"What do you mean we have to go to Leafenia?" Mannen screamed. "We haven't seen the red snow in a long time. Why should we start worrying now?"

"Look Mannen," Kei said coolly "We have to go talk to the knights in Leafenia about this. We just started repopulating and you swore to protect any pretear we worked with. Have you forgotten that?"

"Humph! Well I still don't understand why I have to go. You're not making Shin and Hajime" Mannen shouted

"I already told you, Shin wouldn't be able to handle something that boring and no one could babysit." Gou shouted

"Hey guys, why are you all shouting?" Himeno asked

"We have to go to a congress meeting in Leafenia, Hajime is babysitting Shin so they won't be bored to death, buy I have to go with them! It's not fair!" Mannen complained.

"Hayate, why didn't you ask me to babysit? Here in America, they celebrate a day called Labor Day."

"We didn't know, or we would have asked you. We'll take Hajime with us. Are you sure you don't mind Himeno?

"Yeah. It'll give me a chance to practice. Hey! Why don't I go with you and practice near the forest?

"Now there's an idea." Sesame said "Himeno and Shin will be able to see us from there. That way they can get ready to go when they see us leave the building."

They got Shin and Hajime and went to the gorgeous land of Leafenia. The grass was always green and there were always flowers. Unless you went into the forest. Deep in the forest is where Takako had been held while she was evil, and she had sucked all of the Leafe out of the area, so it was a little spooky. Kei, Sesame, Gou, Hayate, Hajime, and Mannen headed toward an official looking building.

Himeno preted with Shin and practiced for a while. She only hit things that looked dead as her targets. She didn't want to kill anything in Leafenia because it was to beautiful. They practiced for about an hour, then found a resting place under a big tree. Himeno had brought food, knowing that Shin became hungry often.

As they were eating their apples, Himeno heard a huff, huff, huff sound. Looking behind her she saw Hajime. "Himeno! The governor doesn't believe us! He says that only the pretear would make him listen! Please come!" he looked kind of desperate

Himeno carried Shin, since he was asleep. When they got inside the building, Himeno handed Shin to Hayate. Then she turned to face the governor.

"Name." He had a brisk voice, but he shouted.

"My name is Himeno Awayuki. I am the pretear"

"Hmm. Miss Awayuki is it true that you saw a demon? And that you saw the red snow?

"Yes" She said firmly.

"I see. Miss Awayuki, could you prove to us that you are the pretear? All you have to do is pret with one of these knights."

Himeno looked around. None of the Knights looked eager to pret with her. "Guys, will someone please pret with me?"

"Himeno," Sesame asked, " can we talk to you over there?"

They all went to a far corner of the room. "Himeno, why are you trying to prove yourself. They think you're a spy, and they think this is a prank. We know what we saw." Sesame said.

"I'm sorry. I guess I wanted to prove so bad that I was the pretear I never considered…"

"It's alright." Kei said "No harm done."

"Miss Awayuki, we're waiting. You need to pret with one of these wonderful knights."

Himeno and the knights started to walk out of the building when the oldest of the committee stood. If you weren't in the room, you could tell that he was a very important person by the way he looked. He was very solemn and wore a black suit. He had the air of a person who was very strict.

At this point, Himeno wished she hadn't destroyed the tape that Andrea had made. Oh well, Himeno thought, I don't have to prove anything to them. Kei is right. We know what we saw.

"Miss Awayuki, we're waiting. We need you to pret with one of these wonderful knights so that we know you're not a spy or someone wishing to destroy Leafenia." As he said this, he had an annoying smirk on his face.

Himeno was pretty angry at this point. "I don't need to prove anything to you! I'm tired of playing this game! All my life I've been ignored and treated as if I were an object! Well no more! If you don't believe me, then fine! But I know what I saw!"

Before anything else had been said, Himeno stormed out of the building. "Come on guys. Let's go home. We'll have to deal with this on our own."

The Doorway Of Light opened, leading them back to earth. Himeno suddenly felt weak. As if she had suddenly gotten of a really fast, scary roller coaster. She fell to the ground overpowered by her old sensation of the demon larva. Only this time, it was about ten times stronger.

She collapsed from the sensation. When she awoke, she was on her bed. All the knights looking down on her with worried expressions.

"What happened? Where am I?" and looking at the knights she said "And who are you?"
