Chapter 12- Magikarp Men and lots of Babble
As the noise of the chimes quieted down, Jessie turned to face Itsumu. Itsumu had her head bowed down with a small smile playing on her lips, she continued to smile as she picked up her tea and slowly sipped it. Jessie raised her eyebrow at this woman's behavior.
"What's so funny?"
"Hmm? Oh! Nothing really, its just Tokeri is always getting himself into trouble, James is sort of a father figure to him, ever since his real father died." Meowth spat out his drink with a fit of laughter.
"Father figure!? No ways! Are we talking about the same Jimmy? Do you hear that Jess? James has twos kids!" Meowth snorted with laughter "This is like some twisted soap opera, 'The Day in the Life of Team Rocket!'" As Meowth continued to laugh, Jessie leaned in closer to Itsumu.
"Really? Is James that good of a…role model?"
"Of course! I mean, I guess he just spoils his kids rotten, but he does discipline them every once in a while. Aqua Marie couldn't be happier!"
"Aqua Marie?"
"James legitimate daughter, I understand he only had his father's help to care for the child. I fell in love with them both. Of course, Aqua Marie a little later, James for some reason wouldn't introduce me to her…" Itsumu gave a sort of sly smile towards Jessie. "I soon found out why…and it just made me love them both even more." Blue eyes locked and Jessie tried desperately to understand and make the situation clear.
"So you're not the Aqua child's *real* mother?" Jessie questioned staring Itsumu down, daring her to answer. Meowth casually listened from the corner of the table, also curious to know the answer, as he pretended to be interested in his French fries.
"Oh how I wish I was! But sadly no, I barely met them both a year ago. Since then James and I have tried to have another child, but no luck yet." She gave another one of her small smiles and nervously began to sip her tea once more.
"Any idea why it hasn't worked?" Jessie asked cautiously.
"I'm hoping we just need time, I would hate not having a child of mine and James, especially I fear that it's me. Since James already seems to have a child of his own."
"So yous don't know Aqua Marie's real muther?" Meowth asked quietly as he noticed Jessie slightly shaking.
"No. And I doubt I will. James told me just one thing about her and then steered of the subject. That he feared for Aqua Marie's life and his as well when he was around her. Some how, he put, it's like she makes your insides feel cool and warm at the same time. And for awhile you're at bliss, but them the same feeling seems to turn, and somehow…somehow she mages to damage your senses, then confusion rises on what you really want." Itsumu laughed nervously, "He also added that only two things helped him get through her at his time of need…his two friends waiting for him to return. Soon he said he met up with her again, this time his friends left him, but he had Aqua Marie and Pori, his Vaporeon."
"Jimmy gots a Vaporeon?" Meowth changed the subject, warily eyeing Jessie.
"Oh yes, and plenty of other Pokemon as well. They're getting to be quite a handful! But Pori happens to be one of his most loyal and his favorite, he says he doesn't choose favorites, but you can tell." Itsumu gave a small chuckle and then noticed Jessie's glazed look. Itsumu smoothed out her skirt and cleared her throat, her eyes loosing their glow and the smile leaving her face.
"You know Miss—"
"Just call me Jessie." Itsumu nodded and shifted her position. She shot her face downward and started playing with the napkin on the table.
"Want to know how old I am, Jessie?" Itsumu paused for a bit, and continued when she didn't receive an answer "I am nineteen. Nineteen! And I already believe I have found the person I'm meant to be with. I also have a daughter! Kind of hard to believe, huh? Jessie…tell me, how old are you?"
"Twenty." Jessie answered in monotone, slightly curious to see where this was going.
"Interesting. James is too. Can you believe how…young we are? I'm a married woman at nineteen! And you are not even old enough to drink!" Jessie raised her eyebrow, wondering what this was all about.
