The Inevitable

Maybe I'd be better on my own
No one ever seems to understand me
It's easier for me to be alone
But there's still a piece of me that feels so empty
I've been all over the world
I've seen a million different places
But through the crowds and all the faces
I'm still out there looking for you

Her eyes were blank, as she continued to aimlessly look up into nothing. Blue tints and yellow rays of light soared throughout her thin body as the Y-data was slowly collected. Her strawberry blonde hair lay in short wisps hardly reaching her shoulders, and her hat (A/N alright, I'm not a genius here, and I don't remember what those things are called ^-^; so if someone knows, tell me kay?) rested lightly on her head. Her attire had somewhat changed, and she was maturing, though her personality was still the same. It was exhausting, but there was one thing that kept her mind off it: Jr.

Oh,
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by
With never knowing at all
What is the chance
Of finding you out there
Or do I have to wait forever

She wondered how he was doing, and where he was. She missed him terribly, an empty spot in her heart, after they had spilt up in Second Miltia. A lot had changed since then. Although Mary had come along with her, it was only to help collect the Y-data. She had heard, that Shion had stumbled across her brother, Jin, and that Captain Matthews and his crew was doing okay. Not much had been said about Jr. at all.

I write about the things I'll never know
And I can't find a moment to slow down
Makes me think I'll never have the chance
To figure out, to figure out
What it's all about (what it's all about)
So tell me (tell me)
What it's all about

Cause
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by
With never knowing at all
What is the chance
Of finding you out there
Or do I have to wait forever

She had a connection to him, in a way, for she could sense if something was out of the ordinary, if something was wrong, and it had just happened now. They had finished transferring the Y-data, and Momo saw him, for the first time, in what seemed like ages. He was in some capsule devise, and then she saw him, his anger feeding into a red blazing, fire-like light, and a glimpse of Albedo.

She murmured his name, still staring into nothing, then found blackness, as she passed out, once the beams of light fell away from beneath her.

A light 'thump' hit against the floor. Juli Mizarahi stood up immediately; gasping at the sight of her daughter sprawled on the floor. "What's wrong with her?" she snapped at Mary, who was still gaping at the Momo.

"She seems to have passed out from over working…it's nothing serious!" she replied, accent and all.

"Oh, of course," Lifting her body, she took Momo to a bedroom. Mary silently followed. "Mary," she commanded, but her voice went to a low whisper "watch over her." The blonde nodded, and Juli walked out, leaving the two in complete tranquility.

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by
With never ever knowing at all
And I still don't know

Mary watched as she walked away, the heels of her shoes growing fainter and fainter. Finally, she sighed, her body relaxed into a droop. In her mind, the scene replayed over and over again, then she noted something; Momo had mumbled something before helplessly fainting to the ground. Trying to solve the puzzle of what she had said, she instead, remembered Momo's mouth shaping into the same way when she said one word: Jr. Mary smiled understandingly, and wondered to herself, "Junior, Junior, where are you when we need you most?"

Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by
With never ever knowing at all
What is the chance?
Of finding you out there
Or do I have to wait

Or do I have to wait
Or I have to wait forever
