The plan

- Charlie! The stray fox is back! – shouts Angel from downstairs while looking up to where Charlie and Vaggie are, as he sees Mira stepping inside the Hotel- Shall I get rid of her?

- ANGEL! – Charlie shouts back.

- Okay, then I will. – Angel looking at Mira with a malignant smile. Oh how he wishes to get rid of her. It seems like this stray fox is in the focus. Angel is not used to this. It is always him, whom everyone adores or hates or anything. The point is, when he enters a room everyone looks at him and tries to get close to him. But not now…

- Quit it Spidey. – says Mira slightingly.

- Oh, I'm so glad that you are back Foxy. – says Angel fawningly as he moves towards Mira - Charlie keeps on running from one room to the other. She is crazy about your help. - He puts a hand around Mira's shoulder.

- Aaand you are not. – says Mira under Angel's arm, looking up to him.

- Oh, is it that obvious? – Angel looks down at Mira smiling, then moves away.

- Come on Angel, I haven't started my work yet. – Mira follows Angel to the bar and takes a place next to him - Please, for Charlie's sake. – she tries to be as friendly and cute as possible, maybe that has an effect on Angel. If it wasn't for this hotel, then she would definitely battle him. Angel looks at her. He tries to figure out what this girl is up to. Maybe he is just too alert and there is no danger. Well Alastor brought her here, so there must be something.

- I'll think about that. - and with that he turns to Husker with admiration in his eyes.

A sharp and loud scream can be heard all over the Hotel.

- BOSS! – a little girl is running from upstairs straight to Alastor - You're finally back! I cleaned everything, look? – she says proudly – Isn't it amazing! Finally a woman's touch in this mess! –then she looks to Mira immediately - Who's this lady?

- Mira, let me introduce you to a very handful young lady. This little fella is Niffty! – he introduces Niffty to Mira.

- Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Niffty! – says Niffty with full of enthusiasm.

- I'm Mira! – Niffty doesn't care about shaking hands, she jumps into her arms and hugs her - Nice meeting you too? – says Mira surprisedly. Suddenly Niffty's hug softens, and feels like she is in shock or something. She is not moving.

- Is everything all right? - Mira's question wakes Niffty to her senses and she steps back quickly.

- Yes, everything is super! – she stands tensely like a solider. This second seems like it lasts forever, but then Charlie runs downstairs.

- Mira! You are back, finally!– she runs to Mira and grabs her hands – You left so fast last time. You couldn't even check out your new room. – says Charlie.

- Yeah…Where I had to bring up all your fucking stuff! – Angel pulls a face.

- I have so many plans, come and check it out! - Charlie starts to drag Mira upstairs

- Okay Charlie, slow down please. – says Mira as they leave the others behind.

- Guess my job starts here. – says Angel as he takes a shot - Gotta go keep an eye on that Fox you brought here... he looks at Alastor. Of course he blames him for this situation.

- Have a lovely fun time girls! – Alastor waves goodbye to them with a wide smile on his face. Angel puffs as he leaves. What a jerk - he thinks. It's only a game for him, he must be enjoying himself.

- Boss... Something is not right. - says Niffty. She stands the same way since Mira went upstairs. She didn't move and her voice is trembling a little.

- What do you mean my darling? – Alastor turns to her.

- This new lady... – she says quietly - Besides that she is not a man... There are too many ladies here... – says she a bit sadly - So beside that, she is strange. – Niffty looks up to Alastor. She is waiting for some answers or at least a confirmation.

- Hmmm... What do you suspect dear? - asks Alastor with real curiosity in his voice.

- I don't know, her aura is not like a usual demon's. – says she a little bit scared. Niffty never acts like this. She is always so happy and loving.

- Niffty, dear, could you do me a favor? – Alastor leans forward.

- Yes, anything. – says Niffty with admiration.

- Could you be an angel and check Mira's room a little bit more thoroughly for me?– Niffty looks at him questioningly - Looking for unusual things? - Alastor's face turns serious.

- A mission? – Niffty's eyes brighten up.

- Yes. – says Alastor with a loving smile on his face as he sees how excited Niffty gets.

- Like a top secret one? – Niffty is jumping up and down of excitement.

- Yes. – Alastor straightens up.

- With special weapons and spies? – she screams.

- Hmmm…I guess... – Alastor answers in confusion.

- Oooo boy oh boy, I'm in! – shouts Niffty - I need knifes and snipers and grenade and... – jabbers she.

