003 sighed. It had been twenty years, twenty years since 009 defeated Black Ghost, seven years since he died, it had also been twenty years since she had found out she was pregnant.
003 turned to her son. He had dirty blonde hair and, most stunningly, bright red eyes.
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy, was nothin' but a…
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked…
"Eryk." she said. He looked at her.
"What is it, Mother?" he asked, confusion glinting his eyes.
"We need to have a talk."
Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey… oh…
"I'm really sorry I haven't told you before. But Jet… Isn't your father." Eryk didn't say anything for a moment, then:
"What?"
"Do you remember me telling you about… Joe?" Eryk nodded.
"He's your father," she whispered.
"But what about Dad?" he asked.
"He agreed to help me raise you and love you as if you were his own."
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready… for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look…
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare…
"But… What happened to him?" he tried to find something to get angry with her for, but couldn't find any, so changed tact.
"D - do you remember me telling you how he went into space to defeat Black Ghost?" Eryk nodded again.
"But he came back alive." he objected.
"Yes he did, but in a coma."
I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Ooh yeah… yeah yeah yeah… oh… oh…
"A - a coma?" he stuttered.
003 nodded, "He was in a coma for thirteen years."
"Thirteen years?"
"Yes." Tears were in her eyes now.
"What happened then?"
"We… Turned off his life force. We all agreed he w - wasn't going to wake."
"He died?" 003 nodded. "Is that why we're in a cemetery?"
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so… If so… Who answers… Who answers
003 nodded, took her son's hand and led him down many paths and rows of headstones and statues. Neither wanted to say anything, so both remained silent.
It seemed to Eryk that his mother knew the way so well she must have travelled it many times before. Finally, they came to a stop near a weather-beaten stone. From the Japanese carved into it, Eryk read his real father's name.
"Joe Shimamura…"
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
This story is short, I know. Oh well. Have any of you noticed just how much gramma his in it!
Anyway!
