Saturday

She woke late with a heavy heart. The intense events of the day before weighed on her. She had gone from being morphed by some kind of demon to being attacked by her best friend, having a date with her dream man and then being rejected.

To her surprise, her phone was going crazy with notifications from the dating app she'd abandoned a few days ago. She wasn't in the mood to check it.

She still didn't understand why Eric had ditched her in the bar, and she was still expecting an evil imp to appear and berate her at any moment.

"At least I don't have work today," She comforted herself as she wandered to the kitchen to look for breakfast.

The opened the refrigerator to find nothing. "Shit."

She'd never dressed up for a grocery store before, and yet here she was in full makeup, a summer dress and heeled boots.

Picking up items was now much more thought-intensive now her red nails extended so far from her fingertips. She made it half way through her shop when she, distracted by the incessant notifications, went to reach for toothpaste and jumped when she felt a soft person in an exquisite suit.

He made a squeaking noise and laughed at her as she recovered.

"I guess you're here to 'punish' me for failing, huh?"

He frowned thoughtfully. "Hey, these aren't punishments! I'm trying to help! Really. You're just a bit slow. And besides I was there; I know you did your best. What happened yesterday was, well, it wasn't exactly your fault." He looked pained as he said the last bit.

"What do you mean?"

He moved on swiftly and focused on cheering her up. "I guess what's done is done. You can try again with Eric when you see him on Monday! Until then there are plenty of other fish in the sea! Let's find you someone to take your mind off him."

She had only just accepted the possibility of sleeping with her dream man. There was no way she was going to sacrifice her vow of chastity for a stranger. She moved onto her gripe, "Why are all my dresses so short now, by the way? I did everything..."

"Oh that was my gift to help with the date last night! It's hard for me to control one dress though. Easier to change you. You look great, right? Besides, the sooner you sleep with someone, the sooner I'll be gone! No more changes." He thought that would be enough encouragement. "What about him?" He pointed alone the aisle.

She turned to find out what the imp was pointing at. A grocery store employee stood along the aisle, checking her out.

"Ew! He's nineteen!"

The creature waved his wrist and said suggestively, "Well he now has the cock of a donkey."

"How is that meant to persuade me?!"

The employee, sensing something new in his pants, buckled over and left in a hurry.

"Huh." The little man was annoyed at himself for wasting some of his power on something she wasn't interested in. He opened the child seat in the shopping cart and climbed in, facing Amanda. "Something just occurred to me. Is your sex drive dysfunctional?"
