Hey, guys! Welcome to the next chapter for Hilda and Stitch! I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter. Also, the OCs Roland Trenton and Amun belong entirely to drakin6345, the Ocs Logan, Astrid, and Ivy belong to 9655, and the OC Daemon belongs to Travis Moon/Messiah of authors as I also want to give him credit for the idea of this OC Chapter, and I want to give credit to 9655 for the idea of the title of this OC Chapter. Anyway, before I begin, I will like to have it stated that this OC Chapter will replace the Ghost Episode in Hilda. Why? Well, to be honest, it's easily the worst episode of Hilda. Literally, this is the only episode that I really, really, really despise for three reasons:
1) One, the Ghosts were lame and lackluster: While the Show Hilda is usually great at introducing amazing Magical Creatures like the Elves, Trolls, Giants, etc., their portrayal of the Ghosts was just...dull in comparison. I mean, seriously, Hilda and the Gang were meeting real-life Ghosts. You expected the Adventure to be more amazing than the huge disappointment that we got.
2) To Fit the Narrative Better: I decided to not do this episode because I'm planning to do something with the Season 1 Finale of Hilda and Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch Movie, and this episode will be a problem for my idea. So, I'm not only deciding to skip the Ghost Episode for Personal Reasons but for Narrative Reasons as well.
~{Warning: Big Rant Incoming!}~
3) All of the Main Characters, minus Hilda, were too OOC: This problem is what honestly bothered me the most out of this episode. Both Frida and David were acting way differently than how they are normally portrayed. Let's start with Frida, who is arguably not even the same character that she was in the past episodes. I mean, come on, she's supposed to be the mature and smart friend of the group, and yet she didn't know that Rooms didn't clean by themselves? Oh, that's just bullshit! Even if her room does in fact keeps cleaning itself ever since she was born, the fact that Frida never questioned it is bizarre. You think this is something that she will talk about with her Friends and Family, so it's impossible that this subject had never come up ONCE throughout her whole life, and the fact that Frida believed that it was real, I was just like...what?! I can see her not caring about the fact since her room was cleaning itself, and it means less time for her to waste cleaning it, but how can Frida, of all people, honestly believe that's how all rooms work?! As David said, isn't she supposed to be the smart one!?
Another thing that bothered me about Frida is her argument with Hilda. I can understand being angry that her book was gone, but she was way out of line with blaming Hilda for the whole mess. Uh, helloooooooooo?! She tried her best to help you! It's not Hilda's fault that the stupid Ghosts didn't have her book and, while what Frida said about Hilda being a difficult friend does have some merit, I don't understand why she started complaining about Hilda taking them on adventures when in the Marra episode, Frida stated very clearly that she was okay with going on Hilda's adventures! Seriously, if this argument happened during the past episodes, then it makes sense, but here? Her argument has no ground because it's been stated that Frida willingly decided to go on adventures, and in this adventure, Hilda's help didn't screw anything up like usual. She just didn't know that the Ghosts didn't have the freaking book.
Now, let's talk about David...why was he acting like such a little smartass? For real, I can see him teasing Frida about her stupidity, but he was acting really mean to his long-time friend throughout the whole episode, and at the end, when Hilda and Frida were arguing, David actually took Hilda's Side. I was happy that he defended Hilda, but in reality, I can see David defending Frida more since, to be quite frank, David is closer to Frida than Hilda is, so him lashing out at her and them fighting just seems...wrong. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand what the writers were trying to do and to have Hilda and Frida suffer through a friend's break up, and...honestly, I love that idea because, in real life, Friends argue and tend to separate from each other for a while, and for Hilda and Frida's sake? That argument was bound to happen due to their conflicting personalities, but here? Their separation doesn't work because everyone, except for Hilda, was acting too out of character for it to properly work.
Now, I know what you're saying, 'Oh, kids fight over dumb stuff for no reason all of the time?'. Well, that argument doesn't work here because it has been stated and shown that Frida is both smart and mature, and David is way too nice to insult anyone like that. Hell, he didn't insult Hilda in the Tide Mice episode, even though she was literally stealing his soul! So when they broke up as friends, it felt more like the story was forcing them to separate than the characters themselves deciding to separate!
