Van was down for a minute because the wind ended up being knocked out of
him. The person that he ran into seemed to be having the same problem. Van
picked himself off the ground and helped Fiona stand up. Van was about to
leave when the voice of the man spoke up. "You are not going anywhere
Flyheight," said the man. Van took a look at him and noticed that he was a
soldier, and he wasn't one from the guardian force, republic, or imperial
army. 'This is not good,' thought Van. "Hey everyone I found them," yelled
the soldier very loudly. "Now I will give you a chance we may let you live
if you hand over the zoidian girl," said the soldier. "Forget it," said Van
pushing Fiona behind him. "Then you are signing your death wish," said the
soldier pulling out a gun and pointing it at Van. He was about to fire the
gun when someone knocked him out from behind. Van looked at them and saw
Irvine and Moonbay. "Come on let's get out of here," said Irvine.
"There appears to be soldier everywhere. I am surprised that we didn't notice them before," said Moonbay as the four of them ran to the cars that they brought into town. Before they managed to get there though another soldier stepped in their way. "Freeze," he yelled but he didn't say anything else because Van kicked him out of the way very hard. "We're out of here," said Irvine as he stepped on the gas and sped the car out of the city really fast.
"Are you ever planning on un-cuffing us" asked Van slightly annoyed at the two of them. "No," said Irvine simply and continued to drive the car as if he didn't hear anything. "But the night is over," said Van. No it isn't. We've only left the city because of that slight problem but we aren't finished with you two," said Irvine with a smirk on his face. This sent Van's anger flaring and he attempted to strangle Irvine. "What do you mean by slight problem? I could have been killed and Fiona could have been taken by them," said Van as he strangled Irvine. The car made many swerves sending everyone flying around in the car forcing Van to let go of Irvine's neck. "Ok, ok. Sorry," said Irvine rubbing his neck. The rest of the ride was silent but Irvine knew that Van was still sending him death glares. He then decided to break the silence. "So how did things go between you two?" asked Irvine planning to tell Moonbay when they got back since she had to take the second car back. "None of you business, but if you must know we spent the whole time looking for you two," yelled Van. "You must have talked a little in that time being all alone, or maybe you did something else," said Irvine with a smirk. "I swear I am going to kill you if you don't shut up," said Van glaring at Irvine. Irvine the shut up and the silence was that way for the rest of the journey.
"Did they say how it went when they were alone?" asked Moonbay. "No, and when I told Van that we weren't letting them out of the handcuffs he tried to strangle me," said Irvine. "Good thing I wasn't there," said Moonbay with a laugh. "Lucky you," said Irvine. "So is the bet still on?" asked Moonbay changing the subject. "Would it be any other way? It will be the easiest way for me to get a free meal," said Irvine. "You don't actually think you have a chance to win do you?" asked Moonbay. "I have a better chance than you do of beating me in this bet," said a cocky Irvine. "We'll see," said Moonbay with a smirk.
"How are we suppose to do anything if we are handcuffed like this? Who do they think that they are to keep us like this after what happened?" Van kept asking. "Van can you please calm, down?" asked Fiona quietly. Van seemed to then notice how calm she was about this. "Why are you so calm?" asked Van. "I don't know," said Fiona looking at the ground. Van then also noticed the sadness in her eyes. "What's up?" asked Van. "It's nothing," said Fiona. There was something wrong though. 'He could have gotten killed if it hadn't been for Irvine and Moonbay,' thought Fiona. A tear slipped down her face just thinking about it which didn't go unnoticed by Van. No matter what Van could have said to her, he hated to see her cry when she did. It wasn't that he hated her it was just that he was mad. He seemed to let that aside for a moment and pulled Fiona into an embrace. Fiona didn't seem to mind at all and she just cried into his shirt. "It is ok Fiona," said Van trying to comfort her. "I hate this Van," said Fiona. "What?" asked Van looking at Fiona. "Even after the arguments that we had you still tried to protect me even at the risk of losing your life," said Fiona still crying into his shirt. "It is just the way I am," said Van. "I don't want you to die," said Fiona crying even harder.
