" The new kid" Hey everybody! You know, I decided to change my fic to a different concept because the other one didn't work all to well. It's still a " what if" type. Here's are the questions: What if instead of Van being born on Gaea, he would be born on Earth? I also changed a little bit of information. In the anime, Hitomi likes Amano and he likes her too but he doesn't tell her. Well in my fic, Amano likes Yukari but she doesn't like him. This story has a huge love triangle. Just read to see what develops. Okay, I hope you enjoy my story. This is part 1. Please comment on it also. Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne. " Hitomi! Wake up! You're going to be late for school!" Hitomi opened her eyes and glanced at her clock. Sluggishly (does that word exsist?) she got out of bed and headed for the shower. It was a beautiful Monday morning but Hitomi wasn't looking forward to it. She headed for the shower and got ready for school. Downstairs she heard her mom making her breakfast. She sniffed the air, enjoying the sweet smell of french toast. Hungrily, she headed downstairs. She saw her mom putting her plate of food on the table." Don't forget Hitomi. You have to pick up some groceries from the store. You have the list don't you?" Hitomi nodded as she took a bite out of the french toast." Yes mom. Don't worry, I'll get the groceries. I have to go to school. Bye." Hitomi grabbed her backpack and headed out. Like always, Yukari was waiting for her." Hey Hitomi." " Hey Yukari," Hitomi greeted. She noticed that Yukari was happier then usual today." Why do you look so happy?" " You'll never guess. A couple of houses down from mine, this new family moved in." " Why would that make you so happy?" Hitomi asked. Something was up and Hitomi knew it. " Because, you should have seen their son. He is such a hotty. He is so cute. Luckily he looks our age so he'll probably go to our school." Hitomi just giggled. She would have to see this so called hotty for herself.' Yukari just overexsajerates (did I spell it right?). I bet he's regular looking.' They continued to walk to school, unaware of the change their lives would take starting today..... To be continued.... Well, what did you think? I know the first chapter is probably boring and I don't blame you. I think it is also. Well sorry for making so short or too rushed. I'll try to make part 2 better. So, who could this new kid be? ( as if the question was so hard) Will Hitomi think he's a hotty like Yukari phrased it? You'll have to wait and see. Please comment. Ciao!
