Disclaimers: I do not own Spirited Away, or any of the characters except Lucy and Martha.

Nelisa: I just want to say.. Thankie for the review! I would have had this chappie out sooner, but my computer froze up and I had to restart without saving it, so I had to rewrite. But it's here, so I guess that's all that matters. Hehe.

Martha: Uhm.. Yes, what she said. Oh, I was thinking that I should have a bigger role in the story, not as big as Chihiro or Haku, but darn close. What do you think?

Nelisa: Dream on.

Martha: But if the fans like me-

Nelisa: The fans can choose who they want to have a bigger role. Now hush. Where's Lucy, by the way?

Lucy: Right here! I just had lunch.. And what a lunch it was!

Nelisa: But, you had lunch ten minutes ago..

Martha: Lucy loves to eat, you know that!

The next day, the three girls went out to a new shopping mall to buy shoes.

"Why are we buying shoes, again? We've all got enough shoes already." Martha asked.

"Yes, but that's all we can afford." Chihiro smiled. She'd already forgotten about the other night, when she thought she saw Haku.

"Why didn't we ask our parents for more money?" Lucy groaned. "I'm hungry."

"Needing a reminder already? You're always hungry, Luce." Martha grinned and lightly hit Lucy on the shoulder.

"Ow!" Lucy smirked, and pretended Martha hit her hard enough to make her collapse. A tall boy with long, dark blue hair and jade green eyes saw this, and walked over to help Lucy up. Chihiro shook her head, and looked up at the boy.

'I recognize him, from somewhere.. He looks almost like-' Chihiro interrupted her own thoughts, "Haku?" She asked the boy. He'd helped Lucy up, making Martha slightly jealous. "Faker." Martha hissed when Luce walked back over to her friend. But she was smiling.

"Chihiro?" Haku asked. He already knew it was her. He just wanted her to say it really was, though why he didn't know.

Chihiro nodded. "It's been a while." She laughed nervously. She didn't want to get all excited when her friends were standing right there.

"You two know eachother?" Lucy asked, looking between them. Haku and Chihiro nodded. "Old friends."

Haku looked Chihiro over. She was still kind of plain, but always beautiful in his eyes. Her brown hair was now down to the middle of her back, but was held high on her head with the purple band her friends had made for her in the Spirit World. She was a lot taller, still scrawny, but she'd gained weight.

Chihiro looked Haku over. His hair looked as it did the last time she'd seen him. He was taller, and looked leaner, more muscular. Not that he wasn't lean or muscular the last time she had seen him. His jade green eyes were no longer dead and cold, they were filled with emotion.

"Oh, come on. Make with the hugs so we can get back to shopping, already!!" Martha and Lucy laughed.

Chihiro heard someone calling out Haku's name. "I think someone is looking for you." She nodded towards a tall woman, who was loaded up with shopping bags. Then she smiled. "I'll see you around, hopefully."

Haku took her hand for a moment, then let go and ran off to help the woman with the bags.

Chihiro was still smiling after him, but then she frowned. There were so many questions she needed to ask. Like, how did he find a way out of the Spirit World? She thought, since apartments were built over his river ages ago, he had no place in the Human World. Her world. How was he free from Yu-Baba's (Help me out here, did I spell it right?) contract? She supposed she would just have to wait until her next meeting with him.

Nelisa: I honestly thought I could have made their meeting after 6 years a little more interesting. Yeah, I know, I should have made them hug or.. Or kiss.. Or something. But, everyone does that already. I just thought I should make it different. It sucks, I know. And I didn't want to make Chihiro beautiful, because you'd be expecting that, wouldn't you? But she is beautiful in Haku's eyes!

Lucy: Chihiro is lucky, I guess. But I think Haku should get a haircut, and spikey hair! What does everyone else think?

Martha: I think so too. I also think I should get a bigger role.

Nelisa: Of course you do, Martha, of course you do. Please review, all!
