I don't own Escaflowne Wahhhhhhhhh. Sniff Sniff

Prolog

Hitomi was walking to her apartment. She was thinking of Van ((of course)) her eyes were clouded and she looked dreamy. Her hair had grown to her shoulders in the past two years but her emerald green eyes were still the very same.

She wore her white tank top with silver feathers in a trail on the front and her dark blue jeans that also had silver feathers falling from the top. 'Van's got me hocked on feathers. I wonder what he's doing right now?' Hitomi thought. She got a replay that she wasn't expecting.

She heard Van's voice in her head, he said 'Listening to your thoughts.'

The Silver world

Chapter 1 I missed you

'Van how are you? How did you do that?' she asked in her head, her excitement was overwhelming as an enormous grin spread across her lips. She'd stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and was looking up towards the invisible planet of Gaea.

'I'm fine, how are you? You mean speak to you in your mind? I don't know I just really wanted to talk to you and then I heard your thoughts and well here I am talking to you in your head.' He said his voice seeming echoy and far away. On Gaea he watched the earth, thinking of where Hitomi was on it's glittering surface.

'I'm okay but I umm uh really missed you and…' Hitomi paused could she tell him she loved him then and there in her mind. No, she couldn't, she desided, she'd wait until she could see him again, however long it may be.

'And what?' Van asked a slightly arrogant tone in his mental voice.

'I… never mind, all I meant to say was that I really missed.' Hitomi smiled to him, the warmth of her love seemed to enwrap Van on Gaea and he smiled too.

'Oh okay, I really missed you too. I wish you could come here.' Van said. And just like that Hitomi was engulfed in the column of light and was whisked away to Gaea.

On Gaea

Van saw the column of light and was running to it as fast as he could. He saw a figure fall to the ground. It was Hitomi, her hair was pooled around her in a soft golden halo. 'Man, does she ever look different.' He thought but he knew he liked what he saw.

Hitomi looked up and to see Van face she smiled and exclaimed happily "Van!" Van almost got knocked over by Hitomi as she glomped him like Merle always did. ((except the licking of the face -)) Van didn't fall, instead he wrapped his arms around her waist. Laughing happily he held her close.

"It's good to see you too Hitomi," he said in between laughs, his face glowing with happiness. Hitomi kissed he right then and there. Van was a bit shocked at first but he kissed her back, it seemed natural to him as their soft lips met and held. They showed the most passionate love with their kiss and they kissed until they were both out of breath, trying to keep that moment forever.

"I love you, Van Salazar De Fanel," Hitomi whispered in his ear as she caught her breath.

"As do I," Van said while going in for another kiss and getting his request.

After Van and Hitomi's reunion

Van and Hitomi walked through the castle, it's stone walls seeming friendly with Van beside her while alone they would've seemed cold. "Is Fanallia finished Van?" Hitomi asked her emerald eyes looking up to his.

"Yes. But all of my advisers say it needs a queen and they have been bugging me for ages," Van said sighing, he ran a hand through his unruley hair.

"Can I see Merle and everyone else like Millerna, Allen, The Crew of the Crusade, Chid?" Hitomi wanted to know, her voice was hopeful.

"Yes I thought that we could have a ball in your honor and we'd invite everyone," Van smiled as he saw Hitomi's face light up.

"Everyone. Yeah. It will be so much fun but I don't have a dress," Hitomi said.
