Epilogue: The Wedding.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"

Everyone watches the scene unfold in all its beauty. James, wearing a handsome black tux, a red rose pinned to his shoulder; and Jessie next to him in her stunning white wedding dress. James turns to Jessie, lifts her veil, and kisses her red lips passionately. They put their arms around each other and continue the kiss for several seconds before finally parting. The crowd breaks out into applause. James parents clap, but not with much enthusiasm, because they are still disappointed that James is not marrying the girl they picked for him. Beside them, a girl, who looks a whole lot like Jessie, cries bitterly.

Jessiebelle: (speaking in a southern accent) How could you do this to me, my beloved James? I was going to make you into a real man, but now you picked her.

James's father: Don't worry; I'm sure he will eventually come to his senses.

James's mother: Yes I'm sure.

Out of everyone in the crowd the ones clapping the most are Ash, Brock, Misty, and Tracy. The four friends stand and clap as loud as they can.

meanwhile Giovanni is in his dark room at the top of Team Rocket headquarters, going over the updates on the project. Suddenly his door opens and a girl with short blonde hair enters.

Girl: You called me sir?

Giovanni: Yes. I have a new assignment for you. I am going to personally oversee the acquisition of the dimensional keys. My incompetent minions have failed several times in the attempts to eliminate the contacts, and it seems like one of them is beginning to awaken. And their is something else. (hands the girl a paper)

Girl: Abnormal time ripples?

Giovanni: Yes. They were detected when my agents made an attempt at the first target, and also when we tried to silence those incompetent fools when they got a hold of one of our papers. I believe they were responsible for the failure of both missions.

Girl: Could it be...him?

Giovanni: Maybe, but I'm not sure yet. Now that Butch and Cassidy have been eliminated, you, 009, are the only remaining agent I can trust. I will need you as my personal body guard while I go forward with the project.

009: (saluting) Yes sir.

Giovanni: You are dismissed for now.

The blonde girl leaves the room and Giovanni goes back to reading his report.

meanwhile Everyone mingles about, eating food and chatting with each other, now that the wedding ceremony is over. The cake has already been cut and everyone has moved on to the delicious buffet. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Tracey stand to the side, chatting with Jessie and James.

Misty: It was a beautiful wedding. Thanks for inviting us.

Jessie: No, we should be thanking you. When James' parents refused to help out, Professor Oak was the one who offered to sponsor the wedding after you guys told him all about what happened.

Ash: (looking at J and J) Do you think this will be us in a few years, Misty?

Misty: (blushing big time) Ash!!! Let's not think that far ahead yet. You still have to become a Pokemon master.

Suddenly someone announces that it is time to dance, and a song begins to play. Instantly Jessie looks at James with surprise.

Jessie: Is this?

James: (taking her hand) Yes, this is the song they played that night we first danced together. Do you want to dance to it again?

Jessie: Of course.

Jessie and James kiss and then walk out onto the dance floor. They stop in the center and start to dance. Soon others join in. Ash bows to Misty and holds his had out.

Ash: Would you like to dance, Misty?

Misty: Sure. (takes Ash's hand and walks out onto the dance floor)

Tracy: (suddenly nervous) I think I'm going to go find Professor Oak and see if he wants to dance...UH! I mean, see if he wants to look at my sketches, yeah that's it. (walks off)

Brock: (sweatdrop) That was scary. (turns to Pikachu, Meowth, and Togepi, who are standing behind him) I guess everything ended all right after all.

Togepi: Yep, I knew it would. And now if you would excuse me I have to go see some Pokemon about a bet

Brock: What is that about?

Pikachu: (sweatdrop) Oh nothing, just ignore him.

Meowth: Let's go get some grub. I'm tired of all this mushy stuff.

Brock: Ok

As Brock and the Pokemon head off to the buffet table, Ash leads Misty out onto the floor, where they begin to dance. Misty soon lays her head on Ash's shoulder.

Misty: You know Ash; this song kind of fits us too. I've always wanted to have a prince charming all to myself, and now I do.

Ash: Yeah I guess it does fit.

Tracy: It fits us too!

Ash and Misty turn to see Tracy leading Professor Oak onto the dance floor. Oak has a large sweatdrop on his head.

Oak: (nervous) Are you sure this is appropriate Tracy? People are staring.

Tracy: Oh let them stare if they want, I don't care!

Tracy lays his head on Oak's chest and closes his eyes. Oak's sweatdrop grows bigger.

Oak: um…Tracy, what are you doing?

Misty: (sweatdrop) That's creepy.

Ash: (sweatdrop) Let's go dance over there.

The young couple, along with just about everyone else on the dance floor, moves away from the Professor and the young Pokemon watcher, to the other side of the floor. Ash and Misty kiss and then continue to dance, along with Jessie and James. Each of them is now content and happy to be with the one they love. As they dance, the words of the song echo through the air, their heads, and their hearts.

"They read you Cinderella
you hoped it would come true
that one day your prince charming would come rescue you.
You like romantic movies
and you never will forget
the way it felt when Romeo kissed Juliet.
And all this time that you've been waiting
you don't have to wait no more.
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
be all that you need
show you you're everything that's precious to me
if you give me a chance, I can love you like that

I never make a promise
I don't intend to keep
so when I say forever
forever's what I mean.
Well I'm no Casanova
but I swear this much is true,
I'll be holding nothing back
when it comes to you.
You dream of love that's everlasting
well baby open up your eyes...

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
be all that you need
show you you're everything that's precious to me
if you give me a chance, I can love you like that.

If you want tenderness
I've got tenderness
and I see through to the heart of you.
If you want a man
who will understand
you don't have to look very far.

I can love you, girl I can (I can love you love you)
oh baby oh...
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
be all that you need
show you you're everything that's precious to me
I can love you like that
I can make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
my heart my heart my world
show you you're everything (you're everything to me)
love you like that
I can make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
my heart my heart my world
show you you're everything"
