Looks like we're blasting off again! I've been inspired the high school stories by angelcutepie I thought I'd write one too! Pearlshipping is the name and that's the story's game. Sorry if that's not your cup of tea, but Pearlshipping rules.
Ok, this story is of two people, guy and girl, who are hired by others to break up relationships. They're the best in the business (is that even a business?) but this time they're called upon to bring people together. Have they met their match, considering that these two people hate each other?
Another One Bites the Dust
"How could you do this to me? Why would you do it? You said you loved me!"
The devastated voice of a broken hearted girl echoed throughout the cafeteria. Students everywhere were watching the spectacle unfold as two teenagers were locked in an emotional standoff. From a shadow, two other teenagers watched with satisfaction as another relationship crashed and burned. All because of them.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" came the angry reply. "You can't talk to me like that, after you spent the night studying at that jerk's house!"
"I can talk to you however I want, I'm not the one who slept with that slut at the after exam party! We're supposed to trust and respect each other!"
"Trust is meant to be mutual! You can't go around throwing your cat at anyone!"
The answer was a shriek that clawed at the audience's eardrums. The girl had thrown herself at the boy and began lashing out at him. He took the blows solidly before pushing the girl off him. The girl was crying with rage and kicked him straight in between the legs. He buckled and went down, yelling with pain. The girl took advantage of the opportunity to latch herself onto the collapsed boy and pummelling him. There was a shout as 3 teachers came running into the fray, 2 of them restraining the girl and the other pulling the guy up onto his feet.
The two teenagers in the shadows grinned at one another, to which mystery girl shouted out, "Jasmine's been cheating on Flint with his best friend Volkner!"
The shadowy boy then barked out, "Turns out Bugsy been a busy boy, getting Whitney, Janine and Roxanne pregnant!"
There was silence that was broken by a roar of fury. The hidden couple watched as Flint launched himself at Volkner and Jasmine began grappling with Volkner's girlfriend (well, ex now). Bugsy was in worse shape, being set upon by Morty, Falkner and Brawly is probably not going to end well.
Before anyone knew it, the whole cafeteria was in a full scale riot. Teachers were running everywhere trying to stop the chaos, but only getting hit. Still unnoticed, the trouble making teens ran towards the principal's office, where they burst in. The principal was on the phone, but whirled as he saw the kids enter.
As he opened his mouth to speak, the girl leapt forward and shoved the principal into his chair. The boy tossed her some duct tape he found in one of the drawers. With the principal successfully tide up, the boy grabbed the PA, switched it on and yelled into it, "Attention, student faculty! Prepare for trouble!"
Snatching the microphone away, the girl added, "And make it double!"
"To infect relationships with devastation!"
"To ruin all lovers within our nation!"
"To denounce the goodness of truth and love!"
"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"
"Jasper!"
"Alice!"
"Team Spite crushes all hearts within our wake!"
"Surrender now or prepare to break, break, break, break and break!"
There was a stunned quiet throughout the entire school. Everyone froze as they listened to what the 'Team Spite' had to say.
"Just letting everyone know that the principal is momentarily detained. Oh, and we set everyone up, smashing their relationships just like we said."
"So, if you twerps are still angry, go nuts. We couldn't care less!"
Jasper and Alice grinned at one another and strolled out the door, leaving the principal bound and gagged. The screams started again and more fighting ensued. As they walked out the school's front door, they jumped as desk flew out the window, shattering the glass. Police cars were speeding out of nowhere and officers were dashing to quell the turmoil.
The two instigators glided away down the road, watching with concern as police reinforcements were called. Jasper turned to Alice and muttered, "I didn't expect there to be a full scale riot…"
Alice looked at him nervously. "No, me neither. Maybe a little fighting, but this? Really?"
"We're not that bad, are we?"
The two teens looked worriedly at each other. There was a loud explosion and they both jumped. Smoke was rising out of the windows; someone had broken into the science labs.
Alice gave a cry and made to move towards the building. Jasper grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks. She looked at him confused. He shook his head and said, "No Alice. There's nothing we can do. We just have to leave."
"What? We can't just leave! What if someone gets hurt?"
"Alice! If we get caught here, we'll get arrested! Let's go home, we can talk about it then!"
And with that, the kids ran. They ran all the way back to the building that was their apartment and barricaded themselves inside. An unspoken unanimous decision was made and they both went to shower. (Separately, this isn't an erotica! )
Sometime later, Jasper and Alice sat holding each other on the couch, watching the news describing the incident in detail. When the reporter said no one had been hurt, they breathed a sigh of relief. The school wasn't damaged either, so that was a bonus.
