He realizes that he's hungry and decides to order takeout. He begins to make phone calls to restaurants but they are either closed or don't deliver that early. He dials numbers frantically and reaches the Goddess helpline. A voice tells him that she will be right there for a consultation. Keiichi tries to explain his errorbut as he's trying to get an answer he hears a voice behind him. Keiichi turns around to find himself face to face with Belldandy, who is coming out of the mirror. She introduces herself as a goddess, and tells Keiichi that she helps people in distress. Keiichi replies that he wasn't in distress he was only trying to order takeout. Belldandy explains that she can grant him one wish, Keiichi believes this to be a trick from his sempai, because he can't get a girlfriend. As if reading his thoughts Belldandy asks him why he doesn't have a girlfriend. Keiichi explains that he's short, but Belldandy doesn't understand. He then wishes for Belldandy to stay with him forever. In a giant flash Belldandy tells himt hat his wish has been approved and that she will stay with him.

Keiichi panics, because this is a Mens dorm, and women arn't allowed, but Belldand assures him that it will be alright because once a contract is made the Ultimate Force beings to work. Just then the men wholive in the dorm come home and find Keiichi with Belldandy, and they throw them out. The two of them set off to find a new place to live, but all of Keiichi's friends turn them away. Sitting in a park Keiichi asks Belldandy why she came to him, there have to be a lot of people who want their wishes fulfilled. Belldandy explains that not everyone can have their wishes fulfilled, they have to have certain qualifications and pass an assessment. He also asks if a contract can be broken, and if she would leave him. Belldandy asnwers that she doesn't know, but as long as he needs her she will stay. She then gets up and starts giving Keiichi directions on where to go. As they are speeding around a bend they almost collide with a car, Belldandy uses her powersto save them. With her last breath she gives Keiichi directions to a temple and passes out.

Keiichi carries Belldandy inside and covers her with a blanket and then passes out himse.f Belldandy wakes up and finds Keiichi laying on the floor next to her with a fever. She uses her powers to heal him and covers him with a blanket. She heads outside and uses her magic to return the temple to the way it once was. Keiichi wakes up and Belldandy lets him know that she has received permission for them to use the temple, and they head out to buy supplies. When they return Keiichi realizes that he won't get anymore money for a week, but Belldandy assures him that good news is coming. Belldandy goes to make tea, Keiichi rises to help her but he trips and falls ontop of her. There is a sudden knock on the door as Keiichi's sister Morisato Megumi walks in on them.

Megumi tells Keiichi that she will be attending school and needs a place to stay while she finds an apartment. She decides she will stay with them and gives Keiichi about $400 as living expenses. Then all the men from his dorm show up, including his sempai, Toraichi Tamiya, and his assistant, Otaki Aoyama. Tamiya roughs Keiichi up, chastising him for having 2 girls, but Keiichi explains that Megumi is his sister.

Midsummer Night's Dream

Its been 5 months since Belldandy showed up and everything is wonderful. Megumi comes over for dinner and asks Keiichi what he's doing for the summer vacation, she recommends that they take a trip to the ocean (even though Keiichi can't swim). Megumi also hands Keiichi a package that just came.

The three of them discuss the ocean and Belldandy mentions that she'd love to go. They clean up, Megumi heads home and Belldandy goes shopping. Keiichi opens his package and finds a risque video inside, believing it to be from Tamiya he watches it while everyone is out. As he is watching, pressed against the TV, a footcomes out of TV and kicks Keiichi across the room, Urd them emerges from the TV. Urd tells Keiichi that he needs to make a move on Belldandy. Urd leans in very close and is very flirtatious, this makes Keiichi very nervous. Just then Belldandy comes home and Urd makes her sudden departure telling Keiichi not to tell her younger sister that she was there.

Belldandy and Keiichi head to the ocean for a vacation, while sitting on the beach waiting for Belldandy to come, Keiichi feels hands cover his eyes and a voice say "guess whooo". He is petrified when he turns around to see Urd behind him. Urd gives him a bottle of sunscreen to use on Belldandy to make her all "mellow-mellow", again Urd disappears quickly before Belldandy knows she's around. Keiichi attempts to put the lotion on Belldandy when he is startled from behindby a girl, Mishima Sayoko. Aoshima reaches out and tries to take Belldandy on the boat with them away from Keiichi, but Keiichi reaches out to stop them worried about the "Ultimate Force", but nothing happens. They all walk away and Keiichi realizes that the lotion has all spilled into the sand.

