Author's Note: This is my first fic, so (constructive) criticism is encouraged and appreciated. This just popped into my head and I had to write it down. I think it gives a new unique perspective on things. Can you figure out who the narrator is?
Sometimes it feels as though my only purpose has been to love her, to hold her close, to get to know her mind. She rejects me whenever she sees me, but I've been trying not to get discouraged. Often I just admire her from a distance, since I can't get too close to her when her friends are around. They're so mean to me…
My friends stand by me though. As soon as I told them I must have her, they all gave up on getting her for themselves, and they devoted their time to helping me make my dream become a reality.
But now that I think on it, my friends aren't as loyal to me as hers are to her. If my cronies get into trouble, they sometimes let her friends be mean to me, just to save their own hides…
Her friends on the other hand always put her before themselves, in their own crazy way at least. It seems as though their ultimate goal is to keep me as far away from her as possible (and unfortunately they never fail).
I wonder if she likes that cocky bastard Ulrich... It's obvious he's in love with Yumi anyway, so why won't she give me a chance?! Or maybe she likes that flamboyant, good-for-nothing Odd, although I don't see what an amazing girl like her would see in a moron like him.
Oh, at last, my friends have finally gotten her friends away from her! Now is the time for me to begin my advance.
She's all alone but she's running away from me now. I have to follow her! I must explain how I feel! Even if she feels scared right now, once she learns my true intentions, she'll definitely love me…
I finally catch up to her and pull her into my arms. I start to explain everything to her – who I am, how I feel about her, how I first fell in love with her, everything. I also want to know her memories; I want to know what she's gone through, how she feels, who she loves, everything. I just love her so much…
When we'd first finished exchanging all of our data, I thought things would be better between us. I guess I don't know if that will ever happened. As soon as I let her go, she fell to the floor and won't open her eyes…
Now I don't know what to do. I guess I'll just glide back to the lonely recesses of Sector 5, knowing that these tentacles never knew the love of Aelita…
Author's Note: This was a gimmick that unfortunately didn't work out as well as I would have liked. The point was that the Scyphozoa was the narrator; I wanted to share a new perspective on the workings of the Scyphozoa's mind, its motivations, etc.
