Slowly, slowly Nagisa-chan's eyes opened her eyes to see Shizumi-sama's face closing down onto hers. She opened her mouth to say something, but her words were blocked by Shizumi-sama's lips pressing on her own. When Shizumi-sama finally took her lips off of Nagisa-chan's, Nagisa-chan whispered, "Shizumi-sama, are you alright?" Shizumi-sama was clearly surprised. "Nagisa-chan, I-I'm so glad you're alright!" Shizumi-sama whispered, tears streaming down from her face, around her smiling lips.

The next few days were harsh on the girls of St. Miator. Without Sister, there were almost no rules that remained unbroken. Tamao-chan still attended her duties as student council president, and slowly, the thoughts of the clock tower began to fade away. She was still worried about Nagisa-chan, and was wondering what happened to Miyuki-sama. It had almost been a week since the incident happened. Sister had finally taken charge over the school again.

Yaya-chan and Hikari-chan were walking back from Choir practice when they saw a familiar face walking through the gates of St. Miator. "Nagisa-chan, where were you?" Yaya-chan asked immediately. "I-I was at the hospital," Nagisa-chan said. "Why? What happened?" Hikari-chan pleadingly whispered. "I-I'll tell you guys about it later alright? This afternoon, I have to attend to something," Nagisa-chan replied. Leaving Yaya-chan and Hikari-chan, she started walking in the direction of the greenhouse.

"Oh my," Nagisa-chan sighed when she walked into the greenhouse. The flowers… the flowers were almost dead. Some had started to wilt, others were already a brown, muddy color. Still, she put on her apron and gloves, and started to tend to the flowers.

Meanwhile, Yaya-chan and Hikari-chan finally walked into Tamao-chan. "Tamao-chan, guess what?" Hikari-chan asked. "Nagisa-chan is back!" Yaya-chan exclaimed, unable to give Tamao-chan time to respond. "What? Really?" Tamao-chan gleefully said. "She said she had something to attend to, but we don't know what it is," Hikari-chan said. "Well, this calls for a celebration, how about a tea party tonight?" Tamao-chan asked. "Perfect!" Yaya-chan replied.

Tamao-chan had finally finished with the student council meeting when she walked into her dorm to find Nagisa-chan already there, sleeping. Slowly, Tamao-chan walked up to Nagisa-chan's bed and placed a finger on Nagisa-chan's cheek. "Aw, how cute," She said. Suddenly, Nagisa-chan's eyes fluttered open. "Tamao-chan?" Nagisa-chan groggily asked. Tamao-chan was speechless, so she just held Nagisa-chan's head close to her chest.

A while later, Hikari-chan and Yaya-chan snuck into the room. Yaya-chan almost shrieked when she saw Tamao-chan and Nagisa-chan, cuddled together in a single bed. Slowly, she poked Tamao-chan until she woke up. "Tamao-chan, did you forget about the tea party?" Hikari-chan quietly asked.

"So start from the beginning," Yaya-chan said. They were all sitting at the small table that held their tea party. Tamao-chan's tea was still untouched on the center of the table. "I-I was going to the circus-" Nagisa-chan started, but Yaya-chan interrupted, "Nagisa-chan, you're not allowed to go without an escort, remember?" "I know that, and I was able to go because Shizumi-sama picked me up," Nagisa-chan whispered. "Oh- so that's how she got trapped to?" Tamao-chan asked, looking towards Nagisa-chan. Nagisa-chan, unable to look at Tamao-chan's eyes, replied, "We took a cab, but Momomi-sama was driving it and dropped some sort of knock-out gas onto us," Nagisa-chan whispered. "Well, it sure beats how me and Sister got trapped," Tamao-chan said, smiling. "How were you trapped?" Yaya-chan asked.

"Well, me and Sister were deep in the halls of the clock tower when the knockout gas was all around us, without knowing it," Tamao-chan said. The others giggled. "Then what happened?" Hikari-chan asked. "Well, you remember those anvils in those glass rooms?" Nagisa-chan shivered when she whispered this question. "Oh no… how bad was it?" Yaya-chan's quiet words were filled with worry. "We wouldn't be here if Nagisa-chan did what she did," Tamao-chan looked at Nagisa-chan, who was resting her head on Tamao-chan's chest. "What did you do?" Hikari-chan asked.

"Tamao-chan, before it happened, read me a few stories, and I remembered what the person did in one of them," Nagisa-chan said. "What did you actually do?" Yaya-chan restated Hikari-chan's question. "She caused a blackout by pushing a paperclip into an outlet," Tamao-chan said. "Wait, if she made a black out, wouldn't someone notice?" Hikari-chan asked. "Well, the clock tower does have its own generator," Tamao-chan said. "How would you know that?" Yaya-chan asked. "I took a few trips on my own to explore it," Tamao-chan blushingly admitted.

"It's getting late," Hikari-chan said. "You're right," Tamao-chan said. It was 1:12 a.m. in the morning. "Well, I guess we'll see you in class," Yaya-chan said. After Yaya-chan and Hikari-chan left, Nagisa-chan snuggled up close to Tamao-chan. "Nagisa-chan are you alright?" Tamao-chan whispered in her ear. "I-I'm fine," Nagisa-chan whispered back, pressing her body closer to Tamao-chan's.

The night was still. Very few noises could be heard. Even at Shizumi-sama's house it was silent. There, it never happened. This night was filled with nightmares and scares. Shizumi-sama was paranoid with the feeling that someone was watching her. Even when Miyuki-sama came home from work, Shizumi-sama was still sitting at the table, with a knife in her hands.

The plane had left the airport. Kaname-sama and Momomi-sama were gone. Now, they were headed for California, in the United States of America. The only reason that they were going there was to visit Momomi-sama's aunt, and to get married.
