Hello everyone. This fic is a new version of my Outlaw Star fic
"Nightmares" It was well recived but a lot of reviewers thought it should of
been longer. Therefore after much deliberation I have decided to create a special
edition version where the story is more detailed. So for first time readers of
this fic you can go read the shorter version or you can read this better one.
Also don't worry this story will have a few twists and turns that the orginal
story did not. By the way I do not nor do I claim to own any of the following
characters this is a completely fictional story. Now thats out of the way so,
enjoy!

The Outlaw Star had just docked at Kalbeta space port and the crew was
glad to be there. It had been a weeks trip to get there and all five members of
the strange yet familar crew were glad to strech their legs. It was esspically
reausuring because for a rare change money was not going to be an issue. Before
leaving the last space port Gene had finnaly came through for the team. A man
named Qazar was wanted through out the galaxy for robbery and murder by sheer
luck Gene and Jim ran into him while searching for caster shells. The battle
that ensued was short but in the end Gene came out on top. The bounty on the
man's head was 800,000 wong. The group decided to use 500,000 to pay off part
of what they owed Fred and keep the other 300,000 for some spending cash. For
once they were all going to have a fun weekend.

Gilliam docked the ship with Jim's help as it was only 9:00 am and Gene
was still fast asleep. After paying for the weekend docking fees Jim went back
to the Outlaw Star as he could already smell the breakfest Melfina was cooking.
As he had guessed Melfina was hard at work in the kitchen turning out piles
upon piles of pancakes (mostly to fill up Aisha). Suzuka was the next to appear
at the table and as ussal was her normal ultra polite self. She put aside her
boken and sat quietly at the table after saying good morning to Jim and Mel.
Aisha was the next to apper, she scramble down the stairs as soon as she caught
the wiff of food in the air and quickly took her seat as she almost drooled with
anticipation. She was so enticed by the food that she barely noticed the others
were there.

Melfina then turned and said "Okay everyone here ya go, dig in" she said
as she set a stack of 3 pancakes in front of each of them.

Jim began to eat quickly as he was indeed hungry, Suzuka ate politely
carefully cutting each peice while she complemented Melfina on the taste.
Aisha.....well lets just say table manners are not her strong suit.

As the trio ate breakfest a familar yawn was heard at the door. The
group turned to see Gene half a sleep standing at the door.

"My god, Gene your up before 10:00 its a miracle." said Jim as he
chuckled.

Gene tossed him a dirty look when he saw Melfina and Aisha attempting to
fight of the giggles...and failing. Suzuka just smiled and sipped her juice.
"Oh shut up, I am up early because I intend to enjoy today" said Gene

"Yeah it will be nice for a change, not having to worry about all the
money problems" said Jim "I can't wait for a weekend with nothing to worry about"

"Well remeber this James it was I who caught that punk, yeah me and you
would not have this weekend of peice if it was not for me" said Gene as he sat
down for breakfest.

Jim was about to say something about how he was the one who pointed Qazar
in the first place but he was cut off by Melfina who said "Gene sometimes you
such an Egotist"

"Yeah but this Egotist is your lover" Gene said as he gave Melfina a
quick kiss on the cheek.

Melfina kissed him back and said "Don't remind me"

Jim then fell to the ground holding his sides as he laughed himself silly.

Later that afternoon the gang was eating lunch at a fast food resturant
on the staion and the were all discusing what they were going to do with the
rest of the day.

"So Gene what do you and your ego want to do today?" said Jim sarcastically

"Well I was thinking of going out" said Gene with a sly tone in is voice

"Oh really out to say....a club" said Jim

Gene's face got very red and a sly fox grin creeped accross his face as he
said "Well you could say that"

"That wouldn't be a strip club would it" said Melfina as she stood behind
him with an angry look on her face.

"Mel, your back from the bathroom...so soon....uh no, I didn't mean a
strip club. I ment a.....ahh......a dance club, yeah!" said Gene nervously

"Dancing!" said Mel as her face lit up "I have never been dancing can I
go"
"What! But, now wait I......oh sure Mel you can come" Gene said defeated
Gene then turned to see his young partner and Aisha attempting to hide their
laughter, and failing. Gene then decided that a little revenge was in order.
"So Jim what did you plan on doing with your day, the Outlaw Star is up to snuff
so you have a free day ahead of you."

