"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" Chihiro called into the skull.

"I'm coming!" Rin answered a second later. After a minute, Rin came barging through the door of the office. "What's wrong?"

"Yubaba's coming back!"

"What?! She can't! Haku banished her! She must know that he's not here. The spirits will back her up and turn against us. We need to get them out of here." Rin picked up the skull. "Attention all customers. I'm sorry to say that due to an emergency, the bathhouse will be closed for the rest of the night. All workers please report to the main hall as soon as everyone is out of here."

Grumbling, the spirits quickly left the bathhouse and the main hall was soon filled with workers. Chihiro stepped up onto a staircase to talk to them. "Umm..ATTENTION PLEASE!" she shouted, quieting the room. "You're probably all wondering why we called you here," she said, gesturing to herself and Rin, "and I think it would be best to be completely honest with all of you. Yubaba's coming back." The room was suddenly filled with conversation and worried looks. "QUIET PLEASE! QUIET!"

"But Yubaba can't come back!" came a shout from the crowd. "Master Haku banished her!"

"Well Haku isn't here right now," Rin said impatiently, "and apparently Yubaba knows that."

"I'm here," came a voice from behind the crowd. A teenage boy stepped forward. He had long hair that reached his shoulders and his face was serious.

"HAKU!" Chihiro shouted, running forward and hugging the boy. He hugged her back.

"Chihiro, it's good to see you again," Haku said, smiling. "So what's the problem? Yubaba's coming back."

"Uh huh. She says that I can't run the bathhouse."

"She can't come back," Haku said. "There's a spell on the bathhouse preventing that."

"Oh yea?" came a loud, booming voice. Everyone rushed outside to see where the voice came from. Standing across the bridge that led to the bathhouse was an old woman. Yubaba. "Watch this." Yubaba reached out. Immediately an invisible barrier appeared, and she placed her hands on it. "AAAAAAAAH!" In a bright flash, the barrier shattered, and Yubaba crossed the bridge. "Sen, get out of here."

"My name is Chihiro!" Chihiro shouted.

"You'll always be little Sen to me," Yubaba persisted.

"Get out of here," Haku said. He reached out his palm and sent a gust of wind at Yubaba, pushing her back.

"Oh, so it's a fight you want. Well then take this!" Yubaba opened her hand and sent a stream of fire shooting of Haku and Chihiro. Haku pushed the girl out of the way and jumped in the air. By now, a crowd had gathered. When the spirits left the bathhouse, they filled up the restaurants along the street, and now they were crowding around to see what the commotion was about. "Spirits, help me," Yubaba ordered. However, none of them moved. "What are you all doing?"

"They're waiting to see what will happen. They don't know if they should follow you, the wicked former owner, or Chihiro, the new owner," Haku answered. Then, out of the crowd stepped a large white creature with a red tinted head. It looked almost like a vegetable.

"The radish spirit!" Chihiro said. The large spirit hobbled over to Chihiro and handed her some money. Then he stood at her side.

"So you think you can beat me with the radish spirit to help you?" asked Yubaba. "HA! This will be fun." The old woman opened her hands and started to form a large fireball. Immediately, however, the fireball was doused. A river spirit had walked up and put out the fire.

"You're willing to attack an innocent girl because of your banishment? You aren't fit to run to this bath house," the spirit said. With that, the other spirits picked up Yubaba and carried her away. Haku quickly muttered a spell and rebuilt the barrier around the bathhouse.

"This spell is stronger," he said. "It should hold her back." Light flooded onto them. The sun was coming up.

"Chihiro," Rin said. "The sun's up. You can go home if you want to. The decision is up to you if you want to stay or not."

Everyone looked at her. The girl had to make up her mind.

"I think," she said after a moment, "that I'll stay here. Haku can go out and try to rebuild his river. I'll stay here." With that, a celebration began. The party went on for hours and hours. Once it was over, Chihiro found Rin sitting on a balcony looking out into the ocean. "You still want to get out of here, don't you?"

"Yeah. Someday I will too," Rin answered.

"Well you'll need these," Chihiro said, handing her a ticket to the train that runs across the ocean.

"How did you...?"

"I found them in Yubaba's desk. Take them and take a vacation. Go!"

"Thanks, kid!" Rin said, jumping up and running off.

"Oh, Rin! I have a question for you. What's your real name? Not the name Yubaba gave you."

"Marin. That's my real name. Bye!" With that, Rin left.

Chihiro went on running the bathhouse. Haku was able to slightly rebuild his river. He made it into a small pond to decorate the backyard of the apartments. Rin went on her trip and eventually returned. Yubaba was never seen or heard from again. Eventually, Chihiro and Haku were able to confess their love to each other. They grew up, got married, and live happily. The bathhouse was a great success.

That's the end. Sorry the ending is a little disappointing. I got weird writer's block. Oh well.
