The Pain Inside the Electrical Storm

Chapter 2 - Gone

[Warning: May contain spoilers for the show (Second Season)]

"You may have noticed me acting a little crazy." Percy's voice filled the tulip's bridge, and everyone stopped moving as they stared at the video screen. "For some reason I care about you. So take care, you guys, I don't know when I'll be coming back." She paused. "But I'll always know where to find the Tulip." She slapped a PAD in her hand after her small speech. Then she grinned psychotically, and looked back up at the vid screen, the grin still there. Then the screen went blank, and everyone was completely speechless. Left with only the image of Percy's psychotic grin still in their minds.

Nothing moved, nor did anyone say a word for several minutes as they tried to acknowledge what had just happened. Percy was gone. She left the crew, her friends, the Tulip, home… Gone. She was gone.

"She's really gone and done it this time, hasn't she?" Travis muttered absent-mindedly. He had his hands on his hips, and a frown on his face.

Callie stared blankly at the screen. She really hadn't seen that one coming. She really hadn't. The idea of Percy leaving the Tulip had never really crossed her mind before that moment. Percy had never seemed to want to leave, except on certain occasions when she would stop on stations to buy parts for the ship. But that was it.

"She's gone. She's really gone, isn't she? She left?" Marcus said slowly, still staring at the now blank video screen.

"She's gone." Carravagio affirmed, who was completely and utterly confused by Percy's actions. Or was as close to being confused as the poor A.I. could get.

"She left." Rudolpho said simply, not sure of how to react to her departure. He had nearly seen it coming, but not this soon. He knew by the way she was acting that she needed a break from everything, but… Not so soon.

Travis shook his head a few times, turned his back to the screen, and walked off of the bridge. He walked, deep in thought, until he found himself standing in front of Percy's quarters. The door: the same as every other one on the ship. But when he opened it, the contents were a different matter.

In the middle of the room hung two different coloured fabrics, both draped over something nearly invisible under their colours. There were PADs strewn all over the floor, and different parts of the ship lay on the ground, her bed, the many consoles… There were wires everywhere, all different colours, adding to the creative mess that was referred to as her living space.

Travis leaned his elbow against the open doorway, and pulled his bangs out from his forehead as he looked at everything carefully. As happy memories of their shared time aboard the ship flooded his mind, he smiled sadly. He would miss her. And he was sure that her departure would affect the rest of the crew as well. He was quite sure.

A few tears clouded his vision, and he turned his back on his cousin's room. The door closed automatically behind him, and he walked away.

"Goodbye, Percy." Travis whispered with a sigh as he headed back to the bridge to take his mind off of things. "Take care."

Oh my! Why did I do that?? Because the show is making Sarah sad because of Percy's leaving, and I just had to add it into the story… --; cries ;;

But this isn't the end of the story! There's a whole lot more! Just waiting to be posted!

SORRY FOR HOW SHORT THIS CHAPTER WAS!!! (I could have made it soo much longer, but I thought it was good just like this! Wow, I wish I could be on Starhunter! That would be the greatest!!!)

Thanks to everyone who reviewed!! (I'm really glad you all liked it! I was hesitant, at first, because this is my first Starhunter fanfic, and the first one in this Starhunter Category! I'm so glad that people helped me get it added to ff.net! .):

A fan: Thanks! I know, me too! I'm simply in love with the show! -- Thank you very much! I tried my hardest to keep them as real as I possibly could so that the show side of them didn't disappear completely! : ) Percy is one of my favourite characters as well!

Oh, I never noticed any spelling mistakes! And it's quite fine if you made any, I don't ever really notice! I wouldn't say you were bad at spelling, judging from your review I'd say you are quite excellent at it! : ) Thanks for the review! It means a lot to me!!

Earthling: I know! Me too! It's my favourite show in the world! Oh, I know, that happened to me, as well, they used to carry it on a local channel, but got rid of it just when it was getting good… But now they have it on a Space channel, so it's even better! Thanks! And thank you for reviewing!!! : )

bloodredcherry: Thanks! joins in the dancing : ) Oh, don't worry, there'll be a lot more! Yeah, I honestly didn't mean for it to seem like a Percy/Marcus story, but I wanted it to be true to the show, and in the show they seem to really like each other! And I would love to see them get together in the show!! So there probably will be lots of stuff going on between them!! Thanks for reviewing! I hope you enjoyed this next part!

A friend of a friend: Thank you for reviewing! I know! Isn't it so exciting? XD I love Starhunter! Well, here's more! I hope you enjoyed reading it!

Important Note: There will be a lot more story! It doesn't just end here! (I would never do that to any of you! huggles everyone Thanks!)

Please R&R!
