Another Note: This FF takes place after the final episode. It's been almost a year since Hitomi and Van have seen each other.
Chapter 1
Hitomi sat at her desk, her Geometry book and homework laid out before her. Pencil in hand, she tapped it absently against the notebook. On the page, equations and scribbles covered half the surface. Hitomi was daydreaming once again.
It had been almost a year ago since her return to Earth. Yukari and Amano had been almost hysterical with relief. Yukari had poked and pinched Hitomi and herself constantly the whole time they were celebrating her return. Hitomi smiled somewhat sadly when she hugged Amano. He could have passed for Allen's twin. A twinge of pain passed through her as she realized she missed them all already. Hitomi had told Yukari, Amano and her mother all about her adventure over the special dinner her mom prepared that night. She didn't care if they believed her or not; she just had to tell the story. Yukari had smiled when she explained about Van, because they had seen him that night she left. Afterwards, they said their goodbyes and made plans to hang out later. Hitomi found that she only missed a week of school. She quickly caught up, and made it to her sophomore year. And with sophomore year came Hitomi's worst subject, math. It came in the form of Geometry.
Hitomi had been staring off into space, her fingertips grazing her hair as she remembered Van's embrace before she returned. How he had stroked her hair as she was lifted into the light. "Hitomi, are you finished with your homework?" Her mother's voice rang out. Hitomi blinked, her daydream shattered. With a groan, she called back, "Almost finished, mom!" Mumbling about how Geometry was almost as evil as Dornkirk was, she quickly scanned over the few problems she had left and answered them as best as she could. She put the books into her backpack and stood, stretching her legs. With a glance, Hitomi looked over at her calendar. A date was circled in black. She smiled when she saw it. It was the day she met Van. It was next week.
As she set out her uniform for school, she mused how she should honor the anniversary. Her thoughts strayed to Van once more and, as if to answer, she could hear his laughter. She sighed softly. Her heart calmed at that assurance. Turning out the lights, she climbed into bed and nuzzled her pillow as she drifted into sleep.
