Disclaimer: I do not own Outlaw Star or any of its characters. I hope everyone is enjoying this story as much as I am enjoying writing it. It's quite fun, and I've even thought about maybe a sequel if anyone wants one.
"Wake up Gene!" Jim shouted shaking his partner.
"Alright, alright, I'm up," Gene moaned getting up and rubbing his head.
"You're still thinking about "her"," Jim said putting his hands on his hips.
"So what is it to you if I am?" Gene smiled warmly at the thought of the beautiful young lady.
"Get back to reality Gene!" Jim sighed, "I can't have you daydreaming on the job, besides you don't even know WHO she is and if she loves you back!"
"So?" Gene knew he was irritating his younger partner, "I have a feeling she loves me too."
"A feeling?!" Jim seemed confused, "how do you know that?"
"I just do," Gene said, the statement was terse and left Jim still perplexed. Gene Starwind jumped out of bed and prepared himself for another rigorous day of work.
Melfina walked out slowly to meet the ambassador with Aisha in front of her. The ambassador seemed in a much better mood than he had the night before. He leaned over and gently kissed her gloved hand.
"I'm sorry, last night I was a bit tense," he said yet there was still ice in his voice.
"About the wedding," Melfina began to talk.
"Oh yes, you are to leave in a week to go meet Prince Harry, your wedding is planned for the week after that. Everyone is so happy to have the two kingdoms of Centari and Geusha united. This way, the Conqueror Hazanko will not stand a chance!" the ambassador exclaimed. Melfina's heart only fell; she was to be wed sooner than she thought. "Prince Harry is very anxious to see you," the ambassador continued.
"But I'm not anxious to see him!" Melfina wanted to shout but she kept her mouth shut for the sake of keeping peace. Aisha could sense the look of distaste on her princess's face.
"Well, Ambassador, the princess needs to have breakfast, so I guess you two will talk later," Aisha replied escorting Melfina away from the ambassador. As soon as they had put enough distance between themselves and the ambassador Melfina burst into tears.
"Why Princess," Aisha's eyes filled with worry, "what's wrong Melfina?"
"I can't marry Harry!" Melfina declared in between sobs, "I cannot marry a man I do NOT love." Aisha sighed; she had yet to know what it meant to love someone. She gently patted Melfina on the back reassuringly. "Aisha, I met another," Melfina whispered, "he has the most beautiful flaming red hair, muscular arms, loving eyes."
"What's his name?" Aisha asked filled with interest.
Melfina paused for a moment, what was it the customer had called him? What was that name that she her heart beat out, oh yes it was Gene, Gene Starwind. "His name is Gene Starwind," Melfina answered. Yes, Starwind, like the dazzling stars above. She had yearned greatly to one-day sit under those stars with him at his side holding her in his strong safe arms. Wind, like a gentle zephyr that would blow through his fiery red hair as they gazed up at the stars together.
"Gene? Eh?" Aisha smiled, "does he know that you are a princess?"
"He doesn't even know I exist," Melfina sighed. She had never gotten the chance nor had the bravery to walk up to him and declare to him that she loved him. And that fact itself tore her apart.
Aisha sighed for her friend's despair, "Come on Mel, let's go eat something, everything will be just fine." Melfina nodded following her friend into the royal kitchen. There was always an abundance of delectable cuisines in the royal kitchen but somehow; today Melfina did not have the heart to eat. Aisha hungrily dug into the mounds of breakfast pastries and donuts galore, but Melfina just sat down and sipped some orange juice out of a golden goblet. After a few minutes Melfina stood up and walked into her bedchambers. It saddened Aisha that she couldn't do anything to help one of her closest friends- but then again perhaps she could. She smiled a cat like smile to herself and walked off; she would not stand around and watch Melfina suffer.
Hazanko reclined in his chair waiting for a transmission from his army; he stared at the hourglass he had set up, the sand was almost gone. Just as the last grain of sand passed through, a transmission was sent to him from his commander.
Hazanko frowned, "What happened?"
The commander smiled slyly, "I'm sorry if we worried you, the army of Nataliana was decimated easily, and the kingdom is now ours. Just one question, what shall we do with the king?"
Hanzanko smiled in a most malignant manner, "Why, kill him of course!"
The commander saluted, "Yes sir!"
Harry had been rather anxious the past few days and it worried Ron that perhaps Princess Melfina would be too much of a distraction for Harry if Hazanko reached their kingdom. Perhaps he was underestimating the king though, if Harry felt that Melfina might be threatened, he would probably take a stance and crust Hazanko.
"There's no reason to be worried," thought Ron pacing back and forth in the ballroom, "no reason at all."
A figure draped in robes concealing their face surreptitiously left the palace of Melfina at noon that day with a very special purpose in mind. The figure walked into the city and soon was hidden from view by the crowds of people roaming around.
