Chapter- Thinking Time.

"Damnit, I'm running out of time." said Van to himself.

"Hey King Vanel!" said Allen, bashing into his room. "Hmmm. No Hitomi this time eh? Maybe she needed a break." he laughed.

"Oh shut up." Van said.

"Hahahahaha. That was good laugh at the windmill. I'm glad Milerna's mine!" the blonde said.

"Very funny."

"VAN SAMA! YOU ARE SUCH A SCREW UP! YOU SHOULD OF TOLD HITOMI WHILE SHE WAS ON TOP OF YOU!" shouted Merle coming into Van's room.

"Merle? How did you know..?"

"I was the one who pushed her on top of you, of course."

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!" Van shouted. Allen was clapping his hands.

"Bravo Merle!" Allen clapped as Merle took a bow.

"Damnit you guys! This is MY buisness, leave it to me God!" Van shouted.

"But, Van you're such a coward. We know you want to ask her out and make out with her." said Allen.

"Van-sama! BAKA! You always screw up, why don't we let Allen tell Hitomi for you!" said Merle.

"Good idea!" as Allen started for the door, then out of nowhere a sword went passed Allen, against the door. Allen was smiling." We were joking, Van! haha!"

Van clenched his fist, and went to the door to take out his sword. All red in the face, while Allen and Merle were laughing.

"Ok Van-sama, when are you going to ask Hitomi out? So you can be her boyfriend!!!"

"Yeah, Van. When are you gonna ask her out?" asked Allen. "You're scrawny but I'm sure she'll like you!"

"HEY!" said Van. (author: I'm totally into Van, ok? I love the guy! hee ^_^)

"Well, you are.....just joking!' said Merle the second Van took out his sword. "When ARE you gonna ask her out?"

"OUT OF MY ROOM! NOW!" shouted Van.

"Come on Van, when are you gonna tell her? So I can get Milerna!" said Allen.

"OUT!"

"Van, just tell us when! Please! We ALL have to see this!" asked Merle with a laugh.

Van pushed Allen and Merle out of the room.

"OUT ALREADY! YOU GUYS ARE AS BAD AS FOLKEN!"

"Folken-sama?" said Merle.

"Merle, I'll tell you outside. Come on." said Allen.

"Ok....O Van! Kissy kissy!" as her head left the room.

"GOD!" said Van, as he ruffled his hair, making it look more messy. "I'm really running out of time here. I have Folken, Allen, Merle and maybe Milerna on my shoulders. When am I gonna ask her?"

Van thought for hours and hours that it was starting to get dark.

::knock knock::

Van looked up at thr door. Hitomi was there.

"Van?" she came in.