Little did they know that Irvine and Moonbay seemed to be listening in on them. "It sounds so sweet," said Moonbay. Irvine seemed a bit upset about something. "Don't be such a grouch because you lost the bet," said Moonbay. "I am not grouchy," said Irvine. "Could have fooled me," said Moonbay with a small laugh so as to not Van and Fiona know they were listening in. "Although they aren't completely together I think we did a rather good job. At least they are talking to each other again," said Moonbay. "Do you think that we should let them out of the handcuffs?" asked Irvine. "I think that it is time to let them out," said Moonbay.
Van and Fiona were still in the small embrace when suddenly they heard a small tapping on the door to the room. They both looked over and waited for a second before they both saw something very small slide under the door. They both walked over to the door to see what it was and saw a very small key. Van picked up the key. He then opened the door and looked out but he didn't see anything. Van then looked at the key and had an idea. "Think that these can be for the handcuffs?" asked Van. "Maybe," said Fiona. Van then put the key in on the one around Fiona's wrist and turned it and the handcuff came undone. "I am guessing that that was Irvine and Moonbay," said Van. "It had to be they are the only one with the key," said Fiona. "That is a good point," said Van. "I will see you later Van," said Fiona as she left the room. "Yeah," said Van quietly.
Irvine and Moonbay looked at Thomas who didn't even seem to notice them. "What do we have here?" said Moonbay slyly. "N-nothing," stuttered Thomas finally noticing them. "Doesn't look like nothing," said Irvine. "I swear," said Thomas. "So those lipstick markings on your face are nothing?" asked Moonbay trying hard not to hold back a laugh. "W-what?" asked Thomas. "Here take a look," said Moonbay laughing and somehow bringing out a mirror. Thomas looked through it and saw that his face was full of spots of lipstick. "I thought we were trying to get Van and Fiona together. Not you and someone else," said Irvine. "You aren't one to talk like that Irvine," came Van's voice from behind them. "Just for you to know Thomas. When we went into a restaurant the two of them actually started to make out on one of the tables," said Van. Now it was Thomas's turn to laugh at Irvine and Moonbay while they were blushing like mad. "I guess you two shouldn't be talking like that," said Thomas with a smirk on his face. "Now if you will all excuse me. I need to get to sleep but just know this. My torture isn't even close to done yet," said Van with a giant smirk on his face as he walked off. When he said that Irvine and Moonbay both seemed to hold a bit of fear in them. 'What could he possibly have planned,' they both thought.
Late night had come and Van woke up fats from the little sleep he had been having. He had had a dream. It wasn't a nightmare but it was more of reality. Van got up and planned on just taking a walk to try and clear his head before trying to get back to sleep again. During his walk he somehow found himself by Fiona's door. He heard something from inside and it sounded like Fiona seemed to be dreaming. Somehow Van's curiosity got the better of him and he listened in. "No, not again," he heard Fiona mumble in her sleep. "Van, no," Fiona said rather loudly in her sleep. "I wonder if it is that dream she said she had," said Van quietly. 'Is this dream really effecting her this as hard as she said,' thought Van. 'I have to do something,' thought Van. He then had an idea. He decided to do it and ran for the hanger.
When he reached the hanger he looked around to see if anyone was there. He didn't see anything and headed for the car that they had used earlier. "Going somewhere?" asked a voice which startled Van a little. Van looked around and saw Irvine working on his lightning saix. "I. have some business I need to attend to," said Van. "What kind of business?" asked a suspicious Irvine. "Important business," said Van not wanting to say what he was up to. He then turned on the car. "What kind of important business do you need to do at this time of the night?" asked a rather annoyed Irvine since Van was not answering his question seriously. "Very important business that needs to be done now. So see you," said Van as he drove out of the hanger fast leaving an annoyed Irvine behind. "That was weird," said Irvine. 'What is he up to?' Irvine asked himself. "Oh well. None of my business," said Irvine heading back to the lightning saix.
"There appears to be soldier everywhere. I am surprised that we didn't notice them before," said Moonbay as the four of them ran to the cars that they brought into town. Before they managed to get there though another soldier stepped in their way. "Freeze," he yelled but he didn't say anything else because Van kicked him out of the way very hard.
