Alright! Fourth book already! Anyway, here's a brief summary of what's happened in the previous books in case you forgot:

Possessed: Our "heroes" recieved a box that Giovanni gave them. Meowth breaks it by mistake and it possesses James, and he turns from the James we know and love to a cold-blooded killer with dark powers. He nearly kills Misty and Jessie flees with Meowth into the forest. She meets Ash and he invites her to stay with him, knowing something is wrong. A fire breaks out in the house, and almost all of them get out. Jessie rushes back into the house to rescue Meowth, who is left unharmed. James finds them and attacks, and Misty is once again a victim. Jessie runs again, but James is too fast. The internal or "normal" James makes the outer James let Jessie go, but the outer James catches up with them again. Jessie admits her love as soon as the internal James is about to die, and the overwhelming emotion he feels rids his body of the evil spirit. Thinking it is too late, he runs and plans on suicide, but Jessie is still alive. Possessed ends on this cliffie.

R.C., Book one: James is still running, and Jessie sets out to find him. James is discoveredby the twerps and they set out to follow him as well. After running through a cave, James goes to the tower in Lavender Town and plans to throw himself from the window. The twerps rescue him, and he sets out again to kill himself. The Black Beauty sisters and Jaja, along with her assistant, Takuto, catch him and knock him through the air. James blasts off, and the blow to the head causes him to get amnesia.

R.C., Book Two: Jessie runs behind a tree crying and fails to see that Jessibelle has taken James back to his home. For some reason, he is warmly welcomed by his parents. When he falls asleep, he dreams about an angel losing her wings and color because her heartbreak caused this. James wants to find that woman in his dream, and when he takes a walk with Jessibelle he owns her with an awakened power: a navy light that made Jessibelle fly through the air. He finds Jessie and starts to remember. When Jessie is attacked by Takuto, James comes to the rescue and his memory comes flooding back.

R.C., Book Three: After Jaja reveals to James who he really is, he runs back only to run into Sheshe and Mimi. Sheshe sings him the song he is supposed to have as his own, and Giovanni adds a new member to the team, an eleven-year-girl named Janet. It is discovered that Janet possesses special powers. Sheshe tells James that Jessie is the princess and hands him a locket and an ebony flute. Inside the locket he finds another song, that was a bit of a chant, and Meowth lets it slip that Jessie and James love eachother. A year passes. James has been hiding something from Jessie and he says they need to talk.

James let Jessie into a nearby closet and made sure the door was closed.

Jessie bit back a sob, bracing herself for another heartbreak. Why? she asked herself. Why is he doing this? WHY ARE WE SPLITTING UP? James and I are perfect for each other... why does this have to happen?

James locked the door and faced Jessie. "Alright, Jessie, I- AHHHH!!" James cried out in pain as Jessie pushed him against the wall and shot him one of the most genuine begging looks he had ever seen from her. The ONLY genuine begging look he had ever seen her give him.

"Don't break up with me..." Jessie whispered quietly, blinking back tears.

If Jessie weren't nearly cracking his ribs as she held him a foot off the ground, James would have laughed. "What? You thought that I was going to break up with you? Why did you think-"

"DUH," Jessie gave him a "how the hell do you survive with a mind that small?" look. "We need to talk. Universal break-up line!"

"Uhm... ooohhh," James chuckled a bit, still off the ground. "Yeah. Sorry. I forgot about that..."

Jessie blinked in confusion, then let him go. "Sooooo... you're not breaking up with me...?" Jessie let out a sigh of relief.

James nodded. "Quite the opposite, my dear-" he shifted and a broom fell down at his feet. "Uhhhhhhhh... I'll pick that up." He kneeled down and tried to prop up the broom. It clocked him on the head. "Owwww..." he moaned, rubbing his sore noggin. "Alright," he said, still on his knees and failing to put the broom back up, "there's something I wanted to ask you. It has to do with that thing that I showed Meowth."

Jessie smiled. "So this is the 'big day'? What's so big about being in a closet with an attractive goof getting owned by a broom he knocked down?"

"You'll see -ow!- once I get this -ow!- stupid broom -ow!- up..." James sighed. "This is much -OW!- harder than I -ow!- thought..."

"I didn't know you could think without a brain," Jessie joked.

James laughed. "You've -ow!- never been one for -ow!- nice comments, Jessie," he smiled as the broom finally stood up. "You know that time I was away for a few days?"

Jessie nodded.

"I went home and broke off my 'enagement' to that leech," James smiled, obviously recalling something funny. "You should've seen her! She was in the emo corner for at least three weeks straight. My mom and dad were there in the corner with her, sobbing."

Jessie laughed. "Nice. It's about time, but what does it have to do with me?"

"Well, you're about to find out." James dug into his pocket.

"James, really. Why bother getting an advance on something so small it could fit in your pocket?" Jessie asked. "I mean, you aren't getting paid for at least three..." Jessie gasped as she saw what James had hid from her for many weeks.

"Marry me, Jessica."

"Oh James..." Jessie smiled and took off her glove, putting the ring on her finger. "I will!" she shouted, pretty much tackling him and giving him a hug.

"AMBUSH!!!" James laughed, wrapping his arms around his future bride, who started to cry tears of pure joy. Who knew some absent-minded comment made by furball with additude could lead to this? Who knew that it would change her life?

"Well, we better tell them the news," James got up, recovering from his broom injuries. He tried to open the door and then remembered he locked it. He laughed nervously, and opened the door after unlocking it.

"SHE SAID YES!!!" Meowth lept onto James' shoulder and rubbed his James' cheek with his. "Congrats!"

Janet's eye twitched. She looked far from congratgulating James. "She what??" she hissed. "Don't you care about your role in the-" she stopped herself when she remembered Jessie was still there. "Uhhhh..."

James winced. "That doesn't mean I can't love her, Janet," he hissed, narrowing his eyes. "What does a stupid locket mean anyway? I'm human, just like her..." he glanced at Jessie. At least, for the time being, he added silently.

"Locket...?"Jessie asked. She shrugged. Grabbing his hand, she silently prayed to Aqua Regina that her fiance was Mizurio.
