Chapter 1
As darkness covered in her dreams, she could only wonder why. Many times, she dreamt of the Prince on his beetle racing on Alwas. She was going to win until her father and team ruined it all and lost, then she thought of her partner, the one she'll never see again. Or so she thought.
A golden glow shown it self in her dark dream, as it came closer and brightened on its way toward her, she could only watch it. "Molly." She heard the golden glow say, as she watched it a familiar face came into sight. "Jordan!?" Molly asked. She Retched for the golden face and placed her and on his cheek. "Yes, Molly it's me, I'm sorry I couldn't see you through the year, but the creators have been teaching a lot." Jorden looked at her with his brown eyes. "Your eyes haven't changed not one bit." Molly explained. Jorden's cheeks showed a slight blush. "I came to say happy birthday, and to give you this." He handed Molly a chain with two dog tags hanging from it, with his grandpas and his name on it. "It will keep you save as it kept me save during the great race on Oban." Molly took it and hanged it around her neck. "Ah, thank you Jorden." She smiled up at him. Jorden turned, and his face look complexed. "I must go now." He felt a pull for him to go back to Oban. "You will see him Molly, or should I say Eva?" Eva looked sad but brightened at her real name. "Eva is much better." Jorden looked sad. "Eva you will meet someone very important to you, he needs your help." He started to fade away. "Who Jorden?" Eva cried out. "I can only tell you that he was once a racer on Oban to, Good by Eva and Happy Birthday." The Golden Glow vanished and left Eva to Float in her dream alone again. "Good bye and thank you partner." Holding the dog tags in her hands thinking on who she had to help. "Someone I know, a racer on Oban and is very important to me." Scratching her head trying to think. "AH, I can't figure it out!" As she yelled into nothing everything Went to white and she couldn't see anything.
Eva woke up to a jolt, instantly remembering her dream. She reached for where the dog tags where in her dream. "Jorden." She thought as she grabbed the dog tags that was there hanging around her neck. "Eva?" someone asked through her bedroom door. "Are you awake yet?" Eva yawned and got up and opened the door. "yes dad, I'm up." Don Wei, now her racing manager. Its been a new year for her ever since Oban. "Happy birthday, get dresses and come down, I want to show you something." Eva smiled and looked down, she was wearing her black shirt with the red X on it and her boxers. "Ok." She closed the door and went over to her closet and picked out her clothing for the day.
She picked out the same clothing as she wore on Oban, the green shirt being cut short, exposing her midriff and belly button and overalls folded over, putting on her boots and gloves, almost forgetting her pink googles, the same kind as her mother wore. Eva ran out the door and down stairs, into the kitchen to get something to eat.
Eva was making her some toast when she heard chatting in the living room. With toast in her mouth she walks to the room and to stop in the door way see Koji and Stan on the couch talking. Rick Standing beside Don whispering about something. "Stan, Koji, and Rick! What are you guys doing here?" Eva asked as everyone turned to look at her. "Happy Birthday Molly!" everyone said together. "Happy birthday Eva" Don said. "You like your surprise, it took two weeks to get everyone together, but I didn't it." Eva looked at everyone ecstatically, with a big smile on her face. "It's awesome! Thank you, dad, and thank you everyone!" Eva gave her dad a hug and then went to give everyone else a hug. "you have one more surprise, but he hasn't made it yet-" There was a knock on the front door. "Eva, why don't you go open that, I believe that's him." Don was smiling at the door. Eva walked to the door and opened it, looking out side the door her eyes widened as the door widened. "Aikka!?" Aikka standing just outside the door smiling and waving at Eva. "Hello Molly, or would you prefer Eva?"
Eva gave Aikka a hug, he was surprised to this jester, not used to such physical contact, but hugged her back. "How did you get to earth Aikka? And call me as you prefer." Eva Blushed slightly pulling back from him. "Earth has a new transportation ship, I used it to get here for your birthday." Aikka said while shuffling through the bag he had looking for two small papers. "Oh, come inside!" Eva swayed her hand toward everyone else. "I have something for you Molly." Aikka said taking out the two papers while walking inside. "I made a promise I intend to keep." He handed Eva one of the papers. Eva took it and her eyes widened know what it was. "A ticket to Nourasia!?" Eva looked at her dad. Don walked past them and closed the door then turned and guided them back to the living room. "Yes, me and Prince Aikka made contact about a month ago to plan this. I allowed him to take you to Nourasia." Don looked at Prince Aikka sternly. "You MUST take care of her, she will be going across the universe away from her home, all I ask is that every Sunday she contacts me." Aikka nodded and then looked at Eva. "There will be no need of earthen cloths, I have cloths waiting for you. You will be staying in the palace with me and my family." Eva jumped and ran half way up the stairs then stopped to look at Aikka. "What about my other things, can I bring them?" she asked. Aikka nodded. Eva ran the rest of the way up to get her things.
