Something didn't feel right at that moment for Fiona. Moonbay had
disappeared without giving Fiona the complete truth because she could tell
that there was something that Moonbay wasn't telling her and it was
starting to make her wonder what it was. She was starting to wish that she
had dug into the situation a little deeper and found out what it was that
Moonbay was hiding.
Fiona was so deep in thought that she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. She was running a brush through her hair a bit too roughly but she had yet to even feel it.
"You know, I don't think you should keep doing that or it will ruin that beautiful hair of yours," came Matt's voice from the doorway behind Fiona. He laughed slightly before he walked in through the door and stopped Fiona from destroying her hair.
"Oh, sorry," said Fiona with a slight blush of embarrassment. "I was just thinking of something and I guess that I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing," said Fiona looking at the floor in embarrassment.
"Well try to pay a little more attention or you might end up tearing it out of that beautiful head of yours and I am sure that that is something that you don't want to happen," said Matt with a smirk. He now stood in front of Fiona. "Care to talk about what is on your mind at the moment?" asked Matt getting down to look Fiona in the eyes.
"Moonbay was supposed to come earlier today but she called saying that she wasn't going to get here for a few more days. I could tell that there was something that she wasn't telling me and it is starting to make me wonder a little bit," said Fiona giving off a small pout.
Matt couldn't help but give off a small smile. "I am sure that she had her reasons or maybe she didn't know of what it was either so she couldn't tell you. You did say that she was a transporter, so maybe a very important job came up and she was forced to go to do that real quickly. You really shouldn't worry about it too much though," said Matt still smiling while trying to find some way to make Fiona stop worrying so much so that the wedding would go a lot smoother.
"Yeah, I guess your right," said Fiona finally stopping her worrying and putting a smile on her face. She saw him smile back at her before he stood up and started to walk to the door. "Where are you going?" asked Fiona trying to stop him.
"I just remembered that there was a phone call that I had to make. I will talk to you when I am finished," said Matt before he walked out of the door. Only a few seconds after that he walked back in with a grin. "Oh by the way. Be gentle with you hair or you will end up tearing it out," he said before he once again disappeared behind the door with it closing behind him.

"How are we going to do this exactly?" asked Moonbay who was drawing up blanks about how to deal with the problem that Van was having at that moment. Everyone was up for trying to get Fiona and Van back together but they didn't know how it was that they were going to get him back to his normal self in time.
"We really have no choice but to work on it along the way. As it is, we might barely be able to make it in time if we were to start going now," said Thomas with his head in his hands in deep thought.
"What we need to do is find a way to get him to actually respond to what we are saying or else we won't be able to do anything. He'll live, that is for sure but unless he is healthy then maybe we won't be able to do anything," said Irvine trying to think of any way in which they could actually get this to work.
"The truth is that Fiona is really the only one who might actually be able to get to him," said Thomas but the glares that Irvine and Moonbay sent him didn't even make him flinch. "Think about it. She might be very worried about him but it could delay the wedding for a while which could give us a little extra time. I don't want to see Fiona with Matt even if she can't be with me. She loves Van and if she is happy then I am happy," said Thomas in a disappointed tone.
Irvine looked at Moonbay for an answer. He had no idea what to do, Thomas did have a point and to tell the truth he really didn't trust that Matt guy ever since he met him. It was like there was something secretive about him that sent shivers down Irvine's spine at the moment they first met.
Moonbay looked at Irvine at the same time that he looked at her. Her thoughts were the same in that Thomas was right for once. "Maybe your right. She is smart and she will eventually find out at some point and it would be best if it was us that told her," Moonbay said while letting off a sigh before she got up and started to walk to the door knowing that it might not be the best of conversations.

