*A Whole New World*

Chapter Two: WHAT THE?!.GAEA!.HUH?

The night was calm and cold. The only light was the glow of the Mystic Moon. A young man stood on a balcony looking up to the sky. Seeing the moon and the Mystic Moon. The young man had wild black hair. His eyes were deep brown with pain in them. He had worn a red shirt and pale brown pants. His face was so sad. Sad cause he had lost his homeland. Fanelia. In his mind he knew there would be a war coming. A war against Zaibach, an evil force. He also knew there was no choice, he would have to fight. Fight to the death.

::"Why?":: He thought to him self. ::"Why does it have to be like this? Why did I have to lose everything that I had in such a short time? I lost my father and mother when I was child. Now I lost my homeland, Fanelia. The only thing I have right now is my good friend the cat girl and .Escaflowne. :: He closed his eyes thinking about his past. How he was so happy when he was a child. A young prince of Fanelia. He remembers how his father would pick him up and throws him into the air and catches him. His father was a kind King and a great father, his smile was so bright. But then he had to die. Then he remembers his mother. So beautiful and sweet. When he would cry his mother would always pick him up into her arms, and tell him that everything is going to be fine. Her warmth, oh how he misses that so much. But, now she was gone. Thinking deep in his memories he started to think about someone he hadn't thought about for a long time. His older brother, Folken. Remembering how they used to play in the garden with each other. His brother was a good man back than, and he loved him very much. But now.his brother was the Chief of Staff of the Zaibach military. When he found out about this he was so angry, angry that his brother turned his back on his family and Fanelia to be one of the members of Zaibach. Then he remembered how his brother was part of the plan to destroy Fanelia. In burned to the ground cause of him, cause of Folken and the Zaibach.

"Brother." He said as he was making a fist. He hated his brother. Hated him so much that he wanted.wanted to kill him. Then the young men opened his eyes looking at the Mystic Moon. " I promise that I WILL being Zaibach down and rebuild Fanelia." He said as his eyes turned dark. Then he held up his sword, it was proof that he was the new King a Fanelia. He gazed at it, looking at the symbol of his homeland. At that moment he felt completely alone.

"LORD VAN!!!"

Van (Of course) turned around knowing who was the one who called out for him. A little cat-like girl jumped on Van with her arms around him. The cat- girl was Merle and she was hugging Van very tight.

"Marle.*gasp*.you don't have to hold on so tight you know." Van said turning kind of blue. Merle giggled and loosens her grip on him. Van just looked down at her and sighed.

"Oh Lord Van, we been looking for you." Merle looked up at him with a cute smile.

"We?" Van asked as he heard someone coming. He looked up and saw a girl that was around his age with sandy blonde hair. Hitomi.

"Hey Van. What are you doing up here all by your self?" Hitomi asked as she walked up to him. Van sighed.

"Thinking." Van answered as Merle let him and sat on the edge of the balcony.

"Oh.what were you thinking about Van?" Hitomi asked shyly.

"Lord Van doesn't have to answer to YOU Hitomi!" Merle said in a mean way.

"Hey! I was just wondering. AND MERLE WHY DON'T YOU GO CHASE A RAT OR SOMETHING!!!" Hitomi yelled. The two girls looked at each other with an evil eye. Merle started hissing at Hitomi.

"STOP IT YOU TWO!" Van yelled at the girls. Hitomi and Merle looked away and crossed their arms. They were still kind of mad at each other. Van sighed and looked up at the Mystic Moon again. "If you wanted to know what I was thinking Hitomi, I was thinking about my past."

"Oh." Hitomi said as she looked down. "Did it do anything good?

"No." Van said kind of sad." It just brought up sadness and pain."

"Van." Hitomi said looking up at him. Van was still staring at the Mystic Moon, not taking his eyes off on it. Merle looked at her Lord Van, and frowned. She could see the sadness in his eyes, and it made her upset seeing him like that. Merle sighed and looked up at the Mystic Moon, it was so beautiful. Hitomi did the same thing and she couldn't help thinking why this was happening to them. ::"I wish there was someone that could help us.":: Hitomi prayed. Then suddenly a sky blue light ball came falling down to Gaea.

"What's that?" Hitomi asked

"I don't know." Van answered as he was studying the shy blue light ball.

"It's so pretty." Merle whispered. Then the shy blue light ball fell into the forest and the bright light disappeared. The three kids were looking at the forest where it fell. They were really shocked.

"Maybe we should go tell Allen about this." Hitomi said looking at Van. Van nodded a yes and with that Merle and Hitomi started to walk into the building. Van was left alone on the balcony once again.

:: "I wonder what was it?" :: Van asked in his mind. With no answer, Van turned around and walked towards the building.

Allen's Room

"So you say that you saw a sky blue light ball fallen into the forest?" Asked a man with long blonde hair. He was sitting on a chair that was facing the fire chimney. He had the most amazing blue color eyes and he was very handsome (sure.I guess.). He was a knight of Asturia. His name was Allen Schezar.

"Yes, that's right." Said Hitomi standing a few steps away from Allen on the right side.

"I see." Said Allen as he stood up facing Hitomi. Hitomi started to blush. "What do you want me to do about Hitomi?"

"Well.well." Hitomi didn't know what to say.

"Go and find out what is it." Allen and Hitomi turned their heads towards the open door. It was Van. Then he started walking up to his friends.

