Van was trying to figure out how he was going to make this extremely stupid plan work. He only knew what he wanted to do but not how to do it right yet. He had to do it now though before it became too late to be able to do it. 'Think Van, think,' Van repeated in his head. 'How the heck am I going to do this,' Van thought with worry all over his face. 'Why the hack am I doing this?' thought Van as an afterthought. 'To help Fiona,' came a voice in his head. "Right I am doing this to help her," said Van. 'Why are you doing this for her? You don't love her anymore,' came another voice. A scene from the dream he had earlier that night flashed through his head. "I don't know how I feel," said Van. 'You hate her for leaving you. Why are you doing this?' asked the voice. "I don't hate her. I never will," said Van. 'Of course you do,' said the voice. 'No now shut up and leave us alone,' came the first voice. 'You're no fun,' said the second voice as it disappeared. 'Do what you need to. That will tell you all you need to know,' said the first voice as it too disappeared. "Right. I will know by doing this. Maybe," said Van. He then saw a town coming up. It was nearly morning, so Van then decided to stop until night came before he decided to do this.

"Where's Van?" asked Kristi. "Why?" asked Thomas. "I wanted to play with him," said Kristi. "I don't know I haven't seen him at all today," said Thomas. "Ok," said Kristi sadly as she walked away. "What was that about?" asked Fiona walking up to Thomas. "She wanted to play with Van but he isn't here. Do you know where he is?" asked Thomas. "No I don't," said Fiona. "That's odd," said Thomas. "Why?" asked Fiona. "Nobody seems to know where he is," said Thomas. "I kind of know," said Irvine who happened to be listening in on the conversation. "Where?" asked Thomas. "He left early this morning. Said he had some important business he had to attend to," said Thomas. "What kind off business?" asked Fiona. "No idea. He wouldn't tell me just dodged the question when I asked," said Irvine. "I wonder why he wouldn't say what it is," said Thomas. "If you ask me. I would say he was up to something," said Irvine. "That is my guess too," said Thomas nodding his head. "I wonder what," said Fiona.

Van was bored out of his mind. Waiting all day for night to come was not very exciting to him. Luckily for him it was nearing evening so he wouldn't have to wait much longer. "I think I finally got a plan," Van said out loud. "Out of everything stupid I ever did in my life this has to be one of been the stupidest thing ever," said Van laughing slightly. Van calmed down for a second and then thought about the plan he had worked up. He then noticed that the sun was just barely showing so he thought that now was the time to do this. 'It's time,' thought Van as he got up from the area he was sitting and headed for the car. "Please let this work," Van pleaded even though he knew no one was here to even listen. "I have to do this no matter what. If I don't or I fail then nothing will ever change," said Van. "Now for the easiest part of the plan, but the problem with the plan is that there are no easy part," said Van cringing at the thought of it. 'Put that aside and just do this,' Van thought. 'The sooner it gets done the better,' he thought again. "I have to do this now," said Van as he started the car and drove into the town.

Van looked around at all the soldiers that were all over the place. 'I see that they haven't left this place,' thought Van actually a bit happy about this. "Let the plan begin," said Van in a very quiet voice. A smirk then crossed his face. "Hey you," yelled a voice from behind him. Van was shocked that he didn't hear the person approach him. 'Great,' thought Van. "What are you doing here?" asked the soldier. "I was. I was just," said Van as he turned around trying to punch the soldier but this guy was huge and Van's punch didn't even faze him. Van looked up with some slight fear in his eyes. "Hey you're Van Flyheight," said the man getting angry. Van was looking up at the man's face since he was only up to the man's chest. Van gave a nervous laugh. The man then pointed a gun at him. Van reacted very quickly though and jumped up and punched the guy in the face. The man didn't expect this and fell backwards and landed with a thud. The soldier hit his head and Van was glad to see that he was knocked out. "That was way too close," said Van. Van walked up to the man and took the gun incase he needed it. "This will at least give me a little protection," said Van glad that he could at least protect himself. He was starting to get a little on edge at the moment. "What is going on down here," said a soldier running into the alley Van and the unconscious soldier were in. Being as nervous as he was Van overreacted and instead of using the gun to fire at the soldier he threw it at him instead. "Bulls eye," said Van seeing that he hit the soldier with it.. Van walked up to this one and picked up the gun that he just threw. "He might do," said Van with a smirk crossing his face.

Fiona was now starting to become a little worried. Van hadn't come back yet and for some reason she kept getting this horrible feeling like something bad was happening. 'Don't be silly. I am sure that Van is safe and sound, but where could he be?' thought Fiona. What is this bad feeling that I am having though?" Fiona asked herself. "I am just being paranoid," said Fiona trying to laugh but she couldn't because the same bad feeling kept coming to her. 'Could something be happening to Van?' Fiona asked herself.

"It looks like something is troubling her," said Thomas as him, Moonbay, and Irvine stood there looking at her as she talked to herself and was pacing the floor. "No kidding," said Moonbay sarcastically. Thomas just glared at her. "Something is bugging her," said Moonbay informing Thomas. "No kidding," mocked Thomas. It was Moonbays turn to glare at him. "Will you two quit arguing," ordered Irvine with a bit of anger in his voice. "Moonbay why don't you go up and talk to her," said Thomas. "Why me?' asked Moonbay. "Because she is more likely to tell you what is going on, than she is to tell us what is going on," said Irvine. "So go on," said Irvine and Thomas as they shoved her towards Fiona. Moonbay glared at both of them before walking over to Fiona. "Something wrong?" asked Moonbay seeing the sad look on Fiona's face which she didn't notice before. "I am worried about Van," said Fiona. "I am sure he is fine," said Moonbay trying to comfort her. "I keep getting this bad feeling like something bad is happening to him but I don't know quite what," said Fiona. "You still love him? don't you?" asked Moonbay. Fiona nodded her head. "You just need to calm down and trust in him," said Moonbay. "I know I do but this feeling just won't go away," said Fiona. "Then just ignore it and wait for him to come back. He probably just had some business far away and that is why he is still gone," said Moonbay. "That could be possible," said Fiona cheering up a little. "Just wait a day or two and I am sure that he will be back," said Moonbay happy to see that Fiona was cheering up a little. "Thank Moonbay," said Fiona giving a smile to her friend. "No problem. If anything else is bugging you just talk to me," said Moonbay proudly. "Thank I will," said Fiona. "Or I might be better to talk to Van about it," said Moonbay teasing Fiona. Fiona then gave a nervous laugh.

This was all strange for Van. He was wearing the uniform of the man that he had knocked out and tied the two of them up so they couldn't tell anyone when they woke up. He had been sure to tape their mouths up so that they couldn't yell for help when they woke up. He wore a red uniform that had a cap on top of it. He carried the gun at his side and walked out into the street. He was now able to walk around all the soldiers and none of them looked at him. he was really glad for this. "hey you," said a high-ranking soldier. "Y-yes sir?" asked Van a bit nervous. "Hurry up and get to your squadron. We will be leaving to go back to the base soon," said the soldier. "Right. Um I kind of forgot where my squadron was supposed to go," said Van with a nervous laugh. "There is a restaurant down the street. You need to go there," said the soldier slightly annoyed. "Yes sir," said Van running in that direction. He reached there within a minute and took a place in the back of the line that was forming there. "Alright move out," said the head soldier. They all started to march as Van thought, 'Step one is complete.'
