Hello :P It is Wednesday so I am back with a new update. I struggled choosing which one to upload today but I settled on this. I while ago I watched this new film called "Be Somebody" and I wanted to turn this particular scene into a chapter. I've never written about Jayde and Cameron so it was exciting to have a go at this. It's not romantic and pretty much their first time talking but it's always going to be unique with Cameron around :P It may seem far fetched but that's just how the movie was and meant to portray how pretty much strangers and teach other people so much. I hope you enjoy :3

Ages:

Cameron: 16

Jayde: 14

Disclaimer: I own the story and Jayde with AAML-TAML :P


The rain pattered against the coffee shop windows and I continued my search for Ash's lost key. The baristas smiled at me and promised they would assist me once the new people came on for their shift. I smiled gratefully at them and pushed my nose in between two plant pots, hoping to see the glistening shining object. I pulled away when the leaves tickled my nose and held my head high in an attempt not to sneeze.

I glanced over and saw Jayde sat alone at the table in the corner, her fingers playing with her strand as she chewed absent mindedly on her coffee straw. I offered her a smile but her eyes were distant. She was on another planet and I wondered what exactly that may be. I was about to take a break from searching for the lost key when my eyes were distracted by the colours of khaki and orange. I was struck with a slight déjà vu when I knew I had seen that particular combination before.

I smiled to myself as I watched Cameron slowly approach Jayde. He waved his hand in front of her face to get her attention.

"Hi. Hi there. You're Jayde, aren't you?"

The introverted teenager snapped out of her thoughts and she let out a quiet 'huh' noise as she took the coffee spoon out of her mouth. Her green eyes soon focused on the male opposite and they relaxed when she saw he was familiar. She offered him a shy smile and a nod.

"I am. You're Cameron?" she asked, glancing between him and the table briefly, still unsure where she should be looking. Cameron was unfazed and just beamed and nodded back, taking a seat opposite her. He was uninvited but I glanced at them both and she didn't seem to mind.

"Yep. The name's Cameron." He smiled, running his fingers through his hair that was flopping out and slightly over his bandana. When Jayde just nodded once again, he leaned back in his chair and drummed his fingers on the table. "I've been to your house a few times."

I couldn't help but smile upon hearing this and Jayde did too but I think it was for different reasons. Cameron was an innocent soul and often came out with childlike and clumsy things. That was just part of who he is and the person I have known for a couple of years.

Jayde nodded her head once again, her fingers going back to running up and down her strand.

"Yeah, you're friends with Ash and Gary." She glanced at Cameron, talking to him in a shy and gentle tone. Once again, the khaki haired male beamed and he rested his arms behind his head.

"Yes I am. I met Ash in Unova a few years ago and Gary about a year ago when I came to visit Ash." He said before humming quietly to himself. When Jayde just raised a nonchalant eyebrow and listened, Cameron continued rambling on. Once again, the khaki haired male beamed and he rested his arms behind his head.

"You live with Ash, don't you? And Gary lives really nearby with his grandfather, doesn't he?"

After Jayde gave Cameron a small, intrigued smile and nodded her head, Cameron continued once more.

"I've known them quite a bit I guess. I like them both. I like Ash's mother too, she's nice. I've been to your house like six times now. But only a few times since it's been your house too."

I watched as Jayde's intrigued smile turned into an amused smirk. She was young, younger than you think, and I could tell she had noticed Cameron wasn't quite of the norm. He was lovely, however.

The lavender haired teenage girl raised a slight playful eyebrow and I saw much of her father in her when she said what she was about to say.

"I didn't ask to hear your life story."

Cameron was slightly taken aback by this but when he saw she was teasing him, he gave a shy smirk back and stopped leaning back, moving forward and resting his folded arms on the table.

"Oh, I'm sorry. What's your story then?"

Jayde was being bought up in a household full of smart comments and smarter retorts so she was expecting one from Cameron. When he delivered a slightly serious question, she froze.

"Uh… What do you mean by that?"

She was a shy child and her cheeks went slightly pink as she was put on the spot. Cameron didn't notice and just smiled curiously at her.

"What's your story? Everyone has one."

Jayde continued blushing and she wasn't sure what to say. Cameron decided to fill the silence by giving her an example.

"Well I'm Cameron and I'm sixteen and I want to be the world's greatest Pokemon Champion. I'll do anything to make that dream a reality. I'll train hard and I love my Pokémon friends."

The green orbed teenager listened with fresh ears and eyes full of curiosity and wonder. Once he had finished, she couldn't help but mumble slightly at him.

