flooded into the room that Aeka, the First Princess of the planet
Jurai, and her Sister Sasami shared.
Aeka stretched, yawned, and
sat up halfheartedly. She really couldn't think of any reason to get
up today. she knew without so much as moving off of her futon that
downstairs at that very moment, Ryoko would be hanging off of Tenchi
as he tried to put his shoes on so he could go check the fields,
Tenchi would be playing the all-too familiar
'get-Ryoko-off-of-my-arm-now'
game, Mihoshi would have some great dilemma that would be driving
Kiyone insane, Washu would be busy doing Tsunami knows what in her
lab, Sasami would be playing checkers with Noboyuki-who always lost,
and Grandfathe would be at the shrine.
Every day was always the same. And every night, Aeka went to be with the same empty, lost feeling inside. Yet, she was confused, as she didn't know where she had gotten lost from, and what she was now missing.
Aeka sighed, and forced herself to get up, dressed, and downstairs. She noticed, with a wry smile, that she had been correct about the happenings downstairs to the minute details. She groaned, and then went to sit out on the deck until breakfast, just like every morning.

"Aeka, whatsa matter?" Sasami questioned, concern evident in her adorable pink eyes as she slipped out onto the deck and stood before her big sister.
Breakfast had long since passed, and since then, Aeka had done nothing but sit on the deck and watch a few puffy white clouds move lazily across the summer sky.
"Nothing, Sasami. I am just tired." How many lies did that make that she had told those that she cared about so deeply. She had lost count long ago.
"Well, okay Aeka..." Sasami said gently. She sat next to her for a few moments, waiting to see if her sister would speak again. When she didn't, Sasami stood, and began to walk back into the house. She got only a few steps away, however, when Aeka's voice stopped her.
"Sasami..."
"Yes,
Aeka?" Sasami asked, as she turned and walked back to where her
sister sat. Aeka turned, and
looked at Sasami for only a moment before she pulled her dear sister
in for a hug. Sasami was a little confused, but she hugged her big
sister back. They sat there on the deck for quite a long time, just
hugging. Aeka got strength knowing that the lost ship of her soul
could always find port with Sasami, no matter how turned around it
got.
Blissfully, she fell into peaceful slumber.

When Aeka awoke, she looked up to see that night had fallen, and the pale moon was looking down on her. It was then that she realized what this feeling she had was.
The moon looks so lonesome, she thought to herself, like me...
Tears filled Aeka's eyes as she watched wisps of clouds flow evenly over the Lonely Moon.
