When The Time Comes To Say Goodbye...
It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much the same
'Cause this is just a game
- Beautiful Lie – 30 Seconds To Mars
Bel shut off the cortex, feeling better after talking to Sea and Sabrina. She sat back in her chair and looked out the window at the busy world outside and she contemplated everything that led up to this moment. Everything from the moment of her father’s death to the minute she left Hale’s Moon. Every second moving in her head like a movie on flash forward. The emotions she was expecting to feel never came and she smiled, knowing that she was finally content and happy where she was.
She had gotten a cortex letter from Xaviar the night before. Bridgette and himself finally tied the knot and not only that, they found out Bridge was four months pregnant. The Captain and the crew of the Golden Dawn were finally coming into their own. Making a legit business deal with a few traders on some moons and planets transporting goods from one post to another. Not the highest paying job, but its legit and less dangerous. Especially since Bridge was expecting.
She could hear Taia and Jonas playing upstairs, the young mother spending more and more time with a local market man down in the shopping district. The young man knowing the details of Taia’s husband’s horrid death, and willing to go as slow as it takes. Jack, the young man, adored Jonas and Bel could tell he adored Taia just as much.
Walter, a few days before, proposed to Sarah. It sounded more like a business proposition and less romantic than it should. But to know Walter would know that it was the most beautiful business proposition he could muster up. Sarah said yes, of course, and they plan on a winter wedding. Bel as maid of honor and Taia as a bridesmaid. Sarah had been pouring over everything like a giddy young girl. Taia asked her if it was okay for a Shepherd to get married, and Sarah said yes, cause even Shepherds need family.
Her reverie was cut short by the buzzing at the door, her head turning slightly to look into the house while she took a sip of tea, letting the taste of tea, sugar and cream fill her while she listened to Sarah answer the door, the familiar voice of Alex Miraconi filling the room.
“Is Bel Carver here?” Sarah answered him by saying that Bel was on the balcony. The sound of heavy footsteps moved closer until Alex sat down at the table next to her. She glanced up as she took a sip of tea and smiled at him before she spoke.
“Im glad you could make it on short notice, Alex.”
He smiled at her, noting that she used his first name. “Well, when you call, I must answer.” His smile was roguish and alluring and Bel couldn’t help chuckle at the man while she sipped her tea. When she finished she set the cup down and looked at him. “I assume you have your answer on whether you are going to join us. I have been waiting with bated breath.”
Bel looked around before looking back at Alex and nodding her head. “I have my answer. But I must require some things before accepting.” She saw the look in his eyes and how he figured she would say yes. “Any news of Xaviar is to keep from the Alliance. He is married with a child now and I will not let him be harmed.” Alex nodded in agreement before Bel started on. “I can leave at any time. For any reason.” He looked a little more pained at this before he nodded. “And last, as the medic on your ship, I have final say on how I handle my decisions.”
“You seem to have a lot of conditions to this, Bel. But we agree to these conditions. Only because we want you on.” He shoved himself from the table and stood up. “Welcome to the Order, Belize Carver.”
The End…
And that is the end of Bel’s story. It wasn’t an easy decision. But since I am no longer playing Bel on the Firefly sims there was no reason to keep her story going. Thank you for my dearest friends who encouraged me and stood by me through all this. And always remember that emotions are not a bad thing. Never let one person tell you that what you are feeling is wrong. With that, my time on Firefly was not only fun but a great learning experience but I feel that I will not do anymore Roleplaying on Second Life. Thank you all and I leave you with this quote from George Washington…
“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.”
