Finally they arrived at Mt Moon. Butch, who was driving, pulled the car over out the front of the entrance. Kelly, who had been tense the entire way there, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw other Rocket members waving to them from the outside.
Cassidy turned around in her seat to look at them in the back.
"Look, we totally were supposed to go to Cerulean City to pick up some supplies, but we had to go out of our way to get you two and we were wondering if you would be so kind as to go to Cerulean for us, I'm sure it wouldn't take long and we would totally appreciate it."
Ned opened his mouth to deny to request, but Kelly beat him to it.
"Oh, sure, we would love to go!" she said, flashing Cassidy a brilliant smile, "After all, you totally put yourselves out to go and get us, we wouldn't want Butch to have to drive any further, right Ned?" she smiled at Ned, who looked back at her with a bewildered expression. "Besides, we owe you a favour now don't we?" Kelly laughed lightly, keeping the charming smile.
"Oh how kind, thank you soooo much, just go to the Pokemart, they'll be expecting you," said Cassidy as the four of them got out of the car. "Butch! Hand her the keys." She snapped at her partner. Butch tossed the keys to Kelly, and they left, Cassidy giving them a friendly wave. Kelly returned her Jolteon to its pokeball then ran around to the driver's side and jumped in. Ned reluctantly climbed into the passenger side.
"I thought you didn't like people who fake smiled?" he asked, eyebrows raised. "Let me guess, it's all part of your grand plan."
Kelly punched the dashboard. "You look into everything too much.
You're always so suspicious, nothing gets passed you."
"Your not exactly hard to figure out." Ned replied.
"Sometimes Ned, you give me the creeps." Kelly started the engine and pulled the car back onto the road. "Oh how KIND," she said, imitating
Cassidy, "thank you sooo much, I'm sooo fake, I'm sooo sweet, I'm
sooo evil."
"Kelly, I think you should calm down."
"Calm? I am calm. Why wouldn't I be calm? They tried to kill us, but its okay, we'll take the car, we won't stop. We'll keep going to Vermillion City, we'll catch a boat, we'll go to the next country, we'll be safe there." Kelly gripped the wheel so tight, her knuckles began to turn white.
"Kelly you're overreacting, even for you. Besides, don't you think if they wanted to kill us they would have planted a bomb in the car?
Or something equally ridiculous?"
"Way ahead of you Ned, I had Magneton scan the car before, no bombs detected."
Ned sighed and looked out the window. Kelly drove fast, squealing the tires around the corners. She seemed to be enjoying herself at least.
"Have you even got a licence?" Ned asked her.
"Of course I've got a bloody licence! What the hell did you ask that for?" Kelly glared at him.
"Never mind. Watch the road!" Ned grabbed the dashboard dramatically.
"How insulting," Kelly said, "I'd like to see your driving, you wouldn't even know how to steer a Lapras. I'll have us there in no time."
"So we are going to Cerulean then?"
"Well yes, until I figure out what to do."
Ned sighed again, and they were silent for the rest of the journey.
