

"Calling Sapphire, please come to the office immediately." A voice rang out over the sound system. I groaned. That was me; Sapphire was my code-name. I was meant to be resting; waiting in the lounge with my good friends Mina and Jaiden for our dismissal.

"What did you do wrong this time?" Jaiden teased.

"Nothing," I said, "not that I know of."

"You better go," Mina said, "sounds urgent."

"You'll wait for me before you leave won't you?" I asked.

"Maybe, maybe not," Jaiden said, grinning. Mina smacked him lightly on the shoulder.

"Jay's just kidding," Mina said, "go. We'll wait."

"Just make sure I won't come back to see you guys making out ok?" I teased, winking at them. I laughed as their faces went red and they both yelled indignant protests at the same time before I walked out. They were obvious in their love for each other, but both refused to admit it. So I teased them. Maybe one day, they could answer back and tell me they actually were dating. Until then, I had to wait…and set them up.

"Sapphire! Report to the office now!" The voice rang out again. It was probably some new receptionist getting a little freaked out by my boss' impatience.

"I'm coming," I grumbled, making my way through the halls. This was my life outside of contests. I was part of an anti-villain team called Team Gama. It stands for Government and Mandate Agents. Kind of like a secret police type thing. I'd been a part of it ever since I was little and they had saved my family from a team that no longer exists named team Alpha. They were a 'take over the universe' type team, but not directed at Pokémon. Sure, Pokémon were powerful and getting control of a legendary could be pretty devastating, but this team was different. They were ruthless. They manipulated and sometimes killed people. Team Alpha had taken my family, Max, mum, dad and me. They were planning to kill us to make an example from people who opposed them. Team Gama came in and saved us in time, but as repayment, I was forced to join as a new recruitment. I still haven't paid off my debt either. You could never repay something as large as having someone save not only our life, but your family's lives as well.

I pushed the speaker button next to the door to his office.

"Sapphire here, reporting to urgent calling," I said into the microphone.

"Ah yes, come in," he replied. I opened the door and froze. My boss, a middle aged man with dark blonde hair speckled with patches of silver and blue eyes named Jacob Daniels; was not alone. Next to him was a tall boy, who looked close to maybe 15 or 16, close to my age at least. His hair was bright red and cut short. He looked up and I saw he had pale blue eyes.

The door slammed behind me, alerting them to my presence.

"Ah, Sapphire," he said, "thank goodness you're here."

"What do you need me for?" I asked, "Is this another criminal?" My hands reached to my belt where I had a dagger concealed. To my surprise Jacob laughed.

"You needn't be on guard Sapphire," he said, "This is my son. I said I'd introduce you."

"Um…" I had no idea what to say. This was what was urgent? I was expecting some sort of mission that required immediate action.

"He has seen some of your work and has grown fond of you," Jacob continued, "so I'll leave him to introduce himself. I'll give you a few minutes together before you can leave for the day." I gulped, hearing the word fond. This wasn't what I thought it was, was it? Jacob left, apparently ignorant to my discomfort.

"Um…Hi," I said, waving at the boy.

"I'm Craig," he said, "I'm sorry how my dad called you here urgently. Must be annoying, especially since you probably want to get off and go home right?"

"Yeah," I agreed, "but don't worry about it."

"No, I feel terrible!" he exclaimed, "I'm holding you up. I said I wanted to meet you and all, but my dad just forced this upon both of us." Well, he didn't seem so bad, but still…

"Hey, I understand," I said, "It's no big deal. But I would like to go. My friends are waiting for me." I had to get out of here as soon as I could.

"Ah, ok," he said, "maybe you'd like to catch up another time?" I internally winced.

"Sure," I agreed, "some other time."

"Can I have your number?" he asked. I took my pen from my pocket. I grabbed his wrist and wrote it on the back of his hand.

"I'll call you tomorrow ok?" he said. I nodded. I offered him a smile and walked out as calmly as I could before I ran all the way back to Mina and Jaiden.

