It only took about a minute until Fiona came walking through the door into
the room where Anne was sitting and waiting for her. "Ah Fiona, The ancient
zoidian. It is a pleasure to meet you," said Anne with a small smile upon
her aged face. "The pleasure is all mine," said Fiona. "So polite," said
Anne, "Now what is it that you would like for me to see? I could do what I
did for your boyfriend, but I think that I will let you choose," said Anne.
'What do I want to know?' Fiona asked herself. Suddenly an idea came to her
mind that seemed to upset her. "I have been having this reoccurring dream
and I was wondering if you could tell me anything about it," said Fiona in
the nicest tone possible. "You think that it may be some kind of vision,
don't you?" asked Anne. Fiona only nodded her head in response to the
question. "I will see what I can do," said Anne as she gazed into the
crystal ball. "There are some things that I may not be able to see, but I
will try and help you to the best of my abilities," said Anne. After a
minute of looking she looked up. "Now this doesn't have to do with your
question entirely, but I see a kid in this, a small girl. Is she your
daughter?" asked Anne. "Yes she is," said Fiona. "You know about the danger
she is in?" asked Anne. "Yes. I have been thinking about it for the past 5
years," said Fiona sadly. "I see," said Anne. "Oh by the way your friends
Irvine and Moonbay are about to come in here," said Anne. Fiona looked
shocked and looked through a small opening in the door.
Van who was currently examining the strange stuff the old woman had almost didn't notice the door to the hut open and Irvine and Moonbay walk in. "What are you doing here Van" asked Moonbay making Van jump up in surprise. "The fortuneteller offered to read our fortunes for free, but I think she is a loony that has a few good guesses," said Van looking at his two friends. "You need to believe it a little more. I hear this woman is world famous," said Moonbay with a smile. "Right," said Van very skeptically. "Why don't you two make yourselves at home and I will be with you shortly," came Anne's voice. "Oh and Van. Please don't' touch that," said Anne making Van jump away from a vase that he was about to touch. He looked around and saw that there was no way for her to have been able to see that. 'Weird,' thought Van.
"Now back to the task at hand," said Anne looking at the crystal ball once again. Fiona waited intently for her to once again speak. After about a minute she jumped back slightly startled. "No wonder this dreams seems to be disturbing you so much. It would disturb me too seeing the man you love be hurt like that," said Anne. "How did you know? I never told anyone anything about the dream. Van knows about them but he never knew what happened in them," said Fiona slightly startled by what Anne had just said. "I see all with my crystal ball," rhymed Anne. "There is something else though. Although I could see most of it, there are two shadows in the background that I am not able to identify them even with my power," said Anne. "The shadows?" said Fiona trying to remember. She did after a minute. "I almost forgot about those. What could they be?" asked Fiona. "Like I said, I don't know. You should be wary though. I have a feeling that there might be some truth to this dream but this thing is puzzling even me at this moment. Prophecies are etched into time. Very rarely are they able to be changed. If this is one then I suggest that you cherish what you have for now or else you might take the chance of losing it all. Take things now, and maybe it could be made into one of those rare times," said Anne shocking even herself at all that she had just said. Fiona didn't say anything and just stood up and quietly walked out of the room. 'I already knew that. I have been trying to do that for a while yet the dreams refuse to go away. I hope that it isn't one,' thought Fiona.
Van stood waiting for Fiona to come out very impatiently. When Fiona came through the door Van got the urge to ask her what Anne said. "What did she say?" asked Van. "Nothing that I didn't already know," said Fiona looking at the ground. "Cheer up. At least you won't have too many more things that will disturb you more than some of the things you already have," said Van. "What do you mean? Is something wrong with Fiona?" asked Moonbay in a concerned voice. 'They don't even know,' thought Van, 'Better not tell them,' thought Van. Fiona was about to speak to tell them when Van cut in. "There is nothing wrong. She just hasn't been sleeping well lately," said Van knowing that at least he wasn't lying to them. "I hope so," said Moonbay as Anne came back into the room. "Hey old lady. Do you think you can read our fortunes for free like those two?" asked Moonbay getting very excited. "First of all my name is Anne, not old lady. Second, I think I might be able to since you are there friends. I am curious about some of the things that I have seen from those two and maybe you two can help me figure it out," said Anne. "Alright," said Moonbay cheerfully. "Come this way," said Anne with Moonbay following. Van and Fiona went to the door prepared to leave. Irvine who had been silent the whole time finally decided to speak up, "you two are hiding something aren't you?" asked Irvine. "Of course not. Why would we?" asked Van looking at him. "I don't know. I just got a feeling," said Irvine looking at the floor. Van and Fiona just decided to leave it at that and walked out of the hut.
The rest of the evening seemed to go on very peacefully for the two of them. "Hey Van. Let's go on that," said Fiona pointing at a Ferris wheel. "If you want to," said Van as the two of them walked towards it. The line seemed rather short at the moment so they were able to get on rather quickly. Taking their seats in it the ride got moving. "Wow. You can see everything from up here," said Fiona admiring the scenery all around them. "Yeah. You can," said Van looking at Fiona. 'You can do this Van,' thought Van. The ride came to a stop at the top of the Ferris wheel. "Um Fiona," said Van kind of nervously. "Hey van look," said Fiona as she pointing towards the sky where fireworks started going off. "What was it you wanted to say Van?" asked Fiona taking her attention off the fireworks to looking at Van for a second. "Never mind. It isn't important," said Van sadly. 'Liar. It was very important,' his mind yelled at him. Van just ignored the voice and continued to watch the fireworks with Fiona in his loving embrace. Fiona put her head on his shoulder and just enjoyed all that was going on at that moment.
"Mommy, Daddy," yelled Kristi as she ran into Fiona arms. "Hey there. Did you have fun?" asked Fiona with a smile on her face. "Yeah. He was really nice and I had a lot of fun," said Kristi in an excited voice. "Thanks for looking after her for us Crougar," said Van nicely. "It was pleasure. She was fun to be around. I must get back though because there are things that I need to take care of," said Crougar as he walked off. "I vet you are tired now," said Fiona realizing how late that it was starting to get. "Not at all," said Kristi. It would have helped though if she didn't yawn at that moment. "Why don't we head back," said Fiona as Kristi rested her head on Fiona's shoulder and slowly fell asleep. The two of them walked down the street in a very comfortable silence. It was broken though when a voice spoke to them. "Well I am very surprised to find the two of you here."
Van who was currently examining the strange stuff the old woman had almost didn't notice the door to the hut open and Irvine and Moonbay walk in. "What are you doing here Van" asked Moonbay making Van jump up in surprise. "The fortuneteller offered to read our fortunes for free, but I think she is a loony that has a few good guesses," said Van looking at his two friends. "You need to believe it a little more.
