A/N: Sorry it took so long! I finally found my notebook and reserved a spot on our family computer. Heh, heh… so please enjoy and review!!

Disclaimer: The only reason I do this is because it's so fun! I don't own Pretear; I just love to bully Hayate!


Don't mix with monkeys!

Hayate sighed wondering how such a cute girl could be so stupid. "What are you drinking?"

Himeno looked up, confused and tears tugging at the corner of her eyes. "Where were y-you? You were g-gone so long…"

"Wha--? Himeno, what's wrong? I went to get us some refreshments." Hayate was becoming increasingly nervous. 'Did I do something wrong?' He thought.

"Don't you 'refreshments' me! I saw you flirting with the drink lady! How could you?! I thought you asked me to the party?! I thought you wanted to dance with me?!" Himeno's tears quickly disappeared and were replaced by anger.

"Ok, ok! I'm sorry! Himeno, please! I'm sorry!" Hayate took cover for the worst. But nothing happened.

"Ok! I forgive you! Can I have one of those drinks now?" Himeno stood smiling at Hayate like nothing was wrong. Hayate was beyond confused.

"Sure. Here." He said a little stunned at the sudden change. Himeno took the drink and gulped it down, then frowned.

"Hayate? What was that?" Himeno asked quietly. Hayate frowned and calmly replied,

"Sparkling apple cider. I thought that you liked it." Himeno looked up and was looking at him disappointedly.

"I don't really like it. It's ok. Can I get some water?" Hayate was fed up and said,

"Get it your self!" Hayate folded his arms across his chest.

"I don't wanna! It's the boy's job to get drinks, so get 'em!" Himeno shouted in Hayate's face.

"Man, you are so stubborn!" Hayate shouted back.

"NO! I am NOT stubborn!" Himeno stomped her foot angrily. On top of Hayate's.

"Ow! Watch it!" Hayate held his foot and shouted at Himeno.

"Ya know what, buddy?! I HATE YOU!!" Himeno shouted. Hayate froze and looked at Himeno painfully.

"What?" He struggled to find the right words. It hurt.

Himeno's eyes glazed over and she was hit was realization. "No, Hayate, I didn't mean it. I- I don't know what happened to me. I-I couldn't control my emotions. Please, believe me…" Himeno pleaded to Hayate as he turned and flew off into the night. She swallowed the tears and turned and spotted the strange waiter who served her that strange drink. He was smirking, and then vanished.

'No, it couldn't be. Did he…?' Himeno walked to the spot where he vanished. A small piece of paper was on the floor. It was some sort of label. It said:

'WARNING!: This drink makes the drinker

go 'emotionally haywire'. Proceed with

caution. Do not mix with monkeys.'

Himeno looked at Hayate's small retreating form in the sky. She knew that this was the drink she took from the weirdo waiter. Himeno need to talk to Hayate.

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

It was a gorgeous day outside. Himeno's parents quickly excused themselves after eating breakfast to take a walk. Mawata went exploring with the kids in the 'yard'. Heck, even Mayune was outside.

'Probably setting traps for me or something.' Himeno thought grumpily. Even though the two girls got a long better, Mayune still set traps for Himeno. (When she asked Mayune about it she replied, laughing, "Old habits die hard! Ho, ho, ho!")

So, if everyone was outside, why was Himeno inside?

"If I stay inside long enough, someone will come and look for me. Then, causally bring up where Hayate is and then show him the evidence and apologize!" Himeno mumbled her plan to herself for the 56th time.


-12 hours later-

"What?! You didn't even notice I wasn't outside?!" Himeno and her family were eating dinner. Nobody came to look for her so she causally brought up what she did all day.

Waiting.

When she found out that she was not missed, or even noticed, Himeno was angry.

"Well, we had other plans today. What you did was really none of our concern." Himeno's mother retorted.

"Ugh, not fair." Himeno sighed. Mayune looked out the window and noticed a tall silhouette against the setting sky.

"Hey isn't that--" Mayune had their attention for all of 2 seconds.

"HAYATE!" Himeno shouted and ran out the door.

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

Himeno bust out of her mansion/home and ran towards Hayate.

"Hayate! Wait, please! Please don't leave just yet!" Himeno shouted desperately.

"What?" Hayate spat as though she wasn't worth his time.

"Please, please, please read this." Himeno thrust the label into his hands. He read the paper slowly.

"That was that strange drink I had. I am so sorry for what I said. It really is the opposite of how I really feel. Oh! You didn't hear that did you? Um, I said that the sunset is very pretty today! So did you eat yet? Um, uh…"

Hayate stared at the girl beside him. He truly was in love. 'Don't mix with monkeys huh?' He thought teasingly. He pulled Himeno into a hug.

"Huh?" Himeno saw surprised at the sudden movement.

"Himeno, I love you." Hayate whispered into her hair. Himeno went red as her whispered back,

"Me too."

"Well, now we know what happens when you mix this thing with a monkey." Hayate allowed her to lean back.

"Hey! You-" Himeno's anger was swallowed up in a kiss.

"But won't you be my monkey?" Hayate broke the kiss after a while.

"Yes."
