It was a quiet trip. Fiona had fallen asleep not 30 minutes into the ride. So silence filled the cockpit
"Almost there," Van said softly to himself, careful not to be loud enough to wake the sleeping girl behind him.
It was only a matter of time before the small colony came into view.
"Home sweet home," Van sighed as he found a spot outside of town to leave the Blade Liger, just right out of view, so he could surprise Maria.
"Fiona, its time to get up," Van turned around and began to shake her very gently.
"Five more minutes Van," she mumbled as she turned over onto her other side.
Van laughed as he shook her again. "You can sleep later, but we're here now, and I want to go see my sister."
"Fine," Fiona grumbled as she sat up, unbuckling herself from the seat.
Van too unbuckled himself as he jumped down from the cockpit onto the soft ground. Grabbing a few bags as Fiona slowly made her way down to the ground.
"Zeke, why don't you stay here for now, so you don't scare Maria into having a heart attack." Van suggested remembering the last time that he had come to visit.
Zeke gave a small roar of approval.
"Its ok, we'll be back don't worry." Fiona softly patted Zeke on the head. Zeke roared once again.
"We should go, it's going to be dark soon, and I want to be settled in by then. See you later buddy" Van quickly grabbed Fiona's hand, leading her down the small path.
"Bye Zeke!" Fiona yelled back before they disappeared out of sight.
Van gave a sigh as they made their way into the small colony and to Van's small home.
Van pushed open the door, calling into the house. "MARIA!!!!!!! Are you here?"
"Van, is that you?" A voice from the kitchen, as well as a small crash told the two Maria was in there.
Van and Fiona made their way over to the kitchen, where Maria seemed to be trying to clean up something.
"Let us help sis," Van and Fiona quickly walked over to help the clean up the broken dish pieces that Maria had dropped.
"Van, this is quite the pleasant surprise, why didn't you tell me that you and Fiona were coming to visit?" Maria questioned as she threw the pieces into the trash.
"We wanted it to be a surprise." Fiona said as Maria quickly went back to drying the last of the dishes.
"Well you did and that's wh . . ." she stopped mid sentence as she turned to look at Fiona. At the sight, she once again dropped another dish onto the ground. She walked over quickly. "Fiona, what . . . what happened to you?"
"Why don't we clean this up, and then I'll make some coffee, and we can talk about." Van said as he quickly went to work picking up the other dish.
Soon enough everything was clean and everyone was sitting in the living room sipping coffee.
"So Fiona, what happened to you? And why wasn't Van there to save you?" Maria questioned.
"It wasn't Van's fault. Not at all. Well it all started out like this . . . " And so Fiona had begun the story, and spared no loss of detail.
"Oh Fiona! You poor thing!!" Maria wailed as she came to embrace Fiona in a hug.
"Its ok Maria, everything's alright now." Fiona reassured.
"Of course it is," said Maria wiping away her tears. "Come on Fiona, lets go run you a bath, then we'll change those bandages. And while we do all that, Van will set you up in a room."
"Yah sure, enjoy your bath Fiona!" Van called after the two as they disappeared into the bathroom. Maria quickly appeared a few minutes later.
"Oh Van! I'm so glad you came to visit!" Maria ran over, embracing Van in a hug.
"Sis, I can't breathe!" Maria quickly let go.
"Sorry, it's just, ever since you've gone away adventuring, it's been quite lonely, and I'm happy to have you both here."
"Yah, I knew you'd be happy," Van replied. "Now come on and lets set up a room for Fiona."
"Oh no, I've just remember that I've filled up the old guestroom with some stuff! Not good!" Maria stood still.
"Not a problem, I can just sleep on the couch or something, don't worry sis!" Van reassured as he grabbed up the bags and headed to his room.
*****
Fiona sat in the large bathtub thinking to herself. Some of the bubbles that surrounded her began to pop breaking the silence in the room.
She let the water out of the tub, standing up and wrapping a towel around herself.
Fiona looked in the mirror and got a good look at all the cuts on her body. Cuts everywhere on her person. All down her arms, on her legs, on her chest, everywhere. It hurt to move too much. He would pay for everything!
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Hey Fiona, I put your stuff in my room, that's where you will be alright?"
It was Van. How sweet of him.
"Yes, thank you Van!"
His footsteps grew softer as he walked away and into the kitchen.
Fiona softly opened the door and made her way to Van's room. After finding some suitable bedtime clothes, she headed back out to the living room where Maria and Van were talking.
"So you and Fiona are a thing now?"
"Yes Maria, we are a 'thing'"
"That's wonderful!"
Fiona smiled as she made her way into the room.
"Hey Fi," Van acknowledged her presence.
"Hi Van," Fiona kept smiling, melting Van's heart. "I came in to say that I'm going to bed now, I'm tired."
"Shouldn't you put bandages on those," Maria gestured to the cutes on her body.
"Nope, I thought that I would let them breathe for tonight."
"All right, Goodnight Fiona," Van called.
"Night Van, Maria."
Fiona quickly disappeared into the room, closing the door softly before turning off the light. She was asleep in a matter of minutes.
That was the way Van found her when he came to tell her goodnight again before he hit the sack.
"Sweet dreams Fiona," Van gave her a small kiss on her forehead before closing the door and making himself comfortable on the couch.
*****
Two figures stood outside the small window that was in the room where Fiona lay sleeping.
"I think we should kill her now." One of the two whispered to the other holding up his gun.
"No, we were told to just find if she was here and report back to Darkness, not to kill her."
"Yah I know," said the other disappointed, lowering his gun.
"Come on, lets go back, we've completed our mission."
Stealing one last glance at the sleeping beauty, the two soldiers left, as silent as they had come, back to tell Darkness just where Fiona was.
*****
"Perfect," Darkness sneered as he was told the news. "Now its time to set the plan into action. Ready the troops, we're going to pay the small wind colony a little visit."

How was that? Did you like?? This one was ok, defiantly not a favorite of mine. And zs-adun, yes, I do say stuff like that about myself in real life, so its nothing new. But don't worry, I usually don't mean everything I say, and I only say it when I'm in a really bad mood. And cyberdemon, you ain't got to give me a choice, but I appreciate it, and it should be me giving you the choice. But I will keep that in mind. And I promise for more Van and Fiona, I know, I haven't had much lately, but I promise that there will be more soon!!!!! Thanks so much for reading everyone!! Please Leave your thoughts and tell me whether you like it or you thought it sucked!!!!!!! Thanks! I hope to update soon! But I may need another kick in the butt!
Byes,
Michiko
