A/N: Yay! *big smile* I'm almost to chapter 10! Hurrah hurrah! I had such a good day today. despite the facts that my twin sister (blood twin, not biological twin) was sick today, I was feeling yicky myself, my friend "Michie" was in hysterics all day because her best friend is pissed at her, I had two tests and had to go to the counselor's office because I forgot some papers. Ah, the papers were no big. The lecture was only, like, two minutes long. Hurrah! It's something in the air, I tell you! Spring time is coming, I can feel it! Or I might still be recovering from wearing a skirt the other day o__O summery. But, yay! Good day! I even got to go to Costco to get valentines. Go me! And, plus, I only got yelled at once, lectured twice, and I GOT LOTS AND LOTS OF REVEIWS!!!!! YAAAAAYYYYYY! Happy me, happy me, I get to go to the symphony tomorrow! Hurrah! The orchestra, band, choir and the seniors are all going. And this is a VERY good thing because a certain bishounen who I have had a crush on for a year is in the band (drum line, too! Some say he's a prodigy) and so are many of my close friends. Also, Michelle is in the choir, so I'm happy. Too bad that I'm missing Orchestra and Latin for it. Those are fun classes. I wish I was missing English.. Blah. Oh well. You can't have everything.. *drools after Bishounen*

"Ouch!" said Folken, rubbing his head where a missile had hit him rather roughly in the head. Folken picked up what had fallen next to him- a tickle me elmo in a bride's dress. Oh. Ruby must have walked in on "Dilandau's Wedding." Folken himself had steadfastly refused to have anything to do with it whatsoever, and was now on his way to clown college, with five dragon slayers trailing him with flame throwers- just in case.

"How did I get myself into this?" Folken sighed, rolling his eyes as Ruby's angered voice echoed down from a window above. Folken wasn't quite sure how or why she had shown up, but one thing was for certain: she sure as hell wouldn't leave of her own free will. Besides, Dornkirk said she could stay, and that she would come in useful. Eventually. Folken really didn't want to think about how long that would take, considering that his nerves were stressed more with each coming day. Just one more straw.

"Hey, boss, did I tell you I captured some chick the other day?" asked Miguel quite suddenly. Folken shook his head.

"Why did you kidnap an innocent girl? The sorcerers didn't tell you."

"No," said Chesta. "They didn't. We were having a fun attack on Allen's ship and all of a sudden her guymelef zoomed out. So we followed he, and captured her."

"She'd make a valuable asset is she can fly a guymelef," said Folken thoughtfully. "Did you get her name?"

"Hitomi or something.." Said Gatti vaguely. Folken's throat went dry.

"Did she have dirty blonde hair and eyes like emeralds?" he choked out. All five of the dragon slayers nodded.

"You fools!" roared Folken. "That's queen Hitomi of Fanelia!!! Take me to her," he barked.

"Uh, yes sir, right away sir.." Mumbled Dallet, leading Folken to the dungeons. One more straw...

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

Hitomi sat up suddenly as the door creaked open. She wasn't afraid, well.. At least, not too afraid. She had full confidence in Van, and Allen, and... nobody. She had gotten herself into this mess, and she would get herself out. Subconsciously, Hitomi reached to grip her pendant- but it was gone. The chain must have snapped after the chase! Hitomi seriously hoped that the pendant had fallen off and landed inside the guymelef- it was the only thing that Hitomi had left of her mother.

"Hello, your highness," came the dark and mysterious voice of a man. Hitomi stared around, the flickering candlelight in her cell illuminating very little.

"Who are you? Why have you taken me captive?" Hitomi asked in a deadly low voice, groping for her sword but only to be depressed. She had left it in Escaflowne. Damn.

"Oh, little Hitomi. You've changed so much," said the voice, moving into the flickering orb of light. Hitomi willed herself to stand her ground as she glared at the man- he had green hair and a purple teardrop tattoo below his right eye.

"Who are you?" Hitomi asked guardedly. In the shadow of the flames. Two great wings burst forward, showering black feathers all over the queen.

"It is I, Folken. Your brother." Folken said, and then sucked his wings back in.

"You are no brother of mine. You are a traitor to your people and your country," replied Hitomi snappishly. F Folken walked over to his sister and placed both hands on her shoulders, gazing down into Hitomi's face. Hitomi met the sad orbs of her older sibling, but showed no emotion.

