Chapter 8: Just Another Part Of Me
Natalie's POV
I looked over my shoulder in awe as I saw Captain EO firing at the Supreme Leader with his rainbow powers, as she started to return to her true form. We both then floated back down to the ground as we watched colors flashing around her, and rainbow beams were flying out, returning the planet to it's former, beautiful state.
Free form her tubes, the transforming Supreme Leader floated down to the ground. the captain and I both smiled with joy as we saw the Supreme Leader return to her true state, a beautiful woman. We all knelt down in respect as she walked down toward us with stars flying from her. Captain EO then stood up, gently took her hand and kissed it and I bowed to her in respect.
She smiled and said to us, "Thank you both, for returning me and my planet to it's normal state."
The captain said to her, "It was no trouble, your highness."
I nodded in agreement and said rather shyly, "And um, I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier. I-I was just-"
But she raised up her hand and said to me,
"There's no need for you to be sorry, my dear. I was wrong about you both and your crew. I've been in the dark for so long, that I wasn't able to see how badly my people and the planet were suffering. But thanks to you both, I've been reborn and my planet and my people have been restored to their true beauty."
Smiling, I hugged the Supreme Leader and she hugged me back, saying,
"Never stop changing the world."
And adding as she looked to both me and the captain, "The both of you."
We both nodded in response with a smile. Captain EO and I then exchanged grins, spun around and saluted to the rest of our crew members. We both then spun around and made a pose while the captain shouted
"Ooh!"
The music started playing as we all started dancing as I laughed with pure joy. We all started marching forward as Captain EO did a front kick and I spun around, threw some punches, and spun around once more as we started walking towards the exit. We both turned back around to face the Supreme Leader and did some signature dances as Captain EO sang;
We're sendin' out
A major love
I sang out while pointing to the Supreme Leader and her people, as she waved bye to us while one of her servants held her up on their shoulders;
And this is our
Message to you
(Message to you)
Captain EO sang with joy as he held up his fist;
The planets are linin' up
I took the next line and sang with a determined grin while I continued to dance;
We're bringin' brighter days
We both sang as we both clapped and continued to dance while everybody wished us farewell;
They're all in line
Waitin' for you
Can't you see...?
You're just another part of me...
The captain and I both opened up our jackets to reveal both a glowing rainbow on Captain EO's shirt, and a glowing golden heart on my shirt. Captain EO shouted as we both extended our arms, turned around and strutted towards the exit;
Hee Hee!
Oooh!
I continued to laugh with pure joy as Captain EO sang;
Another part of me
Fuzzball then flew up to the Supreme Leader and her people and chirped with a wave in a rather bashful way,
"Bye Bye!"
And flew back to join us as Captain EO and I both saluted to the Supreme Leader and her people, waved bye, and walked out of the room.
We did it! We really did it! we delivered the gift to the Supreme Leader and restored her and her planet to it's natural beauty. Not only that, but I actually gained my full confidence back! All of this was just a wonderful experience to feel.
But now that we succeeded in our goal, I realized that I had to tell the captain that I could not go any further with him and the crew. I didn't know how he was going to react and I was afraid that he was going to be angry with me, but as fun as this job was, I knew I couldn't stay here forever and I would miss my home too much. So as soon as we headed toward the ship, I gained up the courage to tell him.
