"Man I am so bored," said Van as him, Irvine, and Thomas were sitting
around.
"Stop complaining," said Irvine.
"I can't help it," said Van, "Ever since we defeated the deathsaurer and deathstinger there has been nothing to do," said Van.
"I know what you mean, but something will eventually happen, so that might give us something to do," said Thomas.
"Maybe I should just go work on the blade liger," said Van.
"Good, then we won't have to hear you complain," said Irvine.
"I bet you are just as bored as I am," said Van.
"At least I don't complain about it," said Irvine. Suddenly Van had an idea. "Hey Irvine, why don't we train by going up against each other," said Van.
"Why should I," asked Irvine?
"I just thought that we could use the training and we won't be bored," said Van, "And I can get you back," said Van.
"Whatever," said Irvine as him and Van headed for the hanger to get their zoids.
"Are you ready Irvine," asked Van as they got in their zoids and headed out to the battlefield.
"I guess," said Irvine.
"Then here I come," said Van. The blade liger charged forward and attacked the lightning saix but the lightning saix used its incredible speed and dodged the attack, he shot at the liger but he also missed.
"Nice try Van but I don't think you will even be able to touch me," said Irvine.
"Oh yeah, well I didn't see any of your bullets hit me," said Van. The blade liger charged forward again and leapt into the air. Once again Irvine used his speed but this time Van was prepared and using his boosters he shot in the direction that Irvine went and landed on him. "Ha," said Van.
"Alright you won," said Irvine as if he didn't give a care.
"You are just sore because you lost," said Van.
"I am not," said an annoyed Irvine, "We should head back, Van," said Irvine.
"That sure was a quick battle for me," said Van.
"So I was caught off guard a little, it really doesn't mean anything," said Irvine. Van and Irvine then came into the hanger of the base.
When Van got out of his blade liger, he started to do work on repairing it a little. It was then that Fiona approached him. "Hey Van," said Fiona.
"Hey Fiona, what's up," asked Van?
"Nothing I came to see if you needed any help," said Fiona.
"No thank Fiona, I think I have everything covered," said Van.
"Are you ok, Van," asked Fiona?
"Yeah I am, I am just bored that is all," said Van, "Is something on your mind Fiona," asked Van?
"No, I was just thinking that is all," said Fiona.
"About what," asked Van?
"Nothing really," said Fiona.
"Are you sure," asked Van?
"Yeah," said Fiona. After a quick thought she decided to speak, "Hey Van, I need to talk to you in private," said Fiona.
"Sure, what is it," asked Van?
"Follow me," said Fiona.
"Ok," said a confused Van.
Fiona led him down a few hallways before she came to a stop. "What is it," asked Van?
"I just wanted to say thank for all you have done for me," said Fiona.
"Why did you want to talk to me in private for something like that," asked Van?
"There is something else I wanted to say," said Fiona.
"Sure, what is it," asked Van?
"I just wanted to say that I," said Fiona but she couldn't finish.
"What," asked Van? Fiona was a bit embarrassed at the time and turned her back to Van to try and hide her blush. "Fiona," asked Van? Van turned Fiona around so that she faced him and his eye met with Fiona's. They just stayed that way for a while. The space between Van and Fiona started to get smaller. Just as they were about to kiss though, Van broke away. "I am sorry, I shouldn't have tried to do that," said Van and he started to walk away.
Fiona was a little hurt by what he was saying. 'Fiona you should tell him,' her brain was telling her. 'He doesn't feel that way about me if he was sorry for something like that,' thought Fiona with tears building up in her eyes. 'For all I know I am probably a distraction for him,' she thought again.
"Hey Fiona, what up," asked Moonbay as she was walking by.
"It is nothing," said Fiona who was still a little hurt by what Van said.
"I have a feeling that there is something wrong," said Moonbay, "Lets talk," said Moonbay as she led Fiona in a different direction.
"Alright, what happened Fiona," asked Moonbay?
"I don't feel like talking about it," said Fiona.
"It has to do with Van, doesn't it," asked Moonbay? Fiona merely nodded her head. "What happened," asked Moonbay?
"I went to talk to Van, and something nearly happened between us," said Fiona.
"Then why are you so sad," asked Moonbay?
"It is because he stopped and said that he shouldn't have tried to do it," said Fiona.
"I see," said Moonbay, "It's ok," said Moonbay.
"I guess," said Fiona.
"Don't worry about it Fiona. It is his lose," said Moonbay.
"In a way, Moonbay. I wanted it to happen though," said Fiona.
"Why don't you just tell Van what is on your mind," asked Moonbay?
"I don't think he really feels the same way about me, like I feel about him," said Fiona.
"You love him, don't you," asked Moonbay?
"Yes," said Fiona.
"Then you should tell him," said Moonbay.
"He pretty much made it clear to me that he doesn't feel the same way," said Fiona.
"What are you going to do," asked Moonbay?
"I don't know," said Fiona. Fiona then walked away.
"Where are you going," asked Moonbay?
"To take a walk," said Fiona.
Moonbay couldn't take it and went to find Van. When she found him, she saw that he was working on the blade liger. "Hey Van," said Moonbay.
"What," asked Van placing down the tools that he had in his hands?
"Why did you do that to Fiona," asked Moonbay?
"She told you," said Van.