"Come, sister. Join Zaibach with me. Together, we can change fate. We can unlock the power of Atlantis. We can save the world."

"You don't save the world," spat Hitomi. "You will only destroy it. Fate was not meant to be changed."

"We should create our own destinies," replied Folken. Hitomi looked away at the wall, and her brother let go of her.

"Think about it," he said, and left the cell, closing the cell door with a snap. Unbidden, tears fell from Hitomi's cheek. She slowly keeled over onto her bed, where a tiny pinprick was visible in her arm. The queen felt dazed, and she rubbed where the cold metal of her brother's hand had touched her flesh before she fell unconscious.

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

"Shit," muttered Van, staring upwards and shaking his fist at the heavens. "Damn you, Zaibach," he seethed angrily. "Don't worry Hitomi, I'll get you back." Van hopped up into the guymelef, casting his mind about for possibilities of Zaibach invisible enemies. There were none. He pulled some levers and pushed some buttons, but nothing happened.

"Damn," he muttered, as if the guymelef were deliberately disobeying his orders. He glared about the cockpit, and noticed a tiny sparkle of pink. He lunged forward and snatched it up- it was Hitomi's necklace. Quite suddenly and on a random impulse that had most likely governed most of Van's life, he clasped it around his neck, still thinking angry thoughts and wondering how the hell he would get himself out of this mess this time. Quite suddenly, a column of white blue light descended from the sky and engulfed Van, Escaflowne, and Van's magic track bag, lifting them heavenward to god knows where.

"Van!" cried Merle, lunging forward and ripping at Van with her claws the moment he landed in the Crusade. "Where's Hitomi-sama?"

"Zaibach got her," replied Van simply. "They kidnapped her."

"Noo! Hitomi!" wailed Allen melodramatically, clinging to Millerna who patter him awkwardly on the head. "We have to save her!"

Merle and Allen were crying in a display of disgusting dramatics; Van couldn't help but groan inwardly.

"Well, this is lucky," said Millerna, disentangling herself from Allen's hysterical embrace. "We're going to Dryden and Cinderella's; maybe they will help."

"Cinderella?" Van snorted, the hysterics of the situation finally getting to him.

"Dryden's mother was from the mystic moon, and loved the fable, though I don't know how it goes." spoke Millerna defensively.

"Cinderella," Van sobbed, rolling about on the ground and laughing like insane. "Hitomi.. Kidnapped... Zaibach.. Insane pyro..... wings... Rainbow hair.. Cinderella, hahahahahahahahaha!" by now, Van was not laughing, he was crying hysterically- which was most humiliating since Van was a boy and not supposed to cry. However, as Van tried to calm himself down, his hysteria only grew worse and he had to be led off to a quiet room by Merle to calm down, though she was hardly in better shape.

"Don't worry, Van," Merle said once she had managed to collect herself. She was still slightly hysteric, but obviously trying to be helpful. Van only rocked back and forth like a wild animal.

"How can I not?" he hyperventilated. "You didn't see it! She was lifted into the air by this great invisible hand and then a guymelef appeared and she was.. Just.. It's all my fault! I didn't warn her soon enough.." Van said very quickly. He opened his mouth to say more but was met instead by the slap of Merle's hand.

"Snap out of it!" she screeched.

"Shit! That hurt!" yelled Van, calming down a great deal.

"Good. Now, have you been restored to you senses?" Merle asked, baring her fangs. So much for friendly. Van only sulked. "I'll take that as a yes, then," she stated. "If Hito-sama was telling the truth and you really can.. See. things, then I suggest that you do everything in your power to help us find her. Or else," she added, contracting her claws. Van gulped and nodded.

"Y-yes ma'am," he said, nodding his head vigorously, giving himself a slight headache. Merle only glared.

"We'll be at Dryden's any minute," she said, sauntering out of the room and swishing her tail. "I suggest you make yourself presentable, as his twin sister Cinderella is equal in temper as Hitomi, and not too far behind in swordsmanship." Van gulped yet again. Another Hitomi? This could prove to be interesting, even if slightly dangerous..

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

"You're proposing that you can help us?" asked Dryden, peering over the rims of his sophisticated glasses at Van.

"Yes," said Van, shifting his weight about from foot to foot.