- Niffty!– says Alastor firmly - Focus my dear, no need for anything, just sneak into the room, and take a look around.

- Sir yes sir! – salutes Niffty and straightens up

- Now off you go– Alastor whispers. Niffty doesn't say anything just nods. She feels very special now. A real mission! A dangerous one! How exciting! However she is a bit nervous. What will she find in that room? What if Mira notices her? Will she hurt her? No, that can never happen. The Boss would never let that happen. He would protect her. Nothing bad can come up. Or?

- Let's gather everyone! – Charlie runs downstairs and shouts - I'm so excited! – she runs toward the bar and sits down. Husker looks at her like she has gone mad.

Mira sit next to her smiling. "What a cute child Charlie is."

Angel sits facing Mira. He can never rest still until this Fox is here. "Must. Protect. Charlie and the others."

Vaggie is not amused either. She sits to the other side of Charlie. Charlie likes this girl Mira too much, and she is so happy about her being here… "Ah, this bitter-sweet feeling called jealousy."

- Me and Mira have lots of new ideas. Guess what, this whole redemption thing could actually work! – she says looking at the others, waiting for any respond - And we need your help guys. So we're counting on you.

- Aha, sure…yeah… - Angel leans on the bar. No interest at all. Until he looks at Husker.

- Okay I just can't hold it anymore. So the guests will stay in the rooms…

- Obviously. – Angel cuts in while sneaking closer to Husker.

-… and there will be classes. You all will be teachers of the hotel from now on! – everyone looks at Charlie with a shock and recoil - These demons have to learn manners, they have to fit in up there after all.

- Ahahaha what a bullshit! – laughs Angel - These are demons! You want to make clowns of them? – says Angel indignantly. Everyone stays quiet and looks at Charlie.

- Angel please. – Charlie says a little upset and angrily - I know you don't believe in this, but please believe in me okay? – she looks at Angel. She knows how frustrated he is, but also knows that Angel is a nice guy deep in his heart. He has to understand how important this is to her.

- Ah whatever. – he sighs.

- Thank you! – says she - I will show them rainbows and puppies, all the good things in life. Mira will take them on tours to the human world, so they can remember their lives. – she stops for a second, waiting for any reaction - And the closest step to heaven is obviously the human world. – everyone is still in a shock, no one says a word - Vaggie could do regular workout with them, they need to have a good physical fitness. – Vaggie does not move at all. She is fine with it anyway. She doesn't want to say no to Charlie.

- Husk what are you good at? – asks Charlie heatedly.

- Drinking and gambling. – states Husker straight.

- Ah that's my man! – says Angel as he huddles up to Husker.

- Leave me alone Angel! – Husker pushes Angel off.

- Okay, you won't participate then. – Charlie says - What about you Angel? - At this point something tells her, that asking Angel was a big mistake.

- I can teach them how to suck a dick. – he says

- Angel! – Charlie outrages.

- Come on, it is a very useful thing. – Angel settles in his seat - There are situations where you need this ability to get what you want.

- Huh, what useful abilities you have there… - says Mira ironically.

- You just shut your fucking mouth there Foxy! – Angel jumps up on his feet. Mira doesn't move, she just watches him carefully, ready to act if necessary. Alastor stands right behind her, watching the whole conflict with a satisfied smile on his face. He wants to fuel the anger more.

– You are on the razor's edge girl. I warn you. – Angel hisses menacingly. Mira says nothing, just keeps a sharp eye-contact with him. Suddenly she feels a disturbing presence next to her face. A dark shadow that is similar to Alastor whispers into her ears – Do it. – Of course she knows about Alastor and his special powers, but never experienced it before. How amazing. She feels as he tries to manipulate her, tries to control her feelings.

- I'm sorry Angel, didn't wanted to offend you. Truly. – Mira says. Angel sits back slowly in disbelief. What a bitch - he thinks. How dare she go against me in front of everyone like that?!

In the meantime Alastor watches Mira. "Hmm no effect." His power had absolutely no effect on her. How come? This girl is more interesting than he thought at first. "The eyes, and now a strange power above his power. So tempting."

- Okay... - Charlie says cautiously – now that everyone is calm again shall we get back to the plan? – everyone looks at her – Good! So I thought that Al could teach some manners to the demons.

- Certainly my dear! At your services! – Alastor steps forward and bows a little to Charlie.

- Imagine all the demons acting as humans did in the 1920's. – Angel whispers to Vaggie giggling.

- Also Niffty could teach them how to clean! Speaking of which, where is Niffty?