"Van." Allen faced him. "Why do you think that we should do that?"

"I don't know. Its just that.I want to know what was it, that's all." Van answered. Allen sighed. Then he felt something grade his right arm. It was Hitomi.

"Please Allen? Can we?" Hitomi begged him. He looked at her for a while and then he nodded a yes.

"Alright. I'll get my man and asks my friend Max if he would help us." Allen planed.

"Why should we ask your friend for help?" Van asked kind of mean.

"Because he's my friend and he's been kind enough for letting us stay here." Allen answered. (Ok I know you want to know who's Max. Well Max is another made up character of my. Don't worry he's real cool. ^_^ )

"Fine." Van said. Van didn't really trust Max. He would always get this bad feeling from him.

"Good. We're start investigating tomorrow. Now both of you get some rest." Said Allen. Hitomi and Van walked out of the room and there they met Merle. She was standing outside the room waiting for them.

"So what happened?" Merle asked.

"We're going to investigate tomorrow." Van said looking her.

"Are you going with them, Lord Van?" Merle asked kind of worried. Van nodded a yes. "If Lord Van is going, then I'll go too." Merle said crossing her arms. Hitomi smiled at them. "I might as well tag along." Hitomi smiled.

"Alright, we're begin tomorrow." Van said with a small smile.

In The Forest

The sun rose high into the sky. Birds were singing and small animals came out to greet the sunlight. A pair of crystal brown eyes opens looking up into the sky.

"Huh?" Maricel asked as she sat up. "Where am I?" Maricel got up and started looking around. She was in a middle of a field of green grass. The grasses were up to her knees. " Wow...I never seen grass that looks ..SO GREEN." Maricel smiled. Maricel took a step forward, but then she stepped on something. She looked down. "COOL! " Maricel said as she bended down. It was her backpack. "I guess it also got here from that weird sky blue and white light." Maricel said as her eyes widen. "Oh no! Lily!" Maricel put on the backpack and started calling out for her friend." LILY! LILY WHERE ARE YOU?!" Then Maricel suddenly heard a funny and loud sound. "What the hell is that?" Maricel started to walk towards the loud sound. About 10 feet from where she was, she saw a person lying on the grass. It was Lily and she was snoring like a dog. (a BIG dog.) Maricel laughed seeing her friend snoring so loud. Then she walked to her and kneels down next to her. Maricel put both of her hands on Lily's shoulders. "Lily! Lily! Lily, wake up you sleepy head." Maricel shook her kind of hard.

"Oh Allen.your so warm." Lily moaned. Maricel looked at her with her right eyebrow up. She sighed.

"Fine. Lets do this the hard way." Maricel said as she pinched Lily's nose with her left hand and covered her mouth with the other one. For at lest a one minute nothing happened, and then..

"AHHHHHH!!!" Lily scared as she sat up. Lily was gasping for air and then she saw Maricel next to her. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING?! TRYING TO KILL ME?!" Lily yelled at her. Maricel crossed her arms.

"No. I was trying to wake you up."

"OH SO PINCHING MY NOSE AND COVERING MY MOUTH WAS THE ONLY ANSWER TO THAT?!" Lily yelled, turning red of angriness.

"From the looks of it. Yep." Maricel said looking at her and started getting up. "GRRR!...YOU'RE SO MESSED UP MARICEL CLARIZA!!!" Lily screamed, then she noticed where she was. "Hey where are we?" Lily asked.

"I don't know." Maricel said looking at the forest that was in front of them. Then lily stood up next to Maricel. Lily started to walk forward till she stepped on something. She looked downed. Her eyes opened wide in confusion.

"What the hell?! How did this get here?" Lily asked as she bends down. It was Lily's red backpack. " I don't remember packing some stuff." Lily said as she opened the bag. There were some of her clothes and other stuff. " Maricel how did this get here?" Maricel walked to her.

"I don't know. I guess it got here, the same way my bad did."

"Oh.I guess." Lily said as she got up and putting the backpack on. (It's the same kind of backpack that Maricel's have.)

"Now. To find out where the hell are we." Maricel said looking around.

"Yeah, that's a good ideal." Lily said stretching her arms up. Then Lily looked up to the sky and saw something that she will never forget. "OH MY GOD?!" Maricel turned to look at her.

"What? What is it?" Maricel asked as her best friend was still looking at the sky. Maricel didn't know what she was looking at, so she lifted her head slowing to see what she was looking. Maricel went into a SHOCK MOOD. She saw the moon and the planet earth up in the sky.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Maricel yelled as she fell backwards to the ground.

"How can this be?" Lily asked. She was still surprise by the site. "MARICEL, WHERE ARE WE?" Lily asked looking at her.

"I don't know. This is so FREAKING WEIRD! All I remember was that we were sitting on your bed and we were talking about Escaflowne and." Maricel stopped right there. She remembers what happened next." And we made a wish." Maricel said, now looking at her friend.

"What?" Maricel got up fast and faced Lily.

"Lily! Don't you remember? We made a wish. We wished that we were in Escaflowne." Maricel said, putting her hands on her shoulders.

"Yeah, I remember." Lily answered her.

"I guess our wishes came true." Maricel said taking her hands off her. "Maricel, what are you talking about? Are you saying that we're in."

"Yep. We're on Gaea." Maricel said looking into her friend's eyes.
