Jessie and James were hugging in fear when the big intimidated man stepped into the room. They expected him to be infuriated and they thought he’s going to kill them for sure, but to their surprise, he was smiling at them contentedly.
“Bravo! Bravo! Bravo, Jessie and James!” He clapped his hands slowly and laughed an evil, scary laugh. Jessie and James looked at him, and then at each other. The boss was obviously out of his mind. He saw the confused looks on their faces and smiled a big evil smile.
“What a show you both put up!”
“A show?” Jessie asked, hiding behind James.
“Oh, yes... the way you fell for Amy” He looked at James and then turned back to Jessie, “And you, the way you begged her not to force you to kill James... And the look on both your faces when Jessie pulled out the gun and you thought she was going to kill you... But Jessie- you- shooting Amy like that... That was the greatest improvisation I’ve ever seen! What a great idea!”
James and Jessie, still in a fear hug, looked at him with wide opened eyes.
“What are you saying, boss? You told me to kill James!” Jessie was starting to get the picture.
“Of course I did. I was trying to test your skills, and your loyalty to the team. You did everything in an extraordinary way, but I’m not surprised. Just like your mother- always doing it in the best way possible!” Giovanni had that strange look on his face when he mentioned Myamoto, Jessie’s mother, again.
“A test? A show?" Jessie's eyes filled with tears. That what it was all about? A show? An amusement for the boss!? She was going through hell, she thought she was going to kill her best friend... her only friend and the only one she truly loves! And poor James... he was led to believe that somebody fell in love with him, Amy broke his heart!
Jessie heard Giovanni laughing his evil laughter and felt frighteningly mad and frustrated. She was totally blind with hatred and madness. Her face turned red and she lost all control over herself, and could hardly understand what was happening to her. She reached to the gun and pointed it directly to the boss’ head.
“I suggest that you prepare for troubles!”
“Yeah,” James stood behind her and pulled out a rose, god knows from where, “And make them double!” The boss was still smiling, and the gun pointed to his head didn’t seem to bother him much. Before Jessie could understand what was happening, with a single hit, the boss whacked the back of her hand and the gun was flying out of her hand and on the floor. She looked at the gun in horror and then into the boss’ eyes, and she suddenly noticed they were way too close to hers. He wasn’t smiling anymore; instead he stared at her with an expressionless face.
“You should be happy that you are so amusing together, otherwise I would have gotten you both dead a long time ago.” And after saying that, he turned around quickly and went out of the room, leaving Jessie and James stunned.
“What a horrible man.” James was still holding the rose.
“Yeah, but he’s still our boss.”
Suddenly the door opened again, and Jessie and James were too afraid to think who is behind it this time. Suddenly a yellow-furred Cat-Pokemon entered the room.
“Meowth!” they shouted together.
“Jessieeeeee! Jamessssssss!” The Pokemon jumped into James’ arms, laughing happily, Pokemon tears shining in his eyes- “Yar really here! And yar alive!"
“Yes, we are..." James smiled, looking at Jessie.
“I thought you were dead!"
“Well, we thought so too...” laughed Jessie.
“What happened? What did da boss want?” Jessie and James looked at each other. “We’re... not so sure...”
The Pokemon seemed happy to see his good friends were alive, but suddenly Moewht’s face turned red. “Don’t ya ever do dis ta me again, you crazy idiots !” he yelled, pulled out his claws and scratched Jessie and James’ face.
“YOU!” Jessie screamed, “You’ve ruined my perfection! Come here so I’ll make you pay!!!”
“Wahhhh!” Meowth ran out through the door and Jessie ran after him, yelling something about revenge, and killing Meowth with her bare hands. James stood another moment in Mondo’s living room, smiling to himself. ‘Some things never change’, he thought, and went out of the room, following his partners.
