"Yay! At last! A dream come true!" Kazuki exclaimed dramatically, going down to the floor and started to recite and thank all the god's names he could think of.

"S-Stop it." Hitome and Akane smacked his head at once,"You're embarrassing us."

"W-Wait, dad... A-Are you sure you want to bring them along? I mean… Well, they're still young..." Saito said.

"Well, we can't leave them here." said Kichirou "Besides, is almost the holidays. Don't forget, the're aristocratic too. They need to discover their powers."

Saito sighed. "Maybe you're right. We're a family and we stick together forever, no matter what!" A sudden inspiration caught him and he recited these few words that he said a long time ago, together with Louise, but in a different version.

"Wait! H-Hold up dad!" Akane said.

"Yeah! S-Stick together F-F-FOREVER?!" Hitomi exclaimed.

"Yeah, dad. Don't you want us to get married!?" Akane agreed.

"Eh… Hmm, I didn't think of that. But that is a good idea. You will all stay with me and your mother, as our little puppies." Saito scratched his head and grinned as he made fun of them.

"Oh no.. This gotta be a pain in a butt!" Akane facepalmed.

"I'll say.." Hitomi sighed.

"Little p-puppies!? Does that mean he'll treat us like kids even though we're already teenagers!?" Kazuki asked.

The three teenagers sighed again and wallowed in self pity, disappearing from the conversation of the grown-ups.

"But what about their school?" Louise asked.

"Well my dear Louise, as a parent is your job to take responsibility for your kids." Ayame said, winking and hinting something to Louise.

"Oh..." Louise agreed, as an idea sparked up in her head.

Sparkles were heard again.

"Saito." Louise looked at him seriously with an evil glint in her eyes.

"Y-Yes?" Saito asked, clearly sure that something was bound to happen the moment Louise had that glint in her eyes.

"You will be responsible for our kids when they get back home." Louise announced, smiling at Saito.

"EHH?!"Saito exclaimed, "W-Why? You should be the one! D-Despite of your height and your… You know.. Breast, you chatter like a parrot."

"D-Despite m-my w-what?! And like a p-parrot!?" Louise blushed deeply and screamed at Saito, who trembled, regretting what he had just said.

"H-How dare you say this to your master….B-BAKA INU!"

"Ahh, Louise! W-Wait!"

Saito yelled and screamed as Louise chased him around the living room, attempting to whack him.

"N-next time, I think we better not mess with mom." Akane concluded, voice trembling.

"I think you're right."Hitomi said.

"Poor dad." Kazuki agreed.

"Come on kids! Let's go pack our stuff. We're leaving in an hour's time, this is an emergency!." Ayame said, pushing the kids to their room, leaving Louise, now caught Saito, attempting to whack him. Saito, on the other hand, planted a kiss firmly on Louise that caught Louise off guard, as she blushed, closed her eyes and melted off into the kiss.

After the incident, Louise and Saito help the kids pack while Kichirou and Ayame helped Saito and Louise, along with themselves. After they were done packing and ready to go, Louise took off the cloth covering the magic mirror.

"Mom, what's that?" Kazuki asked.

"It's a mirror given by the queen for our wedding gift, a mirror that can transport almost about anything," Louise said, smiling to her kids.

Through the mirror, they could see a house's basement from the mirror, and it was a fantastic sight, which reminded Saito, Louise as well as Kichirou and Ayame their long lost days and adventures back then.

"Wow..." The three kids echoed in amazement.

"Are you all ready, kids?"

"All ready!" Akane said.

"Yup!" Hitomi said.

Louise looked at Saito, Ayame and Kichirou. The three nodded their heads as they were also ready. Saito held a firm grip on Louise's hand, then finally let go.

"Let's go." Saito said.

Saito headed towards the mirror first, helping to lead the kids in. When it looked like he was about to hit the mirror, he disappeared through. The twins, being the most excited, ran in after Saito, followed by Kazuki, who was taking his time to digest the new feelings of excitement and curiosity in him. Louise then went in after ensuring that the kids were safe, then Saito's parents, who were feeling a slight discomfort to entering Halkeginia again.

