Summary: It's been five years since Himeno, the Prétear defeated Takako, the Princess of Disaster. Everyone moved on, happy with their lives...or so it would seem.

Knights' Trouble And Snow From The Past

A stressed out looking man sighed. He had fired the Knight of Wind, because the messenger service in the city was going out of business.

"What? You can't fire me; I'm your best messenger!" Hayate exclaimed. His hair was shorter and his blue eyes seemed to have a tired look in them.

"We're sorry, but we have to lay off a lot of people..." The boss tried to explain.

"Hmph." The former Knight of Wind left. Even though he still retained his control over the wind, he had stopped using his power. What was the point, if he didn't need to? Or rather, he thought he didn't need

Mannen, the Leafe Knight of Ice, was going to high school. He still used his power, but only to show off for girls. Being more stubborn then ever, he got into many fights.

"Mannen, you've gotta stop fooling around!" Goh said. He seemed stressed out, and sometimes couldn't control his powers. If you turned on the news, there would be reports of unexplained wildfires.

"I'm not fooling around! They picked a fight with me!"

"I don't have time to argue with you." Goh replied and grabbed Mannen's arm, but he slapped his arm away.

"You're not my father!"

Hajime went to the same school as Mannen, and was on the swim team. His attitude had changed in the past few years; he had been acting cold towards everyone.

Sasame's 'Words Gate' program was cancelled, which upset many others. Despite its popularity, it still stopped airing.

Shin had mysteriously disappeared. No one had heard from the young boy. He was last seen in Leafeania, heading deep into the forest.

Kei had been busy with his internet company and barely went to Leafeania to see the other Knights.

Mayune and Mawata went to Europe as foreign exchange students.

And what of the former Prétear?

Awayuki Himeno was in bed, the covers over her pinkish red hair, her eyes opened as the sun hit the room.

"Unh..." She groaned and then stretched, yawning at the same time.

"Good morning Ms. Awayuki." The servants said and brought her breakfast.

After finishing her meal, Himeno went outside to the garden; the sound of birds was absent.

"The tulips have bloomed...the tulips have bloomed..." She sang quietly as she watered her large garden.

Snow started falling...red snow.

Himeno looked up. The snow landed softly on her face.

"No...It couldn't be..."

TBC...
