How was the last chapter? Sorry it was short, I couldn't think of anything
to write for that chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vandread, GONZO does.
Stranded
"Can I really come along, Uchujin-san?" said Dita.
"Sure, if you want to.." said Hibiki.
"Sugoi! Uchuujin-san!" shrieked Dita.
"But first, I have to get permission from BC, wait here." said Hibiki.
"Hai!" said Dita.
"Are you sure you want to go out there and explore the comet?" said BC.
"Sure I'm sure!" said Hibiki confidently.
"How are you going to get there?" asked Bart.
"Using my Vanguard, of course!.....By the way, Dita's coming along too"
"Ooh, I see you're planning a date with Dita on that comet, eh, Hibiki?" said Bart.
"She..she wants to come along and it's none of my business!" said Hibiki.
"Then how is she going there?" asked BC, thus ending the discussion between Bart and Hibiki.
"Don't look at me, I don't know how she's getting there. Using her Dread I guess." Hibiki said.
"But her Dread is still at Nirvana, isn't it?" asked BC.
"Why are you asking me for? Ask her!" said Hibiki.
"Go get her, then.."
Meanwhile..
'I wonder where Uchuujin-san is..maybe he's in the meeting room. I guess it's worth a try.' Dita thought to herself. Just as Dita was about to go in the meeting room, Hibiki appeared at the doorway. After staring at each other for awhile, Hibiki said "BC wants to see you."
"H..hai!" said Dita as she stepped into the room.
"So, you want to explore the comet too, eh?" asked BC.
Dita nodded.
"How are you going to get there? Isn't your Dread at Nirvana?" asked BC.
"Oh, right. I forgot.." said Dita in a disappointed tone.
Suddenly, Bart appeared at the doorway, a puzzled look on his face.
"What is it, Bart?" asked BC.
"I went to the storage room where Hibiki's Vanguard was kept.I didn't know what happened." Bart didn't finish his sentence.
"What was it?!" Hibiki demanded.
"I..I.couldn't find your Vanguard."
"WHAT?!"
"Instead, I saw a VanDREAD.."
"What? Why? Who? When?" Hibiki blurted out.
"Umm..a Vandread, your Vanguard combined with Dita's Dread. I don't know how it got there."
"Maybe it was Paekxis..just like the time when the Super Vandread emerged." Said Duero thoughtfully.
"Who cares what happened? Now I get to follow Uchuujin-san!" shrieked Dita excitedly, thus ending the conversation.
"Are you two sure you want to do this?" asked BC before they were about to take off.
"Haaai!" said Dita while Hibiki showed a thumbs-up in the Vandread.
"Be sure you don't take too much time on your date!" teased Bart.
"Put a sock in it!" said Hibiki.
"That's rude, Uchuujin-san"
"Who cares"
"GOOD LUCK!" Bart, Duero and BC said.
Hibiki and Dita took off.
Vandread Dita landed on the comet.
"Waaa.." said Dita as they looked around.
There were pieces of moon rock lying around here and there. Either than that, there was nothing much on that comet.
"Lets take a piece of moon rock back to the ship, shall we?" said Hibiki.
"Sure!" said Dita.
After they were done 'visiting' the comet, they took a piece of moon rock a prepared to head back to the ship..
A strange light shone out of nowhere and pulled the Vandread into it.
"IIE!!" yelled Dita as they were sucked into the strange force.
Hibiki tried hard to pull the Vandread away from it, but the force was too strong, and they were sucked into the light..going deep down into the light, into deep darkness.
CRASH!
Meanwhile at the men's ship.
"We've lost trace on Vandread Dita!" said BC as he checked the radar.
"Oh Noooooooooooooooo!" said Bart.
"The first thing to do in a moment of crisis is to.relax." said Duero
"Vandread Dita is nowhere to be found on the comet. Either.." reported BC.
"Oh great.NOW I can RELAX!" said Bart. "Keep checking!!!" "Hibiki! Dita! What's going on?"
"Hibiki! Dita! Read me!"
A few moments later..
"Report on unit lost."
"Nooooooooooooooo.." said Bart. "They cant be dead...they just cant."
"I have to contact Nirvana to report the loss of two members." said BC in a sorrowful tone. With that, she went to open a channel to Nirvana.
