It was the middle of the night before Van woke up. He looked around and saw Fiona sitting in a chair by his bed. "There is no pain, so the antidote must have worked," said Van. "I felt like I was going to die from the pain rather than the poison," said Van. It was then that Van noticed someone looking in through the door. "Who's there," asked Van? "It is me," said Rachael. "What are you doing here," asked Van? "I am here for a vacation," said Rachael. "Why not go somewhere else besides another military base for a vacation," asked Van. "I have my reason," she said. "Listen there is something I want to show you," said Rachael. "What," asked Van? "Come here," said Rachael. "I really don't think I should get out of bed," said Van. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone," said Rachael as she dragged Van out of the bed. She walked down as ways till she got to an empty hallway a ways away from the medical ward.

Fiona woke up a little while after Van left. "Huh? Where's Van," asked Fiona? "He should know that he is not suppose to be up," said Fiona. She then got up and walked around the halls looking for Van.

"What is it you wanted," asked Van? "I wanted to talk," said Rachael. "That can wait till morning can't it," asked Van as he tried to walk back. "Wait, it is something I have to say right now," said Rachael. It was then that she saw Fiona approaching them. 'This is too good,' thought Rachael. "Well what is it," asked Van? Before he even knew what happened she went up and kissed him. Fiona saw what was happening though and was heartbroken that the man she loved would do something like this to her. 'This can't be happening,' thought Fiona. ' Van would never do something like this to me but I see him right there and he is actually doing it,' thought Fiona. To avoid seeing more, she ran off before she could see what happened next. Van was a little shocked with what was happening that he was unable to do anything. Van then pushed Rachael away. "What are you doing," asked Van? "What does it look like," asked Rachael? "I didn't even want to, so why did you do it," asked Van? "I was hoping it would make you love me," said Rachael. "Well I don't, I love Fiona," said Van. "Her," asked Rachael? "Yeah," said Van. "Why do you want someone like her when you could have someone like me," asked Rachael in a hurt tone? "She is the only one I could possibly love," said Van and he just walked away without hearing what she had to say. "Wait Van," yelled Rachael. Van still didn't listen to her.

A few minutes later Van managed to get back to his room. "Where's Fiona," Van asked himself? "I really hope she didn't see that," said Van. "Maybe she just went to her room after I left," said Van as he got into the bed and went to sleep.

"Finally I am out of there," said Van as he walked away from the medical place nearly two days after he took the antidote. "That antidote worked quickly I should thank Dr. D for it," Van said to himself. "They sure did a lot of test before I could go," he said to himself. "But I wonder why Fiona didn't come to see me today or yesterday. I wonder, where everyone else was to I got lonely yesterday," he said. "I thought Fiona would have wanted to see how I was feeling," he said. He was too busy with his thoughts that he didn't hear Thomas come up to him. After Thomas had caught up Van still didn't notice until Thomas punched him in the back of the head. "Hey what was that for," asked Van as he picked himself off the ground? "That is for what you did to miss Fiona," said Thomas. "Why is there something wrong with her," asked Van? "You should know exactly what happened," said Thomas. 'Oh no, she did see it,' thought Van. "It isn't what you think," said Van. "Oh really? I thought that you loved miss Fiona but you kissed another woman," said Thomas. "Will you listen to me," asked Van? "Why should I," asked Thomas? "Because you don't know what happened," said Van. "I know exactly what Fiona told me, and that is enough," said Thomas. "If you would listen to me I can tell you what happened," said Van. "Forget it, I don't want to hear it,' said Thomas as he walked away.

What happened after that only made things worse for him. Not only was Thomas mad at him, but so was Irvine and Moonbay for the same reason. "Wait listen to me," said Van as Irvine and Moonbay walked away. "Forget it," said Irvine. "We aren't interested in your excuses," said Moonbay. "Why won't anyone listen to me," Van asked himself? Van then yelled to them saying, "If you must know, she kissed me. I didn't even want any part of it," said Van. Irvine and Moonbay stopped when they heard this. "What makes us think we will believe you," asked Moonbay. "I can show you," said Van. "This I have to see," said Irvine.

