Hello! The following fanfiction was written jointly by two authors, Zuka and Stelmaria. Zuka is super smart, and a great author, so we decided to share our ideas. This fic is under my account, but she wrote half the story so give her the credit she justly deserves!

Vash headed for the plant control center. Gazing over the complicated knobs and switches he quickly spotted the problem. 'Great,' He sighed. 'The plant will have to be fixed manually.' Shaking his head in resignation, he ambled up to the plant containment facility. Tugging at the heavy steal door, he entered the silent room. Dimly his mind registered the whirl and click of background machinery. An eerie, otherworldly glow lit the room emanating from the damaged plant. Looking closer he found what he was searching for.
A long jagged gash ran down the side of the plant's smooth glass cover. Immediately Vash felt a sharp pain in his side. Only an echo, he realized, of what the plant itself was experiencing. What had caused this? He wasn't sure, but knew he had to help the plant quickly. It was rapidly losing energy. Before he could step closer, however, he heard rapid footsteps closing in from behind.
"Hey! What are you doing? You aren't allowed to be in here!"
"Huh? Insurance girl?"
"It's Meryl to you, broom head!"
"Hey now, don't be like that!" Vash said in a whiney tone. "I only wanna help"
"With your luck you'd end up breaking something and the whole plant would go up in flames."
Vash decided not to dignify the comment with a reply. Besides, he knew she just came up here because she was worried about him. Smirking, he decided to give her a little show.
Stepping up to the bulb he reached out his hands to gently caress the fragile glass. 'Work with me here, my sister. I kinda wanna impress that girl over there, so could you do something a little flashy?' he pleaded.
He turned back and gave Meryl a wide smile. "I happen to be here for a very important purpose, okay?'
She still seemed skeptical so with exaggerated determination he placed both hands firmly on the bulb's surface. Closing his eyes he said loudly, "Heal yourself, oh brilliant orb! Glitter again with the life you so generously radiate!"
Meryl's mouth dropped open, showing plainly how crazy she thought he was. "Vash, c'mon... What if some technician comes in a sees-"
She broke off mid-sentence as the room was filled with a shining blue light.
"Huh?"
"Vash, you air headed idiot, what if you get hur-" her tirade dropped off as she gazed at the broken bulb in awe. It seemed to glimmer brilliantly, pulsing with divine light. Meryl felt a warm blanket of contentment wash over her as the bulb gained energy. Peering through squinted eyes, she located Vash leaning gently against the glass. His cheek was pressed against the side, eyes closed in deep meditation. She had just decided to go see if he was alright when a movement caught her eye. Looking up into the vast glass encasing she gasped in shock. Someone was staring back at her. It looked vaguely like a human being, with long flowing hair and brilliant blue eyes. Her legs were long and slender, and her skin seemed to glow with an etheral light.
"An angel," she whispered.
The blue glow was increasing in brightness if that was possible. The last thing she saw before she was forced to shut her eyes was an intense shaft of white light that shot out form the creature in the blub. Toward her!
"Vash!" she cried out.
A warm, tingling sensation rushed from her fingertips, through her heart, to her toes. Then she was falling, drifting into nothingness.
--
Meryl slowly opened her eyes and moaned. Clutching her head she tried to quell a massive headache. Slowly focusing, she recognized a pair of aqua-marine eyes, creased with worry, peering down at her.
"Meryl? Are you alright? Are you dying? Meryl, Meryl! Say something Meryl."
She recovered her wits enough to be touched at the concern laced in his voice. Carefully she sat up and accessed the damage. Two arms, two legs, and, as far as she could tell, eyes ears and a nose.
"I think I'm alright, Vash. What happened?"
Vash sighed with relief and plopped down beside her. "Well, when the plant repaired herself she had a little latent enery."
"A little?" Meryl replied incredulously.
"Okay, a lot. Anyway, she decided to send some to you. Filling your body and giving you... a new aura."
"What? Vash, what are you trying to say?"
"Well..." He paused. There was just no easy way to say this. "You've turned into a plant."
Meryl stared at him a few seconds in dumbstruck awe. Then she promply passed out again.
Vash sighed as he studied her face. She had taken the new rather well, or so he thought. He hadn't yet told her about her change in appearance. Her eyes had changed to a pale blue, the color of ice. They glowed softly with the immense power veiled behind them. Her hair, too, had shifted to a brilliant white, flowing gently over her ears to end in silky curls. She was beautiful, Vash realized. He pushed back the urge to bend over and kiss her in her slumber. Instead, he kept his peace, silently watching over her as she drempt.
