At midnight, David's phone alarm went off and he woke up from sleep immediately. He turned it off and logged in on Facebook to wish Stella happy Valentine's day. Her active status was turned off...so he never knew she was already online.
     "Happy Valentine's Day Cutie", he sent with two red heart emojis. Stella was online waiting to receive a text from David. When she saw he'd finally dropped a text, she jubilated silently.
     She checked out the message and saw the "Happy Valentine's day Cutie" he sent to her. She blushed.
     "Awnnn!", she reacted quietly, to avoid waking anyone up. David found out she'd seen the text he sent and was patiently waiting for her reply.
     Stella quickly began typing "Thank you..." but stopped. After a little thought over it, she decided to tease him instead and deleted what she'd already begun typing.
     "This little dude is awake by the time", she sent with three laughing emojis.
     David saw the text and smiled over it. "I know right now, you must be hiding in a tight corner to avoid being caught", he sent.
     Stella laughed and sent hers. They kept on chatting, no one feeling sleepy again.

     It was Valentine's night and Food Court restaurant was decorated in red and white. A private car drove into the surrounding and parked somewhere. David and Stella stepped out of the car and it drove away.
     David was on a black suit, white inner shirt with a red tie. Stella wore a very beautiful red gown with a simple but lovely makeover. She wore a silver-coloured shoe that glittered.
     "Let's go in Cutie", gested David. Stella brought out her hand and held David's as they walked in.
     They saw a free table with two chairs by the wall and went over there. People watched them in amazement, especially the adults.
     "That couple's very beautiful", commended a woman. Her husband nodded his head in support of what she said.
     A waiter attended to David and Stella. "What would you lovelies want?", he asked, giving both of them the menu list to check out.
     Stella used her finger to go down the list as she read through. It was only sausage rolls that got her interest and stopped going down when she saw it.
     David was a great fan of meat pies so he chose it anyways. "I'd love two meat pies", he placed his order.
     "I'd love two sausage rolls please", Stella placed hers.
     The waiter nodded his head. "But are they only what you guys want?", he questioned.
     "Uhmmm...", Stella went up the list, "I want the vanilla flavoured ice cream...the biggest size", she said.
     David looked at his list one more time. I'd like the chocolate flavoured ice cream...the biggest size", he said.
     "Your orders coming right up! Just give me a minute", he bowed and left.
     Stella looked round the building. David guessed she was mesmerized by the beauty. "It's extremely beautiful tonight right?", he asked. "Yeah!", she nodded, "I love it a lot", she said.
*                       *                      *
     Death jumped down from a tree to the ground. The people that saw it, immediately started running for their dear lives. Death chased after them, anyone it got close to, it would pounce on the person and bite off the head and swallow it whole.
     It ran into the road and wrecked havoc. He destroyed some vehicles and chewed off more heads, dumping the people dead on the road. People ran out of their cars to avoid being eaten up. All these were happening in a place close to Food Court.
     David and Stella were now done having their snacks and as a waiter came to clear up the table, David paid the bills. "Can we go outside and have a little stroll?", asked David, pointing at the door.
     Stella nodded her head in affirmative and both of them stood up together and walked out of the building.
     While outside, still in the surrounding of Food Court, David had a breath of fresh air. "The weather is wonderful tonight...every breath is a breath of fresh air", he said.
     "Hey David!", she stopped walking and turned to him. David stopped and faced, waiting to hear what she wanted.
     "This is my first Valentine's date in my first relationship with any guy", she began. David nodded in agreement.
     "I never knew I would be in a relationship with any guy before the age of twenty, when I'm probably in the University...that was my targeted age", she continued. David gave out a shy smile.
     "I don't want to lose you, because you're a very close and important person to me", she said another. "I hope you feel the same way?", she questioned, giving him a stare.
     "Of course I feel the same way! I know why I asked you out to be my girlfriend...it's because I feel the same way you feel", replied David.
     Stella felt satisfied with the answer. She picked up David's hand and held them, looking at his face. "Let's make a promise pumpkin", she said.
     "What promise babe?", asked David, so curious to know the promise.
     "Let's make a pinky promise to each other that we'll be by each other's side especially when it's needed", she said.
     "That's nothing...let's make the promise", replied David without hesitation, bringing out his pinky finger.
     "You're sure you don't have to think about this promise?", asked Stella.
     "You're my world...and once it concerns my world, I don't need to think about such promises", replied David, showing her his pinky finger.
     "Okay pumpkin...", Stella brought out hers. They had their pinky promise.
     Stella heaved a sigh of relief;"I feel more satisfied now."
     They had a long stare at each other, getting lost in each other's eyes. Stella knew David wanted kissing her but was scared to make a move.
     "I'm all yours...don't worry", she said, assuring him to do whatever he wanted.
     David was just busy making short chortles to try cover his shy feelings, trying not to look Stella at the face.
     "Who's this mate trying to joke with?", she said to herself, looking at David with a slightly frowning face. She got fed up and made him look straight at her. "Oh come on! We didn't come over here to joke around", she said.
