At first, it was only him and her on Argcon 9.
“Do you ever think we’ll be found, Gally?”
“Of course, Stella! I mean, it may be a small planet, but we’ll be found. I promise!”
But soon, he wished for more than a small world and her.
“I wanna be a space pirate!”
She wished for nothing more than him to stay in her little world.
“Gally, don’t say that! They’re mean people!”
“So? They’re so cool! They can do what they want, when they want to! Not unlike this place, where adults are constantly breathing down their back!”
She wanted to be a healer.
He wanted to be a killer.
And one day, he was given a chance to fulfill his wish…
“Hey kid, wanna help us out and be an errand boy on a pirate ship?”
“Would I ever!”
“Great. Come back here in an hour. We’ll be taking off by then.”
“Okay! I can‘t wait to bring Ella along-”
“And oh, kid… come alone.”
…but his price was her and her love.
“Gally! Look, I found an old ship! We can go fishing now!”
“Stell.”
“Huh?”
“I’m leaving.”
“What do you mean? To where?”
“I’m going to be a space pirate.”
“W-W-What? Gally, you can’t leave!”
“I’m sorry, Stell, but I have to!”
“Gally, please don’t leave me!”
So he made her a promise.
He made so many promises.
“I promise I’ll come back! And I’ll be able to whisk you away from this place! I’ll be rich, and powerful, and I’ll make you my wife!”
“Gally… I don’t care about all of that, I just don’t want you to die or be a criminal or kill someone! Gally, I don’t know what they told you, but please stay!
“For me?”
“I’m sorry… I can’t do that, Stell. But I’ll come back! And I swear I’ll be a clean pirate! Okay? I’ll be back before you know it, Stella!”
“No, Gally, come back!”
Promises he couldn’t keep.
Ah, the Silver Eye pirates keep killing! And it seems they have recruited a promising thirteen year old too! Gosh, they start so young! What’s his name?
Eh, we don’t know Raze, but he does go by the name, “Oliver the Stellar.”
Wow, what a strange name!
Yes, it is, or maybe the name is a message? I’m not sure, the reception from the interview was horrible…
“HAHAHAHAHA! Did you hear that, ‘Oliver’? They thought your love message was your name! HAHAHAHAHA!”
“Shut up, White Eye!”
“Hey, it’s Captain Silver Eye to you… ah, nevermind. You’re bound to be the next Eye anyway, so why bother?”
“What, old man? I may only be 15, but I have horrible hearing! Say again?”
I’m coming for you…
Stella…
…and during the crossfire, Argcon 9 was destroyed, along with all its population…
“No… that can’t be!”
Stella…
“Oliver? Are you all right, captain?”
“…leave me alone. I need to think.”
…Oliver has gone on a killng spree! Has this newly crowed captain’s massacre of royal ships have anything to do with the destruction of Argcon 9?
“Hey captain?”
“What is it, Bone?”
“Who is Stella anyway?”
They were seperated by both time and space.
“Passenger ship up ahead!”
“Good. We raid it tonight!”
“YEAH!”
But a crossing of fate’s roads…
“Glad to have you aboard, Dr. Stella!”
“It’s good to be here. Thank you.”
“Stella?”
“Gally…?”
…brought them back together.
“Galliver?”
“Yes, Stella, my dear?”
“What are you doing?”
“Kissing your neck while holding you, why?”
Stella began to struggle. “Let go of me! Galliver, if you don‘t stop touching me-”
“Aw, c’mon, Stell! We used to wrestle and get into more awkward poses than this! Remember?”
“N-N-No! Besides, even if I did, that was then, when you weren’t a horrible person!”
And though he broke almost every single promise he made her, he was determined to keep at least one to her.
“Galliver, after all these years - almost ten years! - why did you have to whisk me away? I was finally getting my life on track after Argcon was blown up! I was starting to feel happy again! Why?
“Why?!”
He would make her his wife.
“Because I loved you then, let you go, and I still love you.”
-
Galliver had always been a misfit on his small planet. He was so much faster, crazier, and rule-hating than all of his peers. Most called him psycho and the bad boy, all except for his one friend: Stella. Stella was similar to the rest of her world - shy, quiet, rule-loving - but the one difference was her need to heal those who need her.
She adored him, loved him, hated him, and envied him all at once.
So when Gally was given the opportunity to leave this dull world forever, he took it. Leaving Stella behind, giving her his word he would return and make his her bride, Gally broke Stella’s heart by becoming the one thing she hated: a space pirate who had also killed her parents. And for four years, Stella desperately tried to forget him, but to no avail.
There was just no one like him to make Stella fall in love again. So she left, searching for a better world and a better education in healing. A year after she left, a cross fire between a space pirate ship and a space vessel destroyed Argcon 9. Stell’s heart broke again. This time, so did Gally’s. And for the four years, Gally became a wandering pirate captain; he and his crew stole from anyone who crossed paths with them. Stella’s world moved on.
But at the age of nineteen, they met once more and this time, Gally wasn’t ready to let go of anymore promises.
