James Point Of View
We walked into Brock's house and looked around, The front door opened into a small hall. In front of us were a pair of double doors, Brock opened these and we walked into a large living room with various doors heading out from it. Brock motioned for us to sit and we did so.
Jessie took hold of my hand and held it tightly as we sat there, Brock sat down in a nearby chair and said, "I'm glad you were able to make it, I was beginning to get a little worried about you guys."
"You were?" Jess asked she was shocked that he had been worried about us, I guess I was too.
He grinned and said "Of course I was, James told me what happened."
"Oh." Jess said, looking down at our joint hands. It was strange she was being so quiet. I guess she was scared she'd say something to upset Brock, that he'll kick us out and then we'd have no where to go.
I looked across at him and said, "You don't know what this means to us, we really didn't have anyone else to turn to."
"That's OK," Brock answered, he was about to say something else when I heard the front door open and a couple of seconds later the double doors opened. Standing there was a young woman I'd never seen before. She was about Jessie's height with long brown hair that went down to the middle of her back and brown eyes. She was carrying a couple of large shopping bags, Brock jumped up and rushed over to her and took the bags.
She smiled at him and he whispered something to her before walking of into the side rooms. She took off her coat, hooked it up and then walked over to us. I was a little worried as she still hadn't said anything to us yet, I just hoped that she didn't mind us being her. She then smiled and said, "Hi, you must be Jessie and James. I'm May Oak, Brock's told me a lot about you guys."
She then stuck her hand out for a shake, I took it and said "Yep that's us, What's Brock been saying about us?"
She grinned, let go of my hand, shook Jessie's and sat in the chair that Brock had been sitting in before answering, "Oh nothing bad, Just that he used to know you from when he was on his Pokemon journey with Ash and that you sometimes helped them when they were in trouble." I didn't want to tell her that most of their troubles had been caused by us, so I just nodded. I wondered why Brock hadn't told her the whole truth. I was also wondering where Professor Oak was after all this was his lab but he didn't seem to be here. I was just about to ask her where he was when Brock walked back into the room carrying a large plate of doughnuts and anything I might have said was lost to the fact that I was hungry.
He grinned at us and handed Jessie the plate, she took it and placed it in between us before taking one. I took one too, and ate it as quickly as possible before taking another, this one I ate more slowly. Jess smiled softly at me and shock her head, she knew how food affected me especially doughnuts. Brock smiled, lent over and kissed May on the cheek before sitting down on another nearby chair.
We finished the doughnuts of in recorded time, and mostly we just talked about the past, stuff like that, getting used to each other before Brock brought the conversation round to more serious issues.
"What's the likely hood of your ex-boss finding out your still alive?" he asked, I gulped, I hadn't thought about that, Jess patted me on the knee before answering "Butch and Cassidy won't say anything 'cause then they would be in danger to. So the only way he'd find out is if we're spotted by another team."
They both nodded softly and May said, "We'll have to go about changing what you look like, Brock says you used to wear a lot of disguises so I'm sure we can think of something. Secondly you can work for us, we'll pay you of course and you can stay in the spare room if you wish. I think that's everything, if we can work this out things will be just fine." Jess smiled and I knew things would be OK, and that Jess agreed with May and Brock's ideas. I nodded and replied, "I think that we'll like working here but there's no way you guys are going to get me in a dress again."
Brock started laughing, May looked shocked and Jess just shock her head and tried hard not to laugh as well. I blushed slightly, I guess Brock never told her about some of our more drastic disguises. Brock manage to get himself under control and said, "Don't worry James, I don't think we'll have to go that far although that would certainly put them off the scent." and he started laughing again. I was beginning to wish I hadn't said anything now.
Jess was losing the battle with her laughter, she grinned at me and said, "What's the matter James, I thought you made the cooolest girl after all." With that she started laughing too. I buried my face in my hands so they couldn't see how red I was becoming, I was never going to live that down was I? After a couple of minuets the two of them got themselves under control again, Brock explained to May about our crossdressing disguises and she agreed that it was kind of funny. At least he didn't mention the episode with the blow-up breasts, I still had nightmares about those things.
May grinned at me and said, "Don't worry no dresses but I have got some hair dye, that lavender colour is just too rare so we're have to change that to something more common," she then turned to look at Jess, "we'll have to do something with your hair as well. Dye it perhaps or at least style it differently." Jess nodded but I could see she wasn't to happy about that I knew how much she loved her hair. I nodded also although I wasn't happy about it either, I loved my hair too after all, but needs must and all that.
May nodded again and said, "It's getting late now we'll sort it all out in the morning, it'll give you time to think about what you want done," She stood up and started pointing at the doors saying, "the kitchen's through there, the door next to it leads down to the research area and outside to the breeding areas. Over to the left are the two bedrooms each one has a built in bathroom so you won't have to worry about sharing with us. It is OK for you to share a room isn't it?"
I nodded, "Yeah we've been doing that for years, so that's no problem."
She grinned at us and saying goodnight before heading of to her bedroom. Brock yawned softly and said that he also was going to bed. He then got up and disappeared into the same room May had gone into. Well that was a surprise, I didn't think the two of them were sleeping together not that it was any of my business or anything.
Jess looked at me and said softly, "I guess we'd better head to bed too, we'll gonna have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
I grinned at her and nodded, suddenly nervous although I wasn't sure why. We both got up and headed into the other bedroom where we were greeted by another shock. Someone had gone to a lot of trouble preparing this room for us. There were vases of roses all over the place, even the bedcovers had roses on them. I smiled softly, I'd have to thank them in the Morning.
Jess smiled at me and then began to undress, removing her skirt, top, boots and gloves before slipping under the covers. Blushing slightly I removed my black T-shirt, white trousers, boots and gloves till I was only wearing the boxers she'd brought me last Christmas. They had little Growliths on them. Still blushing I climbed under the covers and she snuggled up to me still not saying a word. I looked down at her and kissed her softly on the lips and she kissed me back.
We lay together then, me on my back, her resting her head against my shoulder our bodies pressed as close together as possible.
She smiled softly at me and said, "So James do you think we can be happy here?"
I kissed her before replying "Yeah, I think we'll do well here as long as we're careful."
She didn't ask what I meant, she knew. She yawned then and I reached over and turned out the lamp. I wrapped my arms around her holding her close and as we drifted of to sleep she told me she loved me once again.
