Duo Maxwell watched her body as she twisted and rocked along the stage. Her eyes burned with a flaming sensation as she began to blurt out her most famous song. Yet, he stuck to his mask. The one he was trained to use, his poker face, the street rat.

I still believe
In fairies and the trial of the moon
And the moonlight's failing
And I love with the heart
Of the pail moon sailing gone around in one part

Her body swayed with the wind and the flame in her eyes was suddenly gone, bubbles began to emit from the mist from backstage. Within an instant her once red orange eyes burned blue, but the music stayed the same.

On the fairy island
In the middle of the lake
Lies a lonely women damned until the next day
Still she waits for the man that promised a ring
And her heart left foot steps on the shore

The street rat began to smile, swaying out of character for the time record of twenty seconds. She lifted her hand before her face and stayed in poise for five seconds. With the blink of the studio lights, her outfit changed, revealing lilac and green flames. He whispered, then music shifted this time, into a stained lullaby.

Forever gone the hero's wake
A Gundam lies within the stake
The Lord of Darkness still at awe
Deems a precious, loving smile

He cussed this time, she meant it for him. The end was for him, he looked up at her painted eyes as she smiled to the crowds beneath her. Suddenly, the sounds of the erupting cheers came back to him. The street rat, the gone, the childhood memory looked back upstage, where she no longer stood. Duo Maxwell's poker face was slapped to the side as faint realization hit him. She was gone, again.

As Duo climbed the stairs to the apartment he looked up the to the midnight sky. Almost wishing for his almost normal childhood. He only swallowed it and walked to his door, knocking before entering. Then, he stopped, a lonely silence drifting through the air. There was no reason to knock, because no one would answer. Frustration blew the breeze and he opened the door.

As he walked in, her voice filled the empty living room from above the fireplace. He played her CD day and night, never letting it stop. That song was even his ringtone. His ringtone to a phone that no one called. Yet, he kept it, because he promised her that someday he'd pick up.

Lilac and green forests.

That street rat could still remember her favorite color. He could even remember her last name, the one that the whole world didn't know. Duo knew the one that she rejected years ago. Maxwell.

Summon you back home.

But he left and stumbled into the arms of four other teenage boys to save the world. And he did, just as everyone had hoped. Then he went back home, like it would be normal. Like he hoped it would be.

Rejection is your middle name.

He sipped his rum now. Straining himself to not throw it at the CD player. And just like any other desert princess, she was gone. He took one more sip, then threw it. At the fireplace.

Forever stood your statue.

"But only my statue." He whispered with a breath rimmed with the smell of rum.

But only your statue.

"My heart was bound eternally." The street rat's musky scent was no longer his own as his eyes drifted.

Your heart was bound eternally.

"To stone." He was in the courtyard now, laughing, standing above all the bodies, every single one marked by her face. Yet he kept laughing, for their namesake.

To stone.

Then violins rose against the sleepy rhythm of flutes and the song ended. As the stars wept, the street rat fell asleep, to await another day. Hoping that it would come with another round of sinful lullabies.