Belldandy and Keiichi take a rowboat out into the ocean and Belldandy tells Keiichi that her older sister is in charge of System maintenance, and that when they return she will ask her about the malfunctions. Belldandy stands up to help row and a sudden wave tosses her off balence and she falls into Keiichi's lap. Just as they are about to kiss their rowboat is over turned by Sayoko's boat. Belldandy realizes that Keiichi didn't surface and dives down to rescue him.

Back at the hotel Belldandy remembers that Sayoko smacked her and blamed her for Keiichi almost drowning. Keiichi wakes up and asks Belldandy why she's crying. Belldandy is too afraid to ask Keiichi if he wants her to leave him and runs out of the room to get ice. Urd appears and tells Keiichi that Belldandy is crying because he doesn't have enough love for her. Urd then gives Keiichi a magic potion to "help" him with Belldandy, this potions turns out to make Keiichi fall in love with whomever he sees first.

After he drinks it there is a knock at the door, only it is Sayoko not Belldandy. Keiichi cannot control his actions he professes love for Sayoko, while in his mind trying to stop himself. Belldandy overhears him and is heart broken. Keiichi fighting against his actions screams clutching his head and runs out of the hotel, with Belldandy chasing after him. Belldandy stops him from running into the ocean, pleading with him that she will leave if he wishes. Keiichi still unable to control himself screams and passes out, dropping the vial that Urd gave him. Belldandy sees the vial and knows that its from her sister, Urd. Infuriated she calls for Urd to show herself. Sheepishly Urd appears, and Belldandy demands that Urd return Keiichi to normal. Urd refuses saying that he should stay that way for being so shy, Belldandy turns on Urd and attacks her. Urd then tells Belldandy that there isn't a cure, she didn't fore see him seeing someone else first. Belldandy begs Keiichi to come back to her and kisses him. The kiss breaks the spell that Urd put over him and he wakes up. Belldandy appologizes for her sister, and Keiichi once again reassures her that she is not a bother and they embrace. Urd tries to leave and is struck by lightening. There is a decree from the Lord that says because of Urds tampering with the system she is forbidden to return to Heaven. They realize this means the Urd is going to come and live with them.


Burning Hearts On The Road

It begins with Skuld chasing a bug around with a hammer in Heaven. She smashes it, but her celebration is short lived as she sees several more hopping around infront of her.

Keiichi is sitting on his porch surrounded by parts. He had drawn straws to be the race driver int he intercollegate race, his club ended up dumping the whole project on him.

Urd watches Belldandy bake. She tries to help as Belldandy makes a cake, but is impatient and ends up using her powers and the bowl explodes all over her and the wall. She moves on to find Keiichi attempting to put the bike together. Urd offers her help but Keiichi turns her down, insulted Urd uses her magic anyway frying the both of them. As Megmi runs up Keiichi gets discouraged because he has to redo most of what he just completed and goes to take a bath.

During the bath the water begins to bubble strangely and out pops Skuld. Not knowing who Keiichi is Kuld is startled and whacks him on the head with her hammer. Urd and Belldandy run to see what the commotion is and find Skuld wondering about an unconcious drowning Keiichi.

Skuld begrudgingly appologizes to Keiichi as Belldandy brings out tea and cake. Belldandy and Keiichi have a coy conversation and this infuriates Skuld, who lashes out at Keiichi and then breaks down crying. Keiichi and Megumi excuse themselves to continue working on the bike and Belldandy tries to talk to Skuld. Skuld just gets more upset and runs off crying. Belldandy follows her and Skuld pleads with Belldandy to return to Heaven, and that the contract is strange. She tells Belldandy that she's lonely and that a goddess shouldn't live like this with a human. Belldandy tells her that the contract is not the only reason she stays, as long as Keiichi wants Belldandy by his side she will stay.

