Meanwhile at Mr. S's Mystery Shop, Vivien stares at the sign for a half hour as she feels her body lightly shaken with her mind swirls in a mixed emotions of fret and anticipation.

Okay...you can do this. Like Moonchild said, you just have to asked him out and see if he reciprocates my feelings. It's simple, Vivien. You got this.

She reminded herself as the lake goddess takes a deep breath and exhale out. Vivien strolls into the shop where she spots Sam cleaning the counter. Taking the initiative, the brunette lake goddess went over to the shopkeeper in a calm manner.

"Hello Sam." Vivien greeted.

"Hm? Aah well look who decide to came to visit. How can I help you, Angel?" He asked with a friendly grin. Vivien slightly tilts her head and bites her lower lip staring coyly at him.

"Mmm...Are you available after school?" She asked curiously. Sam placed his hand under his chin humming playfully.

"My friends from the other side told me that I don't, but why do you asked?" Sam asked curiously crossing his arms creasing his brows while smiling cheekily. Aware of his expression, Vivien grins gently stroking her arm with a coy smile.

"Well...I was wondering if you would go on a date with me that evening after school. I haven't thought what place we should go, but I was thinking of going somewhere peaceful and pleasant for us..." Vivien suggested smiling timidly while twirling her brown strand of hair.

"Hmmm, how about we visit our friends of the other side?" Sam hums darting his eyes at the ceiling with an amused smile. Feeling a blush crept from her cheeks, Vivien kept smiling coyly at the shopkeeper while scratching her right cheek with her finger.

"You mentioned that before...I never really actually know what these friends look like, but I believe it's going to be "eerily enchanting", I assumed?" Vivien teased while plastering a coy smile. Sam chuckles softly.

"Seems like an Angel has got some spunk." Sam praised as he smirks subtly at the coy lake goddess.

"Not that I don't mind. Sides, my friends from the other side, are quite fond of you. So..."

Sam then grabs her hand and pressed his lips on the back of her hand that made her blush. Soon after, the shopkeeper flashed a gentle smile at the lake goddess.

"See you tonight, My Angel~." He purrs flashing a wink at her. Delighted, Vivien lightly bobs her head at Sam smiling gently at him trying not to fan girl.

"...Thank you, Sam. I'll meet you at the front entrance?" She guessed and he smiled warmly.

"That would be great." Sam replied elating the bashful lake goddess.

"Good...See you later, Sam." Vivien waved with a sweet smile. As soon as she steps out of the store, the lake goddess perks a huge smile and covers her mouth with her hands.

As expected, Moonchild's technique actually worked.

She pondered as Vivien looks back at her conversation with Glory.

~~~~~~
"So what's this being "confident, happy, and kind" have to do with Sam?" She asked curiously.

"Well let me reassure you, Vivi. Being yourself is one thing, but YOU ma'am have to be confident with yourself, be sincerely happy, but not too happy. Most importantly, you have to be genuinely kind to him. Laughing, smiling, and being generally sunny and gentle are all very attractive, but don't burst out laughing at everything he says. You might scare him, so you be your natural, sweet, calm, and authentic self that you always have. You also have to show genuine interest, pay attention, and respond warmly when he tells a story. It's intoxicating to be around a spirited, empathetic person." Glory reassured.

"And how did you know about that?" Grim asked curiously folding his arms. Glory giggles awkwardly while scratching her finger on her left cheek.

"Well one of my two besties, Harriet, told me about this before I started dating Marc. "It's the good ole natural charm!" is what she said, but she also said "If you gave him a coy smile, twirl your hair, and lip bite technique, it will definitely turned him on." Glory informed as Vivien curled her brows at her.

"You believe it's going to work on Sam?" She asked skeptically as Glory scratched the back of her head.

"Oddly yes. I done that before on Marc and I was just as skeptical as you are, but surprisingly it worked." She said as Glory darts her eyes back to Vivi and walks up to her to lay her hands on her shoulders.

"But remember what I said, Vivi. Don't be afraid of being your natural and authentic self to him and most of all, be confident and positive." Glory reassured with a tender smile.

"I still don't get this technique, but I'm sure it'll work." She comforted.
~~~~~~~~

Looking back at her advice, Vivien smiles fondly and let out a soft giggle.