"Impossible," snorted Cinderella. Van couldn't help but stare- perfect, gleaming chestnut hair, beautiful face, and a body to.. Van mentally shook himself. This wasn't the time or the place. Remembering that Hitomi was in trouble, Van calmed down a great deal.

"Dryden," Cinderella implored her brother. "Look at him! He's got to be at least five years younger than us, he wears the oddest clothes I've ever seen, and he looks weak enough to be snapped in half like a wishbone! Hoe can he be an asset to us?" Van glared at the spunky brunette. Maybe she and Hitomi were psychic twins- they were shockingly alike. Hmm..

"This is no ordinary boy who stands before you," said Allen, pushing his way to the front of the room to stand next to Van. "It is Van Salazar de Fanel, from the mystic moon. He landed in Fanelia in the care of queen Hitomi, and is renowned as a seer."

"Fanel, eh? And you landed in Fanelia?" asked Dryden slyly.

"Odd coincidence," said Millerna, Van, Merle and Allen, each sweatdropping. Van was still in shock at Allen's standing up for him- maybe there were ulterior motives involved. Or, maybe he was just trying to be nice. Hmm..

"Sister," said Dryden, turning to his sibling. "We will just have to see." Van smirked at the angry girl, who, in turn, stuck her tongue out at him in reply.

"GO on then," said Cinderella, slamming a map of Gaia down on the table, making all jump. "Lets see what he can do."

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

It had been six long, grueling hours since Van had sat down at the table in an attempt to find Hitomi. Through the time period, Van had not moved once. He had remained with his eyes closed, his right hand holding Hitomi's pendant over the map, his left hand clutching a strand of Hitomi's golden hair which had fallen into his track bag after she sheared it off when he had highlighted it. For the six impossible hours, the room Van was occupying had been silent, save for the sound of opening and closing doors, the occasional murmur or sigh, and Van's steady breathing. Sweat droplets were trickling down Van's forehead, but he did not notice them. He was deep within his mind, searching for Hitomi, his all concentrated solely on her. Van could sense the pendant swinging steadily back and forth, like a pendulum, never slowing down. Deep within Van's heart, there was a slight shadow of doubt that this would work, but Van had seen it on the Sci fi channel and was willing to try anything to help Hitomi.

"How is he doing?" Van heard Millerna ask Allen outside the room.

"Still trying," responded the knight. Van ignored them- Hitomi, and only Hitomi mattered right now. Right, left, right, the pendulum swung. Left. Right. Left. Right. Suddenly, Van could sense something, a vibration along the chain. It swung out, around, and far to the left, and stopped ram rod straight. Van opened his eyes, not perturbed by the oddity of the situation.

"I've found her," he declared softly. Dryden jerked up from the papers he had been reading over, Cinderella's head shot up, lifting her hand from the blade she had been running her hand along, and Merle, Allen, and Millerna stared at the boy from the mystic moon.

"She's there," said Van, pointing to an odd symbol on the map and then collapsing onto the chair. Only snippets could be heard by him, his exhaustion was so great.

"There? How... Stealth..... No.. what?"

"Not.... Crusade.... Idiotic plan.."

"Fight... Zaibach.... Dilandau..." It was only odd noises to Van as his brain ceased to compute. Merle and Millerna walked over to Van, who had his head in his hands and was rubbing his aching temples, the pendant still draped from his fingers.

"Are you alright?" Merle asked, beckoning Cinderella to join them from her debate. She snorted and stormed over.

"Tired." mumbled Van, gazing at the three women surrounding him. Normally, his horny, perverted mind would have kicked in now, but he was too tired to think kinky thoughts. at least, not many kinky thoughts.

"Would you like a drink, maybe?" asked Millerna.

"Mmph.. Water," croaked Van. Cinderella stood up, her footsteps slowly dying away, then returning. Van felt a glass of water being placed in his hands.

"Drink," commanded Cinderella. "And, thanks for helping," she added.

"We've come to a decision," announced Dryden, looking up from his discussion with Allen. "We're going to sneak aboard, find Hitomi, and retrieve her from the enemy's clutches."

"Excellent1" cried Cinderella, while Millerna looked disapproving. "I get to slice things up!"

"Don't fight unless absolutely necessary," warned Allen. Cinderella glared. Dryden ignored the exchange and continued speaking.

"You will leave tomorrow at dawn. I will have backup ready- just in case."

