Tohmas: Hey Gene! Good morning! Feeling ok?

Gene: Yeah Tohmas, I'm fine. *Sits down at his desk and puls out a picture wallet unfolding all the pictures*

*A 16 year old Jim is being chased by the Galetical Force Society*

Raimen: Get him! *Runs after Jim with a big gun*

*Raimen's men follow, shooting crazely*

Jim: *Runs to an apple sale, jumping on the bouncy blankets that shelter the fruit. Jumps high landing on a building, running fast jumping across short-length buildings. Ends up on the roof of the Space Port*

Annoucer: There seems to be somebody on the roof! I repeat, there seems to be somebody on the roof! All battle stations ready and prepear the arm force securitaries just incase!

Tohmas: Gene! *Looks over to him*

Gene: Yeah, I heard! *Grinches teeth* (No one would be on the roof in just any ordinary sercumstancis...)

Tohmas: Gene where are you going!

Gene: To check things out! If anyone asks, I'm...at the vending machines or somethin'! *Runs off to the elevator*

Gene: *Steps in and hits 6th floor*

Gene: *Finally reaches the top and runs out to the roof looking around*

*Jim stands at the edge of the building looking down sadly*

Gene: Ah! Kid, get down from there!

*Two of Raimen's men come up to the 6th floor and start shooting*

Gene: Hey! *Growls*

Jim: *Jumps off the building*

Gene: Ah!!! *Jumps after him*

Gene: Are you crazy!? *Grabs a hold of him and they almost hit the ground when a space car flies by and they land on top of it*

*The space car flies off into the sky*

Gene: *Wakes up hours later to find himself in a bed with Jim next to him, still knocked out*

Gene: *Looks over to Jim confused*

Melfina: *Walks in* It's about time you've woken up... *Smiles gently*

Gene: Who are you?...Where am I? Is the kid ok?

Melfina: Aw, surely you haven't forgotten me 'that' quickly...

Gene: Forgotten you. *Looks at her hard* Melf!...No, no it couldn't be. *Looks away*

Melfina: *Smiles* Oh yes it could.

Gene: *Eyes widen* What. *Looks back towards her* What do you mean...

Melfina: It's me Gene... *Walks over and sits next to him, placing her hand on his*

Gene: Melfina...Melfina! But how! N...no! This is all a dream! *Grabs his head*

Melfina: It's not a dream. Five years ago you thought we had died, and we managed to survive...that's all. *Smiles and puts a hand on his back*

Gene: We?... *Looks to her*

Melfina: Yes, Jim.

Gene: Jim! He's alive as well! *Stands up*

Melfina: Yes, he's right next to you. *Tiny sweatdrop*

Gene: Ah! *Looks over at the long haired knocked out boy* Jim!

Gene: OH Melfina...this is like a dream come true... *Gets tears in his eyes*

Melfina: *Lets Gene sob with joy on her shoulder for a while*

Jim: *Wakes up a few hours later in a dark, empty room*

Gene: *Walks in and sits on the bed* My have you grown. *Smiles gently down to him*

Jim: What are you talking about... *Eyes half open with sleepiness*

Gene: It's me... *Whispers*

Jim: Who's you...

Melfina: *Walks in* Gene. It's Gene Jim. *Smiles*

Jim: G...Gene? *Eyes widen* Gene! *Sits up fastly, wincing*

Melfina: *Runs over to the bedside* Jim! Be careful! Your wound still hasn't recovered...

Gene: Wound? What wound?

Melfina: Jim was shot in the stomach...he'll be alright. We have many medication on this ship.

Gene: Shot!? Ship!? We're on a ship?!

Melfina: Well yes, not just any ship Gene.

Gene: *Looks confused*

Jim: We're on the Outlaw Star*

Gene: *Eyes widen*

Melfina: Stay in bed for a while Jim. *Lays him back down*

Jim: *Winces, holding his side with one hand and clentching the bed sheet covers with the other*

Gene: *Clentches his teeth*

Melfina: *Puts a hand on Gene's shoulder* Don't worry, like I said, he'll be fine. *Smiles softly*

Gene: *Puts a hand on Jim's side*

Jim: *Puts a hand over Gene's*

Gene: *Looks at Jim's small, bony hand* Wha... *Looks concerned*

Melfina: Let's go fix something to eat Gene, Jim needs his rest...

*Melfina kisses Jim's forehead and walks out with Gene, shutting the door gently*

Gene: I'm surprised you even have food!

Melfina: You noticed. I have too.

Gene: All I noticed was that the boy was only thin skin and bones!

Melfina: He hasn't been eating much these years... *Looks away sadly*
