Chapter 16: Trouble Into the Porn Studio

One evening in the Hazbin Hotel, Crystal is actually in the kitchen doing some cooking. She is wearing an apron with her hair in a ponytail braid, and wearing a bandana on her head. Since she has four arms, it's kind of interesting for her to do some cooking. Plus, it seems to be more helpful.

Crystal is cooking some food with a big smile on her face. She's been cooking stuff for sometime now, and is very excited. Just then, Charlie and Niffty walks into the kitchen.

"Hi Crystal, whatcha doing?" Charlie replies.

"Hi Charlie, I'm just making a dinner box," Crystal says.

"A dinner box, huh," Charlie says, looking at the box.

There, she can see some rice on one corner, along with some salad on the other corner. She then turns to see Crystal is cutting some chicken, garlic, and other stuff.

"So who are you making it for? Is it for your dinner?" Niffty asks.

Crystal blushes a bit and says, "Well, um, no it's not for me, it's for uh…"

"If it's not for you, then who…" Charlie says.

She soon realizes and smiles, "Oooh, I think I know who it belongs to. Is it for a certain Spider Demon Porn Star?"

"Um yeah, it's for Angel Dust. He told me that he's going to be working very late and I thought it would be nice to make him some dinner and bring it over. I sometimes make food for my dad and my brother when they work late," Crystal says, embarrassed.

"Awww," Charlie and Niffty gushes with a smile.

Then Charlie happily says, "That is so sweet. I'm sure Angel will love it."

"Well, I do hope so, but I'm not sure about entering the Porn Studios. They're not really my thing and well, you know… for lots of reasons," Crystal says, turning even more red.

"Yeah. I remember why. It's because Angel's boss is there," Charlie says, understanding the situation.

Then Niffty says, "And let's not forget Velvet. She took some pictures of you and Angel."

"I'm still embarrassed about that," Crystal replies.

"Well, you're right about being aware that Valentino is going to be at that studio, and is not going to let you see Angel so easily," The familiar girl voice says.

The girls turn to see Vaggie standing at the entryway of the kitchen.

"Hey Vaggie, how are you doing?" Crystal asks.

"Doing fine. I have to assume you're making this for Angel since he'll be working later," Vaggie says, walking towards them.

Then mutters, "Even though he shouldn't be working there to begin with."

"Um yeah, but I'm a little concerned. What if Valentino and Velvet see me? Velvet might embarrass me like that stunt she pulled on me and Angel. And I don't even want to think what Angel's boss might do," Crystal says.

"Yeah. You probably don't," Niffty replies.

"Hmm, we could try to get you a disguise, or try to get Angel to come outside?" Vaggie suggests.

"Well, Angel told me he'll be on a pretty tight schedule, so it will be best for me to go there and deliver him the food myself. I just need to get myself a good disguise so I won't be recognized," Crystal says.

The girls think about the situation.

Then Niffty has an idea, "I know just the disguise for you.

A little time later, Niffty and the others have Crystal set up in a good disguise, and suspect this is going to work. They also manage to get Lilac involved with the dress up and make up session. Once they're done, they step back and look at their work.

"Aww, you look so cute. And of course, very different," Charlie says.

"And it's the perfect disguise to going to a exclusive place like the Porn Studio," Niffty adds.

Crystal looks at herself in the mirror to see her new look. She is wearing a suit shirt with a folded color and long sleeve, a black suit vest, black dressed pants, and black dress shoes. She is also wearing a blue necktie tucked into the vest, and white gloves. She is wearing a little makeup to not be recognized. Her hair is also in a bun and is also covered by a black fedora. She is also wearing sunglasses.

Confused, Crystal asks, "Uh, are you sure this is going to work? I look like a bartender in this."

"You're going to do great!" The girls say.

Crystal sighs, "Easy for you to say, you're not the one who has to wear this."

"Don't worry, all you have to do is walk in and remain quiet. Act like a normal bartender or a customer and walk into the back room where the dressing rooms are. You'll give him the food and come out without running any suspicion," Lilac explains.

"If you say so. I just hope I don't draw too much attention to where Angel is working on it," Crystal replies.

A little time later, Crystal is walking down the street with the bag that has the dinner she has made in hand. She uses her Hellphone and thanks to Charlie, is able to get the address and follow the directions to find the building. Crystal looks up and is rather shocked and her face turns red to see the building.

