-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Max and Monica: two youths who were chosen by the Atlamillia. Together, they defeated the evil that spawned within the darkness of Emperor Griffon's heart. They vanquished the Dark Element's force, and with the help of Sirius, prevented the Star of Oblivion from destroying their world.

Now, Monica must return to her own time. There are still things to do, a kingdom to rule. She is a princess after all. Before she leaves, she reminiscences all the adventures she had, together with Max.

She remembers the time in Sindain, where they first met. She had first disguised herself as a child who stole Max's circus ticket, in order to test him.

-------------------------

She thinks about the time she dueled with Gaspard, her father's killer, on his airship. She who was knocked unconscious because she was distracted, and was defeated. Although near unconscious, she could hear Max's desperate voice as the airship falls down the mountain's mouth.

She remembers him coming to her rescue. How he became unusually angry to know that she was hurt by Gaspard.

She remembers the two of them, her and Max, at the end of the duel, feeling sad for her father's killer. She afterwards vowed to make herself stronger than before, to repay Max for his deeds on that mountain.

-------------------------

Sheremembers him playing many Spheda games, catching tons of fishes to gain medals. First she thought he wanted some cool prize. But she was surprised that he used the medals to buy her the panther bikini.

She remembers that one special moment they had together, when they relaxed by swimming in the Vennicio Ocean as they wait for Ixion's completion. Max suggested the idea, after winning the bikini for her. She blushed, and was a little miffed that he was probably thinking of seeing her in a bikini. He was a guy after all.

-------------------------

She remembers the time they even slept together. Nothing serious, of course. She blushed just thinking about it. Monica was training until midnight then. She was determined to get stronger, so she won't need Max's help in the future, so she won't repeat what happened with Gaspard. She was too tired to walk, so Max had to carry her piggy-back. He sets her on his own bed, and decides he would sleep elsewhere. But it was late, and very much after his usual bedtime. He felt so sleepy, he instantly became unconcious beside Monica. She remembers waking in the morning, with Max at her side. How she turned completely red as his face got closer to hers.

She remembers leaving immediately, and decided not to tell Max he slept so close to her.

-------------------------

Those where the good times. But now, she needs to leave, for her own time. For if she doesn't, a big distortion could appear, since she was no longer hold in check by her Atlamillia. She regrets nothing. She was happy in Max's time, but leaving was for everyone's sake. She knows that it was for the best. And so, together with Paznos and Max's mother, she bided goodbye.

But unlike Monica, Max doesn't think so. He didn't want her to leave.

"Why? Why didn't I want her to leave? Something in my chest is so tight...Monica..."
