I Love You Rem Chapter 3: Old Friends Reunited

"Rem, Rem wake up where here," Duke said as he slowed down his car.

"Already?" Rem said sleepily as she rubbed her eyes.

"Yeah look," Duke replied.

"Wow it's big," Rem said as she looked out the window.

"So I guess I'll have to drop you off here I have to get going I have a tight schedule to keep you know," Duke said.

"Yeah I understand thank you so much Duke," Rem said as she took off her seat belt and got out of the car.

"Good luck Rem I hope you find your friend and we meet again," Duke said as he started the car.

"Hey Duke!" Rem yelled as the car began to turn around.

"Yes?" Duke asked and stopped the car.

"I'm glad your helping out the town like that bringing them food I mean, I think it is really great and I wish everyone was as nice as you," Rem said and blushed a little.

"Oh yeah well I was driving past there and saw all those kids and I just had to stop," Duke replied.

"Yeah well I just wish more people would help those people," Rem replied.

"I know if the people on this dusty planet would stop drinking and killing others and just help this life would be much more enjoyable."

"I agree no one has the right to take the life of another," Rem replied.

"I wish more people would say things like that," Duke said, "Well I better get going bye take care."

"You too," Rem said as the car began to drive away. "Well I guess I had better start searching for Vash," Rem thought and began to walk into the town. "This place is so big how can I possibly find him?"

"Ahhhhh run away it's Vash the Stampede he's attacking to town!" a man yelled as he and many others ran past Rem.

"What Vash is attacking people!?" Rem said aloud. "I must stop him I won't let him hurt anyone else." "Hey where is he? Where is Vash?" Rem yelled at a man who was running away.

"He's back there," he said pointing in the direction everyone was running from, "But don't go back there he's got to people hostage and he wants five million double dollars or they die," the man said and ran away.

"Oh Vash how could you?" Rem thought to herself as she ran to where the man said he was. "Huh?" she said stopping suddenly, "But…. But that's not Vash." "That doesn't look anything like him. How can this be the bartender said Vash the Stampede had blonde hair and an Angel Arm but this guy… no way this can't be right."

"I'm Vash the Stampede now give me all the money or these people die!" a tall man with red hair that went down to his shoulders said.

"My mommy!" a little boy yelled and ran to his mother who was one of the hostages.

"Hey you little brat!" the man claiming to be Vash yelled and grabbed the boy's arm before he could reach his mother.

"Mommy!" the boy yelled again.

"You know what I'm going to make an example out of this little brat I'm gonna show you just what happens when you don't do what I say," the man said and put the gun right at the back of the boy's head.

"No please you can't!" the boy's mother yelled.

"I can do whatever I want lady and you should of thought your brat here to behave and not interfere with other people's business."

"He's only a boy please don't kill him!" the other hostage yelled.

"He's gonna die it's his own fault I am Vash the Stampede no one can beat me!" the man said with a laugh.

"Hey don't you dare shoot him!" a man in a suit with a huge cross yelled from across the street.

"Who the heck are you?" the man with red hair yelled back.

"Who cares who I am it's not important what is important that you let him go!"

"I am Vash the Stampede I can do what ever I want and there is no way I'm listing to a guy like you!" the man yelled again.

"What if I said that I don't believe your Vash the Stampede?" another man said he walked up behind the guy with the big cross he had spiky blonde hair and wore a red coat.

"What how dare you I'll shoot you dead right now but first I have to blow this kids brains out."

"No you won't" the man with the big cross said he pulled the strips off so the cloth came off.

"What the heck is that thing?" the man asked.

"It's the newest style in weaponry," the man said and pointed the huge cross-gun at the red haired man.

"Easy Wolfwood don't shoot him yet," the man with blonde hair said.

"But Vash he's gonna kill that kid," Wolfwood replied.

"What did he say Vash?" Rem wondered as she stared at the two men, "He does look like Vash, could it really be him?"

"What did you call that blonde guy Vash? He isn't Vash I am!" the man with red hair yelled angrily.

"Oh shut up!" Wolfwood hollered to the man.

"Tell me Mr. Vash the Stampede," Vash said to the red haired man, "If you really are Vash the Stampede then let me see you blow up this town."

"What are you crazy!"

"You'll kill us all!" the towns people yelled at Vash.

"What do you want to die Blondie?" the red haired man yelled.

"Yeah sure so let's see it!" Vash hollered back.

"I'm tired of this, this kid is dying now!" the red haired man yelled and loaded his gun.

"Mommy help me!" the little boy cried.

"Please don't hurt him!" the mother yelled trying to get to her boy.

"Sit still or your next," one of the henchmen said as he held the woman down.

"No!" the mother screamed as tears began to run down her face.

"No don't shoot him!" Rem yelled as she confronted the red haired man, "Please don't shoot him."

"Rem?" Vash said quietly his eyes began big with disbelief.

"Don't shoot him no one has the right to kill another person," Rem said as she slowly walked toward the man and boy.

"Get out of here lady unless you want to die!" the red haired man yelled at Rem.

"You can't kill him," Rem said and continued to move forward.

"Beat it lady!" he yelled again and pulled the gun away from the boys head and pointed straight between Rem's eyes.

"If you don't get out of here I'm gonna shoot!" he yelled again. "Alright then now you die!"

"Rem!" Vash yelled and pulled out his silver pistol and shot.