"I guess it does work, Moonchild." She mumbled as she turns her heels and walks off in the halls with a content look on her face.

—————

Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin looked amazed by the results from the crystal ball.

"Well that went well as I expected." Merlin stated before letting out a soft chuckle until he heard Grim mumbling next to him.

"Mmm...Is she back yet?" Grim moans while rubbing his eyes with his tiny paws while laying down on his desk. Merlin pat his head.

"No she's not. She's dealing with..."something else" right now." He informed him.

"Mmm...?" Grim groggily blinks his eyes and spun his head until his eyes widened to see Vivien smiling merrily while skipping through the halls.

"Did she actually-."

"Indeed. Vivien has got herself a date with the shopkeeper himself." Merlin cheerily told him. To his shock, Grim's jaw dropped in complete one eighty upon hearing the explanation.

"Holy crap! That actually worked?!!" Grim shrieked in shock and Merlin nods with a huge grin.

"Correct you are, Grim. And you know what that means..."

Cue the party poppers cracking out of the bottle.

"MY SHIP IS ABOUT TO SET SAIL!! Woohoo! Time write a fanfic of this on my journal!!!" Merlin cheered like a total fan girl he is.

"Ffgna! HOW OLD ARE YA!?" Grim shrieked with a confused yet astonished expression at the nurse's zany nature.

—————

Meanwhile at Heartslabyul, Riddle, Trey, and Cater are enjoying themselves with tea while Ace and Deuce are in charge of feeding the flamingos at the rose gardens.

"Ugh why do I have to feed the flamingos while wearing this? It's so embarrassing!" Ace whined while throwing seeds at the flamingos.

"Cater-senpai says it's a tradition in out dorm." Deuce told him making the heart-tattooed ginger groaned.

"Seriously? Who wears pink jumpsuits while feeding flamingos anyway?" Ace grumbled.

"Says the Queen of Hearts." Trey reassured them.

"Indeed. One of the rules from the Queen of Hearts said that one must wear a pink jumpsuit while feeding the flamingos. That is what is today and one of the traditions that card soldiers do in the honor of the queen herself." Riddle sternly informed while sitting on the throne drinking tea. Soon snaps are heard when they turned to see Cater taking a pic of the one-brain cell duo.

"Wow! Lookin' good, Ace-kun and Deuce-chan!" Cater perkily compliments while taking a pic of Ace and Deuce in their pink jumpsuits much to their annoyance while taking a pic of them.

"Oi! Stop taking pics of us, damnit!" Ace hissed.

"And drop the "chan", will you!?" Deuce shouted.

"CHE'NYA!!!"

Soon all of them stopped when the Heartslabyul gang spun their heads and caught off guard to see Glory and Che'nya bolting through the rose gardens.

"Gah!"

"What the-!?"

Ace and Deuce shrieked with shocked looks to see the pissed off Glory letting out a war cry while wielding her Excalibur as the mischievous purple cat lets out a laugh.

"Nyahahah!! Catch me if ya can, Sundrop-chan!" He teased before sprinting to the right side of the garden.

"Che'nya I'm not kidding! Give me back my camera or I'm going to chop your head!!" Glory bellows while chasing after Che'nya.

"Wait! Stop! Don't cut off the roses!!!" Cater shouts and runs after her.

"Grab her!!!" Deuce shrilled as he and Ace dropped everything they do and began chasing their ravenette friend. Alarmed, Riddle stands up from his seat.

"Rabbit! Put that sword this instant!" Riddle ordered and starts running after her as well.

"Riddle wait!!" Trey shouts and chased after his childhood friend where all of them are caught in a wild goose chase.