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

"What about me?" yelled Van, glaring at Allen. It was just after dawn, and they were stationed outside the Vione, floating high in the sky.

"Stay here," said Allen. "Guard the ship."

"But I can help!" protested Van as Allen hopped up into his guymelef.

"Stay here with Merle. It's safer. We can't get you hurt, now can we?" asked Allen. Van glared at him as he soared away in his guymelef, and then turned to Merle.

"Get me Hitomi's sword," he said. Merle looked at him oddly, but obeyed the order.

"What are you going to do?" she asked as Van buckled it around his waist.

"I'm going to jump it," said Van, pointing to the gap in front of him. Merle gasped.

"NO way! You cant! What will Hitomi do if you're dead?" Merle asked. Van shrugged, tying the laces of his tennis shoes.

"Not have to get me back to the mystic moon," he said, testing his weight. He stretched- a quick warm up, and gulped.

"Here goes," he muttered, taking a running start.

"Van, wait, you can't," screeched Merle. But it was too late, Van was running and couldn't hear her, and with a great leap he flew through the air towards the Vione, struggling to make it..

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

Hitomi awoke suddenly, looking about her dim cell.

"Hey, is anybody there?" she asked into the gloom- and then saw a guard leering at her through the bars of her door. Hitomi did her best not to scrunch against the wall in fear, and stood her ground as the guard entered the cell.

"Heh heh heh," he cackled stupidly. Hitomi didn't hesitate to knock him out and take his keys- locking the cell door on her way out, leaving the unconscious pervert slumped over in the hay. Hitomi pocketed the keys and looked for a sword. She had to get out of here.

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

Van continued to soar through the air, and time seemed to slow down, maybe even stop as he traveled through the wind. It seemed as though the gap were expanding before Van as he reached to the hold so close.

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

"Ah. Kanzaki Hitomi," cackled an evil voice as Hitomi crept into a guymelef storage room.

"Dilandau," Hitomi said simply, not having to think to place the voice.

"Yes, yes. It's been a while since our last meeting," he cackled merrily. Hitomi stiffened at the memory of her Fanelia burning- she knew now that it had been he who had destroyed her home and her people. "I will be sure not to leave you alive this time," he said, narrowing his ruby eyes at her and drawing his sword as she did the same.

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:. Van landed, soundly and securely on the cement of the hold, and skidded a few feet, landing on his knees and feeling warm blood blossom from the wounds. It didn't matter. He didn't even bother to turn around and wave to Merle, because he could feel something dark descending upon Hitomi. He ran as fast as he could, blindly turning through passages, hoping that he would get to Hitomi in time...

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

A battle raged between the two fantastic sword fighters. Hitomi knew that she would be dead if Dilandau were able to touch her with his deadly sharp blade, and did her best to block every blow, while trying to make strikes on her own.

"Hitomi!" she heard someone yell as she sent Dilandau to the ground, his sword flying. "Hitomi, watch out!" Hitomi jerked her attention away from Van and back to Dilandau just as he was about to strike with a dagger he had hidden in his boot. Hitomi flicked away with the sword, but cut Dilandau's face in the process. He let out a scream, like a hound, and lunged at the queen. But Hitomi turned and fled, alongside Van.

"You came," she said, rather in a bit of shock. Van smiled.

"Yes. I came."

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

"It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts." Dilandau said, rubbing the bandage over the large gash on his cheek. "It hurts. It hurts."

"Dilandau, sweetie, don't you think you'll aggravate it that way?" asked Ruby, dodging nimbly when he tried to smack her smartly across the face.

"So you know my pain, eh?" he asked, glaring angrily at the girl.

"No, I don't. But Folkie-sama found your elmo," said Ruby. Suddenly, Dilandau dashed forward and huggled it, greatly aggravating his girlfriend.

"You could hug me once in a while, too," she snapped. "Or that scar the queen gave you would seem like nothing." Becoming quite alarmed, Dilandau lunged forward and half squeezed poor Ruby to death.

"Better?" he asked.

"Much," Ruby gasped, trying to breathe. Dilandau let go and then walked back to his elmo, sitting down contentedly in a corner and talking to the elmo about something or other, tickling it occasionally to get a reply.

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

"Freid bound we are!" cried Van, prancing around with a happy face. Hitomi watched him with interest, Merle's eyes followed him with her tail swishing, Millerna completely ignored him (instead choosing to flip through Allen's "You and Your Underwear" book,) and Cinderella snorted.

