A few months later, everything was back to normal as always. Though, I would say some things changed. For one, Penny and Husk started dating, and Husk seemed fairly nicer thanks to Penny's influence. Cherri and Angel stopped getting involved with turf wars, mostly because Sir Pentious wasn't bothering them anymore, as well as some other things. Though the one thing that has changed the most was Kacey and Mimzy's relationship. Kacey and Mimzy used to be friends. Yes they would compete for Alastor's affection sometimes, but they tried to not let it get in the way of their friendship. Then, things started getting ugly. Mimzy started seeing Alastor with Kacey more frequently, which made her full of jealous rage. Even more when one day at her bar, she asked him what he liked about Kacey. He said that he liked her sense of humor, and had to admit he thought it was cute when she got flustered. Mimzy was so jealous, that she forgot all about Kacey's friendship. That's when things started getting more competitive between them. They would fight more often than normal until someone broke them up, which was mostly Alastor. Then the holiday party incident happened and they didn't talk to each other for almost weeks. Mimzy had left the hotel shortly after the holiday party ended and no one had seen her for a while. And over those few weeks, Kacey had to admit she missed Mimzy. Even though she said all those horrible, terrible things to her, she forgave her a long time ago. She wanted to end this silly rivalry once and for all. She finally accepted the fact that Alastor is asexual, and if he does happen to fall in love with her, Mimzy, or anybody else, it didn't matter to her anymore. Though she would still have a crush on him. Most of all, she wanted her and Mimzy to be friends again. She sat on the couch, staring at the ground, thinking of possible ways to get her and Mimzy to be friends again. Alysa, Penny and Alastor were sitting at the bar, looking over at her. "She hasn't talked to anyone for three days now," said Alysa, worried about her best friend.

"Come to think of it, she hasn't talked at all since Charlie mentioned something about Mimzy the week before," Penny said.

"I'm starting to worry about her," said Alysa.

"Well, I'm going to talk to her. Wish me luck," said Alastor as he started making his way over to Kacey.

"Good luck," Penny said. Alastor took a deep breath.

"Are you alright darling?" he asked. Kacey slowly looked up at him, a sad expression on her face.

"Oh, hi Al. Yes, I'm alright," Kacey said sadly. Alastor crossed his arms.

"I'm sorry darling, but I can't say that I believe you. You're not smiling," Alastor said lifting her chin up to meet his gaze.

"Oh really, I'm fine. I've just been thinking about some stuff," said Kacey sadly, looking back down again.

"About what happened between you and Mimzy?" Alastor asked. Kacey nodded silently. "Ah, I see." Alastor sat on the couch with Kacey to comfort her. "You're still upset?" he asked.

"I miss Mimzy. Yeah we might have fought a whole lot, but she was my friend. But all this fighting for your attention, it's driving us apart. I want to end this, I just don't know how." Alastor thought for a moment, processing all that he heard. Then, he got an idea.

"It seems that you've caught yourself in a bit of a conundrum my dear. How about I give you a hand, hm?" he said standing up and pulling Kacey off the couch to do a few dance steps with her.

"You'd really help me?" Kacey said eagerly. Alastor laughed.

"Of course I would my dear, I care about you and your happiness. Nothing matters more to me than that," Alastor said booping her on the nose. Kacey blushed. Did Alastor just say that he really cares about her? No, he couldn't have.

"You really mean it?" Kacey asked. Alastor moved in closer to her until they were nose to nose.

"Did I stutter darling?" Alastor said in a kinda flirty tone. Kacey turned bright red. Alastor laughed. "Oh my dear, you really are adorable when you're flustered. Ahem, I'm getting off topic, Mimzy! Yes, I know everything there is to know about her, and just what you need to do to get her to be your dearest friend again!" Alastor said, giving a nervous chuckle.

"That's great Alastor! What do I need to do?" said Kacey, back to her usual happy self. Alastor walked off with her, discussing possible ways she could make it up to Mimzy. Alysa and Penny smiled as they walked off.

"Well that went well," Penny said.

"It sure did," said Alysa. "Hope she finds a way to make it up to her."

"Me too."

"Hey Penny," said Husk approaching the bar. Penny's eyes lit up when she saw Husk.

"Hi Husky," Penny said, playfully teasing Husk. Husk blushed and grumbled as he walked behind the counter.

"I told you not to call me that in public," he said grumbling. Penny giggled.

"Don't worry Husk, it's just Alysa," Penny said.

