Lisa eats some lunch with her friend Jane and we're joined by Lucifer. Then Michael decides to sit with them when a woman approaches them already angry.
"Dina what's your problem?" He looks at young lady folding her arms above her chest.
"Shouldn't we get busy with our assignment? And yet you're busy wasting your time with these pathetic scums." He carelessly points at Lisa who clears her throat in disbelief
"Wow." That's all Lisa said looking away.
"You have something to say?" He threateningly asked Lisa taking a step closer.
"Nope nothing at all. I just didn't know Angels could be so belittling." She replied which made Dina's face turn red with anger.
"Mind your words!" She yelled.
"Michael, we should get going." She turns on her heels to leave.
" Would you like to come with me? I think maybe you'll like it." He offered which offended Dina that she immediately stopped and looked at him like he was stupid.
"Where?" Lisa asked.
"I'll pick you up after class." He got up from his sitting position and readied to leave.
"What are doing?" Dina yells.
"What do you mean? I just invited her to join us." He responded.
" Exactly. Do you think I wanna be seen hanging around with a human?" She sneered at him.
" If you're so embarrassed then you can stay behind." He walked past her leaving Dina stunned. With the most wicked glare on her face she looks at Lisa.
"I see Michael might have taken a liking in you but don't you ever think even for a second he will go out with a scum like you. He's an angel and you're nothing so don't get any ideas." With that she left Lisa and Jane surprised.
"Wow.. crazy isn't she?" She turns to Jane who was still shocked.
"I'd ask you to listen to her though. She's kind of correct." Jane answered.
" He just asked me to join him, what was I supposed to say? No? He's just being nice that's all and you people are being paranoid."
" If you say so. I was just making sure you don't do anything you regret." Jane focused on her plate. Lisa didn't even take it to consideration. What could go wrong after all? She asked herself.

Soon enough their last class for the day had ended and Lisa went back to her room. She took a shower and started playing with Bella. Soon enough she heard a knock on the door and she rushed to open.
"Michael?" She smiles as he let's him inside.
"Are you bready?" He asked.
"Yeah sure." Lisa said as she straightened her clothes.
"She's cute." He points at Bella who visibly blushed.
"We should get going." He said and they both left the house. They find Dina already waiting for them outside.
She glares at Lisa but she pays no mind to her.
"I still can't believe you're bringing her along." Within a split second she disappeared to nowhere. Lisa was surprised that she physically jumped from her spot.
" Don't be scared and I'm pretty sure you'll like the place." He says taking her hand into his. Within no time they disappeared and appeared in a driveway. Dina had already disappeared into the crowd.
The place felt very familiar to her and she starts looking around in admiration.
"What is this place?" Lisa asked as they both walked across the street.
"Your home." He responded.
"Home? What do you mean home?" Lisa was even more confused than before. She was asking herself how is it possible that she's home.
"This is earth? Don't you recall?"
Hearing that her eyes opened wide.
"Earth? How's that possible?" But she was even more shocked with the man that was standing in front of her.
"Is this a joke?" She immediately broke his grip from her hand.
"No. We're just coming here on a mission. But we can't come as our selves we have to alter someone else so no one spots us and especially you since you were born here." He started talking in a very low voice as they were near a few humans.
Lisa also noticed that she was a different person. She was a young girl about 18 wearing a cocktail dress.
"Sorry are you guys on the list?" They are stopped by a bouncer in front of a door of a very big and beautiful house.
"Yes." His gaze was serious as he looks at the man and after a few moments of checking he lets them in.
It was uncomfortable at how people keep looking at them. She then realized they might think they are a couple and Michael as his altered self he looked quite old to date a young girl like Lisa.
"We should get to work." A lady she guessed was Dina yells at them.
"What are we doing here?" She whispers in Michael's ear.
" We're hear to crush an engagement." He chortled
" What?" Lisa looks at him dumbfounded.
He quickly pulls him near the pull where there were less humans.
"Look see that guy?" He points at a very well dressed man in an expensive suit.
"Yeah?" She motioned cordially.
"She's about to ask her girlfriend to marry her."
" What's wrong with that? Sounds like a very good thing." She said.
" The lady is a con artist. She's marrying him, so she can con him for his money." He explained and Lisa frowned angrily.
"Con artists.." she mumbled.
"So are you going to stop the engagement?"
He nodded.
" That's actually good. Why don't you guys help more people who are victims?"
" Because we are not assigned to help them. We can't just help without being told to or it will alter reality. There could be serious consequences, so we help those we can help and that's what keep life going." He explained.
" So if you're not assigned to help someone, you can't help them?"
" If it's not in our realm yes. We are not even allowed here , if we don't have a task. You only go out out of our world when you're sent on a task and then you come back."
" Wow." Lisa said disquiet by his words.
" Yep." Then they are interrupted by two figures walking towards them.
"I see you brought a rookie to the show. How pathetic." A man in a black suit looks at her in disgust.
"Don't you guys have anywhere to be?" Michael sharply folded his arms.
" Yes we do. Actually babe let's leave these losers they are not worth our time?" The lady tries to pull him away but he refused to move.
"So how's it feel to be home?" He chortled.
"Lucifer what are you doing here?" She whispered as low as she could. Even though they were in disguises, she could spot his immoral energy anywhere.
"You can call me tonight.. Nick. Anyways what'd you think bringing a human will help you?" He snorts which makes Michael even angrier.
"I don't even know what you're talking about but I know one thing.. you're doubting me."
" So you think you're capable?" He asked
" If you fail tonight , you owe me a favor." He was referring to Lisa but his eyes were fixed on Michael.
"If we pass, you owe me a favor." Lisa stood her ground.
" Dream on human." The lady chuckles and walks away.
" See you on the other side." He also walks away following the lady.
"Don't mind him, he's just trying to scare us." Michael assured.
" What was he going on a about anyways?" Lisa asked for clarity.
" He's our rival. Everytime you're given a task, you also need someone who will stop you from achieving your goals. We have to persuade the couple to not get engaged and they have to make sure they get together."
" I hate the fact that they sound like the good guys in the story." They walk back inside the party.
" Don't worry I'll deal with this, I'll find you after." Right then Michael disappeared into the crowd. Lisa looks around inspecting the whole place. She wanted to show them she could do this, and they might have underestimated her power. She walks outside and finds a garden and she bumps into a man and she almost fell on the floor. The man catches her in his strong arms and she looks up to see her savior.
"Careful there young lady." Lisa spots a very handsome man. His black eyes fixed into hers.
"Thank you." She looks away a bit embarrassed.
" Never seen you here before." He says.
" First time here." Lisa replied.
"Well the man who is throwing the party is my friend." His look has a hint of disappointment.
"Is something wrong?" She asked the man.
" Yes. He's marrying Aurora tonight"
"You don't seem trilled about it." She noticed as the man looked to be feeling a little down.
"Yeah. I really love Aurora but Matt is also my best friend. Then the thing is we just found out that Aurora is pregnant with my baby." The man confessed shocking the hell out of Lisa.
"What?" She asked the man.
"Please don't tell anyone about this. I can't risk my friend finding out." He said.
" But you love Aurora. Don't you want to be there for her and the baby?" The man looked down a little anxious.
" I do but I don't know what to do.. I don't know how to convince her." He responded.
" How long has this been going on?" Lisa queries out of curiosity.
" About a year. But she's only 4 months pregnant"
" Mhhhm." Lisa was already struck by how she was planning to bring Lucifer down.