"Yeah, she did," said Moonbay, "So why did you say that," asked Moonbay?
"It was because of my own reasons," said Van.
"What do you mean," asked Moonbay?
"Fiona is my best friend. I value our friendship a lot, but I don't want to ruin it by doing something she might not want," said Van.
"What if she did want it," asked Moonbay?
"I doubt it," said Van.
"How do you feel about Fiona," asked Moonbay?
"I care about her deeply," said Van.
"Do you love her," asked Moonbay slyly?
"What," asked Van with a slight blush.
"You heard me do you love her," asked Moonbay?
"I never thought about it like that. Now that I think about it though, I guess I do," said Van who was turning a deeper shade of red.
"Tell her, Van. She seemed pretty depressed about what you said," said Moonbay.
"I guess I should tell her," said Van, "Where is she," asked Van?
"She went for a walk. Just tell her when she gets back," said Moonbay.
"I will try," said Van.
*****
Meanwhile Fiona was at a nearby village and was just walking around. "Why is it that Van said what he did," Fiona asked herself? She was caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice when she walked into someone. "I am sorry," said Fiona as she looks up to see a man smiling at her.
"It is ok," said the man with slight amusement in his voice.
"No really, I wasn't looking where I was going," said Fiona.
"Don't worry about it. My name is Nathan," said the man.
"I am Fiona," said Fiona.
"That is a lovely name. I think it goes perfectly for a lovely woman," said Nathan.
"Thank you," said Fiona with a slight blush.
"I have an idea," said Nathan.
"What," asked Fiona?
"Why don't I take you to get something to eat," asked Nathan.
"Thanks, but I really don't know," said Fiona.
"I will accept your apology if you do this," said Nathan.
"Fine, I guess so," said Fiona.
"So why are you out here all alone," asked Nathan?
"I was just coming out here to take a walk," said Fiona.
"By the way you walked into me, you looked like you had something on your mind," said Nathan.
"At the time I did," said Fiona.
"What was it about," asked Nathan.
"I was thinking about something my friend said to me," said Fiona.
"Really," asked Nathan?
"Yes, he said something I just can't get off my mind," said Fiona.
"Is he your boyfriend," asked Nathan?
"I guess not," said Fiona.
"That means I have a chance with you," said Nathan.
*****
"Hey Moonbay, is Fiona back," asked Van?
"I haven't seen her, but she should be back a little later," said Moonbay.
"Don't you think that she has been gone long enough," asked Van?
"Don't worry, she will be back," said Moonbay.
*****
Days past, then weeks, then months, and then a year and they hadn't heard from Fiona. Moonbay left to look for her but was unable to find her when she came back. "Any luck," asked Van?
"No, I have searched everywhere, and I haven't been able to find her," said Moonbay.
"I hope something hasn't happened to her," said Van.
"I am sure Fiona is ok. She can take care of herself. So there is no need to worry too much," said Moonbay.
"She hasn't even tried to contact us," said Van.
"I think she wasn't trying to contact you after what you did," said Moonbay.
"I shouldn't have said that, I know that but I didn't think she would do something like this," said Van, "I wish I could talk to her," said Van.
"We all do," said Moonbay.
"Listen can you keep looking for her. I need to go into town to get some parts for the blade liger," said Van.
"Sure thing," said Moonbay. Van then walked off to his blade liger.
"Now where is the shop I needed to go to," Van asked himself once he had gotten into the city? As he searched around for the shop he did notice someone with hair like Fiona's. "I must be seeing things," said Van as he rubbed his eyes. He looked again and there he saw Fiona. "Fiona," said Van. He quickly got out of the blade liger and walked over to her. "Fiona," asked Van?
Fiona hadn't recognized the voice at the time. "Yes," said Fiona as she turned around. She was shocked to see Van. "Van," said Fiona.
"It is you," said Van.
"Hey Van," said Fiona in an unhappy way.
"Where have you been," asked Van?
"Around," said Fiona quietly.
"Why haven't you tried to contact us," asked Van?
"I didn't want to," said Fiona.
Van looked at her and noticed that she hadn't changed a bit in the last year. "I missed you Fiona," said Van, "I was worried about you, because you never even tried to contact us and I was afraid something might have happened to you," said Van.
"Nothing happened," said Fiona. Van became so happy to see her that he just gave her a hug.
"Um, excuse me," came a voice from behind Van.
"Yes," asked Van as he turned around to see Nathan, "What," asked Van?
"What are you doing with my girlfriend," asked Nathan.
"Hey, Nathan," said Fiona.
"Who are you," asked Nathan?
"Van, I am an old friend of Fiona's," said Van. "Ah, so you are the Van Flyheight I have heard so much about from Fiona. Well if you are an old friend of Fiona's, it is nice to meet you," said Nathan.
"Fiona's your girlfriend," asked Van?
"Yes," said Nathan.
"Is this true, Fiona," asked Van? She just nodded her head. 'No, I am too late,' thought Van.
"Why don't we all go and get something to eat and we can talk, Van," said Nathan.
"I guess," said Van.
"Stop complaining," said Irvine.
"I can't help it," said Van, "Ever since we defeated the deathsaurer and deathstinger there has been nothing to do," said Van.
"I know what you mean, but something will eventually happen, so that might give us something to do," said Thomas.
"Maybe I should just go work on the blade liger," said Van.
