But, of course, Himeno needed to face reality. She needed to prepare herself for the battle with Andrea. It was going to be an all or nothing.

She got her power from the knights pronto. She was going to fight until the end, switching with knights as she needed to. The battle was only a day away. Unfortunately, it was the same day her dad decided to bond with her.

"So Himeno, what would you like to do today? It's your day to do whatever you want, my little princess."

"Uh…that's great dad, but I really need to train with Hayate. You see this girl kind of challenged me to a fight-to-the-death battle, and I really need to be on top."

"No. That is the one thing we can't do. You and I are going to spend all day together if it kills us!" He pulled her to the car and dragged her off to the lake. "Now," he said when they got there, "we are going to fish for a while." he pulled out the fishing lines and the small cup that held the bait.

Himeno had no choice. All day she was forced to sit at the lake with her father. She was so angry that she wouldn't talk to him period. She didn't even answer his questions with a yes or a no.

Finally, as they decided to pack up, Andrea decided to appear. "Hello Himeno. Are you ready for our little showdown?"

"As ready as I'll ever be!" Himeno hoped with all her heart that the knights would appear. To her surprise, Andrea showed Himeno a picture of the knights. They were all chained against a stone wall. It looked like a dungeon from one of the old movies. They all looked sad, helpless.

Himeno looked at it for a moment. "No. It can't be. The knights would never be trapped or caught that easily. IT CAN'T HAPPEN!" she broke Andrea's concentration.

Andrea wouldn't admit it, but it had been a trick to get Himeno to forfeit the match for the safety of her friends.

Himeno stood tall. Andrea noticed that she wasn't exactly in her normal clothes. She was in a pink puffy dress. On her head was a small tiara and on her feet, small delicate pink boots. Her face had a much more serious look than Andrea had ever known.

"Fine, Andrea. You want a fight. I'll give you a fight." Her voice was gentle, but her face never sifted. She mustered up all of her energy. Calmly she put her fingers to her lips and fired a sonic arrow.

Andrea never suspected it. She was blown away by the arrow, but suddenly held her ground. She fired an attack, not knowing what it was. Instinctively, Himeno made a shield to protect herself. Andrea had a little trick up her sleeve, however.

Next Himeno used the ice cannon and fired a huge snowball at Andrea. Andrea, expecting something this time, also made a shield. She did this by summoning up Hayate and making him take the hit.

After Himeno realized what she'd done, she stopped attacking. She ran towards Hayate. She could tell that he was in pain. "Hayate! Are you all right? Hayate? Hayate, please answer me." She choked up with tears. "Hayate! Please, wake up! HAYATE!" At this Himeno started sobbing uncontrollably. Andrea towered over her.

"Well, I guess this is it for the great pretear. Goodbye Himeno. And I so looked forward to getting to know you." She held out her hand to deliver a blast that would kill Himeno, but Andrea took a second look at her. Himeno kissed Hayate gently on the lips, and with tears in her eyes, she said "You picked the wrong person to mess with, Andrea." She started to float above everything.

Himeno struck Andrea with a huge blast of leafe . Suddenly, Andrea seemed lighter than air. All of her jealousy, hurt, anger and power was being washed away by all the positive leafe.

When she looked up at Himeno again, her eyes seemed softer that Himeno had ever known. "I'm sorry, Himeno. I don't know what came over me. I guess I wanted to be so much like you, that I tried to take your power for myself."

"It's alright, Andrea. Don't blame yourself. My family was pretty jealous of me when I showed them who I really was. They understood why I never said anything and why I was never home all the time, but they still wanted to be able to pret and have some sort of power to save the world."

"Is it to late for us to be friends? I truly am sorry for the trouble I caused you." her eyes looked down in shame. She couldn't believe she'd acted like that. She was on the welcoming committee for new students and staff that came to the school.

"Sure it's possible." Himeno said. She was monitoring a conversation between Hayate and her father. Hayate was blushing and he looked extremely happy. So did her father.

"Uh…Himeno? May I ask you a question?" said Hayate when he got back.

"Of course Hayate. Whatever you want."

Hayate seemed extremely relieved. He bent down on one knee. Himeno's heart started to pound in her chest. It couldn't be the question-could it? "Himeno, we've known each other for a while now and I know that we both have developed feelings for one another, so would you-I mean…will you- w-will you marry me?" He held out a gorgeous ring. It had a small diamond in the middle of a heart.

"Oh Hayate. I-I don't know what to say other than…other than yes. I will marry you. As long as it's alright with my father." she turned to look at him.

"It's alright with me. That's what Hayate and I were discussing over there. When we were away from you."

Himeno was bursting with happiness. She was going to get married to the person that she loved most in the world besides her father and friends. And that's what happened a month later. Himeno and Hayate were officially married. They agreed not to have kids until Himeno was at least of age. If she wanted to go to college, then they would wait until after she finished to have kids.

Overall, Himeno and Hayate lived a good life together and with their friends. Himeno eventually graduated High School and decided to go to college. Himeno and Andrea wound up the best of friends. It was all good for everyone.
