The next morning, Danika wakes up to find Stolas is not next to her anymore and gets up, wondering where he is. She gets out of the bed and checks on her phone to see it's 8 am. Though her eyes widened in shock to see a text from... Asmodeus?! Since when did his contact get into her phone? Danika was about to question it when she deadpanned in realization that Bee must have secretly placed his contact into hers along with Fizzarolli's as she could guess correctly. She looks back down at the text that says:

You ready for our date? We'll be meeting you in front of your home. Fizz said that he's looking forward to seeing you again ~

Danika cursed, nearly forgetting that she's having a date with them today. She quickly ran to her room to change her clothes as she skimmed through her closet to find something nice and comfortable. Danika eventually found a perfect outfit that are star themed and put them on. She quickly ran through the hallway while putting on her shoes and holding onto her purse, transforming into an owl demon with her necklace on. She opened the door to see Stolas, still in his robe, out front on the phone with Stella, squeezing a servant in his other hand. Imps are loading items into a van.

"Yes, I know! It will be there, shortly." he assured her through the phone angrily. "Of course they're being careful!"

Looks like the divorce has been finalized already. Danika was about to call out when she saw a limo driving inside and stopping in front of Danika. Though Stolas barely acknowledged that as he was too busy shouting at Stella. The window was rolled down to reveal a concerned Asmodeus and Fizzarolli.

"Uh... Everything alright?" Asmodeus asked.

Danika went inside with them.

"It's fine. Dad and mom just got divorced and he's apparently packing her things right now." she assured them with a smile.

"Oh. Sorry you have to go through with that." Fizzarolli frowned.

"It's fine. It's bound to happen. Stella, my mom, was annoying anyways." Danika waved off.

"Alright then. We're heading to the Envy Ring for our official first date." Asmodeus said.

"Sorry if you guys have to go through the trouble of planning this date. This was Bee's idea." Danika said apologetically.

"Oh, believe me, I know. She's been doing this to us sins for years." Asmodeus assured her.

"Really?" she asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Even though we're secretly in a relationship, we were thinking about having a poly relationship." Fizzarolli explained.

"Oh! Well... I won't let you guys regret this." Danika said, blushing a bit.

Asmodeus smiled, nodding in agreement.

"Yes, we're in a secret relationship. And thanks, sweetie."

Fizzarolli smiled as well, nodding.

"Yeah, Bee's been bugging us about this for a while now. She's stubborn as hell."

Asmodeus chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"Ain't that the truth, darling. Bless her."

He looked over at Fizzarolli.

"Oh, and do try and be on your best behavior, Fizz."

Fizzarolli scoffed playfully.

"Do you seriously doubt my charm and charisma? Come on."

Asmodeus chuckled, raising an eyebrow.

"I trust your charm, darling. I just worry about your tendency to be, well, "Fizzarolli"."

Danika couldn't help but giggle at their playful banter. Asmodeus smiled warmly at Danika's giggle.

"There's that adorable giggle again."

Fizzarolli grinned, rolling his eyes playfully.

"See? Even Danika laughs at my jokes."

Asmodeus shook his head, amused.

"Ah, well, it takes a certain sense of humor to appreciate your brand of comedy, darling." he teased affectionately.

Danika smiled at their affection.

"So, where to for our first date?" she wondered, looking at the window as they left the Pride Ring to the Envy Ring.

Asmodeus thought for a moment, then smiled.

"We have a few places in mind. But since it is your first time in the Envy Ring, we thought we'd start with the basics."

Fizzarolli added with an excited tone.

"Yeah! Like the best restaurants and the most popular spots."

Asmodeus nodded in agreement.

"Envy Ring is like an ocean since it's filled with fish demons. There could be a beach there too!" he said.

Fizzarolli grinned, nodding enthusiastically.

"Oh, yeah! The Envy Ring is a vast place. And beaches are definitely a common sight here. I'm sure there's one somewhere around here."

"Sounds fun." Danika nodded.

Asmodeus smiled, feeling pleased by her response.

"Indeed, it does. We aim to make this date unforgettable."

Fizzarolli gave her a playful nudge.

"Hey, if you feel like you're not having fun, let us know, sweetie. We can always switch things up."

"I will." she said as they soon made it inside the Envy Ring.

Asmodeus glanced at her with a warm smile.

"We appreciate that. Open communication is key."

Fizzarolli chimed in, pointing outside the window.

"And here we are! The Envy Ring!"

Danika looked outside and noticed the sky is purple, and the place is almost like they're in an aquarium or coral reef city as she could see fish demons walking past by. She was amazed at the sight. Asmodeus grinned, noticing her amazed expression.

"What do you think, darling? Quite a different sight from the Pride Ring, isn't it?" he asked.

Fizzarolli chuckled, also noticing her reaction.

"Yeah, the Envy Ring has its own unique charm. It's like an underwater city."

"It is. But isn't Envy supposed to be... you know, envy? Since they can be very jealous of someone's goods." Danika questioned, remembering reading a book about Envy.

