After pulling up to shelter James lived in, Pauline parked her car close to the building, and stepped out, grabbing Crimson and Scarlet's leashes before the two could dart off, the Growlithes practically vibrating with energy.
"Hold on, hold on! I know you're excited, girls, but you have to wait for Mommy to gather her things!" Pauline laughed, doing her best to quickly everything she needed before the two Pokemon could drag her off. After grabbing her bag and the rest of her things, Pauline locked the car. She then heard a familiar voice yell out, and looked up.
"James, darling!" Pauline called out, waving excitedly at her friend. Oh, they were in that cute tiger onsie, how adorable! It'd been a while since she had seen them in it. At her feet, Crimson and Scarlet started barking loudly upon seeing James, who could understand them.
"James, James! Hi!" Crimson barked excitedly, whining and pacing as Scarlet started doing a little prance beside her, pulling Pauline towards the building.

James came down to greet them and help calm her jumping growlithes. Cookie follows behind him down the stairs. James lives up on the second separate floor above they're Pokemon and animal shelter/clinic. James smiles in glee and hugs Pauline in joy so glad to see a friendly face to face after what feels like forever.
“Hey beautiful! I'm so glad you can make it! And hey Crimson, Scarlet. How are my favorite growlithes doing?” James smiles as they let go hugging the mayor and crouching down to hug her Pokemon.
Cookie smiles in joy and bounces up and down seeing her friends. In joy it's been two weeks sense she last saw them it was always nice and fun to see them.
“Me and James got all my toys out! Ooh! I smell... COOKIES!” Cookie twirls in joy. She can smell the box of cookies in Pauline’s bag and starts jumping in joy. James chuckles at this fact knowing Cookie and how she got her name, she will target that box.

"Oh, I'm glad you offered for me to come over! It's been so long since we hanged out!" Pauline replied, returning the hug, and watched as James hugged her Pokemon.
Crimson and Scarlet whined happily and licked James face when they hugged them. "James, we missed you! Where were you, did you have fun?" Scarlet asked as Crismon, upon spotting Cookie, squirmed out of the hug to head over to the Eevee.
"Cookie! Missed you so much!" Crimson barked, pouncing upon the Eevee and greeting her with licks, panting happily. The Growlithes had missed seeing their Eevee friend, and it was really nice to see her again.
"We brought toys, too!" Scarlet said as Pauline chuckled at Cookie's twirl. "Let me guess, she smelled the cookies?" Paulined asked James, amused.

“Oooh yeah.” James tells Pauline and smiles to her. They then look over to back her growlithes seeing they wanted to know where James went.
“Ah you see lovelies my cousin Jessie took me on a two-week cruise vacation.” James starts telling the two fire Pokemon of their vacation. And gets up and starts head towards the stairs of they're apartment.
“It was a great trip, but I wish my one of favorite outfits didn't get ruined and I could have brought my precious Cookie.” James scoops Cookie up into their arms and smiles. And she giggles and smiles.
“James brought animal/pokemon biscuits! From they're trip! They taste amazing and they're shape like boats!” Cookie calls to they're Pokemon friends as she are snuggling comfortably in James’s arms.

"A cruise? Sounds like fun!" Crimson said, her tail wagging as she trotted alongside Pauline, who followed her friend up the stairs.
"And biscuits? James is the best! They always bring back yummy stuff!" Scarlet said, going around the two human in circles as they walked up to James' apartment.
"Well, you're home, and once you're all settled in again, we can go do some shopping!" Pauline suggested. They could even invite Tamamo, it'd been a while since the three of them had hung out together, so it would be a nice little get-together.

“That sounds like a brilliant idea, darling! Absolutely brilliant.” James smiles at the idea of them going shopping and inviting some of they're other friends to join them. James opens the door to they're apartment and let's her and her pokemon in. Cookie jumps from James’ arms and jumps in joy with having fun with her friends.
“Oh let's go play with my toys! Come on!” Cookie smiles in joy running over to get one of her toys to play with. James smiles and glad to see Cookie was happy. James then starts to think of giving Pauline the biscuits for give to give the Scarlet and Crimson later.
James goes over to they're totebag on the countertop and pulls out two biscuits, “Oh here you can give these to Crimson and Scarlett later, if I know Cookie she’ll will probably try and steal them.” James offering them the Pauline.

