Rating: G (for now)

Summary: Gabriel falls in love, yet this love isn't quite what she seems. Chapter one, at least, has lyrics inserted here and there from the song "Somewhere Out There" by Our Lady Peace.

Note/Disclaimer: We don't own anybody, (except Jade) we only wish we did.

The following takes place sometime after Lagrimas.



Chapter One



In Mario's pizza place, Sara Pezzini was on her lunch break. She notices a dark figure in the corner. Ian moves to her side and sits down beside her.

"Sara, I must talk to you." says Ian.

"Nice to see you too." remarks Sara with her mouth full.

"It's about that guy"

"You didn't kill him, I did."

"I know, I just wanted to say I'm sorry." says Ian with sincerity.

"Thanks."

Soon, Gabriel walks in and sits with them.

"Wow, Gabriel, you're out of your apartment." says Sara with a smile.

"Business is slow." says Gabriel with a sigh.

After a few minutes a beautiful waitress comes to the table.

"May I take your order?"

Gabriel looks up at her with his lovely brown eyes, and is immediately drawn to her.

"I'll have a water." says Ian.

"Alright, and you, sir?" She turns to Gabriel

Gabriel can't seem to speak to her. "....I'll...have...a coke..." he manages to say.

"Alright, I'll be back out with your drinks." She walks sway and disappears into the kitchen.



Last time I talked to you, you were lonely and out of place.

You were looking down on me, lost out in space.

Laid underneath the stars, strung out and feeling brave.

Watch the riddles glow, watch them float away.



Jake walks into the restaurant and sits with the gang.

"Hi'o." says Jake with a cheerful smile on hi face.

They all give him a blank look.

"What?"

Gabriel looks at him and says, "You're a little too cheerful to be a cop in homicide."

The waitress walks in and notices Jake. A look of despair comes to her face.

"Here are your drinks, would you like something?" she asks, turning to Jake.

"Yeah, I'll have a coke."

"Alright" she says with a hint of irritation in her voice. She then walks back to the kitchen.

Down here in the atmosphere, garbage and city lights,

you gotta save your tired soul, gotta save our lives.

Turn on the radio to find you on satellite,

I'm waiting for the sky to fall, I'm waiting for a sign.



"I need to get back to work." says Sara

"Wait...." says Jake "...does anyone want to go to the football game with me?"

"No" they all say.

The girl comes out with Jake's drink and sees them leaving, so she turns back to the kitchen.

Gabriel makes sure he's the last one out, hoping he might see her again. She walks slowly out the kitchen door, carrying a try of food to a table. A small smile crosses Gabriel's face as she walks out the door.



All we are is all so far



Many hours later, Gabriel is sleeping in his apartment. His mind is filled with dreams of the lovely young lady. He can picture her lovely smile, her long raven hair, her brown eyes. Even in his dreams he couldn't help but to slip further into love with her.



You're falling back to me, the star that I can't see

I know you're out there, somewhere out there.
