Want To Be Something
Part 2

Okay. Sorry for not updating for so long. Hope you like anyway. Oh, This story is dedicated to
my good friend Angel*Clefairy for being such a good friend.

***They started to walk off. Behind them was a big green forest where they had just came from.
They branches were gently swaying in the wind. The sound of the creek could slightly be heard
just somewhere inside. James suddenly stopped Jessie***

Jessie-"What? Why did you stop me?"

James-"Remember what Meowth said? He wanted us to stay here so he'd be able to find us
again. I don't know if it's a good idea to leave."

***A light breeze rippled through Jessie's hair. She didn't say anything for a minute in which
time the sun faded in and out through the cotton-ball clouds***

Jessie-"Would he listen to us?"

James-"Probably not."

Jessie-"Exactly. I miss him and I'm going to find him. It's not the same without his wise-crack
remarks."

James-"It's not the same but it certianly is nice."

Jessie-"Maybe. Come on. Let's go."

***They began marching through a grassy field. The tops of the grass stalks were bending
slightly as they were pointing toward the sun. They walked throrugh a burr patch and came out
with burrs sticking to them***

Jessie-"Let's take a break. I have to get these annoying things off of my cloths and out of
my hair."

***It was true that she was covered with burrs. The apperance of them in her hair and cloths
made it look like someone had been throwing mud at her. James didn't look much better***

Jessie-"These-stupid-burrs-are-really-ticking-me-off."

***She spoke one word with every burr she pulled off***

James-"Yea. They're annoying alright. Anyway, let's take a break. I'm getting a bit hungry and
thirsty."

Jessie-"Yea. I am too."

***They smoothed out a patch of grass beneath an oak tree and started eating. Every once and
awhile a fluffy Cumulus cloud would float across the sky and block the sun for a short time.
After about 15 minutes, they packed everything away and stood up***

Jessie-"Let's go."

***They had barely started walking for 5 minutes when they came across a swirling river that
was moving at a remarkable pace. The water kept splashing up in great jets and bounding over
rocks. Some splashed up to Jessie and she got a faceful***

James-"How are we supposed to get across this?"

Jessie-"We'll have to try, won't we?"

James-"I guess."

***Together, they began wading into the turbulent water. They stopped when they were knee
deep***

Jessie-"I don't like this. It looks like we have another 90 feet to go."

James-"Hold on. Look Jessie! There's an island 20 feet from us and there's calm water in front of
it. If we can just get there, we'll be able to make it to the shore!"

Jessie-"What about the water that rushes around it?"

James-"We'll just have to do our best to get through it. Come on. Let's go."

***They started walking out farther. They got waist deep. Then stomach deep. Then they finally
stopped when they got chest deep***

James-"It's no good. We have to try swimming there. We're only 10 feet away from the island."

Jessie-"And the current's strong enough to push me down the river! We have to walk through
James! I'm already almost getting lifted off my feet from the current."

James-"We have to try! Come on Jessie! Please?"

Jessie-"Okay. I guess so. Let's try."

***They started swimming toward the island. Suddenly, Jessie screamed***

Jessie-"James! Help! It's pushing me away!"

James-"Swim toward the calm water!"

Jessie-"I can't!"

James-"Try! You're almost to the end of the calm water! If you don't, you'll drown!"

***He had managed to get into the calm water and was now trying to reach for Jessie***

James-"Take my hand!"

***She reached out and grabbed his hand. He pulled her into the calmer water and helped her
onto dry land***

Jessie-"I never want to go through that again."
