Part 2.5

Ned: Is it me, or is Kelly smiling?

Jen: *looking at Kelly arrive with her luggage and with a huge smile on her face* Nope. She's smiling. You'd think that she would be sad because she had to leave that friend of hers.

Kelly: Hello!

Ned: Where were you last night?

Kelly: Oh, I was saying goodbye to Brock.

Ned: Why not now?

Kelly: We didn't think it would be right with people around. *She flashed him an evil grin*

Ned: *grabbing her bags and putting them in the plane* You sicken me.

Kelly: *she walked at least 3 steps before she burst out* Wahhhhh! I'll never see him again! My dearest Brock! Waaahhhh!!

Ned: *sighing* There, there, sister dear. I'm sure there are plenty of more fish in the sea.

Kelly: Oh, yeah?! How about explaining water pollution to me, huh? And what about those sharks? I don't want a shark!

Ned: Ok, then. Plenty more in an aquarium. There's heaps there.

Kelly: Grrrr....*she stomped on his foot*

Ned: GAH! *Hops about*

Jen: *She walked up to Meowth* Stay out of trouble.

Meowth: Yes ma'am.

Jessie: Ha! Meowth? Behave? That's a first!

Meowth: And you?

Jessie: *she raised a fist at him* Why I'd aughta...

Jen: Take care of yourself, Jess.

Jessie: *she lost interest in Meowth* I will. Thank you. It's been so nice seeing you again! If only you could stay forever. *She hugged her and wiped a tear from her eye* I'll miss you.

Jen: Me too. Don't worry. James will keep you company. *She looked at James, then back at Jessie* Bye Jessie. *She walked up to James* James. I-i...*she looked down*

James: Jennifer, *he reached out to her* It's- *he found that she pulled herself closer with her arms around him in a tight embrace*

Jen: I'll miss you, James

James: *he smiled* ...It's ok. *He held her tighter as he fought off his own tears*

Jessie: *watching them and thinking* Maybe he knows...*she looked up with glistening eyes*

Pilot: We're ready to go now

James: *He wanted to say something, but couldn't quite get it out*

Jen: *She saw how much this prolonged goodbye was hurting him. She decided to let go of him. James stopped her* James...James please....please don't make it harder than it already is. *James looked at her and understood* She looked up and finally smiled at him* Thanks, James. *She let go. This time, James didn't stop her* Goodbye, Jessie. James.

James: Goodbye, Jennifer.

*She walked back and wiped her tear. She waved, turned around and walked towards the plane. She turned back and looked at James who stood there smiling at her. She smiled, waved back to him, and went inside the plane. The engines started up*

James: *he stepped forward but Jessie grabbed his arm and shook her head. James looked back at the plane and saw Jennifer in the window. She looked at him and waved. James waved back and the plane started to move. Now Jessie was the one stepping forward but James stopped her* Let her go, Jess. *Jessie looked at him* I don't want her to leave either, but she has to. If she stays, she'll be hurt. I don't want her being hurt.

Jessie: I suppose it's for the best. I just don't know if I'll ever see her again. *The plane was near the end of the runway and was starting to lift up*

James: Who knows what may happen, Jess.

*They both watched the plane disappear over the forest and then out of site*
