Hey minna!
I know. It's been a while since I've written new Outlaw Star fanfic. Heh, I've been trying to get my juices flowing. I've worked on some new Ranma 1/2 stuff and Sailor Moon fanfics as well. I've finally got the inspiration to write a new Outlaw Star fic! ^^ YAY!!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Outlaw Star or its characters. I am merely borrowing them…^^ TAKE THAT YOU LAWYERS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Rated R for language and violence. Maybe some sexual situations if I get enough reviews. ^^
Enjoy!

Now and Forever, Part Five:
Finding the Dream
By Batdz Angel (\0/)
"Melfina, it appears a ship is heading straight for us."
Melfina grunted and said, "Contact them. I want to know who it is."
"Yes ma'am."
She watched as the calling screen flickered to life and a familiar man with gold eyes and ebony hair smirked at her. He wore a red jacket and to most women, was a dream.
Melfina wasn't most women.
"Ron McDougall."
Said as a curse.
The eldest McDougall chuckled and said, "I see Harry wasn't joking when he said you had changed. Hello Melfina." "What the hell do you want?" she asked sharply, glaring at him in annoyance. "Your husband's death but I got that all ready," he answered flippantly. "So I'll settle for yours."
"Hate to break to you," she answered calmly. "But I don't intend on dying soon. If I did, it wouldn't be at your hands, you piece of shit." "And she speaks as he did!" Ron clapped his hands together, amusement written in his eyes. "Has it occurred to you that you are the spitting image of Hilda? You're 'mother' in a sense? How touching…" His lips curled into a sneerful smile. "But I think I shall end the Starwind line here."
"What makes you think I'm interested in how you believe I am?" Melfina challenged enjoying the way he glared at her in anger. "I am not the fearful girl you terrorized Ron. I'm a different Melfina. That Melfina you knew died when Gene did. Remember that." "I know, I know," Ron flapped a hand at her. "I wonder-" here his eyes narrowed. "If you scream in bed Melfina? Would you want me to find out?"
Melfina's fingers had been working during the entire conversation, typing the coordinates of the Shangri-La, aiming the missiles in its direction. She smiled sweetly and said, "You'll never have the privilege of knowing Ron. I don't have sex with men that make my skin crawl." He growled and snarled, "Die."
"Bye-bye," she answered and pressed the red button.
The Outlaw Star zoomed away from the explosion.

It was carelessness, she theorized later as she stared down the length of the knife Harry McDougall held in front of her face. Carelessness that had taken over her senses, muddling them and allowing the male android to knock her out and take her to an abandoned warehouse.
If she died now, what would be the difference?
She would have died at his hands.
Irony was a bitch.
She sat up and watched as Harry paced the room, knife at his side, mumbling incoherently to himself. "Is there a reason for kidnapping me?" she asked dryly, raising an eyebrow at him. "Or are you just having a bad day?" "Shut up!" he snapped pointing his knife at her. "I'm mad at you Melfina. Really mad. You killed my brother."
"Excuse me while I shed tears," was the flat reply. "He was cantankerous bastard with no balls. He didn't deserve any pity from me. It's payment from when he made my life hell. Any questions?" "I said shut up!" Harry snarled lunging towards her.
She remembered how when he had first struck her all those years ago, she had fallen like a sack of potatoes. This time, she parried his fist, and socked him squarely in the jaw, causing him to stagger back.
Harry rubbed his jaw and stared at the woman, the realization that she was not who she had been finally dawning on his brain.
Well, he would at least have some fun.
He struck her again, using his android strength to straddle her and rip her clothing off.
She was dry as a bone but that would be fixed.
Melfina felt nothing but disgust and revulsion as Harry fondled her and glanced to the side, a wicked smile crossing her features at the knife gleaming on the stand. Slipping deft fingers, she waited as Harry slid himself into her center and began to pump away.
She slammed the knife into his back, watching with flat eyes as he screamed, back arched, eyes meet hers in horrified understanding. She rolled him off her and picked up her clothing as he whimpered the pain spreading throughout his body.
"Is that enough?" she asked innocently. "You always wanted me Harry. Now that you've had me, what do you think?" Harry hissed as she twisted the knife deeper into his back, blood spilling over his naked back. "I don't think you understand Harry," Melfina continued kneeling so that she was whispering in his ear. "I belong to Gene. And only Gene. You were never in the running."
"Bitch." Harry spat.
She killed him.

"Oh my goodness! Melfina what happened to you?"
She shook her head at the pink can that stared at her with wide eyes and said, "I'm fine Gilliam. Turn on the showers for me will you?" "Of course!" the can answered before disappearing down the hall. Melfina limped to her bedroom and entered the bathroom, dumping her clothes and calling to Gilliam.
"Yes Melfina?"
"Burn those clothes for me."
"Of course Melfina."
She scrubbed at her body until she was pink and washed her hair until her fingers grew numb. Wrapping herself in a huge towel, Melfina dressed in a black jumpsuit that showed off her curves and threw a blue Chinese-style shirt over the jumpsuit. Throwing on her black combat boots, she went to the cockpit and sat down in the pilot's seat.
Silence reigned for a few minutes before she spoke.
"Gilliam?"
"Yes?"
"Is there any way of shutting me down?"
Silence then-
"I can search of one way Melfina. But it will take time."
"As soon as possible Gilliam. Please."
"Only for you Melfina. Only for you."
She had found her dream.
All she had to do was hold onto it.