~{Warning: Big Rant Over!}~
Hah...hah...hah...hah...hah, sorry, about that, guys. I had to get that off my chest, but anyway, you guys can now see why I've decided to skip the Ghost Episode and why I hate that episode so much. If you want Hilda and her friends to suffer through a Friendship Break up, fine, that's good, I encourage that to happen, but you have to do it in a way that makes sense to both the Characters and the Story...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OC'S.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
~{Hilda and Stitch: Season 1-Episode 8: The Demonic Encounter}~
"Mmm mmm mmm mm mmm mm mmm mm mmm mm mmm." Hilda hummed to herself joyfully as we cue to quaint morning in Trollberg and see the Blue-Haired Girl dressing herself up for the day as Stitch and Twig were waiting for her to finish on her Bed while politely covering their eyes with their ears and paws as Hilda puts on her black beret and turned to the boys. "Alright, guys, I'm decent," Hilda says as Stitch and Twig uncovered their eyes and nod to her as they jumped out of Hilda's bed with the Deer Fox landing in his Owner's arms.
"Lo, yugga nele ot og? (So, you ready to go?)," Stitch asked Hilda as she nodded with a bright smile on her face.
"Yeah, let's go," Hilda says as the trio made their way out of Hilda/Stitch's Room and arrived at the Living Room as they spotted Joanna, Jumba, and Pleakley playing a Board Game with a visiting Roland and Logan as Amun was sleeping near them.
"Oh, hey, Hilda, what are you all dressed up this morning?" A curious Joanna asked as Hilda smiled at her Mother.
"Oh, well, recently, I started feeling a little Homesick, so Stitch come up with an idea for us to go to the Woods and hang around for a while. Can we go, Mum?" Hilda asked hopefully as Joanna hums thoughtfully.
"Hmmm, well, since Stitch is coming along with you and today is Saturday, I guess you guys can go," Joanna says with a little smile as Hilda and Stitch beamed and turned to each other as they smiled gleefully.
"Awesomesauce, thanks, Mum/Ootaka, Joanna (Thank You, Joanna)," Hilda and Stitch say gratefully as a curious Logan turned to the Adventurous Duo.
"Hey, Guys, how are you guys going to get to the Woods anyway?" Logan asked as Roland nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, since none of us can take you there since we're busy today." Roland says while giving the Kids an apologetic look as the others did the same.
"And, no, Stitch can't drive you there," Pleakley says with a glare as an equally glaring Joanna nodded in agreement, remembering the time that Stitch hot-wired Joanna's Car to take it on a joyride one day when he got bored and accidentally crashed it against a tree...yeah, Stitch got into HUGE trouble that day.
"Oh, don't worry, I got that covered." Hilda says while waving her hand around in reassurance as she then turned over to the Alien Super Genius. "Jumba, you mind giving me your Ship's Remote?"
"Ah, you're planning on using Jumba's remote to teleport you, 626, and Deer Fox Pet to the Trollberg Woods, huh? Smart idea, Blue Haired Girl." Jumba says while pulling out his remote as he tossed it over to Hilda, who caught it as she winked at him with a giggle.
"Thanks, Jumba."
"Good luck, guys," Roland says as he and the others waved at the Trio goodbye.
"Make sure to come back before Dinner and don't lose the Remote," Joanna warns as Hilda nodded before pressing the button on the remote as she then put it away in her pockets and reaches out to grab Stitch's hand while making sure to have a good grip on Twig as a blue glow covered their bodies and the trio was teleported away from sight.
"Alrighty, then, let's continue-," Joanna says before being interrupted by the doorbell ringing as everyone stood up.
"Huh, who will come here so early in the morning?" Logan asked curiously as Joanna shrugged.
"Don't know, but Roland and I will go and answer it. Jumba, Pleakley, hide." Joanna says as Jumba and Pleakley nod before going into their rooms to hide as Logan stayed behind in the Living Room and watched on as Joanna and Roland walked over to the Door of the Apartment as they opened it and were surprised to see Hilda and Stitch's Sparrow Scout Raven Leader Debby standing in front of them while wearing a short purple/white jacket with a black shirt underneath that has a boob window, blue jeans, and black/white shoes.
"Debby? What are you doing here? Today isn't Hilda's Sparrow Scout Meeting." A confused Joanna says as Debby smiles and shakes her head.
"Oh, I'm not here to see Hilda. I'm here to visit Roland." Debby says while pointing at Roland, who was sweating a bit nervously as Joanna glanced between them with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh, why?"
"Errr...well, Joanna? There's something that I have to tell you," Roland says while grabbing Joanna's arm as he leads her away from Debby.
"What? What's wrong?" A concerned, confused Joanna asked as Roland bit his lip and rubbed his neck a bit as he laughed anxiously.
"Uh...well...this might be a bit awkward and you might laugh about this, but...Debby is my Ex-Girlfriend."

"...WHAT?!"
