After fully admiring her pink dominated room, she took a shower and found her closet was stocked with her Team Rocket outfits. She smiled, changed and headed downstairs for lunch. As she took the elevator down, she jerked in remembrance.

"Oops! I forgot to wait for Kojiro and Nyasu! Oh well, I'll probably see them downstairs."

Once she reached the ground floor, she exited and wandered down a hallway to the right hoping to find a sign pointing to the cafeteria. She found a map posted on one of the walls and began to study it. She had just barely found where she currently was on the map when she was interrupted.

"First time?" a voice behind her asked and Musashi jumped a mile high. She turned to glare at a brown haired Team Rocket male member with brown eyes.

"Don't sneak up on me like that!" she growled.

The man merely smiled at her and said, "I'll take that as a 'yes'. If you want, you can follow me to the cafeteria."

He began walking a bit forward, encouraging Musashi to follow. "My name is Hatori."

"Musashi," she responded, following after him while giving him an unsure eye. They made small talk with each other while walking down the hall. Suddenly, a black haired, blue eyed male Team Rocket member joined them from the rear.

"Yo Hatori!" he greeted. He slapped Hatori on the back and looked at Musashi curiously. "Who's your pretty friend?"

Musashi blushed, offering a shy smile.

"This is Musashi," Hatori answered, stretching his arm towards Musashi, which she evaded slightly. "She's new here."

"Awesome," the black-haired man answered. "My name is Makaze. Looks like we're a pair of M names!" He clapped her on the shoulder and they stopped at the entrance to the cafeteria. Musashi took a moment to admire the size of the cafeteria with tables everywhere and high definition televisions mounted on the walls.

"Do you want to eat with us?" Hatori asked. Musashi was just about to respond when she spotted a familiar female Team Rocket member.

"Yamato?" Musashi called.

The familiar Team Rocket member with golden hair turned to look at who had called her name. "Musashi?" she replied, noticing her. "You're here too?" she added with a tone of disgust. Yamato looked at Musashi's two male escorts. "Aren't you Miss Popular?" she added. She began to walk off when Musashi had the urge to stick to familiar faces. Plus, she had so many questions to ask her. Musashi turned to the two men she met.

"Thanks for everything, but I'll be OK with her," she said to them, rather relieved. Hatori and Makaze shrugged their shoulders. "Suit yorself. See you around Musashi!"

Musashi ran off to join an annoyed looking Yamato.

"Where's your lavender-haired partner anyway? Wouldn't you rather bother him?" she asked.

"Musashi!"

Musashi turned to see an angry, but hurt looking Kojiro stomping towards her with Nyasu speed walking to catch up.

"Kojiro," Musashi said, full of relief.

"Why didn't you wait for us?!" he pouted. "I thought we were supposed to be a team!"

"I-I'm sorry," Musashi stammered. "I got caught up in this place and-"

"Enough already, you two!" Nyasu growled. "I'm starving!"

Musashi and Kojiro looked at Nyasu and Musashi looked back at Kojiro apologetically.

"Why don't you two go first and I'll get us a table." she said.

Kojiro finally smiled at her. He headed for one of the food lines as Nyasu headed for the Pokemon section. Kojiro was just about to slide his tray to the first food selection when he stopped just behind the two men who had earlier walked with Musashi.

"So what do you think of new girl, Musashi?" asked Hatori.

"She's a total babe," replied Makaze.

"That's for sure, who do you think she's partnered with?"

"Beats me, let's hope she doesn't have one."

"Yeah, I would love to be partnered with her. He-he-he"

Kojiro blushed furiously. He slammed down his tray, demonstrating his anger. The other two turned to look at him. He was bristling with fury. "If you two are not going to pick from the choices in front of you, I suggest you keep moving!" he growled. Hatori and Makaze looked at each other in amusement. Then, they turned back to Kojiro.

"I don't recall you being here before," Hatori said.

"Yeah," retorted Makaze, circling around Kojiro. "Looks like you don't know who you're talking to."

"Let's show him this once," Hatori said, grabbing Kojiro by his shirt, pulling him to him. Kojiro grabbed at Hatori's grip, trying to free himself. "Yes, I am new," Kojiro said, glaring at Hatori. "And I also happen to be Musa-"

"Kojiro! Is that you?"

All three turned to see a green haired man running towards them.

"Kosanji?" asked James, recognizing him as Yamato's partner.

