Rhys had just woken up, he had had a nightmare and was breathing frantically. "Are you alright baby?" A voice asked. It was Emily and she was still laying down. Rhys was sitting up. "Yeah I-I'm f-fine." The Imp stammered. "Baby I know when you're lying to me." "How?" Rhys replied. "Your dick gets rock hard." The Succubus whispered into her boyfriend's ear. Rhys blushed and covered his private parts as Emily began to giggle. Then she pulled the Imp towards her and cuddled him like he was a teddy bear. "So what's on your mind?" She asked. "I just had a nightmare about yesterday's events." Rhys said. "It'll be okay, don't worry." Emily said as she laid him down. "I hope so." Rhys said as he tried to go back to sleep. When the sun was out, Rhys woke up quite late in the day at around 9:30 A.M. He rolled out of bed, stretched fiercely, and then he looked down. He noticed he had been dressed. "What the?" He whispered as he got out of the bedroom. He walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the refrigerator. It read: "Went out with Apple for a while, I'll be back at around noon. I made something I think you'll like:) XOXO, Emily." The Imp went into the fridge to find Macaroni and cheese, a very odd choice for breakfast, but who was he to complain. There was another note on it, instructions for reheating the food. "Pop in the oven for eight minutes at four hundred degrees." He read as he walked over to the oven. He typed in 400 degrees and waited for it to heat up. It beeped and then he set a timer for eight minutes, put the Mac n' cheese in a tray, chucked it in, and waited. After waiting, he returned to find the food in a perfect state, ready for his tummy. He began to eat, and as he took the first bite he nearly fell back out of his chair, it was amazing! He scarfed it down and then figured out what he was going to do until Emily got back. He then realized something. "It's lazy Saturday!" He yelled happily as he walked into the living room. He sat on the couch and began to turn on the television, going through each and every channel. He couldn't really think of anything to watch so he turned it off. Then he remembered he had his Hellbox in a box somewhere in the house. He ran to his boxes and began searching through them. He found the gaming system and began to play a bunch of games. At around 11:10 am, he got a text from Emily. "Wanna do something tomorrow? Like a date night or something before going back to work?" She texted. "I think that's the best thought I've heard all day." Rhys replied. "Alright then, I'll be home a little later than what the note said." "Ok." Rhys got back to playing games on the Hellbox until Emily got home and he turned it off. "Welcome home honey!" Rhys said as he went to greet her. "Oh, hey Rhys!" Emily said, she looked around a little, she seemed spooked. "Is everything-" "Shhhhhhhhhh!" The Succubus shushed as she covered the Imp's mouth. She shut the door and took Rhys into her room. "What's wrong?" Rhys asked. "I don't know, I feel like I'm being watched." She said as she shut the blinds. "What?! Come on, it's fine! You're overreacting." Rhys said as jumped on the bed. "Come on, let's Lazy Saturday the day away." He slowly convinced her to crawl into bed, cuddle, and watch TV until they fell asleep late in the night.
The next day, the two lovebirds woke up and got out of bed silently. They both felt like they were being watched. They looked around the room for cameras, microphones, anything to see if the house was rigged. Once they checked the entire house, they took some deep breathes out and began to start their day. "Rhys, I don't get it! It feels like a pair of eyes are on my back!" "Honey, it's okay! It's called mass paranoia, DeeDee told me about it when we were all getting the same feeling in Wrath. and he was right! So just calm down, you got a little scare and then you spooked me, it'll be fine." Rhys said as Emily picked him up. She cuddled him as a way to calm herself down. "I suppose you're right. Maybe we just need to get out a little more." Emily sighed as she put him back down. The two lovebirds ate some cereal as they considered what to do. "Why not just do the beach and then the movies?" Rhys suggested. "That sounds good." They began to prepare and after a few minutes, they were out the door.
After spending some time at the Mall, the two lovebirds were considering what to do next. "How about we watch a movie?" Rhys suggested. "No it's too early for that." The Succubus said. "How about the beach?" "It's too early for that as well, how about we go to the nearest Café and get a drink?" "Sure." Soon they walked along, though Emily kept having a growing feeling like she and Rhys were being stared at. Once they got into the Soft Rock Café, the feeling flew off her and the weight off her shoulders. Rhys and Emily were seated at the bar. "Hi, what can I get for you guys?" The barista asked. "I'll just get an Espresso with two pumps of milk." Rhys said. "I'll get a latte with one pump of cream and some whipped cream on top." Emily said. The barista nodded and went to the machines. Suddenly, the door flew open! Everyone looked over and then saw Verosika Mayday walk in, and people flew to her! Vortex was there as well, and he was her body guard, throwing people out of the way to the bar. "V-V-Verosika Mayday?! What would y-you like miss." "Oh, just a Cappuccino with- EMILY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WITH THAT THING?!?" She screamed as she looked over at the two, who had just gotten their drinks. "He's not a thing, he's my boyfriend." Everyone gathered around. Verosika stared at the two, her face began to shake and turn a dark red. "YOU KNOW HE WORKS FOR THAT BITCH BLITZØ!" She yelled as she raised her hand, in an effort to slap her! Her hand came crashing down, but not onto Emily. Rhys had jumped in the way and took the hit. "Emily, finish your drink and let's go." Rhys said coldly as he stared downwards to the ground. The sea of people had made a path for the two so they could escape. "I'm so sorry about that Rhys! I didn't think sh-" "It's okay Emily, it's not your fault. I kinda hated that bitch, just gives me another reason to hate her." Rhys replied, cutting her off. "Okay. My goodness, she hit you hard!" The succubus said as she pulled out a little mirror and handed it to Rhys, "It's fine." He said as he took a look at the red mark. "Let's just go to the beach." Emily said as grabbed his hand. "That sounds splendid." Rhys said as he followed her. In the Café, Verosica was gritting her teeth. "That fucker." She said as she was given the cup of coffee. She then drank it and then broke the handle by squeezing it.
