A/N: I just felt like writing this. The song is "Somewhere Out There" from
'An American Tail', and I love it because it was my parents' wedding song.
Anyways, it's Wes/Jen, and please, if you liked it or not, Read & Review!
Mahalo nui loa...
~*~
Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there
~*~
Wes quietly unlocked the door to the now abandoned clock tower, and stepped inside. As he had expected, all that was left were the charred remains of a home he had shared with his friends, and a few personal items scattered about. Out of the corner of his eye, he turned and picked up a slightly burnt photo of the five of them posing in their green wigs, smiles wide on their faces.
" They had to leave...it was for the best," Wes reminded himself firmly, putting the picture back down.
" What the?" There was a slight glint from atop Jen's old cot, and was clearly marked 'For Wes's eyes only'. Hesitantly, as if afraid it would shatter in his hands, he slipped it into his portable DVD player. Jen's beautiful face filled the small screen, as Wes's heart ached. Slowly and shakily, she began to talk, and he had to strain to hear her quiet words.
" Wes... hi. If you're seeing this now it means one of two things. I'm either back in the year 3000... or I've died. I entrusted this with your dad, in hopes that one day when you were wondering about me, this would be here for you. As a memento of our time together." Wes brushed his fingers over her soft skin, but only found cold pixels.
" I, I want you to know that I love you, and I hope this isn't the first time you've heard me say that. Even though in the beginning I was mean and distant and harsh, doesn't mean that your kindness or your loving personality didn't impact me eventually. You helped me get over Alex, and realize that life can go on, as long as you have friends by your side. But you're more than that to me. You're my- What? Coming!"
Wes heard his own voice in the background and was saddened when he realized when this was made. If only he hadn't called her, she may have told him what he meant to her, before she'd left. She turned back to the camera and placed her hand on what he'd guessed was the off switch.
" I love you Wes. And if you ever feel alone, do this. Look up at the moon, and think that I'm doing the same thing, just a millennium later. Never forget that I love you with all my heart. Jen out." The display went dark, leaving Wes sitting there, even more lonely and depressed than before.
~*~
Later that night, after fulfilling some meaningless tasks for the Silver Guardians, Wes re-watched the footage that his love had taped for him.
' Look up at the moon...' those words haunted him, and in a quick decision, rushed to the Clock tower.
" Here goes nothing." Wes climbed up to the ledge where he and Jen had many a conversation.
" Are you looking at the moon like you said you would? Or have you forgotten all about me?" Suddenly, rage took over and he threw his red beret down to the street.
" God Jen, I miss you so much," Wes murmured, hitting his fist on the balcony railing.
" I'm doing what you told me to do and I'm looking at the moon. But I'm not feeling any better. In fact, I feel even worse."
" Then can I help you?" Wes whirled his head around to be met by warm brown eyes.
" Jen? What the hell??"
" That's not the kind of greeting I was expecting." She met his lips through the windowsill and let them linger there for a long time.
" Does that make you feel better?" He couldn't say anything, except stroke her cheek. She leaned in and whispered into his ear.
" I told you that looking at the moon would help."
That was all they said for hours, as they quietly kissed on the precarious ledge. As the moon began to dim, Jen softly spoke.
" Oh Wes?"
" What?"
" Get up. Aren't you stiff?"
~*~
" What Jen?"
" Jen? Wes, it's me, Eric. I think you were dreaming." Wes opened his eyes and looked at his second-in-command.
" Where did Jen go? Is she inside?" Eric helped his friend into the tower.
" She's still in the future Wes. It's 9 in the morning. How long have you been out here?"
" Since about 11 last night. Urgh. My neck hurts."
" I'll say. You're lucky you didn't fall to your death last night. I found your beret out by the front door." Wes grabbed the hat out of Eric's hand and walked towards the stairs.
" So you dreamed about Jen huh...?"
~*~
" Hey Jen?" Katie rubbed her leader's shoulder.
" What happened?"
" You fell asleep outside. Are you cold?"
" No. I, I saw Wes in my dream Katie. He was as real as you are." The Yellow Ranger gave Jen a pained look and put her arm around her.
" Jen... Wes is 1000 years in the past." With a sad glance at the disappearing moon, Jen murmured something to herself.
" That's where you're wrong. He's out there Katie. Somewhere. I just know it..."
~*~
And even though I know
How very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there
~*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: My original idea for this was much different, where Jen appears out of nowhere, says she loves him, and the two live happily ever after. Fluffy, but I wanted some more depth. I don't know if there is, but it turned out okay.
Ms.Birdman: You're very welcome.
fan: I'm really happy you liked this chapter. So now I've done a Wes/Jen, I'm working on a Cole/Alyssa, but I'm afraid any Lost Galaxy couple is near impossible for me to do if I want a nice chapter. Thanks for the review!
