Yay! I'm actually working on this story that I started forever ago and never really felt like continuing.

Chapter Two: False alarm?

Belldandy dropped her grocery bag. A surprised Keiichi and Urd gave her curious looks.

"Is something wrong sister?" Urd asked worriedly.

"I thought I heard someone call for me. I should return home!" Belldandy pulled out a mirror and traveled through it, not caring that people saw her or anything. She reappeared in the house through another mirror. "Skuld! Are you okay?" She entered Skuld's bedroom, labeled, Skuld Labs.

The 12-year-old goddess looked up from her machines with a surprised look on her face. "I'm fine. What's wrong Belldandy?"

"Oh…" Belldandy paused, seeing that everything was all right. "It must have just been my imagination then."

"BELLDANDY!!!" Keiichi and Urd burst through Skuld's room, panting.

"What was that about, Bell?" Keiichi tried to catch his breath.

Belldandy bowed to Keiichi. "I'm so sorry. I thought something was wrong but everything is normal."

Keiichi scratched his head. "It's okay. Just don't leave in such a hurry without telling us next time."

"I'm sorry, I will." Belldandy left Skuld's room and went into the kitchen to make dinner.

Keiichi went into the kitchen with Belldandy and Urd went to watch TV. Skuld dropped the machines she was working on and decided to try and help Belldandy. "Um… sis?"

Belldandy smiled at her sister and tightened her ponytail to make sure none of her hair got into the food. "Yes, Skuld?"

"Need any help with dinner?" Skuld put on an extra apron and washed her hands.

"That would be wonderful!" Belldandy smiled. In her mind she couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was wrong. Was it just her imagination that she felt that energy surge while they were shopping? Or was Mara up to something again?

"Hey K-boy!" Urd called from the living room.

Sighing, Keiichi dragged his feet into the living room. "What is it now, Urd?"

Urd laughed and winked at Keiichi. "I think you and Belldandy should spend some time together tonight by yourselves." She whispered so the two goddesses in the kitchen wouldn't hear them.

Blushing furiously, he stammered, "Y-you mean like a… a date?!"

"Shh!" Urd pressed a silencing finger to Keiichi's lips. "Of course that's what I mean." She gave him another encouraging wink and went to her room.

Dumbfounded, Keiichi sat on the floor. Of course he wanted to do something with Belldandy. But what would he say? What would he wear?! Of course there was also Skuld to be concerned about. Skuld would never allow Keiichi and Belldandy to go out alone and un-supervised. And what about Urd? She suddenly tells Keiichi to go on a date with Belldandy. That could only mean she was up to something sneaky. Keiichi's mind played several scenarios with Skuld or Urd interfering. But he wouldn't give up!

Determined flames caught fire in the background as Keiichi stood with his fist raised in the air. "I won't give up!"

"Keiichi? Give up on what?" Belldandy asked sweetly.

"Ack! N-nothing!" Keiichi blushed and looked away.

Belldandy wished Keiichi would tell her if something was wrong.