The studio is a large building with approximately seven floors. It features the motif of a woman's parted lips between its signage, as well as three decorative pink 'X's across its center. Leaning against the building is a large, neon decoration of an imp adult actress, who is holding a neon sign reading 'hot girls' in a cursive font. Her tail curves around the building and points back at the Porn Studios header signage. On top of the building is a pole, with four string lights connecting the pole to the edges of the roof. The windows are tinted pink, and the build around the windows is a deep mahogany-pink.

"So this is the Porn Studio where Angel Dust is working at. Ugh. I'm starting to have doubts about this," Crystal says, showing deep anxiety.

She sighs and says, "Oh well, I'm here now, so I might as well go in." and puts the sunglasses on her face.

She then walks inside and well, to her surprise, she can see a lot of people inside the building, and there is a bar, along with a stage in front of some tables with chairs. The stage also has a few poles with some demons dancing on it.

"Oh my god…" Crystal mutters and her cheeks turn red.

Then says in thought, "Calm down Crystal. It's just a studio. You just need to ask someone where Angel Dust's dressing room is and take him the box. Nothing more."

Crystal takes another deep breath and begins to walk around and see if she can ask anyone for some direction. Suddenly she begins to hear a few whispers, and notices that some are even staring at her.

"Keep cool, Crystal. Keep cool," Crystal says in thought.

Suddenly, someone shouts, "Hey you!"

Crystal flinches in shock, and turns her head to see a rather muscular demon about her size and is wearing a bow tie and a collar, and jeans, and he isn't wearing a shirt.

"Um yes, sir…" Crystal asks, nervously.

"We need you to get to the bar and serve table twelve…" The muscular demon says.

"Huh… wait… I… I'm not really a…" Crystal speaks up.

But the demon grabs her wrist and says, "No excuses!" And drags her away.

He then drags Crystal to the bar, "Hey, found someone to carry the order."

The bartender at the bar places the drinks on the tray and gives it to Crystal. Reluctantly, Crystal ends up taking it.

"Um okay… where is table twelve?" Crystal nervously replies.

The muscular demon points towards the table, "Over there."

"Okay…" Crystal nervously says.

Crystal nervously walks towards the table and asks, "Um, are… are you table twelve?"

"Uh yes…" The wolf sinner answers.

On the table is a wolf sinner and an Incubus demon. Crystal places the drinks on the table and walks away. Luckily, she has the box in the bag on her lower arms.

Before she can leave, the demon calls out to her, "Hey, we need you to take table six's order."

"Oh… okay…" Crystal nervously says.

Crystal walks over to table six and asks, "Um can I take your order?"

"A glass of gin and a vodka, a couple of shots," The demon says.

"Okay," Crystal says and writes the order.

She then leaves to the bar and hands the guy the paper and he completes the order with no trouble. Then Crystal delivers the drinks and shots to them.

Just then, glass shatters and the guy calls out to Crystal again, "Clean up on table seven."

"Okay," Crystal says.

Then the guy calls, "There are customers that need to be seated…"

"Okay," Crystal says, and rushes over.

And escort a group of sinners to a table close to the stage.

Then someone calls out, "We're ready to order!"

"Coming!" Crystal says, and rushes to a different part of the area.

Sometime later, Crystal is tired from the sudden work she has to do. She sits down at the bar and is feeling tired. She feels that she has to hop from one assignment to another.

"This… this was tiring. I know I had to serve tables while disguised, but this is much," Crystal says, tiredly.

She then looks at the boxed dinner for Angel and says, "I really need to find Angel and give him this."

Crystal then begins to walk towards somewhere to find Angel, but then someone calls out, "Hey you…"

Crystal turns around to see a different demon with a box, "We need this delivered to Film Room B on the third floor."

"I uh… well," Crystal says, reluctantly.

She sighs in defeat and says, "Sure."

Crystal then takes the package and delivers it to the room. Crystal knocks on the door and the demon answers for her to give the package too. Crystal is about to leave, but to her luck, someone opens the door and throws a sack of laundry at her. Crystal is then ordered to take it away to get it washed. She then was ordered to make some deliveries like packages, supplies, costume and outfit changes, and all kinds of stuff. As she delivers them to the dressing rooms, she ends up finding different film rooms that have films being made, photo room where people are in photo shoots, and well, some of the dressing room show very people in bondage, having sex, and other that Crystal can't even describe.

