El Tango De Roxanne

Giovanni had disappeared with Jessie and taken her straight to his room.

James sat in the lounge with Meowth, tapping his foot and looking towards the window to Giovanni's tower room. Giovanni was known to be sadistic. And when someone wanted to leave Team Rocket, they usually had the bruises to show for it. It was dangerous work to get out of Team Rocket.

"Don't worry, Jimmy-boy!" Cassidy said, suddenly in his face. "I'm sure she'll look much more cute and vulnerable in ICU!"

James shoved Cassidy back, and onto the floor. He rose to get up, but two Rockets grabbed his arms and held him back.

"You!" Cassidy yelled. "I'll teach you…"

"Quiet, Cassidy," Butch commanded. He leaned over and took hold of her arm, helping her up. He helped her brush off, and then turned to James.

"Never fall in love with a woman who works for the Boss. It always ends like this!"

The rest of the room fell silent, all eyes upon Butch and James.

James's eyes were like cold fire. "He is out to hurt Jessie. I won't let him."

Butch smirked. "We have a dance in the northern part of Harlem, where I come from. It tells the story of a young man and woman who work for a sadistic employer. They fall in love. They want to leave their dead-end job and be together, but their superior wants something for his time." He grabbed Cassidy's wrist. "And one of them doesn't come out alive. Or…" he sneered. "They give up on each other and forget their love, thinking that it's a big waste of time." With a sweeping arm, Butch gestured to the tower room. "Roxanne! You don't have to put on that red light! Walk the streets for money." He sneered at James. "You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right. Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight." He looked towards the tower room with a look of almost pity on his face. "Roxanne, you don't have to sell your body to the night."

James had started to walk away, singing quietly. "His eyes upon your face. His hand upon your hand. His lips caress your skin." Suddenly he broke out. "It's more than I can stand!"

"Roxanne!" Butch sang.

"Why does my heart cry?"

"Roxanne!"

"Feelings I can't fight!" James looked towards the tower room. "You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me. And please, believe when I say I love you!"

Butch grabbed Cassidy and twirled her around. "Roxanne!"

"Why does my heart cry?" James had started to walk out, Butch and Cassidy following him.

"You don't have to put on that red light, Roxanne!"

"Feelings I can't fight!"

"You don't have to do your hair tonight, Roxanne!"

"You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me. And please, believe when I say I love you!"

All three of them were outside, just under the tower window.

Jessie backed away from Giovanni, but his arm was long, and his hands went across her face.

She stumbled, tripping over her feet, and fell, her arm catching onto the windowsill. Painfully, she picked herself.

"You honestly didn't think I'd let you go, did you?" Giovanni said. "Here, I'll make you a deal. You forget about leaving and switch with another team. I think it's all this nonsense with you and James that makes you want to leave. Do we have a deal?"

Jessie stared outside the window, where she could see James, Butch, and Cassidy looking up at the tower. She searched James's face and saw his tear-filled crystal blue eyes.

"Come what may," she sang softly, looking down at him lovingly. "I will love you, until my dying day."

Giovanni looked past her and saw them. "Oh, I see." He sneered. "Well, that's just too bad, isn't it?"

His hand creeped to her neck. His fingers tightened and he began choking here.

"Roxanne!" Butch shouted.

James headed towards the tower door. "Why does my heart cry? Feelings I can't hide. Why does my heart cry?"

"Roxanne!

"Feelings I can't fight!"

"You don't have to wear that dress tonight!"

Giovanni sneered at her as he threw her on the bed. "Why does my heart cry?" he sang mockingly.

He heard Butch sing "Roxanne!"

"Feelings I can't hide."

"Stop it! Stop it! Leave me alone!" Jessie choked out.

"Roxanne!" Butch screamed.

And suddenly, a chair crashed down on Giovanni's head. He wobbled, dazed, and fell to the ground

Looking up, Jessie saw James standing there, breathing hard and brandishing a broken chair.

"James…" Jessie whispered.

Suddenly she was on her feet and in his arms. "He tried to kill me! He honestly tried to kill me! He told me to leave you f another team and I saw you and…I couldn't!"

"Shh, quiet. Calm down, Jessie."

He held her and let her sob into him. "We're leaving. Meowth is waiting for us in the lounge. We leave. Tonight."

Well, that's it. *Pokes Giovanni with hot irons* Die! I realize that the songs doesn't exactly fit the story, but I had to maintain a PG rating, and I did it the best I could!
