Once the populace of Heaven returned to their home, the Four Archangels made an announcement to all the Angels that God was gone and that He was not coming back. They reassured their brothers and sisters that they would lead Heaven as viceroys and that things would function as they normally did, but the Angels seemed to be more interested in the Putto being held in Michael's arms. He told them of God's last creation and that they named her Aziza, causing the angels to begin singing in praise about how perfect and beautiful the young Angel was.

When Aziza was old enough to walk on her own, her brothers began teaching her something of their individual interests. Michael trained her in combat and gifted her a golden staph to use as she grew up. Gabriel often took her to Heaven's archives and showed her the books he scribed. Raphael taught her how to tend to the wounds of any injured Angels that came home from Earth. Lucifer taught her how to master her wings and fly like a hawk.

Aziza was now a pre-teen and she took a strong liking to the Cupids and their work on Earth. In all the time of her existence, she was never allowed to travel to Earth, though she desperately wanted to. She had a television and access to the internet, both gifts from Gabriel, so she knew of how the Humans entertained themselves, but she still had a craving to see them in person.

"I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave

'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry

If you go, I'm going too, uh
'Cause it was always you, alright

And if I'm turnin' blue, please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby"

Aziza was mindlessly flying through the clouds as she sang her favorite song, the melody filling her ears through the white over-ear headphones she was wearing. She was alone in her flight and that's exactly what she wanted. It was still very early and the Angels wouldn't begin working for another few hours, so she had the entirety of Heaven at her disposal.

"And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more

Might not be long, but baby, I

Don't wanna say goodbye

Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone

Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better"

Aziza drifted upwards for about 50 feet, then she stopped, floating in the air as the song ended. When the next one played, she smiled and let the new tune take over. She dived back down and let herself fall until she was close to the cloudy ground, then she pulled up, gliding high in the air. She was currently listening to Aaliyah's At Your Best (You Are Love) and her wings were flapping in tune with the slow beat of the romantic song. Her wings were as white as moonlight with trimmings the color of sunshine and she had three sets of three, much more than any of her brothers or the Angels. Her wings sprouted not too long after her last birthday and she adored them.

"Aziza!" She suddenly heard Gabriel's voice in her head and stopped mid-air; she pulled her headphones off to rest them around her neck. "Where the heck are you, kiddo?"

"I'm flying above Heaven, I'll be home in three minutes." She quickly replied and made a beeline towards Heaven's quarters.

When Aziza arrived back home, she found Gabriel waiting for her in her room and he gave her a hug when he saw her. "Looks like someone had fun." He said as he plucked some tree leaves from her light hair. "I thought you finally had enough and ditched us."

"I would never." She smiled at him. "Did you need something?"

"Follow me." He instructed, leading her out of their quarters.

Gabriel traveled to the Commander's Chambers, which was Commander Michael's office when he was training the Angels. When they got there, they found their eldest brother sitting at his desk and looking at a clipboard in his hands.

"Michael." Gabriel greeted his brother and Michael looked up, smirking at his siblings. "I figured you wanted to tell her before I did."

"Tell me what?" Aziza asked, curious about what was going on.

"We all sat down and discussed it." Michael began. "And we all decided that you are old and mature enough to travel to Earth."

Aziza's jaw dropped, but her wings were excitedly twitching and her middle pair were trying to take flight, but she wouldn't allow them to take control. She couldn't believe she was going to go to Earth and see the Humans and their homes and their families and pets!

"Whenever you're ready, you can leave with a group of Cupids and stay on Earth for one week." Michael concluded his earlier thought and couldn't help but smile at his sister's excitement. Gabriel was smiling at her too and she skipped over to him to give him a hug, them climbed over Michael's desk to hug and thank him as well.

Aziza then ran back to her room and began backing a bag filled with clothes she'd be wearing for a week, toiletries, her credit card and finally, her identification card. She pulled the pink duffle over her shoulder and took flight, her destination: Heaven's Gates.
