" Dita...Dita! "Hibiki got off from his bed, took off the bandages which
covers his wound, and headed to Dita's room through the hallway. As he
found Dita wasn't in her room, he searched for her everywhere on the ship.
He doesn't give up. He searched for her at the hangar, looked for her
Dread, but it wasn't there either. Then, he saw a girl with red hair.
Hibiki dashed towards her, and called her name. "Dita!!!"
Unfortunately, that girl was not Dita, "Hibiki-san?" the girl said, while Hibiki gasped for air and stared at the girl's face.
"You're. You're not Dita? "Hibiki asked the girl as she looks like Dita, maybe her twin sister. The girl shook her head, an answer to Hibiki that she's not Dita. He screamed in disappointment. The appearance of his beloved red-haired girl was a dream, a sweet dream. Hibiki knelt down as he cries like a crybaby. He gave a few head butts to the ground, caused his forehead bleeding. The red-haired girl watched Hibiki as she felt sorry for him. Then, Misty, Meia and Jura found Hibiki at the hangar, saw him in tears. "Hibiki..." Misty utter. She moved closer to him,
"Hibiki...forget about it...it's all over...you have to accept her death... "Misty said, while she hugs Hibiki,
"But.....I haven't got the chance to ...tell her that...I love her... "
The hangar atmosphere filled with Hibiki's sob, as the others watched him in tears, felt sorry for him...
Meanwhile, at the Bridge, Magno was informed about Hibiki's condition by Duero through her private line.
"I see...that boy still can't forget about Dita. It's very funny; I barely remember when he asked me to keep Dita away from him, "Magno said.
"What should we do?" Duero asked.
"We could throw a party to cheer him up!" Barnette budge in as another screen appeared at Magno's vision. Duero rubbed his chin, maybe it's a good idea: he thought.
"But we have them almost everyday since we defeated the Harvest." Magno said.
" Well, but not with Hibiki, "
" That's true," Duero said, as he agree with Barnett's plan.
"Ok. Crew member, listen here: we'll have another party today, and Hibiki will be our main guest. "Everyone on the ship cheers after Magno made the announcement, especially Barnette, who loves party as she could cook lots of food. Cooking is her hobby.
Few hours later, the whole ship filled with excitement as there's a party again, and it was dedicated to Hibiki. 'Get Well Soon, Hibiki-san ' banners were hung everywhere. Hibiki tried to avoid the party by hiding himself at the garden. He sat on the floor as he watched the stars shining as they floating on the space.
"Hibiki-san, "a girl called his name broke the silenced around him.
" It's you... "He replied as he smeared at the red-haired girl, who he met at the hangar.
"'You' it's not Vanessa's name, "she replied. Somehow, it reminds Hibiki the way Dita talked.
"Vanessa Minami desu, "she introduced herself to Hibiki, as she bowed, but he ignored her. Vanessa shrugged, she hates the way Hibiki treated her.
" Minami.., your name....you're from Taraaku? "
" No. I mean. I was... "
"What does that mean? ".
" I was 'developed' in a factory, at Taraaku. But when they found they've developed a woman, they threw me to the space. Luckily, the pirates collected the pod which carried me inside. "
" I see... "
" So, Hibiki-san, does Vanessa's hair looked like Dita's? "She asked as Hibiki nodded his head. While Vanessa and Hibiki had a good chat at the garden, Misty and Jura watched them behind a tree.
"Who is she?" Misty whispered as Jura took a few picture of the couples.
"One of the crew... "
" So red hair could catch Hibiki's attention," Misty thought as she rubbed her chin. While Jura continues to take a few more pictures of the couples, Misty left her as she has an idea to seduce Hibiki. She grinned widely.
Moments later, Vanessa dragged Hibiki to join the party through the hallway. Hibiki sweat dropped, as he wants to be alone.
"Leave me alone, I need to...wow..." Hibiki couldn't finish his line, as he smells something nice through the door. Vanessa smiled as she opened the door, revealed the room, filled with girls, 'Get Well Soon, Hibiki-san' banners and...Foods. Saliva's streamed down through Hibiki's opened mouth. He gulped.
"SUPRISE!" the girls said in chorus. This isn't a surprise at all. Vanessa told him when they were on their way to the party. "Ladies, our main guest is here! Everyone give him a kiss on his cheek, or more! "The party host exclaimed. Girls started to gather around Hibiki, gave him a kiss on his cheek, but Jura and Barnette kissed his lips. Hibiki's cheeks turned red as every girl on the ship kisses him.
"Uchujin-san!!" another red-haired girl joined the party, caught Hibiki's attention. His heart beats fast as he heard someone called him 'Mr. Alien'.
