Part 1.9

Jn&Jm: Aaaahhhh! *They looked at the food on the table with glittering eyes. Jessie watched as they both dove in grabbing what they could*

Jessie: Leave some for me....

James: We haven't had a lunch like this in ages!

Jen: MmmmMMM!! *She swallowed* That's right!

Jessie: Um, excuse me, Jennifer, but I need to tell you something important.

Jen: *with her mouth full* Mmm-hmmm...

Jessie: *she sighed* It's about my mum....

Jen: *she stopped chewing, dropped her knife and fork, turned to Jessie and gulped* Aunt Jo?!

James: Aunt Jo?

Jen: What is it?

Jessie: I found something about her, and why she disappeared.

Jen: *she slammed her hands on the table* You have to tell me!

Jessie: Ssshhhh! I'm not supposed to know this. Let's go somewhere else.

Jen: Alright. *They got up and turned to leave*

James: *he whistled with two fingers in his mouth* Just wait a second! *The girls turned* When Jessie talked about her mum, why did Jennifer call her "Aunt Jo"? *He looked at the two of them, switching his focus from one to the other*

Jessie: *she turned to Jennifer* You mean with that whole week you didn't say anything?

Jen: He didn't ask!

Jessie: That's not a reason not to! *They both turned to James, who was studying the similarities between the two*

Js&Jn: James? *Their voices fitted perfectly. James leapt back*

James: Oo-weehooweehoohooo! I should've known! *He pointed to them* You're both related!

Jessie: *shrugging* I guess there's no point in telling him now.

Jen: *tapping her head* Smart, isn't he? *She walked up to the frozen James and rested her hand on his shoulder* You see, Jess and I are related.

Js&Jn: We're cousins!

Jessie: Obviously I got the beauty in the family! Ha ha ha ha!

Jen: Looks like she didn't get the modesty. J-j-James? Are you right? *James was grabbing onto Jennifer's jacket, trying to keep himself up*

James: Please, someone drag me into the room. I can't seem to stand properly.

Jen: *slapping her head* Arghh.

Jennifer locked the door while Jessie and James sat at the table.

Jessie: OK, time to get serious. *She reached to the top of a bookshelf and felt about for something. She soon brought down the old folder and passed it to Jennifer. Jennifer opened it. After reading, she gasped and looked at Jessie, who was very upset*

Jen: Jess. I never knew. *She put the folder on the table and comforted her cousin. James looked at the folder*

Jessie: *she began to explain* Mum was in Team Rocket. High Black Division.

Jen: The best there is.

Jessie: *she nodded* They sent her off to the Andes in South America to find Mew.

Jen: Mew...*she gasped*...the pink Pokémon.

Jessie: The one that told me my mum was safe.

Jen: But, they never found her.

James: *reading* It says she was victim to an avalanche. No trace of her. *He looked up at Jessie* This is horrible. Jessie...

Jessie: That's not all. The Boss says our mission to capture Pikachu is in South America, near the Andes.

Jen: How strange. *She looked up at Jessie* A-a-re you sure you want to go?

Jessie: I have to. I want to say goodbye.

Jen: I understand. Do we ask Giovanni for time off?

Jessie: No! We have to go when he doesn't know! We can't let him know that we've got this information.

Jen: Right.

Jessie: James, do you want to come with us?

James: Is it ok?

Jen: It wouldn't be ok if we didn't ask you to! *She came up to him and whispered* Please James, she needs us, her friends.

James: You're right. I'll come.

Jen: Thanks! *And for no reason she kissed him on the cheek* She'd really appreciate it.

James: Uh......hmm.

Jessie: ?!

Jen: (Why the hell did you do that?!)

Jen: (It was a friendly gesture. Just showing my appreciation for what he did.)

Jen: (HAH!)

Jen: (There isn't anything wrong with that.)

Jen: (No, but what would he think about it. *smirk*)

Jen: (That's up to him. Not my problem.)

Jen: (Ah, but it is my problem. He might get the wrong idea. Is that fair on him and myself?)

Jen: *she groaned and rested her head on the seat. How long did she have to listen to "Bad Jennifer" and "Good Jennifer" for? Time for a change. James had the window seat. The radio had old boring songs. The in-flight movie was no good. (Some stupid Romeo and Juliet rip-off with a Psyduck and Wigglytuff.) She looked over at James. A completely different person in disguise. She rolled her eyes and whispered* Stop staring at him.

James: *his eyes were focused at the teen boy near the front with black hair and an Official Pokémon League hat* But he's right there.

Jen: It's hard enough for Jessie as it is. *She pointed to the costumed Jessie, who had trouble restraining herself. Down below in the Pokémon storage space, there was a very un-happy Pikachu. It just heard a Meowth mumble to itself, complaining about "da soivice"*

Jen: *she slammed a fist on the desk* WHAT?!

Receptionist: Sorry, ma'am. You've only been reserved two rooms.

Jen: *she turned to Jessie and whispered* Is this you're idea of a joke, 'cos if it is, it isn't funny!

Jessie: I didn't reserve the rooms. The Boss said he wanted two rooms; a single and a double. Maybe he forgot there was three of us.

Jen: Or maybe, maybe he's up to no good!

Jessie: Do you really believe that?

Jen: I heard he's a bit of a nut case. Listen, we'll sort all of this out when we get our rooms. *She took the keys from the receptionist* James?

James: *he came in carrying the girls and his own luggage* I'm coming...ugh. *he rested briefly on a bag*

Jessie: *standing in front of the rooms, she spoke casually* Well, me, being the most important, should get her own room! *She took the single room key and dashed off into her room giggling*

Jen: *shaking her head* What a brat. *She opened the door to her room* ....Oh, wow.... *she stepped into the room as if she's never seen one before* This is so lovely! I wonder if they'll let me borrow the bed sheets, curtains, and, hell! Why not the whole room!? Woooooowww....

James: Is that your gasps of awe I can hear, Jennifer? *He entered the room dumping the bags inside* This is nice! Where's mine? I hope it's like this one.

Jen: Err...it's exactly like it.

James: *he noticed the expression on her face and frowned* When you say "exactly like it", you mean a different room, or do you mean this room?

Jen: This room....

James: Rrriiiiggghhhttt....

Jen: *she gave him a hard look* Is that bad? You can always sleep outside, you know.

James: N-n-o! It's ok! I'm happy. *He started un-packing* Just don't kick me in the middle of the night.

Jen: *she turned around and shook her finger* And don't hog the bed!

James: And no snoring!

Jen: I should be telling you that!

James: Lights out at 9...

Jen: NO FOOD CRUMBS!!

James: Damn. You got me.*They both ended up lying on the floor laughing*

Jessie: Exsqueeze me! Where is my luggage, James! And are we going yet?!
