^**~Chapter 6: A Mischievous Grin ~**^

(Just to refresh your memory:)

"No buts," Jesse yelled "we're GOING to go down there, and we're GOING to steal Pikachu!! Come on..." Jessie paused as she saw James take a seat and relax in the sleigh, "NOW!!" Jessie snapped.

James fell forwards anime style from the impact of Jessie voice. "Alright, alright!" James said pitifully.

Team Rocket quietly walked over to the chimney and just stood there for a moment staring down it.

"Fine! I'll go first!" Jessie said annoyingly. She skillfully jumped down the chimney, and landed on her butt with a KABOOM!! Oww! We were so close too! Jessie thought, because she assumed that everyone in the house was awake now. She got up and rubbed her now very sore butt. But when she didn't hear any footsteps, she turned her head up the chimney and motioned toward James and Meowth. She thought smartly and put a few throw pillows from the couches to soften their landing.

~!~meanwhile in Ash's room~!~

Misty lay awake. She knew she heard something that time. She even saw Pikachu's ears twitch a little She got up and walked over to Ash's bed, shook him and said, "Ash, wake up!"

"Hmmm? Is it morning?" Ash said drowsily and then yawned "Can't wait to open presents..."

"No, I heard something, like someone fell down." Misty said worriedly.

Ash sat up tiredly. "It's okay, Mist. It was probably Mimie (Mr.Mime) on his way to the bathroom, he trips over things all the time."

"Oh," Misty paused "But I'm still kinda scared, can I hold your hand?" Misty said sheepishly.

Ash smiled. "Sure, Misty, anything," Ash said in a thoughtful voice.

Misty smiled back. She scooted her bed closer to Ash's bed so she could reach him, lay back down, and took hold of Ash's hand.

Ash lay back down and they both fell right asleep, comforted by each other's hand.

~!~back to Team Rocket~!~

They realized that Brock was sleeping on the couch and sweatdropped, because he slept right through all the noise they had made.

"Heavy sleeper!" James said loudly.

"Shhhhhhhh!!!" Jessie and Meowth hushed in unison.

"Sorry!" James whispered as they swiftly tip-toed up the stairs. They stopped at the first door on the left and opened it. It was Mrs. Ketchum's room.

"Shoot!" Jessie whispered as she shut the door and went on to another door "This better be it!" She turned the handle and her eyes opened wide at what she saw.

What she saw was the girl twerp and the annoying boy twerp, their hands entangled, sleeping peacefully. The Pikachu was sleeping alertly at Ash's side. What would happen if we tried to swiped Pikachu and it woke up and shocked us...again! ~Sigh~ Jessie thought.

Jessie's mind went to work, and she thought of a better idea. "I have a better idea," she whispered just as Meowth and James were about to grab Pikachu.

"Okay, we steal the girl," Jessie pointed to Misty, "and hold her hostage until that twerp," she pointed to Ash "gives us Pikachu!" Jessie squealed silently.

"Brilliant, Jess!" Meowth complimented.

"But-how are we going to steal her without her or someone else waking up?!" James whispered worriedly.

"Simple....we, uh." Jessie thought and then whispered "Ah! We can bound and gag her!!"

James rubbed his hands together in delight, "Great idea Jessie, but...how do we do that?"

"Give me your sock." Jessie said calmly.

"What?!" James said in shock "Why?"

"Don't ask questions! Just give me it!" Jessie whispered impatiently.

James shrugged and quickly took off one of his boots and then his black sock. He sniffed it. Mmmm not that bad, I just put powder in these yesterday!

Meowth and Jessie stared at him in amazement, because you would have to be pretty weird to sniff your sock after you took it off!!

"Umm, on second thought, I think we should use a clean sock! We wouldn't want her to die from just shoving a dirty gym sock in her mouth-" Jessie whispered harshly.

"Hey Jess, are you turnin' good?" Meowth whispered suspiciously.

"You didn't let me finish," Jessie said snobbishly "-then we wouldn't be able to get Pikachu in exchange!" she whispered sinisterly.

Jessie quietly went over to Ash's dresser and soundlessly opened the drawers, trying to find socks. "Bingo!" She whispered victoriously as she pulled out a clean pair of white socks.

Team Rocket all gave a mischievous grin as they hovered over Misty.

Ooooo that was a cliffy, he he^_^! Okay finally got this chapter done. YIPPIE!! well cy'az (pronounced SEE-yaz..if you were ever wondering what it was!) Mata nee!!
