It has been a few centuries since Chloe passed and even then, he couldn't forget her. He could never forget her. Too bad he still wasn't allowed to step foot in the Silver City, but it helped to know that she's not anywhere unpleasant.

Lucifer roamed the Earth still, visited Hell once in a while to check on how Maze is doing being the new caretaker. Of course, he also had to make sure she had complete control of everyone and gave her a bit of his power so she could smite anyone who wanted to oppose her. He wasn't going to go back and do his Father's bidding, not after Him taking his detective away.

The devil could have raised Hell on Earth, or wage war in Heaven, yet he knew if he did, Chloe would hate him.

Even after all this time, she had him wrapped around her fingers.

No matter how much he switched cities every twenty-some years, he was still drawn to Los Angeles. The apartment that Chloe and her spawn lived in, he never allowed anyone to occupy, much less move any of the things there.

His Hills Estate had all her other stuff, mostly the ones from the precinct. Her desk, her computer. He managed to get all those with some elbow grease and a killer smile, however, nothing could ever amount to the real thing.

The club prospered as always, Lucifer made sure only the best people ran it for him.

He'd revisit some of the places they went to, and he ended up attending one more high school reunion at the same exact campus. He wasn't undercover or whatever, but it just reminded him of how Chloe, for once, let go and be an irresponsible adult for a few hours.

The minute he stepped in, Drops of Jupiter was playing again. When he first heard it, it really didn't mean anything to him, but it would seem that the words meant something else, now that she's not on Earth anymore.

But tell me did you sail across the sun

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded

And that heaven is overrated?

Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star

One without a permanent scar

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

For some odd reason, he began to tear up. Why? Why was he getting emotional over a song?

But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

And head back to the milky way

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind

Was it everything you wanted to find

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?

That's when he sees her. Lucifer does a double-take and his frown deepens as he regards this phenomenon as a cruel joke that his Dad is playing on him. He was going to turn his heels and leave but he couldn't.

She's busy fiddling with her phone that she bumped into him.

"Oh sorry!" She quickly mutters an apology. "You look familiar. Have we met before? I could've sworn I've seen you naked."

Lucifer seems to be struck by lightning.

"Of course you've seen me naked," He replies eventually "but that was eons ago, I believe."

"Really? Hey, I'm Chloe." She offers her hands and he sighs, a little annoyed.

"Lucifer. Morningstar." He takes her hand and gives it a friendly shake, immediately felt the connection.

"Lucifer Morningstar. Is that a stage name or something?"

His lips start to tremble but he had to compose himself. He replies, voice a bit shaky.

"God-given, I'm afraid."

"Nice to meet you, Lucifer. Well, enjoy the party."

Lucifer ran both hands over his face and exhaled. Her soul had been reassigned. Same name, same eyes, same hair, same almost everything, the only difference, he's not part of her life anymore. Which is actually a good thing.

Of course, a different scenario plays in his head where she goes to tell him that she's here solely for him, having beaten all the odds.

Wishful thinking. Still, his Detective existing at the same time is enough.

"Welcome back, Chloe." The devil whispers under his breath. When he finally found the courage to leave, a hand held his that he had to stop in his tracks.

"I wasn't allowed in Hell," She began, "being a miracle and all, and I don't really feel guilty about anything, so I did a lot of naughty stuff in the Silver City, still nothing so nefarious to get kicked out, but you know me. I had a few choice words with your siblings too. You should've seen their faces when I yelled at them, Lucifer. Priceless.

Also, I hated seeing you mope. I thought you'd have moved on in two years time, but you never did. Which is why I had to do something. I've had my fun there, and you're right, Heaven was indeed overrated. I made a deal with your Dad and was only allowed to come back at this exact moment. I remembered everything the minute our paths crossed."

Lucifer was left speechless. Wishful thinking no more.

"I've missed you."

A/N: This was supposed to be a bittersweet version where it really was just wishful thinking. Hahahah. Guess I wanted a happy ending after all? :D
