The long-awaited day had arrived, Lucifer was in his room preparing something that would help him with his date, he never expected to have to create something like that, especially for a date. He was surprised at the effort he was putting into this date, he didn't even know if everything would work out, or if it would make him happy in his life. He was betting everything on it going well.

After creating the artifact, he set out to change his outfit for the date. Normally, he would decide to go with his usual clothes as they represented his respectable side, but if he wanted everything to go well, he should look better than he already did. He opened his closet to realize that all his clothes were the same, they all had the same type of design and colors. With that, he felt sorry for himself as he practically wore the same clothes every day, as if he never took a shower.

Lucifer: This can't be all I have.

He searched through each of the garments hoping to find something different, with negative results. In the end, he just took one of the garments and used his golden magic to change its color scheme. Among the many options he had, he chose an outfit in blue and purple. If he was going to a place with neon lights, he should fit into the atmosphere.

Lucifer: Ready, what do I do now?

Seeing that there was still time before he went for Carmilla, he decided to go to the lobby to meet Charlie and Vaggie, who were watching the old television they had.

Charlie: Wow, Dad.

Vaggie: You look good, sir.

Lucifer: Thank you, Ma... Vaggie, sorry.

Vaggie: Don't worry about it.

Charlie: I've never seen you in that style of clothing before, if you want this date to go well.

Lucifer: I just wanted to try something; although I feel weird not wearing my classic white color.

Charlie: But it's okay to break routine, are you ready to go get Mrs. Carmine?

Lucifer: It's still a long way to go for her, so I decided to see what you two were doing.

Vaggie: We were just watching TV to pass the time.

Lucifer: Don't you wish you had one of those big TVs? I can make it happen.

Charlie: Don't worry about that, from what I understand, one of the Overlords can control modern technology, so it's better to be cautious.

Lucifer: I think I know who you're talking about.

Charlie: Are you nervous?

Lucifer: Nervous?

Charlie: Yes, you haven't done this in years, it's normal to feel scared.

Lucifer: I'm not nervous, it's normal to have those feelings. I mean, I'll probably end up ruining it by talking about something I shouldn't, I might intrude on something personal to her that makes her hate me, I might already be nervous.

Charlie: Relax, everything will be fine.

Lucifer: What if nothing goes well? She won't like the food? Am I overdoing it with this?

Charlie: Why did I even ask?

Vaggie: Sir, everything will be fine, you just have to focus on what can make Mrs. Carmine happy. On a date, you always have to pay attention to the person you're with so they feel how important they are to you.

Lucifer: Thanks for the advice, I think I'll walk until I get to Carmilla's territory to distract myself a bit.

Charlie: Okay, Dad, good luck.
