This is for a really good friend of mine, Martel, for letting me do so much stuff to embarrass him with little complaint. Few people are like that, while still being friends, and being so kind.

So, enjoy, and thank you Martel.

Martel sat on a hill, watching the stars and the moon. He closed his eyes, allowing the wind blow into his face gently.

"Hey, Martel?" Kage walked up, and tossed herself beside Martel. "Have you ever felt.lonely? As if no one cared?"

"Yes, why?" The spiky haired boy tore his eyes away from the night sky, and glanced at Kage curiously.

"Cuz. Cuz I'm always feeling like that, except when I'm with you. Did you know that?" Kage blushed slightly, and the redness made her usually pale face lit up, and alive.

". Well, what else are friends for?" Martel grinned at her.

"Yeah, I know, but Martel; even with Geo, and SB, and all the others, I feel all alone, and that no one actually understands me, except for you." Kage also looked up at the sky, and silently marveled in the beauty of it.

"How can a guy that keeps getting bugged by someone understand them, I wonder?" Martel replied, and then looked up at the sky. "Hey, a shooting star! Make a wish, Kage."

Kage looked up, and closed her eyes in concentration. In her mind, she thought 'I wish that this feeling will never end.' Martel beside her, did the same, but his wish went unknown.

"So, what did you wish for?" Martel asked curiously, and grinned at Kage, who giggled.

"You aren't supposed to TELL anyone else, otherwise it won't come true!" She ruffled his spikes fondly, grinning.

"Hey, hey! Ease up on the ruffling of the hair! I'm TRYING to make sure I look nice and tidy, ya know." Martel ducked from under her hand, and went back to staring out at the stars. Kage leaned on him, also looking up at the sky.

"Thank you, Martel." She whispered, but Martel didn't seem to hear. The black reploid did her best not to sigh, and looked past Martel and into the sky, missing his small smile.

What did you all think? I think it's pretty good. ^_^ And I really do thank you, Martel, for being there, and being my friend, even though I whack you over the head with frying pans, and such. ^_^; I'm pretty mean to my friends. heeeee.

Anyways, please Review. Reviews are nice. Flames get killed, cuz that would mean you don't like Martel; how in the world can you not like the vain idiot?
