Dunno...*ungh*...for what it's worth, I don't believe it anymore...but somehow...I think the memory was real for someone, somehow...can't really explain...*ungh*

<Cobalt flies in; the Inter-Stellar Travel Agency has long since been repaired, all walls covered up and the small office made to look as it always had. It is robot activated and only two employees exist: Cobalt Kid and Lolita, co-owners.>
Haven't been here in quite awhile...guess I've just been busy. But this is perhaps my most important holding regarding my "activities" throughout the cosmos.
Now I wait.

I’m here, Cobie. I figured you were going to be late so I waited before I came.
{Lolita has not been here since Thyme Crime, electing to dissolve all partnerships with Cobalt Kid when he broke her heart almost two years earlier. In fact, while she has seen him in recent weeks, it was only the midst of battle. They have not truly spoken since that day.}
I guess you can say this conversation is long overdue.

<Cobalt stands and walks over to her but stops, unsure if he should hug her or how to even greet her.>
You’ll note I never sold your shares to any of our partnerships and holdings. It all remains the same as it always was.
I’m glad you could come, Lolita. Some things need to be said. And the first among them is…I’m sorry. I’m sorry…for all of it. Sometimes I focus on things I deem too important when the most important things of all are right in front of my face. I took you for granted for a long time. I’m sorry for that.
And I’m sorry for the way I ended our friendship.

{Lolita is still surprised by his forthrightness despite expecting this, given their recent interactions.}
…
Cobie…I’m…I’m sorry too. I should have been more honest with you over the years. Especially when I know you so well. I…I think my expectations had become…well, I don’t know what they became.
When you work so close with someone, and it limits the life you have outside it, you begin to focus on only what you see everyday.
So, I accept your apology. I’m sorry too.
{She nods but despite apologies, it still feels very awkward.}

I don’t think you quite understand what I’m trying to say.
<He begins walking towards her.>
I have many friends in the LMB and on Legion World, and indeed across the cosmos. Many good friends. But I have few truly great friends who know me inside out. You are one of them, Lolita and losing you as a friend was a loss that I can’t overcome. I might not have been able to give you what you wanted two years ago, but I can still give you the friendship and companionship we once shared.
I…I can’t do this without you.

Do all of it. Everything I am workings towards in the galaxy. I can’t do it without you. Not only your brilliant mind and the way you can curb the bad side of me, but I can’t do it without your companionship. I need to know we’re in this together.
Lo…I’m a bit lost. I’d be an awful boyfriend or husband. But I could be a great friend again.

{A silence now stands between them as she looks at him. For once, her instincts and computer-brain have left her and she can’t think one way or another.}
Okay.
{She walks over to him and hugs him, hugs him very tightly and suddenly two years worth of pain and hurt begin to wash away.}

<as she looks at him in surprise, he smiles; when she smiles back he at last feel things are getting back to normal.>
Care to go back? We're at last going to move on the Dark Oval after all these years. And I'll need you to watch my back more than ever.
<hands her a series of files.>
Wait until you learn who we've gotten our intel from. You'll be infuriated but you'll see some of our assumptions have been dead on over the years.
<sits down and pours them each a drink.>
I feel a tremendous weight lifted off of me; Lolita and I focusing on what we've always intended for the galaxy again...it's just like old times...
