Hey there, everyone! Well, disclaimer time! I ... don't...own Outlaw Star. If I did do you think I would have ended it the way it was and have to write a fanfic? Anyways, seeing as how this is my first one, don't jump me, please.

The story takes place probably a month or two after the show ended. Hope you enjoy and if you don't, well that's not my problem. By the way, there is Harry and Melfina romance, so to all the Gene lovers, NO! He won't get Melfina. I'd rather pluck my eyes out and worship a feather than see him with her! Oh yeah, possible lemon! Let's start this, I've wasted too much time on the disclaimer anyway.

"Video games!"

"Tea."

"VIDEO GAMES, NOW!"

"I think even you could get by just sitting down and drinking tea with us, Aisha," Suzuka said camly.

"No! You don't feel a need to destroy at will and let out your anger!", Aisha yelled annoyingly loud.

"I prefer to keep my anger suppressed"

Just another day for the crew. The sun shining, the people having a great time...that is until Aisha broke that peace. The crew was walking down a boardwalk next to the plaza at the beach to killl time on their day off. Jim and Gene never could figure out which store was the best one to get supplies at, they both at their ups and downs. Aisha and Suzuka argued over where the last place they would go for the day was, and Suzuka wasn't a fan of video game arcades. Melfina just walked along, smiling every time Suzuka made a calm comeback at Aisha and wondering where she wouls go on this beautiful day.

"Fine, I'm going with out you, Suzuka," Aisha scremed in her usual tone before speeding like a bullet through the arcade doors.

"Aisha," Melfina said calling out to her with a worrysome tone, "Come back. Tea's not thatbad ... is it?"

There was no answer. Aisha was long gone and too enthralled in Frontier Warfare 4: The Apocalypse for anyone to get her attention again, that is until she ran out of money.

"Great! She's gone", Gene told Jim. "Now, what should we do?"

"Gene," Suzuka said trying to grab his attention.

"What is it, Suzuka?" Gene replied with a puzzled look. Whenever Suzuka spoke it usually meant she had something important to say.

"If you don't mind, I'm going to go grab some tea by myself. Unless, of course, anyone wants to come with me."

"Nah, tea really isn't my poison," Gene said with his typical arrogance.

"Thanks, but no thanks," Jim replied politely. "Besides, I've got to babysit," he replied while pointing at Gene.

"HA HA! Very funny. Now let's... hey! Where did Melfina go?"

"If you were paying attention, Gene, she siad she was going to go watch the sunset," Suzuka said as if she couldn't believe Gene would be ignoring someone else. "I extended my invitation to her, but she declined. She said she just wanted to be alone."

"Well, okay. If she wants to do something on her her own, she can, right?" Gene siad before grabbing Jim and going into the artillary shop for caster shells.

"Great, another day in freaking paradise," Harry said as sat down.

Harry had just left his apartment and went to the pier. He loved to sit there and draw to relieve whatever stress was building up in him and to think about things that were bothering him. He wasn't a good drawer, but he felt it was a better alternative than breaking things around his house. Besides, this way he could think clearly about the one thing that meant the most to him in this world. He pulled up a seat on the left wing of the pier and began looking at on old weeping willow that was near a cliff. He began to lightly sketch away, trying to get every detail in. He was to worried though about what he was going to do. Ron had left two months ago on a asignment and kept in touch, but took every penny they owned because this the toughest job he had every undertaken. He also didn't bring Harry for fear that Harry would die a second time.

"Grrrr. Why did everyone have to leave me? WHY!" Harry said in a loud whisper.

He ripped through the paper with his pencil and threw the ruined sketch to the ground. He tried to begin it again. It was going to be hard for him. Seeing as how Ron took everything except the furniture in the apartment and what belonged to Harry, Harry realized that he would have to move out soon. Not knowing anyone and not knowing when Ron was coming back neant he'd have to do something to survive. Just what that something was was something he didn't know yet. Harry emotions got the best of him. As he tore off another ruined picture, he began to she tears falling on the notepad.