"So what was the call about?" Jaiden asked. I gulped down the huge lump in my throat.

"Hey what's wrong?" Mina asked. I winced.

"I had to meet Jacob's son," I said.

"Ooh, what's he like?" Mina asked, "Is he cute? Is he nice? Or is he hot? What's he look like? Do you think we'd get along?" I watched Jaiden's face darken with his jealousy, even though he was trying to hide it. I smiled slightly. If only my friends could admit their way too obvious love for each other.

"Well, he seems ok," I said, "His name's Craig. He has red hair and blue eyes and is pretty tall. Maybe even taller than Jaiden. I guess you'd get along. I didn't really stick around for too long."

"Oh ok. I prefer brunette guys," Mina said, shrugging, "Now tell me why you were so worked up about this."

"I…I think I'm going to have to be his girlfriend," I said, starting to shake again.

"What!" Mina exclaimed. Jaiden put a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her from the anger that would no doubt be stirring inside her.

"Why do you think that?" He asked.

"Jacob said that he was fond of me," I said, "I think he wants me to get together with Craig."

"Are you sure you're not just misunderstanding?" Jaiden asked. I shook my head.

"I have to repay my debt somehow," I explained, "I think this is how I have to do it."

"WHAT!" Mina yelled even louder. Jaiden covered her mouth with his hand.

"Oh May," Jaiden said sympathetically, "Are you sure?"

"I-I-I'm not ready for t-this," I stuttered, trying not to cry.

"Honestly, when would you ever be ready for this?" Jaiden said.

"I don't know," I said, "sometime when I'm not in love with someone else."

"That's so unfair!" Mina yelled, her voice half muffled from Jaiden's hand, "Let me go Jaiden, I want to talk." Jaiden grinned cheekily at her.

"No," he said. Mina glared at him. I watched with mild amusement as they flirted with each other.

"You guys need to kiss and start going out already," I said. Both of them blushed and looked away. Jaiden took his hand from her mouth and wiped it on his shirt.

"Never!" Mina exclaimed, apparently missing the look of hurt that flashed through Jaiden's eyes.

"Yeah, what she said," Jaiden muttered. I rolled my eyes. What are you gonna do with stubborn friends?

"Anyway," Mina said, "What are we gonna do about this Craig guy?"

"Please, I just don't wanna talk about it for now," I said, "In fact; I kinda just wanna go home."

"Want us to come with?" Mina asked. I shook my head and offered her a smile.

"Thanks," I said, "but I'll be fine. I just need to be alone to think it over." And maybe talk to my mum about it.

"See you here tomorrow?" Mina asked.

"Idiot," Jaiden snickered, "tomorrow is a contest. None of us are training. Of course we'll see each other." Oh right. I'd forgotten the contest. That would surely make me feel better.

"I'm home!" I yelled coming through the front door.

"Hey honey," My mum called, "You're home early. I thought you'd be out with those friends of yours."

"I decided to have a quiet night," I said.

"Well if you want, there's left over pasta bake in the fridge. All you have to do is heat it up," Mum said. I walked to the fridge and opened it, getting myself a serving of the said food. I put it in the microwave.

"How is my beautiful girl?" Dad asked, coming into the kitchen and gently kissing the top of my head, "How was your day at training?"

"It was good I guess," I said, biting my lip, "something's come up…And I want to talk to mum."

"Another dangerous mission?" Dad questioned, "good idea. Wouldn't want mum to freak out." I bit my lip again. Not quite. My parents hadn't exactly agreed to my recruitment of this team. In fact, they were pretty against it, but when you owe someone the lives of all your family, you can't do anything to protest.

My mum was always worried I'd be killed or hurt, but the worst injury I'd come out with so far was several gashes along my arms, legs and back.

My dad was worried too, but he didn't show it as much. He was also proud of me for doing the right thing, even though it was dangerous and not what I would want to do.

