Before answering him she ordered a mocha latte.

"It does play into the mystery but why was she created in the first place? Outside of TOPS no one should have an AI that powerful."

She sighed.

She watched as he elegantly flipped the coin and caught he. Always so smooth in everything he does.

"Cheeky is a good way to describe Fairy. It's been a few months since we've gotten her and I still don't really understand what she is."

Walking into the coffee shop she looked up at the menu.

She waved back.

"I'll be waiting."

"Alright, I'll hold the tapes for you. Just make sure you stop in before the store closes today."

"No we can't. She scolds me for a ton of other stuff as well."

Leading the both of them out of her room and out the front door. Stepping outside she stretches her arms over her head.

"Oh good. There doesn't seem to be line at Mr. Cof."

"I think we do. I saw the title in passing when stocking videos the other day. Normally it's one video rental for your birthday but I'll let it slide since it's a trilogy of movies."

"If you come to the video store you get a free video rental for your birthday."

She hopped off the couched and stretched her arms over her head.

"Then a stroll it is. Fairy will yell at me if I sit too long."

Looking down at him she smiled.

"Plus I could use some coffee."

"And you scold me for not balancing."

"Wise would disagree with you."

She laughed a bit.

"So what should we do next? Watch another movie, walk around sixth for a bit? Honestly, I am up for anything."

She was being a bit shy and didn't want to say out loud that she just wanted to spend more time with him.

"I guess before Ethereals appeared people of the old civilization didn't have much to be scared about. I think it's why I don't find most horror films scary.

I deal with scarier monsters on the regular."

It made her happy to hear that he was concerned about her.

"It's been like this since the fall of the Old Capital but I'll keep your advice in mind."

She listened intently as he spoke about the movie. Agreeing with his views on it.

The credits of the movie begin to roll and Belle leans onto his shoulder as he lightly plays with her hair. She is glad that he wants to stay, she'd be a little sad if he left right after the movie.

"So what did you think?"

"That's good that you have a good work life balance. Wise and I work all the time. Feels like we never get a break."

Besides running the video store, being a proxy is a job without breaks. Now with Fairy they work even more due to the rising electricity bill.

The rest of the movie played on as the demons began to possess the family one by one. It was a rather terrifying ending, definitely setting up for a sequel about the demons infiltrating the real world.

"I feel like this ending is bit too on the nose."

If Belle was being honest she really wasn't pay to much attention to the movie. She was rather distracted by Hugo, especially since they were so close to each other.

"You're very much allowed to stay. Unless some super secret Mockingbird business pops up."

"It was interesting that the father just acted so natural and didn't even slip up until the reveal and everything was spiraling out of control."

The movie continued with everything getting worse for the family.
