Disclaimer I'm just a kid, unfortunately for me, I don't own Escaflowne, but the original characters (There are quite a lot in this fic...) ARE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO YAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A/N: All of you out there who haven't had to start school yet, I envy you, * sigh *, listening to my Shop teacher drone on and on about inches is NOT my idea of a good time... Please understand if I can only add a couple chapters a week, since I have 3 fics, I must alternate my time. However, on Saturdays I'll probably be able to add a chapter or two to all three!!!!!!!! * Complains how Esca has such a stupid ending and how boring her classes are... * Sorry, it's just SO hard to bear...
Chapter 32: A Reunion
Daren sat with his head in his hands. It was dark now; he looked up at the Mystic Moon. 'How dare you shine, on a night such as this...' He scorned.
"How can the stars still glow when you're not here with me Mira?" He sighed, and then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Please go away, I don't need your consoling right now, I just want to be left alone."
"Ok..." Said an unsure voice as she walked over to the campfire.
Daren seemed a little disturbed at how his mother's voice had changed. He drew his sword and pointed it at the black cloaked stranger's back.
"Who are you?" He asked angry of this intrusion on his campsite.
The cloaked figure turned around and asked, "Now is that any way to greet your fiancée?" The figure decloaked to reveal a girl, a very familiar girl.
"M-Mira?" Daren asked in wonder.
"Yep, that's me!" Mira replied, giving her husband-to-be a hug.
"B-But h-how did y-you get..."
"Please Daren, no questions now, I just want to go home and sleep, I'm beat!" She cut him off, as she yawned widely.
"Oh... sure..." He replied, suddenly an idea formed in his head and he grinned mischievously.
"I know that grin Daren Sidan de Fanel, you're up to something..." Mira observed, in a suspicious tone.
Suddenly, a blind fold was over her eyes, and she started screaming.
"Shh... Shh... Mira, it's just me..." Daren said, soothing her.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She screamed in rage.
"You'll see..." He whispered as he picked her up.
"DAREN! PUT ME DOWN!" She protested as she attempted to kick him in the jaw.
"Relax." He calmly replied.
Suddenly, Mira felt like they were flying, but no, that was impossible. Daren was playing a trick on her and in a minute, she'd probably be dropped into a muddy creek or something. Suddenly, the blindfold was ripped off and Mira looked around, curious to where they were. She looked down and saw nothing but sky and the ground far below and she started screaming, and tried to jump out of Daren's arms.
"Mira, be still!" He commands in a forceful tone.
"Oh my god! Daren, what's happening? We're gonna die! I just know we're gonna die!" She screamed as she clung to him desperately. She tried to put her arms around his back, but she couldn't. There were two white furry things in the way.
"What are those...?" She asked in bewilderment.
Daren blushed and said.
"Umm... let me think, well how did I ever know? They're wings!" He said sarcastically.
"Daren, are you a..."
"Umm... well, yes..." He replied, unsure of what her reaction would be, now that she knew that her husband was what all of Gaea considered a "demon." He was surprised to feel gentle hands caressing his wings and he looked around to see Mira gawking at them in wonder.
"They're wings of an angel..." She muttered, as she caught a drifting feather.
She then became angry again, "DAREN! WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME THAT YOU WERE A DRACONIAN?"
"You never asked..." He replied.
"Well, it's not a common question!" She hotly replied. She tried to turn away from the wings, but their grace and beauty was hypnotizing.
"I could stay up here forever," She said, as a shooting star passed.
"Just like last time..." Mira murmured as she watched it streak across the sky.
"The second time a star passes over two young lovers, it means good fortune and great happiness... Or so the royal astrologists said. I never really believed what those old fools said, but for once, I think they were right..." He whispered as he stopped in midair and they engaged in a long and passionate kiss.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A day later...
Once again, Mira was walking down the aisle in that dress of hers. Her stomach was filled with butterflies and each step, took everything she had. 'Hopefully, this time I'll make it to Daren...' She mused as she progressed. After what seemed like years, she reached him. Her angel with the sparkling green eyes. The priest droned on and on about commitment and unity and all that stuff, but Mira didn't pay much attention. She was preoccupied by looking into Daren's eyes.
She was about to kiss Daren, when a familiar scene came into play. It was the same, the woman screaming, the guests gasping as the Alseides landed. 'This is familiar.' She sighed, rolling her eyes.
'I'm never going to be married at this rate...' She silently thought. '
What was that that Varomi was saying the other day, 'I'll be the forgotten Albatou, doomed to spend the rest of my life as a spinster with a pyro-maniac running loose in my house, who seems to be cursed with the worst luck on this particular planet...' The guests looked slightly disturbed and Daren looked utterly confused as Mira tried to stifle back a laugh. Like last time, the red Alseides opened to reveal Dilandau and he hopped to the ground, Gatty and Chesta following this time.
"Father, you came!" She happily proclaimed, with a look of amusement on your face.
"How could I ever miss my only daughter's wedding?" He asked, though his tone sounded as though it was a line he had practiced.
"Well, this is a surprise... Why did you come this time, to burn Fanelia down around me?" She asked.
"Like I said, I came to see your wedding, alright!" He replied in a frustrated tone, stroking his flame-thrower thoughtfully.
"He never would have come if we hadn't threatened to dismantle his guymelef!" Chesta happily proclaimed, as Gatty stepped on his foot and he jumped up and down. Mira pretended not to hear this remark and kissed Daren, binding them together forever...
