TEST. Test. Test. Is that all teachers know how to do. I swear for my Driver's Ed class we have a test EVERY NIGHT! Frustrating to say the least. I still haven't gotten to go the fair ::sniff:: I yelled at my mom (literally, I'm the parent when it comes to my mom, I'm usually the that wakes her up for work!) for driving. *rolls eyes* Adults. Anywho.

Bad news: I might have to put this fic on hold. Not for long, just a week or so because I need to get into the swing of High School. #shudder# (can ya tell I like using different symbols?) I know most of you people wont' really care, but hey~ it's important to me at least.

My lovely reviewers:

Yeaaaaaaaaaah! I'm gonna put some of my OWN characters in a ship, fly it to Gaea, land it in Fanelia, then decide to strap a nuke on it and make it go CABLUIE!!!! Not your brightest thought. If you don't mind me saying.

To tell the honest truth, so was I. I had no clue when or where they'd come into play. But it's happening and I've got some of the next chapters in my head.

Holly Bird

Hm… I'll check out your story sometime

Good thing someone saves me from writes block. I need a champion against all this stuff. And nothing too bad happens.

!Aaachoooo! I think I have a cold! o stuffy noise and all.

Chapter 14

Allied Enemies and Enemied Allies

\can there be such a thing?/

We all stood there looking quite dumbly at the ship. Finally Van came out of his stupor and walked up to examine it. It also happened that at that time the pressure release system did it's job (is there even one of those?) Van jumped back very quickly. I do believe it scared the daylights out of him. (I would be too if I didn't know what a giant object was and it suddenly made hissing noises at me)

None of us knew what to expect. The doors opened and first one out was a very disorientated Yoshiko followed closely by Umeko who looked like she was having fun. Both were wearing tight black pants with a white undershirt covered by a blue vest with the letters JSC on it. "Wimps! All of you, couldn't handle a simple thing like that!" she spoke in Japanese while laughing. "Well, at least you were able to get up faster than the guys."

Yoshiko suddenly took notice of Van. She tapped Umeko on the arm and pointed to him. Umeko turned to see what she was pointing at. She took a sharp breath. Then Umeko seemed to notice me. "Hitomi!" she shouted running toward me and gave me a huge hug. Yoshiko then noticed Yukari and proceeded to do the same to her.

"Can't breathe," Yukari said in Japanese.

(to try to not inconvenience you lovely/cute readers Japanese is like this, Gaean is like this.)

Yoshiko and Umeko got off of us. "Who are they?" Yoshiko asked indicating Van and Amano.

"Well, that's my boyfriend Amano," Yukari stated pointing to him. She moved her finger and pointed to Van, "And that's Hitomi's fiancé, Van"

"Fiancé?" they shouted in unison. I blushed and nodded my head.

"Who are they?" Van demanded.

"Van, this is Yoshiko and Umeko (no last names, okay?), I know them from on the Mystic Moon. They aren't all that bad, really," I told him.

"Van, Hitomi!" Allen called coming up from the side of us. I think he knew Van didn't have a gift for me because he was wearing his Caeli suit. "I knew it wasn't a gift, so I came to investigate. Who are they?" I am so good.

"Yoshiko and Umeko for the last time."

"Geez, blow up on him." Amano joked.

"My head," someone said coming out of the ship. Five some ones to be exact. Yasu, Nero, Taro, Ravi, and Dylan came out of the ship. All had matching clothes on, a manlier version of Yoshiko and Umeko's black pants, white undershirt and blue vest. Van, Amano, and Allen all moved in front of Yukari and I, also unintentionally covering up Yoshiko and Umeko.

"Tell them to go away," Van growled.

"Go away and you shall not be harmed," Amano said. Van and Allen drew their swords as back up to his words.

"Whoa! Tell them to cool their jets. We're just here to look around, we aren't going to do anyone any harm," Nero said.

"He says they just want to look around and they aren't going to do any harm. Besides didn't you say you wanted them to make the first move?" Amano told Van.

"I know I said that, but I don't trust them. First Yasu, and now Taro. I don't care for either of them. I want them out of Fanelia, tell them to go to Zaibach," Van replied.

"O~kay," Amano said. "You can be spared. Go down that road about ten miles until you come to a bridge, and then go upstream for a day. You will then be in a country that might accept you and you may be able to help them. If you don't leave now, I can't guarantee you won't have an army after you." Now here comes the interesting thing. Out of nowhere five troops from the Fanelian Guard. Yukari and I were almost laughing because of their perfect times of Amano's words.

"We saw a bright light fall from the sky, sir. We didn't think very much of it until Sir Allen rushed out of the city. We decided to check it out," one of them said.

