Disclaimer: As everyone knows, I do not own the characters from Hana Yori Dango/Boys Over Flowers. If I did, this wouldn't be fan fiction, now would it? wink

Thank you, Kamio-sensei!

AN: This is a gift for my dear friend and best reviewer-buddy, SarahNThachter. Obviously, this takes place after the end of the manga. Also, this started out as a one shot, but it got away from me and took on a life of its own, so now it's going to be a series of very short chapters. Vignettes, really. Hope you like it.

Luck and Miracles

A Hana Yori Dango FanFic

By Janice Rips

Prologue: Boredom

Four hours. Four hours, and yet, in some ways, they had passed more slowly than those four hellish years. The first two hours had been more painful and stressful than any time she could remember since he came into her life. The last two had been calmer, but with too much time to think and not enough to do. They had insisted she rest until he returned, but every time she closed her eyes, memories played on the screens of her mind, a mind that would not keep still when her body was forced to quiet. Now, four hours were almost up. She couldn't wait to share with him this, the tangible evidence of their love. She fell into reverie once more.
