Wanna Switch With Me, Hitomi?

Ch.5- Day 1 ½. Hitomi's Little Sister and the New Vision
Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne, and if I did, Van would be MINE.
A/N: Hey, I'm back. Sorry it took so long to update, but school just got out and I've been sick (damn summer sickness). This story will be harder to update, since school is out, but I WILL do it. Okay, this is called *Day 1 ½ * because I realized that in Ch.3, I didn't quite finish the whole day, so in this chapter, I am going to finish the day. I'd like to thank cheetahchow, who has so far been the ONLY person to review this story, for reviewing. Thank ya lots, cheetahchow. R/R please.
Hitomi climbed into the red truck and was silent as she was driven home. Once home, she hopped out of the truck and inside the house. The door opened and 2 dogs ran up to Hitomi. She didn't know the names of the dogs, so she just pet them. Hitomi saw a hallway that led to 5 different rooms. With her backpack on her shoulder, Hitomi walked down the hallway looking for her room.
The first 2 doors Hitomi came to led to a bathroom and an office. Hitomi shrugged and kept walking. The last 3 rooms led to 3 bedrooms. The one on the right had a small bed and stuffed animals everywhere. "This can't be my room." Hitomi said. The room on the left was very clean with a king-sized bed in it. "I know this isn't my room." In front of her was a door with a sign that read, "Hitomi's room." "Aahh...this is it." Hitomi sighed as she opened the door.
Hitomi's room was even messier than her school binder. Books, clothes, and papers were scattered all over the floor and her bed. The room was small and Hitomi could barely lay on the bed with her legs stretched out (mostly because there was stuff all over the bed). The room was also so cluttered that she had to watch her feet while walking so she wouldn't step on anything.
Next to her bed was a desk with a computer on it with a Van and Hitomi screensaver, but instead of Hitomi, there was Kristina. So it was a Van and Kristina screensaver (Escachick357 faints). To the right of the computer was a large picture of Hitomi and her 6 friends in a picture frame. One the bottom of the frame were the words "Hitomi, Amanda, Sarah, Nicole, Joy, Brittany, and Heather. Best Friends Forever".
Hitomi sighed. She had a feeling that her life on the Mystic Moon was going to be perfect. On Hitomi's pillow, there was a note that read:
"Hitomi,
These are today's chores:
1. Clean room
3. Help Missy with homework
5. Do your homework
7. Feed animals
9. Sweep kitchen floor
11. Vacuum living room floor
13. Help Missy practice for her school play
15. Have all of the above done by 7:30
I'll be home at 8:45.
-Mom"
Once Hitomi finished reading the note, she asked herself, "Who's Missy?" She shrugged her shoulders and decided to start cleaning her room.
It may have seemed like a harmless, quick chore, but it really wasn't. As she picked up clothes, Hitomi saw a grayish-white colored piece of still fur. She sighed and started to pick up the item...then it started to move. Hitomi was so surprised that she dropped everything in her hands. The item picked up its head and revealed itself to be a Himalayan cat that was just interrupted from its nap. The tag on its collar revealed it to be a female named Yuffie (A/N: I really do have a Himalayan cat named Yuffie).
Hitomi put all the clothes on the floor in a pile on her bed next to Yuffie, who got back to her sleeping position. Hitomi opened the door and began to put all the clothes in the pile in her arms, unfortunately, the last thing she grabbed was Yuffie's tail. As she accidentally pulled, a loud meow of pain filled the room and a lightening fast paw struck Hitomi's left hand...the very hand that held Yuffie's tail. Hitomi cried out in pain and let go of Yuffie's tail. The cat quickly ran out of the room.
Hitomi carried the clothes to the laundry hamper in the bathroom. She looked at her left hand and saw 3 scratches. They weren't bleeding, so she ignored them and continued on cleaning her room wondering who Missy was. When everything in her room was organized, the entire house started to shake. Items on the shelves rattled and some books fell to the ground. A high-pitched yell filled the house, "Hitomi! I'm home!" A little girl ran inside Hitomi's room and began squeezing the life out of her.
The little girl jumped up and down, making her blonde curls bounce and blue eyes sparkle. "Dad said you have to help me with my play! And you know what? I've got no homework tonight!" The girl yelled. Hitomi looked at the blue backpack on the girl's back and read the words "Missy" and realized that on the Mystic Moon, she was given an over-hyper 10 year old sister.
Missy grabbed a packet of papers from her backpack written in script form entitled "Julius Caesar" (A/N: it's a Shakespeare play filled with words that I don't even understand). "What the? What kind of teacher would have 10 year olds doing *Julius Caesar*?" Hitomi asked. Missy smiled and said, "You said that my teacher and the rest of the school board is full of dumbasses that wouldn't know intelligence if it bit them in the ass." "Oh...right. Now who are you playing?" Hitomi asked. "I'm playing Brutus!" Missy answered proudly. Hitomi then practiced her lines with Missy.
Hitomi, who was glad to have no homework, had to feed the animals. There were 4 bowls on the kitchen floor (she had 2 dogs and 2 cats) and all she had to do was put some dry food in the bowls. Unfortunately, her feet were crowded by the animals as she tried pouring the food in the bowls. It was hard, but she did it.
Her next task was to vacuum the living room. There wasn't much to vacuum, so she had no problem doing it. By the time she was done, the animals left the kitchen and Hitomi was free to sweep the floor. She was finished with all of her chores at 6:30 and her *dad* made hamburgers for dinner. Dinner took an hour to eat and Hitomi had exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes before her *mom* came home.
Hitomi enjoyed the rest of the night. At 9:45, she was told to go to bed. She felt relieved to lay in Kristina's bed, which was almost as comfortable as the beds in Van's castle. She quickly fell into a deep sleep. But before she fell victim to the unconciousness of sleep, she smiled. Merle wouldn't scream at her, Allen wouldn't hit on her, and she wouldn't have to be in a battle all for a week.
Once her body lost its conciousness, she had a little vision in her dream. A boy with brown hair and brown eyes walked up to Hitomi as she sat in a field. "Uh...Hitomi..." The boy started. "Yes?" Hitomi asked. "I...uh...I..." The boy continued. "Are you okay?" Hitomi asked. The boy gulped.
"I...have to tell you something."
"Yes?"
"I...I..."
"Are you all right?"
"Uhhh...we've been in the same PE class for a year as well as the same Physics class."
"Yes, is there something wrong?"
"Hitomi, I really like you."
"As friends?"
"No....I REALLY like you. Hitomi, I...."
Suddenly a loud whistle blew through the air, waking Hitomi from her vision/dream.
Hitomi's green eyes opened as she asked, "Who was that boy? And what did he want to tell me?" She sighed and just assumed it was all a pointless dream. She closed her eyes and let sleep take over her body.
End Chapter 5
***
A/N: Well, that was it. In my next chapter, Kristina will survive her second day on Gaea. Oh, and later on Hitomi will find out who the boy is and Missy will have an important part in the story later on. So see ya, and please R/R, but don't flame.
