Escaflowne - An Unwanted Turn Of Events

Chapter 3 - Hmmmmm! Well.... this chapter turned out real good!!!
When Hitomi looked around her for the first time on Gaia (in Fanalia - how dumb r u?) she thought it was beautiful. She didn't realise she had spoken aloud until...

'...Isn't it!' Van murmured.

'NO,' said Hitomi as if Van were mad,' it's ugly, my cat's litter tray at home is more welcoming and beautiful so stuff you!'

She sure is feisty thought Van. Even though he raised an eyebrow and laughed, inside he winced, a bad start. To hear his future queen say such spiteful things made him want to strangle her (just think Homer and Bart Simpson!!! Hehe) despite how he cared for her! (Little did he know!! Muahahahahah!)

While they were walking (well Van in escaflowne; Hitomi on escaflowne's hand) to the Fanalien Palace, Hitomi started to sing in a well trained voice, singing a tune that seemed appropriate for her situation: -
Tomorrow By Avril Lavigne

And I don't wanna believe you,
When you tell me it will be ok!
Yeah I try to believe you,
BUT I DON'T.

When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
NOT (TODAY x 5).

I' don't know how I'll feel,
Tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
Tomorrow, tomorrow is a different day.

It's always been up to you,
It's turning around it's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
Just don't...
Give me a little time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it's not too late,
NOT (TODAY x 5).

I' don't know how I'll feel,
Tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
Tomorrow, tomorrow is a different day.

Hey yeah yeah,
Hey yeah yeah,
And I know I'm not ready,
Hey yeah yeah,
Hey yeah yeah,
Maybe tomorrow.

Hey yeah yeah,
Hey yeah yeah,
And I know I'm not ready,
Hey yeah yeah,
Hey yeah yeah,
Maybe tomorrow.

And I want to believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be OK!
I try to believe you,
NOT (TODAY x 5)

Van just listened to her. Her haunting voice carried out into the still evening. All her emotions were put into that song. He listened to the words and realised why she was singing that particular song.

When they got to the castle (palace, manor whatever! Do I care what it's called? Uh...NOPE! ) Eventually they went upstairs, after a meeting with the advisors, merle, blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda, and found that there was a situation! (suspense music please!) His request (order, command) HADN'T been carried out. A separate room hadn't been prepared for Hitomi! OH NO!

'But your Highness I thought that the queen-to-be would sleep in your room? I thought the messenger was mistaken!' protested the maid.

'Look Minnie, it doesn't matter, 1 night won't hurt me!'

But...Later...
'Goodnight Hitomi,' yawned Van, whilst getting into bed. He left enough room in the four-poster bed for Hitomi.

But Hitomi, after cleaning her teeth and changing in the bathroom, which amused Van, since he had changed there and then in the bedroom, in front of Hitomi, who averted her eyes asking for him to tell her when he was ready, instead, walked to her side of the bed, grabbed the pillow, a blanket, and her dressing gown and made a bed on the floor.

Van, rolling over saw Hitomi and asked what she was doing.

'You didn't expect me to sleep IN the bed WITH YOU?!?!?!?' she said incredulously. She sighed and rolled her eyes, ' I prefer the floor!'

And with that she lay down and fell asleep after one thought: - She was still underage, she'd never slept with anyone, whether or not sex was involved. The only person she'd ever let sleep in her bed was Mamoru when he was young after a nightmare! And it'd stay that way too! At least til she got back to Earth and Alex!!!!