"Yeah don't worry, I'd never tease you," Alysa said smiling at Husk.

"But we sure will," said a voice Husk knew all too well. Angel and Aaron were standing by the stairs, smug looks were on their faces.

"Oh fuck me," Husk groaned.

"Name the time and place sweetie," Angel joked. Only Aaron laughed. Husk reached under the counter and grabbed a bottle of booze. He took a big swig from the bottle. "Anyways, if Charlie needs me, tell her I'm at work," Angel said walking towards the door.

"Bye babe, we still on for guys night?" said Jason just as Angel was about to leave.

"Yeah, I'll be there sugar," said Angel blowing Aaron a kiss before leaving.

"What about you Husker? Ya coming?" Aaron asked Husk who was drinking booze.

"Sure, got nothing better to do," Husk shrugged. Aaron walked to his room.

"So Husk, I'm curious? What do you guys do at guys night?" Penny asked. Husk chuckled.

"Sorry doll, afraid I can't tell you. What happens at guys night stays at guys night," he said smirking.

"They took an oath," said Alysa. "I know, I asked them multiple times."

"Alastor goes to guys night too?" Penny asked.

"Nah, we haven't even asked him yet," said Husk answering her question.

"You should ask him tonight when he's done helping Kacey. He could get to know you guys better," said Alysa.

"Maybe," said Husk drinking his booze. "What's he helping her with?"

"Trying to build back up her relationship with Mimzy after the holiday fiasco," said Penny. "Wonder how she's doing." Meanwhile with Kacey and Alastor, they we're in Alastor's room, finishing up on how to fix Kacey and Mimzy's relationship.

"I think I got it Alastor. Thanks for your help," chirped Kacey, really happy that she and Mimzy would be friends again.

"No problem my dear. Like I said, I want to see you happy," said Alastor swelling with pride.

"You did make me happy Alastor. You always do," said Kacey blushing. "I love- I mean- you're my best friend," Kacey said nervously. Alastor cocked his head to one side. "Just forget what I was about to say earlier." Kacey gave an awkward laugh. Alastor giggled, she was getting flustered again. He couldn't resist the urge to tease her a bit.

"What? I love you?" Alastor said with a smirk. Kacey's heart fluttered. Kacey started babbling unintelligibly which made Alastor laugh even harder. "Oh, your just so adorable darling," Alastor said smushing her cheeks together. " I just love when you get nervous, it's so cute and dorky," he said trying to contain his laughter. "It's as hilarious as the stock market crash of 1929!"

"You think it's cute? Most people think that it's weird," said Kacey.

"It doesn't matter what others think of you darling. I don't find it weird in the slightest," said Alastor smiling. Kacey blushed.

"Thanks Al," Kacey said flattered. "OK, why are you being so nice to me today? It's not that I don't enjoy it, it's just strange. You've never been this nice before." Alastor chuckled.

"I guess you've grown on me overtime. Sure, you annoy me some of the time, but I really do enjoy your company," he said sincerely. Kacey chuckled. "Why my dear, you could even say that I like you." He was silent for a moment. His cheeks turning slightly red. "A lot," he finished, his voice a little quiet. Kacey blushed. Alastor and Kacey started moving closer and closer to each other. Then, Alastor snapped out of his daze. "Anyway, we've been talking for way too long. You should be getting over to Mimzy's place," he said back to his usual self. Kacey snapped back to her usual self as well.

"Oh right." Kacey started to walk out, then she paused. "I don't suppose you're busy, are you? I'm a bit nervous going by myself." Alastor let out a small laugh.

"I'm not particularly busy at the moment, so of course I'll accompany you," he said grabbing her hand. Kacey chuckled nervously. They walked out of the room hand in hand.

Elsewhere, in an underground chamber, Sir Pentious slithered through the dark and empty place till he reach a metal door. Behind was a lab. Papers all over the floor. beakers and other science equipment were on every shelf and counter top. Now, conducting an experiment, was a blue anglerfish demon wearing a black lab coat, yellow goggles, and a pair of black gloves. He was evilly laughing as he poured contents into a flask. He started singing.

Baxter's Science Serenade

Song by Count Solace on YouTube

(Go check him out, he's cool.)

Baxter:

(singing)

Science and solitude's all that I ask

A violent reaction inside of a flask

My slice of heaven that sent me to hell

Who gives a shit as far as I can tell

Boiling and bubbling music to ears

This is my gain, no blood, sweat, or tears!

