Outlaw Star-Fatal Blow

Chapter 1-24-A New Beginning

The Outlaw Star crew are flying to a food station during the night. Everyone except Gene is asleep. Melfina comes into the piloting part of the ship. Gene is operating the ship.

"Hey honey."

"Oh, hey Melfina. Why are you awake? You should be asleep."

"I know, but I was worried about you."

"Worried? Why? What's there to be worried about?"

"Well now that we're together, I was worried you might leave me."

"Oh Melfina don't worried about that kinda shit. I'll always be here."

"Thank you Gene. I'll be in bed if you need me."

"Got cha!"

Melfina walked up the away into the darkness. When she was no longer visible...

"Sigh! Man Melfina been takin this whole relationship thing a bit too seriously. Maybe I should tell her to take it easier? No! She'll fall apart. Well I guess I'll just have to deal with it."

The Outlaw Star finally arrived at the Food Station. Gene let off a siren in the ship. Everyone in the ship were half awake. Gene knew this and turned on the radio system.

"GET YOUR ASSES UP! TIME TO GO EAT!" he shouted over the radio system.

Everyone just about were awake. Suzuka was the first one down. She looked hung over.

"Hey Suzuka, you look a little hung over."

"No, I'm just tired. WE don't have any liquor on the ship anyway."

"Humpf. Well I guess your right."

Gene stood by the door of the walk-way connection pod that let the crew transfer from the ship. Suzuka was first out and was the one who had to find a table for the crew. Gene watched her walked for a bit. Her walking was a bit shaky and drunk, but Gene knew she was tired. He turned his head and waited for the others.

"HURRY UP!"

"GROWL! Shut your mouth Gene because your teach have not been brushed!" Aisha laughed.

She boarded the Food Station and after her came Jim and finally Melfina.

"What took you so long Melfina?"

"Oh! I just wanted to walked with you."

Gene nodded, stood close to Melfina and walked with her. Melfina reached for his hand. He twitched.

"Oh sorry. I just haven't done this before."

"I understand."

Melfina and Gene held hands and walked into the Food Station. When they got to the other side Melfina began to shiver a bit.

"I'm cold Gene."

"Ai? I mean oh! Here take my jacket."

Melfina turned around and Gene put the jacket on her. He turned her around to button it up and ended up with their faces only like 3 inches apart. They started moving closer together. They were about to kiss...

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" a combined shriek of Jim and Aisha echoed the station.

Gene and Melfina bumped heads.

"Owww! You metal head hurts!"

Melfina chuckled.

"Sorry meat head!"

Gene laughed with her. Then Aisha and Jim screamed again. Gene's eyes shot wide open and he ran to them. Melfina was still laughing, but stopped when she realized Gene wasn't even there. She walked to the scene, head down looking at the floor.

Over by Aisha and Jim

Gene came to their table breathing heavily. Then he saw it... Suzuka lay passed out, bleeding from the nose.
