Paradise For Fools [Songfic]

Snow falls on Akusho as Basara mounts his valkyrie.  Mylene wrinkles her 
nose at the cold and at Basara's sudden need to explore the galaxy. Through
the window she sits and watches. 

	[You're building castles in the air my love...]
	[This life you lead is full of dreams]

The engine starts and an odd gleam can be seen in Basara'a eyes.

	[You'll have no heartbreak when you're there it's true...]
	[but dreams aren't real as they may seem...]

The valkyrie takes off leaving behind swirls of snow and fog 

	[And then my love] 
	[how can I ever reach you there?]
	[How can I ever hold you near]
	[In your paradise for fools]

Mylene touches the glass before reaching for her p-coat.

	[It's time you knew] 
	[that dreams will disappear my love]
	[That castles fall from the air it's true]
	[from your paradise for fools.]

As she walks to her car, she imagines how things would be if Basara stayed.

	[So build your castles on my love for you]
	[it will neither tumble nor will fall]

She pictures them on stage then blushes at the memory of the few quiet 
moments they  shared after a show when he helped her to pack away the 
equipment.

	[and promise now that you will love me too]
	[I'm waiting for your "vacant" call]

She turns the ignition and starts her journey back home.

	[And then my love] 
	[I will forever hold you near]

"My Soul for You" plays on the radio causing Mylene to tear.

	[I will forever keep you here] 
	[from your paardise for fools]


She passes the spot where they first met and she spilled ice cream on his 
shirt.

	[and then you'll know] 
	[that love won't disappear like dreams]

She finally pulls up in front of her house  and noticing something sticking
out of the glove compartment 

	[so come now without fear to me...]

With the click of a button a small Basara key chain plummets into Mylene's 
hand.

	[from your paradise...]

She holds it to her heart and begins to cry.

	[for...]
	[fools...]
