Too Beautiful For Words from The Color Purple
Finally making it back to the hotel, they walked into the lobby to see Husk drinking as he usually did. "Husk, how many times do I have to tell you that the liquor is for the bar, not for you!" Vaggie groaned.
"How many times do I have to reply with I don't give a fuck?" Husk hissed at Vaggie.
"Estúpido gato alcohólico de mierda," Vaggie mumbled angrily under her breath.
"Wow, this place sure is full of filth! No wonder you need me!" Nifty said zipping around the hotel with a feather duster, cleaning the counters and photos. Husk suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at her.
"Who's that?" asked Husk.
"That's Nifty, our new employee," said Vaggie.
"She really likes to clean," said Angel.
"Nifty?" Husk said surprised. Nifty stopped cleaning and looked at the cat demon.
"Husky?" The small cyclops then zipped over to Husk. "What are you doing here? Did you miss me? Cuz I missed you a lot, and I never thought that I would ever see you again because you're always traveling around and-" Husk put a paw on Nifty's mouth to quiet her down. The cat demon sighed.
"Hi Nifty," Husk replied.
"You know her?" Vaggie asked confused.
"Yeah, he's my best friend! And I'm his best friend! Were the bestest friends ever!" Nifty said excitedly.
"Let's just say that I've helped her out of a scrap once or twice," Husk sighed.
Then suddenly, Alastor and Charlie bursted into the hotel dancing, singing, laughing and having fun.
"Uh, you guys are happy," said Husk.
"We sure are my dear friend!" Alastor exclaimed with a smile.
"Guess who just won free passes and free catering from a restaurant!" Charlie also exclaimed.
"Congratulations you love birds," said Angel. "How'd you win?"
"Through a contest. Some jerks were causing trouble, and we kicked their butts!" Charlie put her arm around Alastor. "All thanks to Alastor and his amazing dancing."
"Well of course, I couldn't have done it without my beautiful dance partner." Alastor smiled and kissed Charlie on the cheek. Charlie giggled. Angel smiled at the two.
"They sure are cute, aren't they Vags?" Vaggie was silent. "Vaggie?" Angel looked at Vaggie who looked upset as she stared at Charlie and Alastor being sweet towards each other. She had to admit, she was a little jealous. Back when she had a partner, when she had Amelia, they weren't as happy as a couple as they were. They always fought, they never trusted each other. And on top of all that, Amelia cheated on her and called her a freak. Thinking about all these things made her eyes start to water. "Vaggie are you okay?" asked Angel. The moth demon quickly turned away so he couldn't see her tears.
"Nothing, I have to go," she replied quickly and ran up the staircase. Everyone watched as she left.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with Vaggie?" wondered Alastor.
"I think I may know what's up," said Angel. "I'll go talk to her, be right back." He then silently made his way up the staircase.
"Okay, let us know if she's doing alright," Charlie said worriedly. Nifty then tugged on her pants.
"Excuse me ma'am, could you move? I need to clean that stain." Charlie looked down at the cyclops demon.
"Aw, aren't you adorable? What's your name sweetie?" Charlie said talking in a cutesy tone of voice.
"Ugh, I'm not a kid, I'm like 22," Nifty grumbled. "Why do people keep making that mistake?"
"Oh, sorry about that," Charlie quickly apologized.
"It's fine. My name is Nifty by the way," the small demon said with a smile. Alastor was suddenly shocked. He turned to look at the cyclops.
"Nifty?" asked Alastor. Nifty turned to Alastor and was shocked as well.
"Alastor... is that really..." Nifty was at a loss for words. Charlie was highly confused.
"Yes Alastor, it's her," said Husk.
"You know her too Alastor?" Charlie asked.
"Know her? Why she's a dear friend of mine! Aren't you my little Nifty?" Alastor said picking up Nifty and holding her in his arms.
"Yeah, he's also my friend! My best friend!" said Nifty. "I'm so happy the three of us are back together!"
"As am I, my dear Nifty!" said the Radio Demon in his whimsical tone. Husk grumbled.
"I'm not. Get those two together, and they're twice as annoying." Alastor and Nifty suddenly appeared beside him which shocked the cat demon and Charlie as well.
"Come now Husk, don't be such a sour puss!" said Alastor laughing at his own joke. Charlie and Nifty chuckled at the joke as well. Husk growled and cracked open a bottle of booze. Charlie then thought for a moment.
"I wonder how Vaggie and Angel are doing."
Meanwhile upstairs, Angel knocked on Vaggie's door. "Vaggie, come on! Tell me what's wrong!" Angel begged.
"I said nothing's wrong! Go away!" Vaggie yelled from behind her door. Angel started to worry more.
"Was it something that I said?"
"No, it wasn't. I said it's fine. Just leave me alone," Vaggie said, crying into her pillow.
"Is that really what you want?" Angel asked. Vaggie quickly replied.
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll leave if that's what you want. Let me just say this first." Vaggie groaned.
"What?"
"You're not a freak Vaggie, your beautiful. Well... at least I think so," Angel sighed before going to leave, but then...
"Wait!" Vaggie yelled rushing over to her door and opening it. Angel turned around to see Vaggie, tears and make-up running down her face. "What did you just say?" Angel stopped, turned back around, and walked towards Vaggie.
"I said that I think your beautiful." Vaggie suddenly felt her face going red, and turned away from Angel.
"No I'm not, your lying. I'm just an ugly, one eyed, freak. Admit it."
"You are not ugly," Angel replied firmly. "You're the grace of God if us ever see it." Vaggie looked down at the ground. Angel sighed. "You don't believe me. Vaggie... Vags look at me." Angel walked closer to Vaggie and turned her head til her eyes met his.
"Angel what are you-" Vaggie said but was shushed by Angel.
"Vaggie just listen," Angel said in a soft tone. He then started singing to her.
I've always been the kind of guy that had a lot to say
I've said things that are on my mind, too dumb to shy away
But you hush my mouth, and still me with a song I've never heard
I guess that means that you are just too beautiful for words
Vaggie was speechless, she couldn't believe the words coming out of Angel's mouth. She felt her heart start to pound and a smile started to spread across her face. He was being sincere, he really meant it. Angel continued singing.
I've seen this life from high and low, and all that's in between
I've danced with dukes, and crooned with counts, been courted like a queen
But when I see what's in your heart, all the rest is blurred
The grace you bring into this world's too beautiful for words
Angel started wiping Vaggie's eyes as he continued to sing.
You hide your head under your wing, just like a little bird
Oh, don't you know your beautiful, too beautiful for words
Ooh Vaggie, You're too beautiful for words
"And I mean that alright?" Angel said. "I would never lie to you." Angel removes his hands from Vaggie's face.
"Thanks," said Vaggie hesitantly.
"Anytime Vags. I'll get out of your hair now." Angel walked his way back down to the lobby. Vaggie could still feel that her face was red, and her heart was still pounding. Vaggie had no clue what was happening to her.
"I'm probably just sick. I'll go get some rest," said Vaggie walking back inside her room.