"Ugh, the name is Kosaburo!" corrected Kosaburo. He sighed and continued. "Back off Hatori. He's with me."

"Whatever," Hatori said, releasing Kojiro. "Make sure you teach your new recruits about respect." Hatori began to walk off and Makaze followed after, casting a foul look at Kojiro before leaving.

"When did you get here?" Kosaburo asked.

"Um, just this morning," replied Kojiro, straightening out his shirt and getting back to his tray. "I didn't know you were here too. Is Yamato here as well?"

"Yeah, she's around here somewheres," said Kosaburo. "I'm guessing Musashi is here too."

"Well, we are partners" replied Kojiro.

He looked over to where Musashi was sitting. She was with Yamato, calmly talking. Kojiro smiled to himself and finished putting food on his plate.

"So, you and Kojiro just got here this morning, huh?" asked Yamato, feigning boredom.

"Yea," replied Musashi. Catching on to her attitude, she spat, "You know, now that I found Kojiro and Nyasu, you don't have to feel sorry for me and sit here. You're more than welcome to leave."

"Well sorry for trying to keep you company during your lonely hour." Yamato said, putting up her arms in surrender. "But judging by those two guys you were with earlier, I doubt you needed me anyway."

Before Musashi could retort, some girls passed by giggling. Musashi's and Yamato's attention was turned towards them.

"Hey, did you catch that new guy? What a cutie!"

"Yeah, his eyes are like sparkling emeralds!"

"I heard he always carries roses with him! How romantic!"

"I hope he gives me one of his roses!"

"I wonder if he has a partner already? I hope not!"

"Oh gosh, here he comes!"

Musashi turned her glare to see Kojiro walking towards her. She was surprised to see Kosaburo as well. Yamato turned her attention from Musashi's reaction to Kosaburo as well.

"There you are! Are you ready to go or what?!" Yamato barked.

"Yeah, yeah, hold your horses lady," Kosaburo said. "Musashi," he nodded curtly at her. Musashi nodded back.

"Well, it was nice chatting with you Musashi-chan!" Yamato sang towards Musashi. "Good seeing you Kojiro!" she said towards Kojiro.

They left them alone. Kojiro sat down across from Musashi and looked over at her. "Aren't you going to eat?" Musashi shook her head.

"Maybe later," Musashi said. "I'm not that hungry. Where's Nyasu?"

"I'm sure he's on his way," Kojiro replied. "You should really eat. It's been a while."

"I'm fine, Kojiro," warned Musashi. She turned a little in her seat to look around. "This place is amazing!" she cried. She turned to find Kojiro breaking his bread in half. He took the bigger half and handed to her. Musashi looked at the bread with annoyance plastered on her face. She finally took it with a smile, remembering the same motion she did for Kojiro years ago when they first joined Team Rocket. "Thanks." Kojiro blushed slightly and smiled at her.

Nyasu finally joined his two friends. "Is dis place the best or what?!"

"I guess so," said Kojiro. "I can't help but feel we don't deserve all this luxury. I feel like there's a catch to everything."

"Of coyse deres a catch numbskull!" Nyasu said. "I ran into some udder Team Rocket members who told me dat those who stay here are required to do local business for the boss. He's got a lotta tings going on around the area. So expect to be called on duty soon."

"Well, I don't mind getting back on the boss's good graces," said Musashi.

"Me neither," added Kojiro. He had just finished his food when he began to look around curiously. "So, what are we supposed to do after this?"

"Oh, this and that," Yamato replied from behind Kojiro. She and Kosaburo had come back. "Once you guys are done eating, I guess we can show you around."

"You're being awfully nice," said Musashi.

"In places like these, sometimes it's best to stick to familiarity," answered Yamato. "So don't take it like we're friends or anything."

"Believe me, I won't," growled Musashi.

"So is that a 'Yes'?" asked Kosaburo. He looked at Kojiro.

"That would be nice," replied Kojiro but he looked at Musashi who shrugged.

"I guess it can't hurt," Musashi said.

"What about you Nyasu?" asked Yamato to Nyasu.

"Nah, I'll find my own way around, thank you." Nyasu answered. "You humans go ahead."

"You sure, Nyasu?" asked Kojiro, unsure about leaving their Pokemon friend alone.

"Yea, yea," Nyasu answered. "I'm fine, go ahead."
