Well, I finished watching the series in Japanese…I cried my eyes out. It is a masterpiece!!! I can't wait to see the movie, which I hope to attain one day. *Sigh* Anyhoo, this is my first attempt at a Tenkuu no Escaflowne fic so be E-Z! Onegai, r/r! Arigato.
WARNINGS: Escaflowne don't belong to me, sadly… and be prepared for endless sap (in further parts)! Oh yeah, and a teeny bit of spoilers…
Tenshi no Hoshi
(Angel of the Stars)
"Van-sama, if you sit in that seat any longer, you'll begin to grow cobwebs around you! Are you listening?!"
The little cat girl was waving her hands wildly in front of the dreaming prince, who wasn't aware of his surroundings.
"VAN-SAMA!!!"
He bolted up from the seat and a startled look covered his face. "Nani?"
"Oi, Van-sama. You haven't been the same since Hitomi left…Van-sama, I've known you since we were little, but sometimes I feel like we hardly know each other." Merle had a sad look on her face. Van was starting to feel guilty, but Hitomi wouldn't leave his head…He silently cursed himself.
"You look a little pale; daijobu?" Merle asked. She gently placed her hand on his forehead.
"Hai, ju-just a little tired."
"VAN-SAMA! YOU'RE BURNING UP! ONEGAI, KAMI-SAMA! HELPPP!" Merle cried out.
"Merle, daijobu. I'm going to rest. Please wake me up in a few hours."
"Hai…Van-sama…"
Van feebly sat down on his huge bed. He pulled out Hitomi's pendant from under his shirt and stared at it. His eyes became teary and he couldn't hold them back. They spilled down his cheeks and Van quickly wiped them away. He really did love her and he also missed her presence. He safely tucked the pendant away and laid down. Soon enough, his eyes closed and Van was in a world of dreams…

- Meawhile, on Earth…
"Hitomi! Hurry up!"
A shorthaired girl sprinted down the street and almost ran into her friend, Yukari. They were supposed to meet and hour ago and Hitomi was really late. She forgot to set her alarm clock, so now their schedule was totally off.
"Gomen…na…sai," Hitomi gasped in between breaths.
"Well, c'mon! Amano is waiting at the ice-cream parlor!" The two sped off. It was true that when Hitomi left, Amano and Yukari started dating and now they were going steady. Hitomi didn't really care after her experience in Gaea. In fact, she was happy for Yukari and Amano. She and Yukari ran into the parlor and sat at the table were Amano was.
"Konnichiwa, Hitomi." Amano greeted.
"Konnichiwa." Hitomi said back.
Yukari sat next to Amano and across from Hitomi. The two lovers gave a gentle, kiss which made Hitomi kind of uncomfortable. Being there with nobody that special…She brushed the hair from her eyes and ordered a strawberry daiquiri.
"Amano, I never got to ask you, why didn't you move? I thought that your father was relocated to England or somewhere?" Hitomi questioned curiously.
"Well, he was but he found another job offer here that had the same benefits, so he decided to stay."
"Excuse me, here is your daiquiri and here are your fries."
"Arigato." Hitomi said politely.
She stirred her drink. The redness of the strawberry reminded her of Van's shirt. She never really realized how much she loved him until she left and now without her pendant, it was nearly impossible to go back to Gaea. What were the options…?
Later, at about 7:00…
"Ja ne, Hitomi. See you tomorrow!"
Yukari and Amano headed in the opposite directions from Hitomi. She strolled home slowly, the sun was sinking, and the stars were appearing throughout the sky.
When she reached her house, she kicked off her shoes and crawled up to her room. The days seemed to go by so slowly now. Hitomi stared at the ceiling for awhile, hoping that she was having a dream and would wake up with Van next to her. She abruptly sat up
"I know! I'll ask my tarot cards for the answer! Kanzaki Hitomi, you're a genius!" she bragged to herself.
She flipped through her duffel bag…and then her drawers…and soon everywhere through the house.
"Eh…? Where is it?"
Hitomi gave up the search. She decided to take a bath and then turn in, after all, there was still school the next day…(After the shower) She stepped out of the shower and dried her hair. After that, she hit the sack and also joined Van in the world of dreams…
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
*In the happy, little dream world…*
"Where am I?" Hitomi asked. She slowly got up and scanned the area around her. "Gaea…?"
What will happen in THEIR dream? Well, the sap is coming…soon…onegai, r/r. Arigato!
