Little by little Fiona's eyes slowly opened up. 'Was it all just a dream?'
Fiona asked herself when she laid eyes on Van. There he was just sitting
right next to what was left from the fire from last night. Van noticed that
Fiona had woken up and he smiled. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?" asked
Van with the smile still on his face. Fiona just nodded her head. "That is
good to hear," said Van. Van took a look at Fiona's face and noticed a
slightly confused look that she had on. "What's wrong?" asked Van. "N-
nothing," stuttered Fiona. "Really?" asked Van as he stood up. "Yeah. I was
just wondering something that is all," said Fiona. Suddenly Van started to
let off a slight chuckle. "What?" asked Fiona looking at Van hard. "Let me
guess. You were wondering if it was a dream or not," said Van as he
chuckled even more at the surprised look on Fiona's face. He walked over
and sat down right next to her. "Does this answer your question?" asked Van
as he brought her in for a kiss. She was surprised at first but quickly got
into it. After a little while they broke apart and Fiona was left
speechless. "Come on. Lets try to find a way out of here before they learn
that we are still alive," said Van as he held a hand out for Fiona. After
staring at it for a second a smile crossed her face and she took his hand.
"Is there any word yet?" asked an annoyed Zack as Ryan entered the room. "The hole is much deeper than anyone thought. It is definitely going to take a while. Even if we are using a lot of our soldiers to help dig through the rocks," said Ryan. "Make them work faster. We need to get the girl back. All of our plans are depending on those zoidians. If we lose one then all that we have done for it would have been for nothing," said Zack. "I realize this. I have been trying to make them go faster but they just aren't able to do much more," said Ryan. "They are all useless I tell you," said Zack as he massaged his head when a headache started to form. "Yes I have heard you say that a lot," said Ryan with a laugh. "Just get it done as soon as possible," said Zack as he waved Ryan away.
Going through the cave wasn't really easy for Van and Fiona. It was still a bit dark all that they had was a small flashlight but it still made it hard for them to move around. "How far do you think this cave goes?" asked Fiona. "I don't know. It does look like it will go on for a while," said Van since he couldn't see any glimmer of light in the distance to indicate an opening in the cave. "We have been walking for hours. I just wish that something would happen," said Fiona. Suddenly she let off a yelp. 'What's wrong?" asked Van as he shone the flashlight on her. "It's nothing. I just accidentally hit a rock," said Fiona as she massaged her foot. "You ok?" asked Van. "Yeah. My foot is just sore," said Fiona. "Can you walk?" asked Van holding out a hand. "Yeah," said Fiona as she took his hand and he helped her off of the ground. "Lets move a little faster. I want to get out of here soon," said Van.
Hours and hours of walking later they still found themselves stuck in the cave. "Wow. This is a huge cave. I am starting to wonder if it even has an ending to it," said Van in an amazed tone. "I am getting tired," said Fiona with a yawn. "It is probably getting a bit late," said Van. "Do you think that we should stop for a while?" asked Van. He received no reply. "Fiona?" asked Van as he turned around to look at her. "Do you see that Van?" asked Fiona as she squinted her eyes in the direction that they were going. Van turned to look and sure enough he did see a very faint light up ahead. "An opening," said Van in an excited tone. "Come on," said Fiona as the two of them ran forward towards the light. The light came closer and closer until they were right at it. "Wow," said an awed Van as he admired what he saw. "Yeah," said Fiona in the same state. What they saw was a very beautiful forest right outside the exit to the cave. "This place is beautiful," said Fiona as she waked out into it. "Wait up," said Van as he ran after her. Fiona looked up into the sky and saw that the sun was just setting. "Where are we?" asked Fiona. "I don't know. I never heard of a place like this," said Van looking around at all the lush plant life. "Let explore this place for a while," said an excited Fiona. Van could only smile.
Night had completely fallen but Van and Fiona continued to explore. What they saw next was more beautiful then they thought possible. "Wow," said Fiona as she laid her eyes on a beautiful lake. It seemed to give off a light glow under the light of the moon. "Fiona what is it?" asked Van as he walked up to her. Just like Fiona he couldn't help but admire the beautiful lake. Suddenly a smirk crossed his face. "Hey why don't we go for a swim?" asked Van. "But we don't have any swimsuits," said Fiona. "So," said Van as he got undressed and jumped into the lake. "What are you waiting for Fiona?" asked Van as he came to the surface. "No, no, no, no," said Fiona shaking her head. "Why not? It isn't like it is nothing I haven't seen before," said Van with a smirk on his face. Fiona just turned red. "Come on. If it will make you feel a little better. I will turn around," said Van as he turned around in the water. "Fine," said Fiona quietly as she slowly got undressed. Van waited until he heard a splash of water, which meant that Fiona got in. He turned around to see Fiona so deep under water that only her head showed. "Why are you so embarrassed?" asked Van with a grin. "I don't know," said Fiona quietly as she turned in the opposite direction. Van took this opportunity and dove quietly under the water.