"Where are we?" said Dita after she woke up. "Uchuujin-san?! Where are you?"
"Uurgh.." groaned Hibiki as he got up.
"Uchuujn-san! Dai-jo-bu?"
"Dita? Where are we?"
"I.I don't know"
They had landed on an unmarked planet. It was totally bare except for their Vandread and some big rocks and boulders.
"How did we get here?" Hibiki thought hard as he brushed the dirt off his clothes. "The strange light..then the crash..then..ohh.." Hibiki moaned as he fell to the floor.
"Uchuujin-san! Are you okay?"
"Yup..just a little dizzy.."
"OH NO!" yelled Dita. "The Vandread!" The Vandread was damaged quite badly. "Now we'll never get out." Dita said sadly.
"Buddy..what happened?... I think I can fix it..I brought my toolbox.."
"How long are we going to be here?" asked Dita anxiously.
"Until I get this fixing done..i guess" replied Hibiki.
"Luckily I brought some food along." said Dita as she headed towards the Vandread and rummaged through the cockpit. It was a total mess.tools were strewn all over the cockpit. She cleared the mess up quickly, then finally spotted her lunchbox (yes, the one wrapped in an alien patterned cloth)
"Uchuujin-san, are you hungry? I brought some food along.I thought that you'd get hungry during the trip, but who knew that we..". Before she finished talking, Hibiki grabbed the lunch box while Dita went back to the cockpit to clear up some more. Normally Hibiki would just gobble up the food straight away, but this time he had something else on mind...
"D..Dita?"
"Hai, Uchuujin-san?" said Dita as she headed towards Hibiki.
"Are you hungry? 'Cause if you are, I could...share some of the food with..you." Hibiki stuttered.
"No, no, the food is for Uchuujin-san, don't mind Dita."
"No.. I insist you have some too.."
"Dita insists Uchuujin-san have it all."
Hibiki was starting to feel annoyed.. "Listen, if you don't eat, neither will I !"
Dita finally gave up and said "hai.."
So they sat down together and ate the food.
"I know I never told you this before..but I really... like your cooking" said Hibiki. Dita blushed. "arigato, Uchuujin-san"
Night approached... And it was then only Dita and Hibiki realized that they had another problem..
"Uchuujin-san.. where are we going to sleep tonight?"
"Oh.. I forgot all about that!" said Hibiki, scratching his head, thinking of a plan.
A few moments later, Dita said "Uchuujin-san, why don't we sleep in the cockpit? I know it's dumb, but I don't have any other idea.."
At first Hibiki hesitated, but then he had no choice but to agree.. "That sounds okay"
Hibiki had wanted to start fixing the damage, but now he was so sleepy he just had to call it a night. He and Dita just managed to position themselves comfortably in the cockpit.
"Uchuujin-san?"
"What is it, baka?"
"Dita had always wanted to ask Uchuujin-san..does Uchuujin-san hate Dita?"
Hibiki was somewhat startled at the question. "No.why do you ask?"
"Because Uchuujin-san always gets angry when Dita is around, and calls Dita names..but Dita wants Uchuujin-san to know, Dita acted that way because.. Dita has always been fascinated by aliens..Dita hoped that one day aliens would come and take us all to a better place...but Dita doesn't want that to happen anymore."
"Why not?" said Hibiki. He was listening intently to Dita. And for once, he wanted to know what she was going to say.
"Because Dita has found someone better than aliens.."
"..."
"Dita has found Uchuujin-san.."
"Me?? Why me?"
"Because being with Uchuujin-san makes Dita happy..Dita wants to share all her feelings with Uchuujin-san..Gasco was right...if you love someone.you would want to support everything they do. When Dita met Uchuujin-san, Dita wanted to know more about Uchuujin-san.but curiousity slowly turned into something else.. when Uchuujin-san is not around Dita.Dita feels alone.and Dita has often wondered why Dita thinks about Uchuujin-san everyday.it's because Dita loves Uchuujin-san."
Something struck Hibiki in his mind. 'now I know why I have those funny feelings when I'm around her..and also why I often think of her. and I feel like there's something missing when she's not there.'
"Dita..I have to tell you something.."
"h..hai? Uchuujin-san?"
