Percy: I decided you are more important to me than my job with my people. I have come here for you, as you could not stay with me there.

Berry: gasp Percy you didn’t! You didn’t have to do that… 

Percy: I did. I could not see myself spending another moment without you with me. Is that foolish?

Berry: No… It’s beautiful, and sweet, and romantic. 

I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t missed him. Talking with him made me feel less alone. Yea I had Mama, the kids, even Honeydew. But there was always something missing. There still is, as you aren’t here. But… Percy helped build me back up. Having him here, it’s the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

He was there, walking towards me. I was sure I was daydreaming. That couldn’t be him. He’d never set foot on the planet before.

Percy: Hello Xelxqeoa.

Before we parted the last time, he called me that… I asked him what it meant, but he told me that once he finished aligning the stars he would tell me. It was definitely him, I wasn’t seeing things.

Berry: Percy! What are you doing here?

Percy: I researched what you meant by aligning the stars… I know now you did not mean it literally.

Berry: laughs No it’s a figure of speech.

Percy: Yes, I know this now, and have aligned the stars as you say.

Berry: What do you mean?

It was a long time before I saw Percy again. I wasn’t entirely sure I ever would. There was definitely something there, but neither of us could give up what we needed to do. More and more years passed. I had moved out, found a job. I was still trying to find you, but I never forgot about him.

Then, I was taking our little siblings to the park and…. well out of the blue…

Berry: You told me about your obligation to your people… so I know you can’t come with me either. As much as I would like to stay here with you Percy, I can’t. My brother needs me.

♫  No one can rewrite the stars, How can you say you’ll be mine? Everything keeps us apart, And I’m not the one you were meant to find

Percy: Berry…

Berry: I’m sorry… I need to go home Percy. But maybe… if the stars ever do align…

Percy: I will engineer them myself to make sure they do.

Berry: laughs That’s not what I… just give me a hug and send me home?

You know I want you, It’s not a secret I try to hide, But I can’t have you, We’re bound to break and my hands are tied

♪ ♫

Percy: I was hoping the more I bring you to visit. The more you will wish to stay with me. Is that foolish?

What if we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine, Nothing could keep us apart, You’d be the one I was meant to find.  ♫

My heart was pounding. Everything he was saying was so sweet. His company was wonderful, and finding out there was other beings out there made me very hopeful. If Percy’s people didn’t take you, what other creatures were out there that could? And he was one of the sweetest people I’d ever met… 

Berry: Percy… I do… I do think I feel something for you too, but I have to find me brother. I can’t do that if I’m up here with you.

♫  You think it’s easy, You think I don’t want to run to you, But there are mountains, And there are doors that we can’t walk through

♩ ♪

That wasn’t the first time he took me either.. as the days went on, everytime I went out to that telescope hoping maybe there were different alien species out there, Percy abducted me again. I didn’t mind. Like I said, I enjoyed talking to him, and talking about you. Everyday he would ask if I found you yet, showing concern. Finally, I decided to ask why he kept abducting me, when I knew he had to have gotten all the research he needed by now.

Percy: I will be honest with you Berry Pie.

Berry: laughs You can just call be Berry, Percy.

Percy: I have been studying more of your culture… I have learned about something called.. ‘Love at first sight.’

You know I want you, It’s not a secret I try to hide

I was blushing. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. But… I knew what he meant. All the time we spent together…

Percy: I think that is what I felt when you were unafraid of me. I felt bad thinking I had made you sad when I told you, we did not have your brother.

Berry: Percy…

I know you want me So don’t keep saying our hands are tied
