(Note: This fight is based on a couple, but the potential bride and groom aren't fighting each other. I may write Yaoi and Yuri if I am given advice... Since I've never done them before.)

Chapter 2: Snow VS Dorothy

"Two people may enter." Reverse Gate Keeper Clown, Babbo's eigth version, dictated.

"Ginta! Don't leave me! I love you!..." Snow cried. Her eyes filled with tears as she watched him step closer to the gate... To his old life...

Ginta stopped for a moment as Danna continued to walk forward. His old life was so boring, and, besides, people were so cruel to him. So many people made fun of him. If he were to return, those same people would still treat him strangely, acting like he was either an alien, or hounding him about his adventures in that dream world. "Besides," he thought. "Mom would be happy with Dad around... And I can go back a little later..." Ginta turned to his father: "Go on ahead, dad. It looks like I'll need to spend a minute back here." Danna turned and smiled at Ginta's friends, all of whom seemed eager at his words. "Ok, then." Ginta's father turned and entered the gate.

"One person must still enter." The Gate spoke anxiously.

"Ok. Edward, I think that my world would be interested in a talking dog."

"A what?!" Edward gasped. But it was too late. Ginta grabbed Edward by a collar and threw him into the gate.

"Both people have been accepted. Gate closing..." The Gate Keeper Clown disappeared, and warped back into Babbo.

"Ginta!" Babbo gasped.

"Ginta!" Snow laughed.

"Gin-tan!" Dorothy cheered.

"Ginta, wasn't that your last chance?" Alviss turned to the lad, shocked.

"I can always make Babbo do it again, right?" Ginta smiled.

-------------

That was three months ago. Edward was still missing, yet none of the new Cross Guard recruits seemed to care. Apparently, neither did Princess Snow.

Ginta was sitting in the lavish royal quarters of the Lestavan Castle. Snow was sitting by him, staring at him the entire time. But Ginta didn't care. He was the hero of Mar Heaven. Everyone looked up to him. He could just snap his fingers and ninety servants would bring him plates of food.

Soon, Alviss, who was forced to take Edward's place, entered the room. "The ambassador from Caldea has arrived, Princess." Alviss bowed.

"Thanks, Al!" Ginta laughed.

A vein began to bulge in Alviss's forehead, but he had to keep his mouth shut. It was humiliating, to say the least, but Lestava needed a new messenger. Since Alan and Gaira were too old, well, Alviss was the messenger until someone could find a replacement. After all, Magical Roe was incarcerated. Alan figured that he'd need some time in jail to rethink his priorities.

The moment she heard Ginta's voice, Dorothy ran into the room. "Gin-tan!" She cheered and ran up to him, grabbing onto his smaller body. Snow glared daggers at Dorothy, and spoke to Alviss: "Al, close the door!" As Alviss began to follow that command, Dorothy was snapped out of her Ginta craze for a moment to say a farewell: "Bye, Al!"

Alviss closed the door, and now Ginta was trapped between two girls.

"I had a feeling that you'd come..." Snow glared at Dorothy, her hand reaching a small chain attached to her waist.

Dorothy felt alarmed: "Wait, Snow... You..."

"Get your hands off of my Ginta!"

"Don't talk like that to your aunt! Besides, Ginta's mine!" Dorothy growled as she activated the Zephyrus Broom.

--------

Alviss could swear that he heard Ginta scream: "Stop pulling me!" He peaked through the keyhole, and gasped. Dorothy and Snow were playing tug of war with Ginta, pulling him to either side, each claiming ownership of him. Finally, both couldn't take it anymore. They let go at once, and Ginta crawled over to the door. His eye met Alviss's, and he gasped: "Alviss, let me out!"

Alviss, being of a lower rank than Snow or Ginta, was forced to oblidge. Ginta burst out of the room, and Snow screamed: "Close the Door, Alviss!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Alviss shuddered, slamming the door.

Ginta and Alviss huddled outside the door, both hearing the screams of battle within.

------------

"Ginta is Mine!" Snow screamed as she readied Iced Earth.

"Don't disobey your Aunt!" Dorothy replied equally fiercely as she twirled her Zephryus Broom.

"You're too old for him!" Snow growled as she activated the Arm.

"Now, you've done it! Broom of Zephryus!" Dorothy yelled, swinging her broom.

Shards of Ice flew at Dorothy, while she countered with a blast of wind from her broom. "You're still young, so you aren't as skilled as your aunt. Ginta would never choose you!" Dorothy laughed as Snow had to deal with both the wind and her own ice shards flying back at her.

Alviss sighed: "It's bad enough for Dorothy to be fighting with Snow over you..." Alviss stared at the ground, depression in his eyes.

Ginta looked at Alviss, and back at the door. "And it's not like I really like her or anything." He whispered in the older lad's ear.