"Ah, this is the life, Stitch." A tranquil Hilda says while lying down in a meadow in the Trollberg Woods as, after she and Stitch were teleported to the woods and arrived in the Valley where Jumba's Cloaked Ship was parked, the Duo had greeted the Elves for a bit before they started running through the Forest while sharing a joyful laugh as, after a few minutes of running and playing, Hilda and Stitch decided to lay down on a meadow a bit to relax.
"Ih. Woods much quieter than City." Stitch says while lying beside Hilda as Twig rested in between them.
"Indeed. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't hate Trollberg anymore, but it's just nice to return back to my roots and get away from all of the City Trouble." Hilda says while placing her arms behind her head as she closed her eyes and sighs contentedly, taking in Mother Nature's beauty, but then her relaxation was interrupted by the sounds of flapping, and something landed on her knees as Hilda opened her eyes and was surprised to a very interesting Bird lying on her knees.
"Oh, hello there, little Bird. My name is Hilda, and these are my Friends, Stitch and Twig. What's your name?" Hilda asks with a friendly smile as this is something truly unique to the Young Adventurer due to Hilda never seeing a Bird like the one standing in front of her before with its pupilless yellow eyes, large red beak, two large feathers planted on top of its head, two large wings, beautiful purple/black feathers, and two red-clawed legs.
"Caw!" The Bird exclaimed while flapping his wings as it flew up into the air and landed on Hilda's extended arm as he continued staring at her curiously.
"What kind Bird is that?" Stitch asked while tilting his head confusedly as Hilda shrugged.
"Don't know." Hilda says while tilting her head at the Bird, who tilted his head as well as he studied the Human Girl's Body and saw an outline of her Aura with showed something that made the Bird's eyes widen in surprise before subduing as he cawed lightly. "I don't think I've ever seen a Bird like this one before, and that's surprising since I lived here my whole life." Hilda says as Stitch curiously walks over to sniff the Bird...and draws back as he growled.
"Bird smells funny. Stitch no think this a Bird."
"Ke, ke, ke, ke, that's because he's from a different realm than the one you're used to." A Young Boy's Voice Rang Out as the Trio turned their heads and were surprised to see a Boy around Hilda's Age standing a few feet away from them with a charming smile on his face. The Mysterious Boy is a 4'2-feet-tall, 11-year-old Demon Boy with red eyes, long shaggy shoulder-length white hair, pointy ears, a small nose, a sharp chin, Light Purple Skin, a slim build, and his outfit consists of a high-collard zipped up short-sleeved black jacket with a deep red long-sleeved shirt underneath, long baggy black pants, and yellow boots. His name is Daemon.
"Oh, hello, there," Hilda says, surprised by the Boy's sudden presence as Stitch and Twig stood close to her protectively. "Not to be rude, but you aren't Human, are you?" Hilda asked tentatively as she didn't want to offend the Light Purple Skin Boy.
"Ke, ke, ke, ke, ke, nope, clearly not, but that's okay. You couldn't have known, cutie." Daemon says while giving her a cheeky wink as Hilda blushes lightly.
"I-I, well, I, uh-Oh, where are my manners? Hi, my name is Hilda, and these are my friends, Stitch and Twig." Hilda says while gesturing at Stitch and Twig, who had grown less hesitant by Daemon's presence but still stood by Hilda's side in case anything happens. "What's your name?"
"Oh, how rude of me. It's impolite of me to not introduce myself to a fair lady such as yourself. Forgive my rudeness, Madame. My name is Daemon." Daemon says while bowing gracefully as Hilda blushed harder at what he said and placed her hand over her mouth as she giggled.
"He, he, well, it's nice to meet you, Daemon," Hilda says while doing a small curtesy with her skirt as Twig reluctantly bowed, and Stitch did the same but ended up falling on his head as 626 started twirling around with an amused laugh.
"Your friend is quite interesting, isn't he?" Daemon asked with a little smirk on his face as Hilda nodded with a chuckle.
"Yeah, he is, but your Bird is quite interesting as well. Is he your Pet?" Hilda asks curiously while pointing at the bird as Daemon laughed.
"Ke, ke, ke, in a way, yeah, but Nero here? He's more my companion who chooses to accompany me."
"Oh, neat. Like Stitch and Twig are to me." Hilda says while rubbing Stitch and Twig's heads as they shared a smile.
"What you doing out here in woods?" Stitch asked, speaking up for the first time in a while as he and the others were curious about the Strange-Looking Yet Mysterious Boy.
"Well, Madame's Companion, if you must know, I was actually just here to soak in the beauty that is Mother Nature. You see, back home can be a little bit stressful, so I decided to come here to the Earth Realm. It's where I like to spend my days, and where Nero likes to look at the stars at night."
