Raiting: PG13(it has served us well so far…)
Category: Yes! It's even more romance! What can I say… we're hopeless.
Disclaimer: Why would we even wanna own them? Sure, we could make this into a TV eps, we would be making lots of cash…*sigh* So no reason to even wanna own them.
Authors' note:
*sweatdrop* We really don't know how to quit, do we? *shakes her head* Nope. It's just so much fun writing this, I don't wanna finnish it off! But there are people who might wanna have an ending at some point. Look, let's make a deal. We actually write a decent ending for this story and after that, we can start writing Never Ending Story, just for ourselves. Ok? *sigh* Oh, alright. Just… I'm not gonna finish this in this chapter, not yet. Speaking of this chapter and mushy romance… there are few points that I… Remind me to kill you later, ok? *innocent* Why would you want to kill me? *sweetly* Yes, let's all think about it… why on earth would I want to kill you? Any ideas, sweetnes?Falling in (a hole)
Part 11:
"I'm supposed to be the major character!"Lani comes out of the bathroom, her hair a bit damp.
Mondo gets up from the bed.
Lani: The shower is now all yours.
Mondo:*smiles* I 'll see you in a few minutes.*gives a quick kiss then goes into the bathroom*
Lani walks to the dresser, spritzes some perfume on and then begins to search for a certain pair of earrings.
James:*sits up, sees Lani humming to herself* Uh.. Morning?
Lani:*looks up at James, puts on the Southern accent*Oh, mohnin Jahmes. How did ya sleep?
James:*shaking Jessie* Jessie! She's still talking like that!
Jessie:*opens one eye* James? It's not even noon yet. Go back to sleep.*closes her eyes*
James: If you say so. If it'll make her talk normal again.*lies back down and closes his eyes*
Lani shrugs and continues her humming and search. She picks out a pair of earrings, then sees a necklace. Mondo comes out of the bathroom. Lani turns around and walks over to him.
Lani: Could you do me itty bitty favor? Put his on for me?*hands Mondo the necklace, turns around and lifts up her hair*
Mondo: Sure.*puts the necklace on and at the same time smells Lani's hair* What shampoo did you use?
Lani:*turns around* The coconut stuff..
Mondo: Are they up yet?*glances at Jessie and James*
Lani: Well.. James did get up but then he went back to sleep after I said "Mohnin Jahmes, how did ya sleep?". I guess it freaked him out.*grins mischieviously*
Mondo:*puts his arms around Lani's waist* You do know how to scare him..and we know how to gross them out..
Lani:*puts her arms around Mondo's neck* Oh yeah..*inches closer so that their noses are touching*
Jessie:*sits up and rubs her eyes* Oh, get a room!*lays back down and pulls the covers over her head*
Mondo: Oh well..*shrugs* Where were we?
Lani:*quickly kisses Mondo* We were going to go get breakfast.*lets go and goes to put her shoes on*
Mondo: If you insist.
Lani:*not looking up from her shoes* Of course I do. I'm hungry.
Ash&co. were eating breakfast. Wind was giving Brock the silent treatment for now. She might talk to him when they go to look for her pokémons, but only what is needed to be said.
Ash: So what do I say when we go up to distract the Rockets?
Misty: You say nothing. YOU stay quiet. Blizzard and I will do the talking.
Ash: Oh.. Why?
Blizzard: Just, do as we say, and you'll be fine. No questions.
Ash: Okay..
Misty: And if we tell you to do something, you do it without any objections or questions asked.
Ash: Alright..
Wind:*getting up* I'll see you guys alittle bit later. I have to go to the room quickly. I'll meet you in the lobby in a half an hour.
Misty: Okay. Bye..
Wind leaves the table.
Brock:*making sure that Wind can't hear him* Okay, what have I done wrong now?
Blizzard: My guess is that it was something you didn't do..
Misty: What did you two do last night?
Brock: Nothing. We just fell asleep in each others arms.
Misty: Alright.. and you didn't kiss her or anything?
Brock: No. At least I don't think so.
Blizzard: What did you dream about?
Brock: Well... um.. Nurse Joy kissed me.. it felt so real, as if she really did..
Misty: Well, I really think you should go after her.
Brock: Really?
Blizzard: Listen to the little lady. And although this disgusts me when I say this, but surprise her.