Crystal is finally able to get a break from all this which feels like hours, but she feels dizzy and tired from all the running around, and flustered of stuff she never expected or wanted to see in her life.

She groans and mutters, "Fuck, this has to be the worst. I just wanted to bring him some dinner, and who knows how long I've been doing this. Right now, I just want to go home and go to bed."

Unknown to her, someone walks out of the room close by and Crystal bumps into her suddenly.

Crystal quickly says, "I.. uh… sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going?"

"C-Crystal…?" A voice answers, and it's very family.

Crystal, still dizzy and flustered, looks up to see Angel Dust, wearing only his black boots and a pink miniskirt.

"Crystal, what the fuck are you doing here?!" Angel asks, looking rather shocked.

"I… I… I…" Crystal reluctantly says.

Then presents him the box, "I… I kind of want to bring you dinner since you'll be late… but I was caught up with serving drinks… delivering food, clothes, and a lot of stuff to the people in the different rooms in different floors of the building. And well. I'm… just tired," Then she suddenly collapses.

Luckily, Angel catches her before she hits the ground.

Angel sighs and says, "Come on, let's get you to my dressing room before someone sees you and figures out you're not really an employee here."

Angel Dust then picks up Crystal in his arms and takes her to his dressing room. Luckily, it's actually on the same floor they are in and the room is close by.

Inside the dressing room, Crystal is laying on the bed that is in the dressing room as Angel places the box on the small drawer next to the bed. Crystal is feeling less flustered and has calmed down.

Angel sits down and asks, "Feeling better?"

"A little better…. I'm sorry for getting myself into this mess," Crystal says.

"Well, uh, I really didn't like the idea of you coming here, especially when Valentino and Velvet are here. I'm just surprised you got mistaken for a worker. Then again, with that outfit, it kind of screams bartender and employee," Angel says.

Crystal sits up and says, "I know. Maybe coming here was a bad idea."

"Yeah it was," Angel says with his arms crossed.

Then look at the box, "So uh, you said that you got me dinner?"

"Yeah. I made you some dinner and wanted to bring it to you because you said you'll be working late," Crystal answers.

Angel smiles and places his hand on her shoulder, "Uh thanks, you really didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it."

"You're welcome, and uh, thank you," Crystal says, and shows a small smile.

"No problem, Crystal," Angel says.

Crystal and Angel turn to each other and give each other smiles.

Then Crystal says, "Uh, you should eat up. I'm sorry if it's already cold, and…"

"No, it's fine," Angel says.

Then opens the box, "Can't let food go to waste."

Angel then looks to see cooked chicken, with rice, salad, and a small package that has some cookies in it.

Angel takes a bite of it with his fork and says, "Huh, this tastes really good."

"I'm…. I'm glad you like it," Crystal says, pleased and still flustered.

Sometime later, Crystal walks out of the room, and says, "Thanks Angel. I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, and try to make sure you stay outta trouble," Angel says, and teases her as he rubs her cheek.

Crystal blushes and says, "Shut up."

Angel leans to Crystal and kisses her on the cheek, catching her by surprise.

"Hasta La bye bye," Angel says, and goes back to his dressing room.

Crystal smiles and her cheeks are turning red all over again. She happily sighs with a smile and begins to walk down the hall with a big smile on her face. She feels like her head is in the clouds and has landed on cloud nine. She walks down the hall as she humming a tune with a smile, and begins to spin a bit. But her daydream has been broken when she bumps into someone and falls forward and lands on the ground.

Crystal groans as she tries to lift herself up.

Then mutters, "Ow, fuckin damnit…"

She then says, "I'm sorry, I'm really starting to get into a bad habit of bumping into people."

"Oh, it's no hard feelings darling, but I don't think I've seen you around before…" A voice says.

Crystal eyes wide in shock and recognizes the quickly turns around to see the familiar moth demon in the red coat and wears the red top hat. And holding a cigarette that is letting out red smoke from the end.

He evilly grins showing his sharp teeth and questions, "What's bringing you here?"

Crystal finds herself in even more trouble to see the face from the incident at the warehouse and what Angel told her about his boss, Valentino.