"What?" Van asked, turning to face the four women. "I'm trying to lighten the mood."

"It's light enough without your antics," said Cinderella, propping her legs up on a table, leaning back and pulling out her sword, using it to make reflective patterns on the walls.

"My sister Marlene was queen of Freid," said Millerna, suddenly. "But now.. She's dead."

"Dead?" asked Merle, tearing her eyes away from Van.

"Yeah. She got a bad disease, and eventually.." Millerna sniffed a little, but continued. "She did leave an heir, though., He'll be five soon," she said.

"What's his name?" Hitomi asked. Cinderella still chose to ignore them.

"Chid," she responded with a smile. "He's a little angel."

"Right," said Van, and then sat down next to Hitomi, poking her in the side.

"Hey, Hito-sama?" he asked. Hitomi stiffened at the use of the crazy nickname, and batted his hand away.

"What?" she snapped. Van shrugged.

"I don't know. I just wanted to know what you'd do," he said, and then stood up, swinging his arms and stretching. "I'm boooooored." he groaned, causing all four women to sweatdrop. Cinderella stood up with a slam.

"I'm going to go see how long it is until we get off this godforsaken airship," Cinderella muttered. Van followed her out of the room with his eyes, and heard her mutter "god, I hate heights." He turned smirking back to Hitomi, Millerna (who had gone back to "You and your Underwear," more specifically, the thong section) and Merle, who was cleaning herself. Hitomi's face looked pink.

"Hey, Hito-sama, are you alright?" Van asked her playfully, bounding over to her and cocking his head. He was full of energy, enamored at his success and his chance to one-up Allen, and was thusly releasing it in hyperactivity.

"It's Hitomi. And I'm fine," she said stiffly.

'Damn straight you're fine!' Van thought, but did not say out loud. Instead, he put his hand to her forehead.

"You're all flushed, and you feel a little warm. DO you want to lay down? I can get you a drink, if you want." he offered. Merle snorted. Millerna was oblivious, completely immersed in Allen's book.

"I'm fine," she said, but her protests were in vain. When it came to someone close to Van, he wouldn't allow them to be sick or wounded without a fight. Switching into "mother hen mode" as Yukari had called it so many times, he pushed her back onto the couch she was sitting on, his hands pressing gently against her chest just below her clavicle.

"Stay here, I'll get you a drink.. Merle! Get Hitomi a drink!" Van said, whirling on the little pink cat girl.

"Why me?" Merle asked.

"Because Hitomi is sick," Van responded. Merle got up begrudgingly and left the room, stretching and muttering mutinously. Millerna, her nose still buried in "You and Your Underwear," stood up and made her way out as well, mumbling something about tea.

"Seriously, Van, I'm fine," said Hitomi, but Van wouldn't listen.

"I don't want you to get sick!" said Van, plopping down on the floor next to Hitomi. She glared down at him.

"I'm going to take my sword and slit you nose to navel," she said, scowling. Van only grinned, and then remembered.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you. I found this in Escaflowne. I thought you might miss it," Van said, pulling the pendant out from under his shirt and unclasping it. At the sight of it, Hitomi's eyes lit up and she smiled brightly, taking the pendant from Van.

"Thanks! I was so worried- this necklace means so much to me. It's all I have left of my mother," said Hitomi, looking slightly sad and fumbling a bit with the clasp. Van reached around and helped her fasten it around her neck, his fingers brushing her bare skin for an electrifying moment. Hitomi gazed up into his eyes, and then Allen's voice came on over the intercom.

". no.. Cinderella! Give me that!!!! No, stop..." It was highly amusing to listen to the two stubborn idiots babble and argue with each other, but it had ruined Van and Hitomi's perfect moment. Both crossed their arms over their chests, fuming.

"Anyway, what I'm saying is... dammit, Cinderella, stop! We'll be landing in Fried in five minutes, and the Duke's son will greet us there.. ouch! That hurt!"

"Hahahahaha! Take that you blonde prissy."

Van and Hitomi both sweat dropped, looking at each other, and then face faulted backwards. Cinderella and Allen. hell, Gaia didn't make sense. And Van was pretty sure that Hitomi fit very neatly into that category, but for some reason, he didn't mind.

At least, not much.

.:*:.~.:*:.~.:*:.