"I'm sorry Miss…Jessie. It's just that you have to understand, I know I'm too young, but James and I fell in love! I fell in love with his caring and understanding, and although he is childish and whines quite a bit. I can accept that because I believe that when one loves another that's what they do!" Itsumu stopped in mid-speech and looked into Jessie's eyes. Itsumu looked down again after seeing the hurt in her opponent's eyes.
"I'm sorry." She apologized once more. "It's just I'm nervous. That's all." She shifted in her seat slightly and turned to look at the waiters balancing their trays. "James has said much about you." She whispered, tears forming in her eyes. "I don't understand it. You've hurt him, abandoned him, and you were almost going to shoot him…and yet somehow in his heart he can always forgive you. I have always feared that he would never get over you, and over the months I've convinced myself of the fact. Now that you're back, I'm afraid to loose him. I know that he would pick you over me, any day any time." She gave a small chuckle which quickly turned into a suppressed sob "It's my guess that I'm just filling in for you, just so James can have some one to hold someone to "love". I know it sounds silly, but that's enough for me. I know he's just settling with me, when what he really wants is you. When he talks about you it's with a slight hurt and longing, a sort of passion that James has never shown me."
"Wh-What are you trying to say?"
"Jessie" Itsumu scooped up Jessie's shivering hands and held them tight "James loves you, and he will never stop loving you."
**~~**
"When where you going to tell me you had another job?" James muttered angrily at the young boy wearing the floppy hat.
"When I could call it a job! It's just taking people's orders and balancing trays!"
"Look, it's not that I mind you having another job, ok? It's that you left the store with Hombre!" James whined. "You know how many people I'm going to have to work with because of his scams!?" Tokeri angrily freed himself from James' grip and gave a pout.
"I believe in Hombre! You just don't give him a chance!" James sighed and slowly walked over to Tokeri.
"Fine. Let's give Hombre a chance, if he hasn't screwed anything up. I'll hire him…" Tokeri's face lit up with joy, "part-time." Off of Tokeri's look James merely shrugged. "What? One can't expect me to trust him that fast!" As they neared the store Tokeri kept a small distance between him and James, just in case. The entered the store and noticed that nobody was in the store. James told Tokeri to wait in the main room as he went to check the other branches of the small shop. He found Hombre showing off his Magikarp to an elderly couple.
"Only $500 dollars and this time next year you both will be millionaires!" James sighed and hung his head low. Every time, Hombre never fails.
**~~**
"What? How was I supposed to know!? Hombre promised me he wouldn't do any of his scams!"
"And you believed him? I don't blame Hombre anymore! Because I know what'll happen! I blame you!"
"How can you blame me?"
"Oh-ho-ho many ways! Number One: You leave to go to a job, you didn't even mention to me! Number two: You leave my beautiful shop in the likes of Hombre! And Number three: Well…there's never a number three! It's just there empty waiting for another reason!"
"Well I—"
"Just tell me. Why didn't you mention your new job? I could have stayed and cared for the shop, or have Victor to do it. You could've told me and we could've worked something out!" James was trying to call himself down as he drove down to the restaurant to pick up Itsumu and Jessie, he just hoped he wasn't to late. He would hate to have scooped up the loser's body from the floor. Well maybe not hate…
"I just wanted to do something on my own. I wanted to go to the top just like my dad…"
"Tokeri, I'm sure your dad had some help. Look at my store, Victor helped a lot. He helped watch Aqua-Marie until I finally had the shop up. And my pare…uncle and aunt..," James still had trouble remembering that they weren't his parents, after two years it was still hard getting used to. "Helped pay for the store's finances. One cannot walk on the road of life alone, or else they'll get caught in the pitfall's others set up for them."
"Say the people helping you get caught in the pitfall with you?"
"Well, as they say, misery *loves* company!"
**~~**
"Ladies?" James peeked through the restaurant doors cautiously. He entered and turned to slowly close the door. He heard faint music and noticed that only a few people were in the restaurant quietly sipping their coffee and reading the newspaper. He turned around and noticed the sign on the wall.
