Euphoria sighed at the end of the long and tedious lesson from Penelope. She'd been learn the ins and outs of the whole D'Agostino empire for the past couple of weeks. Although they had a tendency of boring her to the utmost highest level of boredom she left each lesson having learnt something new.

"Now for my favourite part." Penelope clapped her hands excitedly.

I wonder where she gets these random burst of energy.

"This up coming Saturday we will be hosting an event in your honor!" She screamed jumping up and down.

"In... my... honor?" Euphoria arched her brow in confusion.

"Yes in your honor." She nodded enthusiastically. "Most business associate, enemies and D'Agostino family members are coming to see you." She grinned.

"But why?" Euphoria still couldn't understand why the event needs to happen. "I mean isn't that a little extra?"

"I had one too but mine was much earlier than yours." Penelope waved off. "It's basically long overdue."

"And why is that?"

"Because most didn't believe that you and Demetrius were together until the tabloid headlines had your name Salvatore's name and Demetrius's name. Oh and let's not forget you and Salvatore being front page of People magazine. Or how a few weeks later you and Demetrius were together at the club and plastered all over ever gossip show, news pager, magazine and being on the cover page of People magazine." She pointed out. "So with that being said everyone was basically asking when will you be introduced."

"Fair point." Euphoria nodded. "But still..." She whined.

"Oh hush." Penelope waved her off. "We have lots to do."

"Like what?"

"By we I mean me and the planner. You, my dear, just need to get your dress; shoes;make-up; hair and nails done by that day. Oh and don't forget you also have to choose Demetrius's tux. That night you'll be judged by what you wear and how you act then your personality will come afterwards." Penelope began to pace back and forth as she normally does out of habit. "People will also be judging your choice in Demetrius's attire." She suddenly faced Euphoria. "Oh and don't forget about Salvatore as well."

"Wait a whole minute." Euphoria shook her head. "Why does my sense of taste and how much money I spend on us matter? Isn't that shallow thinking?"

"Honestly honey it is but it's what has to be done." Penelope plopped on the couch. "These things get tiring so much and I'm just glad that Emilio has enough time and stamina so I could release some stress."

"Ok! TMI mama Penny! T.M.I." Euphoria laughed out. "I don't need to know about your sex life."

Penelope giggled. "Just make sure you make everyone drool and wish to be in your place, not that some women don't already."

"Oh I know." Euphoria huffed thinking of the women she has encountered. "So I guess it time to break the internet and fill up everybody's mouths with the D'Agostino and Kreek name: time for a family outing."

~¤~

"Are you ready for today?" Euphoria asked Salvatore who sat besides her as they ate breakfast.

"Mhm." He hummed as he nodded with his mouth full.

"Baby are you sure you cleared out your schedule for the day?" She asked Demetrius.

"Yes tesoro stop stressing." Demetrius chuckled as he watched her fidget with his hair and Salvatore's hair, trying to fix it.

"I can't help it." Euphoria finally sat still for a moment before she began to adjust his jacket. "I mean Penelope said that it's very important and I don't know... I mean, I don't normally give a f-..." She glanced at Salvatore who looked at her expectantly. "-a care in the world what people think but this is your family."

"And they'll love you no matter what." He kissed her cheek. "Now eat."

"I'm not hungry. Plus I was just touching your guy's hair." Euphoria pulled a face as she looked at her hands.

"Go wash your hands and come back to eat." Euphoria groaned loudly before getting up and going to wash her hands.

After they had their breakfast, they got into the awaiting SUV. Salvatore sat on Demetrius's lap with Euphoria to the left. While Demetrius answered phone calls and e-mails, Salvatore and Euphoria took pictures on her phone. When they reached a block of rather expensive and high end brands Euphoria couldn't help but get excited.

Demetrius led them into a boutique that had racks and racks of clothing. Her eyes danced around the store as she held onto Salvatore's hand. A woman in a fitted black dress rushed up to them. Practically sparkling at the sight of Demetrius.

"Good morning sir. Is there anything that I can help you with?" She grinned.

"Get me Rose Rosé." He muttered not looking up from his phone.

Euphoria nearly laughed at the sad puppy look that appeared on her face. She watched the woman turn and disappear around the corner. Not long after the woman returned with another older looking woman. Her feet danced gracefully across the floor as her dress glided with her adding much more flow to her movement. Euphoria could tell that this was Rose Rosé instantaneously.

"Demetrius my boy." She grabbed his face and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "How are You? And how is your mother?"

"I'm doing alright and mama is well too." Demetrius nodded as he put his phone away.

"Oh my little Salvatore. The thief that took my heart." Rose gushed as she placed many kisses all over his face. Salvatore giggled bathing in the attention. "Are you eating your vegetables and behaving for your papa?" Salvatore nodded with a big smile.

"And you must be the beautiful Euphoria." Rose pulled her into a hug. Euphoria smiled as she returned the gesture. "My heavens aren't you marvelous." Rose spoke as she angled her face from side to side. "I can't wait to work with you. Do you have a sense of style in mind."

"No but I do have a colour." Euphoria smiled at her.

"Come with me then." She gestured. "You know Penelope sent me a few of your pictures yesterday so I could get a head start but those pictures have not done you any justice."

"Thank you." Euphoria smiled at the woman.

"Oh my pleasure my dear." She waved her off. "Now," Rose turned dramatically. "Lets play dress up."

~¤~

"Can Salvatore's shirt match my dress colour instead and then Demetrius's shirt will be black?"

The tailor nodded before he ordered his apprentice in Italian to retrieve some items. Euphoria's dress fitting had gone well and now they were at Salvatore and Demetrius's suit fitting. They both stood on a little podium side by side looking at themselves in the mirrors.

"Bowties or full ties?" The tailor asked with his accent drowning his words.

"Bowtie for Sal and a full tie for Demetrius. Both the same colour as my dress." She informed. "Rose gave me a sample of the material so it would be easier for you to pick out the material." Euphoria dug in her purse and handed it to him.

"Ahh." He nodded before walking over to a tray of ties before him.

Carlo, the tailor, handed the bowtie to his apprentice so that he helps Salvatore, while he did Demetrius's tie. They both adjusted the boys before they turned to her.

"Awe." She gushed looking at them. "Aren't you both handsome." She grinned. "Thank you Carlo." She shook the man's hand.

"My pleasure Mrs D'Agostino." Carlo slightly bowed before ushering the boys to the back to removed their clothes without moving the pins.

Euphoria had tried correct Carlo on the whole surname but it only confused the man since he doesn't understand English as a whole. So, in the end Euphoria gave up.

"You ready to eat?" She asked Salvatore who came out first.

"Yes. Can we do something fun after eating?" As he got comfortable on the seat besides her.

"Like what?" Euphoria quirked her brow.

"Can we got to the Zoo?" He grinned.

"Sure, why not? Only if something doesn't come up."

"Are you ready to go?" Demetrius asked as he took Salvatore into his arms.

"Yes." She nodded. "Do you think we'll have enough time to go to the Zoo after lunch? Salvatore wants to go." Euphoria asked as they made their way to out the store.

"Yes, we will have enough time. I don't guarantee that we will finish seeing all the animals but most." He informed. "Is that ok with you figlio?"

Salvatore nodded before he began to talk about all the animals he wanted to see.