Dammit! Why does this always happen to me? He thought as he still cried silently. I'm all alone. Ron, I don't even know if your okay or not and still I'm mad at you. But I can't stay mad. I'm worrying too much about someone else to stay mad at you. Just then, Harry put his head between his knees and began to cry uncontrollably. Melfina, where are you? Did you even make it back from the Leyline alive? Are you ok? Melfina, where are you.

As Melfina kept walking down the boardwalk, she arrived at the pier. As she walked down, she proceeded to the right wing to watch the sunset, oblivious to the fact that Harry MacDougall, the man who would die for her in a second was sitting thirty feet from her in ters over the fact that he didn't know if she was safe.

She put her arms on the wood rail that prevented people from falling over the edge. As she stared out over the water, she began to wonder about her future. She thought back to what she told Gene at the Leyline. She wanted to be with him, but he obviously misunderstood what she meant. Why can't he just be my friend like I wanted? Everything has to be intimate with guys. I just want a friend, someone to talk to. Someone. Anyone. And Harry, what happened to you? Why did you disappear in front of me? Oh God, why was I put here for this?

Just as she thought that, she began to weep silently. There was no way to know whether Harry was alive or not, except turn around. Harry raised his head up and dried his eyes. I hate crying. I got it! If I draw her, maybe it'll relieve stress. With that, Harry drew the only decent thing he's ever drawn in his entire life. He observed his drawing carefully and meticuously. Perfect! This one's going on the wall! That is, if I have walls of a home to go back to.

Melfina continued to gaze, tears still in her eyes, at the beautful sunset. It's glow of orange, red and even a little puple shone of the clouds giving Melfina a warm feeling. As she continuedto watch, a strong gust of wind blew some sand from the top of the wood railing into her brown eyes. She immediately grabbed her eyes and scramed in pain at the burning sensation courseing through her face. Harry's shot up when he heard her crying in pain.

"Great, another cryer. Just what I need," he wispered so that whoever was behind him wouldn't hear him.

He got up and turned around and walked towards Melfina, not recognizing her immediately due to the glare of the sunlight, the fact that Melfina wasn't wearing her usual clothes, and the tears he quickly wiped from his own eyes.

"Are you ok?" he inquired trying to get some response from whoever was in pain.

Melfina heard his voice and immediately turned around with her hands over her face, trying to rub the sand out of her tightly shut eyes.

"Ahhhh, yes, please!" she said in a gasping breath.

"No! Don't rub your eyes. It only makes it hurt more. Just keep them closed."

With that, he slowly pulled her hands from her face and saw it was his angel, Melfina. His jaw dropped and he felt like heis heart was about to shoot out of his chest. Melfina! Oh yes! I knew she was alive. Okay, don't freak out, she'll only run away. Just help her out then start a conversation.

"Are you going to hurt me" Melfina said with a tremble in her voice. Harry couldn't tell if that tremble came from the pain of her eyes or if she found out who he was.

"No!" he said quickly. "Don't be silly. I'm just going to go get some water to wash your eyes with. Wait here."

Harry ran back to his chair and reached into a napsack he had and grabbed an unopened bottle of water. He quickly ran back to Melfina, craking the top off the bottle as he got closer to her.

"Okay, this may sound like I'm gonna hurt you, but I'm going to tilt your head back so I can pour this in, okay?"

"Sure. Whatever. Go ahead" Melfina said at a rapid pace.

As harry knelt down, he layed Melfina neck over his knee and began lightly dripping water from the bottle into her eyes. She began to rapidly close and open them to clean her eyes out. After he was done helping her he sat her up at helped her to her feet.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked with obvious concern in his voice.

"Yes, thanks to you." Melfina said, rubbing her shut eyes to get the last bits of sand out.

"I told you I'd take care of you, didn't I?"

Suddenly, Melfina stopped rubbing her eyes and paused. "I don't remember you saying that," she said as she opened her eyes and focused in on Harry's face.

"Oh my God! Harry!"

Well, that's it for chapter one! What will happen? Will Melfina run from Harry? Will she be glad to see him? Will my fanfic get cancelled due to low ratings? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more fun!
