Chapter Five
"Fountains."
"Let them wait!" Van whispered softly against Hitomi's lips before once again taking them with his in passionate kiss.

"So, how long do you think they'll take?" Celena asked.
Everyone looked at her as if she had just asked the dumbest question in the world.(Which she did if you ask me!)
"I think we have a lot of time to sort things out." Allen said.
"They better not take too long!" Melerna stated.
"Why not?" Allen asked.
"Because our wedding is tomorrow and we need to leave for Asturia today so we can get some rest before the ceremony." Melerna explained.
"WHAT?!" Allen asked with wide eyes, looking at Melerna.
"Oh, did I forget to tell you?" Melerna asked innocently.
"Yes, you did forget to tell me." Allen commented.
"Oh, sorry dear." Melerna said as she gave Allen a kiss. "I could have sworn I told you, oh well, I'm so sorry sweet-heart." Melerna said as she grabbed his arm and walked along side of him.
"Making sure he doesn't have time to back out, aren't you Melerna?" Chris asked.
"You bet!" Melerna exclaimed.
"I'm in trouble!" Allen stated.
The whole group began to laugh, including Allen and Melerna.
"What, are you afraid Allen will go after the young girl from the mystic moon again?" The mole man asked in his usual tone.
"That's not even funny!" Both Allen and Melerna screamed in unison.
"Yeah everyone here knows that Allen loves her like a sister and nothing more." Merle stated. "Plus, he wouldn't stand a chance against Lord Van!" Merle added.
"He could stand a chance against Van!" Melerna defended her husband to be.
"Not in the love category." Merle stated.
"If you mean taking Hitomi away from Van you're right. I mean, their love grew and survived in a war, their love also saved this world. I doubt one heavenly knight could stand in the way of that." Melerna commented.
"I'm glad they are finally together." Allen said. "Speaking of Hitomi, you need to invite her to the wedding." Allen added.
"Correction, I need to let her know she's the maid of honor." Melerna corrected.
"You've been forgetting to tell a lot of people a lot of things, haven't you?" Allen asked.
"Hey is there anything else you're forgetting?" Merle asked.
"Um… You're a bride's maid, your dress is all ready. Let's see…"
"I'm a bride's maid?! Thank you Melerna!" Merle squealed as she squeezed Melerna's waist.
"Anytime Merle! Can you let me breath now?!" Melerna asked in a breathless voice. (I wonder why? *^_^*)
"Oh, sorry." Merle said sincerely.
"It's ok. Now, let's see…Van's the best man, but that's already been discussed." Melerna said.
"Yeah, because I chose him." Allen commented. "I actually tell the people." Allen added.
"Hey, let's sit down next to the fountain." Celena suggested.
"Yeah, it's right in the middle of the garden." Allen agreed.
"Would you like to sit next to the fountain Chid?" Chris asked the young boy on his back.
"Yes, Fanellia has beautiful gardens and even more beautiful fountains." Chid answered.
"Have you ever noticed how most of the fountains in the area are of two lovers?" Celena asked.
"I believe Lord Van had something to do with that." Merle stated. "Though it reminded him of Hitomi when she was still so far away, he liked the thought that they might be like that one day." Merle added.
"That's so sweet!" Celena commented.

Three hours later…
"What's taking them so long?! I'd like to leave for home sometime today!" Melerna screamed.
"Calm down. Now what else has happened while Hitomi has been gone?" Allen asked.
The whole lot of them all spoke up at once about events that have taken place.

1 Back in the dinning hall Hitomi sits on the floor with Vans head on her lap, looking up at her, his body lying at her side.
"More grapes?" Hitomi asked Van while holding a bunch of grapes above his mouth.
Van smiled. "Yes please." Van replied
"As you wish." Hitomi said as she plucked a grape from the bunch and lightly placed it in Van's mouth.
"Um…yum." Van said as he caught Hitomi's finger gently with his teeth.
"Hey, no fair I'm not on the menu." Hitomi said in protest.
"I'm not quite sure what a menu is but…" Van started as he sat up and took Hitomi into his arms. "If it has something to do with taste, then your wrong." Van said as he kissed Hitomi.
"Are you full?" Hitomi asked.
"It depends on what you mean by that." Van clarified.
"Are you ready to go to the garden? They're probably worried that we might have fainted again or something." Hitomi explained.
Van sighed. "Very well. Let's be off." Van said as he got up and helped Hitomi to her feet.

"There you two are! Where have you been?!" Melerna screamed as the couple approached hand in hand. "There's a lot we have to tell you in a short amount of time." Melerna added.
"Why so?" Hitomi asked.
"We need to leave in an hour. The wedding's tomorrow, you're the maid of honor and Van's the best man." Melerna explained.
"Oh, ok… WHAT?!" Hitomi screamed.
"You heard her, you're the maid of honor." Van said while wrapping his arms around Hitomi's waist. "Why don't we tell Hitomi everything on the way there." Van suggested.
"Good idea, we're taking the Crusade." Allen agreed.
