When Dan got back, Phil was in the front room on his laptop.

"Hey, how was it?" Phil asked as Dan walked in.

"Oh, it was great," Dan sat down on the couch and grabbed his own laptop.

"So what was it like? Was she nice? Was she pretty? Does she like Pokémon?" Phil bombarded him with questions.

Dan may have told Phil that he was going on a date with this girl he met on the Internet. He felt horrible for lying, but knowing now that Phil could be burnt at the stake for knowing anything at all, there was nothing else he could do.

"She's very nice, she's pretty, and likes Pokémon," Dan lied.

"She sounds amazing!" Phil said in awe. "You'll have to introduce me!"

Dan froze. "What?"

"Yeah! It'll be fun! Besides, this is the girlfriend of my best friend! I want to get to know her!" Phil chanted like an excited child.

"Haha, well I'm going to her place again tomorrow around the same time. I can ask her about it," Dan suggested.

"That sounds great! Tell me the second she gives you a date!" Phil did a little dance. "I can't wait!"

"Neither can I," Dan fake smiled sinking into the couch. Ohhhh shit. I'm completely screwed!

"Anya!" Dan called bursting through the kitchen door of the coven house the next day.

"Good morning, Dan," she smiled sweetly putting eggs on plates. "You're here early."

"Yeah, about that, I have a favor to ask you," Dan told her.

"What do you need?"

"Well, I kind of told my flat mate that I've been going to see my new girlfriend as an excuse to leave the house and not let him get too suspicious and now he wants to meet her," Dan said guiltily, "Do you mind pretending to be her?"

"If you're trying to fake ask me out, then I fake say yes," Anya responded.

"Really?"

"Of course. I wouldn't want your friend to find anything out and get burnt at the stake. I'll help you keep him clueless," Anya agreed.

"Thank you so much! I owe you big time for this!" Dan exclaimed.

"You owe me nothing," Anya set the pan down in the stove and turned off the fire. She turned around and looked Dan in the eye. "We are a coven, and a coven is a family, and a family is always there for each other."

"Thank you," Dan gave Anya a hug.

"Anytime," Anya hugged back.

Dan pulled out and to face her, "So far, Phil knows that you're nice, pretty, and you like Pokémon."

"Well it's a good thing my brother always forced me to play that with him then," Anya giggled.

"Yeah, sure is. Need some help getting these out to the others?" Dan offered levitating the plates with his telekinesis.

"Why thank you," Anya opened the kitchen door allowing Dan to lead the plates out into the loft.
