It has been about 4 years since Hitomi returned to earth, for some reason or another she had landed on earth back to the timeline where her family and friends where aware that she had gone missing for a few months. She figured that the last time she returned to earth, when she was back with Amano just like the day before she had left, that the reason for this weird time gap was that she was upset at the time of her return, and that perhaps when she wished to go back to earth she regretted coming to Gaea and so she had wished for everything to be back to normal meaning that she wished none of it had happened so she went back to the time where she was happy.
But when she willingly returned to earth she returned to a worried family. Her family asked questions and wonder where she had been all this time and offered that if she wanted they would ask a psychiatrist to check her out but she turned this down because she new she was fine.
So time went bye and things went to normal and all traces of her adventure stared to fade.
Everyday she missed Gaea more… but what could she do, she couldn't go back… or could she?
Well she…. She was in Love with Van and she new that as long as he was okay then she would be too or at least she convinced herself that she was okay.
"WAKE UP!! Your gonna be late for school!"
"ALRIGHT!" Hitomi yelled exhausted as she got out of her bed and fumbled about for her school uniform not aware of what she was doing because she was still half asleep.
She stared into nothingness as she flung on her pack back, went down stairs and out the door with the grace of drunken fool.
She heard her mother call after her "Hitomi wait!!" but she was sure her mom would only pester her about frivolous matters that did not concern her at great part.
Yes it was true, she was happy that everything was back to normal, but everyday she missed all those who had grown on her during her stay on Gaea and she yearned to be able to see them once more.
Hitomi got to the subway and met her best friend, Yukari, who was waiting for her and who was surprised that Hitomi wasn't running late for once
"Hey Hitomi are you feeling okay?" asked Yukari in curiosity as she started to laugh
"Fine" Hitomi replied puzzled as to why she was laughing
"What's gotten into you? And where is lover boy?" scorned Hitomi as she made kissy faces in the direction of her friend. This made Yukari laugh even more "He Hes is in the the restroom" still laughing
"Well you see it's just that you… you forgot to put your uniform on" Calming down, Yukari hesitated and then looked at the floor ashamed, in a way, to be seen with Hitomi.
The first thing that popped into Hitomis' head was that it couldn't be that bad…For one I at least HAVE clothes on…right so I'm not naked or anything…. She hesitated as she looked down at herself and noticed that she was wearing a dress that she had gotten from Millerna …..huh?
"What on earth?!?!" Hitomi exclaimed as she tugged at her dress in all directions
"How did I get into this outfit????" Hitomi wondered as she gathered her thought and realized what she had done
. +* Flash Back*+.
"WAKE UP!! Your gonna be late for school!"
"ALRIGHT! Hitomi yelled as she got out of her bed and fumbled around for her school uniform not aware of what she was doing because she was still half asleep
STOP REWIND! Wow what did I do? Oh well now that I think about it I had the dress lying on my desk and so I guess I assumed that it was my uniform how dumb!
OKAY PLAY
Hitomi stared into nothingness as she went down stairs and out the door she heard her mother call after her "Hitomi wait!!" but she was sure her mom would only pester her about frivolous matters
Now that I think about it I think mother was trying to tell me what I had done!
I should have listened and stayed!
. +*ANOTHER FALSH BACK*+.
Hitomi and Van kneeling at Folken's Tomb, praying
"Brother, we've finally come home to our homeland, Fanelia. Watch over our country's future from here."
It seems like so long ago when I first came here to Fanelia…
So what happens now? Asks Hitomi
"Everyone's dreams will go on creating Gaea." Replies Van
Van hops onto Escaflowne and takes out the energist and hops back down
"Thanks Escaflowne"
"Van…" Hitomi said, surprised
"Escaflowne should be kept asleep; my brother's wish was for a Fanelia…a Gaea…where no one would rely on it. I want to see what that world is like." Replied Van
"I want to see it with you or can I? I like Gaea and Fanelia" Hitomi said, worried as she looked into van's eyes
"If you want its fine with me" van replied sweetly
"Ei?"
"But we can see each other anytime, right? So long as our thoughts reach each other." Van said innocently
"Van" Hitomi replied as a tear rolled down her cheek
"Here"
Hitomi extended her arm out with her pendant in it…
"Keep it Van"
Van takes it from her and at the same time pulls her close to him, and they embrace for the last time.
"I won't forget you even when I'm old
I'll never forget"
The spirits of Vans mother and father gaze upon the couple and then Princess, Marlene, and her Husband, the Duke of Freid, do as well and Nariya and Eriya with Folken who is hugging both of them and Balgus is present as well
Van then holds up the energist and a pillar of blue light engulfs them and sends Hitomi back to the mystic moon
"I won't forget you!"
Hitomi, Back on Earth, is standing by the sea leaning on a rail looking out into the ocean as some of her friends chatter in the back round
I'm so jealous of Yukari!! Yeah! She and Amano are a perfect couple!
It's like they were destined to be together!
As she is gazing she stops…
Vans sitting on some rocks wearing her pendant
He smiles at her
"Van…
I'm doing fine."
Van then disappears……
*****End of all the Flash backs*******
"Its okay Hitomi" exclaimed Yukari "you can just go home or say u are doing a presentation for… for History!"
But Hitomi just sat there
Sad and alone….
"Why?! why didn't I stay! I should have listened! There is no one like Van, how could I be so foolish!! I will never see him again, my pendant is gone and he probably forgot about me already but I will keep my Promise I will never forget him…
Hitomi grew angry at her current situation
We can see each other so long as our thoughts reach each other! Why isn't he thinking of me I need him and I am thinking of him all the time but he does not appear… Sure occasionally I will catch a feather that vanishes or a whisper of his name as the wind blows past me, but when I need him the most he is not here! I thought he said we could reach each other why isn't it working?! I don't get it!"
At this Hitomi exploded and let out all the anger she had built inside
"GO HOME?!? I HAVE NO HOME!! How could u say such an insensitive thing just because you have Amano doesn't mean you have to make the rest of us feel inferior!?!?!" Hitomi shouted as she dashed to one end of the train waiting for the next stop so that she could get as far away from her now shocked friend as she could.
It seemed like at least an hour before the train came to a halt but Hitomi just waited not daring to look at Yukari. She sat thinking in her own misery and then when the train stopped she got off not looking back and not knowing where she now was…
