Narrator: (Bursts into the author's office, holding the script in his hand.) What's this? I don't any lines at ALL in this episode! WHY? Author: Well, uh... this one is supposed to be like an "un- official" episode, it's sort of like in-between episodes 8 and 9... Narrator: Then why does it still have an episode number? Hmm? Riddle me THAT, laughing-boy! Author: Er... so I could remember the order the episodes go in? Narrator: I don't think so! Watch your back, little guy! I got your number! I won't stand for this! (He storms out of the office growling.) (Beginning of Story)------------------------------------------ Episode #008-1: All's Fair in Love and War (and Spy-Movies) ~~~~~~Part 1 of 2~~~~~~~ (The scene: Team Rocket HQ. Night. James' and Teem's apart- ment. Teem is passed out drooling on the sofa [his usual sleeping posture], with Delet on his stomach; James is laying back on his bed, but staring at the ceiling in thought.) Narrator: Our story begins tonight at Team Rocket Headqua-- Author: GET OUT OF HERE! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LINES! DEAL WITH IT!!! Narrator: Mark my words, Writer-Boy, I won't stand for this! I will have my revenge! James: (Listens to the Author and Narrator fighting, then shakes his head and goes back into thought. He sighs, takes a rose from the stand next to his bed, and looks at it.) What am I going to do now? I can't sleep. All I can do is think about Jessie. I love her more than anyone else in the world! I've never felt that way about anyone before... (Sigh.) But now the Boss has Alex and Abra to keep us apart. Maybe I should just... quit and go back home... the thrill of Team Rocket is gone without her... (He blinks a tear away, then perks up.) Unless Teem has an idea! He said he was working on something! (He rushes out of his room and into the living room where a small blue Saiyan is lying unconcious on the sofa.) Teem: ZZZZzzzz... (Drool.) Redrum... ZZZZzzzz... Redrum... Delet: (She purrs quietly.) Deeellllllleeeet... ZZZZzzzz... James: (He taps Teem's shoulder.) Teem? Teem: ::blinkblink:: Huhhhhh? (He looks up at James and screams, Delet spazzes out and latches onto Teem's face in fear.) James: You awake, Teem? Teem: (Wrenches Delet off of his face.) I am now!!! O o; What in the name of Al Gore's tree surgeon did you scare me like that for? James: Sorry... I've just been up all night... thinking... (He looks down depressively.) Teem: Oh... about Jessie, right? (He pats Delet. Delet purrs and snuggles into his arms.) James: (He nods.) Mmm hmm... I really love her, Teem. Teem: (He sighs.) Awwww... how sweeeeeet... ^_^ (James makes a frustrated noise and rolls his eyes.) Teem: Don't worry, James, I've been working on something... I just need to test and see if my theories are correct... James: ::blinkblink:: Theories? Teem: (Rolls his eyes.) Don't tell me you haven't noticed the way Alex acts about Abra. Delet: ::blinkblink:: Delet? James: ::blinkblink:: What? Teem: (Sighs, obviously not someone who suffers fools well.) I think he's got a thing for her, genius, I just need a chance to check his journal... and Abra's diary... if I could just get my hands on them... James: Teem, it's wrong to read other peoples' personal diaries. Teem: ::blinkblink:: Yeah, what's your point? James: I dunno, but if it'll get Jessie and me together again, then get working on it now, Teem! Teem: What? You want me to go snatch their diaries NOW? That's crazy! It's ludicrous! It's... it's... it's... (Impersonates that guy from "The Princess Bride.") INCONTHEIVABLE! James: You've done crazier things. Delet: (Nods.) Delet, del! Teem: Like what? James: Like the time you thought you could fly. Teem: (Blushes and looks down.) Well... most Saiyans can... James: And the time you tried to avoid arrest by telling Officer Jenny that you're an American citizen. Teem: (Defensively.) How was I to know I had to still be living in America to be a citizen? James: (Rolls his eyes.) Well anyway, Teem, I want you to get to work! I can't take another day with Abra and Alex keeping us apart like this! Teem: Alright, alright, GEEZE! Why don't you two just get married? JEEPERS! (He hands Delet over to James.) Here, watch my little baby. ^_^ (James rolls his eyes.) Okay... (He dashes into the closet and comes out dressed in a suit like a spy and starts speaking with an English accent.) Let's get busy, BABY! (He stalks out and into the hall of the apartments while humming the "James Bond" theme.) James: (Blinks at Delet.) Your trainer's a moron, you know that, Delet? Delet: Del, Let delet let del delet! {Yeah, but he's my moron!} (Happy sigh.) ^_^ (She giggles in a little pokémon way.) Teem: Righto, love, first stop, Jessie and Abra's apartment... (He grins to the camera.) Yeah, baby! (He digs in his pocket and pulls out an twisted paperclip. He then picks at the doorlock with it. The door opens.) ::blinkblink:: Wow... I didn't actually think that would work! O o; (He sneaks in and tries to reach Abra's room, but he bumps into Jessie as he passes by the kitchen.) Jessie: (In a houserobe. Hair down.) Teem? What are you doing here? Teem: (Shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of Jessie in a houserobe, he starts talking into his watch.) Code red! Rectangle orange shot down! This is not a drill! Jessie: ::blinkblink:: Uh... yeah... Teem: (Regains his English accent.) We shall meet again, Madame X! (He jumps up and dashes into Abra's room.) Jessie: (Shakes her head.) Creepy little American... ¬ ¬; Teem: (Notices the end of Abra's diary under her pillow. He inches toward her, when she rolls over and he freezes. He holds out his fingers like a gun and sweats a little. His tail twitches involuntarily.) That's right... Just stay still and no one gets hurt, baby... (Abra doesn't move, Teem heaves a sigh of relief and blushes a little.) Gee... she looks pretty when she's asleep... (He snatches the book and Abra grabs his arm. Teem goes into Austin Powers mode.) Oh, beHAVE, baby... Hehehe Abra: (Sleepily.) Mmmmm... Huh? Teem, is that you? (Teem panics and just as he is about to gnaw his own hand off, Abra lets go. Then he rushes out of the apartment.) Jessie: (Gets a glass of water, watches Teem zoom out of the apartment.) Weirdo... Teem: (Dashes into the hall, puts the diary in his pocket and adjusts his glasses.) Mission One completed! Now... on to Dr. Mephisto's lair... (He straightens his suit and stalks to Alex's apartment, still humming spy music. He turns the doorknob and the door opens instantly.) Hmm... it seems old Mephisto hasn't learned his lesson since our last battle, eh what? Keep your eyes peeled, Bond, old man, there may be dangers aplenty in there... (He sneaks into the apartment, and digs around for Alex's journal. He finally sees it in the bookshelf. He then looks warily at it, slaps on a hat like Indiana Jones and looks down at a book on the floor. He picks up the book, looks at the journal, weighs the other book in his hand and then snatches the journal and jams the book in it's place. Some of the books start to fall and Teem dashes out of the apartment and back into his own, where James is waiting with Delet.) James: Well? Delet: Del? Teem: (He runs into the room humming the "Mission Impos- sible" theme. He pulls out the diaries.) Really, Q, did you actually think that I wouldn't succeed? James: Teem, stop talking like that. Teem: (Snaps back into his eh... Teem accent.) Oh, sorry. (Delet leaps out of James' arms and jumps up on Teem's head.) James: So now what? Teem: (Stumbles as Delet lands.) Stand back, and watch the Master Spy at work... (Evil grin.) James: Teem, you're scary when you smile like that. Teem: I know, hehehe... To Be Continued... -------------------------------------------------------- I know, the ending is a let-down, but I had to split this story into two parts because it would have taken so long.