Brock: Surprise her? Like.. make a move?
Blizzard: Yeah..
Brock: Right, I'll go after her right now.*leaves a plate half full of food behind as he rushes to catch up with Wind*
Blizzard:*muttering to himself* I can't believe I just told him to do that..
Misty: Oh, you'll live..*takes Brock's plate closer to her and starts eating Brock's food* *she looks up to see Blizzard and Ash staring at her* What? I'm hungry..
Brock runs to the elevator. He makes it just in time to get in the same one with Wind.
Brock:*breathless* I'm glad I caught you.
Wind just stonily stares at him.
Brock: Okay, don't answer, but there's something I need to do..
Wind:*can't help herself and becomes curious* What?
Brock: This..*takes Wind into his arms and kisses her*
Wind struggles to get out from Brock's grip, but without any success. She gives Brock a good push, he just stops the kiss.
Brock: What?
Wind: What was that for?
Brock:*blushing* Well.. I.. I really really like you. And..
Wind: Oh.. well.. um..
Brock kisses Wind again, and this time won't let go even though Wind does struggle in the beginning, then lets herself get lost in the kiss.
Brock: So, am I forgiven?
Wind: Yeah..
Brock: Great..*kisses Wind again and again*
Half an hour later Ash, Misty and Blizzard are waiting in the lobby.
Ash: They're late! Someone should go and get them.
Blizzard:*looking slightly ill*I definitely won't.
Misty: We have all the time we need. We can wait.
Ash: But...
Misty: We can wait, Ash!
Ash:*looks at Misty unhappily* Why is everyone bossing me around? I'm supposed to be the major character!
Just then Wind and Brock walk to the lobby holding hands.
Ash: Finally! What have you been doing?!
Blizzard:*quickly* We don't need to know.
Wind:*looks at her brother* Oh, really?*evil grin*
She turns around, wraps her arms around Brock's neck and kisses him.
Blizzard: Aaaargh! Have some mercy! I think I just go to throw up...
Mondo and Lani are walking to the dining room, when they see Ash&co in the lobby.
Mondo: I don't see your sister around...
Lani: She has probably left, if she got things taken care around here.
Mondo: Ok.
They see twerps leaving the hotel&casino.
Mondo:*not too excited* You think we should follow them?
Lani: I guess we should.
They both stand there for a moment.
Mondo: But we're not?
Lani:*smiling* Well, I can think of better ways to spend my day...
Mondo:*brightens up* Oh, ok.
Two young Rockets head for breakfast.
Ash, Misty and Blizzard enter the house with prize pokémons.
The man: Ah, you're back. Got lucky at Casino?
Blizzard:*lets out a deep sigh* No not really.
The man:*smiling* I'm sorry to hear. I hope this hasn't effected your faith in our Casino.
Blizzard: Oh, no, not at all. I believe that if I play long enough, I must get lucky at some point...
The man: That's the spirit. But, if I may ask, what are you doing here? If you haven't won anything, that is.
Misty: Well, you remember his poor sister, don't you?
The man: Yes, the little bit*pause* weird lady.
Blizzard: Just say crazy, I won't be hurt.
Misty: Anywayz, she really liked that butterfree, so, to keep her happy, we desided to buy it.
Blizzard takes out a huge bag of small coins.
Blizzard: Now, let me just count the right amounth...
The man is sweatdropping heavily.
Brock and Wind had gotten into the backroom. It's very dark but they have flashlights with them.
Brock:*looking around* There must be thousands pokémons here...
Wind: Yeah. This is gonna take hella longer time than we expected.
Brock: Just hope Misty and Blizzard keep the Rockets busy long enough.
Meanwhile Blizzard was still counting the coins. The man behind the desk looked most bored.
Misty: Here, let me help*she "accidentaly" pushes of the table half of his money* Ups! Sorry...
Blizzard:*shugs* It's ok. I'll just have to start over.
The man looks horrified.
Ash: Hey, didn't you mention you have some rare pokémons as well?
The man:*brightens up a little* Yes, young sir, we have.
Misty and Blizzard look at Ash in horror.
Ash: Oh, boy! I'd really like to see some!
The man: Why of course. I'll go and get.
He walks into the backroom.