Max was scared for me. Always afraid that each time he saw me, it would be the last. So Max had become clingy. It was strange how people changed when something happened.

Of course no-one else knew. It was a secret spy thing after all. I couldn't tell anyone, not Drew, not Solidad, not Ash, not anyone.

I took my food out the microwave and ate it quietly.

"MAY!" Arms wrapped around me with such sudden force that I almost fell off my chair.

"Max!" I squealed, feeling my balance sway, "let go." He did what he was told and I fell off for real.

"Ouch," I moaned, rubbing my head.

"You're home May," Max said.

"Yes I'm home," I groaned. He hugged me again. I pushed him off me.

"As happy as I am to see you too, I need to talk to mum," I said. He nodded.

"Alone," I said.

"Oh…ok," He said, walking away almost dejected. I sighed, rubbing my hand over my forehead.

"After I've talked to mum, I'll play a game with you or something," I offered, "Does that make it better?" Max nodded enthusiastically and went back upstairs. Poor boy. He had changed a lot after being kidnapped. He was traumatised. He only stayed home all day and played like a little kid still. I was worried he'd never return to his old self. Even his smart mouthed comments would be welcome. Anything to get it back to how it used to be.

"Mum," I called, walking into the lounge room.

"Yes May?" she said, looking up.

"I want to talk to you," I said.

"What do you want to talk to me about sweetie?" she asked.

"It's about…boys," I said hesitantly.

"Oh May, have you got a boyfriend?" she asked.

"Not quite," I said, "Look, Jacob introduced me to his son today and he's seems like a nice guy and all, but I don't wanna date him. Only I think Jacob expects me too as part of repaying our debt. Mum, I don't want to! What can I do?"

"Oh May," she said, "I'm so sorry. I wish you didn't have to go through this, but you know we can't protest. Maybe if you already had a boyfriend he wouldn't expect you to."

"Who?" I choked out, "mum, there isn't anyone who would date me on such short notice."

"What about Jaiden?" Mum said, "He'd know and be understanding."

"Mum, he's in the team. Jacob would know about it as soon as we 'broke up' and then I'd be back down to square one," I said, "besides, I wouldn't want to cause any trouble between Mina and Jaiden."

"What about Drew?" Mum suggested, causing me to blush slightly, "surely if you told him it was to avoid being forced to date someone else, he'd do it."

"I dunno mum," I said, "what if he doesn't?"

"Then I guess you'll just have to date that other boy," Mum said, sighing heavily, "I'm so sorry. I wish we could do something, but I can't. Will you be ok May?" I forced a small smile.

"I'll be fine," I said, brushing away the few stray tears that had leaked through the corner of my eyes, "I'll just ask Drew to be my temporary boyfriend." I couldn't tell though, if I wanted him to say yes and save me or to say no and teach me not to be so selfish. I guess I'd find out tomorrow.

A/N: So how did you like the first chapter of my new story? It's a little faster than I'm used to. Usually I do a bit of an introduction first (which I kinda did now that I think about it) But I've also thrown myself head first into half of the main plot already. Also, what do you think of Mina and Jaiden? For all of you who don't know, Mina and Jaiden are my OCs. If you haven't read my 'Dare or Truth: Pokemon style' or 'Matchmaking madness', you probably won't know who they are. But this is my first time using them in a story quite like this. I just didn't think anyone else could really fit the roles I needed for them. Mina and Jaiden are a pairing of sorts or shipping, whatever you want to call it, and they are sort of going to be a side focus throughout pretty much the whole thing. Also, all contestshipping fans, please DO NOT HATE ME FOR THE WHOLE THING WITH CRAIG! It is part of the plot. I did say it was contestshipping though, so it will end with May and Drew. Come on, it's not spoiling anything. you all know that I couldn't split my favourite shipping. I just needed it for plot purposes. Because I am trying something a little...different with the romantic sides of things between May and Drew. Anyway, I think that's all I really needed to say. Tell me what you think in a review!
