A/N: This scene was cut out of the Cartoon Network version. It continues the scene of Melfina falling asleep on Gene's shoulder....and then Gene tries to sneak his hand up her nightgown, and Jim stops him by hitting him on the head with a pot. The rest is continued in this. Gene thinks about Jim and Melfina.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pot clattered onto his cherry colored hair, a loud bang, that surprisingly didn't wake up Melfina. Jim stood there, in his pink shirt and blue pants, looking at Gene with disgust.
"What are you doing, you sleazeball?!"
The pain in his head throbbed, as he took his hand from Melfina's leg.
"I-i...just thought I'd see how human she really was!" The outlaw grinned at his younger partner, trying to forget the pain in his head. Jim shoved him aside, and crawled into the couch with Melfina.
"She's more human than you!! She's like...my...mom."
He collected himself off of the couch, looking at Melfina and Jim. Mel's arm was around him, and he was laying beside her, now asleep.
"A mom? He's still thinking about his parents?"
He left the room, leaving Jim in Melfina's arms.
"...She does look like his mom. Bit different hair, and she's a lot shorter and younger than she was. Eyes are different colors too..."
Gene leaned over the railing, watching them sleep, while in thought.
"Melfina? Jim's mom..? Its ludicrous to think about that...Melfina doesn't know anything about herself and this world, and Jim's the little worrywart...but he's quite a genius. Genius James..."
He chuckled, remembering the name that Jim had suggested for the Outlaw Star.
"He doesn't deserve to grow up without parents, although it seems as if he's grown up already. Unlike me of course. Heh..I guess she is more human than I am. Here I am trying to take advantage of her..and he stopped me. He's more grown up than I am. Keeps reminding me not to mess up...and backs me up 100%. Jim's done a lot I guess.."
He returned to his bed, and covered himself, watching Jim and Melfina sleep.
"There sleeps the two most important people in my life...."
