All right, been a while since I've seen Outlaw Star but I'm gunna take a
shot at making a good fanfic. I don't remember some things so if I mess
this up tell me, I'll fix it and place my blessing upon you (the blessing
of fire. Ooooo, FIRE!!!).
Disclaimer: I do not own Outlaw Star®, it's characters, or the company that created it, as much as I wish that I did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
Gene walks out from a shop. The sign above the shop reads "Starwind and Hawking Enterprise" on a half-rotted wooden board. Gene sighs and walks down the street alone. As he walks, he thinks to himself, "I sure miss that old ship..." He keeps walking for a bit until he reaches a mid-sized house. He walks up the walkway to the door and opens it. He opens the door to find it empty inside. "I wonder where Melfina went," Gene says. He walks over to a couch and flops down on it. "It's just not the same without Jim here," Gene says to himself, "I can't believe that he left me behind when he went off in the ship... That little punk, I'm gunna pound his head in when he gets back... If he comes back." Gene pulls a beer from the cooler next to the couch and starts to drink. Just like always he just sits there and drinks thinking of the crew and the Outlaw Star.
Gene remembers clearly the day Jim and the others left, leaving him and Melfina behind. "Just another day at Starwind and Hawking Enterprise," Jim says in a dull tone. "Awww, come on, it's not that bad," Gene says, putting his hand on Jim's head. "Hey! Come on, don't do that! I'm not a little kid," Jim says indignantly. "But you're always a kid to me," Gene says and ruffles Jim's hair. "Ok, that's it," Jim says and jumps at Gene. They roll around wrestling until Melfina comes and gets them for lunch. "You guys are so silly," says Melfina when she sees them. "Hey, Jim here started it," Gene says smiling with his hand behind his head. "No I didn't! You did!" Jim says in mock-anger. Melfina smiles and they all laugh.
Later on, Jim goes over to Gene and asks, "Have you ever wanted to go back to how it was before we beat Hazanko?" "Honestly, yes I have wanted to go back, but that just can't happen any more. We beat the guy and now he's dead. It would be fun to relive the last battle with him though," Gene says smiling. "How come you don't go out in the ship anymore?" Jim asks. "It wouldn't be the same, Jim. It's not like we can go out there and everything is back to how it was, it doesn't work like that. It would only make us feel worse to fly around in that old thing without anything ever happening," Gene says irately. "Do you ever wonder what happened to Ron MacDougall?" Jim asks. "Not really, why?" Gene asks. "We never really found him. He could be out there you know," Jim says.
"Jim, you think too much," Gene says in a dry tone. Jim and Gene wrestle around again. Gene is sitting back in a chair while Jim goes through the work on the computer. "You know you could help a little," Jim says crossly. "You know you could take a break any time," Gene says unenthusiastically. "Gene, you're impossible!" Jims says and walks off. Gene sits there as Suzuka walks by. "Gene have you seen Aisha around?" asks Suzuka. "Nope, she must be out somewhere," Gene replies and yawns. After a while Gene gets up to find Jim. "Hey Jim, are you here?" Gene calls out. "Yeah, I'm here," Jim replies. "Where've you been?" Gene asks. "Talking to Gillian," Jim says. "Oh, what did you talk about?" Gene asks curiously. "About how much he's gone into disrepair. You really need to fix him up sometime soon," Jim says, anger showing in his voice.
"Why? He's not gunna be flying anytime soon," Gene says. "Maybe you won't be flying him but I will. I really want to see the Outlaw Star off the ground sometime soon," Jim says. "It has no navigation system without Melfina in it," Gene says. "I just installed a new navi-system. It should fly just fine with it," Jim says. "Since when do you have the money for something like that?" Gene asks. "I built it myself," Jim says. "I don't think we should be flying in that thing. It's been grounded for too long," Gene says. "Well I didn't say you had to come. I can fly it myself," Jim says. "Don't get yourself killed," Gene says and laughs.
Gene takes another sip of his beer. "Maybe I shouldn't have laughed at him," Gene thinks to himself, "I was wrong to do that." Gene finishes his beer and lays back. "Yeah, maybe I should 'a gone," Gene says groggily, "Maybe... may... be..." Gene yawns and falls asleep on the couch. The moonlight shines through the window down on Gene as he lies there. He turns over on his side and falls deep into sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ Wow, that was depressing hmmmm... I sense more of his story to come... in next chapter. So, don't stop reading. Look for the next chapter, coming soon. Even sooner if you review this!
