You and James have been partners in Team Rocket for years-- you two have been through thick and thin together, whether it be stealing Pokemon, or getting blasted off. But the point is, you two were partners in crime and best friends for eternity. Until today.

You were called into the boss' office, while you and James were heading out on a mission. You said you would be quick, and in response, he let out a dramatic groan, telling you to hurry. As soon as you left, he stared at the shut doors you left through.

'No harm in eavesdropping, haha.' He thought to himself, snickering. He put an ear to the door, a sly, though goofy smile on his face. But what he heard made his smile drop like a fly.

You were being removed from the team?

Upon listening more, he confirmed it-- the boss said you're being fired. How- why..? These questions flowed through his mind, clogging his thoughts with negative emotions. He could feel tears well up in his eyes, stinging his eyelids. He huffed, trying to act like he didn't care. But of course he did.

His thought process was cut short as the door he had his ear against swung open, nearly knocking him over as he staggered backwards. He then saw you, and the memory of what he heard returning. He could feel the tears run down his face, leaving wet marks on his cheeks as he just... stared at you. He couldn't bear it.