"Nyahahaha!!! This is so much fun!" He cackled.

"I mean it, Che'nya! Stop running and give me back my-! Wah!!"

Soon Deuce and Ace tackled Glory to the ground causing to released her sword and reverts back to its dagger form. Soon after, Che'nya laughs his ass off.

"Wow! You look so funny with you're mad! Haha! You're like Riddle when he gets mad!" He chuckled while roaring with laughter.

"Don't compare my anger to hers, Che'nya!!" Riddle scolded at him with a tick mark throbbing from his head. Then he whips his head back to Glory where Ace and Deuce are holding her arms and Cater grabs both of her legs.

"Gah! Let go of me guys! Che'nya has my camera and I need it for my photography club!" Glory shouted while being restrained by three boys. Riddle then furrows his brows together.

"Trey, go grab her weapon." Riddle ordered.

"Gotcha." Trey replied as he went over to her dagger and Riddle turns his head to Che'nya.

"And you, give me back the camera." Riddle severely ordered with the cat nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders and throws the camera to Riddle.

"Here ya go.~" Che'nya sang merrily and the dorm head successfully caught it. Afterwards, Riddle strolls over to the gang.

"All of you release her, now." Riddle sternly commanded with the three of them bob their heads and released Glory. Glory stands up and wipes the dust off of her skirt, but then Riddle folds his arms and gives her a strict expression.

"Rabbit, what were you thinking running around with a sword in the garden like that? What if you accidentally sliced someone in half?" Riddle scolds at her with Glory letting out a sigh.

"Well if you don't know, Che'nya here snatched my camera right I was about to go back to my tasks as a photographer for the photography club and I chased all the way through the halls to your dorm." Glory explained.

"Eeh? That's it?" Deuce uttered in shock.

"He took your camera and run off?" Ace asked curiously.

"Yup! And it was fun! Nyahaha!" Che'nya laughs.

"So mischievous as always~." Cater sighed.

"More importantly, why are you here? If the guys find you here, more trouble will increase in our campus." Trey stated.

"Nya don't worry Trey. I got out of Merlin-sensei's office and I turned invisible so people don't noticed me." Che'nya explained.

"FYI. You guys look great in meow-tching jumpsuits." He complimented with a cheeky grin making the half brain cell duo cringed.

"D-Don't remind me of that!" Deuce stuttered feeling embarrassed.

"Jeez this sucks..." Ace mumbles until a camera flashed before their eyes when both of them dart their eyes on Glory, who perks a sneaky smile while holding her camera.

"Che'nya has a point. You guys do look great in pink jumpsuits. Keep up the good work boys!" Glory complimented pulling a thumbs up shocking yet embarrassing them.

"Gah! Glory-san!" Deuce shrieked.

"Oi! Delete that!" Ace yelled.

"And lose the opportunity to relished this beautiful moment? No way! I'm cherishing this for good ole time memories." Glory said.

And I'm saving them for blackmail material. Hehehe.

Glory thought with a grin while eyes gleam in mischief.

"Cmon, really?" Ace whined lightly shaking his head with Glory giggling with a smile.

"Pretty much." Glory replied with a coy smile. Soon Trey came over with the dagger in his hand.

"Cmon guys, lay off will ya?" Trey comforts them as he gives the dagger back to Glory.

"Here's your dagger, Gloriane-san." He said as Glory grab her dagger and placed it back in her bag.

"Thanks, Trey." Glory replied and he smiled back as the vice dorm leader strokes her head and made her heart skip a beat from his gentle touch.

"Anytime, Gloriane-san." Trey replied kindly while ruffling her hair making her blush a little causing stings from the boys themselves. Soon, Ace breaks the silence by letting out a groan.

"There he goes again, pushover Trey~." Ace sang teasingly making Trey glance up at him before letting out a chuckle.

"Cmon, I'm not that of a pushover." Trey reassured crossing his arms with a coy smile. Deadpanned, Riddle cleared his throat.

