Chapter seven
Best friends with the Devil
Teddy ran. She felt the fear as she ran through the woods. She heard something chasing her but she didn't dare look back. Her little legs carried her as fast as they could go. She stumbled over a rock in her path and fall over with a scream. She looked up and was met with monsters everywhere. All around her. There was no escape.
Teddy jumped up in bed with tears in her eyes. That was a dream? It felt so real. Teddy felt the fear still in her as she started to see things in the dark. She tried to tell herself that it was just her mind playing tricks on her but she wasn't convinced. She felt lonely in her big room all alone. So, she called a friend.
"Luci!" She called out to him. Lucifer heard the prayer and went to the little red-head's room. He saw her curled up in her bed. She had fear in her brown eyes and she was holding her stuff animal Frankie close to her.
"Teddy what's wrong?" He asked.
"I was running and they got me and I was so scared!" Teddy jumped off the bed and into the fallen angel's arms. He figured that it was nightmare because she was safe in her room and there were no monsters around. He sat on the edge of the bed and held her till she was calm again.
Teddy looked up and smiled at him. She gave him a hug and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you for coming Luci!" She said.
"Anytime brat." He said. He picked her up and placed her back in her bed. She snuggled deep in the blankets and pulled Frankie close. The angel watched as her brown eyes grew heavy and soon fell sound asleep.
The next morning Teddy woke up and crawled out of bed. She walked downstairs to the kitchen where everyone was up and Rocky was making breakfast. Teddy rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat down at the table.
"Hey princess. How did you sleep?" Dean asked.
"Good. I got a visit from Luci!" She said with a smile.
"Really? Why?" Grace asked.
"Because I had a nightmare and he came when I woke up." Teddy explained.
"What was the nightmare about?" Sam asked.
"Monsters." Teddy simply said. The group stopped everything and looked at each other. If she was having dreams about monsters then she was starting to understand them. The group knew it was going to happen. They were training her so she knew about them. They just weren't looking forward to her fearing them.
"You know that we will not let any monsters near you, right?" Dean said.
"Yeah, but in my dream Y'all weren't there. I was alone." Teddy frowned. Rocky walked over and put the food on the table and sat next to Dean.
"Ok Teddy first things first. Y'all is not a word, no matter what Grace says. Second off we will always be here." Rocky said.
"Yeah, I know. It was just a dream." Teddy smiled and grabbed some food. After breakfast the group got a call from some guy saying he had a case for them. The group quickly packed their bags and walked downstairs to say goodbye.
Teddy waited for the group in the living room with Bobby. Once they came down she ran to them and gave them all a hug.
"I'll miss y'all!" She said.
"What did I say? Y'all is not a word." Rocky said.
"Don't worry Teddy it's a word." Grace said sticking her tongue out at Rocky.
"I love y'all bye!" Teddy waved to the group as they walked out the door. She walked back to the living room where Pokémon was playing on the TV. She sat on the floor where her Pokémon cards laid out. Dean has gotten them for her on her sixth birthday. She loved them and said one day she was going to be rich because of them.
Soon Teddy got bored and ran to her room where all her toys were. She started to play but soon grew bored of this to. She wished she had a friend to play with but the only person around was Bobby but he was busy. She decided to call a friend.
"Luci! I'm bored!" She yelled to the air. She heard the angel appear and smiled. There stood Lucifer himself. She ran to him and jumped around.
"What do you want brat?" He asked.
"I'm bored! Play with me!" She answered.
"No. Why would I do that?"
"Because you love me!" Teddy smiled up to him.
"No I don't."
"Really? I'm sorry I thought you did. I guess I'm just a bother then. You can leave if you want." Teddy faked a cry. Lucifer looked down at the six year old who had her puppy eyes looking up at his icy blue eyes. Teddy pouted and sat on the ground and crossed her arms. Lucifer wondered why he felt the need to say sorry.
"Ok you brat what do you want to do?" He said after a few minutes.
"Yay! I want to play dress up!" She said getting back up.
"Ok what do you want to be?" He asked.
