t is a sad, murky and rainy looking day, Belldandy sits in her room, depressed
and sad. Keiichi outside prepares to open the door and be with Belldandy but Skuld
stope him and asks him "Don't you undertsand? You can't see her" and reminds him of
the shield she put up to keep them away. Keiichi walks away into the living room.
Urd asks Keiichi about this "Recall Notice" but Keiichi can't give her a straight
answer, he can only tell Skuld and Urd about what Belldandy told him, which wasn't
very much. Urd decides to call the Lord himself and asks what's going on, she tries to
connect to the Office but can't. Keiichi's hopes fading now, he leaves the room. He
heads to the door of the room Belldandy is in and he apologizes for the harsh things he
said (back near the end of Evergreen Holy Night) and Belldandy runs
to the door from her side to try to get closer, Keiichi tells her that he'll wait for her,
whether she returns or not...........
Next morning, Keiichi prepares to go to work, after trying up his laces he gets on his bike and
drives off, Belldandy watches him drive away in the distance high above the temple, in the sky.
Meanwhile, Urd and Skuld are outside in the front by the huge Cherry Tree. Skuld tells Urd how
nice it will be that now she and Belldandy can return home (notice she didn't say Urd's name) But
Urd tells her that if you think that is a good thing, you are wrong because if this continues on,
then Belldandy will be depressed for the rest of her life, and she asks Skuld if that is what she
wants, Skuld fidjits with her fingers and says "No." Urd tells Skuld to help her with her plan to
shut off the energy source the bugs are using to cause a system imbalance (The Bugs power source here
is the Cherry tree). Skuld tells Urd that its not that simple and where is she going to get the power
to do that! Skuld gets a hint of what Urd is planning and knows that she is planning to use an
Ultimate Circle of Magic. Skuld tells Urd that it is a serious breaching of the rules but Urd tell her
that what they won't know, won't hurt them. She tells Skuld to hurry up with the calculations for the
exact point where the circle should be but Skuld tells her that those calculations take time but Urd butts
in and tells her that there's only 2 days left and they have to do something before the gate opens (to take
Belldandy back to the heavens).
Keiichi gets a list of jobs from Tamiya and Ootaki and writes them down into his daytimer. Since Keiichi
needs to get money fast so he can buy his girl a going away present he takes so many jobs! Keiichi gets
jobs from Tamiya and Ootaki like Window Washing high atop a skyscraper building, Directing Traffic, and
many others. Back at the Temple, Belldandy marks on the calender December 24th, only two days left.
She begins to knit the sweater she is making for Keiichi but stops and starts to weep.
Keiichi sits at a park bench and looks at his Daytimer and sees that he has 30 minutes left before the next
job (I've noticed that by looking at his daytimer and reading the numbers he is working a 20 hour day! His
final job begins at 17:00-20:00, which means he only gets about 4 hours of sleep!), Keiichi uses his 20 minutes
to go to a jewlery store and looks around, he sees a ring and his mind goes into deep thought, the ring he sees
snaps something in his mind and images start pouring into his mind. When Keiichi snaps out of the trance he tells
the store clerk that he's only looking for today, she greets him goodbye and Keiichi leaves the store.
Skuld is busy typiong out stuff on her computer with Urd by her side watching. Urd asks if it is going to OK but
Skuld sighs and tells her that considering the actual time it usually takes to make the circle they are cutting
corners. Belldandy walks in and asks what they are doing, they panic and Skuld franticly tries to shut off the screen
(because they don't want Belldandy to find out what they are doing) Urd goes to Belldandy and persudes her to go and
finish the sweater for Keiichi or she might not finish it in time, Belldandy agrees and leaves. Urd sighs and asks
Skuld what is wrong, Skuld tells her that she accidently pushed the thw wrong power button!! She accidently shut off
the computer!! Everything that wasn't backed up is GONE! Keiichi phones and Belldandy runs to the phone and answers it,
it's Keiichi. He tells her not to make supper for him because he'll be working late, he apologizes and tells her he'll see
her later and hangs up. Belldandy whispers "Take Care." She goes back to her room and starts knitting the sweater again.
Urd, who was watching her, see's how down she is and knows that this is tearing her apart, she fells sorry for her sister
and leaves.
Keiichi's next job is to deliver Pizza's for a pizza parler. Skuld is busy on her computer working out the calculations and
sustaining herslef by eating ice cream. Keiichi's final job is Construction Working and has to tear up the pavement with
Tamiya and Ootaki. The whistling of the kettle goes but Belldandy, too disturbed and deep in thought knitting her swearter for
Keiichi doesn't hear it and Urd tells her to get the kettle. Belldandy runs to the kitchen and takes it off the Stove. It is late
and Urd tells Belldandy to get some sleep. She hears something at the door and knows its Keiichi, come home from work She runs to
the kitchen door ready to open it and go and see Keiichi, but stops short of the door. Urd goes to the hall and sees Keiichi fallen
asleep on the doorsteps and she uses her magic to put Keiichi into bed, she uses Herbs and Spices and puts them into a pot and closes
the lid, the smell of the herbs and spices fills the room and is supposed to bring Keiichi back some of his stamina. In Keiichi's
dreams, he is dreaming of Belldandy, and things he did for her remind him of stuff in the past, as if he knew her since childhood.
Keiichi wakes up in the morning and holds his head in pain, Belldandy feels it and knows that Keiichi's memory is returning and hopes
it return before she leaves. She goes and opens the door to her room and finds a letter to her from Keiichi, the letter reads:"Tomorrow,
I'll be sure to give it to you, so wait until then, I swear I'll bring it to you......."
