************Rune's dream

A 13yr old Rune is running on a treadmill with machines hooked up to her, her sister Nimes is sitting on a table letting a woman in a nurses uniform take her blood. (A.N. In the one ch. Where Nimes blew up their home town, I should have said that they were 12 in that dream.) The woman stands up and turns to Rune. "I'm surprised you and your family survived that attack on Ray City last year, its unfortunate your parents died yesterday," The woman said. "I hope you understand these tests are to make sure your healthy, we don't want two sick girls in that orphanage do we now?" The woman asked. Rune smiled a sad smile. "I guess not, but, haven't I ran enough by now?" She asked. "Oh yes, you have," The woman said and walked over and cut the treadmill off, then she unhooked Rune from the machines. "O.K. Now sweetie, its your turn." She said looking at Nimes. Nimes stood up and walked over, she hopped onto the treadmill and allowed herself to be hooked up. The woman walked over to Rune and tied off her arm, she pulled out an unused needle and started to take blood. "My names Kristen Thompson. Kristen looked to be around 20. She had short curly light brown hair and her eyes were a light and kind blue. What's yours?" Kristen asked them. "Rune Cannon." Rune said. "Avalon Cannon, we're twins, but I'm guessing you know that." Nimes said sharply. "That I did." Kristen said. Suddenly Vash appeared in the room and started poking Rune in the head.

********In the desert, near Inepril City

Rune sat bolt upright knocking Vash over who was closer than he needed to be to her face. She rubbed her face where it had obviously connected with Vash's, you could tell by the fact he was rubbing his face too. Rune simply shook her head and stood up stretching. Vash looked up at her before standing up too. She glanced at him before yawning. "I blame you." She said and then Vash asked. "For what?" Rune yawned again the said. "For my weird dream, you were in it." Vash perked up. "You had a dream about me?!" He asked smiling. "It wasn't a nice dream, you poked me in the head, hard." Rune mumbled and Vash frowned. She saw him frown. "Cheer up or I'll be forced to recite something I read." She said. (Hey that rhymed!) "What'd you read?" Vash asked her. She started walking in the general direction of Inepril City. He followed. "Trust me, you don't wanna know it Vash." Rune said. "No, I do, that's why I asked." Vash replied. "Fine, but your not gonna like it, your not gonna like it at all." She said and then cleared her throat. "This girl was skipping down the road when she slipped and fell into the street, a sand worm came up out of the street and devoured her bones and flesh and all that was left was a disgusting heap of blood and guts." She finished there because she couldn't remember the rest. "You read stuff that disgusting?" Vash asked. 'Damn me and my damn mouth!' Rune yelled at herself. "Well, um..uhhh."Rune just closed her eyes and turned away from Vash, her thoughts had zipped straight to the fight she and her sister had had over that one episode, Rem Saverem. She'd continued walking. "Where are we going anyway?" She asked him. "Um, Inepril City, why?" Vash asked. Rune stopped dead in her tracks and started giggling as her thought shot back to Vash being chased by the whole city for four whole hours. The next thing she knew Vash had picked her up and slung her over his shoulder again, she immediately stopped giggling, but, she didn't complain either, she was tired, so, she just relaxed and tried to enjoy the ride. 'Ya know, this wouldn't be so bad if his hand wasn't on my butt.' She thought, and then she went to sleep.

**********Nimes

Nimes was sitting on a chair near what looked like a computer screen composed of light, as the screen wasn't solid. She was typing on a keyboard similar to the screen. "Ah, its good to see my research again." She said as she accessed her computer back home through the one she was on, it was easy to tell she was obsessed with Knives, everything on her computer was made up of his face. She clicked on a file and it opened up into a huge mass of research, all on plants, and no, not flowers. She smiled as she slid the scroll down to the bottom, she started typing everything she'd learned on this new planet.

********Flashback! (Rune's)

An 11yr old Rune walked over to Nimes' computer on her side of the room. She shuddered at the screen saver and moved the mouse, when the screen saver disappeared Rune screamed at the top of her lugs and tripped over the chair and flipped over Nimes' bed then tripped over something, stumbled over her bed and landed in her computer chair panting. She pointed across the room at her sisters computer and screamed. "SHE'S OBSESSED!" Then she looked over at her computer which was still on screen saver, it showed Vash doing the whole 'Love and Peace!' scene. "Oh yea, so'm I." And with that she walked back over to her sisters computer, she looked at a pic on the screen of Knives in what looked like a calm state, she the slapped herself upside the head for a weird thought that came into her head, she opened a file and smirked at the research, she inserted a disk into the computer and downloaded it. She closed the file and stood up, she pocketed the disk and walked downstairs humming Sound Life. She walked into the kitchen and sat down, she opened the box of donuts infront of her and started to eat them.

**********End Flashback

Rune sat down at a table across from Vash. "I'm not hungry." She stated for the last time as he started to eat, she looked over her shoulder and started to count in her head. '3.2.1' Then she ducked under the table right as bullets started flying. When they stopped, she climbed out from under the table and looked at Vash lying face down on the floor with red liquid surrounding him. The men who shot at him started laughing. "We shot Vash the Stampede." One guy laughed. Rune bent down over Vash's head. "Vash, stop being an idiot and sit up." She told him, one guy grabbed her shoulder, "He's dead, look, he ain't moving and there's blood." He said. Rune swatted his hand off her shoulder. Suddenly Vash's head popped up, and he sat up. Rune stood back up to smiling. Vash looked down at his coat. "Awwww, your gonna pay for the dry cleaning ya know." He said. They guys all pointed and started saying something around the lines of 'B-b-b-b-b-but y-y-y-your.' Vash held up the broken ketchup bottle. Rune started giggling. Vash looked at her. "Don't make me." He started but she stopped giggling immediately. They guys just ran out. Vash got all smiley again. Rune shook her head and sat down at a new table.

*****30 minutes later

Vash and Rune were running from the entire town, but currently only a small section knew where they were. "Vash." Rune said. "Yea?!" He asked dodging a couple bullets and turning a corner. There was a long pause. "Remind me to kill you if they don't." She said. "Why!?" Vash whined. "Because, your the one who got me into this." She said and turned a different direction than he did.

*********End chapter

I cut it short. I'm bored. I need work. *squirms some more trying to get Vash to let go* R&R! And Vash the Stampede. Be nice in your reviews, or else I'll just send the new chapters in e-mails to the nice people and tell them not to let you see them. FF.NET WAS BROKE! It was making all the chapters uploaded at the time look weird. So stop yelling at me! Or.or.or.I'll do what I said I would! *realizes something and smiles* Yay, I know how to escape! Vash: How?