"A ninja!" She said jumping up and down. Lucifer sighed but made the little girls outfit appear. Teddy was dressed in a black top with red designs. Her pants were a mix of red and black to. She had two knives strapped to her waist which she took out. She looked at Luci and smiled.
"I declare war!" She yelled before chasing Luci around the room. She jumped on the bed and jumped on his back making him fall to the ground. Teddy stood up with a knife pointed to him.
"Do you give up?" She asked with smirk.
"If it stops this then yes." He said. Teddy cheered and let him get up.
"I want to be a pirate now! You can be my first mate to!" Teddy said.
"No, I'm done." Luci was about to leave but then looked at Teddy and saw her smile fall to a frown.
"Fine." He sighed but turned her outfit to a pirate one. She wore a white dress under a blue vest that flowed down the bottom of the dress. She wore black leather boots and a leather belt around her waist. She had a black pirate hat with a white fluffy feather sticking out of it. She held a sword with a gold handle. She looked at Luci and saw that he wore a white shirt with a long black coat over it. He wore a pair of black pants and he also wore leather boots.
"We need a ship!" Teddy said. So, Luci made her bed into a play pirate ship. He would have to remember to change that back before he left. Teddy climbed on the play ship and held her sword in the air.
"This is my ship and whoever boards shall obey me!" So, they played which was a lot of Teddy chasing Lucifer around with her sword and him wondering why he keeps giving her real weapons. Teddy and Luci soon were both fighting with swords and of course Teddy was winning.
"You can't beat your captain!" Teddy yelled.
"Who said you were the captain?" Lucifer asked.
"I did. So of course, it's right." Teddy smiled. Lucifer couldn't help but chuckle at that statement. She sounded so much like Rocky just then. Soon both the little girl and the angel fell on the floor both giving up. Teddy sat up and gently sat her sword on Luci's chest.
"I win! See? I am the captain." She cheered. Lucifer actually felt a smile grow on his face.
"I'm hungry! We should have a royal tea party!" Teddy got back up with Lucifer following.
"As you wish princess." He would never say it but he was actually having fun with the brat. Teddy's outfit changed to a gold dress with a fluffy skirt and a gold crown with jewels rested on her head. She pulled the dress up a little and saw glass slippers on her feet. She was surprised with how comfortable they were. She twirled around and the dress flowed around her.
"I need a prince now!" She looked at Lucifer. Lucifer just gave up fighting and changed his outfit to a red shirt with gold buttons and designs. He wore white plants with black boots. He also had a sword at his waist.
"Ok now we need a tea set." So, Lucifer turned the play ship to a table with tea cups and a matching tea pot. He then added the tea, finger sandwiches and treats.
While they were enjoying their tea, Michael decided to see where Lucifer was. When he appeared in the room both Teddy and Lucifer were sitting on fancy chairs eating treats and drinking tea.
"No Luci you have to hold your pinky up. Like this." Teddy held her pinky up and drink from the little tea cup to show Lucifer how. Lucifer sighed but followed her instructions. Michael was soon discovered. Teddy screamed and hide behind Lucifer. Lucifer was confused why she was hiding from his brother.
"Why are you hiding weirdo?" He asked.
"I don't like him! He's mean and bossy!" Teddy looked over Lucifer's shoulder at Michael.
"Right because I'm so kind." Lucifer said.
"You're nice to me!" Teddy smiled.
"Yeah well I still want my prize." He said.
"Why do you not like me?" Michael asked sounding offended.
"Because Dean hates you and Rocky calls you a bad word." Michael snorted.
"She probably calls me a lot of bad words."
"So why are you here?" Lucifer asked.
"I came to see what you were doing but now I think I regret that." Michael was about to leave when Teddy got an idea.
"We need a jester Luci!" Luci smiled and snapped his fingers. Michael was wearing a red and black jester costume with a big hat with bells on the end. Teddy and Lucifer burst out laughing.
"He needs to juggle!" Teddy said.
"Well of course. Michael juggle for the princess!" Lucifer declared. He made a few balls appear in Michael's hands and laughed when he dropped them.
"So, you're a powerful angel who can't juggle?" Lucifer asked. Michael threw the balls at his brother saying some words that would cost a few dollars in the swear jar.
