Josuke and Erina giggle as they drink from each other's glasses with their own straws. They're drinking a strawberry milkshake.

"Ugh..." said Bodyguard Jedan. "What are you two doing?"

"We're sharing a milkshake!" smiled Josuke. "I read online that couples do this! It's called 'sex!'"

"That's not what sex means, Josuke," said Bodyguard Jedan.

The Fusion, meanwhile, are playing Eels and Escalators.

"Guys?

"Oh, wow! Mr. Reaper? You've got your Stand back?" asked Josuke.

"Precisely... and I need the seven of you to reach me now in Earth Grimm. Do not bring Erina Zeppeli."

"What? Why?" asked Josuke.

"Just follow my orders."

A portal appears before them as the seven all hop in.

"I promise that we'd be quick," smiled Josuke, kissing her cheek. Erina gives him a big smile.

The seven enter inside along with Bodyguard Jedan.

Erina's smile disappears.

Erina receives a call from an unknown caller.

"He knows," she tells the caller.

"Mr. Reaper... I don't believe... anything that you just said," said Josuke.

"Kid, I'm sorry to tell you, but you can't trust her. I've read her mind," said Miguel. "I believe that she's working for Jackson."

"Mr. Reaper, do you even have proof?" asked Finn.

"No," said Miguel. "But you guys have to trust me."

The seven all stand before The Reaper, who sat on his computer chair.

"Well... if Mr. Reaper says it..." said Jake.

"No! Guys! You don't understand! She actually does like me!" yelled Josuke. "You never questioned Kira!"

"Josuke... You have to consider that Miguel has the stuff to know about Erina," said Gumball. "You kinda have to listen to him."

"Mr. Reaper... That is simply impossible. My Stand doesn't allow unluckiness for me," said Josuke.

"Well you have to consider your last encounter with Thawne," said Miguel, steepling his fingers.

"What?!" asked Finn. "You encountered the Man in the Yellow Suit?!"

"Yeah..." said Josuke.

"Why the heck didn't you tell us!?" asked Darwin. "Is that the thing you were talking about with Erina!?"

"You didn't catch that!?" asked Josuke.

"We thought you were talking about childbirth!" yelled Patrick.

"WE'RE BOTH UNDERAGE!!! AND YOU KNOW ME!!! UGH!!!" yelled Josuke, as he grabbed his head. "I have a headache."

"Well for one thing..." said Miguel. "If you don't believe me, then talk to her, right now..."

Miguel talks to his microphone on his computer. "Kariel?"

A portal opens, and there, Erina stands, looking all serious.

Josuke walks into the portal.

"Erina!" smiled Josuke.

The portal closes.