"Ahem. I believe that you two should get back to work if you don't want to face punishment at the end of the day." Riddle reminded them and they all flinched and begrudgingly nodded.

"Hai..." They mumbled and he turns to Glory as he grabs her hand gently that made her heart beat again.

"I apologized for Che'nya's antics. In the meantime, why won't you stay here with us for some tea? I'm sure you're tired of chasing after him." Riddle suggested and Glory grinned warmly while feeling her slowly heart beating.

"...That would be nice, Riddle. Thanks." Glory replied while smiling trying to remain calm as her heart beats from Riddle's touch.

"Nya~. Can I joined too?" Che'nya pleaded in a sing-song tone.

"You'll get caught by the other students here just like last time." Riddle reminded.

"Like I said before, no one will noticed me if I'm invisible~." He sang merrily making the dorm head sigh.

"I doubt it, but be sure to be on guard." Riddle reminded him.

"Nya!" Che'nya meowed happily as Riddle takes Glory to the table with Trey, Che'nya, and Cater following along while Ace and Deuce went back to feeding the flamingos.

————————

Later at the hallway, Vivien was strolling merrily through the halls until....

"Aah! Vivien!"

"Mmm..."

Vivien whips her head with a smile to see Rapunzel waving her arm at her with Pascal clinging on to her shoulder and Cassandra approaching her with smiles while holding posters. The lake goddess turned around to see them.

"Hello Sunchild and Moonstone. I believe you're holding the posters for the upcoming event next week?" Vivien assumed with zen from her future vision as the queen giggles and beams at her.

"Yeah! Crowley asked us to put on posters for the Vocal and Dance championship. I don't know about it, but I do love dancing and singing!!" Rapunzel chirped with Pascal croaking in glee.

"Still why would he flat out ask us to put up flyers right after our meeting with birdbath is over?" Cassandra asked before letting out a sigh.

"Seriously. This guy needs to get this timing right." She complained.

"Speaking of "birdbrain", how was your meeting with Dire?" Vivien asked with a obvious knowing grin that Cassandra detected and shoots her a blank look.

"Lady, you know how the meeting turned out." Cassandra sassed with the lake goddess giggling.

"Why of course. The meeting was a success isn't it?" Vivien fake guessed and Rapunzel beams brightly at her.

"Yes! We got permission from Crowley! Our dorm is now officially the "Moonshine Dormitory" and I even showed him the flag that I made!!" Rapunzel cheered as placed the posters down and pulls out the Moonshine Dormitory flag.

Vivien leans forward, gazing the flag with awe with a smile.

"My my, what a gorgeous flag you made. I like how you incorporate the sundrop flower and the Moonstone Opal together. Not to mention that the shield meshed well with the logo. Pretty impressive I'll say." Vivien complimented and the queen brunette giggled.

"Thanks! I did the sewing myself!" Rapunzel told her with a giddy grin.

"Well you did an excellent job on this." Vivien complimented once more and Rapunzel giggled.

"Thanks." She replied.

"Speaking of which. Anything good going on? We saw you strolling with a happy look." Cassandra asked. Vivien perked a dreamy smile as she batted her eyes twice with emerald orbs gleam with love.

"Ohhh let's just say that I, Vivien the Lady of the Lake, asked a special someone on a date tonight." Vivien told them causing Cassandra to widened her eyes standing there froze with shock from her eyes and Rapunzel to let out a gasp with her green eyes.

"What?" Cassandra uttered with a look of disbelief. Perked with excitement, the vibrant Rapunzel clasped her hands together beaming brightly at her.

"That's so romantic, Vivi! Who's the guy?" Rapunzel asked curiously with green orbs gleaming with anticipation while grinning vibrantly. Vivien giggled and tugs her strand to her ear smiling calmly.

"Well I'll give you a hint. His name starts with an S and ends with a M." She implied shocking the two grown women.

"No." Rapunzel gasped.

"Yes." Vivien replied plainly. Ecstatic, Rapunzel couldn't help but perking a smile on her face and covers her mouth with her hands internally screaming her head off in pure joy.

