3rd Person POV

[Third and Sixth just looked at each other not saying a word. Third broke the silence]

Third: How are you here? I was told you were dead.

Sixth: Your parents saw how torn up you were after I was proclaimed dead. They kept me that way even though I survived to protect your sanity. They needed an heir and losing their best bet was not an option.

Miku: You said something about being betrothed? You can't be if you're related.

Sixth: I'm not related to Third. I never was. His father had an affair with my mother. My mother died when I was young so they took me in. My mother was promised to still inherit his father's fortune. An arrange marriage was set up. We would marry and both of our families would prosper. Now that I'm here, I'm going to take back what is rightfully mine.

Ichika: Third belongs to no one.

Sixth: He belongs to me. I was promised a husband.

Third: Your mother died though. That means the promise is off.

Sixth: That was your father's secret plan and I didn't know it at the time. With me dead, the promise would be void. But I'm alive so the promise still stands.

Itsuki: You can't just come here in the competition so late! He promised to marry us!

Nino: If you knew about the promise, then why did you let him promise to marry us.

Sixth: I recently found out about the promise. I didn't know it back then.

[Third just stared at Sixth]

Sixth: What's that look for?

Third: The way you are behaving, this isn't the Sixth I know.

Sixth: How else do you expect me to act when I finally get a chance to take back what was mine.

Yotsuba: You could've been nicer about it.

Sixth: I'm sorry that I came across aggressively but I saw that he was going to propose to all five of you. I wasn't going to let my chance slip by.

[Third just lowers his head]

Miku: Are you okay, Third?

Third: Not really. This is a lot to take in.

Sixth: Come with me, Third, and we can catch up.

Nino: We won't let you!

Third: Let me do this, girls. I need to know what's going on.

[Sixth leads Third away]

Nino: We can't just let her take him away from us!

Ichika: What are we going to do?

Yotsuba: It's like the author has no idea how to end this story.

[The sisters look at Yotsuba]

Yotsuba: What?

Miku: Be happy we're rich.

Nino: What are we going to do? I was promised a husband and I'm not going to let that be taken from me.

Ichika: I guess we just have a late comer to the game.

Miku: So not fair.

Itsuki: No matter. I expect him to still properly propose like our father asked and we'll handle the situation.

Yotsuba: I didn't see any ring on that hand!

Ichika: That's right! He still has a chance to be ours!

[Sixth and Third continued to talk. This was too much for him to take and while they were talking he passed out. Sixth called for help and he was taken to the hospital. Everyone went to see him]

Miku: I guess the info was too much for him.

[Sixth was at his bedside with tears flowing down her face]

Sixth: I'm so sorry, Third. This isn't what I wanted to happen. I should've handled this situation better.

[Miku placed her hand on Sixth's shoulder]

Miku: You're late to the game but a player nonetheless. Just know that I'm going to win.

Sixth: (Smiles) I'm not going down without a fight. I was promised you know?

Miku: So were we. But let me be clear, you hurt him or my sisters, you deal with me.

Sixth: That isn't much of a threat. You're not that athletic.

Miku: True but I have a skill that none of my sisters have.

Sixth: Do you think I don't know what it is? You don't scare me.

Miku: Well, it's like you said. I'm not going down without a fight.

Sixth: You're on.

[Sixth prepared to get into the bed with Third]

Itsuki: What do you think you're doing?

Sixth: Sleeping with my fiancé!

Itsuki: He needs to rest and not be bothered.

Ichika: I guess that means only one of us can be in here.

[The girls looked at each other. As if on instinct, they began a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors]

Future ??? POV

[I won the game and moved a chair next to Third's bedside. I placed my hand on his. This was a lot to take in. It all happened so fast. Looking back though, this was the moment that I was determined to win more than ever. The good news? I won. The battle wasn't offer after this but this was the defining moment that made me determined enough to win it all. I look over and see Third walking over]

Third: What are you thinking about, honey?

???: That night when your sister came back and you went to the hospital.

Third: That was a crazy night. Well, it all worked out in the end. Didn't it?

???: It sure did. I've won after all.

Third: Well...

[A door opens behinds us and in walk four other girls]

Third: She's okay. I'm taking care of her. You have nothing to worry about.

[The four shadows leave the room and the door shuts]

???: Now, since we're married and you're here. Let's have some fun.

Third: It's going to be a long night isn't it?

???: Just don't make too much noise.
