Fionna rested her head upon her knees, watching as Moonbay made
dinner for tonight. Irvine was off doing something by himself. In the
distance she could see Van and Zeke, goofing around…playing around like the
great friends they were. Her eye sight lingered on the best friends.
Moonbay happened to glance up from the boiling pot, and noticed Fionna's
lingering…almost longing gaze set at Van.
" Thinking of anything special?" Moonbay asked, jolting Fionna's attention back to the campfire.
" Umm…No, not really." Fionna's face turned a light shade of pink as she looked at the ground.
Moonbay smiled, " Not really, huh?"
Twirling the spoon in the pot, Moonbay took a moment to taste her creation, smiling with satisfaction. The fire crackled once or twice, as Fionna casually looked over at Van again.
" You should tell him, you know."
Fionna looked at Moonbay again, " Hmmm…tell him what?"
" You know, how you feel about him. Wouldn't want you waiting till it's too late…"
" What do you mean? How I feel about him? Too late?"
Moonbay grinned, " Oh you know, I think he really had a thing for that girl we met in town today…"
" Oh…you think so? I…I didn't really notice." Her pale eyes glanced again, at the ground.
" Sure you didn't. Like I said before…wouldn't want you to wait till it was too late to tell him how you feel." Moonbay took another sip of the hot soup before continuing. " Do you get what I'm tryin to say?"
Suddenly, Fionna's face had a grim look of determination on it, as she nodded to Moonbay. It was almost as if she were going to fight the strongest zoid all by herself. She stood slowly, and started the short walk to where Van and Zeke lay looking at the stars. Her mind wandered to the day she first met Van…
**************************
just a day, just an ordinary day.
just tryin' to get by…
just a boy just, an ordinary boy,
but he was looking to the sky and
as he asked if I could come along,
I started to realize…
that every day he finds just what he's looking for,
and like a shooting star he shines, and he said,
"Take my hand, live while you can,
don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand."
****************************
Since that day…I've changed, so much. I've changed because of him…I've changed for the better. Fionna knew she would not have gotten so far in her journey if it weren't for Van. He'd done so much for her to help her get on her way. She sat down next to Van who's eyes were closed, thinking about things she guessed. Zeke, looked at Fionna, somehow realizing why she was here. Slowly, Zeke stood and walked back to the campfire, where Moonbay sat watching.
Fionna took a deep breath. Ways of saying how she felt ran through her head like water rushing out from a faucet. She couldn't put her finger on just the right one, like she couldn't put catch the right drop just as it flew by. Van's eyes opened slowly, and he jumped at the sight of Fionna.
Laughing he sat up, " Man Fionna…I didn't even know you were there! You sure know how to sneak up on a person."
Fionna gave him a small smile, before turning her head to look up at the stars. The dark sky blanketing around them. Van noticed Fionna looked a little distracted and maybe even nervous.
"Is…something the matter?"
She looked at him, " No…no, I was just thinking of all that we've been through. I wonder what would have happened to me if we never met."
Van shook his head quickly, " Hey, no way! Don't even think about that…I mean we were destined to meet weren't we?"
Fionna smiled, turning to look off into the distance. She couldn't help but think about it, even though it scared her more than fighting in any battle that lie ahead.
******************
and as he spoke, he spoke, ordinary words
though they did not feel
for I felt what I had not felt before
and you'd swear those words could heal and
as I looked up into those eyes, his vision borrows mine
and I know he's no stranger
for I feel I've held him for all of time, and he said
" Take my hand, live while you can,
don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand."
****************
" Van…you've done so much for me. I never would have gotten so far, or met so many wonderful new friends if it weren't for you…and our friendship is something I treasure more than almost anything else."
He glanced at her, his mind taking in what she said. Van was surprised when she said it, he never really expected to hear anything like this. And he didn't know what to think of it. Fionna brought her knees to her chest.
" Really? You really think all of that?" He asked, turning to stare at her.
Fionna shook her head, putting her hand on his shoulder, " No, I don't think it…I can feel it….I…I know it."
**************
please come with me, see what I see
touch the stars for time will not flee
time will not flee, can't you see…
**************
Fionna hesitated, she was so close to telling him… Moonbay knew best didn't she? If she thought it was time then… But her fear kept her from speaking again, as she traced her finger around in the dust. Sighing, she looked over at Van again, the twinkle of the stars accenting his eyes. Someday I'll tell him, someday…I really will.
*************
just a day, just an ordinary day
just tryin' to get by
just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but
he was looking to the sky