Eva technically jumped down the stairs with her bags, excited about going to Nourasia. "Eva be careful and don't fall" Don yelled watch her skipping two steps on the way down. "I know, I know dad." Eva exclaimed, looking at Aikka with a wide smile on her face. "When do we go?" she asked. Aikka watched her practically jumping up and down. "Tomorrow morning." He said looking at Don. "Where will I be sleep for the time being, Mr. Wei?" Don thought for a second and then said. "You can stay on the couch, it's not much be I don't have any extra rooms." Don looked at him apologetic. Aikka nodded in understanding, while Eva put her bags by the door ready to go tomorrow morning.
As time passed while everyone was enjoying the evening talking and playing games, as it's getting later during the day. Eva nudging Aikka and nodded toward the back door, Aikka got up and followed her while everyone was watching the tv and didn't notice them leaving. "the sun is going down and is most beautiful scenery to watch, id like to show you this before we leave tomorrow morning." She guided him out the door and up a hilled field. Eva and Aikka got to the top of the hill and sat down, watching the sunset. "Ah, it is quite beautiful indeed." Aikka said while in awed. They sat in silence for a while, "so." Aikka said breaking the silence. "how was your year after the great race?" Eva looked at Aikka, their eyes contacted for a split second. "It was ok, but I missed my friends that I meet on Alwas and Oban, particularly one more then most." She slightly blushed, looking into the sky. Aikka was complexed as he watched Eva. "Jorden?" Eva looked at him, at his eyes. "No." As they looked at each other, it got darker every minute.
"Eva, Prince Aikka!? Its time for the cake!" Stan yelled for them. Eva jumped slightly, the blush on her face darken. Aikka laughed at her jumping. He got up and held his hand down at Eva to help her up. "we should hurry back, or we'll miss the most fun part." Eva took his hand and stood. "yeah, we should." She is a bit sad letting go of his hand. They both walked back to the house.
As Eva and Aikka walked into the kitchen everyone started to sing happy birthday to Eva. Aikka not know the words just watch happily. As she blows out the candles and made her wish, everyone else clapping their hands. "Thank you everyone!" Eva watched as Don cut the cake into pieces.
It was late by the time everyone was done and now yawning. "Its late everyone should be heading to bed now." Don said, yawning himself. Stan and Koji got up and said their goodnights to them, Rick doing the same thing. While the three was heading up stairs, Don was making sure Aikka was comfortable on the couch. "Goodnight Aikka, Eva." Eva got up and gave Don a hug. "Goodnight and thank you so much dad, today was the best day ever." Don laughed and then turned into a yawn. He hugged back and said while walking up stairs. "You should be getting to bed as well, you have a big day tomorrow." Aikka got up. "He is right, goodnight princess." He used the same nickname he gave her on Alwas and Oban. Eva blushing at the name she nodded. "good night Aikka." She walked up stairs and into her room to go to bed.
Just as the sun touched the top of the hill, Aikka laid there on the couch surly awake, waiting. He heard foot steps right above him, knowing it was her. At every noise or step made his heart would skip a beat and is stomach would flutter. This feeling was new to him, but it was a good feeling. More noise was being made by the others in their rooms, he knew everyone was waking to see him and Eva off to Nourasia, where he was born and raised.
There were multiple footsteps coming down the stairs. Aikka sitting up watching everyone came down. He brightened even more when he saw Eva's wide smile on her face. They made eye contact, Eva had a slight blush on her cheeks. "Good morning Aikka!" Eva said excitedly. "Good morning Mol- eh, Eva." Aikka said standing up. Don making a cup of coffee in the kitchen yelled. "Get ready Aikka we are leaving in ten minutes or you two will miss the spaceship to your planet." Eva getting more exited went over to get her bags. Prince Aikka followed and took on of the bags from her. "May I?" He asked. His hand touch hers while grabbing a bag, Eva blushing said. "You may and thank you Aikka." Aikka looked at Eva and tried to say something, but Rick, Stan, and Koji came to say their good byes. "Sorry Eva, but we have to go back to work this morning." Stan placed a hand on Koji's shoulder. "It's all good," Eva said smiling at them. "Thank you for coming to see me on my birthday." She hugged them both. Koji laughed a lightly pushing his glasses back to where there supposed to be. "You welcome Eva." Stan said, then walked out the door with Koji, waving behind them at Eva. "Hey little mouse." Rick smirked at Eva. Eva laughed at the nickname Rick gave her on Alwas. "Thanks Rick, for coming to see me as well." Eva shoved him lightly, playingly. Rick laughed. "I have to go to, I am your dads second in hand after all. Good luck in Nourasia and have a safe flight." Rick said walking out the door and sat on his motor bike. "Also, Prince Aikka, take care of Eva, she is our only best pilot here on earth after all." Prince Aikka bowed. "I will always be by her side there." Eva blushed at Aikka. Rick laughed and speed off on his bike.