"It must be nice to have everything figured out. Who you are and what you want to do."

Cameron blinked his light teal orbs at the teenaged girl before she realised her reply may have been rude and she decided to quickly change it.

"I don't have a story. I'm just ordinary."

I could tell the teenaged boy had heard what she originally said but instead he just smiled at her, moving the stray hair flopping over his headband, out of his eyes.

"Everybody has a story."

She couldn't help but smile back as he smiled at her but she remained insistent that she didn't have a story by shaking her head. Cameron sighed quietly but it wasn't in frustration. No, it was wonder. It was a challenge to try and see a little bit of who this person really was.

"Maybe you're still working on your story. What about family? I know you have a family."

Jayde relaxed slightly at the different path he was taking and she stroked her fingers up and down her coffee spoon.

"You must have seen my family at least once visiting the Ketchum house. I have a dad, a mom, an older sister and three younger ones with a fourth on the way."

Cameron's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this and he took out his headband and ran his fingers through his now loose locks.

"That's a big family. I think I've seen your dad. You look really like him."

Jayde couldn't help but blush upon hearing this and she turned redder when she saw she was being observed by Cameron.

"That's what everyone tells me…" she mumbled, raising a slight eyebrow when Cameron continued studying her.

He smiled at her once again and brushed his hair back, putting his headband back in place.

"I can tell you're close with your dad."

She blinked her green orbs upon hearing this but smiled, shyly nodding her head. She played with her strand much like her father did as she spoke about him.

"Yeah, he's been a big influence on my life already." She blushed and became quiet when she realised she let out a secret blunder. Cameron didn't seem to be aware and nodded his head as he listened so she continued. I could tell they were strangely comfortable with one and other. That always seemed to happen with a couple of members of our gang. Wonderful things always happened after realising there was an unexplainable connection.

"I love my dad. But some people think he's bad."

Cameron's eyebrows knitted together upon hearing this and his eyes glinted as he thought about her words.

"Why do they think that?"

Jayde shrugged and broke open a sugar packet, drawing circles in the fine white powder. She looked down as she spoke this time.

"The things he does, I guess. The things he has done."

Cameron stayed silent for a few moments before copying what she was doing with the sugar but with a packet of salt. He smiled at her when she eventually looked up again.

"So he has a story. And I'm pretty sure you do too."

Jayde rolled her eyes as this subject was mentioned again but it was in a more fond way and she let out shy giggles.

"You're obsessed with stories, aren't you?"

Cameron denied this by saying 'no' and shaking his head. Jayde smirked and didn't believe him and this caused the male to sigh quietly in defeat and look at her with an innocent squint.

"There's just something about you. I just know there's more to you than you're letting on. I know these things."

Jayde raised an eyebrow at this and she broke open another sugar packet, her cheeks still shyly pink. She didn't speak for a moment and she drew her name in the sugar with her finger before looking up at him. She couldn't help but speak to him.

"Maybe there are some things about me. Things about me and my family. Me mostly. They're not something you share with a stranger."

Cameron smiled at this and hugged onto his folded arms, leaning across the table curiously.

"I'm not a stranger though. You might be the author and I might be the reader."

I couldn't help but smirk slightly at this. Someone may think that was a cheesy or perhaps cute chat up line but oh no. This was young Cameron. He wasn't so knowledgeable when it came to romance and females.

Jayde shook her head and looked down, using her hand to brush away her name off the table. Cameron's bottom lip came out at her response but it wasn't in a pressuring way. He was as curious as a child. He just wanted to know and understand.

The khaki haired male stayed silent and he continued looking at her with those soulful eyes of his. Jayde sighed quietly when she looked up, blushing when she met them.

"Okay…" she mumbled, biting her lip as she couldn't quite believe she was considering telling him. "Okay, I guess I'll tell you."

I watched with a slight lump in my throat. She was about to let a huge part of who she was and a huge part of what she hadn't quite learned to accept yet into the hands of Cameron.

He just smiled at her, his light teal orbs already full of wonder and his expression full of acceptance and curiosity.

Jayde sucked the air through her teeth and played with her hands secretly under the table. Her eyes met his and the words couldn't help but come out.

"I'm not technically fourteen. I am a teenager but I'm not fourteen."

When Cameron tilted his head on one side, she continued.

"You won't believe me but I'm actually technically only a few months old."

