*A Wish Come True?*

Chapter One

It's been a few days since I've made that wish. And still he ignores me; it's like I never even made that wish. Maybe the wish is too outrageous to come true. Like something that is too good to be true.

"Melfina," Aisha said, waving her hand in front of my face. "Earth to Melfina."

I snapped out of my trance and blinked blankly at her. "Sorry, Aisha." I said. "I guess I was spacing out."

"Are you ready to go?" She asked.

"Go where?" I said.

"A surprise!" She exclaimed and grabbed my hand.

I followed her, aimlessly off the ship. When we got off Suzuka was standing at the end of the Terminal waiting for us.

"Finally! I thought you guys must have backed out." Suzuka sighed, holding her wooden sword in her left hand.

"Where are we going?" I asked again, still confused.

"Girls night out." Aisha answered.

Honestly, I didn't want to go. I'd rather stay in the Outlaw Star and dwell on how much of a coward I am. But, then I think it would be good for me to get out, and try to make the best of things.

~*~*~*~

We ended up at a dance club. I sat alone at the table, while Aisha danced and Suzuka sat at the bar. I watched in amazement as Aisha moved to the rhythm of the music. She was so carefree and outgoing, I wish I were like her. Then I wouldn't be so shy, and I would be able to tell Gene that I loved him.

"Come on Melfina!" Aisha shouted, dancing in the crowd of people. "Come out here and dance! It's fun!"

I shook my head. "No, I'm fine. I'm having fun sitting here."

Aisha shrugged her shoulders and continued to dance. I wanted to go out there and dance, but my heart felt too sick to move. I watched as Suzuka drank her sake. She could drink it for hours, and still she wouldn't get drunk or sick. She says it's because she is very strong. I believe her, because she is. And that made her beauty even more memorizing. If only I could be beautiful too…

My heart ached, as if someone was squeezing it with their hands. And my stomach felt as if it was mixing cement. It got to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stood up and walked up to Suzuka. She turned to me and stared at me with a worried look.

"What's wrong Melfina?" She asked, and took a sip of her drink.

"I have to go back," I answered. "To the Outlaw Star."

"Alright," She said. "But, take this, it will make your sorrow disappear." She said and handed me a bottle of sake.

"Thanks." I grabbed the bottle. "Bye."

I walked away, with my sorrow following behind me. My heart pounded against my chest as if it wanted to brake free from my body, and my stomach tumbled rapidly.

Soon I was on the sidewalk, walking aimlessly in the dark, cold night. My heart sunk in my chest and my eyes felt heavy with tears. Eventually they trailed down my face. Why do I have to be such a coward? I shouldn't be scared to tell him, because what's the worse he can say? Except for saying no, there is nothing else. But, then him saying no would hurt me in a million ways never thought possible. But, I should take that risk, and go for it.

I got to the terminal and started to walk up the ramp to get on the ship. I boarded it and went into the control room. I sat down on Gene's chair. The cushioning smelled like him. I opened the bottle of sake that I got from Suzuka. I took a sip of it. It slowly took away my broken heart and uplifted my spirits.

I looked around the ship, and stopped when I came to my little portal. Am I just the Outlaw Star's Navigator? Just like how I'm the puppet for the Galactic Leyline? Is that what Gene thinks? I wonder… Sometimes I have dreams about being a real human. He tells me he loves me, and we live happily ever after… If only that was true…

I drank away my sorrow, and soon I felt this warm feeling in my heart. Besides, the dizziness, I actually felt better. I stared out the window. Maybe this wasn't so bad. Hey, if I ever get this sad again I will always have my sake… But, do I always want to go after it? No, not really. If I did I would be drunk all the time.

I finished the bottle and stood up. I felt lightheaded and my stomach felt like it was doing somersaults. My vision started to get blurry and I lost my balance, and eventually I fell to the floor. All of a sudden I burst out laughing. After a while tears rolled down my face as I laughed. I felt sorry for myself. Here I was on the floor laughing and crying at the same time, all because I won't get enough courage to tell him that I love him.

"Melfina?" A voice said.

I gasped, and quickly tried to wipe away my tears. I turned around and my eyes widened. "Gene?"

"Are you ok?" He asked. "I thought I heard someone crying."

"I'm wonderful!" I exclaimed, sarcastically.

I tried to stand up, but when I did I lost my balance. But before I hit the floor, Gene caught me.

"Thank you." I said. "I guess I'm just a little bit tipsy."

"It appears so." He answered, and then noticed the newly opened bottle on the chair. "Melfina, were you drinking?"

"Yep." I replied.

My vision got fuzzy, and my body felt lighter with each breath I took. I tried to look through the dim haze to see his eyes, but I couldn't. Then when things couldn't get any worse, they did. I fell back in to his arms, and blacked out.

To Be Continued...

Like it, hate it? Should I continue? Tell me!
