"Guys! It's you!"

"Hitomi!"

The friends were caught in a group hug. Hitomi hadn't realized how long she kept her friends waiting, and was relieved to see them. "How in the hell did you find me here?" asked Hitomi as they all broke part. "That's the million dollar question" stated Akane. "We were just standing in your room one minute looking at a picture of all of us when-"

"You came here. It's the power of wish" identified Hitomi, not letting Akane finish her sentence. "Um..Hitomi, I'm a little lost here" said Van, complying that he was still here. "Oh! Sorry Van. These are my best friends Yukari, Amano, and Akane" she introduced as they bowed in respect.

"Guys, this is my lover, Van" Hitomi exclaimed as he wrapped his arms around her. The three went wide eyed. "So you finally found a boy friend! I told you Hitomi! It's about time!" Yukari claimed happily nudging her. "Whoa, little Hitomi thins she's a big girl now huh?" chuckled Amano, rubbing his hand on Hitomi's hair. "This is good Hitomi. Your very lucky" stated Akane with a smile.

"So you guys are Hitomi's friends?" asked Merle as she examined all of them. The group of them did the same. They studied all three of them with each detailed manner. Mole man couldn't help himself to Yukari though. "Ah, young lady, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you must be with that necklace on?" he asked observing Yakari's sapphire gemmed necklace.

"Erm... No last time I check.." she confusingly replied. Merle then ceased the chance to bite mole man right on the peek of his nose, causing him to cry out. "Don't you even think of swiping that off of her you quack fortune teller!" shouted Merle as Yukari chuckled. She could tell she was going to get along with her some how.

"Hmm..... This is pretty unique....." Examined Gaddess as he went around Amano with his brows furrowed. "Hey boss, this guy looks just like you!"

"No joke, they do look a lot a like" said Millerna examining first Alan then Amano. Only he has brown and shorter hair.

"I wouldn't talk Millerna" said Alan with a smirk. "What?" she asked. "You and this Akane girl look alike too" stated Alan as Millerna casted her eyes over to Akane. He did have a pretty good point. She had Millerna's long brown hair (Hey reminder everyone, Watched the Escaflowne movie, so as I said, a change in the plot! Deal with it!) and sort of her face tone. "Well you do have a point" said Millerna as Akane let out a sigh showing she was approved. She was afraid a girl like Millerna was going to say something to counter her. It was a good thing she showed at least a good decency of looking like her a bit.

"Van, we are still going to Millerna's kingdom right?" asked Hitomi. "Yeah, but we have a little catch this year" he smirked. "Like what?" she asked as he pointed out of the window. Hitomi, Merle, Yukari, Amano, and Akane walked over the window to see what he was getting at. Hitomi let out a gasp, as did everyone else. "We're riding to there on the Abahoroki ship" said Alan.

Hitomi was in pure joy. It was going to be like old times. A four day trip to Millerna's kingdom was underway. But one adventure, exceeded them......
