Two years after the Great War, a 17-year-old Van Fanel had just woke up from a horrible nightmare. Sweat rolled off his face and hit the floor, only to think of his beloved Hitomi. Thinking of her made his mind rest at peace. Oh how he missed the beautiful Hitomi. He wished to have her by his side holding her tight.

"Van, Van are you okay?" a frightened Merle runs into Van's room, " I heard a noise and thought……. Oh what's wrong?"

"Nothing" Van turns his head around so as to hide his feelings from Merle.

"Oh really" Merle turns Van's head around only to find a tear falling from his face. " Well you're not very good at hiding it. Hmmmmmmm…… you miss Hitomi. "

" I love her so much but I can't just leave my kingdom in search for her. I don't know what to do. We grow farther apart the longer we are away from each other. And I'm afraid she… she…" Van says with a bit of fear in his voice.

" Will replace you." Merle finished Van's sentence. " Are you stupid?! If you knew the real Hitomi, you should know that she would never try to replace you. Why would she any way? She would have to be crazy. She should grateful to have you. And you know you can't be replaced any way."

Saying this made Van smile a bit. Taking a bit of concern off his face. With that said, Merle grabbed a handkerchief off the beautiful drawers located in the King of Fanelia's large bedroom. She then gently wipes the tears and cold sweat off the matured face of Van. It had only been two years since the Great War but Van had greatly matured. His body was well build and he stood high above the ground. It was the same story with Merle. Her hair was now long and shiny, and now she looked more like a slender woman, rather than a little child.

" So what woke you up so late at night?" Merle asks.

" A silly nightmare. That's all." Van replies hoping Merle won't ask what it was all about.

" What was it all about. Come on you can tell me." Merle convinces Van to tell his story.

" I couldn't tell what was happening but I saw fire, I could feel the scorching heat surround me, then I heard screams of pain and sorrow. And I saw us all there you, me, Alan, and… and… Hitomi." After saying this he got up pulled a cloak out of his large closet and threw it around his broad shoulders.

" I can't sleep so I'm going for a walk. I recommend you rest but if you would like feel free to join me."

Merle nods. She grabs a cloak and puts it on while following Van out of the castle.

"Hello! Hello! Hey wake up in there!" Yukari knocks on the head of a daydreaming Hitomi.

"Oh sorry Yukari. Where were we?" Hitomi finally snaps out of her daydream only to find Yukari and Amano staring into each other's eyes. " Please excuse me. I'm gonna take a walk around the mall. I'll see if there's anything for me to buy."

" Come on Hitomi. That's the poorest excuse ever. Stay with us." Yukari says trying to convince Hitomi to stay.

" Sorry Yukari, but I really need to clear my head." says Hitomi after getting up gathering her stuff and starting to walk off.

" Okay Hitomi." Yukari answers while looking at her best friend suspiciously.

" I wonder what's wrong with her?" asks Amano. " She has been different since she was taken away from us 2 years ago. I wonder what happened to her. Let's go ask her."

" I don't think we should. Whatever happened to her is for her to know not us. She'll tell us when she's ready." responds Yukari.

" I hope that's soon because I'm starting to worry."

" I know me too."

HALF AN HOUR LATER.

" Oh Van. How I miss you." Hitomi mumbles under her breath while staring into a store window "I wish I was there back on Gaia with you. Oh I wish… I wish."

"Hey Hitomi! Finished clearing your head?" asked Yukari.

"Oh hi. Sorry I had to leave but I wasn't really feeling that good. I needed that walk." Answers Hitomi.

" It's okay. Come on I'll walk you home. Amano is waiting for us outside." Yukari shows Hitomi outside.

"Umm…. Van if you love Hitomi so much, why can't you go to the Mystic Moon and get her? You did that before." Merle asks

"I can't. I let her go because it was the best thing to do. Her life is on the Mystic Moon. And what if I went there, to get her, and she doesn't want to come back. I don't want to take that chance. I'll leave it up to destiny to put us back together. I know she feels the same way. I just wish… I wish we could be together right here right now. " Answers Van.

With that said, the pendant around the neck of Van started to glow. It was so bright that Merle and Van had to shield their eyes. Then a pillar of light pierces through the sky and wraps around Van. It lifts him up leaving him weightless. Van stared into Merles eyes smiling at her like they both knew what was happening.

"It's destiny." Van whispers to Merle.

Merle waves goodbye and yells, " Be back before dinner!"

Suddenly a pillar of light slices through the sky and hits the ground right beside the foot of Hitomi.

"What the?" Said Amano.

Amano, Yukari, and Hitomi look up into the sky only to find a boy… no a man floating down to the ground. At first it was too hard to recognize this man. But the closer he came down the more Hitomi recognized him. A picture was starting to form in her head. Could it be was it her long lost love?

"Hitomi!" the man yelled out.

"Van is that you!" Hitomi runs toward Van. They embrace. "Oh I missed you so much!! I want to go back to Gaia with you."

With that said the pillar of light started to lift them off the ground.

"No not again. Hitomi you can't leave us!" Yukari yells looking worried.

Hitomi just smiles. She throws down a piece of paper. Amano and Yukari both catch the piece of paper and open it up. Inside was a simple message. It said, "I'M GOING BACK."

"We'll miss you Hitomi!"
