Chapter 20: I Miss You Guys
It has been a few years since the death of his crew and his beloved cat have died. Him and Gem had stayed close friends, occasionally meeting at the beach when it was dark. The siren would always tell the vex hybrid how it made her remember her late night talks with Pearl. It would always make Scar smile since it was clear Gem cared deeply for Pearl.
Throughout the years Scar had taken the role of being a pirate salesman and hat collector. Speaking of hats he kept his crew's hats because on that night of the storm none of them were wearing their hats. So the vex hybrid had took them and wore them as a memory to remember his crew. He had also become a Kestrel along with Guqqie, Shep, Martyn, Kyle, Sausage, Oli/Oliver, and Shelby.
Despite finding new friends, the guilt of losing his crew was still there. He doesn't know why but he blames himself for their deaths even if Gem tries to him it wasn't. That didn't stop his guilt. The vex hybrid just wishes he didn't feel that guilt but his heart just made him feel guilty.
One night Scar finds himself lying on his bed with a sad expression. Tomorrow is the day his crew died. Him and Gem had this tradition to go to the bench and look over to the ocean. They would pray as a way to honor their friends. It wasn't much but it was something they cherished and they hoped that if their friends could see them still holding onto their memory.
During that day, the vex hybrid and the siren would eat the four's favorite food. They could do it for Jellie but they didn't feel like eating raw fish so they ate cooked fish instead. That was their plan and they never got bored of it. Scar sighed. "Okay Scar you can do this tomorrow you are meeting Gem at the beach. And no breaking down like always" Scar said to himself. He would always break down crying during the day of his crew's death. Thankfully Gem would comfort him.
The vex hybrid then went to sleep. The morning sun arose and Scar stretched. "Okay today is the day, ready?" Scar said to particularly no one. 'Right still used to having my crew respond to me...' Scar thought before shaking his head. He went to his drawers and got dressed, making sure to wear the hats of his crew like everyday. "Scar GoodTimes is ready" Scar said and left his house.
He walked to the beach where he immediately saw Gem. In her human form so she wouldn't expose her siren self. He grins and quietly walked over to the distracted siren. Once he was close enough he pounced on Gem and knocked themselves both in the ocean. That surprised her and she yelped. The two were now wet.
"SCAR!" Gem yelled and smacked his arm playfully. The man laughed as he stood up, dripping wet. She sighs and got up, shaking to get dry or at least attempt to. 'That was one way to start the morning!' Scar thought with a smile. The two proceeded to do what they always do on this day.
As the hours passed the sun began to set lower and lower. Scar and Gem had gone to the dock and sat down looking over the ocean. "You miss them too?" Gem asked after a bit of silence. "Everyday" Scar said. The siren nodded and the two proceeded to think little prayers for ten minutes as they always did, all while having their eyes closed
After those ten minutes they opened their eyes. "You think they can see us?" Scar asked. "I hope they can" Gem said with a smile. "You ever wish you told Grian how you felt?" Gem asked. "Everyday" Scar said as they suddenly went to a comfortable silence. After some time the vex hybrid spoke up. "I miss them a lot" Scar said.
"Me too Scar. Me too" Gem said. The ocean waves were splashing against the pole holding up the dock. "I remember how Mumbo would always splash Grian sometimes I like to think it's Mumbo and Grian doing what the water is currently doing" Scar said. The siren chuckle quietly. "Their ghosts doing it now?" Gem asked.
"I can see it!" Scar said with a smirk. The other laughed as Scar slowly joined in. The laugher calmed down after a minute. "They'll always be my friends my crew" Scar mumbled to himself with a smile. Little did he know Gem heard.
We miss you two both too...Meow