There was a knock at the door and Jasper answered it, greeted by the girl Ursula. Folding his arms and leaning against the doorway, he asked, "Can I help you?"
Ursula smiled and handed him an envelope. "That's your payment. Thanks for breaking that couple up, now I can get a chance. Say, how did you find out that stuff?"
Jasper smirked. "Trade secrets, my dear. Thanks for the money. You have a pleasant evening."
And he closed the door in her surprised face. Striding back to the couch, Jasper tossed the envelope to Alice, who silently checked it. Jasper went into the kitchen and began to make tea for the both of them. As he was pouring the hot water, he heard Alice shriek. Jumping, he splashed hot water all over himself. Ignoring the pain, Jasper ran back to the living room where Alice was still watching the news. "Alice, honey, what's wrong?"
She said nothing just wordlessly pointed. There on the TV, for the whole of the city to see, was them. They had been spotted. Throwing himself into action mode, Jasper turned to Alice. "Go and pack our things. We have to leave before the police come knocking," he ordered.
She nodded, focused now. Alice went to the bedroom and pulled out two suitcases, which she rapidly began to fill with clothes and essentials. Jasper was in the process of withdrawing all their money into a special account saved for this purpose. He then began booking tickets to faraway Pallet Town, in the Kanto region.
Having finished packing, Alice was now on the phone to her brother who owned many houses in many of the regions. Luckily, he had a house in Pallet Town, not far from the famed Professor Oak's Lab. Thanking him, Alice hung up and retrieved the passports and ID from the safe.
With everything packed and ready to go, the two teens locked the door behind them. Hailing a taxi, they directed him to the airport. It was quite early, so there were still many people coming and going. Jasper checked them in, and quite soon they were on a plane to Kanto.
The flight was long and arduous. Wailing babies and whining kids frequently interrupted their attempts at sleep. When they reached Saffron City Airport, it was quite late into the night. After reclaiming their baggage and enduring the scary moment through customs, they ran to the Magnet Train station, where the last train of the night was leaving. The train ride was a blur; they almost missed Viridian City station. From there it was into another taxi to Pallet Town. When giving the driver the address, he squawked in amazement. Apparently, the house they were staying in was in the richest part of town.
When the taxi pulled up in front of their new house, Jasper and Alice were both shocked. They had stayed at Alice's brother's houses before, but this was quite grand. Thanking the driver and leaving an extra-large tip in return for keeping his mouth shut, the couple tried to get inside. Realising stupidly that they didn't have a key, Jasper tried to pry the door open but it wouldn't budge.
Alice once again dialled her brother's phone. The person on the other line was not impressed but told them that his butler was in there and would open the doors for them. And then he hung up. Jasper and Alice just stared at each other. Who the hell has a butler?
Said butler opened the door very irritably, but quickly ushered them to a guest room, before bidding them goodnight. Not bothering to unpack, Alice and Jasper collapsed on the bed in utter exhaustion. It was a while before Alice said, "Another one bites the dust."
"You could say that," was the retort.
"Despite the whole riot thing, that break up went well."
"Yeah, but I couldn't help feel guilty."
"Likewise. Perhaps we need a new angle."
"What do you mean?"
"Perhaps we should try something nice for a change…"
"Bring people together instead of breaking them, you mean?"
"Maybe. We've been quite unscrupulous recently."
"So instead of causing tribulation, we help those couples who need it."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Where do you think we should start?"
"We can try that Pallet Town High School that we passed on the way here. We could check it out; see what couples we can bring together."
"Alright, I'll enrol us tomorrow. If we're lucky we can start on Monday."
"So today's Thursday, which gives us time to look around town and see how people act on the weekends."
"Oh, and don't forget we need to come up with a new look."
"New look?"
"Alice, sweetheart, we only get one opportunity to make a first impression, so we should make it one they remember."
Alice laughed and pressed her lips on his cheek. "My boyfriend, ever the show off."
"But you love me anyway."
And in each other's arms they fell asleep.
Well, what did you think? I know they're not the most original names, (BTW I don't own Twilight) but I quite like them. I sort of ripped of Team Rocket with their motto; I thought it would be funny to put it in somewhere. Team Spite was the best name I could think of, I mean, its spiteful to break other couples up right? But that's just their jobs; they don't really enjoy it clearly. Have a great night! Hopefully I'll see you all soon!
