Character: Catty. I don't really remember much of Catty's story. So I put in what I remembered and added in some things I thought would be applicable. Cute things, sweet things.
Scene: Catty is feeling lonely and wondering around the streets on a Friday night. She heads up to the desert to think when she remembers Chris.
Song: "Somewhere Out There" by Our Lady Peace. Written by Raine Maida (main vocals guy)
"It's Friday night, and I am alone." Catty thought to herself, kicking stones as she walked along a dark deserted neighborhood street. "Everyone else has a date, all except me." She sighed. "Chris, where are you?"
She looked up at the sky. "I hate living in the city!" She half cried. "You can never see the stars." Catty threw down her skateboard and hoped on. She decided to head to the desert where her "grandmother" lives. The stars are not drown by the city lights there.
She skated with a half interest as her mind wondered to the last time she saw him. Back to that fateful night when she fought with all her might in vain. The scroll was lost in time, and Chris, her Chris, was out looking for it.
Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place.
Catty's eyes burned as she fought back her tears. She remembered how she thought she had won, how the Atrox had lost. But no, the scroll still existed; and so did Chris's job. Catty's head lowered as she remembered how her heart sunk when he had told her he must leave.
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
He had told her what he needed to do with such pain in his eyes. Catty knew then, as she does now, that he wanted to be with her. "If only we had more time together!" She thought, biting her lip. After the fight, they only had a few precious hours before he had to leave.
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
Catty's heat leapt as she recalled that horrid time when he left her.
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away
"And I was left here." She thought with venom. I can't be with him. He is out there, somewhere. And I am here, in this hell-hole, where no stars shine…."
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
Catty's light animosity dripped away, telling herself that he had to go. It was his job and he will rid the world of this damn scroll.
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
Catty smiled as she thought of their first meeting. How she was instantly attracted to his skater-punk sweetie personality.
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
"I remember how I used to dream of all the wonderful things we would do together. How naïve I was!" Catty sauntered up the last hill and gave a glance over her shoulder. "Goodbye city lights." She whispered.
Skating down the forlorn hill, Catty smiled up. The stars were twinkling up above her.
I'm waiting for this sky to fall
I'm waiting for a sign
Catty reached old homestead cabin that belonged to her grandmother. The house was dark and empty, her grandmother was out…black jack night.
All we are
Is all so far
Catty looked up to the comforting constellations. The stars were her only link to Chris. No matter what time he was in or where on Earth he was, he would be able to look up at the same stars she was. A single tear slid down her face as she thought of what he was probably fighting, the danger he was in. "Is he even still…" Catty didn't want to think it; but she did, "…alive?" She swallowed hard.
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
"Even if I never see you again, I will always remember you." She promised him.
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
"I haven't seen him in so long." She thought with a grimace, "Please, Chris, remember me. I am always here for you. Just come to me."
Hope you remember me
When you're home sick
And need a change
Catty remembered with a warm, melting smile of the first time they shared a dance. She recalled every detail, down to the kiss he placed on her lips…
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
"Please come back to me." She whispered to him as if he were sitting next to her.
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails I'll wait
"Fight hard, fight strong. Don't loose faith, for I am with you. You shall prevail above evil."
I'm praying that you don't burn out
Or fade away
Catty breathed in deeply as red orange light filled her vision. A dark tunnel shone through the blinding colors. Catty covered her eyes with her arm, keeping back a scream as best she could. When the light subsided, she ventured a look at her surroundings.
Chris was standing in front of her, beaten and badly hurt…but alive.
All we are
Is all so far
Catty stepped up to him, not fighting the smile creeping onto her face. She reached out her hand and placed it gingerly on his cheek. His hand covered hers, his warmth spreading to her.
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
He stepped up to her, closing the gap between them. "I can't stay for long." He said, barely audible.
She nodded in response, not able to speak due to shock. "I had forgotten how deep his voice is." She thought. A tear rolled down her cheek. He wiped it away.
"I'm sorry," he began, "I should have--my duty is not yet fulfilled…" He began.
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
"Shh" She interrupted him. "Watch the stars with me." She led him to the bench swing on her grandmother's porch.
Catty laid her head on his chest and listened to his heart. She felt the rise and fall of his breath. "Tell me about the stars." She asked simply. She listened to Chris tell the story of the constellations that he learned from the Roman Pirates.
You're falling back to me
I can always count on you to be there for me
You're a star that I can see
We are always connected
I know you're out there
You will always come for me
Somewhere out there
No matter where you are, when you are
You're falling out of reach
Even when you leave me, I know we will meet again
Defying gravity
We will always see each other in the stars
I know you're out there
You will never leave me forever
Somewhere out there
I know you will remember me, as I remember you..,
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
I know
I know
You're falling out of reach
I know
