Note: Mai-Hime is an anime that was by done by the studio Sunrise and is based on a manga of the same name.

Natsuki Kuga stopped an evil scheme that a mad scientist was working on. While fighting a creature that the mad scientist made a few pieces of Natsuki's hair fell off. The mad scientist secretly ran away with the pieces of hair before Natsuki got a chance to arrest him.

Natsuki went home and called her girlfriend, Shizuru Fujino. She said, "The scientist's creature held up quite a fight, but I managed to stop it."

Shizuru asked, "What about the scientist?"

Natsuki said, "He was such a big coward that he ran away while I was wrapping up the fight. I'm pretty worn out from the fight. Do we have anything planned for tomorrow?"

Shizuru replied, "We agreed to go to the beach together tomorrow afternoon."

Natsuki said, "I look forward to having a relaxing day at the beach. I'll see you tomorrow. I love you."

Shizuru responded, "I love you too darling."

Meanwhile the mad scientist went back to his laboratory. He wore a stereotypical mad scientist lab coat and goofy goggles. He was American and had black hair. He said, "That foolish Natsuki is unaware of how what a good scientist I am. A few pieces of her hair is the only thing that I need to be able to make a clone of her. The clone's strength will be of the same quality, hopefully stronger." The mad scientist started working on a cloning formula.

After hours of working on the cloning formula the mad scientist said, "I think that the clone's ready." He looked at what he had created using the pieces of Natsuki's hair, a bunch of dangerous chemicals, and a cloning drink that he had invented.

The clone looked very similar to Natsuki. The clone had a similar looking body, the same type of clothes that Natsuki was wearing earlier, and her face looked identical to Natsuki's face.

The mad scientist was super proud of what he had done. He said, "I've created the ultimate clone. I'll use it to get rid of Natsuki."

The clone grabbed the mad scientist and asked, "Who's Natsuki?"

The mad scientist said, "She's the woman that you're a clone of."

The clone thought about it and said, "Since I'm based on Natsuki I'll find her and prove that I'm her superior."

The mad scientist had an evil smile on his face while saying, "Excellent idea my dear clone. Make sure that you defeat her."

The next day Shizuru met up with Natsuki at Natsuki's house. They went into Shizuru's car and went to the beach.

After getting to the beach they got on their swimsuits. Natsuki's swimsuit was black and Shizuru's was aqua. Natsuki felt a sense of relaxation while saying, "It feels good to be here."

Shizuru asked, "Did your adventure with the mad scientist wear you out?"

Natsuki answered, "It sure did. That guy has so much madness going in his brain that he should become a hatter."

Shizuru replied, "Well, you get to have a full day of relaxation and fun today. Forget about the mad scientist and whatever experiments he's probably failing to make right now."

Natsuki smiled and said, "Thank you Shizuru. I can always count on you to make my life better."

Shizuru replied, "You've brought eternal happiness to my heart so I try to repay the favor."

Shizuru looked at the ocean and said, "I'm going to go swim around. Wanna join me?"

Natsuki said, "Maybe later. I feel like relaxing for now." Natsuki laid down on her beach blanket.

Shizuru replied, "Okay sweetheart. I'll be back soon." She kissed Natsuki and went into the ocean.

The clone showed up at the beach. She was wearing a pink swimsuit. She didn't know where Natsuki was so she went into the ocean to find her.

Shizuru saw the clone and thought it was the real Natsuki. Shizuru waved to the clone and said, "Hi honey."

The clone asked, "Who are you?"

Shizuru laughed and said, "Your jokes aren't as witty when you're exhausted."

The clone thought about it and said, "The mad scientist did mention that she has an overly emotional girlfriend. I'm assuming that you're the girl that I'm referring to."

Shizuru asked, "What are you talking about?" She noticed that the clone was wearing a pink swimsuit instead of the black swimsuit that Natsuki was wearing so she asked, "Did you change?"