"It's true that I always call you names and stuff...but the truth is..you're gonna have to pay attention..'cause I'm only gonna say this once."
"hai.?"
"I..I..lo.lo.love you..." Hibiki's face was turning bright scarlet.
"Nani? Can Uchuujin-san say it again?
"I love you Dita"
"R.Really? Uchuujin-san?"
Hibiki nodded. His face was as red as ever.
"Dita is glad to hear that!" said Dita as she changed her position to hug Hibiki.
Hibiki got a slight shock at what Dita just did..Dita was crushing Hibiki.Hibiki slowly put his arms around Dita. Dita turned scarlet. They hugged for awhile..and then Hibiki suddenly realized what he was doing... and let go of Dita immediately.and turned scarlet again.
"Well..umm..goodnight Dita" Hibiki said in an unnatural tone.
But Dita was already asleep. Her head slept on Hibiki's chest. Hibiki ignored this for once and closed his eyes.
The next day.
Dita was still asleep, but Hibiki was wide awake.
Hibiki had some problems sleeping yesterday.. he felt he couldn't sleep with Dita beside him. Suddenly, Dita opened her eyes and stared at Hibiki. Their eyes stayed locked for quite awhile. Until Hibiki said, "C..can you get off? My feet are numb already.."
"H.haaai.Uchuujin-san!" Dita giggled as she got off Hibiki.
"I'm really hungry.too bad we finished the food yesterday.." sighed Hibiki.
Dita opened her backpack and took something out.
"Uchuujin-san.. Dita has a surprise for you!" Dita said excitedly. "Close your eyes, Uchuujin-san"
Hibiki did as he was told and Dita placed something in his hands.
"Open your eyes, Uchuujin-san!"
Hibiki opened his eyes, "Wow! Where did you get this?" he said as he stared at the lunchbox full of rice balls.
"Dita made some extra food in case Uchuujin-san didn't have enough. Dita used different ingredients so that the food would still be tasty although it's cold."
"umm.you have some first. I want to fix the Vandread."
"Can Dita help Uchuujin-san?"
"Are you cra..I mean...s..sure." Hibiki seemed to be nicer to Dita after yesterday, which made Dita really happy.
Hibiki and Dita worked on the Vandread the whole afternoon..
"Finally!" said Hibiki, sweat streaming from his hair onto his red face.
"SUGOI!!!" yelled Dita. Her hands were greasy and dirty, but she didn't care one bit, as she was proud that their hard worked had paid off. Vandread Dita looked a lot better than it was when they arrived, and it was ready to take off.
"We'll finally get out of this ruddy place. Oi, Dita, are you done with exploring this place? or do you want to stay here?" said Hibiki, eager to leave.
"I'm coming, Uchuujin-san!" said Dita as she hopped over to Hibiki.
"Can you stop fooling around acting like a 3 year-old?" said Hibiki impatiently.
"Haaaai!" yelled Dita. Hibiki slapped his forehead.
Without wasting anymore time, they took off.
"Yatta! We're outta here!"
"U..Uchuujin-san.?"
"Nani?"
"umm..where are we going?"
"I'll try to find help through the radar.." Hibiki said unsurely. Dita could tell that he was worried.
After about half an hour of drifting pointlessly in space, Hibiki caught sight of a ship on the radar.
"Uchuujin-san..look!" said Dita.
"Could it be.?" said Hibiki.
"Yes! Yes! It is! Uchuujin-san! It's..."
"NIRVANA!"
A/N: so? What do you think? Pls review. I don't mind flames. Ja~
Stranded
"Can I really come along, Uchujin-san?" said Dita.
"Sure, if you want to.." said Hibiki.
"Sugoi! Uchuujin-san!" shrieked Dita.
"But first, I have to get permission from BC, wait here." said Hibiki.
"Hai!" said Dita.
"Are you sure you want to go out there and explore the comet?" said BC.

"She..she wants to come along and it's none of my business!" said Hibiki.
"Then how is she going there?" asked BC, thus ending the discussion between Bart and Hibiki.
"Don't look at me, I don't know how she's getting there. Using her Dread I guess." Hibiki said.
"But her Dread is still at Nirvana, isn't it?" asked BC.
"Why are you asking me for? Ask her!" said Hibiki.
"Go get her, then.."
