The Letter
It was a Tuesday and the sky was filled with big, white clouds. Jim and Gene were busy working on the ship while Aisha, Sazuka and Melfina were shopping at the local mall.
"Damn, clothes are expensive" exclaimed Aisha.
"I agree. Who would want to wear half of these clothes anyway? Most of them are low cut or hardly have any fabric to them" said Melfina.
Sazuka and Aisha giggled at her comment and Sazuka replied, "Melfina, its not that they are defected, that's just the style these days. And I thought I was old fashioned."
"Oh I see, I still think its weird looking" Melfina said.
Sazuka rolled her eyes and they continued walking. Store by store, they managed to walk around the entire mall but were unsuccessful in finding anything they liked. Finally they walked into the food court because Aisha was starving.
"Man, I am famished!" yelled Aisha as she ran to the nearest restaurant.
"There she goes again. Mel you wanna walk home with me?" asked Sazuka.
"I don't want to leave Aisha. She might get kicked out for not paying the bill again" said Melfina.
Sazuka grinned and said, "Well then I will meet you back at the ship later. Don't get into trouble while I'm gone."
Sazuka walked away and eventually vanished into the shadows. Melfina was left alone, but that did not worry her. She already had plans to go to the beach to collect some sea shells. She walked out of the food court and exited the mall. The sun shined upon her face instantly warming her body.
"It's such a beautiful day today" said Melfina as she walked along the board walk.
Finally she reached the beach and she headed for the bathroom to change into her suit. She went inside and changed then returned to the beach.
"I don't understand why I let Aisha talk me into buying this bikini. It is way too small" Melfina said to herself.
As she walked down to the water, many guys admired her beauty and smiled at her. Melfina just ignored them and continued to walk to the shore. Finally she reached a perfect spot to collect her shells and she quickly began, placing them in her bucket.
"These will look so pretty in my room" Melfina exclaimed.
She finished picking up the last of her shells and started to gather her things. As she got up she felt someone grab her arm. She turned around to find it was Gene looking very angry.
"What the hell are you wearing?!?! You're half naked!! Put some clothes on!" Gene screamed.
"Oh Gene, don't get upset. It's just a bathing suit. Speaking of which, I thought you were busy fixing the ship and couldn't come with me today" Melfina replied.
"Well it's a good thing I came here or some guy would be all over you trying to take you home!" bickered Gene.
"Well I came here to find sea shells and that is what I plan to do" replied Melfina as she started to walk away.
"Don't walk away Mel. I'm sorry, you know I'm just looking out for you. Let me take you home. I have to talk to you anyway" Gene said.
Melfina smiled and replied, "Didn't you just tell me you didn't want guys taking me home."
"You know what I mean!" yelled Gene.
They walked home together and looked at the sky. The day seemed perfect and nothing could possibly ruin it. The wind blew softly, the sun shined brightly and the birds sang their beautiful songs. They finally reached the ship and Gillium was there to greet them.
"Why hello there. Gene, there's mail for you inside" Gillium said as he opened the front door.
They walked inside and Gene headed for the kitchen where he found a letter on the table.
"I'm gonna get changed. I'll be out in a few minutes" Melfina said as she walked inside.
Gene sat down and observed the letter. It had been mailed from California.
"Who the hell do I know from California? I was there for about a week and that was about four years ago" Gene asked himself.
He finally took a knife and opened the letter. Inside he found a picture of a small girl, about 4, and a picture of an older, more beautiful woman along with a handwritten note. He carefully read the note and suddenly came to a pause.
"It can't be. Jesus Christ!! Gillium get in here!!!" Gene screamed.
Gillium raced into the kitchen and asked, "Gene what is it, what's the matter!?"
"I have a daughter."
