Midori sighed as she sat down at her computer. In her entire life, she had never had a boyfriend, and, that very day, her crush and her only guy friend had utterly humiliated her in front of the entire seventh grade.
"Oh, what a cruel, cruel fate!" she exclaimed to herself as she pressed the "play" button on RealPlayer.
As "Saigo no Yakusoku" from Marmalade Boy came, blasting through her speakers, she was glad that she had the house to herself. Sad songs are good for one's soul, ne? she muttered to herself inwardly.
Absentmindedly, she signed onto AOL. She went to Fanfiction.Net, logged in, and uploaded her newest Outlaw Star fanfic. Thank Suzaku it's Friday.
As it was the only thing that could cheer her up even a little bit at the moment, she read the reviews for the previous chapters.
"Jim..." she sighed, as she slumped down in her chair. "How come you can't be real? You're much nicer than REAL boys."
"Who say's I'm not real?" a voice in her head demanded jokingly.
"The stress must be getting to me..." Midori muttered to herself. "I'm hearing things."
Automatically as the song ended, she switched over to "Rain." She had no idea why, but she adored Marmalade Boy songs. "I swear, he's saying 'Bishonen in the rain' when he sings. I've got to find the lyrics to this," she nonchalantly said to herself, and anyone else who was listening, which only included her overweight cat, at least, to her knowledge.
"Midori-chan, aren't you tired at all?" another voice in her head asked.
"Stop talking to me. I'm not listening. I know you're just a figment of my overactive imagination and/or a product of humiliation-induced stress, or possibly a side effect my allergy medicine!"
"You need to take a leap of faith every once in a while!"
At that comment, she began to beat her head against the wall, albeit gently. "Shut up. I am NOT hearing the Outlaw Star's crew! I'M NOT!"
"Stop that before you hurt yourself!" a voice she recognized as Aisha's scolded her.
"Then show yourselves or... or... I'll cut myself shaving my legs!"
"Not a very good threat," Gene's voice muttered.
"Then shut up or come out of hiding. NOW!"
"At the moment, we can't. We can't do anything until you actually believe in us," Suzuka's voice came out.
The Jim fangirl took a deep breath. "OK. I believe in you. The crew of the Outlaw Star is REAL!"
"Much better," an all too familiar male voice said, as a large hand clapped on her shoulder from behind.
"Wai! You ARE real!" Midori exclaimed, as she turned around.
She ran, past a hug-expecting Gene, to a very surprised Jim.
"Jim-chan! You're my absolute favorite!" she exclaimed, hugging him tightly.
"Can't... breathe..." he managed to choke out.
"Oh... Gomen!" she apologized, releasing him.
"That's OK," he smiled, standing up straight.
"Say..." Midori began, grinning widely. "Does this mean I can enter your world? Huh? Huh?"
"We're not sure yet," Suzuka explained. "We came here by accident while trying to get to a ramen restaurant."
"Interesting. Can we try? Please?"
"OK, I guess," Jim answered unsurely.
Gene sulked off in a "Magic Anime Corner"TM. HE was supposed to get all the fangirls! Not a runt like Jim! It just wasn't fair! It was... INJUSTICE!
"So, when can we begin?" Midori asked expectantly.
She was eager to get to their world. She could forget about those jerks at school and think about more important things, like winning Jim's heart!
"Now, I guess," Aisha replied brightly.
"Wai!" the fangirl exclaimed. "Say, Melfina, why're you so quiet?"
"Oh, just thinking!"

"Wai! I'm going to the OLS Universe! Jen will be so jealous!" Midori exclaimed happily.