Ash:*notices Misty and Blizzard looking at him very angry* What?!
Mondo and Lani are enjoying thei breakfast and each other, when Lani's cellphones rings.
"Ring, ring, ring! Phone call, phone call! Ring, ring, ring! Phone call, phone call!"
Lani:*picks up her phone* Hello...
A very loud voice is heard from the other end of the line. Lani listens carefully and then closes the phone.
Mondo: What was it?
Lani: An alarm. Someone has gotten into our pokémon storage. Giovanni wants all available Rockets there.
Mondo: Well, that's ok. We're very busy with other stuff, aren't we?
Lani:*touches Mondo's cheek* I'd sure like to, but...*she lets out a sigh*
Mondo:*gets up* Fine. Do we have to wake Jessie&James up?
Lani: No, the Boss will take care of that.
She gets up as well.
Lani:*muttering mostly to herself* I wonder who on Earth...*her eyes grew very wide* Oh shit!
Mondo: What??
Lani: I think someone we know is in troubles.*runs out*.
Jessie, James and Meowth were still sleeping peacefully, when they were rudely woken up by phone call.
Jessie:*angrily* Who is it and what do you want?!?
Giovanni: Is that away to speak to your Boss?!
Jessie:*scared* Boss???
The whole Team jumps up, wearing their full uniforms.
All: We're ready, sir!
Giovanni: Good. You should be. Now, get to the pokémonstorage and see that the people responsible for all this trouble, pay for it!
All: Yes, sir!
The phone closes.
James: You have any ideas what's going on?
Jessie: None, whatsoever.
Mondo and Lani has sneaked in to the storage room, after distragting about 5 other Rockets.
Mondo:*little worried* You do know we'll get in troubles 'cause if this?
Lani: Yes, I know.
Mondo: Ok, so could you explain why we are doing this?
Lani: Shh!
They stop on their tracks to listen.
A female voice: We're not gonna get out from here.
A male voice: Of course we will.
A female voice: No, we won't. Not with my pokémons, at least.*sigh*. Well, at least we could use some light. Fireflower, go!
Mondo: Fireflower? Wait, wasn't that one of Wind's...
The room is suddenly light up by Arcanine. The four teenagers stand there staring at each others.
Wind:*surprised* Lani?!*coldly* What are you doing here?
Lani: I was send here to see who would be stupid enough to try to steal from Team Rocket
Wind:*puts her hand in Arcanines fur* Well, it's funny what some people do for they're friends. And they are my friends. Not that you'd understand anything about friendship.
Lani: What?!? Why you little witch!
Brock:*wraps his arms around Wind's waist* You leave her alone!
Mondo: Um, Lani? Calm down a little, please...?
Lani: Calm down?!? My friend just insulted me and you want me to...
Wind: Friend? No. I think you have new friends by now.
Lani stares at Wind. Then she sats down on a box and rests her head in her hands.
Lani:*muttering* Fine...
Wind looks at her for a moment and then turns around.
Wind: C'mon, Brock, we need to get out from here.
Mondo sits down next to Lani and puts his arm around her.
Mondo: Sweety... I don't wanna critcise, but... *sigh* you did kinda nasty thing to her...
Lani: It was for my career! If she was my real friend she'd understand!
Mondo: Would you understand if some did that to you?
Lani: Of course. I... I...*lets out a deep sigh and leans her head against his shoulder* I didn't think she would take it so hard.
Mondo: Are you sorry that you did it?
Lani: No!*pause* Maybe.*very quietly* Yes.
Mondo: Why don't you tell it to her? Then we can help them out of this mess and put this all behind. I hate to see you upset.
Lani: Thanks, Mondo*gives him a kiss*. *determined* Now, let's go and sort this out.
Misty: You idiot!*hits Ash with her mallet*
Ash: Ow! What did I do now?*rubs his head*
Blizzard: How can you be so dense? All we told you was to keep your mouth shut!
Misty: Now look what did! Now Wind and Brock have their chances of getting out gone from possible to slim&nil.
Ash: I'm sorry! But I didn't think!
Blizzard:*sighs* That's your problem, you don't think.
Ash: Misty, you aren't going to hit me again are you?
Misty: Well.. no.. no, wait a sec! I will.*hits Ash twice with the mallet* There, that made me feel a little bit better.
