The fear of loss

The battle was over. Galatea was destroyed and the Knight Sabers had prevailed. The four heroines were so surprised and delighted that for a second they completely forgot about their friends. Suddenly they remembered their young friend, Mackey who was still unconscious at Sylia's house after he lost his fight against Galatea.

Without a second thought, the four Knight Sabers rushed back to the Silky Doll shop, praying that their friend is alive and well. As soon as the four girls bursted through the entrance to Nigel's workshop, the four girls ran into the changing room. As quick as a flash, the girls changed out of their hard suits back into their daily clothes.

Together the four girls ran over to Sylia's house. After what seemed forever the four girls finally reached the Silky Doll shop. The girls ran through the entrance door and ran into the lounge room. They noticed that Mackey was nowhere to be seen, nor were any of their other friends.

They knew that the only other place Mackey could be is in his bedroom. The four girls rushed up the stairs leading to the bedrooms. Sylia thrusted open the door to Mackey's room revealing an unconscious boy lying in bed. Kneeling beside the bed was Mr. Henderson, carefully wiping the boy's forehead with a dry towel. Standing on the other side of the bed was Leon and Nigel.

"Mackey!" yelled Nene the second she stepped into the bedroom. All four girls were breathless, but they didn't care.
"Ladies! You're back," exclaimed Mr. Henderson happily.
"Henderson, how's Mackey?" asked Linna.
"I really don't know. He hasn't woken since you girls left," replied Mr. Henderson sadly.

Slowly Nene walked over to Mackey and sat down on the bed, holding Mackey's hand in her own hands.
The other three girls stood around the bed. Sylia next to Nigel and Priss beside Leon.

All four girls could feel their eyes swelling up with tears, but they all tried to hold back their tears. Suddenly Sylia burst into tears, crying into Nigel's shoulder, saying Mackey's name repeatedly, scared that she might have lost her only brother. Nigel tried to comfort Sylia, but to no avail.

"Mackey, Mackey, please don't die," whispered Nene, tears flowing out of her eyes and staining the blanket. Nene hanged her head down and squeezed Mackey's hand slightly.

Linna walked over to Nene and placed her hand on Nene's shoulder. Feeling someone's hand on her shoulder, Nene turned around to see Linna trying her hardest to smile at her. Nene tried to smile back, but her emotions prevented her from doing so.
"Nene, don't cry. Everything will be alright. Mackey will wake up sooner or later," comforted Linna.
In the past, whenever Linna said that everything will be alright, Nene always believed her, but this time she had her doubts.

Suddenly Linna felt a hand on her own shoulder and turned around to see that it was Mr. Henderson. Linna took a step back from her friend and stood beside Mr., Henderson.
"I think that Miss. Nene wants some time alone with Master Mackey," whispered Mr. Henderson. Linna nodded in agreement.

Quietly Linna walked over to Sylia, Nigel, Priss and Leon and told them about Mr. Henderson's idea. They all agreed and quietly followed Mr. Henderson out to the lounge, but Priss stayed back. Priss quietly walked over to Nene.
"Nene, you stay here with Mackey, okay? We'll just be downstairs, so just yell if you need us, okay?" asked Priss.
Nene nodded, not even taking her eyes off Mackey. Priss sighed and walked out.

Quietly and nervously, Nene let go of Mackey's hand and stood up slightly to pull up the blanket to keep Mackey warm. Nene sat back down and stared at Mackey, the boy she had always admired. Tenderly, she brushed a strand of Mackey's hair away form his face. Again, Nene began to cry softly.

She had always had a very close friendship with Mackey and just the thought of losing him is too hard to bear. Once again, Nene held Mackey's hand in her own shaky ones, squeezing his hand tightly scared that if she let go she would lose Mackey.

Nene remembered the times she had shared with Mackey. Even though it was such a long time ago, Nene still remembers very vividly when she first met Mackey. It happened when Mackey accidentally walked into the changing room when she was changing. She remembers screaming and chasing after Mackey. She smiled slightly remembering how Mackey was running around the changing room and apologising.

Then there was that time when Sylia, Priss, Linna and herself had destroyed the gigantic boomer and when they were celebrating she sat next to Mackey and she was very shy when Mackey offered her sandwiches. Afterwards when she woke up in the computer room and saw Mackey still downloading data she was really worried. She grabbed his wrist and asked him what he was doing. When he looked at her she had felt affection for Mackey that she couldn't describe.

Nene looked down at Mackey and knew that she should let Mackey rest. Nene stared at Mackey and without even knowing why she bent down and gently kissed him on the forehead. Nene carefully put his hand down and as much as she didn't want to she stood up and walked away.

When Nene was only about seven steps away, she heard moans and groans behind her. She quickly turned around and realised that it was Mackey.