Jim was about to respond but then he realized Aisha was sitting next to
him and he said "Well I think I'm gonna go to mumblemumble" Jim attempted to hide
the place he was going from a certain Ctarl Ctarl but he failed.

"Your going to the Arcade alright! I wanna go" said Aisha

Jim then let out a low groan as Gene savored the sweet revenge.

"So Suzu that takes care of us four what about you" said Aisha

"If you must know I plan on going to a spa and relaxing, and for the last
time don't call me that!" said Suzuka raising her voice for effect.

"Well that sounds good to me" said Gene "How about we all meet back here
for dinner"

The others agreed and they all went their sepereate ways.

About two hours later Jim found himself playing darts at the local arcade.
While Aisha was busy with a VR game called Galactic Fighter. After Aisha had spent
a lot of tokens she came to Jim and said "Um Jim, would you mind if I....borrow.."

Jim then turned to her and said "Aisha this happens everytime you come with
me you always spend all your tokens and then bug me for some more."

"Oh please Jim just one wong, I promise I will beat the game by then."
said Aisha giving Jim her best puppy dog...(scratch that)...kitty cat eyes.

"Oh...alright but after that we have to go back to the diner its getting
late." He said

Your the best Jim she said as she ruffled her fingers through his hair.
She then bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran to find the the token
machine.

Now the hair ruffle was nothing new to Jim, but the kiss was a whole other
matter. Jim had never been kissed by a girl. So Jim was a statue for a few seconds.
Eventually however, he got to his sense brushing off the kiss as just another way
Aisha attempted to embaress him.

About twenty minutes later Jim had finnaly convinced Aisha to leave despite
the fact she was not able to beet the game. "I tell you Jim those games are fixed,
they are bias to the Ctarl Ctarl. Its not fair." complained Aisha as Jim just
marched on attempting to ignore Aisha's ranting.

Meanwhile close by two figures watched from the shadows.

"Hey, how about him" said one

"Yeah...yeah good eye Growler" said the other

"But what about the Ctarl Ctarl bitch Joey" said Growler

"Don't worry there is only one of em" said Joey "You take her I'll grab the
kid and then we'll kill her."

"Alright, sounds good lets go" responded Growler

Aisha continued her ranting as she turned a corner heading to the diner.
However she was so busy complaining she did not have enough time to react when a
large man came up behind her and wrapped his giganic arms around her and lifted her
off the ground.

Aisha let out a high yelp by instict and Jim quickly turned and saw the
situation. Jim then pulled a small gun from his jacket and pointed it had the
giant's head. "I don't know who you are and I frankly don't care. Now put my freind
down."

"Okay, but first you get to take a little nap" said another man from
behind Jim. The man then sprayed a strange green mist in Jim's face and Jim fell
like a stone and was out cold. The man then picked up Jim and through him over
his sholder putting Jim's gun in his jacket pocket.

"Put him down you bastard!" yelled Aisha

"Fuck you" said the man with Jim

Aisha then wiggled her way down to her captors arm and bit down hard. Her
large fangs peiced the skin, a meatal sheeth, and then a red wire. The electric
shock that followed was incredeble. Aisha's screamed in pain as thosands of
volt coursed through her. When the shock stopped, her body fell to the ground like
rag doll.

The large man then said "Holy shit! My arm look what she did to my arm."
he said as he looked at his right arm now haiging limp at his side.

"Relax Growler we got what we came for we will get it fixed after we are
finished with this" said the other man pointing to Jim who was slug over his sholder.

Growler then looked at Aisha and said "What about her?"

"She's toast, she just saved us the trouble of killing her ourselves."
laughed the other man. The pair then walked out of the alley leaving Aisha for
death.

Aisha then stammered to her feet and leaned up against the wall and said
"Jim, oh Jim no. I have to get Gene and the others" Aisha then began to drag her
severly burt and injured body twoards the diner.
