"Miss Hildi…"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry he…"
"No……"

"Hildi as soon as I get back we're getting married!" said an overly happy, overly hyper Duo.
Hildi giggled. "I know Duo, I know!"

3 weeks later*
Muffled sobs racked the body of a wispy 18 year old. Grief stricken and underfeed had made her a lifeless shell.
"No……"
Sleep finally overcame the fiancé of death. But nightmares ruined the bliss.
The door slowly opened and a preppy teenager bounced in, oblivious to the now sleeping girl.
"Hildi, I'm home!!"
Silence except for the wind that blew through the open door.
The braided boy made his way to the family room.
"Hildi, were are you?"
He checked her room…no one. In desperation and growing panic he checked his own room.
"Hildi……"
On his bed lay his angel. Looking like the soul had been ripped from her lovely form. Her breath came in ragged gasps, obviously she had not eaten or slept in days and it was taking its tool.
"Hildi……" whispered Duo his eyes glossy. In a step he was by her side. Clutched in her small hands was a letter. He managed to rip it from her death grip.
Miss Hildi Schibecker,
His eyes became wide then looking down at his soon to be wife they flared with anger. Roughly he pulled her into his arms and hugged her to his chest.
Her eyes flared open with a look of terror that turned to unexplainable grief.
"D…Duo…"
"Hildi, it was a mistake. This other guy died. Not me. I wasn't on that shuttle Hildi…my Hildi…" he murmured, the last sentence a whisper.
"Your alive? Duo…"
"Yeah babe, I'm still counted among the living," he said as he looked down at her face eyes filled with emotion.
"Oh…Duo…I missed you so much…" she whispered. With a delicate hand she gently brushed his cheek.
Duo tears in his eyes kissed her. It was very light but proved to her he was real.
She smiled.
"Hildi…hildi…HILDI!!" his voice rising in panic. She had gone limp in his arms. He checked her pulse, still there but faint.

"Malnourishment and exhaustion that's all. She'll be fine. You her husband?"
He looked startled by the question. Then smiled in a smirky kind of way.
"Will be," he said as he hurried to her hospital room.
He hated to see her like this, hooked up to machines and so pale she looked ghostly.
"D…Duo…" croaked a small voice.
"It's okay Hildi, everything's gonna be okay," he said holding her in his arms.
She smiled.

"Duo really I'm fine," laughed Hildi.
"Na uh! The doctor said I could spoil you!"
A car door opened.
"Duo!! I can walk!!" screeched a bright red Hildi.
Duo happily carried her to their doorstep. He then set her down and looked sheepish.
"I gotta get the keys"
"Duo…"
He looked down at her now healthy features. His little pixie.
"Arishetue…" she whispered, eyes twinkling.
He smiled.
"Arishetue, Hildi"
