The scene changes again. Now Lucifer strolls-or more accurately, glides-down the sidewalk.

Approached by two female angels, the Seraphim Sisters, Sera, and Serenity. Sera, the responsible seraphim princess and eldest of the sisters, is Halo City's ruler and possesses the gift of song. Serenity, the youngest, bursts with energy and kindness. They are both daughters of Seraphiel, the eldest of the seraphim.

As Lucifer descends, the two angels, Sera and Serenity, approach. Sera, a grey-skinned angel with feather-like hair, and Serenity, a grey-skinned angel with shoulder-length white hair. Both of their six wings rustle slightly.

They greet him, "Good morning, Lucifer." He tips his hat, waking Basil, who was sleeping on his hat. Basil perches on Lucifer's head and looks at the two angels with curiosity.

Lucifer responds, "Good morning, ladies. How goes the duties?" Serenity smiles kindly at him, her eyes shining.

"We're doing well, Lucifer. Always a pleasure to serve the Lord," she grins mischievously.

He nods, "That's the truth."

Lucifer turns to Sera, "Sera, may I ask you a question? One pertaining to seraphim."

She nods, her wings fluttering slightly. "Of course, Lucifer. What is it that you wish to know?" She straightens up, her posture becoming more regal.

He asks, "So what does being a seraphim mean for me? I mean, they usually guard our Lord, but I haven't done much guarding. Plus, I'm an archangel."

She thinks a moment, "Lucifer, while I know and I'm sure you know the roles of archangels and seraphim. The thing is, no one other than the Lord Himself truly knows your purpose. Or the reason why you uniquely are a seraphic archangel. But what I can assume is that you are destined for great things."

He smiles, nods, thanks them for their time. Then Michael appears from the distance and begins running towards Lucifer.

Once he catches up, he says, "Hey Luci! (Formally) Sisters." Sera bows respectfully, and Serenity simply waves.

The four of them continue to walk and talk for some time. Later, Sandalphon approaches the group.

She says, "Hey, Lucifer. Can I talk to you? In private."

He looks back at the group and shrugs. The two of them walk in a different direction, leaving Michael and the Seraphim Sisters.

The scene follows Lucifer. As they walk, Lucifer notices Sandalphon's eyes flicker towards his, but she quickly hides it behind a mask of professionalism. She clears her throat and begins, "Lucifer, I need your help with something important."

He raises an eyebrow, intrigued, "What is it?"

She doesn't reply. She continues leading him farther into the woods.

Eventually, they come upon a clearing full of animals. She takes a seat on a tree stump. "I have a problem, Lucifer. I need your expertise on a matter that is concerning me."

Lucifer sits down next to her, intrigued. "What kind of matter is it?"

She answers, "Animals! Specifically their babies. I find them fascinating and... amazing. And I was wondering if you could use some of your powers to... (she sighs) summon some animals?"

Lucifer looks at her with a raised eyebrow. "Summon animals? Are you sure you want me to do that?"

Sandalphon nods vigorously. "Yes, yes! It's important that I find out more about these creatures and their ways. Will you do it for me?"

Lucifer considers her request for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I'll do it. Just because you asked." Sandalphon beams with joy and gratitude, thanking him profusely.

Lucifer grins mischievously. "But don't get too excited, sis. Wouldn't want you passing out from excitement." Sandalphon's face falls slightly at his comment, but she quickly recovers.

Lucifer uses his animamkinesis and zookinesis. The result is lots of animals pouring out of the forest and into the clearing. They are all different species, some with furry bodies, others with scales, and some with wings. Lucifer smiles at the sight of them, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having helped Sandalphon out. He says, with a hint of smugness, "I take it you're happy now?"

Sandalphon nods eagerly, her eyes wide with wonder, "Yes, yes! Thank you, Lucifer!"

Lucifer chuckles, glad to see her so happy. As he stands up to leave, Sandalphon turns to him and says, "Leaving so soon? But we just got here!"

Lucifer turns to her. Before he can speak or react. Although he technically could have with his supernatural reflexes. He allows it.

She pounces on Lucifer playfully. She leaps on him and pins him to the ground.

Lucifer saw it coming but didn't resist because he didn't want to hurt her. She straddles him and continues to playfully pin him down. Lucifer chuckles softly, amused by Sandalphon's playful antics.

She says, her voice laced with warmth, "So Luci. Have you reconsidered my offer. Will you stay?"

Lucifer chuckles, "Well Sandy." Then in one quick, fluid movement, he rolls her off him and pins her down. Now he's on top. Sandalphon struggles to break free, but Lucifer's grip is too strong.

He leans in close to her, his breath hot on her face. "I don't see why not."

He stands up and helps Sandalphon up. The two of them hang out and play with the angelic animals.

Later, as the sun begins to set, Sandalphon turns to Lucifer and says, "Well, I must say, I'm glad you stayed." Sandalphon smiles and nods, her eyes shining with happiness.

"Me too, Sandy. Me too." The two of them spend some more time laughing and chatting. Soon, the animals begin to retire to their homes. The trees perfectly part to watch the sunset. Sandalphon then rests her head on Lucifer's shoulder.

As the sun sets and the sky turns shades of orange and pink, Lucifer summons an astral projection to check the time. 8:30. He remembered that he wanted to hang out with Michael around this time.

Sandalphon had dozed off into sleep, tired from the day's events. Lucifer debates what to do. He decides to open two portals. One of them to Sandy's house, where he picks her up and carries her into her bed. The other (portal) leads to a rooftop. It's the roof of the tallest building in Heaven.

Sitting on the edge is Michael. Lucifer exits the portal and sits next to him. Michael turns to Lucifer and jokingly remarks, "Fancy meeting you here."

Lucifer looks at Michael and replies, "And miss our hangout? Oh, of course not."

Michael asks, "How was Sandy? What did she need?"

Lucifer answers, "She's fine. She just wanted me to summon some animals for her to play with."

Michael nods. They both watch the sunset. As the sky turns darker, They both continue to enjoy the stars. Under the canvas of the star-strewn heavens, Lucifer and Michael sit side by side, sharing tales that echo through the vast expanse of eternity. They delve into the intricacies of celestial adventures, recounting the moments when their wings brushed against the fabric of existence.

Lucifer recounts a time when they quelled a celestial disturbance, their combined powers resonating like a celestial symphony. Michael chimes in with a tale of their journey to the edges of the celestial realms, where they discovered new constellations that adorned the cosmic tapestry.

As the night unfolds, their conversation turns to moments of vulnerability and shared struggles. They speak of the times when doubt cast shadows upon their celestial purpose and how their unwavering bond provided the light to dispel such darkness.

Between the anecdotes, a shared understanding lingers-a silent acknowledgment of the complexities woven into their divine existence. The night sky becomes a canvas for the tapestry of their brotherhood, painted with stories of triumph, camaraderie, and the enduring strength that ties their celestial hearts together. In these moments, the celestial brothers find solace beneath the cosmic canopy, where the threads of their shared experiences form an unbreakable connection that transcends the boundaries of Heaven itself.

Eventually, they both retire to their rooms.