The clone coldly said, "I don't have time for your mundane questions."

Shizuru held the clone's hand. The clone pushed Shizuru away and continued looking for Natsuki.

Five minutes later Natsuki went into the ocean and found Shizuru. She said, "Hi honey."

Shizuru replied, "I'm really confused."

Natsuki asked, "What's going on?"

Shizuru answered, "There's a woman that looks exactly like you. Same hair and everything."

Natsuki was a little worried that something was going on so she asked, "How closely did she resemble me?"

Shizuru said, "I thought she was you. She looks close enough to you that she seems like a clone of you."

Natsuki thought about it and said, "She might be a clone of me. Was there any visual difference between me and the clone?"

Shizuru replied, "She doesn't look as cute in a swimsuit as you do."

Natsuki angrily blushed and said, "That's not the kind of answer I wanted."

Shizuru giggled and replied, "I'm sorry. The only other difference was that her swimsuit was a different color."

Natsuki said, "She sounds like a clone of me. I better get her."

The clone looked around and saw Natsuki. The clone said, "Greetings Natsuki. I may be a clone of you, but I assure you that I'm one of your superiors."

Natsuki replied, "I doubt that."

The clone said, "Having any confidence will become irrelevant soon, because I'm going to defeat you."

Natsuki asked, "Why would you want to fight me?"

The clone said, "The mad scientist created me so my brain is programmed to prove that clones can live up to the people that they were cloned after."

Natsuki replied, "It seems like changing your mind won't work."

The clone said, "Stop any form of speaking. I want to defeat you quickly." The clone started fighting Natsuki. The clone managed to punch and kick Natsuki a few times, but Natsuki used her fighting skills to hold up a strong fight. The two of them seemed to have a similar amount of strength.

Shizuru watched the battle feeling lots of fear for the love of her life. She knew that Natsuki often did battles, but watching one was hard for her.

Several people at the beach started realizing that a big fight was going on. One dude, named Greg, asked, "What's going on?"

The dude's friend, named Max, answered, "Two twins are beating each other up."

Greg said, "I don't know why they're so mad at each other, but this is a good time for a bet."

Max asked, "What do you mean?"

Greg said, "I think that the woman in the black swimsuit will win. If she does will you give me five thousand dollars?"

Max responded, "Okay, but if the woman in the pink swimsuit wins you have to give me five thousand dollars."

Natsuki and the clone battled each other for several minutes. Natsuki grabbed the clone by the throat. The clone said, "I don't need to breathe to live so this won't stop me."

Natsuki responded, "You're impressive."

The clone said, "Your compliments are nice, but pathetic. It proves that I'm superior to you."

Natsuki replied, "You look like me, but you didn't inherit the same fighting skills as me."

The clone responded, "The fighting skills that clones have are superior to the people they're cloned after. You're going to learn all about that after I get rid of you." The clone gave Natsuki a big punch.

Natsuki smiled confidently and said, "I'm going to be the winner of this fight." Natsuki had learned about a kick to the ground that could easily help her win a battle. She avoided using it, because it would be too painful to use on humans. However Natsuki didn't have a problem with using the special kick on the clone. She kicked the clone to the ground. The kick was so powerful that the clone's operating system couldn't work anymore. Greg smiled while Max angrily screamed.

Shizuru ran up to Natsuki and hugged her. She said, "I'm so proud of you. You're more than just the darling love of my life. You're a true hero."

Natsuki responded, "Thank you Shizuru. You're a hero too."

Shizuru replied, "Yeah right."

Natsuki said, "You saved my heart from sadness so you're my hero." She and Shizuru kissed.

Shizuru asked, "Do you wanna go back into the ocean?"

Natsuki said, "Lets just relax for now. I've had enough adventure for one day." Natsuki laid back on her beach blanket. After dealing with a violent clone she needed and earned a long period of time for relaxing. She spent the rest of the day relaxing at the beach.
