So far, everything is going smoothly throughout the day. Cecelia was smiling in the means of being able to know that everyone is safe. In secret, she she couldn't wait to go out for dinner with Endeavor. To make it unnoticeable, she arranged for Rika to go on a date with one of their former classmates named Kise Ryota to the movies. By the time the movies should be done, the dinner with Endeavor would've ended. Rika seems to be nervous because this will be her very first date. Cecelia added in this idea in mind as she said this: "If the fan girls see you with Kise-chan, you should show them your Hero License. Who knows if those girls are your fans?" She suggested it because of Kise's reputation as a high-paid model with a big heart and a talented basketball player at Teiko. Rika giggled as she's fixing her hair to her liking for the date: "Hehehe! I mean you'll never know!" As soon as Kise drove in his fancy car and picked up Rika for the movies before dinner, this serves as a cue for Cecelia to arrive at the Cosplay Cafe where Endeavor is waiting at the entrance. As soon as the decently fancy car is parked and the door opened up, this is when she appeared wearing a beautiful strapless mermaid-tail dress of sunset red with designs of gold. She wears this half of a red amulet around her neck. Endeavor was left in awe but quickly gain back his composure as he said to her: "You look beautiful." Cecelia smiled with a polite bow: "Thank you. And whether you're wearing a formal suit or portraying yourself as the Flame Hero that you are, you do look rather dashing." At this time, she tries to look calm and collected, but she could feel her heart secretly leaping for joy as Endeavor treats her like a lady by even pulling out the chair for her to sit. Waiting for their orders after being served with the beverages of their choices, Cecelia said this to Endeavor: "It has been about a week since Sakura and Kirishima got married. So far, he's consistently keeping his word on taking care of her as a good husband should." He said softly after sipping on his glass of cool water: "Hmm...as he should. I know that wasn't my place to say, but at least he treats her like a princess and as a queen as she rightly deserved." Time has passed and he seemed to be doing better himself as he added this in: "At least, my children from my first marriage know the concept of forgive and forget...but not Toya, for he has been hurt the most." Cecelia almost forgot that Toya Todoroki is also Dabi who is the member of the former group of villains that now called themselves the League of Anti-Heroes. She said after the waiter brought in their orders: "I'm sure that he will come around. He needs time to heal and forcing him to forgive wouldn't do any good." He nodded his head while drinking his green tea: "That is true." Soon, there was a awkward but strangely pleasant silence for a bit. It seems as if they both have a lot in their mind but neither of them was sure of who should speak first.
Meanwhile, Rika just got back from the movies with Kise as she's holding onto his hand when walking to the Cosplay Cafe. As if right on cue, Hawks flew right in and held the door open for the couple. Rika said in confusion when looking inside: "Umm...why is Cecelia here with Endeavor?" Cecelia was in shock as she didn't think that time will fly by really quick. Hawks seemed to pick up the tension and said with a chuckle and a smile on his face: "Sorry for the confusion. I actually arranged a get-together for just the three of us as our way of thanking her for helping us earlier. Though I was running in late because of some patrolling errands on my back." Cecelia silently sighed in relief because Hawks had just saved her the awkwardness as he's excellent in coming up with lies. As much as this is annoying of Hawks to show up unannounced, the Flame Hero himself lets it slide because Hawks had indeed save them both from trouble. Rika shrugged and giggled: "Teehee! Okay!" He sat down at the table space on one side between the couple as she as lucky to order another dish that's meant for him. Just then, a voice of a woman with a lovely British accent spoke up: "Sixteen boneless chicken wings with curly fries and the sauce of sweet and spicy on the side." Hawks began to spoke as he turned to the side: "That would be my order-" He stopped on his tracks when his eyes landed on such a vision in front of him. This woman is tall with a slender frame and a large bust. She has a long white hair with an Ahoge on top of her head and her hair is tied in a low ponytail by a black ribbon and two front locks tied by a flower-modified ribbon. She also has a pair of blue eyes. She wears a white detached collar with black frills and a purple diamond and a white strapless with black frills and white cloth wrapped around her waist, white frilled skirt with purple frill prints, white thigh-high socks, black high heels, white elbow gloves with diamonds and a white sunhat with black frills. Cecelia said with a surprised expression on her face: "Illustrious? You work with Ariella in the cafe too?" She's allowed to call her aunts by their Pro Hero names in the Cosplay Cafe since she was a young child. Illustrious giggled with a soft smile on her face: "On Mondays and Wednesdays as well as Fridays." Endeavor turned to the corner of his left eye to see that Hawks has turned from his cool demeanor to a blushing mess. This is pretty much a dinner night to remember.