The two Growlithes followed after Cookie, barking happily. Pauline laughs as she sets down her things where they wouldn't be run over by the pets.
"I call dibs on the ice cream!" Crimson said, tail wagging as she dove headfirst into Cookie's toys, and popping out with a cartoon ice-cream shaped toy in her mouth, squeaking away.
"You always get the ice cream!" Scarlet pouted, before eventually ignoring her sister in favor of looking at the rest of the toys. "Ooh, a duck!"
Pauline smiled, taking the biscuits. "Thank you, sweetie. I'm sure the girls will love them." She put away the biscuits in the treat container she always carried around when taking the girls out, and hid it away in her tote bag.

Cookie dove headfirst into her toy pile and pulls out her favorite squeaky plushy chocolate chip cookie and smiles proudly, "This one is mine!" Cookie states to her friends and smiles as she wraps her paws around it in joy.
"Now girls, remember to share and take turns with the toys, meaning Crimson, you can't hog the Ice Cream the whole night, got it." James playing a playful serious tone with the pokemon so they understand that they have to take turns sharing and so they all can have fun. Then grabs the unopened bottle of chardonnay, a bottle opener, and two wine glasses for them. An starts to head over to their couch with the stuff.
"So the pizza will arrive shortly. Till then we can drink, catch up. Oh! and we can decide what movie to watch." James starts telling Pauline of their idea for the evening and places the bottle and glasses on the coffee table near the selection of movies they have laid out on it. James was really glad to have a relaxing night in with their pokemon and one of their closest friends. James starts to open the bottle with the bottle opener.
"I'm thinking between these 4 movies, but if none of those interest you take a look on my movie shelf to select something else." James motions with a head nod towards the 4 movies, Mean Girls, Die hard, 13 going on 30 and Deadpool laid out on the coffee table.

"Okay!" Crimson said through the toy in her mouth, which squeaked at every twitch of her jaw. Scarlet just wrestled with the duck toy she had spotted, playfully growling as she rolled around with it, accidentally bumping into Cookie.
"Oops, sorry Cookie!" Scarlet apologized. Pauline just laughed at the three Pokémon as she sat down on the couch, patiently waiting for James to finish opening the bottle and pouring their drinks.
"Oh, lovely! Now, let's see..." Pauline muttered, leaning forward to look at the movies and taking a moment. Humming, she eventually picked up Deadpool. "I'm in a mood for some Deadpool. It's been a while since I watched it."

James pours both of them a good drink and smiles seeing Pauline wanted to watch Deadpool. “Oooh, good choice.” James smiles in joy. They finish pouring the drinks and sets Pauline's glass near her. James picks up the DVD of Deadpool and starts to put it in the DVD player and smiles. "Wow, I probably haven't watched this in a year now. It'll be good to watch it again." James was excited as they put the movie in and goes back to sit next to Pauline on the couch and takes a sip of their drink.
"So Pauline, what have I missed? I got to know so I'm not missing out on the loop on anything." James asked curiously wanting to be caught up on everything. Even if it wasn't really important, James loves Lunaville and they knew this place was never boring. There is always something, rather it's with the school or one of the many store owners in town.
Cookie was happily chewing on her cookie plushie when she was accidentally bumped by Scarlet, she has a playful smile and drops her plushie and gently boops her and smiles playfully. "Tag! Your it." She smiles and grabs her toy and moves to run away but stops to see if Scarlet is following after her.

"Thank you, darling." Pauline said, picking up her glass to take a small sip, humming at the taste. Relaxing on the couch and watching a movie with a drink, food and good company always made for a good night.
"Oh, you know how it gets with the new school year. New students, more trouble. I'm fairly certain one of the students has set something on fire." Pauline said, slowly getting a deadpan expression on the last part of the sentence. "And there's Shizuo destroying a mailbox, I think? I haven't had the chance to talk to him about it. And so far, that one morgue-worker from the hospital hasn't started her mischief yet..."
Hu Tao was...fairly infamous around the town for her pranks and mischief. Considering she just graduated only a few years back, there's no real reason for people to forget it, either.
Scarlet barked happily, following after Cookie, eager to play. "Yay, tag, tag! I'm going to get you!"