Fiona found herself once again staring at the blade liger. It was something she wished to put behind her but having the blade liger with her had made things a bit easier on her over these few years. Her mind was a mess, it seemed to have pulled her towards the blade liger that night for reasons that she was unsure of. Looking at it now brought up even stranger feelings, feelings like she was missing something at that moment that gave her a bad feeling.
"So this is the infamous blade liger," came Matt's voice as he walked up to Fiona's side very silently. "In all of the time that we have been together, this is the first time that I have actually seen it. I am surprised that I didn't notice it when you first came here," said Matt staring at the blade liger with a look of pride. "It sure is a beauty," he muttered underneath his breath.
"Yeah, I guess it is," said Fiona quietly looking down at the floor. 'It is also a reminder of my past. Something I wish I could put behind but I can never seem to be able to do that,' Fiona told herself.
"Just looking at it now, it makes me wish to feel what he felt while piloting it. Feel the power that is hidden deep within its beautiful exterior," said Matt as he took a few steps forward towards the blade liger. He reached out a hand to touch it.
"No! Don't touch it," said Fiona quickly grabbing his hand. Fiona had no idea why she had just done that. It was a strange feeling that she would lose her past should another use it. 'But isn't that what I want?' Fiona asked herself taking a few steps back with Matt watching her with a curious glance.
"Why not? We're getting married, so wouldn't that make this partly mine as well? Why is it that you didn't want me to touch it?" asked Matt keeping his curious stare on Fiona. He saw her own confusion with herself while he was looking at her.
"I-I don't know," said a quiet Fiona taking a few steps away. Fiona figured that she might as well change the subject so she wouldn't have to think about what she had done really means. "So how did your important call go?" asked Fiona trying to put on a smile.
"It went just fine. It was mainly just a few plans that I was making to make sure that this wedding goes along perfectly without any distractions," said Matt as he wrapped his arms around Fiona's waist. "Everything will be perfect," he whispered into her ear.
"That's good," said Fiona but something in the back of her mind was really bothering her but she couldn't quite place what it was at that moment. It was something like what had brought her out to the blade liger earlier that day.
"What's wrong now?" asked Matt seeing a bit of uncertainty within Fiona eyes. "You aren't thinking about stopping the wedding now when it is so close are you?" asked Matt hoping that that wasn't what she was thinking about.
"No, it isn't that. I want it to go on. It is just. Never mind. It is kind of stupid. You don't really need to hear about it right now," said Fiona with a slight giggle. She was lying though. Something was really starting to feel wrong for her and she was desperate to find out what it was that was constantly plaguing the back of her mind within these past two weeks.
"If you have something to say then I would be glad to hear about it. I am going to be your future husband so I feel like I have the right to know what it is that is wrong with my future wife," said Matt looking Fiona straight in the eye.
"I told you it is nothing. I have just been having a bit of a headache these past few weeks and it is really starting to get to me I guess," said Fiona which wasn't far from the truth because all of the constant thinking she had been doing to think about what it was that had been bugging her had been giving her a migraine as it was.
"You know, I can always help you with that," said Matt trying his best to make his voice as sexy as he could. "Why don't we just go up to my room and I will do something for you that will take your mind off of that headache of yours," said Matt with a smirk as he grabbed Fiona around the waist and started to pull her towards his room but she pulled out of it.
"No! That is something that will be saved for the wedding night and not before then. I have told you this so many times so will you please just drop the subject about it because my choice will remain the same every time," said Fiona because it was a common thing for him to take every chance that he could get to get her. Fiona didn't know why she put up with it but he never did try to use force but always left it up to her final decision.
Matt merely pouted at this. "But the wedding is in only two weeks so I don't think that it will matter if we celebrate a little early," said Matt trying to persuade her otherwise.
"Forget it because I am not giving myself to anyone unless they are my husband and not before that. So just drop the subject now," said Fiona in a stern voice. She looked at him pout but he agreed anyways. She smiled and kissed him before she walked off to get some sleep for the night.

Irvine and Thomas waited very patiently. Moonbay had been gone a lot longer than either of them had expected her to be as long as she had but then again this was a very delicate situation for them to break to Fiona.
"How do you think Fiona is going to react?" asked Thomas as his mind tried to place all the possible situations Moonbay could be in at that moment with either trying to calm her down or actually get her to say something.
"I predict a little yelling, crying, possible a passing out on Fiona part from shock. I can tell you that it is most likely not going to be too pretty on Moonbay's part. Thank god its not me that has to tell her," said Irvine with a sigh.
Thomas looked like he was about to say something but Moonbay walked into the door a few moments later with a glum look on her face. "I guess that I don't have to ask to know that it didn't really go to well with Fiona," said Thomas but he received a no from Moonbay. "What do you mean?" asked Thomas with a confused look on his face.
"I couldn't tell her. Apparently communications have been down all over the continent for the past few hours and won't be up for a week or two. We can't wait that long though. If we want to tell her then we have to get going now," said Moonbay in a sad tone.
"As long as Van is the way that he is then we really can't do anything though. I suggest that we sleep on it and decide what we are going to do in the morning. Maybe then we will be able to come up with some sort of plan," said Irvine letting off a loud yawn.
When he received a nod from the other two, they walked towards their room. However, Irvine didn't go to his room immediately. Instead he walked into the room where Van was being held at that moment.
"Look at you. Are you just going to stay like that like you have been for the past two weeks?" said Irvine in an annoyed voice. "I just thought you would like to know that in a matter of a few weeks, Fiona is going to be getting married," said Irvine but what he didn't notice about Van at that moment was that upon the mentioning of Fiona's name there was a slight twitch in Van's fingers. "If you want to have any chance of being with her then you had better get better very quickly," said Irvine before he turned around and walked out of the room very quickly.
The room was very quiet then except for the constant beeping of the machine that was monitoring Van's heart rate. The beeping suddenly started to increase a little and became faster and faster. Suddenly, Van's eyes shot open.
Fiona was so deep in thought that she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. She was running a brush through her hair a bit too roughly but she had yet to even feel it.
"You know, I don't think you should keep doing that or it will ruin that beautiful hair of yours," came Matt's voice from the doorway behind Fiona. He laughed slightly before he walked in through the door and stopped Fiona from destroying her hair.
