Later that night the Megido Sisters were waiting for their dates. Damara, the eldest was wearing a simple Japanese styled dress. It was torn at the side enough room to let her legs move free. Her hair was tied up in the usual style, but was a bit cleaner. The younger sister, Aradia, was in a simple red ruffled dress. Her hair was tied up behind her not in a bun, but in a high pony tail. As they waited for each other's dates, they made small talk, simple since both are very different.
Eventually someone knocks on the door. Damara walks over and opens the door, she smiles seductively and grabs one of the two boys standing outside. The one she garbed was in a red sweater and didn't even seem to be dressed for dancing. Damara wraps her arm around his turns and waves leaving Aradia and the other person. The other person, who was in fact Dirk, was dressed in his usual baggy clothes, they were a bit nicer then usual, but hey he tried. He put out his hand and Aradia playfully slapped it for a high five. The turn and walk on down the road.
"Ready to go get our dance on?"
"Hell yeah, let's tear up the dance floor and show them humans what we reapers got."
On their way to the teen club they ran into a few other couples on the way, such as Dave with Karkat, and Feferi and Sollux. Once they got there they ran into many of the other couples. Only one person was missing, Eridan. No one cared though. When they went in everything was already loud and warm. It was kept cool temperature, but with the number of people and the full force of dancing made the room feel warm and muggy, much nicer then the bitter cold from outside. Everyone was paired off dancing like no tomorrow with their dates or someone else's date. Aradia was just moving with the music not really dancing with anyone. The time ticked away and soon enough the club was closing and everyone had to leave.
The few remaining friends soon clustered together shuffling their way down to the movie theaters. They were the last ones in seeing the midnight showing of some popular movie that everyone wanted to see. A few of the couples who weren't really couples threw popcorn at the couples making out. Aradia was having a blast throwing popcorn at Sollux seeing it stick in his hair in awkward angels. She giggled a bit before hearing a ding in her head and a message from higher-ups that she and Dave had a job.
"Pssst, Dave...pssst." Aradia whispered as she threw popcorn at the blond in front of her. He turned around and looked like he was about to murder her. She only smiled and whispered to him trying not to get any of their friends to hear. "We have a job to do. So after the movie." Dave gives her a curt nod before turning back the movie.
A long time later when the movie has finished everyone started to split up and walking home. Soon it was just Dave and Aradia. They nodded at each other before heading into an alleyway. Soon both were in the colors of black and a shade of red. Dave had his hair slicked back with a black suit with a gear shaped symbol on his breast pocket matching the color of his bright red tie. Aradia was in a simple black trench coat with maroon swirls coming from the bottom, underneath she wore a simple white dress shirt and a pair of pants that were simple in design. On the trench coat there was a gear shaped symbol as well. At both of the twos hips was a simple pocket watch and chain. Soon enough they vanished.

A few moments later the two were standing on the roof of a building. Their silhouettes can be seen in the windows of all of the hospital that stands in front of them silently. Suddenly they are in a room. Everything is dark, but the lights from the heart monitor. The heart monitor was connected to a young child, no older then seven, how tragic that it was his time. The child looks deathly ill and in pain, in all truthfulness, his death would be a blessing.
Dave walked forward and raised a broken sword high above his head bringing it down slicing the child right in half. Then, there is silence. Not a breath was taken. The monitor stops and even the night seemed eerie, more than it ever has. Time has stopped. A white figure slowly leaves the body, it has the same shape only, its healthier.
Aradia stepped forward and knelt in front of the child smiling sweetly. "Hello, I'm Aradia!" The child looks at her slightly confused looking like he did not understand.
"Do you feel better now?" She asks in a caring voice. The child nods then and smiles. "Good, we made sure you did!" She stands up and puts her hand out for the child to take. He looked hesitant and looks at her face.
"Am I going somewhere?" Aradia nods silently. "What about mommy and daddy?" This part always broke her heart. When a child asks about their family.
"You are going to a better place. There you will see your grandparents again! And your dog and your cat!" The child pouts a bit.
"What about mommy and daddy?" He asks again.
Aradia stays silent before responding. "They will meet you there in due time. For now we must go." The child takes her hand and disappears leaving a small marble. She picks it up and sets it in her pocket. Soon enough there was a humming sound of the heart monitor saying the child's heart has stopped. Sudden footsteps are heard running into the room. Doctors trying to bring the child back. Though. The child has already passed. Aradia smiled a very bittersweet smile. Dave put his hand on her shoulder as a way to show it was time to go. She nods at him and they leave the hospital.
They had no more jobs that night. Both went to their respected homes. It was once again quiet. And the city slept on.
