"Of course! I didn't know about the map part, but I accidentally touched your mark on my boob and was wondering what you were doing. Then one of my eyes could see you from above, but I was pretty high up and couldn't get any closer. The other thing was I couldn't see you when you went into Listenia's shop. You looked terrific in that suit, but it is far too plain for someone like Titania, I think at least," Eliza said, and I nodded.

"Thanks for the advice, Eliza. It's reassuring to know that I can count on you," I said with a smile, and Eliza beamed back at me.

"Of course! We are all in this together, after all. And you should know that whenever you need help or advice, I'm here for you," she said, giving me a warm hug.

I hugged her back, feeling a swell of emotion rise up in my chest. She was right, we were all in this together, and it felt good to have someone to rely on. No matter what happened, I could always trust Eliza to have my back and give me sound advice.

"I know I can," I said after a few moments, and Eliza smiled before pulling away.

"Now then, let's get you dressed for your date," she said and pulled me around.

After an hour of trying on overcoats, Eliza finally settled on something. It was getting to the point where I was just ready to pick anything off the rack, but Eliza told me that I couldn't just wear anything, so I put up with it.

After much deliberation, Eliza finally found the perfect coat for me. It was a deep navy color with gold buttons and a velvet collar. It had a fitted waist and was slightly longer than the average coat, making it look effortlessly elegant. The fabric was soft and luxurious, and the overall look was perfect for a date with Titania. I couldn't help but admire my reflection in the mirror, and I knew that Titania would love it.

"Well, what do you think?" Eliza asked, and I couldn't help but let out a low whistle.

"Wow, this is definitely the one. It's perfect for a date with Titania," I said with admiration in my voice. "It's classic yet stylish, giving off a sophisticated vibe that she'll surely appreciate." The fine craftsmanship of the overcoat also spoke for itself, and I knew once Titania saw it, she'd be impressed. I mean, she did make it, after all.

"Yeah, I think that she will like this," Eliza said, but then she took one of my big hands into her small ones. "Listen. I know you need to go find gifts for everyone tonight, but remember that is not the main point for you going out. Even if you don't get everything tonight, You can come tomorrow and show me this mall and... amusing park you were talking about, right?"

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Since time freezes when I am here, I can come in the morning to ensure that I get the best gifts and that nothing is rushed. I will be able to spend some time with you and the other girls as well, so it's gonna be way more fun than just shopping for gifts," I said, grinning at her. "There's an amusement park nearby where we can go on some rides and try out the food. And the mall has many shops that'll keep us busy for hours."

​ Eliza smiled wide and nodded her head vigorously. "That sounds like so much fun! I'm definitely in. But remember, don't forget to enjoy your date first and foremost. That's the most important thing," she said, and I nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, I won't forget," I assured her and hugged her.

"Good luck tonight," Eliza said, and I smiled as I walked out of the store.

I felt ready and confident to finally go on my date with Titania. With Eliza's help, I found the perfect coat, and I knew that no matter what happened, I could count on her support and advice. All I had to do now was put forth my best effort and show Titania the real me.

I opened a portal for Eliza, and she gave me a kiss before hopping through; then, I let it close as I walked over to a mirror to look at myself again.

It was weird to see myself dressed up like this, but I knew that Titania would appreciate how I looked, and that was all that really mattered.

Opening another portal, I stepped through to stand outside Titania's door and then knocked.

"You made it on time. Color me impressed," Titania said from behind me, and I turned from her bedroom door that I was facing.

Titania looked absolutely stunning in a silk dress that was as light and airy as a summer breeze. She had chosen a beautiful, ethereal blue-green color that perfectly complemented her skin tone and hair. Her delicate wings fluttered lightly at her back, giving her a mesmerizing angelic look. I couldn't help but be taken aback by her beauty, and I just stared at her in awe for a moment.

"Wow," I said, my voice filled with admiration. "You look absolutely stunning."

Titania smiled at me, and a slight blush rose to her cheeks. "Thank you," she said softly, seeming pleased with the compliment. "You don't look too bad yourself. I see you got all dressed up for our date." She moved closer to me and ran her hands over the fabric of the coat. "It's nice that you have such good taste. You look quite fetching," she said teasingly with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Well, thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you like it, but Eliza was the one that picked it out, and you were the one that made it," I said, and Titania gestured for a portal to open to a busy lit, up the street that was filled with Fairies and other Fae creatures and beasts.