Blizzard: Well, I guess I have to count the money still to get Wind's butterfree..*starts counting the coins*
Jessie and James arrive at the casino to find Blizzard and Misty counting small coins and Ash rubbing his head. Team Twerp doesn't notice them.
Jessie:*whispering to James* This could be our chance to get Pikachu!
James: Good idea. But where is it?
Jessie: Umm... well, it's not with them..
Meowth: Dat's enough. First we sort dis out here, den we go and capture Pikachu..
Jessie: Right, our first responsibility is to the Boss. Then we can try to get the Pikachu..
James: Oh well..
Lani and Mondo walk up to Wind and Brock.
Lani: Um, Wind...
Wind:*turns to look at her* Yes?
Lani: I... I'm...
Wind: Doublecrossing traider?
Lani: What?!?
Mondo:*looking very uneasy* Uh, you might wanna keep it quiet girls. We really don't need anyone else here...
Brock: No one needed you here.
Mondo: To me, it sure looks like you could use a hand.
Wind: We wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't...
Lani: Look, I'm sorry ok?!? It's not like I liked doing it!!
Wind: But you did it.
Lani: Yes! So, I made a mistake. I take it you're miss perfect?!
Brock: She is...
Wind: People make mistakes, yes. But you need to put some things in onder in your life and you choose what you value. I guess my mistake was to think our friendship had some value.
Lani: It had. Once.
Wind: Yes, once, years ago. Jessie was right...
Lani: About what?!
Wind: I don't know you anymore, not like I used to. I was able to tell you everything...
Lani: You still could.
Wind: How?
They stand there looking at each other.
Wind:*lowers her eyes* We need to find a way out.
Lani: Then let's do!
Brock&Wind: Huh?
Lani:*rolling her eyes* Why do you think I'm here? If I wanted to argue with some one, I could have just went and talked to Jessie.*smile*
Blizzard and Misty are concentrating counting the coins, Ash's just looking around.
Ash:*suddenly* Wait a sec! It's Team Rocket!
Jessie: That's right, twerp! Now hand over Pikachu!
Meowth: You lamebrain idiots! Dat's not why we're here!!
James: Oh, right...
Ash:*looks puzzeled* You're not here to capture Pikachu?
Jessie: No, not at the moment.
The man behind the desk gestures them to go to backroom.
Brock: Ok, what do we do?
Lani: Let me get this situation straight first.
Wind: And we're supposed to trust you?
Lani: You don't have to. It just feels like you don't have many choises.
Mondo: She's right.
Wind: *sigh* Fine. This place is full of Rockets. I have five of my pokémons, Bliz should be getting Summerjoy, unless your team mates don't interfere.
Mondo and Lani look at each other.
Mondo: They will.
Brock: Great...
Lani: So, we need to get Summerjoy and run very very fast?
Wind: You know I'm not good running.
Mondo: I have my jeep.
Lani: Ok. I say Mondo sneaks out, gets the car outside this place and in meantime, we brust in to the front room, grab your pokémon and run to Mondo's car.
Mondo: Can any of you drive.
They shake their heads.
Mondo: That means we'll have to come along for some way.
Brock: Seems so.
Lani: Well, what are you waiting for Mondo? Get going.
Mondo: Yes, ma'm!
In the front room, situation is getting pretty tensed.
The man: You can collect your money. We won't sell to you.
Blizzard: What?!?
The man: You heard right. Now: OUT!
At this moment Brock, Wind and Lani rush in.
Jessie: Lani? Where's Mondo?
Meowth: Ya got the trouble makers! Da Boss will love us!
Ash: What's going on?
Lani: Bliz, get that damned butterfree!
Blizzard: Roger that*grabs the pokéball*
James: Lani?
Jessie: What the hell do you think you're doing?!?
Lani:*running out with the others* Can't talk now, darlings. See ya later!
Jessie, James and Meowth stare after them.
The man: Get after them!!
Jessie: You're trying to tell us what to do?!?!
The man: The boss would say the same thing!
Meowth: But yer not da Boss!!
James: No one else bosses me around but Jessie and Meowth!
Jessie:*pulls out her mallet* Take care of your own business!*whacks the man*
They walk out fuming.
