A/N: I've re-read this fic over and over, its way too short, no? Anyway, I'll try to make this part a lot longer.

"Hanmyo...I want you to come to the ship with me. Please?" He took both her hands in his own, watching as she flushed a light pinkish color.
"Ship...? Jim...I can't...I don't know..."
"Oh come on! I'm sure Gene will--"
She cut him off, surprised.
"Gene....? Ge-Gene Starwind?!"
"Well...yeah. Why?"
"Jim. I can't...There's no way I can face him again."
"Why? Oh...Gene's a nice guy, I'm sure he'll forgive you.."
"Jim, would you forgive someone who tried to kill you!?"
"Well...uh....Listen Hanmyo...it'll work out. I'll explain to him who you are. After all, who can resist my face? Hm?" He grinned, looking at her.
"You're not that cute..."
"Aw come'on...I'm trying to cheer ya up. I know Gene! He won't say no, I promise." The mechanical genius winked at her, smiling.
"I'll go with you. But you have to promise me something. Don't tell him who I am. Please Jim. He can't find out." Thoughts ran through her head as she looked at Jim sorrowfully.
"He'll find out sooner or later. But I swear, I won't tell him. All right?"
"Fine..."
He helped her stand, taking her hand in his, leading her to the Outlaw Star.
"Jim?"
"Yeah Hanmyo?"
"Thanks. This is really nice of you. You've given me so much..All I've given you is trouble."
"You have no idea..."
"What is it..?"
"Hanmyo...I have a confession to make..."
"Huh?" She blinked, looking at him curiously.
"I...I ..helped...try and destroy.......you..." He mumbled, his voice almost inaudible.
"...I already know Jim. But like I said before, it was fate. You and I...we are bound by it. Even if its disrupted, we are always meant to be together. You understand, don't you?"
"No. But I'll sure try...Hanmyo..."
"Ok, enough with the seriousness. Lets focus on the brighter side of things, hm?"
"Whatever you say." He released her hand, putting his arms up on the back of his head.
"Gene...is he a nice person?"
"Gene? I guess he's alright...but lazy as heck."
"Really?"
"Yep. Well..thats how I found you the first time. Gene had me working overtime while he and his latest girlfriend went out..."
"That wasn't very kind of him.."
"Nah...but its alright. He's pretty cool, once ya get used to having him spend your money that you worked hard to make..."
"He sounds like a cat. Like a gaurdian that does nothing but complain, and they're useless basically. But they make nice companions, and they stick by your side..."
"You know? I never thought of it that way. I guess he does sorta resemble a house pet. Aisha too. Then of course, she is sorta a cross between a feline and a human." He laughed a bit, putting his hands down.
"Nnn...A Ctarl-Ctarl?" She blinked, amused.
"Yep, you guessed it. She scares me, kinda. She's kind of like my older sister I never had." He looked down at the floor. "She's like a family to me."
"Thats nice...Jim. I'd love to meet her."
"Oh, I'm sure she'll like you! She likes everyone...except Gene maybe. She keeps making comments to all of us like we're all Ctarl-Ctarl, and points out all our weak points. So unless you're superwoman or something, its not like you're going to escape her." He smiled.
"Ah..."
"Anyway, thats it right there. In Dock #9."
"It seems bigger than before..."
"Nah, just the dock. And the color really makes it stand out."
"Yeah, it was the same with my ship."
"Anyway, why don't we go aboard? I'd like for you to meet everyone..."
"Sure." She smiled. "Jim. Thank you. I know I told you already, but you're really kind to do this for me."
"Ah, don't mention it." He grinned out of embarrassment.
