Summery: Butch and Cassidy and how they ended up wrapped up in the crime of team rocket.
____________________________________________________________
I hated stealing everything from food to tampons, but there was no other way once summer set in the pears rotted and we were left with nothing but a rickety shack that acted as if it would cave in every storm. Butch would try to build up by doing chin ups on a low branch, while I ran along the river. As much as I hated it as a punishment it was an excellent way to start the morning or evening. Especially a evening where the day will end up in sirens and us running from them. After collapsing in the store, Butch made me eat half a can of fruit and half a can of tuna, what else. I didn't want to become one of the anorexic girls you see in tabloids all the time, but I hadn't been able to bring myself to eat. I don't know if it's cause I'm completely burnt out on canned crap or something else; I gagged down the tuna just to make Butch feel better. He always seemed worried about me ratter than himself; even if, he was a hardy eater. Once it started getting dark; we walked to our next robbery. We planed to do it like we did before one the owner locks up for the night Butch will bust the window and we will have five minutes or less to grab all we can and spilt. The main problem we had was carrying enough to last more than a month. We had shoplifted clothing when we needed it but our worst fear was getting caught and sent home, so we didn't steal unless we had to. Four more years till I'm 17 and will be free from my past forever. I wouldn't be considered a minor and my step-father will have no control over me. We just had to survive until then.
It was now dark and Butch and I were hiding in the bushes. He leaned over and kissed me. "It's gonna be okay I promise." he then lit up a cigarette. how could he be so stupid, since we stated stealing he'd gone from smoking one a day to at least three, more like six.
"Butch!" I scolded, "Your going to catch us on fire, put that thing out."
"Don't worry so much" he said blowing smoke across the night air. "Sweetheart I think it's time." he grumbled looking at an elderly man walk to his car. Once he was out of site, Butch made his way to the glass door with the lead pipe we found behind the cabin. "Are you ready?" He said preparing to swing at the door. I nodded and closed my eyes. Sounds of shattering glass filled the air followed by a siren. Braking away the glass with some leather gloves we found with the fishing stuff, we climbed in. I was wearing gloves too, but they weren't thick enough not to be cut by the glass. I went around the store shoving all the food of the shelf in to the book bag. Butch was loading his bag with bottled water and other drinks. "C'mon Butch, we half to go." I said grabbing his arm.
"You go ahead, I'll be right there" he said, climbing being the counter to his cigarettes. 'So will the police; He has a problem with those things.' I thought climbing back though the broken door. I had about made it to the bushs when I felt a small sting in my side I mannaged to get a small yelp in before went black.

"You go ahead, I'll be right there." I told myself I wouldn't get additiced but I found out when I had them I felt better stronger and even manlier, and when I didn't smoke for I while I'll feel tired and sometimes even snap at Cassidy; I didn't want to be my father especially with her. My father is the reason why my mother left even though he would say it was because I was a 'bad boy' that may have worked when I was 5 or 7 but not now. He treated me badly; I'm sure he didn't treat her any better, probably worst. I shook the memories off as I shoved one last pack in my bag. I was about to leave when I heard Cassidy yell out. I then ran out, cutting my arm on the broken glass. There stood a man, he had light brown hair styled in a mullet; he had to be in his mid-twenties, early thirties tops, and in his arms, was an knock out Cassidy. Dropping my bag, I ran at him but something caught me.
"Not so fast lover boy." it was a woman's voice. I turned around, she had long vibrant blue hair with a green headband right at her bangs. She had hold of me by the collar of my shirt. "Put her in the van, Pierce." she said to the other man laid Cassidy in the back of a black van.
"What do you want? We don't have any money" I asked trying to slide out of my shirt to run to her rescue.
"Just get in the van; we'll explain everything on the way." she said a little more gentle, letting go of my collar.
So I climbed into the van. Cassidy was still out for the count. "What did you do to her?" I said trying to hold the fear back in my voice. These people were no kind to be messed with. She seemed smaller than she did when she was sleeping, but she was breathing normally but wouldn't wake up.
"It's just a sleeping dart; she'll be back soon and back to normal in an hour or two." the man said. "By the way I'm Pierce and this is Harmony. We work for an organization that can save your butts, so you might be able to get a descent shower, a way to earn your own money, and protection from whatever your running from." the man said not taking his eyes off the road
"What are you two running from anyway?" Harmony asked me looking back with curiosity and concern. I didn't know what to tell her; I guess I could tell her the truth but not the names or details of the matter.
"My father beat me and her step-father had naughty thoughts about her." I said not wanting to give my kidnappers too much information. She then noticed my shoulder bleeding I had forgotten all about it. She climbed out of her seat and grabbed a small box, sat down next to me and doctored it up.
"Sorry we couldn't be more civil about this. We work for Team Rocket it's Pierce and my job to bring in new members. After watching you two... well your naturals, you could actually be agents, on the black squad even, but right now we gotta worry about getting you some rest; you can turn back now and we could disappear forever; we'll even wait for her to come to and decide if you want." the woman seemed really nice, and getting a job sounded really great, but I should consult with Cassidy first, but she beat me to it.
"Let's do it Butch." she said half asleep.
"Are you sure?" I asked pushing a loose curly lock from her forehead. She only nodded.
"Do you have everything you need?" Harmony asked looking at us both. We had our pokemon and the clothes on our backs but most of all each other I couldn't think of anything else we needed.
