Disclaimer: As sad as it may be *sniff* I don't own Escaflowne! So don't sue me!

Side note: Aravase, Tony, and Cale are MINE! So don't use them!

Sorry it took so long to get out the next chapter! I just didn't have time to type it up! Major computer upgrades on my dad's part lately! Also, I had lack of motivation due to lack of REVIEWS! So maybe if you REVIEW my fanfiction then maybe I'll write a little faster! * Hint Hint *

Chapter 2

"Beam Me Up Scotty!"

~*Aravase*~

*Maybe it's a bit juvenile, but when nothing happened I was a bit disappointed. * sigh * Like blowing out some candles will acctually give you a wish.*

"Well Sis, was this birthday all you imagined and more? Feeling any older and wiser yet?"

"Older? Yes. Wiser? Not really." I sighed.

"You seem a litte depressed! You okay?"

"I'm fine Tony. Really! You have nothing to be so worried about!"

"Why do I not believe you? Tell you what! Let's ditch cleaning for a while and go for a walk. It'll make you feel better!"

~*At the Park*~

"So Ara, what's up?"

"I told you Tony… I'm FINE! There is nothing wrong."

"Oh Please! You are not FINE! Come on I'm your big brother! You can tell me ANYTHING!"

*Laughs * "Yeah! The same 'big brother' who told everyone at my 10th birthday party that I drank to much Coke and wet the bed the night before!"

*Rubs the back of his neck* "Heh… um… so you remember that huh!?!… well… okay then good point!" 'memo to self: Ara has a good memory!' "Um… but… but you can trust me now!"

For a moment Aravase concidered telling him then sighed, "What's the use! You'd put me in an institution faster than you can say NUT CASE!"

"I've already tried! They said they couldn't help you!"

They both laughed, "seriously though. Tell me!"

"It's a really LONG story."

Tony sat her down on a bench, "We've got all the time in the world!"

~*Aravase*~

So I told him the whole story about Gaea. I told him of Van and Merle, and of the Heavenly Knight Allen and how Hitomi stayed and married him, and of Millerna and Dryden. I skipped some things like the more gory details of the war and Van's wings, of course, but it was basically the entire story.

*I took a deep breath and waited for Tony's response.*

"Woah!"

*That's it! All he had to say was 'Woah'?*

So I just sat there stairing at him; mouth hanging open.

He looked at me and grinned a big childish grin, "That's… WAY COOL! I wish I could have been there!"

*He believed me?* "So… you don't think I'm crazy?"

"Absolutly! But in a 'good' sort of way!"

*sigh* I smiled and looked up at the stars. My story to so long the sun had long since set. We sat in silence for a while… It was a comfortable silence not akward like if he really thought I was loosing it!

After a while of stargazing Tony said, "Look! A shooting star! Make a wish!"

I smiled again. I already knew my wish!

'I wish I could show Gaea to Tony! I wish to be back in Gaea… with Van.'

It was then that a blue column of light came and lifted them off the ground and fulfilled her wish!
