Love in a Book: The college years (will change title later)

Hey everybody, this is EmpressFiona02 with a sequel to my other story "Love in a Book". If you haven't read that story, I suggest it to understand this sequel . Please enjoy.

This fic is set 3 months, in august after Love in a book. Everyone is going on with his/her new lives, but are their new lives going to be as peaceful for long?

It's been 3 months since the Zi High School graduation and now everyone has gone their separate ways, but only fate would have it that many of them will see each other again.

It's the autumn solstice (fall equinox) and a new start of a new life and for some, love.

Fligheit Residence

Van is upstairs in his room, looking over a piece of paper in his hands.

"Bedding, check, all my clothes out of my closet, including shoes, check, credit cards, check, Picture of Fiona, Definite check, and picture of parents, check. If I don't take that, they will never let me forget it." Van says to himself while still going over his list. Van continues to look over his list and unnoticed to him, his parents walk in.

"I thought I would never say it or see it, but my son van, is going to college." Dan Fligheit says with Van turning to face him.

"Well now you finally can." Van says cracking a smile at his parents. "You can no longer say the son who won't cut the grass."

Mrs. Fligheit is trying to hold back her tears that are rapidly coming.

"Our son is so grown up and leaving us. It's going to be so quiet without you around the house." Van's mom says now releasing her tears.

"Awe mom." Van says walking from his bed and over to his parents, embracing his mom. "Ill be fine, I won't be far away. Look at this way, I'm going to college, not the military so I'm more then guarantee to come home to you and dad when a war breaks out."

"I know Van, but." Mrs. Fligheit continues.

"Come on honey, Van does have a point. At least if he's in trouble with the law, at least he would know where to come and hide." Dan Fligheit says laughing a bit. Van cracks a smile himself, along with his mom.

"Continue to make us proud son." Mrs. Fligheit says hugging Van tight.

"Without a doubt." Van says softly while still embracing his mom.

Lynette Residence

Fiona, who is now dating Van, is also packing to start her new life away from home.

"Well here's to a new life." Fiona says to herself closing her suitcase and plopping on the bed next to it. "I hope I'm doing the right thing."

A knock suddenly occurs at the door, knocking Fiona out of her little zone she was in.

"Come in." Fiona calls out. The door opens revealing her mother, who has a worried look on her face.

"I can't believe it, my daughter is going away to college." Mrs. Lynette says running over to Fiona, embracing her in a circulation cutting hug.

"Yes, mom I am." Fiona says through the death grip. "I won't be far away."

"It will be so different without you here around the house cleaning and cooking and running up my credit card bills." Mrs. Lynette says as she continues to embrace Fiona, who hugs back.

"Mom I'm going away to college, not dying." Fiona says loosing her mom's grip just a bit.

"I know, but what if something happens to you?" Mrs. Lynette says taking a seat next to Fiona. "I won't be able to protect you."

"Mom I told you and dad already, Van will protect me as best he can and I, too, know how to take care of myself. So nothing will happen to me and I will call every weekend." Fiona says assuring her mom. Her mom has no words, except embrace her in yet another tightening hug. While hugging her mom, Fiona sheds a tear herself, no longer holding back her emotions.

Moonbay's Residence

Irvine has come by to help Moonbay pack as well for their new life away from home, but something else seems to occurring at this point.

"Irvine we have to get up so I can finish packing." Moonbay says getting out of Irvine's grip.

"Come on moon, we have at least two hours before we leave." Irvine says pulling her back in. "So that gives us plenty of time."

"I know we have time, but my mom and dad has invited my aunts and uncles, along with those annoying cousins of mine, over to see me before I do leave." Moonbay says pushing Irvine back a bit.

"Ok well they can wait, because what I have planned won't take that much time, but that same time, who knows." Irvine says grinning.

"You won't take No for an answer will you?" Moonbay asks in a seductive voice.

"Does it look like it?" Irvine says with a little seduction in voice as he pulls Moonbay back in for yet another kiss.

"Well this time you're going to have to because I have a lot to pack away and plus, it's going to take some time to get down there." Moonbay says getting up and walking over to the closet. "And you're going to help me pack."

Irvine sighs in defeat and begins helping Moonbay pack.

Shuboltz Residence

Karl has just finished putting the rest of his packed bags on top of the car, in the carrack.