Jessie, James are in the hotel room(Lani's note: once again, I mean why on earth are they always there??) sitting down and fuming. Mostly at the man at the counter for bossing them around. Or trying to at least. And Lani, who else?
Jessie: I still can't believe she betrayed us like that!
James: I thought she was a real Rocket now.
Jessie: She is a real Rocket! That's what's pissing me off right now! That she would do this to us!
James: Oh..
Meowth: Dat's it. Da Boss is gonna find out, and den we are really screwed. We are da responsible ones!
Jessie: You think I don't know that! He's going to be very mad and separate us..
James: I don't want to be separated from you!!
Meowth: Well, we just have to dink of some way to get Lani away and still keep us togeder, right?
Jessie: Right, now if we could just get that Pikachu..
Lani and the rest are safely in Mondo's convertible, speeding away on the highway.
Lani: Whoo-hoo! We actually did it! We friggin did it!
Mondo: Of course we did, you always succeed.
Lani: I know..*turning around to face Wind* So?
Wind:*pulling a piece of hair out of her face* So?
Lani: So! You got your pokémons back. You probably never will have to see Jessie and James again.. unless you of course insist on hanging around Ash the Idiot and the rest of them.
Ash:*indignantly* Hey!
Lani: What?
Ash: You just called me an idiot!
Lani: So? You are one. I call 'em like I see 'em.
Brock:*whispering so that Ash can't hear but the rest can* Well.. he is sort of dense..
Lani: Sort of? Whatever..*turns around again to face the front*
In Giovanni's office. Giovanni has just decided to make a phone call..
Jessie: Hello?
Giovanni: What happened today?
Jessie: Oh Boss! Well.. someone broke into the storage room where all of teh pokémons are kept..
Giovanni:*getting annoyed* I know that. Why didn't you catch the thieves who went in there?
Jessie: Well.. um.. we.. I mean, Lani..
Giovanni: Hold on a second.*turning around to see who disturbed him* What is it?
A Rocket: There's someone to see you. She says it's very important..
Giovanni: Important?! Can't you see I'm in the middle of a phone call?!
A Rocket: I tried to tell her that you're busy at the moment but she wouldn't..*interrupted by Lani banging the door open and walking up to Giovanni's desk* listen.
Giovanni:*to the Rocket* Go away!*to Lani* What now? I have enough trouble with your sisters, what do you want?
Lani: I want my own partner. No more working with Jessie and James.
Jessie:*echoing from the reciever* No James! I'm on the phone with the Boss! That can wait! I mean it!
Lani: Oh really?*grins evilly* Well, to me it sounds like they'd rather be doing something else.
Giovanni: Yes, they happen to ba a very difficult pair, but they won't work with anyone else.
Lani: Let me guess, no one else can put up with them for more than 10 minutes?
Giovanni: Forget about Jessie and James. Now why should I give you your own partner?
Lani: For one, I'll tell my sister what you really are like and do for a living. She still thinks that you
just run a normal company..*laughs* She's a bit dense..
Giovanni: I take it that you don't mean Saraphina.
Lani: Of course I don't. She knows who you are. She knows what you do. Just like me.*her grin gets bigger and more evil* Now if you don't let me have my way.. well then sister dear will get the shock of her life and probably die from it. Now we wouldn't want that now would we?
Giovanni:*noticing that Lani has a point* No we wouldn't..
Lani:*realizing she hit a weak spot* Well, then.. give me my own partner. Or I'll call Celine on the spot. Y'see I have her on speed dial..*takes her cell phone out*
Giovanni: Alright. But there are conditions.
Lani: There always are with you, aren't there?
Giovanni:*ignoring Lani* One: You'll have to change your name into something more suitable for a Rocket member.
Lani:*looking bored* yuh-huh..
Giovanni: Two: No dating. And absolutely no boyfriends already. Three: That outfit, you have to change it. It sticks out from the rest.
Lani: Well, duh! That's why I'm keeping my outfit like this. No way do I want to look like the rest of the Team Rocket females!
Giovanni: Well, it's your desicion. The outfit goes or you'll be stuck with Jessie and James forever.
Lani: How about if we do it like this. The outfit stays. I dump my current boyfriend.
Giovanni: Well.. if you put it that way..