A little later, Rhys and Emily had just arrived at the beach and had just gotten changed into their swim gear. "Emily went to lay down on a towel as Rhys went to the ocean to play in the waves." Though after about 15 minutes of sun bathing, Emily was starting to feel paranoid again. She kept looking around the beach to find the eyes, but she couldn't find them! She then got up and went over to Rhys. She swam out a little, almost getting decked by some massive waves. "Rhys!" She yelled out. "Emily? What are you doing out here, what's wrong?" Rhys asked back. He turned his head back to look at her and swam over. "I feel like I'm being watched again." "Ah, no problem. It'll be- AHHHHHHHHH!" "HOLY S-" They screamed as a wave came crashing down on them. They were washed up closer to shore, and that's when it happened! Emily stood up, and then realized her bra had come undone! "OH DEAR!" She covered herself, Rhys grabbed her bra and they hurried her over to the changing rooms so she could fit it back on without prying eyes. "How the hell did this come undone?!" She whispered, her bra had two clips on the back and one on each strap. Once she was done, the two lovebirds just relaxed on the sandy beach, listening to the waves crashing into the shoreline, the kids laughing with each other, the odd Succubi staring at them. "Wait, is that Verosika?" Rhys asked as he pointed towards the group of Succubi. "It is! And look, she's wet!" And indeed she was. She was covered horn to toe in ocean water, she had clearly been in the water. "You don't think she's following us, right?" "'Course not, she'd be crazy too!" "I hope you're right." Emily said with a frown as she laid down again. After an hour or so, the two lovebirds departed for the movies, and so they gotten changed into more casual wear and then they left the scene.
When they arrived, they walked towards the ticket booth. "Can we watch the newest Living Dead movie?" Emily asked her boyfriend. "Sure sweetie." Rhys replied, trying to hide the fear in his eyes. They went ahead and purchased two tickets along with some sodas and a large box of popcorn to share. When they went in, The movie was about to start. The final ad played as the two lovebirds sat down. The movie was of a sort of different style, instead of the camera being set on a tripod and using panning shots, it was instead held by someone on one of those hand held video cameras. "Day 8 of the zombie takeover. All my friends are gone, and the zombies are at my doorstep." Said the man whom was filming at around the midway point of the movie. "CRUNCH!" The door came down and a few grotesque zombified Imps walked in and charged at the man as he yelled in terror. Rhys shut his eyes and shook fiercely as the man ran away. Emily noticed this and took his hand. "It's fine Rhys." She said as she massaged it. Rhys still shook and shivered, "what's wrong?" The Succubus asked. "I got the feeling again." The Imp asked as he gestured with his head towards someone in the front rows. Emily couldn't spot Verosika, but now she was ready for when they departed. She was so mad, it was like steam and smoke were billowing out of her ears! "She's completely ruined our weekend!" She hissed silently as she angrily ate some popcorn and watched the movie. They two groups had not interacted during the movie, and once it ended, Emily and Rhys swiftly departed and were waiting outside for them, they knew they were bound to be coming after them. As they waited, Rhys saw a back door that swiftly opened and shut. He told Emily he was going to inspect it and walked off. As he got closer to the door, he reached his hand out and was prepping to open the door when it shot open! Then a worker walked out with a trash bag. "Bugger off." She said in an annoyed tone. She past him and slammed the door behind her. Rhys turned around and saw Emily and Verosika arguing. Before he could get to Emily a crowd surrounded the two Succubi. "Just leave us the fuck alone!" Emily yelled at her boss. Then Verosika did something that no one saw coming. She slapped Emily! "You should be ashamed of yourself!" Veroskia yelled. "Well at least I have a boyfriend!" Emily yelled back. "That thing is but a mere toy." "You take that back!" Emily yelled in anger. "Aw, did I upset you, princess? Are you gonna run all the way back to your palace and whine about it to your Daddies?~" Emily's face turned dark red. She then made her way through the crowd, grabbed Rhys' right arm and pulled him away.
The two lovebirds walked home. Emily was seething all the way. "Emily what happened?" Rhys asked, feeling concerned. "I fucking hate that bitch." The Succubus muttered as she unlocked the front door. She walked in with Rhys following her. He however went into the kitchen while Emily went into her room. She slammed the door and lay down on her bed. Then Rhys walked in. "Emily are you oka-" but he was cut off as Emily pulled him onto the bed. She squeezed the Imp tightly as she cried. "I don't understand!" She sobbed. "I don't even know why I work for her now! It's not even like she pays me!" "Wait, then how can you afford this house?" The Imp asked. "My parents own it, they used to live here when I was younger." "Oh, who are your parents?" "Asmodeus and Fizzorarolli."
