"Cool, we'll be back." Gloxinia said, as Gerheade and him headed to the kitchen. The doorbell rings again. Diane opens the door and greets her new guests.

"Hey, glad you all could make it." She said. "Me too," Arthur said. "Me three," Jericho replied. "Hey, don't forget me!" Hauser said, irritated. "Of course not, Hauser." Diane said with a fake cheery tone; she didn't like the feeling she got from him. Arthur dropped the keys into the basket. "I don't know about you two, but I need a drink," Announced Jericho. "Alright, alcohol!" Hauser said, throwing a fist up in the air. The trio headed to the kitchen and waved at the semi-familiar faces of Helbram, Harlequin, Gloxinia and Gerheade. But there were two new faces that none of the three have ever seen.

"Who are you two?" Arthur asked the couple. "I'm Meliodas and this is Elizabeth." Meliodas announced and put a hand out to shake. Arthur accepted and shook his hand. "Hey, I'm Arthur and those two behind me, are Jericho," she waved, "and Hauser." Hauser waved and said, "It's awesome to meet you guys." Jericho interjected. "Yeah, especially since Gowther and Guida are on a business trip." Meliodas asked, "They're normally here?"

"Yes, along with some people" Hauser answered, "but their business started to take off-." Arthur interrupted, "Hauser, don't you know it's impolite to talk about a person's business?" He smiled and brought his hand up into his neck. "Oh, yeah… My bad." Arthur said, "I swear sometimes you're worse than Jericho about it." She replied, slightly angrily. "HEY! I resent that remark. I've been working on it." Arthur said, "That's true." Hauser said, turning his head towards Jericho. "HEY! I've been working on it too." She said, "Oh, yeah?" He responded. "Yeah." They proceed to get into a small argument.

Arthur makes his drink, a sangrita and heads back to the new couple. "Sorry about them. They've always been that way but they're good friends." He tells the couple. "I bet they are. I forgot to mention she's my girlfriend," the outgoing blonde responded. "Awesome, she's cute by the way." Arthur replied, looking at Elizabeth and winked at her. The silver haired cutie blushed and replied, "T-thank you." He took one of her hands, brought it up to his face and kissed it. "You are very welcome." She squeaks and asks her boyfriend. " M-Meliodas, why are s-so many guys k-kissing my hand?"

"Easy," he responded. "They're saying that they are interested if you are." She looked at her boyfriend in shock. "Really?" She gasped slightly. "It's true," Elizabeth switched her attention from her boyfriend to the purple-eyed man called Arthur told her. "It's less pressure than asking." He smiled. "O-Oh… Yeah, your right." She smiled sheepishly, not sure how to react. "Also it's best to discuss it first with your partner before accepting the offer." He replied, still smiling at her. "T-that makes s-sense." Elizabeth stuttered, taking a couple of gulps of her drink to calm down.

"Looks like you're starting to run low." Arthur commented.

She looked at her glass and noticed it was nearly empty.

"Yes… you are right." She giggled. "Finally relaxing?" Meliodas commented. "Yes, a little bit." She replied with a nod. "Hey Arthur," Meliodas said. "Yeah?" Arthur answered with a question. "Could you pour her a glass of pink moscato?" Meliodas asked. "Would love to." The purple eyed man replied. "M-Meliodas, where are you going?" Elizabeth asked. "I gotta go talk to Harlequin." He answered. "Why?" She asked, confused. The two are not exactly friends. "This beer is delicious. I want to know where they got it from." He answered. "Oh… well Ok." Elizabeth said, knowing how much Meliodas loves his beers.

Meliodas left the area and headed to where Harlequin was at, still chatting with the first guest, Helbram. "So, ready for another glass?" Arthur asked. "Y-Yes, I am." She smiled weakly, her nerves were coming back. "Well, let's head to the kitchen then." He said. He held out a hand. "May I?" He asked. "Um...sure." She replied and took a hold of his hand. He smiled and guided her to the kitchen. Where they saw that Hauser and Jericho were making out in the dining room.

Elizabeth blushed and looked away, letting Arthur's hand lead her into the kitchen. "So pink moscato?" Arthur asked her, as he let go of her hand. "Huh? ...Oh yes. Thank you." she said. He grabbed the bottle, opened it and held a hand out. She handed her glass to him, he filled it up, and handed it back to her. She took a few sips and relaxed. "Feel better?" He asked. "Yes, I feel much better." She smiled.

Arthur was about to ask her a question but the doorbell rang again. Elizabeth said, "I'm going to go see who that was." Arthur replied, "Ok, I'm going with you." She agreed and started to walk to the door with him, "Ok." Meliodas saw them, done with his conversation and decided to sneak up behind Elizabeth. He walked behind them, put his beer down and waited for the door to open. Diane and Harlequin opened the door and greeted the new couple called Escanor and Merlin. Before Elizabeth could introduce herself however…

"BOO!" He shouted as he grabbed Elizabeth's ass.

She screamed and her drink spilled. Some people giggled. Diane scolded Meliodas and Arthur was confused by Meliodas's action. "Does he usually do that to you?" He asked. "Once in a while. Oh my Goddess, I made a mess." She started to fret. "It's okay, I'll get it," Diane said. "I made the mess; I should be the one to clean it up." Elizabeth said.

"Well, ok. Arthur, can you show Ellie where the cleaning supplies are at?" Diane asked. "Sure," Arthur responded, "I'll show her." Arthur reached for her hand and pulled her with him into the hall, passing through the kitchen. They were still able to hear Diane giving Meliodas an earful.

"Man, he really made her mad." He shook his head and took a few gulps of his drink. "Alright," He announced and opened the door. "Let's see, paper towels aaaand… there it is." He said as he went to pick up the cleaning supplies. "I-I should probably get that," Elizabeth said. "Ok," he responded. So she put her glass down and picked up the cleaning supplies. He put his glass down next to hers and walked behind her as she walked back to the entrance. "I'm sorry a-about the mess; I'm Elizabeth," she said to the couple. "It's quite alright." The strong man called Escanor said softly to her. "It's not your fault." Merlin, the scandly dressed woman, said.

Elizabeth quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor, picked up the trash along with the cleaning supplies and headed back to the closet with Arthur right behind her. Arthur opened up the closet and Elizabeth threw away the trash and put the cleaning supplies back where they belong. Arthur grabbed his glass and Elizabeth's, not suspecting that someone spiked their drink…
