Ch. 3
Lexi in Love!
Anita's Note: Yeah, well..... This is the first time we see J+J. No Meowth yet, gomen. This is Rocket-shippy, and if anyone can think of a name for a ship between Tetsue and Lexi, don't hesitate to e-mail me. Domo arigato. And to my friend Loba: I like Rocketshipping, but this story is 3 years in the making with 5 different versions. One was from Ash's POV, one was from 3rd person, another was just Lexi and her friends on their Pokemon training adventure, 2nd person, and now, it's Lexi's first person. I was originally gonna pair James with some else's OC, but then my friend showed me the light. Well, I know you're all bored with this little rant, so I'll get on with the story. Ja ne! R&R!!!
"Come on, Lexi!" said Anita as we walked into the club 'No Fools'. I was wearing my new black tube top and a pair of magenta colored shorts.
"Anita! I'll come in, I'll drink, but I won't, I repeat, I WON'T become like you. This has to stop."
"Well, if you don't, I'll stop being your friend. And then, Miss Red, you'll only have Annie."
"I'm scared, 'Nita. I'll try, but I'm scared." She looked away from me then.
"Hey! There he is!" then I noticed him. Definitely a Morgan. I'd seen him before, and his name was Tetsue.
"Hello, Tetsue."
"Konichiwa, Lexi chan. You look nice tonight."
I slapped him, "What has gotten into you, Morgan?!"
"Sheesh! Look, I don't really hate you, it's just... my mom and dad say that you're a twerp, just like Misty."
I cocked an eyebrow. "You're forced to hate me?"
"Hai."
Anita looked from me to him, him to me, and back again. "Well, this isn't what I expected!" I sat down next to Tetsue. I couldn't quite place it, but there was something about the boy that absolutely intrigued me. We kept staring at each other, then it hit me. His eyes. Years ago, I had a semi- crush on James Morgan, Tetsue's dad. All because of his eyes. The deepest and purest green any one has ever seen.
"You have pretty eyes." He said. Now, this, I couldn't understand. My eyes are deep, dark olive. So dark, they're almost black. He laughed. I glared. "Sorry, Lexi. You were blushing."
"Tetsue," I began, "Why do you look like Miyamato?"
"Lexi, I don't want to focus on tat tonight. Besides, I don't know."
"Okay, Tets."
"Eh. I always wonder why you look like Misty in every way, 'cept your eyes. You must get them from your dad." Said Tetsue. Anita had left to get some drinks.
"I wouldn't know." then he hugged me.
"I'm sorry, Lexi. I know what it feels like to be missing a big part of yourself." It was then I knew I was in love.
"Why's that?" I asked, looking up at him.
"When I was 11, I lost control of my mind."
"Oh," I said, hugging him, "and you were only 11?"
"That's right. I was during the second wave of Project: Takeover." (A/n: Hey! Ok, I promise a flash back in the next chapter. ^_~ C ya!)
"Tets, I've had a ruff day. Can we not focus on the bad things and just stay like this forever?" He froze. "Tetsue-san? What's wrong?"
"My. mom and. dad. That's what." He squeaked. I followed his gaze. As Jessie and James approached us, Jessie got angrier, James got more and more disappointed, and my eyes started glowing brighter.
"Tetsue Kojiro Morgan!" Jessie exclaimed, "I thought I told you to not to EVER hang around a twerp."
"Mrs. Morgan," I said, standing up, "I. Am. Not. A. Twerp." If there was one thing in the Rocket curriculum that she was good at, it was telling if you were lying or not. Jessie could read eyes.
"Miss Red, your eyes say different."
We glared at each other a few more moments, then, "Tetsue-san. Go with them. We'll talk later."
""Okay, Lexi-chan." And he left.
"Hey, Lexi. Where'd your boyfriend go?" asked Anita.
"For one, Tetsue's not my boyfriend. Second, I'm in no hurry to be like you. And the Morgans took him away."
"Meh. So, you want this mimosa or not?"
"Nah. I'm going sober tonight. I'm gonna go talk with Sabi."
"Oh well, more for me! See you around, Lex."
"Bye, 'Nita."

Later.
'It must be 2:30 by now.' I thought. I had just gotten out of m talk with Sabrina, and was sitting on the steps outside the apartment. I should NOT have worn that tube top! Or at least have brought a jacket, like Misty told me to."
"Lexi?" asked my mom as she came out.
"Hey, Mama."
"Why are you home so early?"
"Why are you making it sound bad?"
"Ash and I are catching up. You can tell me what happened in the morning. Come on in."
"Thank you, Mama." Inside, the rat god was not to be seen, and the twerp was sitting on the couch, just as I had been.
"Hello,. erm. Lexi." he said, seeing I was home.
"Hey,. Ash." There was the typical awkward silence. I lost control of my joy, "PAPA!!!!" I gave him my biggest glomp.
"Ack! Misty! Get this hyper thing off me!!!" I could tell he was also overjoyed. And it didn't matter any more that he was "King Twerp". Ash was my dad and I had a last name. (A/N: Hey, Rocket fans, don't worry. Lexi becomes the perfect Rocket in Part Two: Exiles' Haven.)
"Ash, she's never even seen you. Well, 'cept for the pictures."
"Which pictures?" he asked.
"The one of you, Mama, an' Tracy when you won at the Orange Islands.
"And the one of you surfing with Pikachu," Said Misty. "Ya know what? It's late and I have a meeting with Giovanni tomorrow about Laptini. Off to bed!"
"But Mama.!" I protested
"BED!" they both said. Even now, I wonder if I should have defended Tetsue, gotten drunk, and become like Anita, never come home. How would my life be different? I will never know. But, I can tell you what did happen, because a Pokemorph remembers every thing.
Lexi in Love!
