Seven years have passed since the night Mina found out that she was pregnant. Just as Makoto had promised, they did find a way out without giving up Mina's profession as a model. Mina was now a world famous model and Makoto had opened up her own restaurant. Both she and Mina are more than successful as ever.

"Momma! Momma!" shouted a 7-year-old girl with wavy blonde hair in a ponytail and blue eyes.

"Mia! I'm over here!" replied an older female with brown hair also in a ponytail and green eyes.

"Mom, I missed you," Mia came up to her and gave her a kiss and a hug.

"I missed you too, honey. Did you have fun in soccer camp?" she asked, happy to see her child.

"Yea, I received an award for being the top soccer player in camp," she showed her mother her medal.

"Mako-chan! Did you find her yet?" a blonde asked from the parking lot.

"Yea, Mina-chan, we'll be there in a few," Makoto answered back.

"Mom, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten since we left camp," Mia complained.

"Okay, honey," Makoto said as they walked toward the parking lot.

"What took you guys so long? I have a photo shoot in an hour! I can't afford to be late," Mina grumbled.

"Mina, we'll just get something to eat real fast and then I'll drop you off myself, sound good?" Makoto suggested.

"Fine, whatever," Mina said back.

They had decided to eat at the nearest restaurant that they could find. Unfortunately, as they were driving, they had accidentally hit a sharp rock, causing the car tires to go flat.

"No, no. Not now," Makoto begged her car, "Mina, do you mind pushing the car as I park it on the sidewalk?"

"Mako-chan, you know I'm wearing a really expensive dress. Why don't Mia push it?" she replied, receiving a glare from Mia.

"Ugh, Mina. Fine I'll push you drive," Makoto said as she opened the car door and goes to the back of the car. "Mina at the count of three, you push on the gas okay, Mina?" there was no reply, "Mina?"

"Mom, she's talking to some guy. Here, let me call her for you. MINA!" Mia screamed directly in her ear.

Mina thought her eardrums were going to pop and got irritated, "Brat! I heard you! I was just asking this man if he could give us a ride, so that it will save us the trouble of having to change the tires."

"Mom, she said-"

Before Mia could continue, Makoto came to the front of the car and interrupted her, "I heard her." Noticing the young man with a long brown hair in a braid she asked him, "You want to give us a ride?"

"Yeah, babe, that is, if you want me to. By the way, the name's Duo, Duo Maxwell," the young man introduced himself.

"Oh, my name's Mina Aino and this is my best friend Makoto Kino," she said with a smile. Mia then faked a cough from the backseat, "Oh yeah, that brat is Mako-chan's daughter, Mia."

"Hi!" she waved.

Duo looked at Makoto, "Really? When I first saw her, I thought she was Mina's daughter,"

"NO WAY!" both Mina and Mia yelled.

"No way I'll have a daughter like that brat!" Mina said and stuck her tongue out to Mia.

Mia returned the gesture and said, "No way I'll have a mom as irresponsible and boy crazy as you either."

"Why you little-" Mina was about to attack her.

Makoto began to intervene and said, "Settle down, you two. Mr. Maxwell, Mia IS my daughter," she lied. "She looks like Mina because her father just happened to have the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Mina."

"Ok, you guys don't have to go jumpy about it. As I was saying earlier, do you guys want to accept my offer?" he offered.

"Sure, Duo," Mina replied starry eyed.

"Mommy, I'm hungry," Mia whined.

"If this kiddo here is hungry, then we better hurry and I'll treat you guys to eat. I myself is looking for some grub to digest," he said as he helped the two women and the child to climb into is car.

As they've reached the nearest diner, everyone sighed with relief. They either were hungry or needed to use the restroom badly. Duo and Mia raced to order their food while Mina went to the restroom to freshen up and Makoto went to sit at a table. After a couple of minutes, everyone was on the table chatting and eating.

"So, Duo, what do you do for a living?" Mina asked him.

Before Duo could answer, a little girl along with her mother came up to Mina, "Ma'am, may I have your autograph for my little daughter? You're Mina Aino, the famous model, aren't you?"

"Mako-chan, did you hear that? They want my autograph," she told her best friend happily and Mia just rolled her eyes. "Sure,"

Noticing Mia, the woman asked, "Oh, how cute! Is that your daughter?"

Mina immediately replied, "No, of course not! Models can't have children! Sure, some mother models can, but my contract requires me to not have a child,"

"I'm sorry, thank you for the autograph," the woman apologized then left.

"You're Mina Aino? As in the most beautiful model in the world?" Duo blurted out then added, "Will you go out with me?"
