So...uh. I got you something. Because I figured you might like it, because it's pretty and elegant and fancy. [JUST LIKE YOU, MY LOVE ;;] I'm in the lobby.
[/Rarity]

[And if anyone should be in the lobby today, they'll see a little dragon with a cat box. Inside said cat box is a Glameow. More specifically the Glameow which was stolen from the animal shelter a few nights back.

Not that Spike knows it's stolen of course. He's just pacing around, waiting for Rarity to show up, looking pretty nervous. Clearly, he must be bothered]

I don't know neither your friend nor the lovely kitty you got cooped up in that cage, but of the two, there's only one I'm interested in gettin' to know. [Annnd out come the claws... One claw. To pick locks with. You do not simply give cats away in Mordor... Or something.]

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

[It takes him a minute to realise what is happening]

Hey no! You can't take the cat, it's a present for a pretty lady!

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

[AND NOW ALL THE CLAWS ARE OUT.] Well, I guess one outta two pretty ladies in this joint is gonna have to be disappointed, 'cause this is one damsel that ain't goin' to no tower if Meowth's got somethin' to say about it.

[Because he only just met this Glameow, but he loves her. Yep.]

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

[Spike is giving him the look he reserves for idiots and Pinkie Pie]

She's not going in a tower, you moron, she's going to stay with Rarity. None of the ponies live in any of the towers.

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

It's a metaphor, you scaly little twerp! And what's a pony gonna do with a Pokemon anyway? They ain't even got hands to hold a Poke Ball.

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

...What are you even... the cat's not gonna live in a ball. Why would Rarity keep her cat in a ball?

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

That's what trainers do with Pokemon, numskull. Do I gotta explain everything to you?

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

But she's not going to be training, she's just a pet.

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

[...Damn you and your logic.]

Hmph. Even still, a dame like that oughta be with her own kind and I'm just the cat-like Pokemon for the job. So stand aside, pipsqueak. [CLAWS, SPIKE. CLAAAAAWS. OOOOH. SCARY.]

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

No way, find another cat. This one's for Rarity. [But he'll back away a little at those claws]

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

[Meowth so loves it when he's intimidating.]

Obviously you don't know who you're dealin' it. [Claaaaws] I tried to play it straight, but old thieves don't ever die. They just steal away, which is what I'll be doin' with the lady.

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

But you can't take her! I need her to make my lady love happy!

[Spike's using his best for of attack. THE SADDEST FACE EVER]

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

[IT'S... super effective. There's this really awkward moment where Meowth freezes and then slowly drops his paws.

...Dammit. He's a sucker for a love story.]

...Huh? So givin' her this Pokemon'll really make her happy? I guess I can't blame her if she's got good taste- she is a doll. [HNN. SO CONFLICTED.

And now he's gonna talk to himself. Because Spike totally can't hear him if he turns his back on him and mutters.] Who am I to interfere with true love just for my own sake? What kinda Meowth am I? ...Well, I am kind of a rat, but... Lookit him. He's so young and in love, just like me, once upon a time. [Sniffle. Sob... And then he turns on his heels, as if that didn't just... Happen. Pokemon logic is weird.]

Okay, kid, you've convinced me. As much as it goes against the Team Rocket code, it goes against my personal Meowth code to stand in the way of true love.

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

[Spike just watches him curiously as he goes off on his own little...whatever the heck that was. He's even wondering vaguely if he's started to attract weirdoes]

Oh...you're talking to me again? [INSTANTLY BRIGHTENS] Seriously? Thanks, Bro. I owe you one. And there are more of these cats in the animal shelter, y'know. If you really want to free them and stuff.

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Spike, Meowth could just hug you... He'll settle for throwing an arm around him dramatically.] I think with that kinda information, we come up about square. So where is this place?

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

Square? [Hey, at least there are no more claws. Spike is glad for that] And uh, I can draw you a map if you like. It's in the town.

[about3seconds.livejournal.com]

[LIFE IS FINALLY TURNING AROUND. EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS.] Gee thanks. You're a real pal. I'll be sure to remember you when... [...Well, he can't say 'when I turn over all those rare and unusual Pokemon and probably you, you weird dragon-type thing, over to the Boss- that'd be bad] Uh... When I give one of them Pokemon a good place to stay.

[huffythedragon.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? Well...thanks. I think? [What a day THAT would be]