"He got him!" one of the town's people yelled.

"He hit him in the shoulder it's not to serious," one of the doctors that was standing nearby said as some policeman ran to them.

"You did it Needle Noggin!" Wolfwood said with a smile as he put the cloth and strips back on his cross.

"Rem," Vash said approaching the black haired woman. "Rem is it really you?" Vash asked.

"Yep it's me," Rem replied with a smile.

"Mommy!" the little boy yelled and ran to his mother.

"Thank you both so much for saving my boy," the woman said to them as she hugged her boy tight.

"Your welcome," Rem replied. "What's wrong? Vash?" Rem asked but all he did was stare at her. "Vash?" she asked again.

"I… I thought you were dead," he said quietly, "I can't believe it's really you Rem," he said and hugged her tight.

"Hey what's going on here?" a short woman with short black hair in a white outfit asked.

"Millie Meryl what are you doing here?" Wolfwood asked as he walked toward them.

"What do you think?" Meryl replied.

"We are doing or job we heard Mr. Vash was in causing lots of trouble over here," Millie a tall girl with long blondish brown hair replied.

"Well Vash wasn't doing any of it, it was another imposter," Wolfwood told them.

"Really well that's good," Millie replied with a smile.

"Who is that?" Meryl asked pointing at Rem.

"I dunno Vash just ran up and started hugging her," Wolfwood said.

"I missed you to Vash," Rem said as he hugged her.

"I just can't believe it's you," Vash replied and let her go.

"And I can't believe how many people have told me that you are a killer. Why are you killing people Vash you know it's wrong," Rem said.

"You don't understand Rem I never did anything, bad things just happen to me and I'm the one who gets blamed for them," Vash replied.

"It's true," Wolfwood said, "He hasn't done anything wrong, all he's guilty of is saving a bunch of people."

"Yeah Mr. Vash is a really great guy," Millie added.

"Why did you blow up Augusta and July only you could of done that,"

Rem said a little angry that Vash had destroyed two cities but at the same time relieved that he wasn't a bad guy.

"It wasn't my fault it was Knives," Vash wined.

"Oh my God I forgot about Knives we have to find him!" Rem said.

"No!" Vash replied.

"But why?" Rem asked confused.

"Because he is evil he is the reason those cities where destroyed and all those people where killed."

"What?" Rem asked not believing her ears.

"Yeah it's his fault all this has been happening to Vash," Wolfwood said.

"No," Rem said quietly trying her best to hold back her tears. "Why? Why would he do this?"

"I dunno but he… it's his fault our space ship crashed he reset the coordinates," Vash told her.

"But why?" Rem asked as tears begun to slide down her cheeks.

"I'm not sure," Vash replied. "Listen you can't stay with me it's to dangerous."

"But I want to," Rem replied.

"You can't to many people want to kill me and I don't want you in the middle of it," Vash replied sadly.

"But I came here to see you I don't want to leave."

"It's ok Wolfwood has a church you can stay at, I'll come and get you when they aren't after me anymore don't worry it will be ok," Vash told her.

"No I don't care if I die I didn't come all this way to go live in a church I came to find you!" Rem said still crying.

"Don't worry Rem it's not that bad of a place and I'm sure things will be peaceful again son," Wolfwood said trying to comfort her.

"But…." Rem started.

"Please Rem I couldn't live with myself if I lost you again…. I love you Rem," Vash said.

"Don't worry Millie and Meryl can take you there you won't go by yourself," Wolfwood said.

"What? Hey what the heck do you think your doing we have a job to do you know and we can't do it if we're at Wolfwood's church," Meryl said angrily.

"Come on Meryl Rem's life is more important than some dumb job," Millie said.

"Hello there Vash," they heard a voice say.

"What is that?" Rem asked looking around.

"It's Legato!" Wolfwood said.

"I see Rem Saverem has returned well we'll have to make her disappear again won't we Vash," they heard Legato again.

"Millie Meryl take Rem to the church now!" Vash yelled as he and Wolfwood got ready for the upcoming battle.

"But Vash I want to stay with you!" Rem said as Millie threw her over her shoulder and began to run.

"Get out of here now!" Wolfwood yelled to the girls.

"Come on Meryl we have to go now!" Millie yelled as she continued to run.

"Right," Meryl replied and followed Millie.

"Rem Saverem I see you," Legato said with an evil laugh.

"No Vash I want to stay I want to stay!" Rem yelled at Millie.

"I'm sorry Rem but you can't," Millie replied as she ran.

"You can't get away Rem not this time," they heard Knives say.

"Knives!" Vash yelled, "Knives leave Rem alone if you want someone to fight, fight me!"

"Where are they?" Wolfwood yelled.

"I dunno, I dunno!" Vash yelled back.

"I'm gonna get you Rem just like the spider gets the fly," Knives said with an evil laugh.

"Vash no!" Rem screamed as Millie carried her away.

"Don't let them get her you two!" Wolfwood yelled at Millie and Meryl.

"Don't worry we won't!" Meryl yelled back and disappeared behind a building.

"Can't we stop please I can't run anymore," Meryl said as they ran out of the city.

"No we have to get to the church if they said to go there then it must be safe there," Millie replied as they ran, "There should be a place coming up soon where we can get some animals to ride to December the church is 300 iles away from December."

"Oh Vash," Rem said quietly as she saw the town get smaller and smaller.