Gabriel looked around Heaven and saw that two of his older brothers were gone. He started to look around and saw them at Teddy's. he got worried thinking the worse.
"Teddy! Are you…." He didn't finish his question because he was so shocked by what was in front of him. His two brothers were both dressed up like a prince and a jester. He couldn't have done it better. Teddy looked up at her favorite uncle and smiled. She ran to him and gave him a hug.
"Hey gummy bear. I think I'll head out but I'll see you later." Gabe said not wishing to join the game for once. Teddy smiled but shook her head no.
"Luci, dragon!" She pointed at Gabe.
"As you wish princess." Lucifer made a red dragon out of the trickster. He had red matching wings and a hood that covered his light brown hair. The hood looked like a dragon's face. He huffed and pouted.
"My prince you need to slay the dragon!" Teddy screamed.
"Oh, this will be fun!" Lucifer pulled his sword out and chased Gabriel around the room.
"What did I ever do to you Teddy?" Gabe yelled still being chased by the devil.
"Nothing I'm just bored." Teddy shrugged her shoulders. She watched and laughed when Lucifer fake stabbed his brother. Gabe fell to the floor faking his death very dramatically.
Teddy walked to Lucifer and gave him a hug.
"You saved the kingdom! How could I have ever repay you?" She asked
"I'll take Sam's soul." He said joking around. Michael walked over and hit his head.
"I was joking!" Lucifer said rubbing his head.
"That wasn't very nice Luci." Teddy said.
"Well I'm not nice brat." He said with a smile.
The group walked back in Bobby's house and dropped all their stuff on the floor.
"Bobby we'll home!" Grace yelled as they all walked to the study. Just then they all heard a scream come from Teddy's room but not a scared scream more like she was playing.
"Who else is here?" Sam asked.
"I have no idea and I don't want to know." Bobby said.
"Why not?" Rocky asked.
"Because I've been hearing that for hours so you all can take care of it." He said pointing to the stairs. The group walked upstairs to Teddy's room.
When they opened the door, they saw the devil in a prince outfit, Michael wearing a jester's costume, Gabriel looking like a dragon, and then Teddy wearing a princess dress.
"Grace go grab the camera quick." Rocky said. Grace ran off to her room where she put the camera. When she came back Rocky took it from her and started to video the angels and the little red head.
"Slay the dragon again!" Teddy said to Lucifer.
"Oh, come on! Haven't I been slayed enough." Gabriel said from the floor.
"Well if you stopped coming back then the prince wouldn't have to keep killing you." Teddy said.
"Right sorry for being alive." Gabriel said. The group laughed and were soon discovered.
"Yay! More friends!" Teddy said jumping up and down.
"What shall they be?" Lucifer asked.
"Gracie will be the queen, Cassie the king, Rocky can be a goddess, Sammy can be our slave, and Dean can be our knight!"
Grace was the first to change. She changed to a red floor length dress with white lace designs. The sleeves reached to her elbows and she wore a gold crown on her head. Her hair was done up in a fancy bun. Grace twirled around loving her new dress. Next was Castiel. He wore a long red and gold cape with a matching crown on his head. He wore under it a red shirt with white pants.
"I'm confused." He said looking down at the outfit.
"You're a king now." Grace explained.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because Teddy wanted you to be." Grace answered.
Lucifer moved on to Rocky. Grace quickly grabbed the camera and pointed it to Rocky. He made her a white dress with a gold belt around her waist. There was a silt in the right leg showing her gold shoes that reached her knees. She had gold bracelets on her wrist and a matching necklace.
"You should all bow down to your goddess." She said. She looked at Dean and laughed. His mouth was hanging open.
"You might want to close your mouth before flies get in." Rocky walked over to him and closed his mouth.
"You look... wow." Dean said.
"Thanks, my knight in shining armor." Rocky said taking a kiss from him.
Lucifer made his way to Sammy. He changed to a pair of brown worn-out pants and a white shirt that looked like it's seen better days.
"My slave!" Teddy said running to Sam.
"I'm not a slave." Sam pouted.
"You are the princess's slave and you will obey her Sammy." Lucifer said.
