False Hope
As Van walked into the Austurian palace of King Aston, he remembered the last time he was here. He smiled as he thought of Hitomi. His thoughts were interrupted as a servant came to him and told him that the King was ready to see him.
When Van walked into the main hall of the palace, he noted the gold doors, floors, window frames, chairs...actually, everything was in the room was gold. King Aston was doing very well. He looked to the throne and saw King Aston sitting on there with his fingers together and watching him as usual. Next to him was his daughter, Princess Millerna. Van raised his hand to wave at her, but just stopped himself just in time. It was not proper to wave to a princess no mater how much they'd been through. He walked up the throne and kissed Millerna's hand.
He was about to bow to King Aston, but before he could, King Aston said "No need for formality. We are allies now! Come sit down and have dinner with us."
"Thank you King Aston," said Van as he sat down in the gold chair with embroidered coverings. He was afraid to touch the tablecloth because it seemed if he touched it, he would dirty it. Everything was immaculate and perfect.
"How are you Van?" asked Millerna as she signaled a servant to start to serve them.
Millerna moves with such confidence thought Van as he saw her directing the servants with just her eyes and gestures. I wonder when she is going to get married again. I'll need to become good friends with him quickly if I want Fanelia to keep on growing. A king always had to think towards the future for his kingdom.
"I'm fine," replied Van. "Fanelia is doing great after we finished rebuilding it. Our trade has been much better ever since we made the alliance with your father. That's all thanks to you, right?"
Millerna blushed as she answered, "No, no! It really isn't! Father saw you as a great ally and made you one all by himself."
They both looked to King Aston and saw him watching them intently. He glanced at Millerna and then Van. Van could tell that the gears in his head were working.
What is he planning thought Van.
I'll need underwear, bras, shirts, and shorts thought Hitomi. I need to make sure I have everything for this trip.
"Don't worry Van," thought Hitomi. "I won't let you die!"
"Will I need a dress?" thought Hitomi aloud as she walked to her bag with a bra in hand.
"Probably yes or else the teachers will kick you out."
Hitomi turned around to find the owner of the voice. She saw Amano standing in the doorway. Hitomi's breathe caught in her throat. What do I say thought Hitomi.She blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
"Why will I need a dress?" asked Hitomi. Hitomi mentally smacked herself. Here she was pretending like seeing Amano was an everyday thing.
Amano didn't answer. Instead he looked at her hand and turned around blushing. Hitomi glanced at her hand and saw her bra. She quickly stuffed it into her bag. Once Amano heard that she was finished, he turned around and casually leaned against the doorway again.
"Snowball is tonight...you didn't remember did you?" asked Amano with a pained expression.
Hitomi smacked her head for real this time and fell on the bed. Snowball was a big winter dance for the seniors at her college, and she had been looking forward to this day since she was a freshman. The main thing about the preparation for the dance was that girls ask the guys to the dance in a special way that is out of the ordinary. Many people in the past had asked people to the dance by announcements in the beginning of the day or by making something for their date that had the question written on it. Tickets were $70, but it was money well spent because the decorations were spectacular. The theme was always white so the decorations were all white and all the girls were supposed to wear white. Every year, they hired the best DJ in town (money was no object), and they played the music videos of the songs playing on TV's all around the hall. The best food was served, and the party lasted well into the morning. Also, some people would always have a party at their house afterward. This year, she and Amano had decided to go to Keiko's party. She was going to have everyone spend the night at her mansion, and then she had rented out an entire country club the next day, so everyone would eat brunch and lunch there. There were also a lot of activities there such like swimming, golf, and tennis.
When Hitomi (and many other girls) heard that Amano was coming back to Japan for a little while, she wanted to go with Amano because there were no other boys that she wanted to go with. The problem was, there were many boys that wanted to go with her. Fortunately for her, the girls asked the guy to Snowball. 1 month before Snowball, boys were already dropping hints that they wanted her to ask them to Snowball. But Hitomi didn't want to go with any of them. Then 3 weeks before Snowball, Yukari came up to her and told her that Amano was coming back. Hitomi had been wondering why many of the guys were walking around with long faces.

"A lot of the girls are going to ask Amano to Snowball when he comes back from America. But I have his phone number so you can ask him to Snowball before anyone else even has a chance," said Yukari as she glared at all the girls around them.
Anxiously, Hitomi looked at her best friend and asked, "But shouldn't you go with Amano?"
Yukari looked thoughtful for a moment before she replied, "No...ever since we broke up, I've thought about him night and day. I really want to go with him and get back together, but he would never agree if I ask him. He believes in cutting all ties. He'll think I'm stalking him or something anyway. I want you to go with him because I know you won't steal him away. If you go with him, then someone else can't steal him away and that gives me time to win him back. So, will you please do this for me? Please..."
End Flashback
Hitomi was so happy that because she'd much rather go with Amano than any one of her stalkers.
Turns out Yukari had already known that she would say yes. Yukari had already called Amano's friend and gotten him to put the words 'Will you go to Snowball with me? Love, Hitomi' on Amano's car. Amano joyfully called Hitomi that night and told her yes.
Hitomi came back to present when Amano said, "Hitomi?"
"I'm sorry Amano," said Hitomi as she sat up on the bed.
"It's all right," he said as he sat down on the bed next to her. "It's a good thing I came early. I wanted to surprise you because I haven't seen you in what...4 years?"
"Yeah. Really long time," said Hitomi uncomfortably. She was sitting so close to him. Hopefully Yukari didn't walk in on them like last time.
"Tomorrow morning I'll come for you, Van" thought Hitomi mentally.
"Well, I'd better get ready," said Hitomi as she reached for her dress which was hanging right behind Amano, but she slipped on her rug and fell on top of Amano so that she was lying on top of him.
She felt her face turn red as she apologized and tried to push herself off him. But Amano stopped her by putting one of his hands around her waist and the other one on the back of her head. She froze as he pulled her face towards him and kissed her full on the mouth.