"Dita...?" He thought. Well, it's not her, it's Misty. She colored her hair red as she thought she could attract Hibiki. "See Hibiki, you're not alone. Everyone on this ship sad over Dita's death. We all shared the same thoughts, the same feelings. "Vanessa said, as Hibiki watched Misty dashed towards him, waited for her hug or kiss.
"Uchujin-san, Misty is here, "she said, as she hugs Hibiki, and kissed his forehead and his cheeks few times.
"Minna...arigatou..." Hibiki said, as he kneels down while tears streamed down from his eyes. The girls clapped their hands, as the party managed to drag the real Hibiki from his sorrows. "All right, I haven't eaten anything for 5 days, sorry girls; let me finish everything on the table." Hibiki exclaimed as he stood up, and feed himself the food that was cooked for him.
Few hours later, everyone is on their bed, except BC, who is still monitoring the ship. Hibiki was on his way to his room. He decided to give Dita's room a visit as he passed the room. As he entered the room, Duero and Bart were there in the room.
"Duero's right. He really gave a last visit to her room, "Bart said, as he patted Duero's back, praised his intelligence.
"What are you guys doing here, " Hibiki asked as he was curious on Bart and Duero.
"Waiting for you here in this room, "the bald man answer." Hibiki, we, too, understand how you feel. I've through it once, when my very best friend died. "He added, with a gentlemen smile on his face.
"Bart..."
"Let's go back to our room, and start a whole new day tomorrow, " Duero said, as he stood up from the chair. Hibiki nodded his head, then Duero and Bart waited outside the room as Hibiki left inside, gave the last sight of the picture that was pinned to wall for the last time tonight.
"Oyasumi...I'll visit you again tomorrow..."
Meanwhile, at the Bridge, BC was still monitoring the radar, to make sure there's no threat around the ship. He yawned. Suddenly, the radar beeps, as it detected a Dread a few miles away from the ship.
"Masaka...Dita...?" he thought...
Everyone on the ship alarmed when the radar detected a Dread ahead them. Everyone recognize that blue coloured Dread. Hibiki volunteered himself to bring back the Dread, together with Meia, Jura and other Dread team, including Parfet. As Meia's team formed a defensive line in case of enemy attack, Hibiki brought Parfet closer to the blue Dread.
" How is it? " Magno asked the engineer, Parfet while she still checking the Dread condition.
" Hmm..it's quite damaged, but the pilot inside is still alive, "
" Good, Hibiki, you know what to do, "
" That's why I'm here, "
Right after they brought the blue Dread back to the Hangar, Duero, Meia, Jura, Misty and Hibiki rushed the pilot to the Medical Room, as 'she' suffered serious injuries. Misty, Jura, Meia and Hibiki waited outside the room while Paiway and Duero try their best to save the pilot, as she is in critical condition. Hibiki, accompanied by Vanessa, prayed for the pilot of the blue Dread, hoping that she could survive.
" Please, don't die, " Hibiki thought, as Vanessa's right arm was on his shoulders. Misty couldn't hold her tears as she was too worried about the pilot. The whole ship prayed for the her, hoping that she could continue her life with them. Nobody smile, nor laugh for that moment. Hours later, Duero finally came out from the room. Hibiki, Misty, Meia and Jura surrounded him, waiting for his report about the pilot's condition.
" How is she? " Hibiki asked, as the others anxiously waited for Duero's report. Duero kept quiet while his eyes closed. Hibiki anoyed on his action. He's been waiting outside the medical room for hours and this. " I SAID HOW IS SHE??!! " Hibiki yelled.
" She's fine, but she completely lost her memories. Amazingly, she could still remember our names, "
" What? When will she regain her memories back? " Hibiki asked.
" That depends on her.. "
****
Later, Hibiki decided visit the pilot. He brought his Christmas present along with him, which was gifted to him by Dita as he intent to regain her memories back.
" Hey...It's me.. " Hibiki greeted as he step into the medical room where Dita was held. Dita stared at him, as she try to recall her memory back about Hibiki. She snapped her fingers, then gave Hibiki a sweet smile.
" Uchyujin-san? Hibiki? Is that you? "
" Glad that you could remember me, " he replied. He sat next to her, and stared at her face for a moment. Dita did the same way, while a little smile curved on her face. Hibiki lightly touched Dita's left cheek, and said,
" You know I missed you so much, Dita.. "
" Huh? " Dita confused. " Why did he misses Dita that much? What is my relation with him? Is he my lover? " she thought. The Santa-Uchyujin toy caught her eyes, as it seemed so familliar to her. She grabbed the toy, and placed it on her lap. Some memories about the toy flashed in her mind.
** Flashback **
" Uchyujin-san, promise me that you would open this present on 12.00 a.m. " Dita said as she handed her hand-made Christmas present to her beloved Mr.Alien in the middle of crowd while the girls preparing themelves for the Christmas Parade. Hibiki received the present with a fake smile on his face...
