The Unwanted Marriage
DISCLAMER-I own NOTHING except for uhhh..The Zibach princess and her father.
"Oh Hitomi, I miss you so." Van sighed as he looked off, hoping to see a bright light in the distance.
"Van! Lord Van!" Merle looked distressed at her seventeen-year-old playmate. "Van, I don't want to obset you or anything, but she's not gonna be here by tomorrow."
"Who says she has to be here tomorrow?"
"The WEDDING is tomorrow, and if you're hoping to have her prance in and tell you to stop and marry her, that she wants to live in Gea, that's not going to happen."
"I don't know if there is going to be a wedding, at least not tomorrow."
"WHAT!!!" Merle fell out of her perch on the roof to the balcony's floor.
"I thought you had it all planned out, and that one princess from Zibach ...you can't CANCEL NOW!!"
"Exactly, she's from ZIBACH! I mean I have to be crazy to marry her!" Van shook his head in defiance knowing Hitomi wouldn't approve either.
"You know that they're our allies, and that war type thing is done, and for that matter so is Hitomi, so GET OVER IT!" Merle jumped on the rail to speak in Van's face.
"There's something sneaky about her, and I don't like it." Van pointed a finger in Merle's face. "I'm not marrying her without putting up a fight."
"You're hopeless, you know that?" The fifteen-year-old cat girl sighed and jumped effortlessly onto the roof and back in her room.
"There's gotta be something wrong, I mean when I thought about taking in that one girl from Zibach to be a soldier everyone practically freaked out." Van wondered, his mind boggled from the events from yesterday, and last week.

"HITOMI!! ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?" Yukari scanned the high school track and called out again, "COME ON HITOMI!", she sighed with exasperation.
"Yah, of course I'm coming!" Hitomi made one last lap and trotted over to her friend. She usually spent her evenings at the track since she got back from Gea two years before.
"Let's go, I promised to meet Amano at the mall!" Yukari walked away briskly leaving her friend running after her, rolling her eyes. With one last look at the general direction of the track she walked she walked in helping Yukari look for Amano.

"Ummm, Van, don't you think it would be best if you got some sleep?" One of the royal advisers tapped his king on the back and motioned toward his sleeping chambers.
" Yes, one second." Van pulled his eyes away from the town and walked inside. He knew the real reason that everyone was begging him to sleep was because of the wedding. He stood thinking of a way to postpone the unwanted marriage but, when he was stumped, he took everyone's advice and slipped into bed, hoping for a clear mind in the morning.

Hitomi looked far into the distance on a bench outside the mall. She had left Amano and Yukari staring into each other's eyes. With a sudden burst of energy she stood up and jogged back to the track were all of her adventures had started.
"I know it can't happen all over again, but nowadays I wish it could." Hitomi sighed. "I wish I could go back to Gea." And millions and millions of miles away a distraught ruler made the same wish.