-------------

Snow suddenly started to talk sweetly to Dorothy: "Auntie, you shouldn't try going for younger men... Someone like Alviss or Nanashi would be better for you. Ginta's several years younger than you, and I don't think he's interested in older women."

"Hah, do you think that because I'm your Aunt, I'm old? Give me a break! Gin-tan needs a more mature woman to take care of him, not a tiny, immature, flat-chested girl like you!" Dorothy snickered sinisterly.

"Flat-chested?! Immature?!" Snow burned bright red. "You're going down!"

"Guardian Arm: Flying Leo!"

"Yuki-chan, please!"

Flying Leo was smashed by a barrage of giant snowmen. Dorothy raised an eyebrow: "Huh, hate to say this, but I'd expect as much from my niece. Guardian Arm: Crazy Quilt!"

"Iced Earth!"

The moment the doll appeared, Iced Earth flew forward, stabbed through the doll's clothing, and pinned it to the wall.

"Guardian Arm: Crucified Scarecrow!"

"Guardian Arm: Undine!"

It took fifteen Aqua Needles to finally bring the Scarecrow down.

Dorothy had taken no damage, but it looked like her Arms were of little effect against Snow. The sorceress started to get mad: "Guardian Arm: Birikin!"

To save Magical energy, Snow recalled Undine and brought out her Snowman. Two giants battled each other, both knowing full well that, not too long ago, they were the closest of allies. (1.)

The combined surge of magical energy brought about by the summoning of both Guardians caused the walls of the room to begin to crack. It was a large room, but it couldn't possibly survive for long under such circumstances...

"Yuki-chan... Crush that ugly thing!"

"Birikin, it's just a snowman... Smash it!"

Both girls yelled constant orders at their respective Guardians, but there didn't seem to be much of an effect... The two Guardians were basically equal in strength.

Dorothy couldn't afford to lose, Ginta was so adorable, and passionate, and she wanted him.

Snow, too, thought highly of Ginta. She was a Princess. He was a Hero. Practically every Marchen fairy tale dictated that the Hero marries the Princess, so it was destiny that would bring them together.

------------

Ginta whispered in Alviss's ear: "Just between you and me, I don't like either of them that way. Snow's a sister and all, and I'll protect her, but it just seems weird for me to be dating her and all."

Alviss nodded. Though he never had a sister, theoretically, it would be weird to date one's sister.

"And Dorothy, that girl's just one big mosquito. She's so freaking annoying..."

Alviss nodded, but had a slight smile. Ginta rolled his eyes.

------------

Snow, being only fourteen years old, began to run out of energy before Dorothy, who, at seventeen, was much stronger than most girls her age.

Thus, Yuki-chan finally fell before Birikin, and Snow was defeated. "No... No!... Now he'll choose you! Ginta will be my uncle instead of my husband! I... I can't accept that!" She cried.

"Well, you'd better, because you lost. Maybe you should have trained harder..."

"Auntie, please!"

"As your Aunt, I can't spoil you, so I can't give you Ginta."

"NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Snow burst into tears.

---------

Ginta and Alviss heard the scream. "Well, we know who won." Alviss turned to Ginta.

"I'm ready for them." Ginta stood up.

Dorothy opened the door: "Gin-tan!"

"You annoy me. Go away." Ginta glared.

"Gin-?"

"I Don't Like You, Dorothy. That's all..."

"Ginta? Why...?"

"You're annoying, you won't stop tackling me, and you continuously molest me whenever I'm within thirty feet of you. Quite honestly, if Mar Heaven had restraining orders, I'd ask for the Cross Guard to file one for me, so that you'd stay away..." (2.)

"Does that mean?" Snow beamed.

"Snow, you're my sister, and I don't believe in incest."

Snow also burst into tears. "Then... Then who...?"

Ginta shook his head: "I didn't expect to bring a wife back to my world. All I wanted was to have fun in my dream world, not get caught in some huge love triangle. Can't we just be friends?"

"But we love you!" Snow and Dorothy chimed.

"I love you like a sister, Snow, but I won't father your children."

Snow cried and ran away. For the first time in his life, Alviss witnessed Dorothy cry as she, too, ran off.

"Now I'm gonna go run around in the field. Wanna come?" Ginta turned to the older boy.

In a daze, Alviss shook his head.

"Your loss." Ginta skipped off.

Alviss stared at the merry Ginta, and turned back to where Snow and Dorothy ran away. "That... Was fast..."

Then he heard the screams:

"You're the reason why Ginta left us!"

"No, niece, you scared him because you wanted him to commit incest! You shouldn't have even tried in the first place!"

"HOW DARE YOU?!"

"Good god..." Alviss promptly fainted.

1. I've seen the anime, and yes, Snow VS Dorothy is a concept I find hilarious...

2. Seriously, I know that was OOC, but Ginta really should speak up. Dorothy molesting him is so frightening...