Asmodeus nodded understandingly.

"You're right, dear. The Envy Ring is inhabited by demons who often feel envious of others. But interestingly, not all envy is negative. It can motivate people to better themselves and strive for improvement."

Fizzarolli added, adjusting his hat.

"Yeah, sometimes envy can lead to positive changes. It's all about how you handle those feelings."

"I see." Danika said, remembering that.

Asmodeus nodded, pleased that she was following along.

"It's important to understand that each of the Rings has its own specific traits and characteristics."

Fizzarolli chimed in, grinning.

"Exactly. And the Envy Ring is known for its obsession with materialistic things and status."

Before they knew it, they're out of the limo, and the first thing they did is heading to the movie theater. The marquis says "TIDE & PREJUDICE." Asmodeus and Fizzarolli let her inside first before they head in after her as they buy the tickets. Inside the movie theater, they found their seats and settled in comfortably with their snacks and drinks. The lights dimmed, and as the movie "TIDE & PREJUDICE" began to play on the big screen, Asmodeus and Fizzarolli turned their attention to it.

Asmodeus glanced at Danika with a smile.

"Are you ready for some cinematic entertainment, darling?"

Danika nodded as they silently watched. Fizzarolli leaned back in his seat, popping a piece of popcorn into his mouth.

"Let's see what this movie has in store for us."

Asmodeus chuckled softly, eyes fixed on the screen.

"Definitely. It's always interesting to see what narratives different filmmakers come up with."

Let's just say they enjoyed the movie as Danika could tell that this is based on Pride and Prejudice, only it's reimagined. After that, they stop at a photo booth. Within the photo booth, the trio posed and made faces, capturing a variety of lighthearted and playful moments. When the prints emerged, they gathered them and giggled at the results.

"Oh, these turned out great! Look at our silly expressions." Asmodeus chuckled, examining the pictures.

"And look at my serious face with you guys being scared and trying to look serious." Danika pointed out with a giggle.

"Yeah, that serious face you made was definitely unexpected!" Fizzarolli laughed, amused by their expressions.

Asmodeus grinned, admiring the pictures as well.

"And those genuine smiles at the end – those are the best ones. They capture our genuine happiness during the moment."

Danika smiled, looking at the photos with affection.

"It's nice to have these as keepsakes and reminders of the fun we had together."

"Speaking of fun, wanna explore more?" Fizzarolli suggested.

"Absolutely." Danika nodded.

The trio then boards an elevator. As other passengers get on, they're forced closer and closer together. The doors close. As the elevator goes up, they're almost touching. Danika's heart beats a bit at their closeness. Asmodeus and Fizzarolli were a little flustered by their closeness in the elevator sweating a bit but kept their composure.

They eventually stepped out onto the observation deck and admired the view of the surrounding city. A group of kids comes up next to them - they are a little curious about the owl demon girl. Danika notices and summons out purple rings that become silly faces on the nearby buildings and popping out fireworks to make it look like their hair. The kids cheer, and Danika takes a bow. As Asmodeus and Fizzarolli watched her interact with the kids, soft smiles tugged at their lips. They quickly tried to hide their adoration when Danika turned back towards them.

At the outdoor cafe, the trio enjoyed the refreshing Ocean Water Cocktails. Asmodeus and Fizzarolli downed theirs with ease, savoring the taste. Danika eagerly sipped hers and, to their surprise, downed it in one go, not realizing the strong alcohol content. When Danika ordered some more cocktails, they were shocked to see how much she could drink without getting drunk as she kept on drinking and drinking while eating some fruits that were with it. When she finally finished and let out a loud burp, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, genuinely entertained

Danika noticed and questioned what's so funny, but they just laughed. Suddenly, people around them started dancing. As the dancers around them started moving to the tunes reverberating in the air, Asmodeus and Fizzarolli joined in, swaying and bobbing their heads with the beat. They noticed the couples forming and smiled mischievously, turning their attention to Danika with a playful sparkle in their eyes. With a nod, they extended their hands, inviting her to join them.

Somewhat surprised by their gesture, Danika hesitated for a moment before eventually taking their hands and stepping into the rhythm with them. Asmodeus' smile grew as he guided her into a dance, his steps confident and full of life. Fizzarolli chuckled, adapting his movements to match their pace. The music seemed to blend perfectly with their combined energies.

The atmosphere around them seemed more vibrant and lively, as if the melody of the moment had cast a spell on their surroundings. After dancing, they walk around the beach. Crystals of minerals grow along the shore. Suddenly, Asmodeus' flame around his head turns green.

"Whoa." Danika gasped in awe, looking down to reveal he's standing on a crystal. "How'd you do that?" she asked.

Asmodeus picks up a green crystal.

"It's the minerals. Check this out."

Showing off, Asmodeus goes to another crystal, touches it, and his flame turns pink.

"Awesome!" Danika said.

Asmodeus runs along the shore. Hopping and touching between crystals, his fire changing into all the colors of the rainbow.

"Wow."