"Draw your swords and point it at those five there," Van told them. The guards did as their king asked {not that they seven from the ship knew who he was} and pointed their long, shiny, deadly swords at the men of JSC.

"Man, he isn't kidding," Dylan said.

"Okay. We go down this road? Then upstream? Gotcha," Ravi said to confirm Amano's directions.

"Let us get out bags. We will need our supplies," Taro said in his drawling voice. Amano nodded his consent and the five of them turned to the ship and went inside. They came outside and Ravi, Nero, Dylan, and Yasu all had packs on their backs. When Taro came out, he not only had a backpack, he also had a gun in his hand.

"Yo, man! What the heck do you think you're doing?" Dylan asked.

"Do that Taro, and you won't live. You can't have over five hundred bullets in that ship," Amano threatened. Taro looked at him inquiringly. "Allow me to introduce Van Fanel, king of Fanelia. The land that you are currently standing in. He has great power here on Gaea. Not to mention just a ways away there is a party going on in his castle and we could alert someone in his army, and you would have over seven countries on your trail in an instant. I don't think you want that," he finished. Long speech, most likely the biggest he's given.

(I made Van to be some big-shot king with a huge army at his bidding. Oh well, my story, my rules)

Van took a step closer to Taro with his sword in front of him. They just glared at each other for a while until Taro looked away and lowered his gun. He then started on down the road and the rest of the guys soon followed.

"I can't believe they forgot about us!" Umeko cried. Van and then rest of the guys turned around about to ask what she said. Yoshiko and Umeko both had the same thought. It was written plainly on their faces. 'We are so screwed'

I decided to help them. "Van, please put you sword away? These are my friends and we might be able to tell us what's going on," I pleaded with Van. He nodded his head and they all put their swords away.

"Geez Hitomi. You really have been to Gaea before," Yoshiko said before her and Umeko fainted. They fainted right into Yukari and my arms. Let me tell you, they aren't the lightest things in the Universe. Allen and Amano came over to relieve us of our burden.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to look inside of here," I told everybody. I crawled inside to find a small circular inside with eight seats. Must have wanted me back there, I thought. I grabbed Yoshiko and Umeko's bags from behind their seats. I slowly checked to see if anything else was in there. A stray notebook computer was strapped to a wall along with a digital camcorder that's also able to take digital pictures. I yanked the electronics off the wall. On the other side of the ship there was an empty space that seemed to me fit the same stuff. The guys must have taken it. But why'd they leave this set? I would think they'd want both.

I crawled back out of the ship with my cargo and started back towards Fanelia. Everyone followed closely behind. "Need a hand?" Van asked.

"No, I'm fine," I told him. (Never trust Hitomi when she says that, most likely she's lying. Every time she got hurt in the movie she would say she's fine)

*~*~

The party ended and the guests went to their assigned rooms while Yoshiko and Umeko got a nice little private room complete with guards, courtesy of his royal highness. For the most part before I went to sleep, everyone was sleeping soundly. That was not the case with me

*Dream View*

I was running from someone. I was sure it was a person, not thing. I'm sure I've felt that presence before, like I actually know who it is, I thought. I kept running, never tiring or slowing down.

I started to see people in the distance. I slowed down seeing them. Dryden, Chid, Amano, Allen, Merle, Millerna, Yukari, Umeko, Yoshiko. Not dead this time, just barely alive. I walked a bit faster. A gap came between the bodies of them and the others. I wasn't quite sure if I expected to see Celena and the Crusade or the people of JSC. I first saw Dylan, Ravi, and Nero; all of them were just hanging onto life by just a thing thread. Next. I saw Taro and Dilandau. They were dead. Where is Yasu? And why weren't Umeko and Yoshiko here? And now, why is Dilandau here?

When I finally stopped passing people I looked around for Van. "Hitomi! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked running up to me. This was the Van I knew.

"I'm fine Van. Really," I heard myself say. I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and once again I saw a blade racing towards my chest. Van started to move in front of me. I held him in place.

"Hitomi!"

*Real View* (I killed Dilandau!! [well not really] )

I woke up and for the first time I'd had this dream, people weren't standing over me. I leaned back into the pillows and tried to control my breathing. When I finally did, I fell back asleep once again.

Okay, I'm well aware of how dinky this little chapter is. NO flames! I give them to Dilandau and that isn't' good. Well I decided to leave it here cause the next chapter is/should be long and it's going to start two days later. I've already got the whole thing in my mind and the first couple paragraphs already typed up. So don't worry.

Keep in mind where Amano sent them. Do you think it's a smart idea. ???
