"Ahhh! Maya! What do I do now?!" Sandra cried out as she hid in Maya's chest, realising she will have to go on an actual date this evening.
Maya could not help but smile and pat Sandra at the back of her head, caressing her dark hair before saying, "You have been waiting so long for that. Are you going to throw it away? Go there and get him. He probably can't wait to meet with you too."
"Ah, I suddenly got really nervous… What if he comes without his mask and I will stare at his face without talking?" Sandra asked worriedly, finding comfort in the two soft pillows beneath her.
"He won't mind, don't worry. You are cute when you are yourself. You don't have the reason to feel nervous around him. If he doesn't like you the way you are, you can always make him like you. You are the tiger and he is your dinner. Remember how fast did he agree for a date with you?
As long as you show up stunning him with your beauty, he won't be able to resist you. Devil Face will be all yours." Maya assured her, giving her a big confidence boost with her words. She knew it will work based on Sandra's personality.
Just as she thought, Sandra raised her head with a confused expression as if she was contemplating her words and spoke in realisation, "You are right… What am I even getting worried about? It is just a date. As long as I behave normally, there is no way he can resist me. Thank you Maya, you are the best."
"Mhmm, but remember, don't go too extreme. Be in control but leave him some room. You don't want a robot but a man. Got it?" Maya warned as she let her go, wanting to prevent any disasters from happening.
Sandra already imagined Devil Face doing anything she wants which put the smile on her face, not actually catching the last advice that she received but she still nodded, "Mhmm, I know."
She was now really looking forward to this date and stood up excitedly before pulling Maya towards her clothes closet as she said, "Come! We will pick me a dress. I will make Devil Face's mouth open wide from amazement.
Maya could only follow after her while wishing Devil Face the best in her mind, 'Hope you can survive till tomorrow…'

'Wuxing! She accepted!' Devil Face cried out in happiness the moment he received Sandra's response and the moment he read it, he was in even bigger ecstasy.
'What did she say?' Wuxing asked curiously, wondering if his poem worked in the end and Devil Face quickly called back, 'She said she can't wait to meet me! What's more, she called herself 'Your Sandra'! Do you know what that means?!'
"Haha, yeah, tell me what does it mean." Wuxing laughed at that, playing with Devil Face some more before he would reveal the truth.
Devil Face was hyping himself, even more, feeling somewhat proud but hearing Wuxing laugh, he got suspicious. He still called out in question, 'Doesn't it mean that she thinks of herself as my Sandra already? Isn't that great?'
Wuxing felt bad for having to ruin his Spirits happiness but he had to. He grinned as he dropped everything on hand and asked calmly, 'Think, do you think Sandra would ever write something like this?'
Devil Face imagined the Sandra he knew and replied without hesitation, 'No. The Sandra I know would curse me instead…'
Wuxing smiled getting the confirmation and explained further, 'Well, you got your answer. She is not a person who will show her emotions and feelings this easily. You have to first crack the egg before the insides spill. What I think happened is Maya assisting her in reading the letter and replied on her stead. You said they are friends, right?
Based on Sandra character, this is exactly what she would do.'
'Damn… How could I miss this.' Devil Face cursed, knowing that Wuxing could be right before asking with sadness, 'Does that mean she didn't accept it in the end…?'
Wuxing smirked and said, knowing that Maya wants him to meet with Anna, 'She will have to. Maya won't let her reject it. Don't worry. Just prepare yourself and go make this date the best one she will ever have. You don't have a lot of time.' If Sandra won't meet with Devil Face, Wuxing wouldn't have to comply with the Maya's request.
'Oof… Then we still have a date. Good. I will prepare. Yes. I will do that.' Devil Face sighed in relief, planning to get ready for the date but then he realised he didn't know what to do.
As if Wuxing sensed that, he asked suspiciously, 'You do know what to do, right...?' He wouldn't be surprised if Devil Face didn't, knowing his inability to write a simple letter.
Devil Face did not want to ruin his date so he quickly admitted while begging right after, 'No… Wuxing, you have to help me! Give me some tips please!'
Wuxing snickered as he commented, planning on getting more favours from him, 'Tsk, I thought you are my helping Spirit but it seems it's the other way around…'
Devil Face didn't give up and quickly pleaded, 'Come on, we are partners! Bros for life! You can't leave me like that! I will owe you for that...'
Only then did Wuxing agree and started his tutoring, 'Fine. Let me give you some basic tips then. First of all, bathe before your date, shave, put on some nice perfumes and wear your best clothes. The casual suit would be nice. Can you do that as a Spirit?' He asked curiously, not exactly knowing what Devil Face could do as a Spirit.
'Yeah, Spirit Realm is basically same as your world but for us Spirits. We basically have everything you have.' Devil Face confirmed quickly, which made it easier for Wuxing to choose the tips.
Thinking about Devil Face's knowledge of dates, Wuxing continued to explain the fundamentals, 'Before you go on a date with her, you have to answer some questions to yourself. What's your end-goal? Are you ready for a committed relationship or just want to date for fun? Approach the date with the answer to these questions and you will be much more confident as you already know what you want.'
'Mhmm, I understand.' Devil Face nodded with understanding but then followed up with a question, 'What if I don't know the answer?'
Wuxing had a quick answer for it as he described, 'If you don't know, try to imagine your future with her. If you can't, it means you are not ready for it. In that case, just have fun. This is actually another tip. You have to make up your mind in advance to have fun. If you are going to have fun, there is a high chance that she will as well.
Also, be yourself. If you are silly, be silly. If you are a dummy, turn it around and make her laugh together with you. Sometimes your flaws could be your advantages as well.'
'Whoa, you are good…' Scanning through the new information, Devil Face couldn't help but be amazed but it also made him think of other questions and he proceeded to ask, 'But what about the date itself? What do I talk about? What do I do?'
