Alter Ego

They say she looks just like me, but I think she's only more beautiful. That pink hair, those ruby eyes...Those tasy lips, long, sleder legs...

Umi and Fuu would be surprised if they knew what I was thinking. I, the innocent Magic Knight of Cephiro, thinking dirty thoguhts. But I don't care.

I allow Nova to kiss me, tears in both of our eyes. I will never see her again. She will once again be only the dark part of my heart. Oh, Nova, do you have to go?!

I collapse onto the floor as Umi and Fuu rush to my aid. But I don't want their help. They can't hepl, anyway. They don't even understand!

Then I hear Nova's voice...But where's it coming from?

I look around, but she tells me she's in my head.

Nova-chan, I need you! Can't you come back as a separate person?

No, Karu-chan. We're one in the same, no one can change that.

But Nova! It's so unfair! I love you!

And I you, Karu-chan. But our love....Our love can never be.

Nova....

Hikaru....

You'll still talk to me everyday, right?

I won't leave your side!

So then we'll be together forever?

Of course....But not as lovers.

What?

I want you to pursue Lantis...Or Eagle.

NO! I won't, Nova-chan! I only want you!

I can't hear her voice anymore. She won't talk to me, she has blocked me out. I sob as I realize that I'm alone, with no one to love me. She is the only person I want, need, and now she is gone...She is me, once again.

All Alter Egos must someday come to an end, I just wish that Nova could have been an exception.
