Sun City…
In Sun City, there is a mall that has an open roof...it’s called “The Fountains” because it has several fountains along the mall and that’s the place where Alejandro and Marjorie decided to meet...
The sun has almost set, Alejandro walks towards his meeting point with Marjorie. He looks down because he couldn’t do anything to help the others:
“I look pathetic, with even a broken arm…”
Alejandro arrives at the meeting point, he looks at Marjorie sitting in front of the fountains. She is wearing a black blouse, red mini skirt and black tights. Alejandro blushes as he approaches her:
“H-H-Hey...Majorie…”
Marjorie looks at Alejandro and asks worried:
“Alejandro, what happened to you?”
Alejandro avoids looking him in the eyes and laughs nervously; “I fell...and things happened…”
“Alejandro...you should be careful...you could seriously get hurt…”
“I know..I know…” Alejandro says as he hears a young boy screaming; “I’m the Silver Space Ranger…” He turns and looks at the a child running with “Space Ranger” costume as he screams:
“I AM THE SILVER SPACE RANGER! I AM A HERO!”
“A hero...huh…” Alejandro begins to think; “I promised Luis that I would protect him and be a Hero...such a Hero, I turned out to be…”
“Alejandro...is everything alright?” Marjorie asks Alejandro. Alejandro looks anxious, he makes a fist and asks:
“Marjorie, could you wait for me for one more hour?”
“One hour?”
“Yes...there is something I must do...I need to be a hero…”
Marjorie smiles and says; “A hero huh...I remembered when we were little, you always said that you wanted to be a hero…”
Marjorie walks towards him and grabs his hand; “I don’t understand what’s going on...but I will wait for you okay...take the time you need...I will wait for you here…”

Alejandro smiles; “Thank you...I promise I will return…” Alejandro begins to run, he takes off his support in order to run faster.
Marjorie smiles as she says; “It’s like you said...Valerie...he is a very determined guy...tell me...do you want to drink some coffee?”
Valerie walks towards her, she chuckles; “That idiot...he forgot about his broken arm...hey, Marjorie...what do you think about my brother?”
Marjorie blushes as she avoids looking at her. Valerie smiles; “That’s what I thought...well then, let’s drink some coffee.”
“Ha...ha...ha…” Alejandro runs towards the exit. Suddenly, he is pulled by the neck and forced to go to an empty hall. -PPUUMM- “OUCH! THAT HURT! WHO DID THIS?”
Alejandro opens his eyes and looks at the two people; “Uriel? Chelsea?”
“Hey...I heard that you messed up again…” Chelsea chuckles. Alejandro looks confused; “Wait, are you two on a date?”
Chelsea chuckles; “Of course…” Alejandro looks at Uriel who replies; “Look, I am just fulfilling my promise to her…”
“Don’t forget about Marjorie…” Alejandro says as he stands up. -PPUUMM- Chelsea punches his stomach; “Don’t about other women in front of me…”
“S-S-Sorry…” Alejandro grabs his stomach. Uriel looks at him and says; “Now, then, you want to save that kid right?”
Alejandro nods in agreement with determination. Uriel grabs his broken arm and heals it. Alejandro breaks the arm cast. Uriel opens a portal and says:
“I tracked down their location, you will go over there okay...Listen, Hobgoblins are strong...so don’t do reckless things okay…”
“Yeah, I got it…” Alejandro replies, Uriel pushes him and says; “Good luck…”
The portal closes, Uriel looks at Chelsea and asks; “Want to go eat dinner?”
“Of course…” Chelsea grabs his arm as they head to a restaurant.

Chinese Restaurant…
Uriel and Chelsea decided to eat dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Uriel ordered Orange Chicken and Chelsea ordered Broccoli beef.
“So, how’s the chicken?” Chelsea asks Uriel. “It’s pretty good...do you want to try some?”
“Only if you feed it to me…” Chelsea says with a seductive voice. Uriel grabs a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and feeds Chelsea. Chelsea eats it and says; “Delicious…”
“Glad you liked it…” Uriel says to Chelsea, Chelsea grabs some beef and feeds Uriel with her chopsticks; “Say ahh…”
Uriel eats it and says; “It’s good…”
The two of them chuckle and continue to eat and talk. A few tables behind them, Victoria and Angela who were following them are “supposedly” eating. They are wearing black clothes and sunglasses as a cover. Victoria looks at them with jealousy; “Uriel, I can’t believe he is dating her...he already has me…”
“Victoria, I don’t feel comfortable...maybe we should go…”
“Come on Angela, you wanted to know what was going on right? I mean, we’ve been following him for a couple of days and he always disappears...today we will catch him...I want to know where he lives…”
“Yeah...but still…”
Uriel and Chelsea stand up, and head towards them. Victoria and Angela cover themselves. They pass right next to them without noticing.
“Phew, that was a close one...come on…”
“Wait, the tab…” Angela says as she lets a 100 dollar bill saying; “Keep the change”
The waitress is impressed; “Wait...you only had water…”
Victoria and Angela ran outside the restaurant looking for them but they were nowhere to be found; “Don’t tell me we lost them again…” Victoria sighs with her eyes closed. Angela looks down:
“Sorry…”
“Come on...let’s go to…” Victoria looks at Marjorie and Valerie at a coffee shop; “Hey, isn’t that Marjorie?”
Marjorie waves at them. Angela and Marjorie head towards them. Hiding behind a pillar of the restaurant. Uriel and Chelsea observe them. Chelsea chuckles; “It’s like you said...they were following us…”
“I told you…”
“You know, I am really liking this date...but it feels that something is missing...I think that I really like the cruel side of you…”
“My cruel side?”
Chelsea gets embarrassed and replies; “Yes..that side of you that doesn’t care what happens...I really enjoy looking at that side of you…”
“I see...very well, I have something in mind…” Uriel opens a portal and extends his hand; “Come with me...let’s go do something fun…”
Chelsea nods and grabs his hand. Both of them disappear as they walk in the portal.
