It was late one day in Arni Village. Kid had agreed to go to Serge's home world so he and Poshul could visit Leena, their Leena anyway. The evening came and Leena, Serge, Poshul and Kid all gathered at Serge's house for some of Marge's home cooking. Serge seemed so happy when he was with Leena, he hardly even noticed that Kid and Poshul were there. During dinner, Poshul was munching on a heckran bone, Serge and Leena went off on a conversation like they hadn't spoken to each other in years, meanwhile Kid sat in the corner silently, but she found that no matter what, she could take her eyes off of Serge.

"Holding forbidden feelings within,
Thoughts of you fill my heart,
But the anguish and frustration is enough to bring me to tears."

After dinner, Serge and Leena decided to walk down to Opassa Beach. Kid, having nothing better to do, followed along. The two sat on the beach and gazed at the stars. Kid had found herself a comfortable spot in the trees where she watched the two sit and talk. She watched as Serge looked at Leena, giving her a look that he gave no one else but her. A single tear ran down Kid's cheek.

"Those eyes with which you look upon her,
I'm certain they will never falter,
But for a moment, just for a short moment, please look at me."

To Kid, Serge and Leena had seemed to talk for hours before they decided to go back to Arni. The three decided it was time for bed. Kid, under much influence by Marge and Leena, opted to stay at Leena's house. She took a spot on the floor with a couple of cushions underneath the balcony window. As the night rolled on Kid found that she couldn't sleep. Her thoughts constantly returned to Serge. If things had been different...

"If I were to meet you sooner than anyone else,
Would I have been able to love you just as I long to do?"

Kid's attention was shifted as she witnessed Leena sneak out of the house. Kid looked up out through the window to see Leena run and meet Serge on the pier. Kid watched as the two embraced. Kid started to cry again. She watched as the two kissed, then she turned her head away. She could watch no more.

"One more time, One more time,
If I was born to meet you again,
Please let me be your very own,
Your number one."

The next morning, Kid was extremely quiet. She, Serge and Poshul headed out again. But before they left, Serge gave Leena a kiss goodbye. As the crew headed out, Kid quietly sang to herself:

"One more time, One more time,
If I was born to meet you again,
Please let me be your very own,
Your number one."

Author's Notes:I hope you enjoyed it. The song is, of course, the song Ruri Hoshino sings from Martian Successor Nadesico, translations courtesy of ADV Films (not the most reliable chaps, but you got to get them from somewhere). Please R&R, this is my first video game fic and I want to know if I did okay. Thank you! :K-OSS:
