	Jesse, James, and Meowth took one look at their boss and knew this 
meeting would be bad. Meowth gulped quietly, and Jesse and James waited 
for their boss to speak. They knew that their day had come to say good-bye 
to Team Rocket forever.
	“I’m not pleased with your efforts as Team Rocket members. All your 
previous efforts have failed, and I’m sad to say that your branch of Team 
Rocket has almost destroyed everything that early Team Rocket members 
have ever worked for,” the Boss said sternly.
	“What does this mean for us?” Jesse asked even though she already 
knew the answer she would get.
	“You’re fired!” the Boss said.
	“But, Boss, you can’t! We’ve worked for you for years!” James said.
	“I live here! This is my home! Where else could we go?” Meowth 
exclaimed.
	“Well, Meowth, you can stay with one of them. But you all need to 
leave for your homes immediately,” the Boss said casually as he waved them 
out of his office. “Oh, don’t forget to turn in your uniforms and weapons.”
	Jesse, James, and Meowth stopped walking once they were outside of 
the Boss’s office. They all stared at each other.
	“James, I would like Meowth to stay with you for now,” Jesse said.
	“Why, aren’t you coming with us to see where we are going to live 
now?” James asked.
	“No, I am going to return home to my parents,” Jesse said.
	“But I thought you hated your parents, Jesse,” James said.
	“I still hate them. But I know that they would like to see me after all 
these years,” Jesse said as they began to walk toward a flight of stairs. They 
silently walked down them. They finally reached the service desk where a 
young girl with blonde hair sat frowning a computer.
	“Oh, hello, how may I help you?” she asked.
	“Yes, I would like my thing from room #124 sent down,” Jesse said.
	“Oh, I’m sorry, but there is nothing in that room right now,” the girl 
said checking the computer screen.
	“What? My stuff is supposed to be up there,” Jesse said, staring at the 
girl.
	“Well, I had a guard clean out the rooms #122, #123, and #124. All of 
you were fired. Your stuff should be here,” she said pointing to a luggage 
cart that was loaded with suitcases.
	“None of that is my stuff,” Jesse said.
	“I’m sorry,” the girl said. “But anyway, please go change into a 
different outfit other than a uniform.”
	“I have nothing else to change into,” Jesse said.
	“I don’t care,” the girl said. Jesse leaned forward getting ready to 
strangle the girl.
	“Jesse, don’t hurt her. Just change into some of my jeans and grab one 
of my t-shirts,” James said, pointing toward the luggage cart.
	“But I won’t see you for a very long time,” Jesse said.
	“Yeah, but this way I’ll make sure that I see you again,” James said.
	“I’ll mail them to you,” Jesse said, unzipping his suitcase and taking 
out a pair of his blue jeans with holes in the knees and a red t-shirt. She 
changed quickly in a nearby bathroom, and she handed her uniform to the 
girl.
	“I’ll see you some other time,” Jesse said.
	“E-mail me,” James said. “I know you remember it.”
	Jesse hugged Meowth and James. She also kissed James on the cheek. 
She walked toward the door and walked through the door she had just 
opened. Jesse slammed the door of the Team Rocket Head Quarters. Rage 
flowed through her. Her whole life had been ripped away, and now she 
would have to return to her parents. She did not want to go, but she knew it 
was the right thing to do.
