A week had passed since Hawk had his accident. The Amazon Trio had left the Dead Moon Circus for good. Rae had offered the Trio to stay at the temple until they were able to get their own place. Lita went to the temple every day; not just to go to study buddies, but to see her real prince charming.

It was another cool sunny fall day in Tokyo. That day, the five sailors and the trio were at the temple like most usual days. Rae was standing on the stairs to her room with a broom in her hands. Tigers Eye, Fish Eye, Ami and Mina were playing a game of scrabble, and Rini and Serena were observing. As for Lita and Hawks Eye, they had just came back from a walk around the temple grounds. Hawk was still too weak to go to the park. They came over to where the others were sitting. Lita helped Hawk gently sit down, so he wouldn’t aggravate his wound. Lita sat down next to him and put her arm around his. The watched the scrabble game as well.
“Ha,” said Tigers Eye. “Triple word score! I’m going to win now!”
“Sure you are,” said Hawk. “You never win anything.”
“Hey, be quiet you!”
“Will you too stop arguing!” yelled Fish. Everyone laughed. “Can we get through one day without the two of you fighting?”
“Well, he started it,” said Tiger.
“You asked for it,” said Hawk.
Fish moaned and put down a word.
Serena leaned over Mina’s shoulder. “Are you guys almost done? I want to play.” Rini giggled. “What’s so funny,” asked Serena, hands on her hips.
“Scrabble is too difficult for you. The only word you can spell is ‘flunk’,” answered Rini.
“Why you! Come here!” Serena started chasing Rini around. Everyone laughed.
“Well, you have Hawk and Tiger, we have Serena and Rini,” Rae said to Fish.
Lita laughed and looked up at Hawk. He smiled. “I’m so happy we have each other,” she said.
They kissed each other for a second. “Yes,” said Hawks Eye, “and I truly love you. And I always will.”
