That night at dinner, everyone was pilled in the galley for Silver's famous Bonza Beast Stew. "Alright, the lot of ya, calm down, and you'll have a taste of me famous Bonza Beast Stew," said Silver as he started passing it out.

When Jim finally got his dinner, he found an empty spot over by Jen and quietly went over to her. "Is this seat taken?" he asked her.

"No, it usually never is," said Jen, and Jim sat down next to her.

"Well, maybe you would like some company tonight," said Jim with a smile, and he gazed at her for a moment.

"Are you alright, Jim?" asked Jen when she noticed his eyes fixed on her.

Jim shook his head. "Uhh….. ahh….. Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?" he asked trying to recover from his gaze.

"I'm fine. So, is there anything else you wanted to tell me? We never did get to talk in your quarters this afternoon," said Jen and all of a sudden a loud crash was heard, and the crew was throwing plates and food all over the place.

"Oh no…" said Jim as he looked at it all. "What am I going to do now?"

Jen then looked around thinking and then got an idea, so she got up on one of the tables and yelled, "Gosh, you know what would go great with this dinner?"

Everyone quieted down and looked at her and said, "What?"

"A little entertainment," said Jen, and she jumped onto another table. "Gather round ladies and gentleman, Gosh have I got a song for you. It'll blow away all of the horrible thoughts, from this totally wreck lace crew…I've been all around the galaxy, searching far and wide. For this certain someone, who will catch my eye. Tall, dark, rugged, and handsome, oh yes, tall, dark, rugged, and handsome. He's gotta be tall, dark, rugged, and handsome. Cause that's the guy for me. Tall, dark, rugged, and handsome, oh yes, tall, dark, rugged, and handsome. He's gotta be tall, dark, rugged, and handsome. Cause that's the guy for me. Those blue eyes gotta pull me in, and never let me go. I'll never get a wink of sleep, for my mind will always be on the go." She then broke into a dance break, and all of the crew cheered her on. Jim also cheered and found he couldn't keep his eyes off of her, and he held a dreamy look on his face thinking that she might be talking about him. "Those blue eyes gotta pull me in, and never let me go. I'll never get a wink of sleep, for my mind will always be on the go. Tall, dark, rugged, and handsome, oh yes, tall, dark, rugged, and handsome. He's gotta be tall, dark, rugged, and handsome. Cause that's the guy for me. Cause that's the guy… yes, Cause that's the guy… no, Cause that's the guy for me! That's the guy for me. Yeah…"

The whole room then burst into applause, and Amelia looked over at Jim, who had a dreamy look on his face, and smiled.

Jen then got off of the table and walked back over to where Jim was sitting and sat down in her seat. "Well, there won't be anymore fights in the galley tonight," Jen said, winking at Jim, with a little laughter in her voice.

"That… that was awesome. Where did you learn that song?" asked Jim in amazement.

"I made it up off of the top of my head," responded Jen, and she ate her stew.

Jim was taken by surprise at hearing this and finished up his stew and looked at her with a dreamy look in his eyes.

Jen then finished up her stew and noticed that he was looking at her. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Nothing," replied Jim a bit startled as he broke his gaze. "But, I was wondering if you wanted to go and sit outside with me for a little while?"

"I would love to," said Jen, and she stood up and Jim led her outside on the deck.

Jim and Jen then sat on a couple of barrels under the stars. "It's really pretty tonight," said Jen.

"Yeah, it is," said Jim then nervously said, "You were really good tonight, ya know, dancing and singing," and he sort of blushed.

"Thanks," said Jen, and she went back to looking up at the stars.

Jim scratched his head and looked around wanting to ask Jen something and opened his mouth to speak and said nothing. Then after a few moments of silence he finally asked, "Remember that first time we met?" and Jen nodded. "Well, what were you really doing out there by the cliffs?"

Jen took a deep breath and said, "So, you want the truth, huh?" and Jim nodded. She then sighed and continued, "Alright, but don't say I didn't warn ya. That day you saw me over by the cliffs… you foiled my goal. I was singing up to the heavens, up to God for this horrible life he had bestowed upon me. I wanted to dance one last time, and while I was dancing I really did slip on some rocks on the edge of the cliff. I didn't scream, because what had just happened would have saved me from what I was going to do a few minutes later, but then you saved me."

Jim tried to understand what she was saying and thought he knew and said, looking like he was going to pass out, "No, you're not…."

Jen nodded. "Yes, Jim. I am a suicidal," she said, and Jim clutched at his heart gasping for breath and then looked away. "You have no idea what kind of a life I have lived, Jim. I need to end it," and Jen stood up and walked over to the edge of the ship. "I just need to be free," and she climbed up on top of the rail.

Jim jumped up from the barrel he was sitting on and ran over to her, grabbing Jen's wrist. "No, I won't let you do this. Now just, please, tell me what is so wrong with your life that you need to end it," said Jim trying to get her away from the rail.

"I… I can't. But, what does it matter anyways? I have nothing. Nobody cares for me, and certainly nobody loves me," said Jen ready to jump.

"I do," said Jim. "I care for you, and I do love you," and Jen stopped, trying to think about what had just happened.

"You do?" she asked and Jim nodded. Jen then grew light headed and fell off of the ship.

Jim held onto her wrist tighter. "Hold on! I've got you!" he yelled as he pulled her up and back on to the ship.

"I… I don't know what to say," said Jen trying to collect herself once she was safe on the ship.

"Just say that you love me too, Jen," said Jim with a smile on his face, and he looked deep into her eyes.

For one brief moment a super nova could have occurred and a black hole formed and Jim and Jen would have never noticed. Jen then finally started to lean forward towards Jim, as did Jim to Jen, when all of a sudden she pulled back. "I'm sorry, Jim. I just… can't," said Jen, and she fled into her cabin in tears.

Jim looked after her, heart broken and ready to cry as a dark shadow looked down upon him then disappeared.

Poor Jim. You had your heart ripped out of you and stomped on. Maybe I'll make it up to you in the next chapter.
