Chapter 4: Happy Ending….Maybe
They sat there on that field for hours. The night came and they stared up at the stars observing the moons and planets laid out before them.
"Everything look's so beautiful tonight. It's like nothing I have ever seen." Melfina said as she laid down in the grass.
"Hey Mel it's gettin kinda late. I think we should head back home." Gene said as he took her hand.
"Oh alright. But it's just so nice out." Melfina got up hesitantly and held Gene's hand.
"By the way Gene, I'm glad that you feel the same way about me as I feel about you. Now we can finally be together, like were supposed to be." Melfina said as she smiled.
"Yea I'm happy too. But Mel what about those messages about the Leyline? You have to go. I don't want anything to ruin what we have now."
"I don't know what to do Gene. This just might be a trick and somebody could be after me, but I want you to be safe in case this isn't a joke. Everything is so hard for me now. Oh Gene, I don't know what to do." Melfina said as she began to cry.
Gene held her in his arms and said, "Don't worry Mel everything will be ok. I'll make sure of it."

"I wonder where Gene is?" Jim said as he looked at the clock. "It's almost 10 o'clock. I guess he didn't find Melfina. I hope everything is ok."
Jim went into his room and put on his pajamas. "Well if he isn't back by morning, then I will start to worry."

"This food is delicious!!! I can't wait until the new place down the block opens!! Then I can try their food!" Aisha said as she gobbled down her food.
Then suddenly the door opened and there was Melfina and Gene hand in hand at the doorway.
"Aisha! What the hell?! You haven't been home at all! You have to come home eventually. The food can't be that great here." Gene said as he sat next to Aisha.
"Well I think the food is great so you can kiss my ass. Ok?" Aisha said as she smiled widely.
After about three seconds Aisha continued eating but then stopped.
She grabbed her stomach and said, "You guys…I think I ate too much."
She ran towards the bathroom while knocking people over as she passed by. Gene and Melfina laughed as she stumbled over people on her way.
"Poor Aisha, I hope she feels better." Melfina said as she giggled to herself.
"Yea well, she knows better than to do that. She deserves it." Gene said as he laughed.
Melfina looked at Gene and said, "That's not very nice, but she would probably wish the same for you so I guess it doesn't matter."
Gene looked at Melfina and asked, "Would you like to get something to eat while we are here? They are open until midnight. We still have a few minutes."
"Ok sure."
"What would you like?"
"I dunno. Pick something for me."
"I don't know what you like."
"Yes you do."
"Umm no I don't think I do."
"Well I think you do or you should anyway. I have my finger pointed at what I want on the menu."
"Well then why did you ask me?"
"I wanted to see how dumb you really are."
"Hey! Mel I don't make fun of you."
"Yea but you would if you had the opportunity."
"True but still."
"Ill be right back. I have to use the bathroom. Order for me ok?"
"Yea sure."
Melfina walked away and Gene was left to himself.
Suddenly Gene was grabbed by the throat and a mysterious voice said, "Bring Melfina to the Galactic Leyline or this will be the last time you will be able to breath with out choking on your blood first."
Gene was let go and he quickly turned around but saw no one.
Melfina ran over and yelled, "Gene! What happened!? Who was that!?"
"I don't know but I think you better go to the Galactic Leyline. This is becoming a serious problem."
They sat there on that field for hours. The night came and they stared up at the stars observing the moons and planets laid out before them.
