Passing through different layers of rock, Nergal traveled with Mandy firmly in the possession of his tentacles towards the center of the Earth. He was satisfied with his success, somewhat surprised at how easy it had been.

When the two ceased their descent, they appeared to be in a spacious area of reddish-purple rock. It was Nergal's family kitchen; they had finally reached the center of the Earth. A red-haired woman looked up from the wooden table she was sitting at to see the ones whom had just arrived.

"Oh, honey, you're back!" Sis said in a drone-ish voice, rubbing over and throwing her arms around Nergal, not yet noticing that he hadn't come alone.

"Hello, dear!" Nergal exclaimed happily as he greeted his wife, his own arms wrapping around her.

"So, how was your visit with Billy?" Sis asked with her raspy voice, mouth moving under a large nose.

"Well, I couldn't quite convince him to visit us here," Nergal's smile faded to a frown, "but I believe I can change his mind about that." Nergal revealed the unconscious Mandy surrounded by Nergal's coiled tentacles.

"Oh, you and your little ideas," Sis nuzzled up to him, charmed by his 'creativity'. "You're so smart," The woman complimented, running her finger over his dark chest playfully.

Nergal grinned, eyelids falling halfway over his yellow eyes as he pulled Sis closer to him. "I get my inspiration from you."

Sis smiled, and the two locked lips in the heat of passion, their love strong as ever.

"Ugh, get a room." A disgusted monotone voice destroyed the moment, Nergal turning his head to view the young girl who had interrupted them so rudely.

Reacting quickly, Nergal sent a bolt of blue electricity through his tentacles to shock Mandy back into unconsciousness. "Oh, that reminds me," Nergal began, losing all romance, "where are we to store the girl?" His question regarded Mandy as if she was a mere item to their disposal.

Sis only thought for a moment before coming up with a solution. "What about Junior's room? He could use a playmate."

Nergal tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Perhaps you're right. Now, to make sure she doesn't escape..." Nergal looked around as he thought of something to conceal Mandy in. "Oh, I know!" Nergal said excitedly as if a toddler who had just figured out the answer to two plus two, "we can keep her in a corner using that spare fire wall in the back!"

Sis chuckled briefly, "good thinking once again." She said, spoiling her husband with flattery.

Nergal smiled at Sis before tilting his head upwards and booming, "JUNIOR! We have a surprise for you!" He then turned to his wife, "go and fetch the wall, will you, dear?"

Billy's Aunt Sis nodded, happy to help out her husband, and left the demon to attain the object he sought after.

A young boy walked down the stairs with a dull expression to his face, his eyes behind green glasses aimed towards the floor. Black hair curled upwards in the front, two thin spokes pointing up towards the posterior. "What is it, Dad?" The bland boy asked Nergal as he walked towards him, his voice dull and nasally, much like his mother's.

"Well, it looks like you'll have your very own, temporary playmate to keep in your room!" Nergal exclaimed, gesturing towards Mandy, still suspended in the air with the support of his tentacles.

Junior blinked as he recognized the body. "Um, that's Mandy, Dad." He informed his father, for some reason thinking the demon did not know the identity of his captive.

Nergal nodded, "Yes, and as soon as Billy puts two and two together, we'll have ourselves a little friendly visit!" His lips spread in a toothy grin, eyes narrowing.

Junior quirked an eyebrow, "right, Dad. A friendly visit." He rolled his eyes, his father ignoring the comment.

"Here dear, I got the wall." Sis entered the room, carrying a strange box with her.

Junior's eyes widened. "What is THAT?"

Nergal smiled, patting Junior on his head. "Don't worry son, it's only a small fence to keep the girl from escaping, it's perfectly harmless." Junior gave no reply, instead lowering his eyebrows to uphold a 'whatever' expression as his parents started upstairs towards his room.
