"Dance With Me"
By: Misty
"Come on, James! It'll be fun!! Pleeeaaassseee??!!" Jessie begged as she gawked at the huge Dragonfly Dance Studio of Azaleia Town. "Jessie, I really don't think.....we can't.......the twerps......" James stammered. Jessie clung to his right arm and looked into his eyes soulfully. "We'd never have time Jessie. And where would we get the money?" James said. "We could.......maybe ask the boss...." "Jessie, are you crazy?!" James said. "The boss would never give us money just for that!!!" he said. Just then, two men climbed high up at the top of the building and hung up a famcy banner bearing the words "FREE TUITION-THIS MONTH ONLY.JUST FOR BEGGINERS!!! APPLY INSIDE." Jessie smiled. "Well, James. How about it? Once a week. Please? For me?" Jessie begged again, still staring into James' hypnotic apple green eyes. "Alright, Jess. We'll dance." he said. "Well, youse two can dance all ya want, but ders no way I'm gettin inta de act." Meowth said, folding his arms.
"That's fine Meowth. You can watch us." Jessie said. Meowth looked like he was about to object, but then he imagined Jessie and James in leotards, ballet shoes, and tights, doing pleas and dancing around, and instead burst out laughing. "And just WHAT is so funny?!" Jessie said, picking Meowth up by his tail. "Ow!! Owww!! Nuttin! Nuttin is funny!!" Meowth exclaimed, but somehow he was still laughing so hard that tears ran down his face. "Lemme Go!!!!" He yelled. "I'll deal with you later." Jessie said, putting Meowth back down on the ground. The three of them then walked inside of the studio. It was very fancy and luxorious, with red velvet upholstries and black leather couches. There was very loud music coming from upstairs, and young dancers running around all over the place. Jessie and James walked up to the receptionist. "Hello. We'd like to sign up for beggining Jazz; private lessons." Said James, smiling humbly at Jessie.
"Alright. Your names, please?" The woman said. Jessie and James exchanged nervous glances. Well, they were in one of the smaller and secluded towns, and who would suspect that they were dancing?? So, why not use their real names? "Jessie." "James." They each said. "Ok, and for what day of the week and what time?" "Thursday? Four-O'Clock till Five? " Jessie suggested, looking at James. "Sure." he agreed. So, after giving all the needed information required to dance, Jessie and James were soon on their way to meet their instructor. She was a young, petite and slender woman with long brown hair, bright white skin, and a sweet face. "Hi! I'm Heather, your instructor." She smiled and reached out to shake their hands.They introduced themselves nicely, then went up the stairs of the studio to look at their dancing room. It was very large, almost half the size of a football field. They wouldn't have to worry about taking up space here. "Wow, this looks great!" They said together. "Yeah, and what's even better is that since you two are getting private lessons, you'll have this huge space all to yourself." Said Heather, smiling. "This is so wonderful! When do we start?" Jessie wanted to know.
"Next Thursday." Heather said. "Perfect! Then we'll have time to prepare." said Jessie as they explored the room. "Looks like youse two are gonna have a great time!" said Meowth. "Wha?! A talking Meowth?!" Heather excalimed. "Yeah, it's a long story." Jessie said as she blew the dust off of an old piano in the corner. "Cool!" said Heather. She bent down next to Meowth. "You are very unique, indeed. Did you teach yourself to talk?" Heather asked. "Yep! I did it all for a beautiful female Meowth I was in love with. I even taught myself to walk and run on two legs." "Wow...that sounds hard...." Heather said. "It was. I did everyt'ing for her. Den she dumped me for a Persian......" Meowth looked down sadly and sighed. "Yeah, love hurts like that. But there will be others......I promise." Heather said, smiling. Then she got up and led Jessie and James out of the room. "Well, I'm sure we'll get off to a good start next week." Heather smiled.
"See you then!" Jessie and James said, smiling and waving to her as they went downstairs. "See you!" Heather said. Jessie hugged James when they walked out of the studio. "Oh, James! This will be so wonderful!!" Jessie exclaimed. "I know, and it's just you and me. We will dance together. It's our one shot at the spotlight." He said, smiling humbly and kissing her sweetly on the cheek. They joined hands and walked together down the street. "Blehh....." Meowth said, trying to ignore them in his jealousy. "Hey, James." "Hmm?" "Should we tell the twerps about this?" Jessie asked. "No; they would probably laugh at us..." James said. "If they really care, they can find out for themselves." "Yeah, you're right." Jessie said. So this would be their little secret, private spotlight time for Team Rocket, and nothing to get in the way.
