Another day in Hell only this day was more remarkable in the human world, Halloween. The time of the year when humans dress up in scary or fun costumes, eat candy, have spooky Halloween parties, or create a haunted house. Lots of sinners in Hell still recall their fun Halloween times before the whole being dead thing. Thought, many hellborn demons didn't get the whole excitement over this holiday. Down at the Hazbin Hotel, both Andy and Kara were decorating the hotel lobby with spooky Halloween decorations that Kara had conjured up. She loved Halloween; it was her favorite holiday.
Husk ignored the decorations that the two of them had put all around the hotel. Husk grabbed a bottle of booze but he had only taken one sip from the bottle before spattering out the booze, sputtering and coughing. "What the hell? Who put salt in my booze?!" Husk shouted.
Kara snickered at the little prank that someone had done to Husk. Just then Angel popped out of the shadows and tried to scare Kara but she didn't even jump in fear. "What? Nothing?" Angel asked in confusion.
"Takes a lot more than a jump scare to scare me." Kara stated, "But nice prank on Husk."
Niffty, Charlie, Vaggie, and Alastor came down to the lobby only to find it all decorated with fake spiders, webs, and rubber bats. "What's with the lobby?" Vaggie asked.
"It's Halloween Vags! The spookiest time of the year." Andy stated as he placed a jack-o-lantern on the bar table.
"You can't tell us that you guys never celebrated Halloween when you were alive?" Kara asked.
All of them shook their heads, which was a shock for both Andy and Kara. That was when Kara had the perfect idea, she was going to bring them to a Halloween party. Vaggie was dead set against the idea; sinners can't just leave Hell. Of course, Kara had found a loophole for that, Queen Bee was hosting a Halloween party in Gluttony. Plus she wanted to make costumes for everyone. Vaggie just rolled her eyes but Charlie loved the idea. Though, Husk turned down the idea of joining them; he already got annoyed by Angel's prank. Kara chuckled then she immediately went up to her guest room which doubled as her sewing room.
She spent most of the day sewing the costumes together, but she noticed that she was running low on fabric. She needed a little more fabric to complete the rest of the costumes. So she grabbed her purse and then made sure that her room was locked so no one would go into her room. She headed out to the Hotel and headed to her favorite shop downtown. She had only just walked inside when she bumped into someone. That someone was Fizzarolli, he never leaves the Lust Ring alone and yet he was here, alone. "Fizz, what brings you to Pride?" Kara asked.
"I needed some supplies for me and Asmodeus's costumes. We're going to Bee's party. I'm guessing we'll be seeing you there as well." Fizzarolli said.
"Yeah. I ran out of material for the final touches on the costumes. I'm bringing Charlie and her crew to the party. I need to get them out of the hotel." Kara explained.
Fizz offered to help Kara with her list if she helped him out. Kara was more than happy to help Fizzarolli out. Together, the two of them got their supplies but Kara went to the back, trying to find something for her costume when she bumped into a demon that was the last person she wanted to see. "Vox." Kara spat out.
"Ms. Melody." Vox spat out back.
"What do you want, you overrated TV set?" Kara asked in a snippy tone.
"Now is that any way to talk to an old friend?" Vox said as he reached out to touch Kara's shoulder.
She slapped his hand away then left muttering, "Bitch." So, she and Fizzarolli left the shop with their items and then exchanged goodbyes, hoping to see each other at the party. When Kara returned to the hotel, she had only taken one step inside and saw Husk pinning Angel to the ground. Alastor was just standing there, laughing. "What's going on?!" Kara shouted, pulling Husk off of Angel.
"Ask the fucker that made me look like an idiot!" Husk shouted.
"I just used a laser pointer to mess with Husk. It was hilarious." Angel said, laughing. "I got it on video."
"Husk, it was just a harmless prank. Lighten up a little." Kara said.
Kara spent the rest of the day putting together the final touches on the costumes. When she finished the costumes, Charlie and the gang went inside her room ready to change into their costumes. Charlie and Vaggie were going as Glinda and Katniss Everdeen, Kara made her costume as Satine, and Alastor's costume was Dr. Faciliar. "I am not wearing this!" Alastor said.
