(in the van again)
Phibby: *shivering* It's cold.
Mia: I know, Phibby.
Phibby: *pointing out the window* What's that white stuff comin' from the sky?
Rini: *increduously* You don't know what snow is?
Phibby: That stuff? That's snow?
Mia: Yup.
Phibby: Wow. But I don't like it. I'm too cold.
Mia: Here. *hands him her scarf*
Lily: How can you not know what snow is?
Phibby: You think we get that in Hell? It's never less than sixty degrees there.
Lily: Oh.
(at the Chinese Buffet)
Mrs. S: *dismayed* What do you mean, "the heater's broken?"
Waitress: So sorry. Only take-out tonight.
Group: D'OH!!!
Lily: Now what?
Rini: I'm still hungry.
Mia: Me too.
Mrs. S: Let's go to Burger King. It's better than nothing.
All: Okay.
(Several hamburgers, a baked-potatoe, cup of chilie and a kids meal later, back at the inn)
Phibby: It's really cold in here too.
Mia: I'm sorry, Phibby-Baby. There's not much we can do about it.
Rini: *breath coming out in puffs of steam* At least there's SOME heat.
Lily: Yup.
Mrs. S: Well, we've got about 200 cupcakes to make for tomorrow...We might as well get to work.
(In the kitchen)
Mia: Great, there's no heat in here either. The Lord of Nightmares was kind enough to give Phibby his life back only to have him die of frostbite.
Phibby: *shivering* 'M okay.
Mia: No you're not! You're not used to this kind of cold and, Monster or not, you can't handle it. *digs around in bag* Here.
Phibby: What's this?
Mia: My 'Geta blanket. *lifts the Hellmaster on to the table* Sit here and stay warm.
Phibby: Okay.
Lily: Let's get to work...although I haven't made cupcakes in years.
(one big mess later...)
Mia: I can't believe how much we need to clean up... ^^;
Lily: This is taking forever! Why is the oven so small?!
The lady in charge, Donna: *breezes through the door* Hello --WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!
Phibby: *eating jellybeans from a bag on the table* Huh?
Donna: THOSE ARE FOR TOMORROW!!!!
Phibby: *whimpers* I'm sorry... {She's worse than Zelas...I'm scared ^^; }
Mrs. S: He's just a little boy. He didn't do any harm.
Phibby: *mumbling to himself* Ya think she'd show a little more respect to the Hellmaster...
Donna: And WHY is he sitting on the table where you're cooking?
Mia: He's cold and he needed some place to sit.
Donna: That doesn't mean he can do what ever the Hell he pleases!
Mia: Actually, he can. This "little boy" is Lord Hellmaster Phibrizio, ruler of the underworld. I'd watch what you say around him. All he needs to do is snap his fingers and you'd be dead.
Donna: *gives them a funny look then turns to Mrs. S.* I just came to make sure you got here all right. Stay down here; I don't want you upstairs. *goes grumbling out the door* ...don't know where Eileen comes up with these people...
(back in the lobby)
Mrs. S: *looks at a small heater* I guess if we sleep here, we'll be warm enough.
Mia: *looks at Phibby standing by the stove, no longer shivering* Good.
Rini: I've got to blow up my air matress.
*the group begins settling in for the night. Mia seems sort of wary of something, however, and Phibrizio is distracted for some unknown reason*
Mia: Phibby?...Phibby!
Phibby: *about to climb the staircase* ...Uh?
Mia: C'mere. Stay away from there. Come on; it's one in the morning. Time for bed.
Phibby: But-
Mia: No "buts." Come here and put on some pajamas.
Phibby: *glances back at the staircase* ...All right. *takes the pajamas and disappears into the bathroom*
Mia: *gazing up towards the staircase* {I have a bad feeling about this...}

AN: what's upstairs that's making our monsters so edgy? find out soon!
