Introduction: Tonight we were, as usual, cruising in the ship sightseeing. I was annoying Gene which, since I have a crush on him, I didn't want to do so I tried to cut down on being an annoyance. I am Eliza Oyama, crew member of the Outlaw Star. I am writing this little story in my diary, so it'll be from my own point of view so you can get an idea of what is going on around here. I'll start off by saying this: I have been watching over Gene like the "stalking ghost",as Gene calls me, that I am. And it also seems Gene is showing some feelings toward me. I don't know if he is what I think he is but I'll let you decide and see if he really IS showing feelings toward me. Oh yeah,and I might make chapters of this story so I can keep a kind of little diary to let you know what's been happening.
It started one night when we all were sitting at a diner eating. It has been exactly one week after our encounter with the McDougall Brothers. I had gotten over that though, since I've been concentrating on more important things. Gene and Jim were having a conversation while they were eating, but I didn't interrupt because I'm not rude. I had finished my dinner, then announced I was going for a walk. "Okay, but if everyone thinks a bomb went off, we'll know you're around!", Gene said sarcastically. "Yeah, I'll make sure to bust their eardrums real good for you okay?", I replied back. "Hey, I'm just teasing you!", Gene said. "Well save the playing around for later", I whispered to Gene. I walked out into the public, blending in like a normal person and walked around the place for a little bit, stopping in a corner where I would rest without being seen. I would stop and look in store windows or see what new guns and bullets were out. I would even look at the shoe store which would be funny if Gene saw me looking there. But I know it sounds like I was a homeless person, which is what I practically was before I met up with the Outlaw Star crew.
"C'mon Eliza, it's time to go now!", said a voice behind me. It was Melfina. We went back to the ship and took off. Then we all decided to hang out in the living room. "I was looking for you after we left, I was thinking you'd be standing right there or following me without me knowing", Gene told me. "Yeah, he even looked at the shadows!", Jim said. "But then I saw your figure standing outside the gun store and came and got you", Melfina said. "Oh yeah, and I saw this and got it for you Eliza. Here, just a little something to show my love", Gene said and handed me a little flower. "Thank you, it looks real nice", I said to Gene. Now I love him even more than I did before, I thought. "Well I do know how to please girls, don't I?", Gene asked. "Yeah, you've really captured my heart Gene", I replied, rolling my eyes. "Why thank you", Gene said. I walked over and sat next to Gene. "But if you try anything, I'll have to kill you", I exclaimed, pulling out my gun and pointing it at Gene's head. "No, don't shoot me! I won't try anything, I promise!", Gene said, acting scared. I laughed at Gene. "You act like a child Gene! And I would never shoot you, besides my gun wasn't loaded", I replied. "Hey, why do you have to scare me like that!",Gene asked. "Aww! Come here, I'll make you feel better", I said in a baby voice. I gave Gene a hug which made him feel better. "Careful Eliza, he might try something if you keep hugging him", Ashia said suddenly. "Yeah, I might try to get you in my room", Gene said sarcastically. "Are you serious?", Melfina asked. "I just said I wouldn't try anything", Gene replied. "What if I try something?", I asked flirtatiously. "No comment", Gene said with a laugh. "Hey! You'd let Eliza advance on you?", Melfina said surprised. I laughed at Melfina. Melfina walked over to Gene. "Hey, wait your turn! I had him first!", I shouted to Melfina. Gene laughed. "Okay Eliza, you had me long enough, now it's Melfina's turn.", Gene said. I stood up and announced that I would be in my room. "Two girls fighting over Gene, who would have thought?", Ashia said. "You, shut up", I said pointing at Ashia. "You", I said pointing to Gene, "You better watch out when you pass a dark corner because I might be there and I might do something...unorthodox", I gave a toothy smirk before walking off. "Yeah, I'll make sure to keep my eyes out for you!",Gene called back to me.
I walked down the hallway to my room, but decided to go to my secret spot to do some searching on my computer. I creeped off to the darkest part of the ship and found my little laptop where I do research and stuff. I logged on and found a friend was on too, one of my navigator friends. I didn't bother talking though and looked up my horoscope for the day. It said "That special someone will take interest in you when you least expect it". Of course, I didn't believe in it since I had experience with other horoscopes. My friend sent me a Instant Message and asked if I'd "nailed" Gene, of course I knew she was joking. I sent back that it'll be some time, but I'm getting closer. I logged off and shut down the laptop. I creeped off into my room and sat down on my bed. I thought I heard something, but when I looked up there was nothing there. I got up and began pacing around my room. All of a sudden, someone grabbed me and pushed me onto my bed, covering me up and holding me down in place. It was Gene, as usual, teasing me for fun. When he let me go, I'd gotten over my shock. I uncovered myself and glared at Gene. Gene was laughing with glee. "Why do YOU do THOSE things to me? You tease me too much!", I said to Gene. "I love to play around with you though, you're so much fun! You also told me to save the teasing for later, remember?", Gene replied. "Yeah, yeah. But sometimes it seems someone's after me, stalking me almost. I sometimes fear for my life, and I just don't feel loved anymore.", I said with a sigh. "Well, there's those kind of people", Gene said before leaning closer and whispering in my ear. "And then there's me", he whispered. Gene licked my cheek playfully before leaving my room.
Stay tuned for next chapter...