Smitten and wanting to share, Fizzarolli glances toward the water and smirks at Danika.

"Watch this!"

He hops onto the speedboat and speeds through the ocean and makes his robotic hand turn into a helicopter and uses it to skid through the ocean, spraying a fine mist into the air, creating a rainbow. He comes to a stop, floating above the ocean. Danika looks at him, aglow while Asmodeus is impressed with his performance. Danika looks down at her hands and decides to show them off as well.

"Watch this!"

With a help of her magic, Danika runs over to the ocean and stands in it with only her feet submerged then creates a little galaxy on the ocean where Fizzarolli is floating on to make the water look magical, much to their amazement.

Asmodeus' eyes glittered with delight as he watched Danika create the miniature galaxy within the ocean. The colorful light from her magic illuminated the water surface, turning it into a mesmerizing spectacle.

"That's absolutely beautiful, dear. It's like you've brought a piece of the cosmos right here on the ocean." Asmodeus said.

Fizzarolli, hovering on the water surface, was equally captivated by the enchanting display.

"You never cease to amaze us, Danika."

"Thanks. I tried." Danika chuckled sheepishly.

"You know, you're the first ever girl to ever... actually learn to have fun." Fizzarolli said, speedboating back to them on shore.

"Really??" she asked.

"Yeah, every girl Bee tried to pair us with always... tried to get into our pants and tried to dress something sexy instead of being comfortable around us..." Asmodeus sighed.

Danika looked genuinely surprised by their revelation.

"Really? I wonder, why is that the case?"

Asmodeus nodded, a hint of frustration in his expression.

"Indeed. It seems like some people are more interested in materialistic things or physical appearances rather than genuinely enjoying our company."

Fizzarolli scoffed, shaking his head.

"It's like they care more about fame and what we can give them rather than who we are. It can be quite tiring and disheartening."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Being famous and known for must be hard..." Danika frowned.

Asmodeus smiled warmly at her empathy.

"Thank you for your understanding, darling. Being well-known does come with its challenges, but we cherish the genuine connections we make even more."

Fizzarolli chuckled, shrugging slightly.

"It's a double-edged sword. The fame has its perks, but it also makes it harder to find people who genuinely care for us."

"Well... I'm glad that you guys had fun as much as I have. To be honest, I was kinda worried you two wouldn't like me or how I dressed since I had never talked to a royal or a famous star before. Mostly just normal people and my family." Danika said shyly.

Asmodeus, hearing her concern.

"Oh, darling, there's no need to worry about that. We appreciate people for who they are, not how they dress or their background."

Fizzarolli, chiming in with a reassuring smile.

"Exactly. We value genuine connections over superficialities. Your kindness and genuine nature spoke volumes, even before we said a word to you."

Danika was surprised at this and blushed.

"Thanks... I..."

Suddenly, she heard a ring tone coming from her phone as she pulled her purple skull decorated phone cover and looked to see it was her dad Stolas calling her.

"Hello?" she answered.

....

"I'm sorry? Say that again?"

.....

"What?!! Octavia did what?! When did--?! Okay! I'm on my way! Tell Blitz he is in so much trouble for letting this happen!!" she shouted before hanging up.

She smiled apologetically to Asmodeus and Fizzarolli.

"I'm sorry, but I gotta go, and my sister suddenly got herself into a heap of trouble. Maybe we can see each other next time."

Both Asmodeus and Fizzarolli looked at Danika with understanding smiles, clearly seeing the urgency in her situation.

"No need to apologize, darling. Family matters come first. We're glad you had fun with us today." Asmodeus nodded gently.

"Yeah, family drama can be a real hassle. Hope everything gets sorted out quickly." Fizzarolli agreed, waving casually.

"Yeah. See you guys. I'll text you if I'm free!"

Asmodeus and Fizzarolli watched as Danika hurriedly created a portal and waved goodbye, disappearing into the IMP headquarters.

"See you soon, dear! Take care of your family." Asmodeus said.

"Stay safe, and don't worry. We'll catch up later!" Fizzarolli chimed in with a parting comment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Danika ran inside the building as fast as she could before slamming the door opened, shaking the building for a bit. This shocked Blitz and the crew along with Stolas. Danika immediately glares at Blitz, who gulps.

"Blitz!! You have ten seconds to tell me why I shouldn't be beating your ass to the pulp right now!" she demanded, stomping towards him.

"No, no, no! I've already dealt with Loona's wrath, I don't want to deal with yours! Besides, your sister snuck in without us knowing!" he defended, backing away fearfully.

"You could've set up an alarm or something!" Danika yelled. "Why would Octavia do that anyway? It's not like her to just suddenly leave with that book."

"Exactly! How are we supposed to find her? Where would she go?" Stolas said, clutching at his hat worriedly.

Loona sniffs the air.

"Well, it reeks of urine and desperation so..." she said, sniffing again before becoming disgusted. "Ugh... L.A."

Everyone goes from worried to turning and looking at Loona surprised.

"What?" Loona questioned, noticing their look.