"Woah!" The twins said, as they looked around the dark basement of the house. The only light source was from the other world they just came from.

Kazuki was so surprised that he could hardly even talk.

"Let's go upstairs. Oh, wait..." Saito said as he realised that they were stuck.

In the darkness, there was a door that looked extremely familiar at the top of the stairs...

Flashback#

Louise bangs a hammer repeatedly on the door, taking out her anger on it.

"What's wrong with this room?" Siesta asked worriedly.

"Evil beings come from it, so we are going to seal it!" Louise said.

"Nails and boards!" Louise yelled to Saito.

"Y-Yes! Right away!" Saito replied immediately, following her orders like how a dog obeys it's master.

Saito puts a nail on the wood, and Louise gets ready to hammer it.

Louise took a deep breath.

"One, Two…."

"Owww!" Instead of the nail, Louise hits Saito's hand with the hammer as he screams in pain, tears starting to flow from his eyes.

"G-Give me the hammer! I'll do it!"

"What? You think your master don't know how to do it?!"

"J-Just give it to me!" Saito yelled as he snatched the hammer away from her.

#Flashback

"Oh, yeah… We built it…" Saito muttered to himself, knowing that Louise probably forgot about it.

'All right! It's time to show my children how its done!' Louise thought.

"I'll take care of it!" Louise said proudly.

She took out her wand and waved it in the air.

"W-Wait!"

Too late.

"Explosion!"

Boom! The wood exploded into bits and pieces.

"Woah! Dad was right! Mom really does have extremely powerful magic hidden inside her!" Akane said.

"Mmm hmm." Kazuki and Hitomi nodded their head.

'I knew it! She forgot!' Saito thought.

"Well… Louise… You were the one who insisted we built that wall… And now you blew it up…" Saito said, scratching his head, grinning.

"Mum! You're hilarious!" Kazuki said, as three of the teenagers and the two seniors burst into laughter.

"Y-You… B-BAKA INU! How dare you embarrass me in front of the kids?!" Louise screamed, aiming her wand at Saito.

"Ah, ah, no! SORRY!" Saito yelled and ran, but he was too late.

"EXPLOSION!"

"What is this place, anyway?" Kichirou asked, looking around the grand house as they walked down the corridor.

"This house was given by the princess of Tristain to Louise and I," Saito replied, "Siesta must have been helping with the house's keep up while we were gone. Louise, we should thank her later."

"Yeah." Louise said, smiling as she felt the spotless walls.

"Wow! It is huge!" Akane and Hitomi said.

"Mmm.." Kazuki nodded.

Just as they stepped out of the house, the device which Kirche gave it to Louise slowly floated up into the air and started to turn.

"Woah, mom! It's floating!" Kazuki exclaimed.

"I think it is guiding us to the direction of…" Louise paused for a while and observed the device . "Tristain Academy of Magic."

"Wait, Tristain Academy of Magic?! You mean THE Tristain Academy of Magic that where grandpa and grandma and so were mom and dad's…" Kazuki trailed off, staring at Louise for an answer.

"Yes, Kazuki. Sigh... Remember the good old days... Right, Saito?" Louise said as she smiled evilly at Saito.

"Er… Yeah! Haha…" Saito said, along with a forced smile.

"Good old days!? To me those were the worst and the best days of my life..." Saito thought.

Flashback#

"Saito!" Louise yelled angrily.

"Ahh, Louise! No! No! STOP!"

-Whack! Whack!-

Saito yelled and screamed as Louise whipped him.

#Flashback.

Saito sighed heavily, thinking about the past that he is afraid of and the past that he found Louise as his wife.

"My my Saito, why are you sighing?" Ayame asked

"Nothing! " Saito laughed forcefully. "Nothing at all! Right? Louise? Heh heh."

Suddenly, a cold breeze came blowing. A loud 'roar' echoed through the air and there was a loud thump on the ground.

"Wh-Wh-What is that!?" Kazuki shouted.

Everyone froze and hung their mouths wide in shock as they stared at the sight in front of their eyes.
