Van just sat against a wall watching Kristi and Zeke playing with each
other. 'She is my daughter,' Van thought in a sort of disbelief. Van gave a
small chuckle. 'To think that she wanted me to be her father and I actually
was,' he thought. Van wasn't sure if Fiona had told her yet, but he wasn't
going to ask because he felt that Fiona should explain. "Fiona told you
didn't she?" asked Thomas walking up from behind Van. "Yeah," said Van.
"She doesn't know it yet," said Thomas. "I figured that. I am just going to
let Fiona tell her instead of me," said Van. "I think that that will
probably be best," said Thomas. "I know," said Van.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now?" asked Zack to the frightened soldier right in front of him. "Please forgive us sir. We checked every house in the surrounding area and did a thorough search of the area surrounding it. There was no one there," said the soldier. "Then some one must have been lying to you," said Zack in a matter of fact way. "Because considering the area is a desert for a great many miles around it they wouldn't have gotten very far," said Zack. "Sir we are starting a search of the closest city around it just in case she did manage to get through the desert," said the nervous soldier. "There is no need," said Ryan entering the room. "Why is there no need," asked a curious Zack. "She is at a military base right now," said Ryan. "Really? It is amazing how fast you found out when it took them weeks to just look and not find her," said Zack making the soldier even more nervous. "That was the good news but the bad news is that she is in the same base as Van Flyheight," said Ryan. "He really is a thorn in my side," said Zack although he didn't sound too angry. In fact he sounded rather amused. "Funny that things should end up this way again, but they wouldn't have if you had just done your job," said Zack looking at the soldier. The soldier was getting more and more scared. Next thing he knew Zack pulled out a gun and shot him. "Idiots," he mumbled as the man fell to the ground.
Van found that he was having a hard time concentrating on the work that he was doing on the blade liger. Fiona walked into the hanger and Van seemed to be looking at her every few seconds even if he tried not to. Fiona was currently talking with Moonbay at that time. 'Damn it Van. Get your mind back to your work. It is over between you and Fiona,' Van thought to himself. Yet it still didn't seem to be enough because his eyes kept on darting towards Fiona.
Fiona seemed to be having the same problem as Van. She couldn't stop looking at him. She seemed to be unaware that Moonbay was talking to her. "Hello, Fiona," said Moonbay waving a hand in front of Fiona's face. "Huh? What?" asked Fiona snapping back to reality. Moonbay just looked at her like she was crazy or something and continued to talk. The problem only continued.
Thomas who happened to be working on the dibison happened to witness the glances that the two were giving each other. One would look at the other when the other wasn't looking and when they looked away the other one would look. For him it was really starting to get on his nerves. 'Something really needs to be done about those two,' Thomas thought to himself. He wasn't as infatuated with Fiona as much now a days but it hurt him to see her like that. A beeping coming from beak brought Thomas back to the work at hand when he realized what he was doing to the dibison when he was watching the two of them. "Oh no," said Thomas getting back on track with what he was doing.
"Hey Moonbay, Irvine," yelled Thomas trying to catch up to him. "What's up?" asked Irvine. "Have you guys noticed what has been going on between Van and Fiona?" asked Thomas looking at both of them. "It's starting to get annoying isn't it," said Irvine. "I'll say. I was trying to have a talk with Fiona but she kept spacing out and looking at Van," said Moonbay. "Van was also doing the exact same thing," said Thomas. "Those two are too stubborn. They obviously still have feelings for each other but they won't admit it especially Van," said Moonbay. "We have to do something about them," said Thomas. "I say we play a little matchmaking," said Moonbay. "I think that is a good idea. If they would at least talk to each other again maybe we would actually be able to go on with our lives," said Thomas. "How to do it is the question," said Irvine. "I think I may have an idea," said Moonbay with a wide grin all over her face. Somehow Thomas and Irvine were both a little freaked out by it.
Van found that he could finally concentrate on getting his work done now that Fiona had left the hanger. "You just have to get over her Van," Van said softly to himself. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice Irvine walking up behind him until it was too late and Irvine had him in a headlock. "Hey let me go," yelled Van struggling and failing to get out of the headlock. "I don't think so. There is something that I need you to do for me," said Irvine. "What?" asked Van a little annoyed. "I need you to help me with something but I need you to come with me into town to do it," said Irvine. Van was a little suspicious about this but knew that Irvine wouldn't let go unless he did it. "Fine," said Van loosening up a bit. "Good. Now come on," said Irvine still holding on to Van and dragging him towards a vehicle he had waiting. "You can let me go now," said Van. "And take the chance of you trying to escape before you help me. Forget it," said Irvine. 'Great,' thought Van. 'Not using zoids should decreases the chance of the two being found by those people in the city because more than likely those soldiers will be looking for Van's blade liger,' thought Irvine. 'Step one complete. Now it is up to you Moonbay,' thought Irvine.
"Oh Fiona," said Moonbay in as nice a tone as possible. "Yeah?" asked Fiona. "I was wondering if you would like to come into the city with me for a girls night out," said Moonbay. "I don't know," said Fiona. "Come on. Don't be a party pooper," said Moonbay with a grin. "I should really be looking after Kristi," said Fiona. "Don't worry about that. I talked to Thomas and he said he would be glad to look after her," said Moonbay. "So lets go," said Moonbay pulling Fiona. "Fine," said Fiona walking on her own this time. "What are we going to do?" asked Fiona. "You will find out once we get into town," said Moonbay.
"Irvine you had best have a good reason for stopping me from my work to help you with something, and what is this something?" asked Van. "You will find out once we reach the town, but it is really important that it must be done," said Irvine. Van still felt a little suspicious about his plans. 'Why am I going along with this?" Van asked himself. 'There is something weird about what Irvine is up to. Why won't he tell me what he wants help with?' thought Van. 'This had best work because I can tell that Van is getting really annoyed,' thought Irvine looking at Van. 'Please let this work,' Irvine thought.
