And Mr. Kirk's time . . . it's a long time after ours.

So it really was goodbye.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... that must be really hard.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

A little. But . . . she's happy now.

It was a good wish.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Well, what would you wish for? If you know...

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ah, that . . .

. . . I don't know.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

That's okay.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Do you know? What you want to wish for.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... maybe. I have an idea.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

What is it?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[looks like he's mentally debating something.]

Probably... to be human again.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Leans a little.]

Zero should wish to be happy, too.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

That would make me happy.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It's one thing. But . . . there are others, too. Aren't there?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... there is?

[looking at you kind of blankly]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It just seems like, if that were it . . . Zero would be more unhappy here, too.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Not sure what you mean...

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh, it's just . . . the only Zero I know is the one here. And, in your memories, I'm sure it's all different, but . . .

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Being human . . . it would mean not being scared anymore. No more being hungry, or worrying that you'll hurt someone, or lose yourself.

But it's always seemed that Zero's happiness . . . that it's not a selfish thing. That it means . . . that the people you care for are safe. That they're happy, too.

All you wanted from me was to see me smile. If there's no one at home, that can smile for you . . . even if you're human, would you be happy?

So I think, if you can . . . wish for both.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... I don't really know what I have left back home, but you can't always get what you want, wish or not.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

What do you want?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... haven't quite figured it out yet.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh . . .

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Hmm.. but probably in a place where... uh, I'm less likely to want to get killed by loved ones.


Something like that.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Reaches over, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and pulling him into a hug.]

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[is a little surprised at that gesture, but lets her do so]

It's fine... really.
