A/N This is from a looooooong time ago. Origanlly it was supposed to be something me and my sister did together since then....well I duuno. Not sure if it'll go anywhere. Let me know what you think. And please be honest

Chapter One: Love Remains

I'll remember you, while you remember me;
I'll remember everything you wanted to be.
So, please be a brave lad,
My heart sails with thee.
And I'll remember you, while you remember me.
-From "Caitlin's Song"

There comes a time in the life of every child when they must move on, leave the safety of family behind and learn to navigate the world alone, without that hand of guidance there for them. I knew that day was coming, deep down I knew, everyday you grew older was another day closer to that one day when you would go. As you mentor and you father, I saw the changes coming long before you told us. I saw the distance in your eyes, the hole in your soul, the place left empty where love should have filled, and I knew you would go.
I just never thought it would be this soon, or that you would stay away for so long.
Time moves us all forward here, the seasons change, day becomes night and hearts grow weary of hope, our family isn't doing so well these days, when you where here, you were the reason we all stayed, we had a student to teach, a little brother to protect and a friend to cause trouble with. You were all of these things and many more, and without you it is like our hearts have been torn from us, and we are told to continue living.
Nova began a Fighting Arts School by the Quay, on the opposite side of the City, it wasn't intentional, apparently some of the younger students asked her to help them deal with some bullies at their school, and it just blossomed from there. They are young and ask many questions, but she deals with them with a patience I have not seen before.
Gibson was invited to give lectures at the University, though his classes are only two nights a week, he stays there most of the time now, glad to have someone that listens to him again, even if it is a room full of students that care about their teacher, but only because he is their teacher, and nothing more. Still he gives it his all.
Sprx is gone, not forever, he is just away, he signed up with a Salvage crew, they travel to planets around Shuggazoom and recover discarded metal, metal they bring back to Shuggazoom and melt down into something better. He has brought home more metal of Otto.
Of which Otto needs plenty, your little green brother has got it in him to update, remodel and redecorate the Robot, from side to side and head to toe, there is nary a hall that is not missing panels with wires all exposed. Otto himself has become like a ghost, drifting from point to point, working but his heart is no longer in it, he just tears out the old, working the Robot down to bits, trying to erase the memories of you.
And me? I am still here, in this dusty place, full of dusty memories each day is the same, filled with meandering through the gardens the people planted outside, or spending it meditating in the sand garden. I am losing myself, falling deeper and deeper into my mind, seeking the comfort and solace that only knowing your safety and presence will bring.
You left us five years ago now Chiro, taking the ships we built for you, telling us that there was a past out there you needed to find, we stood beside you, and we still do, but now we have come to question.....when will you come back?
