"To Gaea Again"



A/N: Konnichiwa minna! Hey!!! Kos-chan here!!! This fic had already been posted, read, and reviewed before … but I made a lot of mistakes and I even demanded reviews in order to post … I also messed up with my characters … so I'm reposting it as a new, revised version!!! It is dedicated to my best Teki … Rachel. She may be 99 out of 100 times annoying, mean, perverted, selfish and rude … but whenever I need her she is there for me. Thanks~ I may not say it some times, but I appreciate it more than you know!!! I hope you like the new content … it's still the same story, but with new additions or missing certain things.


Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne or their characters, they belong to Bandai and the people who created it … I'm just using them for this story … if I did own it the Dragon Slayers would be alive, Van would be dead, and Dilandau would be whole (no Celena) and burning things …


Introduction:


She sat at the computer desk at 1:00 A.M., both her hands clutching either side of her head in a meager attempt to understand.

"Why?" she growled under her breath so she didn't wake her father or brother.

"I don't understand," she mumbled, pounding her fist on the desk.


The story begins … Chapter 1: "On Earth"


Victoria Townley was a 14 year-old otaku gone mad. Her life was such a mess she didn't know what to believe. She decided that God and anime were real. (This is not blasphemy or anything of the sort. All I'm saying is that she believes both God and anime/ alternate universes are real. She is in no way comparing the two.) She dusted off her hands and said, "That's $1340.00" after buying and watching Escaflowne Volume 6 again.

*Ring, Ring* "Hello?" asked Victoria.

"KONNICHIWA!!!" A happy voice replied.

"Hahaha, Konnichiwa Teki-chan!" Victoria answered.

Victoria had little relief in this world and the ones that helped the most were anime, her otaku friends Kara, Joe, Ry, otaku in training friend Rachel, and fanfic authors Chichirui, Chez, Navi, Kae Noel, BlueStarFairy, Zanne Chaos and ShadowFox. She always had her friend Stacy, and the other Rachel … but they didn't even know what anime was and hardly ever saw her. Victoria once was a normal, happy child. But then her parents got a divorce, and she had to move with her father and brother (Philip) to a home in the middle of the country.

Day and night anime is what her life focused on … 5th period math she sat in the back of her class drawing Van's death, AGAIN !!!

"Ta ka ey so Na oh, kewly ooh ta neta ta ey Na ey! At toona toe oey, ke oh, oh, oh neteshy Tay! Koh nah ooh, ooh dey ey mi oh- itsa maloo koetoe na kidu ala…"

… Could be heard echoing from the abnormal girl. Mr. Butler tapped on her desk and crumpled the talented manga.

"Ms. Townley?"

"Sorry Sir." she said and pulled out her book … only to stare at her Anime book mark …

After the hour-long ride on the bus (with 71 people who didn't understand her) she finally made it home. She sighed throwing her book bag down, and changed into her casual clothes, which consisted of a long, black T-shirt that had fire on the sleeves and middle, and some loose fitting jeans.

She got a Mountain Dew and some gum and sat down. She got on the computer, checked her E-mails, read the last chapter of "Gemini", and went to "Dilandau's Lair." After that she let Philip online, and started to pack. On the weekend she went to her mom's house so when she got home from school on Friday she got ready to go.

She packed eight sets of clothes (could never pick just one … lol), necessary items, a picture of her friends, one of her dad, ALL her Escaflowne videos, her dagger and sword, school work, a disc man, her wallet, and some other stuff … pretty much what she took every weekend.

*Beep, Beep!* could be heard impatiently out side from her mom's car.

"Okay, Mum!!!" was the reply.

(Mum is the English way of spelling Mom) Not only was Victoria misunderstood for her character, personality, and hobbies … but also she didn't look like any one else either. She had long, lavender hair, and golden eyes. She was 5`7, athletic, and slim. The doctor said the eyes and hair were birth defects but she enjoyed being different. The look almost reflected her.

She spent the day with her mom, and then she watched the video when the Dragon Slayers died (again). It was about 3 A.M. and every one was asleep~ but the teen-otaku was on the patio outside thinking. She looked at the stars and took her watch out of her bag. *Which was conveintly next to her because she was going back to her Dad's in about an hour*

"I wonder if Gaea is real," she pondered aloud.

Suddenly a pillar of blue light engulfed her, and swept her and her bag, to Gaea …