"Surprising, isn't it?" Vivien asked curiously as the euphoric Queen bobs her head firmly and smiled warmly at the lake goddess.

"Yeah! You asked Sam on a date! That's so adorable!!! Where are you guys going on this date?" Rapunzel asked curiously.

"I suggested a walk around the park and stargaze during the nighttime. It's not truly romantic, but it's quite a pleasant spot for us to enjoy ourselves." Vivien explained while Rapunzel beams a smile.

"That sounds so lovely! I think you two will be great together!" Rapunzel reassured.

"Why thank you." She replied, but Cassandra shared a different reaction when she lets out a half joyous chuckle.

"Yeah...definitely." Cassandra grumbled and avert her gaze cringing from her previous "romance" with a certain man that-should-not-be-mentioned.

"I see that you're reminiscing from your previous experience with a quote on quote "special someone"?" Vivien assumed with zen from her future vision. Cassandra let's out a snort and folds her arms with a grimace.

"Tch! "Special someone"? More like a "wolf in disguise". Not gonna mentioned his name, but you might knew him cuz you're a weird future lady, no offense." Cassandra apologized.

"Non taken." Vivien replied nonchalantly and the swordswoman sighed.

"As I was saying. I knew that guy was a fraud from day one so there's no real connection between us." Cassandra explained making Rapunzel gritted her teeth cringing from their cringeworthy memory.

"Yeaaah...It was not a pretty picture..." The brunette Queen mumbled with a grimace look.

"And let me guess. This man happens to be a separatist from a group organization known as The Separatists of Saporia, whose goal is to destroy Corona and reestablish their fallen kingdom, Saporia, as an independent kingdom by stealing the book that contains Corona's secret. However, he failed and was arrested by your adopted father." Vivien guessed in great detail that made the two women speechless as the lake goddess smiled wisely.

"Accurate description, isn't it?" She assumed with a grin.

"Uhh...Yeah..." Rapunzel stuttered and Cassandra pinched her temple.

"We're quite well known in this world aren't we?" She groaned.

"Indeed." Vivien replied calmly as she placed a finger to her lips.

"Regardless. I would advised both of you to keep this a secret. "It's a girl's thing", female mortals say." Vivien informed them and Vivien shrugged her shoulders and smiled calmly.

"Okay. Whatever floats your boat." Cassandra replied shocking her queen best friend.

"Wait, what? We're doing the "secret thing" again? You know the last we did it, right?" Rapunzel reminded referring to the first time they kept a secret where it was about her hair growing back making Cassandra sighed.

"I know Raps, but just hang in there for one second. This is a personal thing for Vi, so please don't tell everyone about this, got it?" She reminded her.

"But-."

"It's only one time, your highness. I can reassure you." She consoled. Rapunzel darts her eyes from Vivien to Cassandra before letting out a reluctant sigh.

"Okay fine..." Rapunzel begrudgingly agreed. Vivien lays her hand on her shoulder.

"I'll be alright, you highness. When the time comes, tell him." She reassured with a gentle smile and her advice made her a little better, but nods her head nevertheless.

"Alright..." She replied.

Soon they heard footsteps when a recognizable voice boomed across the halls.

"Yooo ladies, why hogging up the halls here?" Eugene asked curiously flashing a chill smile.

"So what's going on here?" He asked curiously. The three women darted their eyes to one another where Cassandra and Vivien crept smirks while Rapunzel averted her eyes while biting her lip awkwardly. Then the three glance back at the puzzled Eugene.

"Oh nothing, Sir Eugene Fitzherbert. The girls and I were just discussing about..."juicy details", that you don't want to know about." Vivien explained with an implicit smirk as she walks passed him along with Rapunzel and Cassandra where they let out soft giggles leaving Eugene baffled by what just happened.

"Huh? What? Hey! What do you mean by that??" Eugene asked as he zipped out and chased after the three women.