"Fine at least she's nice." Teddy grinned and pointed at Sammy.
"I need you to carry me around because princesses don't walk." Sam grumbled but picked her up and sat her on his shoulders. Next was Dean. He wore a full armor that was pure silver. He had a sword and a shield.
"Oh, yeah I'm a knight! This is awesome!" Dean said looking at his sword.
"Look Rocky! It's your knight in shining armor." Grace said.
"Yup! He's mine." Rocky said.
"Of course, baby." Dean said.
"Time for a ball!" Teddy yelled from Sam's shoulders. Lucifer made classical music fill the air.
"Prince dance with me!" Teddy said as Sam sat her back on the ground. Teddy grabbed his hands and danced around with him.
"Come on Cassie! Let's dance." Grace said. She saw that he looked confused as she placed one of his hands in hers and the other on her waist. She then placed her other hand on his shoulder. She guided him in the steps in the dance and they were soon dancing.
"May I have this dance my goddess?" Dean asked bowing to Rocky. Rocky put her finger on her chin like she was thinking and then nodded her head yes. Dean pulled her close and twirled her around the room. The others watched as the couples danced and they also stole food from the tea party.
Rocky looked at Michael and saw that he stopped juggling.
"You know he's not really funny. Maybe if he was set on fire he would be!" She said.
"Ok! Dragon set the jester on fire!" Teddy ordered. Michael looked at Gabriel and saw a smile form on the trickster's face.
"Come on Gabriel! You're going to take orders from a six-year-old!" Michael said. Gabriel made a flame in his hand and then tapped Michaels hat which caught on fire. Everyone burst out laughing.
Bobby heard the music and wondered what the others were up to so he went to go check. He walked upstairs and opened Teddy's door and saw everyone looking like they lived in a kingdom and Michael on fire. Bobby ran in the room and quickly grabbed the hat and stomped on it till the fire was out.
"You idjits! Are you trying to live on the street?" Bobby asked.
"He's magic! He took out the fire! He's a wizard Luci!" Teddy said to Lucifer. Lucifer turned to Bobby and changed his hat to a pointy navy hat. His clothes turned to a long navy robe and then he grew a long beard.
"What? Lucifer change me back!" He demanded.
"No, you're my wizard!" Teddy said. Bobby looked at the little girl and fell for her smile.
"Ok princess." He said. Teddy grabbed his hands and danced around with him.
The rest of the day was spent running around chasing the dragon and being bored by the jester. The princess threw more balls and tea parties that everyone was invited to. Soon the princess grew tired during a tea party and crawled to the prince. She curled up in to a ball on his lap and soon her eyes grew heavy.
"Well look at that. I guess a six-year-old can control the devil." Rocky said with a laugh.
"Shut up and take your brat." Lucifer said. He gently sat her in Grace's lap. Lucifer stood up and was about to leave when Bobby stopped him.
"Don't you have to change something first?"
"Oh right." He changed everyone back to their normal clothes and the tea set was again a bed.
Grace laid Teddy down on the bed and covered her up. Michael made a quick escape before he was forced to do anything again. Everyone walked out of the room and to the living room.
"I guess I better be gone." Lucifer said.
"Bye Luci!" Grace waved bye.
"Goodbye weirdos." And with that he was gone. Gabriel decided to follow his brother and annoy him because he turned him into a dragon.
"That was so much fun!" Grace said.
"Yes, because growing a beard is the best thing ever." Bobby said.
"I was dating a goddess." Dean smiled at Rocky.
"What do you mean? You're still dating a goddess." Rocky said.
"I'm still confused how Teddy can control my brother." Castiel said.
"It's because he cares for her and wants her to be happy." Grace explained.
"Yeah kind of like how you care for Teddy and us." Sam helped explained.
"But why Teddy?" He asked.
"Because she has him wrapped around her finger." Dean said.
"That's not possible."
"Ok Cas don't hurt yourself." Rocky laughed. Cas gave her head tilt still being confused but he stopped asking when the group sat down to watch a movie.
Soon everyone went to bed dreaming of their lives as a princess, queen, goddess, knight, king, prince, jester, dragon, wizard, and even a slave.
