Gene: To hurry this up I'm just going to say Heather does not own Outlaw Star now on with the fic.

Aisha: That's cheating.

Gene: But I want to know what's going to happen!!

Jim: Here's the fic.



Melfina ran through the ship, hiding at any sound. She had to find an escape ship and find the XGP. She jumped when an alarm went off and a voice screamed out, "WARNING! WARNING! ENEMY SHIP APPROACHING! WARNING..." She let out a breath. "That should keep them busy." The long winding corridor that she was on had no doors. The biege floors made it look like it was a desert. Reaching the end she found a door. Carefully opening the door Mel saw a small aircraft. A voice rang out over a speaker, "Dammit! It's the XGP! Harry, find Melfina before she escapes!!" "Gene!" Running to the ship she started to cry. Her legs were becoming extremely weak and she didn't feel like she could move her arms but she kept running. Gene had come after her. "Melfina! No!" Harry ran into the room as Melfina started the ship and opened the hatch. Harry grabbed onto the ship and using his arm, opened a hatch. He hurriedly slipped into the ship as Melfina left the hanger.

"Gene, we have a message." Gilliam's patient voice entered Gene's thoughts. "Show it." An image came up over the console. "Gene! It's me, Melfina! Open the hanger, please!" Melfina's image looked dangerously gorgeous. Her eyes were shining from her tears. Her perfect complextion was rosy from her run. Her hair was unruly and stringy. The look of relief on her face and her proud smile made her irrestible. "Right away Mel." Opening the hanger and then jumping out of his seat he raced to go meet her. Suzuka, Aisha, and Jim sat there smiling at each other. A blast to the ship knocked them out of their world and the three got to work of destroying the Eldorado.

The door opened and Melfina saw Gene standing there smiling. They ran towards each other as soon as their eyes met. Before either one of them could think their lips were joined. Their desperation which had built up over the time Mel was missing was poured out into the kiss. Melfina softly moaned before wrapping her arms tightly around him and breaking the kiss to bury her head in his chest. Gene stood there shocked, then shaking out of it he looked down at the tiny woman currently crying into him. Stroking her hair and back he calmed her down. Taking his finger to lift her chin he looked down into her eyes. "I missed you Mel." "Oh Gene," Melfina cried and clung to him again. "I thought I would never see you again.You were right, I am human. Would a machine love you anymore than I do?" *She loves me?* Gene's eyes became wide and he stiffened. *Do I love her? Has that been what's bugging me? I gotta think about that later. Now to get her safe inside.* Without saying a word Gene lifted Melfina into his arms. A spot of red caught the corner of his eye. "Melfina! Your wrists!" The blood had stained the length of her arm and her wrists had ragged scars. Her clothes were splattered with red and the collar had tear stains. "Oh Mel, what did they do to you. My precious angel." *He didn't say he loved me back...Maybe I shouldn't have said that. I know he cares for me but he's never said he loved me. How could I do this. He's so kind...We kissed... But, did it mean anything?*

Harry's face twisted with fury. "I'm going to kill him for kissing my Melfina. My beautiful beautiful Melfina."

Heather: TO BE CONTINUED!! hehehehe

Melfina: You've got to stop teasing everyone.

Heather: I'll finish the story soon, just a few more twists and chapters. I have a 5 day weekend to work on it.
