You’re here with me... eternally.... -‘Xanadu’ by Olivia Newton-John

Tears of the Blonde Angel

Bit Cloud looked down from Heaven on his miserable Leena Toros. He sat in the corner of his house and sobbed quietly.

“Why am I not happy up here? This place... it bring me so much remorse,” Bit choked. Bit looked down to the Zi again, he watched over Leena with special care, making sure nothing happened to her.

“Bit!” shouted an angel, running into his house. “It is raining down on Zi! That means... an angel... is crying...” She stopped, realizing Bit was the miserable angel.

“MY PARENTS LIED TO ME, MAY! THEY LIED! THEY TOLD ME I’D GET A NEW BODY AND THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY UP HERE!” Bit shouted at her. “This place was made with happiness, but I’m sad. I will never be happy here!” May, the angel who ran in, sat next to Bit.

“...That is what I said,” May sighed. “I died and left my parents behind. I still miss them so much...” May smiled sadly at the melancholy blonde.

“Huh?”

“I got into a fight with my parents before I died... I was only about twelve. I ran into the street and I tripped and then all of a sudden... black. I had been hit by a car. I did not even know what hit me,” May explained. “Then, before I knew it, I was up here, looking down at the mangled form that used to be my body. I cried for a week. I wish I could have said goodbye and that I love them...”

“I wish I could’ve told my one true love that I love her... well... I already did that, but I wish I could’ve told her while I was alive... so then I could’ve felt her embrace and lips as she kissed me... Why is life so cruel, May?” May shrugged. “I know it’s impossible to go back, to be alive again...Dammit, I wanna haunt Toros Base. Leena’s not scared of me and nobody else has the sixth sense,” Bit sighed.

“Bit, we all know that haunting a place is fixating yourself to it, you will never be able to let go! You will be down there forever! Even after all your friends have died!”

“No! I won’t! I’m leaving! I hate it up here!” Bit shouted, stray tears rolling down his cheeks. “I want to go back.”

“Bit, up here you can do Leena much more good than you can down there,” May said.

“No! You’re wrong! I can do Leena a lot more good down there! She wants me back! I want to be with her! I need her!”

“It cannot be done, Bit! Nobody has ever crossed over the gates of Heaven before! And even if we could, we would have to go through the whole ‘Get-into-Heaven’ ordeal all over again!”

“I don’t care! I need to go back...” Bit choked as he sobbed in May’s arms. “I’ll never be happy up here. I’d probably do better in Purgatory!”

“Oh Bit... don’t say that... you did a lot to get into Heaven...” May sighed. “I know you died so fast, and at a young age... but... we can’t be reborn... not yet...”

“Let me go! Leena! Leena!”

Back on Zi,

“Leena!” Leena heard someone scream her name.

“Bit?” she asked, hopeful her sorrow was over and somehow, someway, her beloved had come back to her. She looked around, “STOP PLAYING TRICKS ON ME! GOD-DAMNED STORM!” She yelled softly, “Bit... please come back...” she sobbed. “I need you...”

“May, I’m leaving, you won’t see me until... well, I’ve decided that I am becoming a guardian angel. I’ve been assigned to my favorite person in the living world, Leena,” Bit said,

“This way, I get what I want, and Leena gets what she wants,” he paused, “Everybody wins, everybody wins!” he sang. May nodded and smiled.

“Good luck, Bit,” she whispered, and then, he disappeared, and a stray tear was left behind...
