Touch The Stars
Author's Note: This is another one-shot, a companion piece to Ever Changing Eyes. It was only sensible to do one on Mary-Lynette. This is on her thoughts on her life and her first love – The Stars... During the end of DOD.

I've always looked for the stars.
Not the type of stars that are human, who make millions on their talent or lack of it. No, I'm talking about the actual red, orange and yellow balls of gas, burning millions and millions of miles away. Coloured, different tinted glints from the velvety, immaculate background, bathing the world in its peaceful and mysterious atmosphere. Soft and misty, while being austere. Not easy to pull off. They persistently manage, however, just like me. I try to be like the other girls. Bouncy, fun-loving but that's not what I'm really like. That's Bunny. I'm different. I've always been different…
So why do I like the stars so much?
Simple. When I look at the stars, I see a place of peace. I look at it for warmth, comfort and belonging. White Dwarf's, Supernova's and Red Giants, that's where I belong, with Capricorn, Orion, the Big-Dipper in the long white, velvet of the Milky Way. Through my telescope, I see hopes as high as heaven, aspiration as high as Saturn. When I'm standing on top of that hill, it isn't all that far. They used to be so far away. I couldn't reach them. Not then, not there. I used to wish that someday, I'd be able to see their secrets and I'll be able to touch them. Then I met him. Ash. Reached out and succumbed to my emotions for once.
I would have never guessed how it would all come to be. I wouldn't have admitted it before but I will now. I'm glad it all happened. He has bought me closer to the stars, closer to the night, closer to my own emotions. A not so perfect entity. Split into many parts, never to be joined as one, fated to be apart and alone. I was wrong. I was never meant to be alone, I was meant to be one essence with two souls. Soulmates.
I'm hanging on the edge of destiny, with silver string still humming. I feel like a little star, burning now brighter, than ever. I wish the night would last forever but it'll soon be lost to the biggest star of all. The sun. Losing the million stars I gain the biggest one of all. Just like the past few days, I lost a number of things I loved but gained the most special one of all. My Soulmate. Ash Redfern.