James cringes at the sight seeing theres already small fires, damaged property and a mischievious morgue-worker. James knew of Shizuo's famous temper, though they knew the Shizuo was a really good guy under normal circumstances, which is when he isnt angry. James knew that animals do actual help with people with angry issues and has suggested to Shizuo of considering getting a pet or fostering. However, he would always reject the idea because from what Shizuo told James, his afraid of accidentally hurting any pet due to his strength. James sighs at that thought.
"Well... I could try and convince Shizuo to get a pet or foster one because there are causes where people like shizuo a pet has been able to help with issues like that." James says hopefully as they really are hoping this time Shizuo will consider the idea, and then thinks back to the fire and thought of one student. "So... You think it was probably Natsu again with fires?" James asked curiously and takes a sip.
Cookie smiles and runs the living room with fun as Scarlet chases after her.

"Oh, James, if you could manage that, I'd buy you a thousand dresses!" Pauline exclaimed, looking pleadingly at her friend. If there was even any small possibility of Shizuo's temper getting under better control with a pet, she'd be more then willing to take the chance.
She knew the bartender had his understandable reasons for not wanting to take care of an animal, but it would be a good way to practice taking caring of another creature and a way to handle his temper better with something that didn't really judge as a human did.
At the mention of Natsu, the mayor heaved a heavy sigh. "If not him, who else? I love Mirajane and her son, truly I do, but how that boy creates trouble is like nothing else." She then took a sip of her drink.
Whilst Cookie and Scarlet played tag, chasing each other back and forth, Crimson took the opportunity to scrounge the toy pile for more things to play with, resulting in a several delayed squeaks as she pondered over what ones to choose.

James chuckles a bit at their friend's statement claiming to get them all the dressed they want if they manage to help Shizuo. James smiles, “Well first thing tomorrow I’ll look through my many animals and see what we have. But...” James purposely pausing for a moment of being dramatic.
“I think I have a fair idea of what pet... Or pets could help him.” James smiles proudly as they're thinking back to a certain pitbull and kitty that are current residents in they're shelter. Thinking that those two would be perfect for Shizuo in a way. And thinking back to Mirajane and Natsu and the school in general.
“Well maybe... I'm hoping for Mirajane and the school’s sake that is wasn't him and maybe a wild fire Pokemon did that....” James tells Pauline trying to reassure her in something and wanting to be hopeful and not see that a minor was causing such destruction with they're powers. But then James then glances at the screen. And a big smile appears on they're face to see one of they're favorite scene from deadpool is on.
It is when Deadpool is trying to find Francis and killing a bunch of people. Mainly the Zamboni kill was funny. That scene just crack them up that they start laughing and then the door knows. Meaning they're pizza was here.
“Oh let me get that, it must be the pizza.” James getting up to answer the door. Carefully avoiding Cookie and Scarlet’s game of tag as to make sure they don't trip or accidentally step on them.
“Slow down little ones, don't want anyone to get hurt here.” James smiles to them and answers the door to receive the pizza.

"Oh, that's wonderful! In the end, it all works out." Pauline smiled. Even if Shizuo ended up returning the animals to the shelter, the mayor knew James would do their utmost best to care for them and find a wonderfully perfect forever home. And for the time the bartender did have them, it could likely help him with his temper, learning to reign it in a little for the animals sake.
"Oh, I hope so too. But then, I'd have to put a warning that some Pokemon is going around causing fires..." Pauline sighed. She'd have to go down to the police station and get more information about the damage to the building in question. Perhaps someone had just left their stove on or something, those things did happen.
Pauline giggled at the montage of kills happening in the movie, mainly influenced by James' laughter. Another reason she had chosen Deadpool, it made the both of them laugh and she felt it was needed for both of them.
"Okay, James, I'll be careful!" Scarlet replied before noticing her sister in the toy pile. "Hey, no fair! Crimson, you're supposed to share!"
