DISCLIAMER: The characters of Dark Angel don't belong to me.
It was new years night and Max and Alec had the best view in the city. From the needle they could see all the fireworks, to welcome the New Year. They brought themselves a bottle of cheap wine and some glasses. Max set her pager to count down the time.
" So what is your resolution?" Max asked Alec.
He thought about it, he wanted to be honest for the next year. But he didn't want to tell her that. " To make as much money as possible."
She figured it would have something to do with money. " Why aren't I surprise?"
" Because you expected that. What's your resolution?"
" Emotional mobility."
Wow, suddenly he felt like he should have been honest when he asked her. " Good idea."
She looked at her time. " Two more minutes." She took him. " Let's say a pray. OC does it every year."
He wasn't really the one for preying but it couldn't hurt. " Okay. Start."
She didn't know where to start but she knew she had to start somewhere. " Ok, thanks for keeping us alive and we hope you continue to in the next year. Amen."
Alec laughed. " You should consider this as a profession."
" Shut up. It's better than nothing."
" I guess." Even thought it was short it was a good prey. Considering almost the whole human race wanted to see their head on a stick they were lucky to be alive. He sure hoped they would be able to do it again next year.
Max locked at the time. " Seven more seconds."
" Six, five, four, three, two, one." They counted together. " Happy New Year."
Alec opened the bottle of champagne. And poured it out. He gave Max a glass. " To the new year." They drank to that.
" For cheap wine this taste kind of good."
" Yeah, sure beats spending a grand on a bottle of champagne."
They sat there and watched fire works for what seemed to be an hour. " So have you broken your resolution yet?"
" No not really."
" I broke mine," Max pointed out. She was tired of having feelings and not doing anything about it. She wanted to act on them.
" Already huh. I haven't been given the opportunity to break mine."
" You're always trying to make money so the chances of you breaking yours are slim to none."
Now she gave him the opportunity. " My real resolution was to be honest."
" Honest, about what."
" About my feelings, I guess."
She sipped on her wine and looked over to him. " What feelings."
He sighed. This thing was already becoming too difficult. " The ones I have hard time talk about."
" You mean how you feel about people."
He nodded, " People in my past." She turned her gaze from him. He took her hand. " Present, and hopefully future."
She looked down at his hand in hers and then to his eyes. She felt weak. "How do you feel about people in the present."
" I feel all kinds of things. Sometimes I feel weak, sometimes I feel afraid. Sometimes I feel angry but mostly I feel happy to have them around."
It was so amazing how he just described the way she was feeling. She moved closer to him. " I'm on my second try, so I'm going to do it right." She leaned forward and kissed him lightly on his lips. She started into his eyes and lost herself in them. She wanted this for so long, she had to take the opportunity and run with it. She kissed him again and this time he kissed her back a soft passionate kiss. " So I kept it now."
" Yeah me too. Who ever said it didn't make sense making one."
They laughed and looked at the sky that was continuously pursing into spectacular light shows. They didn't know where they would be in the future but they knew they would be together.
NOTE: I'm so sorry 'bout all the errors in the first story. I fixed it. And this one was not really good. I wrote it at two o' clock in the morning. I was working on another one but that turned out to be a dead end story.
