Third story! Thanks to those people who read these works, and to anyone who sends in reviews. Enjoy!
"Why? Out of all the people in the world, why me?" a young woman muttered, glaring up at the cloud-covered sky. The female was dressed in a typical Team Rocket uniform: black sweater, black pants, black boots, and black cap. Hell, even her hair was black! Embroidered on both the sweater and the cap was a large red R; the only thing that wasn't black was the white belt at her waist.
"Yo, baka, hurry up! If you don't move it, we'll be late!" called an irritable voice from the next room. Brushing a strand of her long dark blue hair behind her ear, Abby shoved back the curtain that split the room in half and glared at her partner.
Feeling Abby's red eyes digging into her back, Sakin turned around and gave her older partner a sweet smile. "There you are! Do my earrings look alright?" Tossing her head so that the long gold hoops swung around a bit, Sakin turned back to the mirror and touched up her lipstick. Long wavy caramel colored hair reached down to her ankles and sparkling blue eyes make the girl look quite beautiful. The fact that she wore a tight outfit make the Rocket members of the opposite sex almost drool was not lost on Abby.
Sighing and silently cursing whoever assigned her to this brat, Abby stalked towards the door, not caring if Sakin followed or not. As usual, the younger girl immediately started to whine.
"Abby, I'm not done getting ready yet! I still have to make sure that my makeup and jewelry match! Could you pleeeaaase wait just a couple of more minutes?"
"No. You called me because I was apparently taking too much time getting ready." Abby growled, continuing out the door.
"But…but…Oh, wait up then!" the girl replied sourly, quickly making a final adjustment to her clothes and scurrying after her older partner.

Laying on her bed, Abby sighed once more as she heard Sakin shift in the next room. That day's assignment had gone quite well, with Sakin actually doing something instead of standing around an complaining. Both Team Rocket members had managed to steal very rare Pokémon: Abby had gotten a Growlithe, and Sakin a Dratini. Abby has muttered something along the lines of 'good job' after they had returned to base, but Sakin had made no indication that she had heard the comment.
Hearing her partner shift yet again, Abby decided to see what was up. Peering around the corner of the curtain, the woman's jaw dropped as she saw her partner. Sakin was sitting up in bed, staring out the window at the full moon. It was pretty normal, except for the small fact that she was completely naked.
"…." stunned into silence by her teammate's body, Abby quickly replaced the curtain and fell back against her pillow. What…was that? At seeing Sakin, Abby had felt a rush of very strange and eerie feelings, ones that a woman should get only from looking at a man in the same position as Sakin had been.
Normally, Abby hated Sakin, but something had changed when they had been on their mission together. Sakin seemed to take and interest in what her older partner was doing, not just charging blindly in and doing things her way. And why did she feel so strange?
"Um…Abby, are you still awake?" the softly spoken question pulled the woman back into reality. Glancing up, she was taken by surprise to see Sakin standing in front of her, still with nothing on. Suddenly realizing that she had only a bra and a pair of panties on, Abby flushed and dropped her gaze to stare at the floor.
"So you are up…I know I haven't been the best partner, and I know you don't like me, but I have something important to tell you." Sakin took another step forward and knelt down beside Abby's bed.
"Abby…I like you…a lot. In fact, I would be willing to say that I am in love with you. Now, you probably don't feel the same way, but just let me spend one night by your side. If you don't want to see me ever again, that would be fine with me."
While the younger female had been talking, Abby had been trying to sort out her own feelings. She had never really been into guys, or had an opportunity to see if she liked members of her own gender. Although it was true that she didn't like the whiney and sassy Sakin, this side of her was much different. Sighing, the Team Rocket member decided to let her true feelings show.
"Sakin, I have no idea how I feel about other females, but I would be willing to see if I like them." Red eyes met blue ones; Sakin smiled as her partner let her slip into bed. Pulling the female closer to her, Abby relaxed and let her instincts take over.
The full moon shone down onto the silent Team Rocket base and into a seemingly empty room. But behind the curtain that split the room in half came soft moans and whispers of love. No one else knew why Sakin had become so nice or why Abby was spending so much time with her. Rumors flew, but neither girl said anything about it.
