Disclaimer: I do not own Pretear in any way but if I did (tee hee hee).
Six years have passed since Himeno defeated the Princess of Disaster and a lot of things have changed. Himeno is no longer the Pretear and Hayate was no longer a Leafe Knight but they are happy with their decision. The new Pretear was a loud, in-your-face type of girl who was very similar to Himeno but also very different. The Leafe Knights are all older now and trying to find someone to love.
In Miyuki's apartment:
"Do you wanna practice again today Miyuki?" Goh asked as he walked around the mess in her apartment, she was the equivalent of fie college fraternity guys and that took years of practice. There were clothes all over the place but the kitchen was always clean.
"I don't really feel like preting with anybody right now. No offence but I kinda want to be alone right now." Miyuki said sadly as she ran a hand through her shoulder length black hair. She resembled Takako in many ways long dark hair but the only difference was that she had a warmth to her that drew people to her instead of pushing them away.
"What's wrong, babe?" Goh asked sweetly as he walked behind her.
"Goh please don't call me that… you know how hard it is for me to hear you say that… I am not ready for a relationship with anybody… plus I am the Pretear and you are a Leafe knight it's not supposed to happen" Miyuki sighed as she tried pushed her feelings for him out of her mind.
"It can happen. Look at Himeno and Hayate and they are happy with each other and their choice. It can happen if you want it to" Goh replied and quickly changed the subject. "So how is that work problem going?"
"It is getting better" Miyuki sighed. Recently she had been having problems with a coworker harassing her, calling her a pampered princess who really didn't need this job. But she was wrong she never went to her father for anything, but he never had a hard time bothering her.
"You haven't seen him recently have you?" he pushed the subject "You have seen him I can tell… why do you put yourself through this? We all think that you should stop putting yourself in these situations because we feel the aftermath and we hate to see you down like this. What did he do this time?"
Flashback
"Miyuki I forbid you to see those boys ever again it is simply unfitting for a girl your age to be running around with a bunch of boys all day" Her farther yelled at her, pointing his finger at her blouse "and it isn't appropriate for you to wear such low cut shirts."
"You don't understand Father we are just friends that is it nothing more… and besides it is not like I like any of them as more than a friend" Miyuki yelled. "And my shirt is not low cut Daddy it is my work shirt, so if you have a problem talk to my boss." Miyuki replied "I know there is no use in fighting over this"
"That's a good girl. I knew you would see things my way" her Father smiled. "You are coming around young lady I am pleased."
"NO I DO NOT SEE THINGS YOUR WAY! These boys are the only friends I have… I don't want to be lonely… and I don't think that you want your only daughter to be lonely either" she yelled at him. "I hate the way you still treat me like I am five, I am almost a grown woman."
"You are right I don't want to see you be lonely but you have to find some female friends soon or I will have to cut off your allowance. And I know that we both don't want that to happen" Her dad said as he left. "And if you are such a grown woman start acting like it"
End Flashback
"Like I said already WHY DO YOU LET HIM WALK ALL OVER YOU LIKE THAT?" Goh yelled at Miyuki. "You deserve better."
"Goh you just don't understand he is my father I can't just forget about him or ignore him, he is paying for my school and car and apartment. I can't afford to just cut my ties with him My future is literally in his hands" Miyuki yelled. "Cutting him out would be like cutting off my hand I cant be without it"
"We can help you with that we are all willing to help. We all really care about you. Just let him go" Goh yelled back. "Trust us, trust me."
"Like I said you just don't understand because you don't have parents. None of you guys can understand, it is different for me. Always daddy's little princess, I wish I could do it but I cant" She screamed as she ran out of the room.
Goh sat there and stared at the door 'What did I just do baka, baka, baka!' he yelled at himself and decided that he should go to work to get his mind off of what he just did, so he left for work.
Later that day at Kei's work:
"Kei why did I say such horrible things to him? Why was I so mean to him? He was just trying to help me." Miyuki cried in Kei's lap. "I just am so sick and tired of other people trying to live my life for me."
"If I know Goh as well as I think I do he probably lost his temper too" Kei said "but Mi-Chan the part that probably makes you the maddest is that you know he is right, we all see how you get after a visit with your "father" he only said that because he wants to see you happy we all do because you are our Pretear" he said as he stroked her head. "I feel the same way but I can understand how you feel."
"Thanks you always know what to say to make me feel better." Miyuki looked up into Kei's golden eyes. "I wish other people could see this side of you." Miyuki sniffled "So how are things with Mannen?" She asked as she wiped her eyes.
"They are exactly the same as the last time we talked" Kei replied sadly. "I simply can't talk to him about it, it is just to weird."
"Why don't you let him know how you feel, he is older now and it isn't gross and weird anymore" Miyuki joked. "Unless you want it to be."
"I will tell Mannen how I feel when you give Goh a chance, I know that you like him I can tell. Just give him a chance it could turn out really well you don't know" Kei told her.
"Fine it is a deal we tell them how we feel!" Miyuki stood up "but how will we know when the other has done it and how long do we have?" she asked.
"Well I think that two weeks is a good time and we will tell each other at the end of the two weeks if we did it or not." Kei suggested as he put out his hand "lets call it a bet."
"Fine it's a bet" Miyuki shook his hand and stood up and started to leave.
"Where are you going?" Kei asked
"To find Goh and work out this whole mess!" Miyuki struck a pose "See ya Kei-Chan"
"See ya Mi-Chan" Kei waved her off 'what have I gotten my self into' he asked himself
'This should prove to be great fun' Miyuki smiled at the thought.
