Soul in Tune with a Wish (11/12)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He could still hear the excitement in Michael's shrill voice:
"Tommorow is the big finish!!!!"
As Ray packed the last of the equipment into the van, he shuddered.
::Big finish indeed:: he thought to himself. As a band they hadn't gone over
the music once, nor had they had a legitimate practice in 10 months. And to
add to the confusion, it had been about two days since his little 'talk' with
Basara... To say the least, Ray was very curious as to how todays practice in
City 7 would go...
:: That's if they can make through the van ride.::
Ray returned to the driver's seat of the vehicle. "Is Mylene here yet?", he
questioned to Basara who reclined in the passenger seat.
"She's in the back."
Ray adjusted the rearview mirror suprised at how quiet it was. "Well, Akusho
here we come."
**** 2 hours later ****
Basara's thoughts were tinged with pride and excitement... Here was their
appartment. He stepped out of the van taking time to absorp the atmosphere.
Ray rested a hand on Basara's shoulder. "It feels good to be home, doesn't
it."
Basara nodded.
**** 1 hour later ****
Basara studied Mylene as she sang.
"/There's a certain sound\"
"/always follows me around\"
She was a little flat, yet he decided not to say a word.
"/when your close to me\"
"/you will hear it\"
She was off key by now. Ray waited for a reaction from Basara, and was
surprised when he recieved none.
"/It's the sound that lovers\"
"/finally will discover\"
Her guitar made a horrible noise, yet Basara allowed her to keep going.
"/when there is no other\"
"/for their love...
*********
Akiko adjusted her chair.
"Is everyone ready?" The silence gave Michael the answer he was hoping
for, "and start rolling... now."
"Scene 29, take one."
The camera zoomed in on Akiko's rouge lips.
"You have a deal."
She rested the phone on the reciever before whispering "Firebomber..."
"And stop rolling... now! That was great work. See everyone tommorow"
*********
Ray removed his keyboard.
"Well, I think we should take a break."
Basara nodded before glancing over at a solemn Veffidas.
Ray touched a hand to his chin.
"Maybe we could go to a restaurant."
Veffedas clanged her cymbal in approval.
Basara, still standing, fiddled with the amplifyer. " I'm not hungry."
Ray turned to Mylene, who remained standing. "And you?"
Mylene shook her head. " I'm not hungry either."
Ray arched an eyebrow. "Well should I order--"
Before he could finish, Basara began.
"It's okay Ray. Go on ahead."
*********
Gamlin pulled up in front of a gas station. He unbuckled his seatbelt
before noticing a strange green object in the sky. His eyes never leaving the
flaming object, he proceeded to radio intelligence.
"Captain Maximillian. This is Major Gamlin...
I don't know how to describe this..."
*********
The silence in the room was unbearable. Mylene removed her guitar and sank to
the bare wooden floor.
Basara gazed wistfully at his weather-beaten valkyrie through the window...
It almost looked peaceful... satisfied even. Basara sighed as he recalled all
the years he had spent searching... he had gone all over the galaxy only to
find that what he had been searching for had pink hair and was right under
his nose... He smiled at that last thought. It was both literally and
figuratively true. When he had come back from soul-searching in the
galaxy, Mylene had grown a good couple of inches in all directions...
Basara reddened :: why are you thinking such thoughts?::
He sighed again before turning to find a collapsed Mylene. Seeing her like
this thoroughly depressed him. He decided to make conversation. "Are you
ready for tommorrow."
Mylene's eyes remained cast down. "Did I sound like I was ready?"
He picked up her bass guitar and began to approach her. "Well make sure you
let it all out before they get back." He held the stringed instrument before
her.
Mylene was at a loss of words. Basara was being so understanding... it
almost moved her to tears. She accepted his offer yet remained seated.
He crouched down besides her, unplugging his guitar.
"The last scene is tommorrow." His voice was almost sad.
Mylene closed her eyes. "A lot of things are ending in my life."
Basara was taken aback by that last comment. He shook his head.
"Whatever it is, don't let it get you down." He reached over to tuck a few
stray wisps of hair behind her ear. At the feel of her skin, he froze.
Mylene felt her heart quicken. She turned to face Basara, who quickly pulled
his hand away and proceeded to get up. "What's wrong?" she followed him with
her eyes.
As he walked away, his heart began to pound erratically against his chest.
He could hear the rustling of clothes and feet behind him.
"It feels like everything is happening so fast."
Mylene stopped moving.
Basara continued. "It seems like I just got back from seeing the space
whales..."
Mylene smiled.
Basara turned to face her. "I just realized something though..."
Mylene couldn't read the expression on his face. "what?"
Basara looked down. "That I wasted a lot of time."
Mylene furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
Basara turned to face her again. "Do you remember the song I was telling you
about... Where you'd be the first to hear it."
Mylene scratched her head.
"Didn't you give all the songs to Ray?"
Basara shook his head. "Not all..." He adjusted his fingers and began.
"/Once I thought my innocence was gone\"
"/Now I know that happiness goes on\"
He looks down again before looking into Mylene's eyes.
"/That's where you found me\"
"/when you put your arms around me\"
"/I haven't been there for the longest time\"
Mylene's eyes widen as Basara continues.
"/I had second thoughts at the start\"
"/I said to myself\"
"/hold on to your heart\"
Basara begins to walk towards her, studying her bewildered expression
along the way.
