(Author's Rantings)------------------------------------------- None, really, aside from the fact that this is actually part of one episode instead of an episode in itself and all that rot, and... Aww... Who cares? Just read on... (Middle of Story)--------------------------------------------- Episode #008-2: Love and Loathing in Team Rocket ~~~~~~Part 2 of 2~~~~~~~ James: So now what's your "Master Plan," Einstein? Teem: (Picks up one of the diaries.) Well, if my deductions are correct, Abra and Alex have a little attraction for each other... (Delet nods in agreement.) James: (Raises an eyebrow wonderingly.) Could have fooled me... Teem: (Nods.) Yeperoonie! ^_^ Well, anyway, I have a plan to get them together (and perhaps in a little trouble [Devious chuckle.], but I had to make sure my facts were straight. (He picks up Abra's diary and skims through it, adjusting his glasses.) Okay... hmm... let's see... Alex, Alex, Al... OH! ::blinkblink:: Here's something about me... She better not have written anything mean! James: Heaven knows I have plenty I could write about you... Teem: (Looks up.) What? James: (His eyes dart around.) Nothing. Teem: Oh... ¬ ¬ Well, anyway... (He reads from the diary and impersonates Abra' voice, sounding exactly like her.) "...today I met short blue guy named Teem... Boy, is he a dope! He's such an idiot! I hate him! He's dumber than a bag of sand!" (Coughs.) Well, for the love of potato-sack mice singin' in a birch tree, that's nice, thanks, Abra. (Rolls his eyes. Delet giggles a little.) James: Teem, how did you get so good at impersonations? Teem: Jessie showed me how to do them. James: (He sighs dreamily.) Oh... Jessie ^_^ Teem: Down, boy... ¬ ¬ (Flips through some more.) OH! (Clears his throat.) "Today I think I realized that I really love Alex. He tends to mess things up a bit, and whine... and yes, he is pretty mean to Teem... But there's something about him that I can't quite figure out..." Awww... how sweet! =^_^= James: O o; ::blinkblink:: She LIKES him? EW! He's such a jerk! Teem: (Rolls his eyes.) Tell me about it... ACK! What's this? "I sort of feel bad for the way I used to treat Teem, he's really not all bad, just annoying..." James: Teem, I hate to break it to you, but we ALL feel that way... except for Alex. Teem: (Announcer voice.) But wait, there's more! "...in fact, Teem's actually pretty cute in his own way. If Alex wasn't around, I think I'd like Teem even more, but that blue skin IS sort of weird..." James: (Rolls around laughing.) HAHAHAHAHA!!! Now THAT'S funny! >_<; Teem: (He makes a weird noise and looks down as the background turns purple.) Waaaagh... - -; Delet: (Pats Teem's head.) Del, del delet del! {Well, I think you're cute, big guy!} Teem: Heh, thanks Del. (He picks up Alex's journal.) Okay, now let's see what my favorite antagonist has to say about all of this... (In Alex's voice.) "...I met this dude called 'Sonic' today. Abra says that they're just old friends, but she sure did seem to like him a lot. The lucky jerk... I wish she liked me like that, but the Boss probably wouldn't like it..." (Teem grins mean-spiritedly and looks up.) Yeah, you know all about that, right (Impersonates Jessie.), "Jamzie, honey?" James: SHUT UP! > <; Teem: Hehehehehe (Looks back in the journal.) "I think she likes Teem too. I hate him, myself. He's a stupid, worth- less, idiot American who says he's a Saiyan but he can't fight for beans! Just looking at him makes me sick!" (Throws the journal on the ground.) Same to you, Mac! > <; Delet: LET DELET!!! > < James: Heh... ¬_¬; So um... You have a plan now? Teem: (Grumbling.) Yeah, sorta', I just have to... Alex: (Bursts into the apartment, red-faced.) ALRIGHT, TEEM! Give me back my journal!!! Teem: Uh... journal? (His tail twitches.) You keep a journal? Hehehehe... (Hides it behind his back.) ^_^; Alex: That's it! You are SO dead!!! (He leaps on Teem and beats him up, James makes that surprised noise of his, and Delet leaps into the fray.) Abra: (Walks in.) Teem, Jessie said something about you going into our apartment and... (Gasps.) IS THAT MY DIARY? TEEM! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! Teem: Eh... would you believe I did it for the betterment of mankind? (Sweatdrop.) OW! Alex! That hurt! Abra: I'll give you the betterment of mankind! (She jumps into the fight, Delet thundershocks them and Alex and Abra go flying off [breaking the roof] and Teem is beaten up and zapped [crooked glasses, ripped vest].) Alex and Abra: Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off aga... ::blinkblink:: Alex: Hey, Abra, should we really say that if we were only fighting another Rocket member? Abra: I... dunno, Alex... ::blinkblink:: James: (Looks up.) Well, that was strange... Teem: (Gets up dizzily and dusts himself off.) What? The whole fight? James: No, the fact that no one else woke up... Teem: Oh, well, yeah... Delet: (Shrugs.) Delet, del. (Later on, Teem is writing in his own diary with Delet sitting on his shoulder.) Teem: "Dear diary, Hey, it's me again (who else? hehe), I thought I'd just fill you in on a few things... Well, I was right about Alex and Abra, now I just have to put my master plan into action, hehe... James is finally sleeping now, I'm glad to know at least SOMEone in this Team has confidence in me, and soon he and Jessie will be together again if all goes right. (Sounds like a fairy tale, don't it?) Of course, no one ever loves the little BLUE GUY, but I'm ALRIGHT! IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME!! Not to say I sit here alone at night wondering if I truly am ALONE IN THIS PITIFUL PLANET with NO ONE TO LOVE ME!!!" (Teem continues to write faster with an angry look on his face.) Delet: (Looks at Teem with an odd look on her face.) Del let delet, let. ::blinkblink:: {I love you, Teem.} Teem: (Looks up from his writing.) Ehhh... O o; (Sweatdrop, his tail twitches nervously. Teem turns back to his journal.) "On second thought, scratch that. I LIKE being alone! Yep! Loneliness for me! Just me and Delet and... uh... nevermind..." - -; The End (?) (The Last Word)----------------------------------------------- Like it? Hehe, I thought it was fun, nothing deep in this one, just comedy. Although I am starting to wonder a little bit about Delet... somethin' weird's goin' on in that adorable little fuzzball's mind, if you ask me!
