It was July in L.A. and the city was in the middle of a heatwave. Chloe Decker had just about had it. Despite the relative comfort of the penthouse, she still had to deal with two cranky and bored 6-year-olds. The weather was so hot that the day camp she had them attending for the summer had closed down due to the heat advisories.

Of course, the weather didn't faze Lucifer at all. He was not only used to heat, he relished in it. It seemed their children did not take after their father in that way. Chloe was left with an empty and potentially disastrous week of ahead of her. She had so much vacation time accrued and a week of being cooped up with the devil and their two little monsters in the middle of a heatwave wasn't her idea of fun.

They had to get out of the city, but all of Southern California and the surrounding area was experiencing the same heatwave as L.A.

Where to go? It wasn't like money was an issue.

Chloe had a flashback to herself as a little girl. It was one of the few times her and her parents had a happy family vacation. Her father had taken her to visit his cousin's family in Ocean City, NJ. Her parents got along the entire trip and her mother had actually acted like a normal mother. They had a family themed boardwalk and a clean beach. It was entirely wholesome.

She thought of herself there with Lucifer and their children. It would be wonderful to relive some of her fond childhood memories with her own kids.

There was also the added bonus that New Jersey wasn't in the middle of a heatwave.

She decided than and there that she and her family would be in New Jersey in a few days time.

Of course, she still had to convince the devil himself.

Oh...the possibilities.
