Fiona certantly had a way of finding the most elegant resturants. And Van thought he liked food....
Fiona had led him to the towns best resturant, The Seashore Grill. It was a rather nice place, decorated with an almost wooden pirate ship look. It was not very busy, the moment the walked in they were able to get a nice seat, one that had a window overlooking the lake. As always the lake seemed to be like a mirror, reflecting everythin from being almost unaturally still. The tables were nothing fancy, round wooden one's, yet it completed the atmosphere. Van and Fiona took their seats across from each other. Fiona spoke.
"Van, I hope this food will help you relax. Besides, you are going to need your energy anyway!"
Van smiled to himself. For some reason he couldn't stop thinking about the particualr flying papaya incident on Mt. Isolena. Fiona seemed to guess what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they don't sell flying papayas here!" Fiona said.
They both laughed. It felt good. He didn't know when they would laugh again.
"Don't worry Van, order as much as you like. Money isn't a problem, since they are giving you everything for free after saving the world and all." Fiona said, trying to flag down a waiter to ask for a glass of water.
"I guess that is kinda cool huh" Van said, his mind finally lifting from the topic of Crow. He ordered just a glass of water too.
The next time the waitor came around they placed their orders. Van ordered a platter of shrimp and streak, while Fiona ordered salmon steak. They also ordered a plate of crablegs to share. The food was exceptionally good, they weren't sure if that was because it really was good or just they were starving. Although the food was good, both really cherished the conversation the most. Over dinner they talked about the good times, the bad times of their adventure. They talked about when he had just broken her out of the capsule, how funny she was because she couldn't remember much. They talked about when the first met Irvine, how Van always yelled at him for wanting to take Zeke. There reminiscing coninued to Moonbay, to meeting Doctor D, Raven, all the people they met inbetween and finally sucessfully coronating Rudolf as Emperor, the latest event in their journey. Van took another sip of his water and looked out on the lake. In a few minutes the sun would begin to set. Fiona took her final spoonful from her dish of strawberry icecream. Van looked at Fiona again. He decided. Tonight would be the night.
"Hey, Fiona, wanna go outside and watch the sunset?" Van asked cooley.
"Oh, sure I'd love to!" Fiona replied.
The two walked out of the resturant, not without a couple of handshakes for Van. Van wasn't sure whether to like the attention or not......
They passed by the repair bay on the way out to the lake. The Blade liger was coming along well, Van decided. It looked like it would be done in time. Zeke aws still there, trying to aid the process. That was ok. He just wanted to be with Fiona for now. They soon left the city boarders and began to walk across the lake, looking for a clearing in the trees where they could rest. AFter a few minutes of walking the found a nice spot, that gave a wonderful view of the sunset. Van, varrying a blanket, unrolled it and set it down on the grass. He motioned for Fiona to sit down. She happily oblidged. For a few moments, the two just sat side by sie and watched the sun in silence. Van was finally ready, and decided to break the silence.
"Fiona..." Van said, turning towards her.
"Yeah?" Fiona replied, likewise turning.
"Fiona, threre's something I need to tell you, and I've been putting it off for a while. You've been with me since the beginning of our quest, and you have been the one that has held the most hope and believed in me the most. Fiona, I love you................." Van said, not sure whether to keep his eye's open our not, praying silently for a positive answer.
Fona just looked at Van for a moment. Then with her usual cheerful suddeness she replied as well.
"Van, I love you too. I've been putting it off as well. I care deeply for you, more tha anyone else on this planet." Fiona said, still holding a feeble smile, hoping she hadn't embarrased herself.
Van couldn't have heard a better answer. Both blushing, neather could think of anything to say, so instead the just pulled close to each other and embraced. It was a beatiful scene, the two new lovers embracing by the last light of the sun, casting a orange/purple glow on them. Van was begining to realize exactly what true love felt like. The warm feeling of love that he usually got seemed to well inside of him, it was happiness beyond joy, beyond words to describe it. They pulled apart, still holding each other, both gazing into the other's eyes, this time the eys full of love and warmth.
"So should we.." Fiona started, Van, guessing her thoughts, finishing "kiss?"
They both nodded, both blushing extremely red. Van pulled her close to him and with some degree of trial and error their lips finally met. It was the most wonderful thing that had every happened in their lives. They both were runnong out of breath but neither could pull away, not that they wanted to anyway. Van loved the sweet fragrance of her hair, felt indescribably happy with her close to him, being able to feel her heartbeat. They gave up trying to sit up and just lied down, still continuing the embrace and kiss which seemed like it would last forever. The sun was almost completly down now, and the moon was starting to illuminate the clearing. The stars were shining bright, and a light rain started to fall. The continued to kiss untill they both were incapable anymore, and fell asleep lying in each other's arms.
-next morning-
Van was happy beyond words. Wouldn't his sister have a fit if she knew that he had kissed someone! It seemed that nothing could dampen his spirits, untill he was pulled back into reality by a phone call from Doctor D.
"Hey! What news have you got now, Gramps?" Van said, not willing for his mood to be spoiled by the danger they were in.
"Van, you love Fiona, correct?" The doctor said, looking serious again.
"Um..how did you know tha....." Van was cut off.
"Well when you've ben alive as long as I have you begin to notice these sorts of things." The doctor laughed insanely again. He coughed to clear his throught.
"Well, anyway Van, you must not let Fiona out of your sight!" He said sternly.
"Why..?" Van questioned.
"Think about it. Crow is the exact opposite of you, and warps all things you consider good. So what's the opposite of true love?"
Van paused for a second to let it all sink in.
".......lust...."