"Al, come on! It's fun. Besides you already got the power." Kara said.
Alastor grumbled then put the costume on. Andy loved his Jessica Rabbit costume; the movie was his and his boyfriend's favorite. Niffty wore her Elphaba costume but she didn't want to go to the party. And Angel imminently changed into his Esmeralda costume which he was loving. "Perfect, now we are ready," Kara stated.
Husk and Niffty stayed behind at the hotel; mostly because Husk was still sour from Angel's prank. The gang traveled to the Gluttony Ring; a car was waiting for them just outside the elevator courtesy of the Queen of Gluttony herself. All of them piled into the car then the car drove off to Queen Bee's house where the party was happening. When they arrived, the party was in full swing. Demons all dressed up, Halloween-themed treats and refreshments were all out, demons dancing even performing on a small stage in their costumes. Queen Bee was there at the entrance, greeting the guests.
"Kara! You made it! And I see you brought Luci's daughter with you. Been a while Charlotte. " Beelzebub said, inviting them inside.
"It's Charlie, but it's nice to see you again Bee," Charlie said.
Andy ran off to the snack bar while Charlie dragged Vaggie to the dance floor. Alastor avoided interacting with people by sticking with Kara and Angel. Kara wanted to check out the performers on the stage. The announcer happened to be Fizzarolli dressed up as Beetlejuice. "Alright, all you creeps and spooks! Let's keep this party going with the next performance with Molly, Aasha, and Cherri Bomb in their rendition of, The Hex Girls!" Fizz announced.
The curtain rose as Fizz stepped off of the stage as Cherri, Molly, and Aasha appeared dressed up as the Hex Girls. With Aasha playing the bass, Cherri playing the drums and Molly on the mic.
I'm gonna cast a spell on you
You're gonna do what I want you to
Mix it up here in my little bowl
Say a few words and you'll lose control
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(I'm gonna put a spell on you)
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(Put a spell on you)
The crowd was going wild dancing and cheering. Angel, on the other hand, was surprised to see Molly here. "Angel, I wasn't aware you had a clone," Alastor commented.
"Uh, Al. That's my twin sister, Molly." Angel stated, "I haven't seen her in a long time."
You'll feel the fog
As I cloud your mind
You'll get dizzy
When I make the sign
You'll wake up in the dead of night
Missing me when I'm out of sight
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(I'm gonna put a spell on you)
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(Oh yeah)
With this little cobweb potion
You'll fall into dark devotion
If you ever lose affection
I can change your whole direction
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(I'm gonna put a spell on you)
I'm a Hex Girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
We're gonna put a spell on all of you!
The girls finished performing as the crowd cheered. The three of them got off the stage; Cherri kissed Kara on the lips, liking her costume. She even got Kara a drink of witch's brew, which was punch. The second Molly saw her brother, she squealed with delight and then pulled Angel in for a bear hug. "Molls. I'm happy to see you too. Now can you please release me?! I can't breathe." Angel said, trying to breathe.
Molly quickly released her brother "Sorry, Tony. But I missed you, baby brother." she said.
"Molls! Ex-nay on the Ony-Tay!" Angel hissed in embarrassment.
Kara almost choked on her drink while Cherri snickered. "Baby brother? I thought you two were twins." Cherri asked.
"We are twins. But I'm the older twin."
"By two fucking minutes!" Angel shouted. What's next? Nissy's gonna be here as well?"
Well, Angel jinxed it because Arackniss was at the party with Pentious. Angel saw his older brother there; he was practically screaming on the inside. It was a Spider Sibling reunion here. Angel almost slipped away but Molly spotted their older brother and ended up dragging Angel and Kara by the arm to see their brother. Arackniss was surprised to see them here at the party, he only came because Pentious dragged him to the party. "Niss. I didn't think this was your scene. You never like parties." Molly stated.
"Thought I'd try something different. Kara, always a pleasure seeing you again." Arackniss said to Kara.
"Note to self, make sure that you two aren't at any events I go to," Angel muttered before grabbing a drink.
"Oh, come on, Tony. It's been a long time since we were all together. Plus, I get to hang out with the gal that you are working with. And saved me." Molly stated.
