The Outlaw star sped along through the open space. Gene was more than ticked off at the man from the space station.

"2500 wong to repair a ship!!!" Gene exclaimed loadly to the overly plump man. "You gotta be kidding me!!!"

The man leaned forward staring at the red headed outlaw, "2500 wong is the price, now pay up!!!"

Aisha let out an sneeze rubbing a slender finger under her sore nose. She had been a bit worried when Gene had allowed the two kids to go ahead on their own, but Hanmyo had experience with her ship so she told herself not to dwell on the subject. It wasn't until they began their aproach to Xellos II that her thoughts became filled with fear for her buddies.

Gene had called into the docking bay to check on any new ships that had arrived. When the man replied saying that only two ships had entered, neither of which matched the Tororata's description. Asteroids floated by the red ship slowly. From across the cockpit, Aisha heard a gasp from the quiet Laguna.

"Oh my God!"

"What?!?!?" Aisha got out of her seat and ran over to see what had distressed the dark haired man. There, floating past, was the Tororata's escape pod. It was busted on all sides, large dents evident on the cool sun yellow paint. Aisha's eyes were wide with disbelief, likewise Gene's and Laguna's. A trail of smoke led down to the planets surface below.

"Gene!" Aisha exclaimed, but Gene was already shifting the controls in the direction of the trailing cloud. Let them be ok, Aisha pleaded silently as she went back to her seat.

Hanmyo's eyes slowly opened. The cabin of her ship was a blur. Blinking, it came into focus and she reached for her head as pain serged through it. She felt the sticky cloth under her fingers. What the..., she thought, and looked down beside her seat. Jim lay against the side, asleep. Hanmyo pushed herself out of the seat and stood up in the dull red light. She slowly let herself drift to the floor next to the boy she cared so much for. She noticed his bare chest and blushed a bit. She smiled and felt the torn cloth again, now understanding where it came from. He had destroyed his shirt for her. It kinda sounded strange, but to Hanmyo it was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her.

A tear ran down her face but she quickly wiped it away when she saw him stir. His blue eyes opened and turned to look at her. She still wore the smile.

"Hanmyo..." He said weakly, "...youre okay..." he slid over slightly and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Jim?" Hanmyo asked, worry in her voice, "are you ok?"

Jim nodded his head, and she slipped her arm around him. She gently laid him down placing his head on her lap. His eyes were sleepily half open, almost refusing to close and drift off into the darkness once more.

"Hanmyo..."

"yes.." She said, a little weak herself.

"...can you ...sing me a song?"

Hanmyo blinked, a little surprised by the question, "...Sure, Jim.... what do you want me to sing?"

"...can you sing....you are my sunshine?(I know its been used but hey its really sweet so there XÞ)"

She smiled and softly began to sing in a sweet little girl voice.

"You are my sunshine,

my only sunshine

you make me happy when skies are grey,

you''ll never know dear,

how much i love you.

so please dont take my sunshine away."

Jim smiled closing his eyes.

"What else do you what me to sing?" Hanmyo need to pass the time to keep herself from going crazy.

"...how about...amazing grace?" Jim whispered. She nodded.

The young girl began to sing the soft, sweet song. Her hand brushed away the boys blond bangs, smiling as he nuzzled her small hand. His eyes closed and she continued her hym.

Glisening tears began to fall from her dark brown eyes, her voice cracking as the wall of hope began to slowly crack and crumble. She continued to sing as Jim brought his hand up to her cheek, wiping the trespassing water. He sat up and embrassed her as she finished the sweet melody and they both sat together in a silent dispear.
