Rose spent most of the day getting ready for her date, she re-did her hair over and over, not satisfied with the results. Her room was a mess due to the hundreds of clothes she tried on, looking for the perfect outfit.

It wasn't till 1700 (5 pm) that she finally left her room ready for her date. When she walked into the living room she saw Acheron sitting on the sofa, while Athena seemed to be pestering him about something.

As she approached, she caught a few of Acheron's words directed towards Athena.

"… Fine Athena! I'll take you out to play on another occasion okay?"

"But Darling! At least give me access to monitor your whereabouts!" Athena said,

"No," Acheron said firmly and decisively,

Before she could say anything back to argue, Acheron stood up as he had noticed Rose approaching them.

" How do I look, Lord Acheron?" asked Rose, a blush permeating across her face,

Acheron gave her a warm smile,

"Beautiful as ever, Rose"

Rose wore a beautiful, black and red dress, her long red hair was curly, reaching to her mid-back. She held a beautiful pair of Gucci high heels in her hand, as she knows it will be troublesome going up the stairs into the motel room.

"You look handsome as always, Lord Acheron," Rose said,

Acheron wore an all-black Armani suit with a white tie, his usual Viking braids look was nowhere to be seen, as his hair was now sleeked back with only a dragon ribbon holding his hair together near his lower back.

Acheron walked up to Rose and put his elbow out for her to hold, she smiles as she put her arm through the nook of his elbow.

"Shall we set off then?" Acheron asked,

"Of course, Lord Acheron," Rose said,

Athena looked at their backs as they headed out, she puffed her cheeks out in a cute manner before complaining to the wind,

"Darling better make it up to me!... I won't be happy unless I collapse a whole country's economy!"

Athena disappeared after her country destroying statement, leaving Leon who just happened to hear her as he walked into the leaving room, covered in a cold sweat.

"I got to make sure she doesn't pick this country… I'll talk to Dad about it later…"

Acheron and Rose walked out the motel room side by side, Charlie who always seemed to be working alongside the old man, could help but let out a whistle full of appreciation for the two walking out.

"She is so beautiful Boss! You sure are lucky!"

Rose blushed, while Acheron only smiled at the young man's comment. As they walked out the motel lobby into the street, they heard a distant slap and the young man once again arguing with the old man.

Just outside, Leon's chauffeur was waiting for them beside the limo, he gave a slight bow before opening the door for both of them.

"What would be your destination, sir?" the driver asked,

"The London Eye," Acheron said,

"Certainly, sir"

The driver got into the limo and headed straight for the London Eye. Inside the limo, Acheron sat next to Rose, as usual, Acheron gazed out the window watching the city pass by, feeling fully relaxed.

On the other hand, Rose could stop fidgeting because of her nervousness, she had dreamed of this moment for so long, yet now that it is finally happening, she had no idea what to do.

'Should I start a conversation?.... What would we talk about?.... Ahhh! I don't know! Quick! Think of something Rose! You stupid bitch!'

"I heard that four people were stabbed in Paris this week, Lord Acheron" Rose said in her panic,

'Really, Rose?....Stabbings on your first date? Way to go!...' Rose sarcastically thought to herself,

"Really? Interesting! Do you think it could be some serial stabber?" Acheron asked,

"Umm… I'm not sure of the exact events that transpired, but I will look into when we return" Rose said,

'Phew! Good thing that Lord Acheron found it interesting or that would have been awkward…' Rose thought,

Silence permeated the ride until Rose finally gathered the courage to ask the question that had been bothering her for a while now.

"Lord Acheron?"

"Yes, Rose?" Answered Acheron,

"Why are you taking me out on a date? you once said you would never date another family member under 25… you have never broken your own rules before" Rose said,

Acheron turned to look at her, Rose had looked down burying her chin to her chest, she dared not look up at Acheron, she hoped this want all a ploy of some kind.

"It is true that I hardly break any of my own rules… but your 25th birthday is just 3 months away, there is nothing wrong with giving you an early birthday present," Acheron said with a big smile,

Rose widened her eyes and looked up only to see Acheron's big smile,

"Do you mean…" Rose started to say before Acheron interrupted her,

"Let's see how tonight goes, yes?" Acheron said,

A beautiful smile full of joy formed on Rose's face, she lunged at Acheron and proceeded to cuddle up with him, it appears in her mind that she and Acheron were now an official couple even though Acheron never said anything of that sort.

Seeing the way Rose was acting, he couldn't help but chuckle. He then looked out the window, only to see the approaching London Eye.

Acheron looked down at Rose who had a content smile on her face and thought,

'Well, let's get this date started'

From the moment they got out the limo, Rose never left Acheron's side once, she had attached herself to Acheron's arm like a koala.

Nothing could ruin her mood, she was so happy and giddy, that even when a child spilled their ice cream all over her expensive heels, she just laughed and waved it off like her heels didn't cost more than ten thousand USD.

Even Acheron was a little surprised how good her mood was, when two men wanted to approach her and had the intention of feeling her up, she just swiftly sent a chop to the back of their neck rendering them unconscious.

Be mindful that any man that has tried to touch her before, other than Acheron and family, has been dealt with ruthlessly by her.

After the had taken a couple of trips in the London eye, Acheron walked with Rose towards Jubilee Park just south of their location, it was merely a 2-minute walk.

As they walk through the park, Acheron noticed plenty of street musicians, as he walked by them, he generously dropped 100 pounds in each of their collection boxes. Money didn't matter to Acheron, he had more than plenty of it.

As they neared the middle of the park, they encountered something quite displeasing to their eyes.

Just a couple of meters ahead of them, there was a man in his mid-30's, that seemed to be yelling at a young couple, young enough to still be in high school.

As they neared, Acheron furrowed his eyebrows, clear displeasure on his face. Rose on the other hand was staring at the man coldly, clearly what the man was saying had angered her.

It wasn't just them either, people that were walking by or in the vicinity had clear disgust for the man's words.

The man was yelling at them and calling them all kinds of offensive words just because they were gay. That's right, the young couple was a pair of high school girls that were out on a date but had the bad luck of running into this man, who had something against homosexuality.

Acheron looked at Rose,

"You know what to do, right?"