(manically laughing)

Baxter then hears a knock at the door. "What?" he says annoyed.

"Sorry to interrupt your experimenting, but may I remind you that you have a job to do!" Sir Pentious yells on the other side of the door. Baxter groans and leaves his experiment behind. He unlocks the metal door with an eye scan. The door opens. "Can we hurry this up? It smells like tuna down here," said Sir Pentious pretending to pinch his non-existent nose. Baxter sighs and closes the door behind him. He walks with Sir Pentious through the chamber. "I honestly don't understand how you survive like this Baxter. It's cold, it's wet, it reeks," Sir Pentious said looking around the dark chamber.

"It's quiet," he replies. "Perfect place to do all the experimenting I want." Sir Pentious and Baxter kept walking till they reached a stairwell. A bright light shone at the top. They traveled up the steps till they got to the top. Baxter was blinded by the bright light. At the top of the stairs was a golden Victorian hallway. Sir Pentious led Baxter down a few hallways till the got to a candle-lit hallway. They kept on walking till they reach a giant door. Sir Pentious pushed the door open to reveal a giant, dark throne room which was lit by only a few candles. Sir Pentious and Baxter walk down a red carpet that led to a throne where a dark figure was waiting.

"Baxter," the figure greeted.

"Greetings Ma'am, is there something you need?" Baxter asked.

"The invention Baxter. How are you and Sir Pentious doing on the invention?"

"What do you mean me and Baxter? Was I supposed to help him?" Sir Pentious asked. The figure groaned.

"Baxter!" the figure said angrily.

"I didn't think that his help was necessary ma'am. Besides, I work better on my own," said Baxter.

"Baxter, we've talked about this. You and Sir Pentious must work together on the invention. You are both essential for the success of my plan. If you are not ready to work with others, I could always find another scientist."

"Nonsense! You'll never find another scientist that is as skillful as me," said Baxter.

"Then I suggest that you listen when I tell you to work with others you twat," the figure threatened. Baxter sighed.

"Yes ma'am," replied Baxter.

"Good, now leave me in peace!" The figure boomed. Baxter and Sir Pentious left the throne room.

"For the record, I will loathe every second of working with you," Baxter growled at Sir Pentious.

"Same here pal," Sir Pentious hissed back.

Meanwhile with Alastor and Kacey, they finally made it to Mimzy's bar. At the entrance, Kacey started to have conflicting feelings. "What if this was a mistake? I can't do this," Kacey said walking away. Alastor stopped her.

"Not so fast my dear. You gone this far without turning back. What's stopping you now?" said Alastor leading her back towards the entrance. "You can do it my dear, I know you can," he reassured her. Kacey smiled.

"Thanks Al," Kacey said about to hug him. Then she remembered that he has a problem with people touching him. "Sorry Alastor, forgot you don't like people touching you," she said chuckling nervously. Alastor sighed.

"Come here darling," he said putting his arms around her. Kacey blushes and slowly returns the hug. She then pulled away and walked back up to the entrance. She took a deep breath. Alastor put a hand on her shoulder. "I'll be right behind you." Kacey entered the bar with Alastor. She started to search for Mimzy around the bar. One of the security guards saw her and walked off through an employee's only door. He walked down some hallways until he got to a door with a sign that said "Mimzy's Office". He walked in. Mimzy was twirling a gun around her finger and whistling.

"She's here Ms. Mimzy," said the guard. Mimzy grinned evilly.

"Perfect," Mimzy said in a dark tone.

"And Alastor is with her," the guard finished. Mimzy's smile grew bigger.

"Show me to them." Kacey and Alastor we're looking all over for Mimzy but they couldn't find her. They regrouped.

"I can't find her. Did you find her anywhere?" said Kacey.

"Afraid not my dear. Maybe the guards have seen the flapper girl around," said Alastor walking over to a security guard by the bar. Kacey followed behind him. "Excuse me kind sir, but you wouldn't have happened to see Mimzy around, would you?" he asked the gaurd.

"We really need to see her," said Kacey. The guard pointed behind them. They exchanged confused glances and turn around. Mimzy was standing behind them with two security guards.

"Hello Kacey," Mimzy greated calmly.

"Mimzy, thank god I found you! I need to talk to you," said Kacey.

"Why'd you come back? To gloat over your victory?" Mimzy sneered.

