Detention

"What!?" Charlie shouts into her phone. "Detention!? What for? Celest is a sweet girl. She can't do much wrong…" her brows lift at what she was being told. "Oh. Okay… Yeah. We'll be there," the Hotel Owner sighs as she hangs up.

"Charlie?" Vaggie walks in to see her girlfriend in distress. "Is something wrong?"

The blonde woman looks up at the grey woman. "It seems that Celest has gotten herself in detention."

"What!?" the Fallen Angel's eye widen. "How is that even possible? What could Celest have even done to get detention?"

"Now, Vaggie," the Princess gets up to her girlfriend and takes her hands. "I need you to remain calm when I tell you this. Sinthia was involved."

Vaggie's eye widens again and then her brows furrow as she knows what this means. "Enid."

.oOo.

Celest is now sitting within the school's office with a bruise and a couple scuff marks. The child looks over at the pink demon girl next to her who is in the same state as her. She knows that it was wrong to hit another student, but the Little Hazbin couldn't take it anymore and she snapped.

A Succubus slams her hands on the teacher's desk. "I want that wretched thing expelled! She dared to lay a hand on my precious Sinthia!"

Ms. Mayberry raised her hands in an attempt to calm the mother. "Now, now," even though she loves her students, the teacher always hated dealing with parents like this. "This is Celest's first offence and where I do not promote violence in my school, I do not expel any of my students unless there was a major incident or a pattern of trouble."

"Then what about Enid's little monster?" Vaggie says announcing her and Charlie's presence. The Fallen Angel glares at the succubus.

Charlie places a hand on her girlfriend's arm in an attempt to calm her down. "Vaggie?"

"Oh, please!" Enid scoffs. "My sweet, precious, little Sinthia would never do any harm," and gushes over her daughter.

This is when Mayberry had to awkwardly interject. "Actually. There have been numerous times when Sinthia had been caught bullying other students besides Celest. I have informed you of this. And Sinthia's father."

At this, the former Exorcist huffs. "Like the succubus knows who that actually is."

Charlie snaps. "Vaggie!?"

Enid turns to the grey woman. "And what do you mean by that?"

"You know exactly what I mean, you wh—"

"Enough!" the Princess shouts, cutting them off. "This is not about us. This is about our daughters. As parents we should put them first."

The teacher agreed. "Now, I believe that children will be children, but a line must be drawn. I'm hoping to curb any future incidents by involving the parents. I'm hoping that you will be able to talk this out."

Even though two of the parents are hesitant, all three nod in agreement.

"Great!" Mayberry claps. "I'll take the children outside to let you discuss this," she then leads the two little girls out of the room.

For several minutes, the only thing that went one was Vaggie and Enid glaring at one another while Charlie just glances between them as the Princess of Hell can feel that she's caught between the tension.

"Vaggie," she turns to her girlfriend getting the Fallen Ange's attention. "Why don't you go and check on Celest? I can handle things here."

Vaggie takes another glance at the succubus before sighing. "Alright. Good luck, hun. You'll need it," with that, the grey woman left the room.

Charlie then awkwardly turns to Enid. "So… Nice weather we're having."

.oOo.

Vaggie sits next to Celest outside the office with Ms. Mayberry and Sinthia sitting across the hall from them. The Fallen Angel is mumbling in Spanish so that the teacher and the pink child wouldn't understand. But Celest knew what was being said.

"¿Es malo que la madre de Sintha sea una súcubo, Mama? (Is Sintha's mom being a succubus a bad thing, Mama?)" the Little Hazbin asks.

Vaggie glances at her daughter before looking over at the teacher. "I'm going to have a word with my daughter." without waiting for an answer, the former Exorcist gets up and takes Celest by the hand and goes further down the hall.

With a sigh, the grey woman kneels in front of her child. "There's nothing wrong with who or what someone is, Celest. It's just that woman gets under my skin," she grinds her teeth. "Just because she's married to a wealthy demon after getting knocked up by him that who… witch thinks she's all that! I'm dating the Princess of Hell, but you don't see me flaunting that around!" After the rant, Vaggie takes a deep breath to calm herself down. "Is that why you got into a fight with her daughter, Celest? Because you thought I didn't like her mother?"

Celest looks down. "Sinthia is always being mean by saying stuff I don't like. I usually ignore her but then she started bringing you and mom into it. Saying that no way both of you are my real parents and if I don't admit who is my real mom then that means neither of you are. Making me and abandoned orphan. I didn't like what she was saying about you, and I snapped."

Looking at her daughter, the Fallen Angel gives her a small smile. "It's great that you're willing to stand up for us. But as much as you don't like Sinthia, it's not right to start a fight. Especially in school. You don't have to be friends with her but at the very least you should play nice," she then sighs. "And as much as I don't like her mother, I'll try to do the same. With that being said," a smile reappears on her face. "Did you win?"

Celest blinks a couple times before smiling brightly as well.

.oOo.

Charlie and Enid share a laugh.

"You are quite a delight, Charlie," the succubus comments.

"Thank you," the Princess smiles just being glad that they're getting along. "Look, Enid, let's get serious. I don't want to force our daughters to get along, but something must be done for their sake."

The pink woman looks at the princess for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Fine! For my sweet Sinthia I'll try to do better," with an eye roll Enid takes out her phone to check her social. "By the way. I've been wondering which one of you popped out your daughter?"

"Wha… Oh?" Charlie had to think before understanding the question. "Neither of us, um, popped Celest out. We—"

"Ugh!" Enid turns away. "Adoption? That's even worse than having a donor or aa surrogate."

"Excuse me!?"

"But I supposed it's better than she somehow being related to both you and your angel friend."

"But she is—"

"That would've made her a half-breed and such abominations don't deserve to be among our kind."

If the succubus had looked away from her phone for even a second, she would have notice Charlie's eyes glowing, with her horns and tail sprouting, and hair flowing."

.oOo.

Lucifer was in the middle of something when his phone started ringing.

"Just let it ring," Lilith tells him, and they go to continue what they were doing. However! The ringing persists.

Lucifer answers. "Hello. It's the Big Boss of Hell himself… She did!?... uh-huh… Yeah, I'll be there when I can," he hangs up, gets out of bed, and starts getting dressed.

"Luci?" Lilith sits up, holding onto the covers. "What's the matter?"

"It seems Charlie got in a fight at school again and now I got to go pick her up," the King finishes buttoning up his shirt and sets the hat on his head. "Wonder which of her classmates managed to p(bleep) her off. That's not easy to do with our little girl."

"Lucifer," Lilith raised a brow. "Our little girl hasn't been little for a long time and had already graduated."

The realization dawned on him. "Oh, yeah!" he paused for a moment. "Do you think she won?"

End.