"That's the last one. Thank god and now I can finally say, I can go somewhere without Thomas being there." Karl says tightening the strap around the big black suitcase. "4 years without him, 4 GLORIOUS YEARS."

Karl continues to celebrate, but is soon cut short when Thomas comes out of the house with his array of suitcases. Karl's expression goes from Happy to horrified.

"Hey Karl, I hope you weren't planning on going without me." Thomas says stopping at the car.

"Thomas don't tell me......" Karl says trailing his words.

"Yep we will be going to the same university." Thomas says smiling wide. Karl just stares at him. Then a flashback appears in is mind.

Flashback

Karl and Thomas have just gotten home from school and Karl checks the mail, finding a rejection letter from ZI University.

End of Flashback

"Wait Thomas, you were rejected from that university." Karl says now snapping back to Reality. "You saw the letter."

"I know, but I'm coming with you to get in." Thomas says smiling.

Without any words to say, Karl quickly jumps in the car and starts it up. He then quickly drives away down the street, leaving skid marks on the road. Thomas is left on the curb with his bags.

"HEY KARL YOU LEFT WITHOUT ME." Thomas yells down the road. (He doesn't get it does he?)

Zi High school

Prozen is walking up and down the school halls, anticipating the start of school and the millions of kids who will be up and down the halls in another week in a half.

"Oh the joys of silence, too bad it won't last." Prozen says passing the science room. He continues to walk when the intercom comes on.

"Prozen please report to the office." The assistant Principle says over the intercom.

"I can't even say when the last time I was able to hear him clear from my history class." Prozen says as he begins his journey to the office. When he finally gets there, he walks through the doors and over to the counter where the sign out book is kept.

"I was paged?" Prozen says in a very un-enthused tone of voice.

"Yes, I paged you. It looks as if you are being transferred." The assistant principle says walking up to Prozen and handing him an envelope.

"Where to?" Prozen asks opening the envelope and taking a look. "I'm being transferred to a University?"

"So it seems." The assistance principle says removing his glasses. "You were a great History teacher and I know you will make a better Calculus teacher." The assistant principle says to him.

"Calculus?" Prozen asks in horror now looking up at the Assistant principle. "No, this has to be a mistake."

"It's no mistake Prozen, indeed you are being transferred and to teach a Calculus class." The assistance principle says walking off.

"Well I guess the change in scenery won't be that bad for me." Prozen says now leaving the office. (Will it?)

Fligheit Residence

Van is finally done packing and has gotten his bags and such in the car that his father is giving him for his years in college.

"Well I guess this is goodbye until you get a phone call from me for when I get there." Van says turning to his parents.

"Yes it is. Your mother and I will always be here if you need anything." Dan says hugging Van.

"I know dad and thanks." Van says returning the hug. His is mom embracing him as well.

"Make us proud son. Get the master's degree." Mrs. Fligheit says wiping away her remaining tears.

"That's my goal mom. That will fill in the space in between my 8th grade and high school graduations diplomas." Van says loosing his grip on his parents.

"Well hun, let's not hold van up from leaving. He will home every other weekend and the summer." Dan says as his mom gives way.

"That's the plan. You know it would have been better to let me have the Mercedes instead of the jaguar." Van says going around on the other side of the jaguar.

"That's your mom's car." Dan says.

"Oh I forgot. Well I better not keep Fiona waiting." Van says climbing in the car and putting on his seat belt.

"Drive safe Son." Mrs. Fligheit calls out to van, whom put the keys in the ignition.

"Always mom." Van says starting the car up. "Well, I'll call you guys when I get there." Van says putting the car in drive and pulling away, heading down the street to Fiona's Residence.

"Ok now that he is out of the house, Let's says we do a little remodeling and moving things around." Dan says turning to his wife.

"OOOHH I know what you mean." Mrs. Fligheit says turning to her husband. "Let's get to it."

Both parents run back to the house, in a chasing manner. (Don't ask, please)

Lynette Residence

Fiona has her bags waiting at the door while she's upstairs making sure isn't leaving anything important behind.

"Well that's everything." Fiona says turning to leave, but stops for a minute to look back at her room. "I won't be seeing you for a while."

Fiona turns and leaves the room and before she makes it to the flight of stairs, she can hear her mom calling.

"Fiona dear, Van is here." Mrs. Lynette calls upstairs to Fiona. Fiona runs down stairs to see van standing in her living room.

