59 days left until Extermination...
"I can't believe it!" Charlie exclaimed. Alastor and Husk walked over to the group and talked to the cyclops demon.
"Your theory worked!?" Baxter questioned, still shocked.
"Well, partially, anyway," Vaggie commented.
"Yeah, why is she still a demon?" Angel asked.
"Maybe, there's something else that's still keeping her here?" Anna said.
"But, what?" Vaggie asked.
"I don't know." Anna answered, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm not exactly an expert." Charlie smiled.
"Well, I'd say it's progress. Nobody have managed to make anyone get this far!" She said, happily, almost crying. "Oh, that reminds me-" the princess reached for something her pocket and pulled out a cellphone.
"Here, I want to give you this," Charlie said holding out a Hellphone For Anna. "That way you can stay in touch, if you ever need anything!"
"Uh, thanks?" Anna replied, taking the phone from her.
"We need to tell everybody about this! I'll call up Katie Killjoy and set up another appointment-" Charlie was about about to dial in her phone when Vaggie stopped her. The moth demon placed her hands on the princess's shoulders.
"Hun, I think you're getting ahead of yourself," Vaggie said. "Remember, what happened last time? We are going to need more proof, if we're going to win anyone over."
Alastor stepped up with a strange smile on his face. "Ladies, I have an idea," Everyone turned to him, listening.
"Let's have a show, advertising the hotel, of course, and Niffty as our poster gal!" He explained. "I'll even broadcast it live!"
Charlie beamed, jumping up and down, excitedly. "That's perfect, Alastor!" She exclaimed.
"And that's not all! We'll have Anna here, sing as well," Alastor said, gesturing to Anna. Anna's eyes widen in shock.
"WHAT?!" She shouted. "I mean, why me? Can't you do it?" She stammered, nervously.
Alastor smiled. "Well, I've figured that since YOU helped out our little Niffty, you can have the favor of presenting!" Alastor "Unless, you'd be more comfortable singing with me, as a duet?"
"Please, do it! It'll really help the hotel's status!" Charlie pleaded. Anna sighed.
"Okay, I'll do it," She answered.
"Great! I'll swing by Mimzy's and let her know!" Alastor said, walking away, leaving.
"I'll make some fliers and posters!" Charlie shouted, with Vaggie following behind, heading to the management room.
"I guess I'll go freshen up, before the show." Anna murmured. She walked away, up the stairs, heading to the bathroom. She walked into the room and pulled her shirt over her head and shimmied out of her jeans and shoes. Anna headed towards the shower, turning it on and stepped inside, closing the curtain. She happily sighed, feeling the warm drops of water fall on her. However, waves of nerves and anxiety soon began to cloud her mind.
She was going to dancing and singing in front of an large audience. What if she messed up? What if she embarrassed herself? What if Alastor does something weird to her?
Anna blushed as she shook her head. What is she thinking about him for? She has a boyfriend for pete's sake! Could she really be lusting over him? Suddenly, Anna felt something as her hair moved on the top of her head. She reached up and felt another ear tuft. She groaned, slumping her shoulders and leaned her head against the wall of the shower. She have get out of this place and soon.
Anna turned the shower off and reached out grabbing an towel, drying herself. As she pulled the curtain back, Anna's eyes widen and she screamed, seeing Angel in front of her. Anna quickly pulled the curtains for cover herself.
"Aah! Angel?!" She exclaimed. "What are you doing?! Get out!"
"I wanted to talk," Angel said.
"Can't it wait, when I'm not in the shower?!" Anna asked, irritated. Angel ignored her and continued.
"So, doll face, are you nervous for tonight's big bit?" the spider demon asked.
"Yes," Anna answered, flatly.
"Hey, come on, cheer up! You've made it this far. What's a little silly bit going to do?" Angel said, smiling. "Do you know what you're wearing for the show?"
"Well, I thought I'd just wear what I'm wearing," Anna replied. Angel frowned.
"That won't do," He said. "Come with me. I'll help find ya something that'll be the bee's knees!"
At Mimzy's, it was completely crowded and packed as demons gathered around, sitting down, waiting for the show to begin. Alastor had placed Mimzy in charge of the stage lights and production. Charlie, Vaggie, Angel and Husk sat down at the table, waiting as well. Vaggie looked over at the princess seeing her nervously playing with her hands and biting her bottom lip.
"Relax, Hun, it's not going to be like like time," the moth demon said, comforting her girlfriend.