As Megumi and Keiichi are working on the bike Tamiya and Aoyama show up with a gift, a twin engine. They debate on using it due to the stress on the frame and the handling of the bike. Up walks Aoshima and he belittles them on the race being tomorrow and they're still arguing over an engine. He reminds Tamiya of the "promise" he's made and presents Belldandy with a bouquet of flowers, gushing about her beauty. Aoshima makes an off hand comment about not allowing them to withdrawl from the races and walks away, leaving Keiichi very confused. Skuld meanwhile finds the blueprints for the bike and is upset with how messy it is, and how wrong the calculations are. She recalculates everything and then marvels at how beatuiful her own work is, Keiichi and Megumi look over her shoulder and are completely impressed with how much she got done and how much time she saved them. Skuld begins to imagine Keiichi and Belldandy being lovey together, this infurates her again and she snaps at Keiichi, yelling that she hates him storming off. Keiichi and Megumi using Skulds blueprints work all night on the bike. Skuld comes to talk to Keiichi, he thanks her for all the calculations that she did. Skuld asks him how he feels about Belldandy and he replies that because of Belldandy his life is full of happiness and she makes him feel as though they've known eachother since they were children.

The next day at the races Aoshima gloats that his team will win and he will be waiting for Belldandy in his club's house. Aoshima realizes that Belldandy and Keiichi were unaware of the bet he made with Tamiya and explains that they had agreed if Aoshima's team wins Belldandy will join his club, the Racing Club. She agrees, but assures Aoshima that the Auto Club won't lose. Skuld imagines that if Keiichi loses he'll dissolve the contract with Belldandy and she will return to Heaven with Skuld. Skuld sneaks in and tunes the Racing Clubs bike so that they start running unbelievable times. When Aoshima comes to taunt the Auto Club again Belldandy tells him that She'll never just give up, because the Goddess of victory doesn't smile on people like Aoshima who only think of winning. Keiichi agrees that with 3 goddesses, Belldandy, Urd, and now Skuld, how can he lose. This makes Skuld feel very guilty. When the finals come it is the Auto Club vs the Racing Club of Nekomi Tech. Belldandy cleans off Keiichi's mask and gives him a good luck kiss. She even guarantees its effectiveness ^_~

The race begins and just as it seems that the Racing Club will win a bomb on their engine goes off disabling their bike. Keiichi is able to win the race. AFter the race Urd, Belldandy and Skuld are walking around the fair and Belldandy sees a ring she likes. Keiichi goes to buy it for her, only to find that he has left his money in his jaket. Urd belittles him and Skuld says she really does hate him!

Evergreen Holy Night

Keiichi is having nightmares about Belldandy leaving him. He screams and wakes up to find Belldandy sitting by his side. He cannot bring himself to tell her what his dreams are about, so she leaves to get him some water.

The next morning, outside Skuld and Urd are having a not so normal snowball fight. Keiichi and Belldandy are confused about the amount of snow, so Keiichi goes to check the roads. He looks around and notices that the temple is the only place with snow. Keiichi climbs up and begins to shovel snow off the roof when something pops out of the snow. He loses balence and falls off the roof, but Belldandy uses her powers and saves him. The other two goddesses chastize him, when he says that it was something wierd. Skuld then spots the bug and chases it, as soon as she smashes it with her hammer, all the snow disappears.


Urd, Skuld, and Keiichi are sitting around the table discussing about how the bugs shouldn't be here when Keiichi's drink starts to boil, then the table vansishes, and Keiichi starts to attract metal things like a magnet. Skuld uses her bug attractor and it seems like a hundred bugs come from everywhere. Skuld uses her devices and discovers that the space between Belldandy and Keiichi is causing a bug portal. They must stay away from eachother! Just then the phone rings, Belldandy goes to get it and its the Lord. He gives Belldandy a recall notice, the gate will take three days to set up, at that time she will return to Heaven until this is solved.