'I can't believe I am doing this,' thought Fiona, 'I mean. We basically just got together again,' she thought. 'I wonder if Van is feeling like this," she thought to herself. "Um, Van," said Fiona without turning around. She received no reply. "Van?" asked Fiona this time turning around. There was no one there. "Where is he?" Fiona asked herself. Suddenly Fiona felt something grab her leg and pull her under the water. Fiona swam quickly to the surface and took a big breath, She noticed that Van was above the water again and laughing like mad right next to her. "That wasn't funny," said an angry Fiona. "Sure it was," said Van, "Try to lighten up a little," he said with a smile. "Lighten up a little?" asked Fiona. Suddenly a smile crept onto her face. "Ok," said Fiona as she grabbed Van and threw him underwater. It was now that she started to laugh. However Van never came up. "Van?" asked Fiona in a worried Voice. He still didn't come up. "Van, Van," yelled Fiona as she searched for any sign of him. Suddenly something grabbed her and she felt herself being dragged underwater.
Fiona felt herself being held underwater by a pair of strong arms. She slightly opened her eyes and through her blurred vision she saw Van holding on to her with a slight smirk on his face. She struggled but he kept her held down there with him. Se tried to say, "Let me go." However it only came out as bubbles. She was quickly running out of air. Van noticed this and brought her to the surface quickly.
Fiona gasped for some much needed air when she reached the surface. Van however didn't seem to be in as bad of a condition considering that he had been under the water much longer. Right now he was laughing. "Don't do that again. I could have drowned," Fiona pretty much yelled. "Do you actually think that I would let you drown like that?" Van laughed. She didn't reply to this. Van swam up to her slowly and wrapped a pair of arms around her waist. Yet he still didn't stop laughing. "Stop it," said Fiona hitting Van playfully. "Ok," said Van as he tried to gain control of his laughter. Fiona noticed that Van still had his arms around her waist. She didn't say anything though. She was enjoying the warmth of his body against hers. All she did was try to move a little closer. Van noticed this. Very slowly he moved his head down and started to lay light kisses on her neck. Fiona gave a slight moan to show that she was enjoying what he was doing. Van gave off a smirk as he continued to kiss her neck. Fiona couldn't seem to take much more because before Van could react she turned around in his arms and she kissed him on the lips. They just stayed that way kissing very passionately before they separated for some much needed air. "Van," was all Fiona could say before she went up and started to kiss Van again. She pulled away from him. "Please don't stop," said Fiona. Van seemed to know what she was talking about. He then went back to kissing her. Fiona could now feel his hands start to wonder up and down her body. Suddenly Van picked Fiona up. Fiona was a bit surprised by this. "What are you doing Van?" asked Fiona as Van started to carry her towards the shore. "You'll see," Van whispered into her eyes.
Van with Fiona still wrapped around him came out of the water and he walked a little ways onto the land. He suddenly stopped. Carefully he lowered himself and Fiona and placed her gently in the grass. He had every intention on having her to himself once again. That was exactly what he got.
Fiona had her head on Van's chest and savored the warmth that he gave off after what they had just gone through once again. With her head on his chest she could hear his heartbeat. It gave a soothing feeling for Fiona as she completely forgot about all of the dreams that she had been having. Sleep started to catch up to her. She slowly closed her eyes and fell off into a peaceful sleep. Van seeing this smiled. He noticed the bag that they had brought and reached out for it without trying to wake up Fiona. He managed to grab it and he opened it up. After searching around in it for a minute he grabbed out of it a blanket they had taken. He unfolded it and wrapped it around the two of them before laying back and closing his eyes. Before he fell asleep though he whispered something to Fiona even though she was asleep. "Good night Fiona. My love."
"Is there any word yet?" asked an annoyed Zack as Ryan entered the room. "The hole is much deeper than anyone thought. It is definitely going to take a while.