"Excuse me but we need to see the security tapes from last night around midnight," said Van. "We won't be taking them anywhere we just need to see them," Van continued. "I guess you can," said the soldier. Van went through the tapes until he found the one to prove his innocence. "Here watch this," said Van as he played the tape and fast-forwarded it to the part they needed to see. "Does this have any noise," asked Van. "Sure just a second," said the soldier as he typed a few keys and the sound was added to it. "Now watch this," said Van. As the tape played it showed everything. "Hey there's Fiona," said Moonbay as she pointed to the screen. Then they saw the part about the kiss when Van saw Fiona's look in the tape it made his heart hurt worse than the poison ever could make him feel. "Caught in the act," said Irvine. "Just watch," said Van. They watched and saw what happened next how Van pushed Rachael away and told her that he didn't love her and that he only loved Fiona. "Wow Fiona ran away so quickly that she couldn't even find out what actually happened," said Moonbay. "You might want to show this to Fiona, Van," said Irvine. "You are right," said Van as he rushed out of the room. "So he was telling the truth when he said that she kissed him and not the other way around," said Moonbay. "My question is, will Fiona want to watch this to find out the truth," asked Irvine? "We had better hope," said Moonbay.

"Fiona are you in there," asked Van? He listened and didn't hear anything not even the sound of crying. "Hey Fiona please listen to me," said Van. Still he didn't hear anything. He decided to just take his chances and go in. What he saw in there shocked him. It was completely empty. Fiona wasn't in there, Sakura wasn't either. "What shocked him most was that there was nothing of theirs in the room. They had left. "No, Fiona," yelled Van as he raced down the hall to the hanger where he found Thomas. "Hey Van. Irvine and Moonbay told me what they saw and I am sorry for what I did," said Thomas. "Thomas did Fiona come through here," asked Van in a hurry? "I just came in here so I don't know," said Thomas. 'Why," asked Thomas? "Her room is empty and all of her stuff is gone," said Van. "You have to be kidding," said Thomas. Van then went and asked one of the engineers that were working there. "Hey you, have any zoid left the base today," asked Van? "Only one," said the man. "How long ago," asked Van? "About an hour or two ago," said the engineer. "No," said Van as he ran to the blade liger. "Where are you going Van we need you here," said Thomas. "I am going to get Fiona back," said Van. "But you can't just leave," said Thomas. "Tell Crougar I am going to take a vacation until I find her," said Van. "Wait Van," yelled Thomas but Zeke fused with the liger and Van ran off. "He is going to be in for it when he gets back," said Thomas. "He just got back and he is already using days off," said Thomas. "I don't believe him," said Thomas.

Two months had past since Van left and after failing to bring her back he went back to the base in despair. When he got there though he got punished for just leaving though. After Van got done with the punishment he talked to the others. "So Van did you find Fiona," asked Moonbay. "No. I came close once but I lost her," said Van. "You never know she might come back," said Moonbay. "It wouldn't surprise me if she didn't," said Van. "How about this Van, I will go look for Fiona while you stay here," said Moonbay. "I don't have to stay here because I am not part of the army. I merely like to stay here," said Moonbay. "Thanks Moonbay," said Van. "It will be my pleasure," said Moonbay. "Fiona is my friend and hated to see her the way she was. The last time I saw her like that is when we all thought that you had died," said Moonbay. "If you do find her give her this and tell her I am sorry," said Van as he handed Moonbay a copy of the security tape that he had made to show Fiona. "I will do that Van," said Moonbay. She then got up and left for the hanger and her gustav.

Moonbay had traveled for a week to look for Fiona and she had already found her. "Took Van two months and he couldn't find her, and it only took me a week," said Moonbay to herself. "Fiona," yelled Moonbay. Fiona turned around. "I am not going back," said Fiona. "Listen Fiona I talked to Van the day that you left and I learned something that you must know," said Moonbay. "I don't want to know," said Fiona. "Listen I know you will always love Van even after what he did and this will help you get over what he did," said Moonbay. "Please don't talk to me about him," said Fiona. "Listen I could show you what really happened on this tape or I can just tell you. Either way you will know the truth," said Moonbay. "The truth is Fiona that Van never wanted to kiss her. She kissed him when you were looking, she wanted to make sure you were watching," said Moonbay. "What," asked Fiona. "Here watch this and then come back if you want to," said Moonbay. She then walked away leaving Fiona alone with Sakura. 'Could he really not have wanted to,' Fiona thought to herself? She then went back to the hotel they were staying at and watched the tape from the beginning that she needed to see till after it was all over. "I don't believe it. I rushed off without finding out the truth," said Fiona. 'Why was I so stupid to jump to conclusions,' she thought to herself. "Sakura, sweetie pack your thing," said Fiona. "Why mommy," asked Sakura? "Because we are going back," said Fiona. "Does that mean I get to see daddy again," asked Sakura? "Yes it does," said Fiona.