Skuld tells Keiichi to stay away from Belldandy to keep the portal from forming. Rumors start around the University that Keiichi and Belldandy have broken up. Belldandy goes to the University just to be near Keiichi. They see eachother in the hallway and just as they get glose the window explodes all over Keiichi. Belldandy runs away. They see eachother again in the cafeteria where Belldandy tries to give Keiichi a thermos, but as she takes a step into the eating area the vending machine explodes. Belldandy drops the thermos and runs away. Megumi comes over to Keiichi and asks him if the rumors are true that he and Belldandy have broken up. Keiichi tells Megumi that Belldandy must go home in three days. Megumi advises Keiichi to tell Belldandy how he feels, tell Belldandy that he loves her, give her a prsent thats worth three months of pay! This inspires keiichi and he runs off looking for jobs. While at the Auto Club he gives a girl a note to give to Belldandy. She delivers the note to a very unhappy Belldandy sitting on a bench, and tells Belldandy to cheer up.

Skuld and Urd try to figure out how to stop the bug portal. They find that ta cherry tree in the temple yard has a powerful energy in it attracting the bugs. When they ask Belldandy about it she becomes terrified. Keiichi begs Belldandy to tell him what it is and steps closer to her. Each step causes things to explode around them, Belldandy becomes more terrified and turns, running inside.

For Love of Goddess

Skuld keeps Keiichi from Belldandy and Urd tries to call the Lord directly for an answer but is unable to get through. Urd decides to use an Ultimate Magic Circle to break the seal on the tree and stop the recall of Belldandy. Keiichi works all the jobs he can find, every free moment he has is taken up by miscellaneous jobs. Belldandy knits Keiichi a sweater and counts down the days.

Keiichi goes into a jewelry store and sees a ring. The ring envokes a strange memory, and he feels the urge to buy that ring for Belldandy. He continues working as many jobs as he can. He comes home late one night and Belldandy turns to run to see him, but stops herself. Urd goes into the hallway to find Keiichi asleep on the floor, she sighs at him and takes him to bed.

Keiichi has a dream about giving Belldandy the ring. His memory is slowly returning about their past. Morning comes and he runs out to another job, leaving a note for Belldandy.

Belldandy finally finishes the sweater for Keiichi and Skuld and Urd finish the calculations for the Ultimate Magic Circle. Belldandy begins to remove all of their stuff from the temple. She folds the sweater she made and lays it in Keiichi's room, then sits to wait the time until she has to go.

Keiichi finally has enough money to buy the ring. He runs to the shop early in the morning and bangs on the shop door, begging the lady to open. Even though they don't open until 10:00 the lady realizes its Christmas Eve and leans across the counter getting the ring for him. He gives her the money and runs out forgetting his change.

Belldandy walks out to see Urd and Skuld making the Ultimate Magic Circle. She tells them to stop, that what is happening is her sin and she must take the consequences. Keiichi runs up to the temple to give Belldandy the ring but things begin to explode as he draws near. The gate activates and begins to take Belldandy away. Keiichi pushes through the field to give her the ring. Keiichi says he remembers his promise, and Belldandy says she remembers hers. He tells her that she tried twice to keep her promise and thats why he must keep his. As Belldandy begins to ascent he fights to be with her. Belldandy begs the Lord to let her stay with Keiichi, even if it means giving up her powers and being banished from Heaven. Urd and Skuld finish the Ultimate Magic Circle and Urd begins the spell. There is a huge explosion of magic and a large blinding light. As the smoke clears everyone is laying on the ground. Belldandy runs to Keiichi and clutches him crying. Urd states that Keiichi is burried in his own psyche, Belldandy goes into his mnd to find him and bring him back, even though the dangers are severe.

Keiichi remembers his childhood, he followed a mysterious light and within the light there was a girl. It was Belldandy, they were very comfortable with eachother. Belldandy promised to meet him there the next day, but it was as binding as a contract which was forbidden for someone without their license. She was punished and her charge was to erase Keiichi's memory himself. Keiichi willingly allowed it promising that if he met her agian, he'd remember.

Keiichi wakes up and notices that the gate is gone. Suddenly a message from the Lord appears. Since Keiichi's memory has returned the recall notice has been invalidated, Urd's license is suspended for 30 days for unauthorized use of an Ultimate Magic Circle, and Skulds job has been modified to Surface World Trainee until the bug leakage is eliminated. Keiichi is finally able to keep his promise, he remembers Belldandy and gives her the ring, which is what he was going to give her when they were children.