     Immediately, the two of them could hear the sound of chaos at a distance. They noticed people running out of their cars for their lives. They soon saw a large crowd of people running away from something.
     Fear gripped the two and Stella held David's hand very tightly. Death suddenly jumped into the scene, attacking more and more people.
     They got even more frightened on seeing Death. Stella managed to swallow up her fear and stammered;"That creature that killed Ratboy is here."
     "Oh no! How will I escape from Stella's sight?", David thought.
     Death jumped over the running people and landed in front of them. As it continued devouring, some ran away, some people ran into Food Court compound.
     Stella, on seeing the large crowd coming towards them, held David's hand even tighter. "Let's go inside!", she shouted.
     The crowd, on seeing the large crowd coming towards them, held David's hand even tighter. "Let's go inside!", she shouted.
     The crowd bumped into them before they got to the door. Stella fell to the ground while David knelt down after the push. David saw Stella in pains and quickly wanted helping her but stopped.
     He looked round and saw people in havoc and turned back to Stella. "I'm sorry Cutie...but I have to go", he said to himself. With a sad face, he quickly stood up and ran away, leaving her on the ground.
     Soon after, a young dude who was running into the building, saw Stella and decided to give her a helping hand. He rolled her over and helped her to get up. Stella opened her eyes and got the shock of her life when it was a stranger she saw.
     She became worried and looked round for David. The boy saw the shock on her face as she searched round for someone. "Who are you searching for?", he asked with great concern.
     Stella grabbed him by his shirt. "Did you see any guy with a black suit of my age?", she asked desperately.
     The stranger shook his head to mean no. "Where did David go?", she almost shedded tears.
     Suddenly, there was a loud shout in the air. It was Ratboy in the air. He landed on the ground and Death stopped devouring anyone and faced him. People gathered by the sides of the road to watch what would happen. They were surprised to see another Ratboy. Silence then reigned over the place at the moment.
     "Another Ratboy?", said Stella in disbelief. "How's that possible? Ratboy is back", said the stranger happily.
     Stella was now more worried over Ratboy's survival. "Will he be able to defeat this monster?", she thought.
     Death laughed in mockery at Ratboy. That was the only thing it could do...make sounds...but can't ever sat a word correctly.
     Ratboy stood quietly, waiting for Death to make a move. Death carried up a car with one hand and looked at him. Ratboy was ready to dodge the car, supposing it was to be thrown at him.
     Death flinged its hand and Ratboy wanted running away but found out the car was still in the firm grip of Death. Death smirked at him and turned to where Stella was standing.
     "Huh?", David got confused. He began running towards Stella.
     Death threw the car to that direction. His throw was at a very fast rate. Stella and the boy with her began running away as the car was quickly landing towards them.
     On the verge of crashing on them, Ratboy came to the rescue. He ran in between them and the car. He raised his hands up to hold off the car out of reflexes. He closed his eyes to avoid seeing the car landing on him.
     He realized nothing had happened to him and opened up his eyes to witness what must had happened. He saw himself holding the car easily and firmly high up in the air. He was taken aback by such experience.
     "Okay...I know I've got sticky gloves to stick to things firmly if I want to, but never knew I've got super strength as great as this", he said.
     He gently kept the car on the ground. Stella and the other dude thanked him for saving their lives. "Nah...it's nothing! It's my responsibility", he replied.
     Ratboy turned to Death, who was wearing an emotionless face at the moment. "I'm not afraid if you", Ratboy said within himself.
     He ran up to Death and had the first strike before Death could see him coming. Death made his moves to retaliate but Ratboy dodged all of them.
     With annoyance, Death decided to fire lasers at him without him expecting it. Ratboy dodged another strike and wanted making his own attack when he noticed Death's eyes turn red.
     He quickly threw a back flip over Death and it fired the lasers at the abandoned cars in the street. Ratboy gave it a DDT and Death fell to the ground.
     Death quickly stood up though and wanted to attain Ratboy one more time, this time, completely outraged. Ratboy dodged again by squatting low and then, used his leg to bring Death down by kicking him at the legs.
     Death still got up immediately but was given a surprise attack Ratboy. Ratboy used his hands to fling Death's hands far away from its trunk and gave it three powerful punches that made it to fall down. This time, it was too weak to get up.
     Ratboy wanted punching it to the ground but it vanished and he punched the ground rather. He jumped up in pain, holding the affected hand. "Ouch!", he yelled.
     People went to their loved ones that were killed by Death and were grieving by their sides. Some people walked up to Ratboy and thanked him for saving their arse.
     Ratboy turned to the direction of Stella. She was smiling at him. She waved at him, including the boy beside her. She shouted something to him but he wasn't able to hear her. He only read her lips and knew she was saying "Thank you!". He bowed his head slightly in return.
     Ratboy looked up at a street light and ran to it. He climbed up the pole quickly to the top and jumped over to the next, and to the next continuously, until he vanished into thin air.
