[January 12] [Pokemon] Gift
Title: Gift
Day/Theme: January 12/one thing I can treat myself to, and if it's to be had I mean to have it
Series: Pokemon
Character/Pairing: Rocketshipping (Jessie/James)
Rating: G
Warning: Fluff. And it's just silly.
Word Count: 349
A.N.: This actually would work better for tomorrow's theme, but I honestly hadn't really looked at tomorrow's -- it started out as today's. Anyway...
James sat slumped on the park bench. Jessie had been gone all night and wouldn’t let him come with her. Meowth had a date. He tried not to think about who or what Meowth had a date with.
Finally he heard her walking through the grass, knowing who it was without even looking.
“Happy Birthday, James.” She sat next to him.
“You remembered!” he said happily. “But why do you look so sad?”
“Because this is all I could get you.” She handed him an apple.
“Well, thanks!” said James cheerfully.
“The thing was, I wanted to get you… I wanted to get you Growlie back. Which meant I had to go all the way back to where your parents live… and that butler of yours caught me and wouldn’t believe it was for you.”
“He’s not a bad guy, really…” said James.
“No, but he has a gun.”
“Are you OK?” asked James with concern.
“Yeah, he can’t run very fast at his age. Anyway, I thought I’d get you some other kind of Pokemon but a nurse Joy caught me sneaking into the Pokemon center and … they don’t call that Blissey attack “double slap” for nothing.”
“Why did you do all this for me?” he asked.
“I don’t know! I just felt like we’re elite Team Rocket agents and you deserved something better than fruit… which you may not want to eat.”
“I like apples!” he said.
“I got that one out of the trash bin behind the supermarket,” Jessie confessed.
James shrugged and took a bite anyway. “It’s good.”
He put his head down on her shoulder and she just let him.
“I think we’re stuck on this bench for the night,” she said.
“Meowth is still out on his date,” said James. “I wonder what kind of Pokemon she is.”
She shook her head. “Date? I saw him just now walking down the street wearing a little suit, with Officer Jenny next to him.”
James’s eyes widened. “I’m going to go with believing he got arrested.”
Jessie nodded. “Yeah, let’s just keep thinking that.”