"Hey Van." Fiona says walking up to him and giving him a hug.

"You ready to go?" Van asks looking down at Fiona.

"Yeah I am." Fiona says turning from van and to her mom. "Well mom, I'll call you when I get there." Mrs. Lynette embraces Fiona one last time.

"Too bad your father had to work and couldn't see you leave today." Mrs. Lynette says letting Fiona go.

"I know mom, after all he is paying for me to go." Fiona says letting her mom go.

"Do you have those emergency credit cards I gave you?" Mrs. Lynette asks now having Fiona search her pockets.

"Yeah I have all 7. Why so many?" Fiona asks patting her pocket.

"Just in case you run out of money." Mrs. Lynette says wiping away her tears. "Take care of Fiona, Van."

"I sure will ma'am." Van says smiling to her.

"Thanks mom. Well I'll call you when I get there." Fiona says walking towards the door with Van and picking up a few of her bags and Van picks up as many as he can.

"Geez Fiona what do you have in these? Your whole room?" Van asks walking out the door and to the jaguar. Fiona giggles a bit and turns back to her mom.

"Tell daddy I said I'll call." Fiona says now leaving out the house herself.

"I will dear." Mrs. Lynette calls out after Fiona.

Van climbs in the car and puts on his seat belt. Fiona climbs in and does the same. Fiona waves to her mom, who waves back.

"Well it's time to start our new lives." Van says to Fiona who leans over and kisses him.

"Yes it is." Fiona says smiling at Van. Van starts the car and puts the car in drive and away they both go to their new Residence.

Mrs. Lynette turns to close the door when she can hear her name being called.

"MRS. LYNETTE WAIT." An unsuspecting voice calls out ot her. She turns to see it's Thomas.

"Mrs. Lynette I'm glad I finally caught you." Thomas says running up to the porch, trying to catch his breath.

"Oh hello Thomas dear." Mrs. Lynette says in a very bored voice.

"Is Fiona here? Please tell me she is." Thomas pleads.

"No I'm afraid not. She just left with Van to the university just a few minutes ago." Mrs. Lynette says.

Thomas's expression goes to shock.

"Please Mrs. Lynette you have to give me lift to the university. My brother left me and now I have no way there." Thomas begs.

"I would if I could, but my husband has the car today and the other one is in the shop. Sorry dear." Mrs. Lynette says going in the house and closing the door.

Thomas just collapses on the lawn.

Zi University Campus

Van and Fiona has made along with a few others.

"Wow this is bigger then I last remember from the last time we took the tour." Fiona says taking off her seat belt and climbing out.

"I know tell me about it." Van says climbing out as well. "Well let's get ourselves packed in."

The faculty parking area

Prozen has just pulled up in his car.

"Well I guess working at the university won't be so bad. It isn't far my house." Prozen says now turning the car off and climbing out. When he steps out, he looks over the campus and can see two very familiar figures off in the distance. He squints is eyes to get a closer look.

"Don't tell me, oh gods please don't tell me." Prozen says now seeing one of the familiar figures turn and face his direction.

"Oh my god, That's Van Fligheit. I've been transferred down here to teach a Calculus class and now I run into my old History students? This is not going to end well." Prozen says closing his car door and locking it. He makes his way slowly to the campus.

The girl's dorm

Van and Fiona have found where the girls dorm and are now looking for her room.

"Oh here it is, room 214." Fiona says stopping and opening the door. She looks inside. "It's roomy."

"Well I hope the dorm I get is as roomy as yours." Van says walking in the room past Fiona and putting her bags down.

"I'll go get the rest." Van says coming out of her room and into the hallway.

"I'll come with you." Fiona says to Van. Before they go any further, two rooms down the hall, a girl has been thrown into the hall, along with her things.

"My room now." A familiar voice says to the girl. She steps into the hallway.

"How did Reese get in here?" Van asks in confusion.

"Now you know if she's here, then Raven can't be too far behind." Fiona says watching the action down the hall. She couldn't be more right for when Raven comes out of the room Reese is in.

"There is another room down the hall take it." Raven yells. He and Reese go back in the room and shut the door.

Van and Fiona just sigh.

"Well let's finished getting you packed in." Van says as he and Fiona head back out to the Jaguar to get the rest of her bags.