"I know, it's just-" The stage lights flipped on and Alastor stepped out from the curtains, wearing his top hat and tux, and on to the stage. A news demon with a camera faced him, filming. Alastor grinned widely, holding his microphone.
"Hello, all you sinners! How you doing tonight?" The radio demon stated. "How about we give a round of applause to Hell's charming princess, and the daughter of the head honcho himself, Charlie Magne!" The whole room went silent as nobody said a word or clapped. Alastor smirked and continued.
"Maybe, this will change your minds," He said. Alastor snapped his fingers and the lights went off then came back on with luminescent neon colors. His whole attire was in different colors as well from the lights. Alastor looked around on the stage, wondering where Anna was. He haven't seen her since the hotel. Then Alastor's shadows began to play instruments and Alastor set his microphone down.
"Listen, ladies and gentlemen, if you would be so kind," Alastor began singing.
"Got someone very special here," He gestured his hand towards the stage curtains. "She's 'bout to speak her mind..."
Anna stepped out as she flipped the curtains behind her. Everyone's eyes widen in shock and their mouths dropped slightly. Alastor turned his head and his widen in surprise, as well. He felt an unknown and strange feeling, seeing her. The human woman was wearing a strapless slit dress that reached down to her thighs, showing off her curves, glowing an dark bluish color in the dark and black heels. Angel smirked as he leaned back in his seat, proud.
"I gotta song to sing!" Anna singed. "If you don't like my song, I'm gonna sing it anyhow!"
"I gotta a dream in my heart, yeah!"
"Nothing's gonna stop us now!" Alastor and Anna both sang together. Mimzy frowned, glaring, crossing her arms, seeing that the two were awfully close together. She flipped the switch. The stage curtains opened up instead. Alastor took Anna's hand and danced in circles as the spotlight followed them. Anna felt her heart beat fast and couldn't breathe as they did. She looked up at Alastor, feeling an certain and strange feeling as she did. Could she really be in lov-? No, couldn't be.
"Take 4 to 20 blackbirds and bake it in a pie," Anna singed. "Before you put it in an oven, babe, you know they're gonna fly!"
"They say curiosity killed the cat? I'm living proof that that's a lie!" Alastor singed, high. The two smiled and faced each other.
"Now, I'm gonna tell you why!" They both singed together. Mimzy growled and flipped another switch and multiple lights came on behind Alastor and Anna. Her eyes widen in shock.
"Yeah! Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us, NOW!"
A light came on and shined on Niffty, revealing her. Everyone's eyes widen in shock. Charlie squealed seeing the look on their faces, biting her lip, excitedly. All over the monitors in Hell, every demon froze looking up in shock. In his office, Lucifer took a sip from his coffee until he glanced over at the TV. His eyes widen and spat out his drink, spraying the screen.
Anna twirled as she danced gracefully on her feet. "And if I wanna dance, I'll dance!"
"She'll dance," Alastor slid on his knees, singing in an girly voice, batting his eyes, looking up at Anna. She rolled her eyes. Mimzy had to put a stop to this. She picked up a crate of bulbs and dropped them from above aiming at Anna. Alastor twirled Anna as the two danced, dodging the falling bulbs as they shattered on the ground.
"Just as long as the law will allow," Anna continued. "Dance and sing all night long. Nothing's gonna stop us, NOW!"
Alastor dipped her and Anna around him. "Yeah, nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us, NOW!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Alastor danced as tapped danced on stage.
Anna smirked as she walked off the stage stepping on the tables as she did. She bent down to a demon couple and placed a finger underneath the male's chin, leaning in closer. Alastor turned and frowned, seeing Anna getting a little to close to the demon. He snapped his fingers and instantly, Anna was right back on the stage, next to him. The demon's girlfriend glared at her boyfriend, seeing him still eyeing Anna, and slapped his cheek.
"Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us, Now!"
"I gotta feeling inside!" Anna smiled, fluttering her eyes. "Ooh, it's love! Without a doubt!"
"Oh, I got someone I'm crazy about!" Alastor pitched in.
"Annnd, nothing's gonna stop us now!" The two singed together. Alastor picked Anna up and tossed her in the air.
"Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us! Nothing's gonna stop us!-"
Multiple fireworks went off on the stage. Alastor caught Anna as the two posed, facing everyone.
"Now!" Anna and Alastor panted.
The whole crowd let out a loud uproar from cheering to clapping as they gave them an standing ovation.
