need help for a fic...

[sonjajade]

I started a fic thinking Riza had shipped Hayate off somewhere safe before the promised day, only to realize later that she doesn't.  And since I don't own the series, could someone tell me if they know when (if any time) she leaves him behind? And with whom if she does?  Or is he there the whole time or what?  Kinda a big deal in this story to know those details.  (Guess I coudl always write in the notes that this is a teensy bit AU, but I still wanna know)

Much appreciation if you know these things!!