After a while of silence, though not awkward silence, Eva sighed and is tired of waiting for her dad. "DAD!? What is taking so long!?" She yelled by the door. Don walked into the hallway from the kitchen and headed to wear Eva and Aikka was waiting. "Now, now, im coming, let's go." He said while walking out the door and to his car. Aikka and Eva followed behind closely. Don and Eva got into the car, Aikka did the same and copied them on how to put the seatbelt on. "Ready everyone?" Don asked. Everyone nodded, the he drove off.
They passed several sceneries on the way to the space port, when Aikka noticed something about what he was seeing. He didn't really notice on the way to Eva's house, he was too excited to see Molly that day. His thought switched to her name, he had to figure out witch he wanted to call her, Molly, the name he first knew her as, or, Eva, her real name. "So, Molly?" He used the name he knew. She looked at Aikka and answered. "Yes Aikka." As he looked outside of the window. "I know I asked you this before, but what would you truly want me to call you, Eva, or Molly?" Eva looked up surprised. "Well…" Aikka looked at her intensely. "I want to know what YOU want me to call you." Eva grinned. "My real name, Eva." Aikka nodded at her answer. "Well, Eva-" Don interrupted. "We are here guys."
Don parked in the front parking lot, he tried to park closest to the door. They all got out of the car and started to walk toward the spaceport entrance. As the three was walking in Aikka was telling Eva the culture of the Nourasians. Don was talking to the desk service lady, asking for directions. They made way toward the right exit to where Don would last see Eva for a while. "Flight 223 is ready to leave." Eva looked at her dad and went up to hug him. "Thank you, dad, Ill contact you on Sunday!" Before Don could answer back Eva grabbed Aikka by the hand and dragged him to the transportation ship and walked up the steps, as she followed Aikka in it she stopped and turned, taking one last look at Earth. Her home disappeared as the ship's door closed.
A service lady showed Eva and Aikka to there sets. Eva shoved her bag in the compartment above her and set down next to Aikka. "Ok, welcome on Flight 223, place put your set belts on and lean back, you will be put to sleep for this flight." Voice said in the intercom. Eva looked nervously at Aikka. He laughed. "Its ok, its just like the temples from Oban." Eva relaxed at that. "Ok sleeping toxins will be coming out of the vents. Sleep well and have a wonderful dream." Just as he said that sleeping toxins started to come out of the vents. Eva started to get drowsy, just as she started to fall asleep, she felt warmth in her hand. She looked at what was in her hand and saw Aikkas hand in hers. She finally fell asleep with a blush on her cheeks.
Don watch the ship take off through the window of his car, worried about her daughter and preying to the creators for a save flight for them. His phones ringtone echoed in the silence in the car. Don answered his phone. "Hello?" A voice came through the phone. "Don Wei, its been a while since the last time we talked." Don was surprised at the voice. "Mr. President? Why are you calling me?" He asked. "Well…" The president cleared his throat. "As you heard the Nourasians no longer have an alliance with the Crogs." The president replied. "They want and alliance with us, now but they want to seal and alliance their way. The Crogs FORCED their alliance." Don was confused on why he called him about this. "And why does this have to do with me." The president laughed. "It has nothing to do with YOU, but Eva. They want their Prince to marry the Earth Princess, the winner of Oban." Don gasped. "Eva just left for Nourasia." The president was happy about this news. "Mr. President, when did you have contact with their king about this?" Don asked. "Just last night, why?" Don relaxed at the answer. "No reason, just asking. I'll let Eva know about this, but I will NOT force her to marry someone she doesn't love." Don hung up before the president could answer back.
Don sighed at the thought of Eva getting married at only 16 years old. He knew that Eva cared for the Prince, but how much does she care for him? With a zoom Don drove off in his car. Making to his racing hanger, he got out of his car. Spotting Rick he walked up the stairs into the office. "Rick come here." He called walking into his office, Rick following him and closing the door behind him. "What's up Don?" Don slouched into his chair and sighed. "The president called. He wants Eva to marry Prince Aikka for and alliance with the Nourasians." Under his sunglasses there was surprise in his eyes. "you know as much as I do Eva won't marry anyone she doesn't love." Rick said leaning on the wall. "I know, I know, but still, just the thought of her getting married at the age of 16. Its unthinkable!" Don exclaimed. Rick thought for a second. "Don don't worry, Eva will do what she wants to do and will not let anyone tell her different." Don only grunted as he looked out the window in his office.
