Well that was more than I was expecting. This will be quite an obstacle for them to overcome, in fact they may not overcome it. Still, before we start singing praises for Hayate x Athena we have to get Athena's side of things. If she decided that pursuing the stones is more important then she may completely break his heart the next time they meet. Even if she were to be more accepting later, if she turns him down cruelly anytime soon then Hayate will be crushed. Then it will be up to one of the other girls to step in and help him.

I think that it may be good if for the next arc or two Hayate is openly pursuing a girl (in this case Athena). That way all of the other girls can step up and actually develop some kind of relationship with him. If you look at things in general terms, the poor butler doesn't really have many friends...Wataru, Sakuya (kind of), Isumi (don't see each other much), Nagi (different case all together), Maria (more professional), the student council trio (barely), and Hinagiku (complicated).

If Hayate ties to hook up with Athena then the others will get a chance to help him or get closer to him in some way. Hina and Maria may try to provide advice, Isumi and Watau may get dragged in at some point, and I don't even want to know what Nagi will do when she finds out. But I see Hina or Maria (being in the 'strike zone' themselves) as becoming a lot closer to him in the upcoming chapters. They will probably talk to Hayate about his feelings for Athena, how he plans to tell her, and just being a good close friend and confidante. That way if (when, I hope) Athena turns him down or chooses the stones over their relationship he can turn to one of them for comfort and maybe he can start to develop more romantic feelings towards one of them. Hell, to really spice things up, actually introduce another guy character and see how Hayate likes Hina or Maria or somebody dating the new guy. The way I see it this new plot line has tons of possibilities for crazy antics, misunderstandings, and general chaos, more so than the original plot! Hata-sensei, you're a genius!
