Disclaimer: I do not own Outlaw Star (but I think I'd like it if I did.) Ok, Here's another chapter! Please R and R!


The hooded figure continued to roam through the city searching for something, or in particular a certain someone. Finally a sign caught the figures attention, it flashed "Starwind and Hawking". Yes, Starwind, that was the name, the hooded figure was sure of it. The hooded figure took off her hood to reveal a cat like face with white hair. "I'm gonna talk to this Gene guy," she thought, "and find out if he feels for Melfina what she feels for him." Aisha cautiously entered the place and looked around, at the same time listening for anything suspicious.

"Hi! Welcome to Starwind and Hawking enterprises, how may I help you?" a childish voice asked. Aisha looked left and right but could not see the speaker.

Jim felt sweat develop on his forehead, "I'm down here."

"Oh! I did not see you!" Aisha declared with her kitty like accent, "Are you Gene Starwind?" Secretly, Aisha wished he wasn't for it would be rather embarrassing for her princess to be in love with such small fry.

"No, Gene went back to sleep," Jim moaned, he remembered how hard it was to wake him up in the first place, now he'd have to do it again.

"So if you aren't Gene, who are you?" Aisha asked curiosity getting the best of her.

"My name is Jim," he held out his hand and Aisha shook it. Jim smiled, "Is there something you need repaired?"

"Hmmm…," Aisha thought, "yes, I need to repair Melfina's broken heart." "Er, no," Aisha answered Jim, "I just kind of need to talk to Gene Starwind."

"Oh, ok," Jim skipped away to wake up his dozing partner. "I've never met anyone like her," he thought as he opened the door to Gene's room. Sure enough, he lay in bed snoring without a care in the world. Jim carefully picked up the glass of water sitting next to his bed and poured it all over Gene's face.

Gene jolted up from bed declaring, "What was that for?!"

"That's for sleeping on the job," Jim chuckled, "now there's someone to see you."

"Girl or Guy?" Gene asked.

"Girl," Jim knew his partner well, he'd get ready quickly for a girl.

"Ahhh, must be one of my many admirers!" Gene exclaimed rather seriously.

"Yeah, Gene, that's just it," Jim sighed, "now hurry up and make yourself look more presentable." Gene got up and brushed his flaming red hair, then quickly washed his face. He casually strolled out to meet this visitor of his.



Hazanko was very pleased, for his plans were being executed perfectly. He picked up a many faceted die, which had a name of one of the planet's main kingdoms on each side. "Let's allow luck to decide which will fall next," he snickered dropping the die. It bounced around a bit and finally stopped. The name of the kingdom on the top was "Centari". "Ah, Centari," Hazanko smiled, "if I recall correctly that would be the home of Princess Melfina."



Melfina lay on her bed trying with all her heart to hold back the tears that were daring to flow from her eyes. Marriage to a man she did not love and she only had a week to get used to her doomed fate! She knew self-pity would not help her situation in any way, but at that moment she had no idea what else she could do. "Perhaps I should run away," she thought, but in her heart she knew that they would send search party after search party after her and that her efforts would only be in vain. She tried to relax herself, perhaps this Harry would not be bad after all, but then again what was the use of lying to herself? She had known the first time she set eyes upon Gene Starwind that it would be impossible for her to love any other. "Oh, curse my horrible luck," she thought, "why did I have to meet you Gene? Why? Now I'm a prisoner of my own love." She sighed and buried her head into the pillow and let the tears flow out.



Harry stood in front of the mirror summing up his looks. "My dear and beautiful princess Melfina will soon be here!" he thought. He had pictures of her in his room and was excited that he would finally meet her in person. He was positive it would be love at first sight, though he already loved her regardless of the fact they had never met. Ron entered the room with a very worried look on his face.

"Hazanko's army is on the move again, they've already crushed the kingdom of Nataliana," Ron announced.

"Where are they headed now?" Ron asked, though he really did not want to know.

"Melfina's kingdom," Ron declared.

Fire burned in Harry's eyes, "We'll just see about that!"
