The strangest year of my life!

Summary: Slight AU Van and Fiona have beaten the death saurer again and decide to take a break with Rudolph again. But this time they come back in the most strangest of circumstances.

Romance/humour Pairings Van.F & Fiona Rudolph & Marianne.

"Well, here we are Fiona" Van said calmly as they approached a small forest in the desert. Although it didn't seem that big, but they knew it well as it's the same place they came to with Rudolph last time.

"YAH, I can finally stretch my legs" Fiona replied stretching out her legs in the cockpit of the Blade liger. "Do you know when Rudolph will arrive, Van" She asked wrapping her arms around Van's shoulders since after the death saurer has been defeated they admitted their feelings for each other.

"Sorry Fiona I don't but he said he would drop us a line when he would be arriving. Besides between now and then we can set up our camp and get the fire wood all collected before he gets here......"

"Um Fiona, I know when he's gonna arrive" he said a bit shakily

"Yeah when" Fiona nearly screaming in Van's ear. She then notices that Van is pointing at a white Gustav with a Royal sabre fang walking besides it. Fiona who was still holding onto Van decided to jump up and down with excitement of seeing their friend once more.

"AH, Fiona can you stop jumping as your slightly strangling me at the same time" Van managed to say between strangles from his girlfriend.

"Oops sorry Van" Fiona started to say before she was cut off by Van kissing her on the lips. Fiona who just smiled at the action and returned the passion she was being given. They finally separated after the desperate need for air.

"Well, I'll take that as an acceptance for my apology" Fiona managed to force between raged breathes.

"Come on we need to meet Rudolph as he's just standing there staring at us" Van replied gleefully. Van opened the cockpit and was instantly greeted by the warm summer breeze and the fresh air the forest provided. "Hey Rudolph, Long time no see" Van greeted as he jumped from the liger and landed perfectly in front of Rudolph.

"Hey Van, how you been lately since the deathsaurer" Rudolph asked suddenly as Van scared him with his landing. "Hey where's Fiona, Van".

"I'm fine thanks and Fiona is just grabbing her bag and she will be down." As if on cue she jumps down and lands next to Van with a slight stumble due to her bag on her shoulder.

"Hey Rudolph, how are you" She asked hugging him fiercely. Slightly shocked at the fast greeting she quickly returned the hug and answered "I'm fine; it's good to see you. How long have you guys been here since you were still in the liger when I arrived"? Rudolph asked nosily.

"Say about 2 minutes, we were just talking about when you was gonna arrive with Marianne. Speaking of which, where is she"? Van answered looking over to the Gustav that hasn't had its canopy open yet. The sheer mention of Marianne's name, Rudolph's face dropped like a brick.

"Well ...um she's asleep in the Gustav with our driver Martin, and well she's been even pushier about the wedding since the deathsaurer incident" Rudolph explained nervously. Without him knowing the sheer mention of his and Marianne's wedding the Gustav cockpit opened so quickly not even Zeke could follow with his optic sensory eyes.

"Rudolph, I heard something about a wedding" Marianne screamed as she ran the distance between the Gustav and her Rudolph. "Oh hello Van, Fiona where's Thomas I thought he would be here with you"? Marianne asked. Fiona who after hearing what Marianne just started to grow this Cheshire cat grin screaming " I'M WITH VAN, I don't think about Thomas that way." Fiona screamed at the top of her lungs for the whole world to here.

"WAH, Fiona did you have to scream so loud" Van whined

"Sorry everyone, ever since people have met Thomas he would complain that I'm always with Van, but that's because e and Van was in love but kept the emotions to ourselves for a while." Fiona admitted shyly.

For couple of minutes they just stood there in silence.

"Well since we're all here shall we set up camp" Van said breaking the silence.

"Yeah would be a good idea since will get dark soon, Van if you and Fiona will set up the tents me and Marianne will get the fire gong and start dinner" Rudolph said in a rather commanding voice. Van and Fiona just nodded their heads and got to work in silence. After about an hour the camp was set up and dinner was cooking. The scent wafted over to Van's nose, who just has a huge grin widening as he smelt the delicious food.

"Fiona, I was thinking after this vacation do you want to go visit the Wind colony for a while" Van asked with a sly grin on his face. Fiona who was just resting her head on Van's chest just propped her head up and nodded enthusiastically.

"Why do you have to ask that question, you should know I'll go anywhere with you" Fiona answered staring deeply into Van's eyes. Van pulled her closer and kissed her with all the passion he had, Fiona instantly returned with as much passion. They were so caught up in there kiss they didn't hear the rustling of the bush behind them, where two men had emerged both in white lab coats and evil grins on their faces. They had to separate to breathe but whimpered at the loss of contact before they managed to kiss again, a clothe was placed over their mouths and fell into a deep sleep due to the chloroform on the rags.

"So Tony do they seem a suitable couple for our experiment or shall we try the emperor over the next hedge" the mysterious man asked his college.

"Yes they should do fine since we don't want the attention of the empirical army after us do we Christian" Tony replied with his evil grin showing once more.
