As the curtain drops, the audience erupts into an applause after seeing what appeared to be one of the greatest shows they have seen in a long time. "Thank you, Thank you everybody! We hope you've enjoyed the show and we'll see you next time, Bye!" Bendy and Boris return to their shared dressing room beat tired from their performance. *Sigh* "Another successful show eh Boris?" "You said it Bendy old pal," Boris says . Just as the two were about to relax there's a knock on the door and in comes the stage hand, "Great show guys, big hit, lots of laughs." "Are you kidding? The crowd ate it up like it was last call for bacon soup. There's no better team than Bendy and Boris, B. and B," Bendy says proudly putting his arm around his wolf companion. "Yeah about that, I've got some bad news for you two. The boss just hired this new talent Miss uhh…Alice Angel; suppose to be the hottest thing on the block." "WHAT?! HOTTEST THING?! I'm… I'M THE HOTTEST THING ON THE BLOCK!," Bendy screams at the top of his lungs. "Who's name is on the title of this show every night? Me! That's who! NO! NO! I can't have another person try and upstage me, the dancing devil!" "Take it up with the big man upstairs Bendy, I'm just the messenger. Anyway she starts tomorrow, show her around, teach her the routines and above all be nice or else, that means you Bendy." The stage hand closes the door behind him, leaving the two in silence. "Pfeh, he's crazy, no way some one hit wonder is gonna come in and start changing things. Heh, Joey must be losing his marbles, right Boris," Bendy turns to his friend with a worried look on his face. The wolf companion comes over to his devil friend and tries to reassure Bendy that everything will be alright. "Who knows, maybe she'll be our new friend." "Ha! As if, did you hear her name, Alice Angel. Since when did Angels and Devils ever get along?" Boris gives him a shrug. "You never know, maybe you two will get along great," Boris says trying to bring pep back into his friend's foul mood. Bendy ponders for a second with an evil thought in mind. "Maybe~"
~Next Day~
The little devil strolls into the club whistling a tune, feeling cheerful and ready to start the day off right. "Ahh, today's going very well, woke up refreshed, got my cup of joe and I'm ready to rehearse with Boris. Yes sir, it's gonna be great. And who knows, maybe that Angel chick won't even bother to show up, that would be wonderful." As the devil rounded the corner to his shared dressing room he will soon find out the hard way that god doesn't grant favors for little devils, no matter how darling they are. Bendy turns the knob and enters the room. "Hey Boris you got some spare time to go over this new skit I came up with last….night." As Bendy struggles to get the last of his sentence out he sees this strange but oddly attractive woman sitting in front of his mirror, brushing her long wavy black hair. She was too lost in her own thoughts to see the tiny devil behind her observing. She was about average height, curvy and wore a black dress that came down to her knees. But what caught Bendy's attention the most was what looked to be a halo resting on top of two little horns on her head. She suddenly sees Bendy in the reflection of the mirror and turns to greet him with an angelic smile. "Oh! Good morning, I'm sorry I scared you, they haven't finished making my dressing room so the stage hand said I could borrow yours for a bit," says the angel. "Oh my! Where are my manners," she extends out her hand to Bendy. "Let me start over, hello, my name is Alice, Alice Angel and-" "I know who you are." "Oh! Well, that's wonderful~ I'm so excited to work with you, Bendy was it? The Dancing Devil, right? Your boss has told me so much about you; I hope to be as great as you one day and… is there something wrong?" she asks him with a questionable look. "What's your deal?" "I…I beg your pardon?" "Why do you have a halo and horns? Are you an angel or a demon?" "Oh, well, you see, I'm sort of a fallen angel," Alice responds in a positive way. "So you're an angel that got booted out of Heaven?" "Well, kind of.." "…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bendy bursts into a fit of laughter holding onto his stomach for air while the angel has a dumfounded look on her face. "What's so funny?!" "Oh man! I thought I was dealing with a professional angel, but it turns out that your nothing but a flunky. What happened? God ran out of room for second best?" he says trying to regain his composure. Alice's cheeks turn a bright red and she shouts, "No! I was sent here on a mission from god himself!" "Oh please, is that what they told you before they pushed you out the door? Wow you're sure are dumb. If you ask me they probably kicked you out on account of how you look." "What's wrong with my outfit?" "Look toots, it's not so much your outfit per say, it's more about the size of your rack." "Ack! Listen you little twerp, I was sent from God to entertain people with my songs and make them happy and I'm not gonna let some little devil stand in the way of my mission…are you even listening?!" "Oh god, Joey must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel with you, a naughty angel, how original." "I AM STILL TALKING HERE!" Just as the fight started heating up the door creaks open and in comes Boris carrying his trusty clarinet. "Hey Bendy! Sorry I'm late, had a jam with the band and I got a great song for ya. How is your morning…going?," the wolf asks while seeing two very angry people give him the most disgusting looks ever.
~Rehearsal~
"Come on guys, we need to get along and start working on our material for our show," says the sulking wolf trying to be the mediator between his feuding co-workers. "Sorry Boris but I won't work with her, even if she is a flunky angel." "Fallen angel," says Alice correcting Bendy. "Whatever toots." "Stop calling me toots!. And anyway, I don't work with obnoxious and rude devils. Boris, I'll work with you since you've been such a gentlemen to me so far." "Hey! Boris is my partner and my best friend. Not yours! Mine!" Bendy says in a accusatory tone. *sigh* "Look Bendy, I've worked with you for quite sometime and you and I both know that no matter what happens will always be best friends but miss Alice is new and she doesn't know the ropes. So just for today, could ya let work with her just for today and then afterwards we can go out for some grub, just the two of us. Can you do that for me, you're old pal?" Boris asks while giving his friend the sweetest puppy-dog pout. Bendy didn't like the fact that his best friend was sticking up for this strange woman or for the fact that Boris was asking him to leave and be with her instead of him. It was very unusual for Bendy to share Boris with anybody, he felt that no one but himself was good enough for his wolfish friend. But seeing him begging for Bendy to let him work with the angel made him uneasy but not so much to be a jerk to his loyal friend. He nods a painful yes and watches Boris gently push him out the door of the shared dressing room into the hallway. "Don't worry Bendy, no one can replace you in my life," Boris says patting the devil on the head and closing the door on his friend. "Yeah, Boris does have a point, I'm the only person that will remain in his life," Bendy says feeling oh so proud of himself. "I guess I can start drafting up my evil plan to get rid of little miss not-so perfect, Hehehehehe!"
