Author’s note: This fanfic is a lot different than my other fanfics. It's a bit crazy but I think It’ll turn out ok at the end- please tell me what you think - jessie_mbx@hotmail.com. This address is temporarily (I hope) dead, so in the mean while send you're thoughts to atweiss@ibm.net (damn it I really hate posting this e-mail address but I can’t live with out your comments :] ) Pokemon and Team Rocket are not mine- don’t sue, all rights reserved so don’t steal... blah blah. Also I believe that this story rates PG... or R (I really don’t know what those letters mean anyway)- violence and a bit of cursing. Sorry!

Part 1

“James, you idiot! I can’t believe you did that!” Jessie was all red and, angry, holding her big paper fan, ready to strike.

“Yeah, James, are ya nuts?!” Meowth was pretty angry too.

“I don’t understand what are you yelling at me for, what did I do?”

“What did you do?! You pulled Arbok's tail and let that stupid Pikachu kick our ass!" yelled Jessie.

“And why didn’t ya call any of your Pokemons out ta help us?" added Meowth.

“I didn’t think it was necessary...”

“Wasn’t necessary!?” Jessie was really pissed off,

“That dumb twerp used three Pokemons! What were you thinking?”

“I’m sorry, Jessie”, whined James.

“Don’t apologize to Jessie, apologize to the boss.”

James’ face turned all white. Oh yeah, The boss.

“You wanted to see me?” Jessie stood in front of the big man, who was sitting in his chair, petting his Persian. She was all shaking with fear, if the boss wanted to see her in person, it probably means troubles.

“Yes, Jessie.” The low voice said, “I wanted to talk with you about your partner.”

“James? Oh, you see, sir, he was just..."

“I know what he was doing”, The boss interrupted her roughly, “He was failing the team again, as always. It’s about time he will be shown the way out.”

“Out?” Jessie’s voice filled with fear.

“Yes. He’s not good for the team. You are an excellent Team Rocket member, Jessie. Just like your mother.” Giovanni had a strange look in his eyes when he mentioned Jessie’s mom. “James is just standing in your way. I think you should be the one to show him the way out.”

“You want me to tell him that he’s fired?”

“No, I want you to eliminate him.”

Jessie felt like she was about to fall down. Everything turned black in front of her eyes. “WHAT?! KILL HIM!?”

“That’s what I said.” The boss sounded very calm.

“I can’t... I won’t do it!" She was surprised by the sudden courage that made her stand up against the big boss.

“You will. If you won’t, you both die. At least save yourself, because he’s not coming out of it alive.” Jessie’s eyes filled with tears. “ I can’t! Don’t do it, sir, please!” she cried.

“You will do what you are told. I’m sending a new girl to be a part of your team and make sure you’ll do what you have to.”

“But why? Why me? Why won’t you send that damn girl to do it?” She leaned weakly against the wall. She was afraid that she will fall down and never get up.

“You need to do it yourself. It will make you tougher.”

“Tougher...” She whispered the last word.

“It’s done. The girl will be sent to you tomorrow. You have until the end of the week to do it. If you won’t or if you say a word about it to James or try to sabotage on this mission- You both die. Now get out of here.”

Jessie couldn’t walk, she could hardly see anything through the tears that filled her eyes.

“Go!” yelled Giovanni and Jessie dragged her self out.

She was crying hysterically all the way back to where James and Meowth were. She could hardly walk, her body felt weak and lifeless. She wanted to die, to be the one who’s going to be executed instead of James. Before she came near the place where they were staying, she wiped the tears and fixed her make-up so that no one will notice that she was crying.

“Hi Jess, where have you been?” James asked cheerfully. He was fixing dinner. “The food is almost ready."

“I was just wandering around, and I’m not hungry.” She answered, unable to hold her tears back.

“Jessie, what’s wrong?” James came closer to her and gave her a worried look, straight into her eyes.

“I’m fine, James, Leave me alone. “She said and turned her head away from him. “I just have a headache, and I’m going to sleep now.”