A/N: Well? Well? Whatdja think? It took me a LONG time to get this all figured out.. *points at gigantic cement slab with WRITER'S BLOCK" written on it* what a PAIN! I sat and stared at the computer screen all Tuesday night, and then wound up having to scheme this all up during school today. Bah! OH well. I went to the symphony today, and that was highly amusing, since I got to miss school, listen to people play happy instruments, and I even had a bishie spotting. Go me!... and, plus, that certain bishounen lives close to my house... *steals Alseides, cackling, and zooms away* Click the button in the corner to make me even happier. Oh, and for your enjoyment:

I REALLY REALLY LOVE THESE PEOPLE:

Pink Cherry Blossom: Oh, it's okay that you don't review that often.. Believe me, just about ANY review makes me all happy-ish. Yay for reviews. And I know the feeling of not being able to get online very often... *glares at parents* I'll try to work in the fight thing, and the merle thing, and, lets see, what else.. You can have the elmo at the end of the story, okieday? ^.^

Feye Morgan: You'll really lend me Fred?!?!?!?!?! Cool! Hahahaha, I'm better than Bandai at this.. Not really. I couldn't come up with an original story on my life, LoL. I hope you like this update, LoL! And if FF.net doesn't let me update on Friday, random things in the story will burn. And that won't be good, because we all like to keep our inner Dilandau's at bay.. ^____^ hee

Dariel: I'm glad you liked Dilandau's wedding. And the Elmos lived without your surgery, thank you very much... o__o - had nightmares about franken- elmo. Anywhoo, this is a V/H story, so, of course Hitomi and Van will end up together. In the end, at least.. *evil cackling* don't worry, it'll be fun. Painful, but fun... *mutters something about Cinderella and runs away cackling* see you in the next chapter/ review/ thingy!

Esca chick: ouch... that IS a death sentence. Yeah, it'd hurt to marry both the blondie bimbos in the series.. . argh. But now Dilandau is happy.. Elmo lives on!!! *waves a happy elmo banner*

Fireangel: LOL! I'm really glad you liked the chapter. hey, I try! And, yes, poor Cinderella indeed..

CinderellaxVan: Yaaayyy!!! I'm happy you like it. I am joyful. And thank you SO MUCH for updating "For Love." That is such a good story!!!!!! Hurrah hurrah! *prances about waving gigantic yellow Japanese fans* yyyyaaaaaaaayyyyyy! I'm also glad you like Cinderella... hey, I really really make a desperate attempt at humor.. Blargh. T don't worry, I have different plans for Allen... *evil cackle* thanks for the review! Hahahahahahaha! ^____^ yay

Aeka-himme: *wants Hitomi plushie, too* argh! Where did you get those things? I'm glad you liked the chapter, too..

FINAL A/N: Okay, this is something random and you can completely ignore it if you want to. However, those of you maniac Escaflowne fans, read on! Today in Latin I was really really hyper and sproing-like, as usual. So, I was sitting there like the psychotic monkey that I am, chattering on and on to my friend Shawn about the gory glory of "Hellsing" (I was describing the 2nd episode.. Kind of gross, but still fun!) and a-random-guy-that-I-know- but-whose-name-I-cannot-remember just randomly spoke up and said that he should hook me up with Van. And my first thought was: "HOLY SHITTTTT!!!!! VAAAAAAAAAN! ESCAFLOWNE HOTTIE! SCORE!" but then I was jerked out of my pleasant little dream world when he started saying that he's exactly like me- hyperactive to the point of insanity, an anime fan, and... absolutely bonkers, to put it shortly. So, yay. Go bonkers! And even though Shawn said that if we actually had a relationship the school wouldn't last a day before imploding (yes, imploding o_O;;;) I'm still very amused at the idea of going out with a guy named Van who is supposedly the male clone of me. Lol! Fun stuff! SO, yes. I told him he can hook us up if he wants, because I think it would be very entertaining, if only to see where on earth this relationship would go. LOL! Okay, done. And, the symphony today was great, too, to that cheered me up. Shutting up now.

SPECIAL THANKS TO MY EVIL YOUNGER SIBLING, WHO TYPED UP A COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS FOR ME WHEN I GOT TOO LAZY! Ryosei's shout out: Hi to Vic Zhou, and all those cool Meteor Garden people ^.^ But especially Vic.
