/What's up with those two?/ Ash wondered as he glanced at his watch for the umpteenth time. It was 6:37 and Ash's palms were sweating so much that Taiteki would have to swim up to him. He looked at them again.
"Man...Jesse and James are bad enough. Now *they* have to start at it too?" he whined. Brock held Misty's hand as he leaned down so she could whisper in his ear.
/They may share a bed, but this is the first time I've seen them act like this/ he thought, shaking his head. He didn't mind that they giggled together or held hands. He just wasn't used to it.
"K'so..." Brock breathed as his face turned different shades of red. Misty kept whispering in his ear and his eyes got as wide as they could get. Ash decided to mosey on over because he wanted to know what the juicy bit of info was.
"Ash ...Oi! Ash!"
He heard his name and, like the baka he was known to be, he turned in a complete circle before he saw the speaker. This caught Brock and Misty's attention. They stopped giggling and joined Ash and his guests.
"These are my friends," Taiteki said before introducing them. "That's Martie, Jeff, TK, Todd and Ian." They all smiled as their names were called.
"That's Brock and Misty. Oh, and I'm Ash," he said, taking a moment to present his friends.
"Don't we get an introduction?"
"Oh yeah...that's Jesse and James," Ash said 'enthusiastically', recognizing the voice immediately.
"Aren't you from Team Rocket?" Martie asked, eyeing James like he was a piece of candy. Jesse saw this and practically blew a fuse.
"We were too good for Team Rocket so -" Jesse started, stepping between Martie and James. She paused, not knowing how to finish the monster she'd created.
"So *we* left *them*," James finished for her. An air of confidence beamed around him. Martie cooed and pushed past Jesse. She put her hand on his chest and sighed.
"Wow, you must be *very*…'talented' then."
Jesse was about to explode and attack the girl.
/Who does that girl think she is?/ floated around Jesse's mind. The second she was about to start a war, James took Martie's hand off his chest and dropped it with a look of disgust.
"Gomen nasai, but you're groping a married man," James said with a twinkle in his eye. Martie looked disappointed. She shrugged it off and pranced over to Todd, her loyal boyfriend. He crossed his arms and looked the other way when she rubbed up against him. Only when the wind lifted her short skirt did he decide that she was too 'precious' to lose.
Jesse practically had a conniption.
"Wh-wh-what did you s-say," she stuttered. James dropped to his knee and pulled a fancy little box from one of his khaki's pockets.
"Heh heh heh heh," Jesse nervously giggled, then proceeded to fainted.
"Misty, tell me the outcome later," Ash whispered in her ear. "We're going now. I'll be back before curfew." Misty nodded and she shoed him off with her hand - never taking her eyes off the unconscious redhead.
Ash, Taiteki and co headed off into the midst of the carnival. As soon as they were a few booths in, the main group split. Ash and Taiteki headed down toward the Ferris Wheel. She entwined her arm around his and he blushed.
/This is gonna rock/ he thought, his grin growing even bigger as they disappeared into the crowd.
****
"Where am I," Jesse said groggily.
/Grass? Carnival Music? James, Misty, Brock? What's going on?/
She saw the little velvet box in James' hand and tried to get up to jump in his arms.
"Oh no you don't," Misty said, holding Jesse down.
"You need to stay. We don't want you to hurt yourself if you faint again," Brock added. James nodded and Jesse lay back, closing her eyes.
"You look beautiful with the grass and flowers in your hair," James said. Jesse smiled and gazed at him. Misty came over and gave both of them a hug. She walked back to Brock and they waved. As they left the happy couple, Brock put his arm around her shoulder.
"Now there's a sight I never thought I'd see," James said and kneeled again. Jesse grinned and reached to fiddle with his hair. He blushed and a silly grin plastered itself onto his face.
"Uh ...ja," he started, scratching his head. "I - ah...ai shiteru...yeah. I would've done this sooner but the whole Team Roc-"
Jesse shushed him by placing her finger across his lips and smiling. His silly grin came back and he blushed once more.
"Will you marry me?" James finally got out. Jesse eagerly flung her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Of course I will," she cooed and he put the ring on her finger. She hugged him and muttered something that sounded like 'Arigatou'. He placed her back on the grass and kissed her deeply.
"James," she said as she looked around nervously. "Not in the middle of public!" James shrugged, picked her up and carried her toward the dorms. She giggled at his strength and was delighted at the looks they got from passers-by.

His fingers tugged at the button of her shorts and she kissed him. He gently positioned her on the blue park bench and smiled as her back arched against the cold metal. He brushed flaming hair out of aqua eyes. He unbuttoned her shirt, causing her to wince at the coldness of his hands. She took off his orange shirt - she really thought they had thrown it away. She then unhooked her brock…
"Brock? Brock - daijobu desu ka? Your nose is bleeding," Misty asked, snapping him back to reality. He pinched his nose closed and blushed.
There she sat.
She had missed the last buttons of her aqua shirt causing her stomach to show. Her short shorts were exactly that: very short. They succeeded in covering nothing except the extremely important parts as she sat Indian style on the bench, facing him.
He felt ashamed.
There she was - so beautiful, sitting across from him...and here he sat - in his old orange shirt, brown cords and green vest, taking advantage of her in his mind.
He needed to tell her. She needed to know how much she meant to him. How deep his love for her was. That it wasn't her pretty face or stellar body that caused him to love her. Or the fact that they shared a bed and she slept in her skivvies ...although those helped. He loved her for her, not anything else and it had taken him three years to realize it himself.
"Konnichi wa? Are you in there?" Misty asked. Worry stitched itself to her voice and she waved her hand in front of her face.
"Oh…gomen," Brock said with a start. This time he came back to reality and stayed.
"Misty, I've got to tell you something," he said as he turned toward her and held her hands. She bit her lower lip.
/God, I love it when she does that/ he thought, melting on the spot into a puddle of liquid lust.
"You mean a lot to m-" Brock started, but was cut off by a loud explosion.
"What the hell was that," Misty murmured, not really expecting an answer. Fear streaked across her face and she practically jumped in his lap as a second explosion rang through the air.
"I have no clue," Brock answered, equally scared.
****
"James...*JAMES*! What was that?" Jesse asked. He flung off the blanket, jumped up, grabbed his robe and headed to the window.
"Whatever it was left part of the Ferris Wheel in flames," James said as Jesse joined his side, tying the belt to her robe.
"I can tell you one thing though," he said looking back out the window.
"What would that be?" she asked following his gaze.
"It wasn't us this time," he said, turning to meet her glare.
"WELL I KNOW THAT YOU BAKA!!!" Jesse yelled and she hit him repeatedly.
****
"Ash are you okay, you're pale as a ghost," Taiteki asked, trying not to smile.
"Yeah, daijobu," he answered, never taking his eyes off of the approaching hot air balloon. "You find your friends and get far away from here ...hurry! Don't get hurt." She laughed a silent, evil laugh before she left to find her 'friends'.
/I don't want to be around when they make their entrance/ she mentally noted and left. He watched her run toward the park on the other side of the carnival.
"No one's gonna believe this," he muttered as he looked back and saw the hot air balloon land. Oddly enough, it looked like a giant Meowth.
