Officially, SMG4 and SMG3 have been a couple since December 25, that is, since Christmas Day... However, they had not yet officially become boyfriends... That morning, 3 woke up and looked at the time, it was 11:29am, then he looked at the calendar, it was December 31st, meaning that day they would have their first date... He showered and got dressed, only this time he put on his moon bracelet and the skull earrings that 4 had given her. .. Then he went up with Eggdog to the cafeteria to have breakfast before leaving...

- You're going to stay with Mario, Luigi and Meggy - said 3 while taking a spoonful of his cereal - You can misbehave, but don't kill them, because if you kill them, SMG4 is going to be very sad... Do you understand? -.

Eggdog simply responded with an affirmative bark, while taking a bite of the Chinese food that SMG3 had given him (Because the day before they had had Chinese food for dinner and since there was leftover, the red-eye had reheated it)... Once both They finished, they washed the dishes, picked up the coffee, let down SMG3's super secret guard and started to clean up their house...

Just as they were finishing, it struck 3:00pm, which meant that in an hour it would be her date with the blue-eyed man... He took his coat and left in the direction of Mario and Luigi's house... When she arrived, he noticed that Beeg was there...

- Thanks for taking care of Eggdog - said 3.

- No SMG3 problems! - Meggy and Luigi responded.

- Mario wishes you luck on your date with SMG4!! - he shouted from his room.

- Thanks Mario... - said the red-eyed man and then turned to see Eggdog - I'll be back in a while, take care of yourself, my little one -.

He then gave him a hug, but when he noticed how Beeg was simply observing him, he smiled slightly and said...

- You come here too, Beeg -.

Beeg ran in the direction of 3 and Eggdog... Then, SMG3 gave the little ones a big hug and left... He took a shortcut through the Internet Graveyard... Because if he took the normal path, he was going to. It will take about an hour and a half, but if he took the Internet Graveyard route he would arrive a few minutes earlier (Since he knew the place very well)...

SMG3 arrived at the shopping center at 3:56pm, in order to receive 4... He went to the food area, where he bought a hot caramel cappuccino (Because it was already starting to get a little cold)... Then he received a call from the fat Italian...

- What now, Mario? -.

- SMG3, HELP, MEGGY IS MAD WITH MARIO, EGGDOG AND BEEG, BECAUSE WE ATE HER RAMEN!!! -.

- Just tell him that if he touches Eggdog or Beeg, she's going to regret it for the rest of his life - he said in a deep, dark voice.

- OKIE DOKIE!!! - Mario responded before hanging up.

- Those idiots - he thought.

SMG3 continued leaning on the pole, while he started looking at memes and the occasional image from his gallery... Suddenly he found a very curious image... It was one that he had taken a few hours after the accident at Peach's Castle ...That day, after they left the place, SMG4 was feeling too tired, to the point where he was falling asleep while walking... So since the Internet Graveyard was very close there, the red-eyed man invited him to go to the old Starbucks...

He let him sleep there for the whole week, until he felt better... He was also taking care of him, since because of PuzzleVision, he had several consequences, such as sometimes he would get a very high fever from not having slept for too long time or he couldn't sleep because of the horrible nightmares he had and he had even healed the wounds that the keyboard had left him... In the photo, SMG4 was seen sleeping next to Eggdog, totally exhausted, after he had healed him some wounds...

Seeing him in that state had made him feel so helpless... At the same time it had made him remember that nothing was ever going to be perfect... While it also made him reflect on all the pressure that SMG4 felt on a daily basis... And he made a promise to help him in any way he could... So that it would never happen again...

- ¡¡SMG3!! -.

When he looked up, he saw how the blue-eyed boy was heading towards where he was... Just when they were facing each other, they gave each other a small kiss and then a hug...

- Ready for this? - asked 3 with his sarcastic voice.

- As long as it's with you, of course! - he responded.

They continued holding hands and began to walk around the shopping center... The first store they went to was the video game store, there they saw very interesting games, like "Shrek Online 2: Revenge of the Donkeys", they also saw the " Five Nights with Alfredo and Guillermo Afton" and they even saw the exclusive game of "Super Mario Bros Depression Deluxe"... Then they went to the stuffed animal store (Because SMG4 loves stuffed animals), where they saw and even saw a stuffed animal of Pirate Peach (Because if you took off her crown, she would go bald)... Leaving there, they went to the Fast Food, because she was already hungry... They were looking for something to eat, when 4 approached the red-eyed...

- SMG3, will you buy me an ICEE? - asked the blue-eyed man.

- An ICEE... With this fucking cold? - asked 3 incredulously.

- Yes, any problem? -.

- What happens if you get sick? -.

- Well... - 4 responded somewhat embarrassed - I don't know... -.

SMG3 simply sighed, turned to look at the blue-eyed boy and gave him a big hug...

- We bought one and we shared it - he said smiling - So, if one gets sick, the other does too and we take care of each other -.

- Sounds good to me - replied 4 laughing.

They ordered a cherry ICEE, then they went for a pizza to share... They finished eating around 7:00pm, then they continued walking through the different stores in the shopping center, this time they went to the pine shop, in that place they found pins of skulls, flowers, LGBT flags and many more...

It struck 10:00pm, which meant it was time to return... First they went to Mario's house to look for their children... They thanked them for the favor and left... Upon arriving at SMG4 Castle (I mean the Showgrounds), it was already 11:00pm, so they began to prepare to see the New Year's fireworks... They had some soft drinks and (With the help of the magic of both) they went up on top of the Castle... They sat down and they waited for the fireworks to start showing, Eggdog and Beeg were playing "Tag, you're it", while SMG4 seemed a little nervous...

Just when there were about 2 minutes left, the blue-eyed man began to gradually get closer to 3, while he continued to look somewhat embarrassed and/or nervous...

-Hey, SMG3, can you promise me something? - said 4 while leaning on the red-eyed man.

- What thing? -.

- Promise me that, no matter what happens next year, we will always be together... In the good times and the bad... -.

Then, 3 took the blue-eyed boy and gave him a warm kiss, while several fireworks began to explode in the sky...

"I promise you," he said as soon as they separated.

They hugged again and started watching the fireworks, while Eggdog and Beeg hid between them (because they didn't like the noise they made)... Once the fireworks were over, they came down from the roof very carefully and entered. Inside the castle, they put on their pajamas and went to sleep...

That year had been very peculiar and they knew that the next year would be too, since they didn't have a normal life... But they didn't care anymore... Now they are going to be together...