One day left, Belldandy finishes knitting her sweater for Keiichi and smiles a weak but happy one. Skuld prints out the stuff and if finally
finished! Next to her left side are about 100 Ice Cream Cups!! Belldandy begins to erase any trace of her in the house, that includes cups,
gifts, letters, and pictures. Outside, Urd uses her magic to prepares to use her magic to make the base of the Ultimate Circle of Magic.
Belldandy looks at the pictures she has of them and memories start flooding in, she begins to.........erase herself from any and all pictures of
her and Keiichi(it was so sad, i was ready to cry!). She then leaves the sweater in his room on the desk as a going away Christmas Present. She
looks up at the clock......only 20 minutes left.
Keiichi finishes his job and runs to the jewlery shop to buy her that ring! The knocks on the window and the store keeper tells him that the store
opens in 10 minutes, Keiichi rushes in and asks her if he may be able to get him that ring, she says it is okay since it is Christmas Eve and time is
running out. Thr ring price comes to 59,740 Yen plus tax(Yen is the name for Japanese money and currently the Yen is about the same amount as the dollar).
Keiichi slaps down the money and runs out of the store, he doesn't even wait for the change. It is time, Belldandy goes into the other room and transforms
her clothes into the ones she had at the very beginning when she met Keiichi only, this time, the color of it is not blue, but pinkish-purple. She goes
outseid and sees Skuld and Urd, she looks at what they are doing at asks why they have made such a thing! Why have they made an Ultimate Magic Circle of
Warding! Urd tells her, it's for her and Keiichi's sake, Belldandy tells Urd that they will be severly punished! She prepares to for the gate3way to open to
take her home but stops when she hears Keiichi calling her name, they run to each other but a powerful force stops them and blows the shingles off the temple!
The gateway then opens and starts lifting Belldandy off the ground back into heaven. Keiichi puts his hand through the gateway and he gets zapped by the
energy, nonetheless he keeps his arm through and reaches for Belldandy's hand as she reaches for his. Nearly touching the energy blows Keiichi back but he
gets up and sticks his arm through the gate again and tells Belldandy that there's something he has to give to her, he promised, and holds the ring in the palm
of his hand, he tells her:"I didn't forget, I remembered. Finally, I can give it to you. I can finally fulfill the promise I made to you." Belldandy gasps
and replies:"I haven't forgotten either. I promised you, I promised you twice....." But Keiichi tells her "You tries to keep your promises with all your heart.
That's why......I've got to keep MY Promise!" As he finishes saying that the gate lifts Belldandy higher off the ground, Keiichi tries to give her the ring but
the gate pushes him away again! Belldandy looks to the heavens and tells the Lord that she loves Keiichi so much that she would be willing to give up her Goddess
qualification and would even accept banishment from the heavens if she could just stay by Keiichi's side!! Skuld finishes drawing the circle and tells Urd it is
done as Urd begins to chat a spell activating the circle to seal the power away thats attracting the bugs. A large explosion follows and a blinding flash of light!
Urd wakes up first and looks to Skuld who is stunned and very dizzy, Belldandy wakes up and in the background Urd is slapping Skuld trying to wake her up. Belldandy
runs to Keiichi who is lying on the ground, face down. She holds him in her arms and believing to be dead, screams NO!! Belldandy starts to cry
and Skuld asks Urd is he is dead, Urd says no, he's still breathing but his psyche is buried deep in his thoughts, if this continues, than he won't be considered to be alive.
Belldasndy says that she'll go into his thoughts and bring him back. She touches her forehead to his and we
enter the mind of Keiichi Morisato.
Keiichi mind is set in childhood, when he was young, he saw a light in the forest to the north, he heads there and from the light sees a young girl, she introduces herslef as
Belldandy and wonders why he saw the light, humans shouldn't be able to see the light unless they are friends of nature. The two of them quickly become good friends and played
with each other for the week that Belldandy was there. Then Belldandy sees a ring and wants it but Keiichi doesnt have enough money, he tells her to meet him tomorrow cuz he
wants to give her something, he "Pinky Swear" on it and Keiichi goes home, but being an unlicensed goddess, Belldandy is not allowed to make promises, so her punishment was
to erase herself from Keiichi's mind and memory herself. Keiichi heard that if she didn't then she would be.........eliminated.......for violating the rules. So Keiichi
let her. Keiichi promised that he would remember if they met again but Belldandy couldn't promise that, but she did promise that if she recieved her qualification that she would
return. After succesfully bringing Keiichi out of his deep thoughts, he awakes. Belldandy tells him that the gate disappeared but will be back soon. The sky turns pink and
a beam of light falls behind them. Urd goes to read it and finds that the problem ahs benn solved so Belldandy can remain here with Keiichi to continue the contract, Belldandy
and Keiichi are overjoyed and she crys into Keiichi's arms. Urd continues reading the message, she finds that her license has been suspended for 30 days due to her unauthorized
usage of the Ultimate Magic Circle of Warding(Urd is not happy) and Skuld remains on earth until she gets rid of all the bugs that leaked out of the portal. Keiichi picks up the
ring from the ground and holds Belldandy's arm in his hand and puts the ring on. Belldandy rubs her hand against her face and thanks Keiichi and much to his surprise, she then
Kisses him on the cheek and says, "Merry Christmas."
