Luz and Amity had arrived at a milkshake parlor.
"So this is a kind of human restaurant?" Amity asked Luz.
"Yep!" said Luz. "They serve these amazing drinks called milkshakes!"
"Milkshake? Sounds delicious."
"It is! Come on! Let's go in!"
They went into the parlor and sat at a table booth.
"I can't believe we're finally having an actual date! And in my world no less!"
"I know!" said Amity. "I've been looking forward to this since… For a very long time now!"
A waiter came to the table. "Hello! What can I get for you today?!"
"We'll have one almond milkshake and two straws, please?!" said Luz.
"Ah! A shared shake for two?! Right! I'll get that for you right away!"
"Thanks!"
The waiter left the table.
"Hey Luz," said Amity, "are you sure no one's going to find us being together… weird?"
"Of course! No one's gonna be bothered! We'll be fine!"
"Yeah. You're right."
Luz suddenly started thinking. During her time in the Demon Realm, she'd noticed no one had any issues regarding same-sex couples. Willow has two dads, and Eda's former partner Raine Whispers is non-binary. It would make sense for Amity to be nervous about them being together in the Human Realm. And after all she did to make their relationship come to fruition. Their first contact, first dance, and first kiss.
As Luz formed a sly smile, Amity winced as she suddenly felt a strange feeling occurring. Underneath the table, she felt Luz's shoe rubbing against hers. "Uh Luz… What are you doing?"
"I'm just easing your tension a bit."
"How is this easing my tension?"
"Try not to read into it and just relax."
Amity did feel tense. But as she felt Luz's shoe rubbing hers, she felt calm. Was this some kind of human flirting gesture, she wondered.
"So tell me, Amity. What do you think of the Human Realm so far?"
"Well… It's very different from back home. Everything seems normal. Maybe too normal."
"Yeah. Take out the magic, creatures, and freakiness of it all, and you get one regular world. Really makes me miss the wonder of it all."
Seeing Luz thinking about Demon Realm made Amity glad. She repaid the thought by returning the shoe gesture, which surprised Luz. "You really liked it there, didn't you?"
"Yeah. I've met so many amazing and unique people there. It's pretty much become like a second home to me. Even if we do find a way back, the Portal Door's still gone. There's no bridge between our worlds. How would we even see each other?"
"I don't know. But no matter what happens, we'll find a way to be together and not be apart."
"You think so?"
"I know so."
Luz smiled at Amity's encouragement. Underneath the table, the girls lifted their shoes up so the soles could touch each other. Ever since they became friends, they've always managed to do what they possibly could to support each other and be there for one another. And becoming girlfriends ended making things better for the both of them.
The waiter came back to the table. "Here you go! One almond milkshake and two straws! Enjoy!"
"Thanks!"
The milkshake stood between them. Two straws stuck out of it and a cherry stood on top.
"Wow!" said Amity. "This looks nice!"
"Just wait 'til you taste it!"
Before partaking in their beverage, the girls held each other's hand as their arms rested on the table, commemorating the moment.
"Here's to Lumity's first official date!"
"And to not giving up on finding a way back home!" said Amity.
The girls commenced with drinking the milkshake. Their eyes stayed shut, savoring the sensation of consuming the sweet flavor of the shake and enjoying the moment of being together.
Just then, a flash suddenly went off. The girls turned to see none other than Willow standing by holding a camera. Amity immediately turned red, and Willow took another picture.
"That's definitely going into the scrapbook!" said Willow.
"Willow?! What are you doing here?!" said Amity.
"Sorry, but we couldn't bare to miss this precious moment!"
"We?" said Luz and Amity. They then noticed Hunter, Gus, and Vee were also there.
"Heyyyy!" said Gus.
"You two looked adorable!" said Vee.
"Believe me!" said Hunter. "I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen!"
"And you're right!" said Gus. "These so-called milkshakes are way delicious!"
Luz couldn't help but laugh. "You guys!"
Amity sighed. "So much for our first date."
"Hey. It was nice while it lasted."
"And look! You get an everlasting memory of it!" Willow said as she handed them one of the photos.
They held the photo and smiled at the moment of drinking their first milkshake together.
"Yeah," said Luz. "One to add to many more."
"Definitely," said Amity.
