" When Destiny Leads You to your Fate"
" Hitomi. Hitomi. Hitomi? Ms. Kanzaki!" The Trigonometry teacher called. Hitomi was looking out the window thinking about something else. She doesn't hear the teacher. "Ms. Kanzaki Hitomi! Are you paying attention?" The teacher was furious. " Wha… what? Oh, sorry. What was the question again?" She was surprised. " The question is, 'The circle x2 +y2 = a2 and the straight line y = mx + b will intersect in two points, be tangent, or not intersect, depending upon whether the solutions of this system of equations are real and distinct, real and equal, or imaginary. Find the value of b in terms of a and m so that the straight line will be tangent to the circle.' Do you have an answer to this certain question?" "Umm… the value of b is…" She stares at her blank notebook. "Umm…" She takes a deep breath. " Ms. Uchida please help Ms Kanzaki over here. Ms. Kanzaki take you seat and please pay attention" Yukari answers. " b is equal to positive negative a square route of one plus m square." "Very good Ms. Uchida." The bell rings. "That is all for today class." She leaves the classroom as Yukari approaches her friend. "What happened to you back there? You used to know these things." "I must be having a bad day, that's all." "Well, did you check your schedule already? Amano will be coming here any minute right now." She reminds her friend. "Oh yeah, Amano! I forgot all about it." She says with a sigh. "Hitomi! How could you?! Well, What are you going to tell him now, 'Oh, sorry Amano, I forgot to check my schedule', or maybe… "Okay Yukari! I'll tell him that I'm free. Besides, were only half day on a Saturday." She answers. "Hitomi, you're forgetting something." They start walking. "What is that Yukari?" "Hitomi, its Saturday today. And Trigonometry was our last subject? We're going home now, remember?" "Oh! Sorry." "Oh Hitomi, please try and put yourself together today." A voice came from behind. Yes it is. It was Amano. "So, are you free?" "Yes, certainly Amano." "Very well then, meet me in the tower, wearing your best dress, at around five." He tells them. "Later?" Yukari asks him. "Why is there a problem?" "No I was just surprised. You are listening are you Hitomi?" "What? Oh, later, tower, five o'clock, wear best dress. Right?" "Whoa! For the first time you answered correctly! Congratulations Hitomi!" Yukari teases. "You're right Yukari!" Amano tells her.
The three friends walked happily together with Hitomi actively conversing with them. This went on until they separated from each other. And since Hitomi was alone, she started thinking about… "I wonder how they are doing in Gaea." She flips her arms, gives them a good stretch and places them right behind her head. "Oh, I worry to much. I know that they are doing just fine without me there. Especially Merle. Oh how I miss her. You know, that tail, those stripes, that peach hair, those big ears. She may be annoying, but I miss her. And what about … Van? Guess he's king of Fanelia now. He's such a… wait what am I saying? But Van is so…so… Never mind. Okay, I have been thinking about this ever since I woke up early in the morning. But what's with… I can't get it out of my mind! I better get going." She runs towards home. It still can't get out of her mind. "Why am I thinking about this?" She asks herself. "Is that how much I treasure Gaea/Fanelia? Or maybe I'm just worried or curios? Well, I think I have to rest for a while and all of these will disappear."
While she slept comfortably in her bed, she dreamt about this certain person. Her dream was very realistic. "Hello Hitomi. We haven't seen each other for a long time. And you haven't changed a bit. You still look the same." Hitomi then answers, "Are you who I think it is? Is that really you? You look so…so elegant in that kind of clothing!" "I do? Well, I'm pretty flattered with what you said. Thank you." The person says. "So, what have you been doing these days?" Hitomi asks. "Nothing really. I just help out, that's all." "You help whom out?" "Oh, anyone who needs help. But usually I stay with Millerna and help out the sick." "Really? I never knew that. This was the only time I had a vision of Fanelia again. Maybe that's the reason." "You're right. We should talk more often. We should get to know each other more." "I see. You're right though. I've been worrying and wondering about you all morning." "Really Hitomi? Well, there's nothing to worry about. I'll be just fine, don't worry." "Oh, okay. Well, I guess I'll have to go. I have to check what time it is or I'll be late for some surprise." "Just remember Hitomi, at twelve midnight later, someone will be visiting you. Wait for that person." "I got it. Goodbye now!" "Goodbye Hitomi! Good luck!"
Hitomi wakes up. "Good luck? What does she mean by good luck?" She checks the clock. "Three thirty?! That's how long I slept?! Oh dear, I have to fix myself up now!" While she does, that line still bothers her mind.
