Then, Jessie did something totally unexpected. She got up and went over to Ash, and leaned down to give him a hug. Jessie: Thanks for being here. I don't even know why. We've tried to steal Pikachu I don't know how many times. *sigh* But there were some pretty cheesy ways we've tried to take him. Ash: Yeah, I know. But, at least you were persistant. I'll give you that much. Jessie leaves the room to go to the cafeteria which leaves James and Ash alone. James tries to move his arm, but it hurt him too much. James: Hey, Ash. Will you reach into that drawer right there and pull out the box? Ash: Sure. What is it? James: A ring, for Jessie. I'm going to ask her to marry me. Ash: Wow, congradulations. And, you want me to leave the room, right? James: No, I want you right here. I want you to be the best man. Ash: Me?? Uhm, if you want me to, sure. James: Great, and now we play the waiting game........ ***Cafeteria*** Jessie is sitting at a table with Misty while eating the "special surprise". She thought to herself that she didn't even want to know what it was. It just helped her feel better. Jessie: Why won't he tell me? Misty: He could be just nervous about telling you and how you'll react. Jessie: Or, he might not return the feelings. Oh, why did it have to be him that I fall in love with. Misty: It's destiny. You two were meant to be with each other. Jessie: Thanks anyways. Jessie gets up and walks off to the lobby to watch whatever show was on the television. She sat down next to a guy who had his eyes glued to a movie. She looks at him and thinks that she may as well try flirting. Jessie: Hey, what's your name? Dustin: Dustin Hagen. You're Jessie from Team Rocket. Jessie: Used to be. I'm getting out. Dustin: Darn, I was hoping to see you in that outfit again. You looked pretty cute. Jessie: Thanks. Why are you here? Dustin: Give you moral support, but the doctors wouldn't give me his room number. Jessie: It doesn't matter, he doesn't love me back. Dustin: What a shame. He's missing out on a lot. Jessie: Will you do one thing for me? Dustin: What? ***James's room*** Doctor: You can walk around, but only to the cafeteria and the lobby. No where else, got it? James: Got it. [Doctor exits] Ash: Cafeteria? James: Cafeteria. ***Cafeteria (my fingers hurt from all this typing, lol)*** [Ash walks in front of James and hold the door open so he can get through with the cruches] Misty: [walks up] Wow, you're walking. James: Yeah, bloody friggin miracle. Where's Jessie? Misty: The lobby. She was pretty upset that you wouldn't love her back. James: I was going to propose to her. Misty: To the lobby!!!! James/Ash: ???????? ***The Lobby*** Dustin: What? Jessie: Kiss me. Dustin: Uhm, ok. James walks in the lobby with Ash and Misty following. He stood still as he watched his love kiss another guy. It seemed like forever before they parted. Jessie looked up to see James hopping away, dropping a box. Ash and Misty were staring at her with mouths wide open. Jessie: What's wrong with him? Ash/Misty: Look at the box. Jessie picked up the box and stared at its content. A beautiful silver ring with a leaf engraved in it. An emerald was placed in the middle of this leaf.On the inside of the ring said, "To the love of my life. Love forever, James". Jessie: Oh my god, what have I done? Jessie ran after James who hopped into his room and almost shut the door, but Jessie's foot was in the way. He hopped over to his bed and pulled the covers up to his face, and he turned away from her. Jessie: James, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I thought you didn't love me back. So I decided to kiss the first guy I saw. James: *cold stare* That's no excuse to hurt me like that. *turns away* Jessie: How was I suppose to know? You never had the guts to tell me. James: I figured it was obvious. Jessie: Obvious to the kids. They were the ones who knew about our feelings more than we were. James: I was going to ask you to marry me. Jessie: Well, you still can. If I'd known that you loved me, I wouldn't have ran and kissed a random guy. James: Did you bring the box? Jessie: Yeah. James: Let's wait for the kids to come back. I want them here when I do it. Jessie: Ok. ***The Lobby*** Guard: I don't care if he kissed your friend when your friend was liked by your other friend, you do not go around and beat people up! Misty: He knew better. He's watched Jessie on television with James right by her side. Guard: You need to settle down and go back to his room, or get out of here. Your choice. Misty: *spits at Dustin's feet* Scum! Dustin: (at this moment, i would advise that such language that he said will be replaced with long and confusing speeches such as this one. Thank you.) Ash threw a sucker punch which knocked him off his feet. Ash took Misty's hand and walked back to the room. They didn't even bother to hear Dustin get yelled at for calling Misty what he did. They walked in the room and James couldn't hold it in any longer. James: Jessie? Jessie: Hmm? James: Marry me. Misty: *squeal* Ash: Hallejuah! Jessie: Yes!!!!! ************************************************************************ Sorry, it took so long. But, there will be 2 more parts and then the epilogue. After this, I'll finish my law and order story, and then it's the premiere of my new story I'm working on.