Karaoke Night
Winner Receives $100
Friday 8 p.m.-11 p.m.
As James read this he groaned. Itsumu loved the monthly Karaoke Night hosted at this restaurant. Last month she even dragged up Aqua Marie to sing with her. It was cute of course; almost too cute…He felt a presence behind him and noticed it was Tokeri, still wearing the same floppy hat he never took off; James hasn't ever seen him without it.
"Oh shit. I was supposed to host tonight! I'm so going to get fired." James' eyebrow rose at the curse, but let it go, knowing that it wasn't anything new.
"Yea, well…you were supposed to be watching the shop tonight too." Tokeri glared at James. "What? You were! Anyway I'll be waiting in the car, or else Itsumu will pull me up on stage just like last time. I tripped over the microphone cord and then managed to get the microphone stuck at the bottom of the fish tank. Poor little kid cried when he saw I killed Nemo."
"Hah haa! I remember that! That was the high point of this year!" Tokeri started laughing insanely and started slapping his knee while shaking his head.
"Not for me! Aqua Marie wouldn't talk to me for a week!" Tokeri kept laughing and began to pull on James' wool sweater, it was the middle of September and already there was that chill in the air.
"Come let's go see who Itsumu managed to bring up on stage today! Boy! I hope it is Miss Kinkledumpling, I would love to her sing!
"No! I'm not going through that humiliation again!" James' face was turning a bright pink as he stood with his arms folded across his chest, head up high with his eyes closed.
"Ah come on! You get humiliated like that every single day!" Tokeri rolled his eyes and tugged on him once more, "Please Jimmy? Plee-ase?"
"Fine. And don't be proud of your achievement, I'm spineless you know! I'm a wimp!"
"Yea, I know and that's why everyone's gotta love ya" he cried as he wrapped around James' shoulders. James head drooped and muttered under his breath.
"I wish…" Tokeri ignored James' long look as he was used to it, it always goes away with Tokeri, Itsumu, or Aqua Marie.
"Well come on then, let's see what they're singing, perhaps I can still host!" Tokeri rushed inside this time he was dragging James along. What James saw made his eyes' pop. Jessie and Itsumu were singing together, they were obviously *very* drunk. They were rocking back and forth together and Meowth was in the corner playing his old red guitar, James had no idea Meowth still had it.
"Oh give meee a hoooooome…" Jessie sang, way off key.
"cling-cling" Meowth added with his guitar.
"Where the buffalo's Ro-ha-om…" Itsumu finished with a whisper and they both bowed, hitting each other on the head as they did so. They both giggled and jumped off the stage. Tokeri came up microphone in hand, clapping.
"Well give it up for Itsumu Morgan and …" Tokeri gave a glance towards Jessie who was to out there to respond. Meowth whispered into Tokeri's hat and he nodded "…and Jessie!" People clapped and screamed laughing. James numbly clapped along, still shocked at what he just saw. James shook himself out of it and ran up to Meowth, who seemed to be sober.
"Meowth, what did I just see?"
"Oh, Jess and yours wife had a little too much green tea." Meowth smiled up at him and whispered. "Of courses I sneaked a little something extra into their cups." Meowth winked and put the guitar back behind him. Off of James' look Meowth merely shrugged. "Hey theys were asking for its, all uptight and snapping at poor Meowth." James merely sighed.
"Well I guess there's only one thing to say to that Meowth. Thank you." Meowth nodded and held up his paw.
"Anytime Jimbo. Anytime." Meowth jumped up onto James's head. "Shall we go now?" James eyed the floor were Itsumu And Jessie were sprawled across the floor snoring away. James looked at his watch.
"Sure. We have to get home anyway, Aqua Marie will be waiting up for me." Meowth nodded and began to speak.
"Hey Jimmy about ya daughter…"
"Later Meowth, just call Tokeri and tell him we're going home."
