A Diamond in the Rough

AN: I'm including my friend Melissa in my fic! Hope you enjoy!!

Blue Heaven in the morning was always dark and dim like at night; the weather never changed and it was always like it was made. That was one of the good things about space, it was always right. Melfina woke up to the smell of food; her stomach growled fiercely.

"Guess I should eat!" she hopped out of bed and stretched her arms out; she scratched her thin and slender abs and slowly walked down stairs. She looked down the hallway to see Harry cooking! She laughed loud enough for him to hear. He looked up and smiled.

"Hello sunshine how was your sleep?" she giggled.

"It was good, but I had no idea you were gay!" Harry shook his head.

"Most of the universe's famous cooks were guys and were all happily married to women; watch out for stereotypes, Mel." Mel shrugged and found a seat at the table. After a while, Harry set a plate in front of Melfina; it contained bacon, eggs, and a tortilla. She looked at it with starry eyes.

"I'm famished!" she took her two chopsticks and dug in. Harry looked at her in amazement, his jaw dropped until she finally stopped.

"Okay! I'm done!" Harry sat down.

"Alright…so where will you be going?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what ship will you be leaving on and what parts of the galaxy will you venture into?" Melfina nodded.

"Number one, we will be leaving on my new ship The Love…" Harry cut her off.

"We? Why do I have to go?"

"I could use another hand in the ship and someone else to talk to." Harry sighed.

"Alright…what else?" Melfina continued.

"Number two; I don't know where we'll be going!" Harry did an anime fall. He stood back up.

"When do we leave?" Melfina put her finger on her chin.

"Hmm…………well…I guess in a couple of hours!" Harry nodded.

"I'll go get ready, why don't you go and look around town." Melfina smiled and hopped out of her chair; she ran out the door waving good bye as she did. Harry said to himself.

"She's changed so much…Starwind…you've given her the right love…"

*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*

"Wow…this place can be sooo cool!!" Melfina said as she ran around looking at everything there was; she smiled and greeted everyone that passed her. Finally, she found a flower shop. She decided to look in. As she walked in, the Japanese owner smiled and greeted her. Melfina began touching all of the beautiful that she felt very fond of; as she looked someone else entered the store. The someone came up from behind her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"That flower is called a rose." Melfina looked at the person. She had long blonde hair tied up in a big ponytail with blue streaks. She wore a long, red, leather jacket and a black tube top under it. She also had a black mini-skirt and knee-high boots. She was pale and had a gun in her jacket pocket Melfina noticed.

"I knew that…are you a flower lover like me?" the woman nodded.

"Well yes, I always found them harmonious…how about you?"

"Same…"

"Great minds think alike." The woman held out her hand to Melfina.

"I'm Melissa Comet; what is yours?" Melfina put her hand into Melissa's.

"Melfina…Melfina Starwind." Melissa gasped. She pulled out a gun.

"There's a bounty on you, you know! 25,000,000,000 Wong to be exact!" Melfina gasped.

"What are you talking about!? I haven't done anything wrong!" Melissa put the gun to Melfina's head.

"Don't you bullshit me! Threatening a whole bar with a genuine caster is a serious offense and I'm going to be the one who takes you in!" Melfina dashed out of the flower shop; Melissa ran out after her. Melfina began running as fast as she could, then she caught sight of Harry.

"Harry, help me!" Harry saw Melissa and pulled out another gun; he pointed in Melissa's direction. She dodged the flying bullets and screamed.

"Stop you two!" Harry and Melfina made a break for the dock; Melissa got off of her knees and ran after them. After a couple of minutes of cat and mouse, Melfina could finally see the ship. Melfina shouted to Harry.

"That's the ship!" Harry sweat dropped.

"That's the ship…? What's with the heart?" Melfina ignored him and yelled to Kiki.

"Kiki open up the hatch!" Kiki did so; Harry and Melfina ran aboard. Kiki didn't close the hatch in time, so Melissa was able to get aboard as well. She caught up to Melfina and ordered.

"You two get off the ship! I'm ordering you nicely, so that I won't have to hurt you." Melfina smacked her handoff her forehead.

"Let me explain! Okay?" Melissa folded her arms.

"Try me." Melfina coughed.

"I accidentally bumped into a guy; after I said I was sorry, I started walking away, but then he started following me. I was desperately trying to get away so I started running into buildings, and out of all the buildings to pick, I picked a strip joint to run in! I know it's stupid, but I didn't read any signs either. When I walked inside, guys began staring at me and pretty soon they were trying to strip me. So I did the only thing any woman would do…I came to my defense. I pulled out my gun and aimed at all the men. I told them to back off and walked out of the joint. Is that enough explaining?" Melissa looked dumbfounded.

"Yeah…sorry to bother you…" she began walking off the ramp to the ship. Melfina took hold of her arm.

"Hey…we could use someone like you…I noticed how fast and thorough you are! You have some great skills, want to join the crew?" Melissa was hesitant for a moment then nodded her head.

"Great, let's get ready for departure!" Melfina hopped into the cockpit, Harry found his spot right in front of her and Melissa took the right side. Melfina began a check.

"Harry, what are the fuel levels?" Harry checked with one of the windows.

"It's full." Melfina nodded.

"Melissa, is there any damage?"

"None, captain!"

"Alright then, let's get outta here!" Harry and Melissa said in unison.

"Let's go!"
