The last time Sugar could remember going to an amusement park was the various beauty pageants she participated in as a child. She never went on any rides or played any games in the parks back then. For this reason, she was very excited that she was able to convince Crimson's crew to go to the Glam sister's performance at Loo Loo land. She wouldn't openly admit it, but everything about the park fascinated her.
The group of sharks and lizard demons entered the park in a cautious and intimidating manner with Crimson leading the way. Parents held their kids tightly as they watched the group stroll by. Sugar lingered behind the group and eyed the various carnival games they came across. One attraction caused her to pause. As she looked over her shoulder, she noticed a red dragon creature with eight bright green eyes. Her tail began to sway rapidly as she looked up at the beast.
"Crimmy! Look!" Sugar exclaimed. When she turned around to show Crimson the dragon, he was nowhere near her. She began to fly quickly and frantically to catch up with the rest of the group. She paused when she noticed Crimson and Alessio. The two men were happily chatting and laughing with each other. This irritated her.
Sugar flew up to Alessio's height and started fluttering around him. "Hey guys! They have a dragon here! I've never seen a dragon so close before! Let's go pet it! Unless you two are too occupied to actually have some fun here."
Alessio snarled at her and waved his claws like she was a fly he was trying to swat.
"Eh? Cookie, stop being a brat and get down here. We didn't come here to play around. We're here because you said helping your friends with their show would get us easier access to Mammon's dealings." Crimson said and gave her a cheesy grin. "I didn't think you'd be in a place like this."
"Come on! At least one game. Please?" Sugar began to pout. "I wanna pet the dragon too!"
"Ugh, I hate money wasting places like this. Look at all this overpriced garbage. It's all a scam." Crimson growled but then stopped himself from speaking further as he noticed Sugar excitement and giddiness. "Fine. After the show, We'll play some games and you can go see the dragon. That's it. Got that?"
Sugar squealed with excitement. Her and Crimson had been distant ever since she stole money from him. She thought that this trip would be a good opportunity to get close to him again. The first step was convincing him to help out the Glam sisters. The second step was getting him to have some fun with her. She noticed Leo was also present and watching her. His tail scraped across the ground in a depressed way as he watched Sugar clinging desperately onto Crimson.
The group walked inside the circus tent at the center of the park. The wooden seats were full of imp children of different ages screaming and chattering with each other. Sugar nodded to Crimson then headed backstage to meet up with Glitz and Glam.
The backstage area was dingy and dimly lit. Sugar wandered the hall aimlessly until she arrived at a door with Glitz and Glam's name on it. She shyly knocked on the door.
"Get in bitch." Glitz shouted.
Sugar looked around the dressing room in a curious manner. The walls were a turquoise color. Fairy lights were strung up the walls in the shape of seashells. The mirror the twins were doing their makeup in was large and bright.
"Came to see us win?" Glam chuckled.
"Um. That's what I wanted to talk to you two about. I brought my boss and his crew here to guarantee you win. I know you're both really good but Fizzarolli is really popular with kids. So I'm offering a boost." Sugar spoke hesitantly.
"We don't need a boost. In fact, we don't need most of our talents to impress those brats outside. What the hell do you know about competition anyways?" Glam rolled her eyes.
"Yea. What do you know? Aren't you a prostitute?" Glitz giggled
"Sometimes, Crimmy calls me a courtesan. Doesn't that sound super fancy? It's like I'm special." Sugar starts smiling as the twins laugh.
"Of course he does. Anyways, don't bother screwing around the vote. K? We'll bet that fugly imp robot with our own skills." Glam smirked.
Sugar felt anxious for them. From her past experiences, demon children were the harshest crowd to please. Her body began to tremble. "I really think you should let the Knolastname family help."
"Get lost remora. Just sit back and watch everyone adore us." The twins said in unison.
"What the hell is a remora and why does everyone from Envy keep calling me that?" Sugar exclaimed.
The Glam sisters shoved Sugar out of the dressing room and slammed the door harshly. Sugar sadly returned to the grandstands where Crimson and the crew were waiting for her.
"Ah. There's my girl. How'd the talk go with your new friends? Did they agree to our deal?' Crimson said as he lit a cigar.
"Definitely," Sugar said nervously.
"Great. This is gonna be fun. I only dragged my ass out here cause ya told me I get to fuck with a verison of Asmodeus' fuck boy. If I can get some insight on Mammon's newest cash cows, that'll be a bonus. "Crimson laughs and pats Sugar on the back. "You've been such a bitch lately but you really know how to give me a good distraction."
"Really boss?" Sugar started to smile.
"Yea. Now fix your makeup. Your eye is lookin puffy." Crimson says
Sugar gasped and quickly rummaged through her heart shaped purse to find her concealer but the lights shut off.
An announcer spoke from a speaker above the crowd. "Hey kids! Thanks for coming out to our special show today. Lord Mammon invited his newest mascorts to compete against our long standing animatronic,Robo Fizz. Today, you lucky little devils get to vote on who gets to promote our park and who gets thrown in the fucking trash like the garbage they are."
The children in the audience start laughing loudly at the announcer's statement. Sugar's pointed ears twitched at hearing the loud noises. She looked over at Crimson's face. He appeared to look visibly tired and stressed. Sugar tapped her ballet wrapped heels against the ground nervously as the music began to play from the stage. It all felt familiar to her and she hated it.
"Sugar-doll. You alright?" Crimson glanced over at her.
"Yea boss. I just have a lot of bad memories with places like this." Sugar's body trembled as she spoke. Her wings were flapping.
Crimson smirked when she said this. "A new weakness to exploit" he thought to himself. He put his arm around Sugar's shoulder as a weak attempt to give her some comfort. He saw her cheeks turn a softer shade of red which caused him to laugh.
After the performances, it was voting time. Crimson and his crew creep through the darkest of the tent and point their guns at the backs of a few hell spawn to force them into voting for the sisters. Sugar felt the heat of her cheeks start to rise as she watched Crimson in action. Thanks to them, the Glam sisters won every vote.
To celebrate, Crimson decided to play one of the games at the front of the park. Crimson thought he could impress her by playing one of the shooting games called "Stop that Soul". Unfortunately, he missed every shot.
"What the the fuck?" He screamed. "This thing is rigged!"
"Crimmy it's ok. I don't need a dumb plush dragon anyways." Sugar said in a frightened tone. She knew if Crimson got any angrier then things would get messier.
"I'm getting you the fucking toy" Crimson grabbed the man working the booth and started shaking him. "Hand it over. Now."
The worker stubbled backways and handed Sugar the dragon plush. She didn't know why was so determined to show off to her but she liked that side of him.