"No, I came to apologize- wait, gloat? Over my victory? What are you talking about Mimzy?" Kacey asked. Mimzy chuckled and examined a pistol she was holding in her hands.

"Don't act like you don't know Kacey. You think that you won Alastor after the holiday party, right? That I would be out of the picture, and he would finally be all yours right?" Kacey did not reply. "Right?" Mimzy said, more aggressively.

"Mimzy, I don't care about-"

"Wrong! You got it all wrong. The contest has just began."

"Mimzy please, listen to me!" Kacey begged, tears leaking from her eyes.

"No, you listen Kacey! I'm done messing around! I can't have you just winning Alastor, now can I? I won't give up without a fight!" Mimzy said, laughing crazily and pointing her pistol at Kacey.

"Mimzy, please stop! I don't care about the contest anymore! I came to end this Mimzy! Did you forget that we're supposed to be friends? I miss you! Can't we just end this?" More tears started leaking down Kacey's face. Mimzy laughed.

"Friends? You can't be serious! I only was your friend because I felt bad for you. Who would want to be friends with a weirdo like you?" Mimzy mocked. Kacey was heartbroken. She really thought she had found a real friend, but again, she was proven wrong. Kacey felt her knees give way and she knelt to the floor, crying. "Honestly Alastor, I don't know what you see in her," Mimzy scoffed. Alastor rushed to Kacey's side to comfort her. Alastor felt rage flood through his body. His eyes quickly darted over to Mimzy. He stood up.

"I'll tell you what I see. I see a sweet and innocent girl who I admire because she's weird!" Alastor exclaimed angrily. Kacey gave a little smile. "I see someone who is loyal, caring, and funny! I see her as more than a friend, but a wonderful partner!" Kacey's eyes widen. "I care deeply about Kacey more than you could ever discribe!"

"Alastor," Kacey said in shock.

"And I'm not going to let you hurt her again," he said changing into his demon form. Mimzy laughed.

"Aw, that's just cute. Oh well, I'll just have to result to taking you by force. Now!" Mimzy said. One of the guards held Kacey captive. She threw the guard her gun and he caught. He pointed the gun at Kacey's head.

"Let her go!" Alastor yelled.

"You attack, she dies," Mimzy said with a smirk. Alastor growled and changed back to his normal self. "I have a deal for you Alastor. I'll let Kacey live if you become my boyfriend," Minzy said approaching Alastor. Alastor looked at Kacey. Kacey smiled and winked. He smiled and winked back at her. "Do we have a deal?"

"Well, I guess I don't have a choice, do I?" Alastor said. All of a sudden, the lights in the building started flickering and completely went out for a few seconds. When the lights came back on, Kacey and Alastor were gone. Mimzy yelled in anger.

"Find them!" she exclaimed. Outside the bar, Alastor and Kacey teleported to the outside.

"Good job teleporting us out of there," Kacey said to Alastor.

"Splendid job with the lights my dear. Luckily we planned for if things went wrong, huh?" Alastor said.

"Yeah, but were not safe yet. We need to get out of here," Kacey said.

"Leave to me my dear," said Alastor teleporting them to his room.

"Wow, that was fast," Kacey said surprised. "So, that didn't go so well." Kacey and Alastor shared a laugh.

"I guess not," said Alastor between his giggles. Then, Kacey remembered all the things Alastor said back at the bar.

"Alastor, about what you said back there," Kacey started. Alastor then pulled her close.

"I meant every word darling," Alastor said smiling. Kacey blushed. Alastor giggled. "Aww, getting flustered I see," he said in a flirty tone. Kacey laughed and playfully pushed Alastor away.

"Stop it Al," she said laughing.

"Sorry my dear, it's just so cute when you're flustered. I can't help but tease you," he said laughing. Kacey smiled.

"So um Alastor, remember when I was about to say I love you earlier?" Kacey said nervously. Alastor smiled and nodded slightly. "Well I do. Love you, I mean," she said blushing. Alastor chuckled.

"I love you too my dear," he said, kissing her on the back of her hand. Not quite what Kacey was expecting, but she was happy either way. There was an awkward silence for a moment.

"So, are we like a thing now?" Kacey said, breaking the awkward silence. Alastor gave a nervous laugh.

"I guess we are," he said blushing.

"Well, guess I should be going. I promised Alysa I'd help her with her errands. See ya later," said Kacey walking out of the room.

"Farewell my dear," Alastor said. He sighed happily.