"/Now I know the woman that you are\"
"/You're wonderful so far\"
"/and it's more than I hoped for.\"
He stops only when his giutar is scant centimeters away from her.
"/I don't care what consequence it brings\"
"/I have been a fool for lesser things\"
"/I want you so bad\"
"/I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for the longest time.\"
*********
Ray sank his spoon into the very center of the second scoop.
"Vefidas, let's head back."
Veffidas sipped her cola calmly.
Noticing that the woman refused to budge, Ray reached for his coat. Well
i'm leaving--"
Veffidas interrupted, "Leave them. They've got things to work out."
She took another drag at the spiral straw.
Ray sighed.
*********
Basara removed his guitar. "What's wrong?"
Mylene kept her back to him.
His heart began to pound again... Was it too early? Did he scare her away?
Basara froze again as Mylene finally turned to face him.
She gazed into his eyes. "You're not kidding are you.."
Basara's heart stopped for a second.
Mylene backed away. "Are you serious?"
Basara stepped forward. "Of course baka!"
Mylene covered her ears. "You don't have to yell!"
Basara clenched his fists :: how annoying!:: "I'm not yelling!"
Mylene grabbed his arm gently.
"You're not kidding right?"
At her touch, Basara calmed. His voice was so gentle, it was almost a
whisper... "How many times do I have to tell you that i'm serious."
"Well I was feeling the same way..." Melene looked into his eyes dubiously...
"Are you sure you're--"
Basara touched a finger to her lips before taking her in a tight embrace.
"Shut up..."
Lord was it hard to think or reason. Mylene just wrapped her arms around his
neck, and sunk her head into his shoulders.
TO BE CONTINUED!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
1. The song Basara is singing is by Billy Joel. It's called
"For the Longest Time"
2. One more chapter left... ;_;

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Good evening, I'm Linda Clask. We're here live at the premiere of Michael
Kirigoe's movie, "Fire Bomb"."
The camera shifts angles into the crowd of people coming in.
"Tonight is a night for music, fashion, and celebration."
Just then a white van pulls up.
The news reporter's eyes widen. "It looks like Firebomber has finally
arrived."
The door opens and Veffidas steps out in a short, black dress complete with
a long, glittered, fuschia cape. The photographers immediately seize the
opportunity to flash their cameras.
The camera zooms in on the door as the reprter continues.
"This is their first public appearance in almost a year..."
Ray steps out in a white tuxedo with a pink tie.
"I'm not sure whether they're performing tonight, but there is plenty of
gossip about what happened on the set during the shooting of this film..."
Basara steps out in a black tuxedo and a pink bowtie.
"I'm sure all questions will be cleared up when the film opens next week."
He reaches into the van and Mylene steps out wearing a long, pink dress with
a white boa. Ray and Veffidas walk arm in arm, and so do Basara and Mylene.
The reporter continues.
"The soundtrack for this movie was released last week, and was number one
on every music chart across the glaxy... Fire bomber looks wonderful, and
after the movie is done, i'll tell you whether it was wonderful or not.
Signing out, this is Linda Clask. Back to you Malcus."
******
Two girls stare at the screen. "I wish I was there."
Miho sighs. "They look wonderful... i'm so jealous"
******
Mylene turns to Basara. "Are we allowed to eat popcorn in here?"
Basara shrugs. "Who knows?" They arrive at their seats. Basara turns to
Ray. "Are we watching the whole thing?"
Ray nodded. "I want to see how it turned out."
Suddenly the theatre goes dark.
*** 2 hours later ***
There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Even Basara sniffled a bit. As the
lights brightened appluase could be heard.
As the crowds began to head towards the door, Basara ran to the top of the
stage. "Ladies and gentleman," he yelled, "we ask that you take your seats."
The theatre buzzed as Veffidas pushed her drum set onto the stage. Ray
set up the amplifyer while Mylene handed Basara his guitar with a wink.
It took a few minutes for the band to tune up, but in no time, Mylene
was ready to start.
"/There's a certain sound\"
"/always follows me around\"
"/when your close to me\"
"/you will hear it\"
"/It's the sound that lovers\"
"/finally will discover\"
"/when there is no other\"
"/for their love...\"
Basara joins her vocally, and the two synchronize perfectly.
"/It's my happy heart you hear\"
"/singing loud and singing clear\"
"/and it's all because you're near me my love...\"
"/take my happy heart away\"
"/make me love you make my day\"
"/in your arms I want to stay\"
"/oh my love\"
Mylene's voice fades away as Basara continues alone.
"/Feeling more and more\"
"/like I never felt before\"
"/you have changed my life so completely\"
He glances at Mylene through his periphials.
"/music fills my soul now\"
"/I've lost all control now\"
"/I'm not half, i'm whole now\"
"/with your love\"
Mylene joins him.
"/It's my happy heart you hear\"
"/singing loud and singing clear\"
"/and it's all because you're near me my love...\"
"/take my happy heart away\"
"/make me love you make my day\"
"/in your arms I want to stay\"
"/oh my love\"
To be Bomber!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
1. Book 1 is over!!!! ^.~
2. Now that book 1 is over, I have to start book two!
Mu ha ha! That thing that Gamlin saw in the sky will start trouble.
^o^ Let's just say, things don't get happy again for a while...