When Cameron's mouth hung open and his eyes were laced with a million questions in his head, Jayde looked down and recounted the truth. How she was grown in a laboratory along with Jayme, made to be a teenager and the perfect Team Rocket agent using her parent's DNA. How as soon as her parent's found out, they knew they had to adopt both their teenage children, regardless of their ages, money situations or amount of questions they received. She told him the truth and it was hard but I knew that after she had said it aloud a few times, she would start to accept it herself.

After Jayde had explained everything, Cameron remained quiet for a few moments. When he next spoke, his eyes were glinting with so many emotions that he had heard this.

"You're telling the truth aren't you?" he asked Jayde but before she could tell him that of course she was, he just smiled and nodded. "I know you are. I heard about that in the papers. You're the kid."

Jayde flushed slightly when she realised she actually had told him the truth and she just nodded, looking down at the remaining sugar crystals on the table.

Cameron continued smiling, running his fingers through his hair.

"That is awesome, Jayde, that is awesome."

Her head snapped up upon hearing this and her green orbs grew wide with complete shock at his words.

"Awesome…?" she repeated, showing that this was the last thing she thought about how she was bought into this world.

Cameron nodded, looking at the ceiling as his eyes were filled with passion and inspiration.

"Yeah, of course. So many people are just ordinary but you are awesome as soon as you took your first breath. Not many people can say that. You have a gift of seeing the world with the brain of a teenager but the innocence and eyes of an infant. You must think so much of everything you see."

Jayde couldn't help but smile and shrug, one hand playing with her hair and the other casually resting on the table.

"I've actually never thought of it like that. I just always thought everything was so strange and unexplainable and kind of difficult."

Cameron just smiled, looking at her with eyes full of innocence and respect. When he didn't say anything for one of the first times that day, Jayde smirked gently at him.

"I can't believe I just told you I was grown by a dude and you're still looking at me like I'm human."

Cameron blushed himself this time and laughed quietly, looking down at the table as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. When he looked up, he was full of sincerity.

"One thing the world has taught me is to accept. You gotta accept or it just destroys you and the things around you. Life is too short not to look at everything with fresh eyes and wonder."

Jayde nodded upon hearing his words and I could tell she was going to hold that lesson in her mind for a very long time.

Cameron sighed in satisfaction and the two of them both blushed as their hands clumsily brushed one and other's as they stretched. I smirked at those two and once that cute blunder had happened, Cameron nodded his head and reflected on what he had heard.

"So that's why some people don't like your father? He was in Team Rocket?" he looked at her, his eyes full of depth that showed he didn't think that was a good enough reason.

Jayde sighed quietly herself and squinted at him in the way he had done to her earlier.

"Sure. That might be why." She said in a vague manner, resting her hand back on the table. I wondered if she young person was secretly hoping it may brush Cameron's again. "What about your family? What about your dad?"

Cameron glanced at the ceiling and thought for a moment before looking back at her, giving a half smile that showed off a dimple of his.

"My dad?" he repeated, placing his hand next to hers on the table and his pinky finger lightly grazing hers. "That's for another day."

Jayde blinked curious green orbs at him but she soon smiled, her cheeks blushing from the slight contact with Cameron. When she recovered, she smiled a smile that showed off her own dimple like her father's.

"I'll have to hold you to that." She replied simply, giving Cameron a sincere smile. He returned it and gave her a nose of the head as his finger touched hers more boldly.

"I should hope so. I was lucky enough to hear your story."

I glanced at those two smile at one another for a few more moments before I went back to hunting for that blasted key.

Jayde needed to accept herself and Cameron just so happened to be one of the most accepting people that I know. I don't believe in coincidence when it comes to encounters such as those. People are meant to get to know one and other. People are sent to try you, inspire you, make you laugh, make you learn and break your heart. Sometimes, however, just sometimes they are sent to fall in love with you and you may fall in love with them back. And maybe, just maybe, you'll end up spending the rest of your life with them.

The End.


There you go! Thanks again for reading and I hope you enjoyed :3 So yeah this pretty much introduced the character of Jayde and also a bit more into Cameron. Like she mentioned, she was grown in a laboratory and meant to grow into the perfect Team Rocket agent with Jayme but Jessie and James had quit by the time they were fully grown and adopted them instead. They were young parents with teenagers but they made it work :P Maybe in the future I'll write more romantically about Jayde and Cameron. In this they're both so young and innocent but clearly accepting of one and other. Maybe I'll also write about Cameron's dad. Like he said, that's for another day :P Thanks again and I'll be back on Wednesday so see you then!