Lani: And my sister won't find out about you..
Giovanni: Alright. You'll get your own partner in a week. The time until then..
Lani:*interrupting* Is for a vacation. Thank you!*practically skips ot of the room*
Giovanni:*muttering to himself* I can't believe I'm being blackmailed by a fifteen year old.*Jessie screeches* *Giovanni realizes that Jessie is still on the phone* Jessie?
Jessie: Yes sir?
Giovanni: I'll get back to you later on this subject. But for now you can rejoice. Lani will no longer be with you and James.
Jessie: What? Oh thank you sir!
Giovanni hangs up the phone. He shakes his head.
Giovanni:*sighs* Pesky little things, that Lani and Saraphina. But smart. It's a good thing that most of the Rockets are a bit more denser like Jessie and James. They're easier to brainwash.
Ash, Misty, Brock, Wind, Blizzard and Mondo(isn't there a shorter way to say it's them?!?) have found a small(Guess what! Yes, that's right...) hotel room! Wind is sitting on the floor, her pokémons around her. She's hugging them and giving them kisses and telling them how muuuuuuuch she missed them.
Blizzard:*shaking his head* She needs professional help...
Misty: She's just happy to have them back.
Blizzard:*rolling his eyes* Whatever.*pause* Hey, sis!*no response* Wind!*no reaction* Yo, Flash!
Wind's Pikachu, Flash, turns around.
Flash: Cha?^What?^
Blizzard:*smiles* Tell your little mistress that I'm the one who haven't seen you guys in long time.
Flash: Pika- pi- pika- chu!^Wind, I think your brother wants to see us too.^
Wind: Huh?*notices Blizzard looking* Oh, right...*gets up*
Blizzard: Nice of you to notice me*picks up Flash* How've you been, little fellow?
Flash:^What's your ankle?^
Blizzard:*looking shocked*Just happy to see you! Something wrong with that?
Flash gives him look saying yeah-right.
Blizzard:*putting the electric mouse down*Still doesn't trust me! Well, Moondance, you'll say hello to me, won't you?
Moondance: War-tortle!^Of course^
Blizzard: See? Now this is what I was expecting, some trust...
Wind:*shakes her head, smiling* You're impossible.
Blizzard:*holding up wartorle* I wanted to say hi to your pokémons, before I take off again.*to Moondance* Boy, you're heavy.
Moondance: Tortle!^Am not!^
Misty: You're gonna leave?
Blizzard: Yeah. I have my own jorney.
Wind: I take it you don't want me to come along?
Blizzard: Hell no!!! Uh, I mean, nice of you to ask and...
Wind:*smiling* I understand.*she walks to him and gives him a hug* Take care, won't you?
Blizzard: Sis, people are watching...
Misty laughs to his expression. Just at the moment Lani enters.
Wind: Well...?
Lani: What?
Wind: How was your Boss?
Lani: I think he was feeling quite alright, but nice of you to ask.
Wind gives her an evil glare.
Mondo:*walks to Lani and wraps his arms around her* Sweety, you know what she ment...
Lani:*sigh*Yes, yes... I'm here, so he didn't kill me. He even let me have an own partner.
Ash: So you won't be with Jessie and James anymore?
Lani: No, I won't. That's what getting my own partner means.
Mondo:*looking a bit worried* Who is he?
Lani: I don't know, yet.
Wind:*looking at two of them* To a complite different subject... Are you two an item?
Mondo: Yes.
Lani:*at the same time* No.
Mondo:*looks at Lani confused* No? But I thought that...
Lani: You thought wrong.
Mondo looks hurt. He lets his arms drop.
Mondo:*muttering* I'll go and get some fresh air...
He leaves the room.
Wind:*gives Lani questoning eyebrow* Ok... what was that?
Lani: Nothing.
Wind: Bulls'. You're not gonna tell me?
Lani: No.*looking at Brock* But I might change information...
Wind: Oh...*blush*. *gets up* Private.
They leave the room.
Ash, Misty and Brock look at Blizzard who's still arguing with Wind's pokémons.
Brock: So, you guys wanna grab some food?
Ash: Sure!
To Be Continue…
Tomorrow: part 12! The final chapter to this great saga! Yay. Aren't you excited? Well, tell us what you think, ok?
