Time passed so fast between these two that they didn't even know how long they hung out for. It was about 3 hours and Lou and Mandy sat together and a coffee shop, talking and laughing about things that had occurred in the past or what had occurred now. To them time was nothing, seeing is it passed by so fast. Lou just finished telling Mandy joke which she laughed at in return- fully recognising Lou's sense of humour. The two of them must of been so occupied with entertaining one another with jokes that they didn't notice the looks that they got from other dolls. Most of the dolls - some recognisable or not- had a mixture of confusion. as to why Mandy would hang out with Lou. Some looks were disgusted as to why Lou was hanging out with Mandy. But only a small 10% of those crowds smirked in acknowledgment of their connection. But it wouldn't have mattered to either one of them, just by being around each other they felt that other people's opinion just really didn't matter. The both of them eventually tried to calm down.

"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom." Mandy said as she stood up from the seat. Lou smiled and just nodded. Mandy then walked away leaving Lou to suddenly realise everything that was happening to him. He always secretly beamed overtime he thought of the fact that majority of the dolls were willing to give him a chance, and that fact alone always kept his confidence high. 'And to think, if I had said no to Mandy... Then I wouldn't be sitting here in a comfy suit.' Lou thought to himself mentally, realising that he was glad his stubbornness didn't take over his well-being and ruin his chances.

"Hey Lou!" Ox exclaimed excitedly, waving in Lou's direction as he made his way towards him, Lou smiled and waved back. "Hey Ox" Lou replied with a calmer tone but still showing that he was very happy to see him. "What are you doing here?" Ox inquired with a questioning look on his face. "I was just hanging out with Mandy." Lou stated right before he took a sip out of his iced tea. Ox smirked right after Lou said that, he decided to tease him about the situation. "Oh? So you two are on a date?" Lou almost spit out his drink in surprise when he heard Ox say that. He shrugged off the feeling that he got when he thought of Ox's thoughts and spoke while closing his eyes- hoping he wouldn't incorrectly word this.

"Nah... Mandy and I are just friends, Ox. Although we do talk now from time to time and always speak and the fact that I stay at her place- that does not mean I am dating her." Lou mentally face-palmed himself knowing that his sentence did not make any sense whatsoever.

"Oh so you two are sleeping together?" Ox asked without hesitation as he slightly leaned against the table with his one arm.

"W-What?! NO! Not like that!" Lou stammered like crazy as he thought of what Ox meant. Ox only laughed in amusement. "I'm just teasing you, partner. I know what you meant. But I'm glad that you have more people to talk to and socialise with now that you have decided to change." Ox reminded Lou, making Lou smile. "Yeah, me too." Lou admitted. Suddenly Lou could spot a kind pink, female doll with nubby teeth come by to find Ox.

"Ox! Everyone's waiting for you! Oh! Hi Lou!" Moxy greeted Lou with kindness in her voice. Lou smiled back, appreciating Moxy for greeting him. "Hey Moxy. What are you guys doing here." Lou said leaning on the table with a smirk on his face. "We were having a proper look around and seeing all the new renovations that had been happening over time since we left!" Lou nodded.

"Anyway, we got to get going! So you next time Lou!" Moxy waved goodbye taking Ox with her, Lou waved back. "See ya!" "Oh and Good Luck tomorrow!" Ox wished Lou good luck, finally walking away from Lou making it back to the group. Lou sighed and spoke to himself "Good luck indeed, Lou" Lou spoke to himself. Suddenly he heard Mandy from right behind him giggling at him talking to himself. Lou turned around sharply and was surprised to see Mandy already without him knowing. "How long have you been standing there!" Lou exclaimed. Mandy eventually stopped laughing and explained. "I am pretty quick and light on my feet, I don't really think anyone notices me slip by." Mandy said. Lou was still surprised, but now slightly embarrassed at himself for having Mandy seeing him talk to himself. Mandy then looked to her left to find a big clock that told the time, by a building say that it was 4pm.
