"WELL, IT'S WAFFLE TIME, IT'S WAFFLE TIME, WON'T YOU LIKE SOME WAFFLES OF-!"

SMACK!

"Ow!" JD cried, shielding his head for fear of another smack.

"Shut your damn mouth." Perry growled tetchily. "I hate that song."

JD whined, "But I love it!" His bright blue eyes shone with childlike tears.

Perry hesitated for half a second. "Don't care." Came the reply that gave nothing away.

JD pouted.

Perry bit his lip. Dammit kid. Do you want to get molested in the Gateway to freaking Hell? The sides of his mouth twitched.

As the puckered lip didn't disappear, Perry guessed Newbie did.

But, as if on cue, a light seemed to burst out of nowhere, illuminating them and brightening the darkness around them to a dark gray. JD jumped at least ten feet in the air and Perry shadowed his eyes with an arm to keep from going blind.

And just like that, they were out.

"What in the hell-"

"Jumpsuit, do you really think it's a good idea to use that phrase after that?"

"-where you thinking? I realize you guys got the hots for each other 'n all but Goddammit could you be any dumber?" The Janitor bellowed. JD blushed at the uniform-clad man's choice of words. "Never in my years as a Shifter have I seen such carelessness. Do I fool around when I'm stuffing another addition to my Squirrel Army? No! This is serious business here!"

Perry didn't even want to ask. He snorted, "Whatever. Nothing happened, what're you yellin' about?"

The Janitor hissed, "Something could have happened!"

"But nothing did!" Perry snarled back, not about to take back that kiss.

JD watched the two bicker back and forth, uneasy. He knew exactly how to handle the Others when they got to shouting at each other- a good smack on the head usually did the trick (much like how Perry had dealt with him earlier), with Ben and Dan anyway- but he hadn't known these two for over a thousand years. He was clueless.

"Guys, guys!" Carla said loudly, coming in between the two, "Stop with this! Everything's fine now, let it go!"

The two men paused, glaring at each other, before huffing and stalking off in different directions.

It was not pure coincidence that Perry went straight to JD and the Janitor to Elliot.

Carla let out a sigh and leaned against Turk's shoulder. At this rate, they were never going to get anything done if the two people in charge were arguing.

Jordan let out a sigh of relief. "He's gone. Lucifer won't go to him now. Not with all the others with him."

Ben's tightened muscles relaxed.

Dan nodded. "Especially since one of those is Johnny's- y'know- Destined One." He said confidently.

Ben rolled his eyes with a small grin, "Do you have to make it sound so damn corny, Danny?"

Dan grinned back, "Why of course, Benjamin."

Jordan smacked both of them over the head. "Quiet, morons. This is serious." She snapped, instantly back to being the Queen of Mean again. Her previous relief still showed on her face, however.

"You sound like that duckling from the Wonder Pets." Dan snickered. Luckily for he and Ben, one of the prison guards was much kinder than the others, and let the two know what was new in the outside world of Earth whenever they asked. When they were alone, of course. If Lucifer ever discovered her hidden heart he would have her killed for certain.

She was also a former human, after all. She knew how they felt.

"The- you know what? Screw it, I don't want to know." Jordan quipped, crossing her arms over her chest, looking more than a little annoyed. "How you two haven't driven me to madness so far is beyond me."

"As if anyone could truly drain you of your sanity, Jordan." A female voice called cheerily from the stairs just outside the bars of the chamber.

Dan's head shot up and his grin grew wider. "Molly!"The shape of a feminine figure appeared at the bottom step and a shadowed hand reached out to light one of the candles on the wall. Once lit, the entire chamber brightened and there stood the blonde Molly Clock, demoness and former human.

She gave one of her best happy smiles (which Jordan called creepy as hell) and entwined her dainty little fingers together. "Your brother's all right now, Dan, don't you worry!" Jordan winced at the blonde's squeaky voice, but little did she know that there was another blonde on Earth that could easily outmatch Molly's high-pitched tones.

"I know." Dan replied, "I felt it. His aura just vanished."

Molly nodded vigorously in agreement. "I still can't believe how powerful you all are; his power could be felt all throughout Hell!" Molly had the tendency to speak with a better vocabulary than most demons. Dan guessed it had something do with the fact that she had been transformed during the eighteen-hundreds. Or sometime around then. I think... Thinking that, Dan also realized she was way, way younger than all three- no, four, counting Johnny- of them.

It had been so long that he couldn't quite remember what time period they had been transformed in. But he could still remember his now-deceased family quite vividly. Their mother had been rather vain, needy and just a bit whiny. Their father had been... well... not around very often. Not often enough to really figure him out, anyway.

"Say, Molly," Ben said perhaps a little too nonchalantly, "have you thought over my offer yet?"

Molly's smile didn't waver, "Yes. My answer is still no, I will not go to that 'awesome centuries-old bar' with you when you get out." She answered with nothing but merry cheer.

Jordan had to cover a hand with her mouth to keep from laughing from the look on her brother's face.

Ben pouted dejectedly. It didn't seem to have the same effect as JD's pout had that same day.

"Ouch." Dan managed to squeeze out between wheezing laughs.

"So," Jordan began once she had regained herself. Beside her, Dan was still letting out raspy guffaws. She ignored him, just barely. "At this rate, we'll be out soon."

"Yes," Molly agreed with another happy nod, "and hopefully I'll go with you."

"'Course you will, Molly!" Ben exclaimed, a bit overdramatically, "As if I'd- we'd go anywhere without you!"

Molly's grin turned a little awkward. " Okay, Benjamin. Whatever you say."

Jordan rolled her eyes with a smirk, because Jordan Sullivan did not smile. For the life of her, she couldn't understand why her brother had this odd infatuation for the blonde rainbow-vomiting demoness. Dan had it too, but not as intense... if his irritating laughter was of any evidence.

Dan was rolling on the floor by now, "My s-s-spleen!" He choked out.

A/N: Hey, guys! I'm so sorry that I've been taking so long to update. Life's been, well, life's been a bitch lately. School, homework, birthdays, fundraisers, visits; it's just been really busy. From now on, I think it would be safe to say to expect an update pretty much every weekend unless I actually find some free time during the week- which would be a miracle. Review?