Angel nearly choked on his drink hearing that. "What!?" He shouted.
"Oh, Tony! You should get up on stage. I signed you up to perform!" Molly said, trying to change the subject.
Angel gave his sister a "we're not done with this conversation look" before walking backstage. Alastor decided to get up front to see Angel's performance. Fizzarolli got up on stage and announced, "Alright! Give it up for the finest demon in all of Hell. Dance La Angel Dust… Dance!"
Blue smoke surrounds Fizzarolli which helps him slip off stage then Angel appears on stage. He even had a tambourine with a veil on the end of it to help out with the performance. He waved the tambourine in front of his face, making it more of a flirty move. Alastor's eyes almost popped out of his skull seeing Angel.
Hey, soldier boy
I see how you stare
Hey, butcher man
I see you admire
Come gather 'round
Hey, Jacques and Pierre
Come see me dance
To the rhythm of the tambourine
Angel was twirling around the stage with the tambourine on stage. Flipping his skirt up, kicking up his ankle and even rolling his shoulders to get heads turning.
Flash of an ankle
Flip of a skirt
Feel them excite
Inflame and inspire
Come see me dance
Hey, what can it hurt?
It's just a dance
To the rhythm of the tambourine
The music went into an instrumental dance break which Angel was more than happy to pull out all the stops. He even backflipped in Alastor's arms which made the Radio Demon blush up a storm. Angel even went the extra mile and pecked Alastor on the cheek then slipped out of his arms. Angel even took Alastor's staff without Alastor knowing until Angel used it to pull out some of his pole dance moves. Angel was getting the crowd fired up with his dance moves. Molly and Arackniss asked Kara if they could have a word with her. She followed Arackniss and Molly to a quiet spot so they could chat.
"Molly, you still haven't told your brothers about your so-called, ex," Kara asked.
"What ex?" Arackniss growled.
Molly ended up telling Arackniss about what happened that night Kara and Aasha saved her from her ex. Arackniss almost wanted to go kill the man again, but Kara stopped him. "Alright, that's enough," Kara said.
"Well, I suppose a thank you for saving my sister," Arackniss said.
They went back to the stage area to see the rest of Angel's performance. Well, she and Molly, Arackniss went away to find Pentious.
Men of Paris
Before we get old
Come feel the heat
Come taste the desire
Feel them within you
Crimson and gold
Gold like the coins
You will toss into my tambourine
When I dance
To the rhythm of the tambourine
He finished the dance with a little disappearing act then he reappeared right beside the girls. "Hey, where'd Nissy go?" Angel asked.
But the girls didn't say anything, Arackniss hadn't told Angel about him and Pentious. He wasn't too sure how he was gonna react. Angel took off and went into the crowd to find his older brother. But when he did, his face went into shock; he saw his older brother kissing Sir Pentious. He was about to confront his brother when he saw a little snake demon that looked like a mix of Pentious and Arackniss come running and hugged Arackniss. The little snake was even dressed up like Arackniss. "Jackie, what's wrong?" Arackniss asked in a soft tone.
"I just missed you Daddy." the kid said, muffled since he buried his face in Arackniss's neck.
"I wasn't far Jackie. I was with Auntie Molly. You remember her?"
"Mmhmm."
"Besides, you had Papa keeping you company."
"But I wanted us to spend Halloween together."
"And we are. Jackie, I promise just another half hour then we'll go home and have a nice relaxing movie night."
Angel walked over to Arackniss with a hated look. Arackniss handed Jackie over to Pentious and asked him to watch their kid. Arackniss then turned to Angel, "Tony, I can explain."
"Explain what? That you're gay, you're dating Sir nerdious-Snake and playing house?" Angel questioned.
"Don't call my husband that" Arackniss said but then he quickly covered his mouth.
"Husband!?" Angel shrieked. "Oh okay! So, when it was me, I got disowned. But you get a husband and a kid?! Pops would never allow this."
"Tony…"
"I don't want to hear it! You have always been Pops' favorite! It's no surprise then!"
Before Arackniss could say another word, Angel took off. So much for a nice Halloween.
