This Is The End
Chapter Seven: If You Wish
Oh, well, the end of my first C6 fanfic. I'd like to thank the Academy...well no, but there are people I want to thank. Firstly, Ptah Aegyptus, for giving me good advice and being an inspiration, and also for giving me the link to the Cybersix forum! Thanks to Godess, who promised to check every day for the newest chapter, giving me motivation. Thanks to my father and my mother, who encourage me every step of the way, and thanks to FoxKids, for letting me experience Cybersix for the first time. I HATE YOU FOR TAKING IT AWAY FROM ME! *goes off to cry*
Cybersix kicked the doors to storage room A open. Data 7 immediately leaped upon the one Fixed Idea guarding the stacks of crates. Cybersix yanked on the lid of a crate. Lucas, I'm sorry I had to get you into this.
He bent over and helped her yank it off. Don't be sorry. Without me, let's say you'd be a very....lifeless little lady.
You mean...?
And knowing him, it would've been painful. Thank you, Lucas. I owe you one.
That's one life debt paid off. He laughed, and Cybersix smiled.
She took as many vials of sustenance as she could hold in one arm. I'll get you back to your apartment; will you keep some of these for me?
Of course.
Brandon grunted. Me too!
So, loaded down with sustenance vials (making it infinitely harder for Cybersix to carry Lucas in the air), the mysterious woman and her companions made their get-away.
Data 7 had returned to the sewers, leaving Cybersix to say goodnight to Lucas alone. She set him down on his still open balcony and sat on the railing while he stored the vials in a drawer.
Well, Cybersix...this has been quite a night.
You know...when you burst into the room...I have to admit, I was pretty relieved.
Well....relieved. Why?
Don't make this hard, Lucas. Because....never mind. It doesn't matter.
Lucas looked up at the sky. Did you ever think, Cybersix, that if you wish really hard on a star, your life might get a little more meaning to it?
Deep thoughts. If you wish really hard.... Yes, I do think that...sometimes.
Lucas' voice was quiet, almost inaudible. Cybersix doubted she'd have been able to hear it without her technologically enhanced hearing, but maybe that was his point. I think it all the time. Like...tonight... He turned to look at her, and, though perhaps unconscious of it, leaned forward.
Cybersix didn't draw back, but she made no sign that she acknowledged his movements. Well. I guess we'll both keep wishing. She stood up. Good night, Lucas.
Something about his face changed, and he looked suddenly tired. Even if she didn't realize it, she'd completely crushed his courage. Good night, Cybersix.
She leaped into the air, disappearing from his sight. Lucas leaned against the railing and looked at the sky once more. If you wish, really hard, on a star.....
There's a time when the moon
Reveals its face through the clouds
I let out a sigh
And want to cry out loud
But deep in my heart
I feel love so alive
In the depths of my soul
I know we will survive
And the warm they would pray
In their greed and their pride
But deep in my heart
I feel love so alive
In the depths of my soul
I know we will survive.
