Anime: The Vision of Escaflowne
Title: Vision of Escaflowne...Epilogue: Part 1
Name: fufu berry


Here's what I think should have happened after Hitomi Kanzaki returns to earth...

"Hitomi, why so glum?" I asked, but I already knew the answer. She gazed longingly out the subway window and said "Oh Yukari, I just don't know what I'll do without him." as we stepped off the subway and onto the platform I tried to console her "Well look at it this way, at least you found your true love, it's not like me and Amano are doing so hot... c'mon Hitomi," I coaxed, "it's the third time this week, if you think that you're too good for the Earth, why don't you just live in that perfect planet without me forever?" I ran off in a mad blitz, knowing that I had made a fool out of myself.

I raced up the stairs in onto the street, the sky had already begun to turn red and the fall breeze swept past me making my tears cold as soon as they left my eyes. In the distance I could hear Hitomi calling my name and I really wished that she wouldn't follow me, but I knew she would catch up soon 'Always the better athlete.' I thought to myself. I sharply veered to the park, hoping that, like in the movies, she would lose track. I lost my breath and knew that I'd have to go through yet another embarrassing situation. "Yukari!" Hitomi shouted. "No need to yell, you know you'll catch up." I panted miserably. "Yukari, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for forgetting that you're my friend and that you need me too. Its just that- I really miss him." she suddenly broke down and sobbed. 'Geez, she must really love him' I thought. "I'm sorry too Hitomi. He must be a wonderful person for you to love him so much. The truth is, me and Amano broke up." I looked down with shame. "What?" said Hitomi in shock. "It happened a few days ago. I just couldn't tell you because I threw away something you wanted so badly, I was jealous. When I see you, constantly thinking of that Van guy, I can just imagine he's doing the same. I want that Hitomi, I want for me and Amano to be just like that." Hitomi's questioning eyes subsided and said " I guess I'm pretty lucky to have that with Van." "No," I said suddenly, "Hitomi, you and Van, you guys should be together", I grasped her shoulders to let her know how serious I was. "Hitomi, go back to Gaia" I said firmly. "But..." She looked down with hesitance. "Make another beam of light. You've done it before, you can do it again. Come on Hitomi, just concentrate. Van." Hitomi took in a deep breath through closed eyes. Suddenly, a bright light appeared. "This is too freaky." I said, exasperated. A goodbye sentiment was about to leave my mouth but before I knew it, I made a giant leap and grabbed onto Hitomi's shoe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Ah yes, once more, Nike saves the day' I thought as I marveled at her brand new shoes. "Yukari! What do you think you're doing?!" She yelled down at me. "Well," I yelled back, "remember the day before you left, you promised me a different dessert everyday of the week? You came back and never got around to doing it so I'm calling that favor in now. Take me to Gaia. If you don't wanna, you can just drop me off here." I grinned and knew that Hitomi was rolling her eyes at me. 'Heh, heh,' I thought, ' that'll be sure to worry Amano'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I knew it, the ride was over. "Its not so strange." I said coolly, "and you can't see the Earth from here. I'm beginning to question your powers Hitomi." I added cynically. "Well of course you can't see the Earth, It's daytime!" she said, "and wait'll you see the people here!" and raced towards a huge castle calling out Van's name.

Well, hope you enjoyed this. If you did, don't worry, there's more to come!

Before I go on, I just want to say that I personally very much enjoyed the ending of The Vision of Esca. I just wanted to write something that involved some of the supporting characters and to have something to do in my spare timeJ. Heck, I wouldn't change it for the world!

Oh yes, before any of you guys make a move, I don't own The Vision of Escaflowne, or any of its components. Isn't it sad?