"Oh, I know how you feel," Hilda says, causing Daemon to turn to her curiously as she decided to explain. "You see, I used to live all my life in the Woods with my Mum, but we decided to move into the big city a couple of months back, and, while I do love the city and all of the new friends that I made, I don't know. I just miss exploring the forest or lying on the grass and watching the stars. Interacting with Mother Nature and its inhabitants, normal or magical wise." Hilda says with a forlorn look on her face as Stitch patted her back to comfort her.
"My, oh my, absolutely stressful! How may I serve you, Madame? What do you need of this Young Traveler to need of? And I do mean anything, My Lady." Daemon says while walking over to kneel down in front of Hilda as he reaches out to grab her hand and stares into her eyes with his eyes twinkling like a star as Hilda blushes heavily from his words and touch with steam pouring out of her ears as she tugs on her shirt.
"I-I, well, I might feel a bit cheered up if you can come and explore with me and the others into the woods? I mean, if you want to, o-of course." Hilda says shyly with a nervous laugh as the Blue-Haired Girl didn't know why she was stammering her words or why her heart was beating like crazy as Stitch sees this and shared a knowing look with Twig as they shared a chuckle.
"Of course, anything for a young Fairmaiden such as yourself."
"He, he, well, let's go...race you!" Hilda exclaimed with a giggle while letting go of Daemon's hand as she runs off into the woods with Stitch and Twig following after her as Daemon watched her go in surprise before smirking as he laughs and shared a look with his now-named Bird Nero.
"This is so awkward..." Roland thought to himself as we cue back to Hilda/Stitch's Apartment and see the whole gang sharing tea with each other in the Living Room as Roland was sitting between Joanna and Debby on the couch with his Current Girlfriend narrowing her eyes at Roland's Ex-Girlfriend while sipping her tea as Logan, Jumba, and Pleakley could be seen spying on the Trio from the Kitchen.
"Man, this is like a Classic Sitcom Scenario. The Ex-Girlfriend visits her Ex-Boyfriend with his Current Girlfriend around. Things are about to get juicy." Pleakley says while eating from a bowl of popcorn as he wore his Earth Disguise, which consisted of him wearing a long curly blonde hair that was tied up into a high ponytail, a long salmon pink shirt with a pink heart symbol in the center, short blue jeans, and cyan blue sandals.
"So, tell me, Shape-Shifting Man, how screwed is Blonde-Haired Man?" Jumba asked while wearing his Earth Disguise, which consists of him wearing a short black wig with two pairs of black sunglasses to cover his four eyes, a fake small black mustache, a sleeveless white shirt, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long blue ripped jeans, and no shoes.
"From 1 to 10? 11," Logan stated deadpannedly with Amun lying on his lap as he rubbed his head.
"S-So, how did you find me here, Debby?" Roland asked awkwardly as Debby broke off her stare down with Joanna to turn to her Ex.
"Oh, well, today I decided to visit you since it's been a while since we last met up, but when I went to knock on your Door, no one answered, so I decided to answer Joanna's Apartment Door since I know you two are together," Debby says with a smile as Joanna narrowed her eyes while Roland stiffens as Debby giggles at their reactions. "Oh, don't worry, dear, I'm just here to talk with Roland. It's been a while since I've talked with my Childhood Friend."
"Oh, you guys knew each other since Childhood?" A curious Joanna asked as Debby nodded.
"Oh, yeah, we knew each other for a long time. We used to be a part of a group of kids back in the day, but as we grow up, we all separated due to...reasons. But Roland and I had grown extremely close together and had fallen in love."
"If you guys were in love, why did you two break up?"
"I-It's complicated," Roland says as Joanna raised an eyebrow but nodded as he turned to Debby. "Anyway, Debs, it is genuinely nice to meet you again after a long time. I see that you had become Sparrow Scout Leader, huh?"
"Oh, yeah, I did. It's not an easy feat because, I will tell ya, I had competition, but I prevailed as always." Debby says while leaning over to give Roland a side hug as she grinned slyly. "Always," Debby said as Joanna narrowed her eyes and scooted over to give her Boyfriend a side hug as both Women glared at each other lightly with Roland sweating nervously as Logan, Jumba, and Pleakley winced in the background.
"Well, looks like we might have lost him," Hilda says while appearing on the other side of the Trollberg Forest after she and the others finished their run as they arrived at a large Cave that Hilda likes to hide out in when she used to live in the Woods. "Do you think that was too mean?" Hilda asked her Companions worriedly as they shook their heads.
"Naga. Stitch sure Daemon will show up. Wega didn't run too far." Stitch says as Twig nodded in agreement before their Superhuman Noses pick up a familiar scent as they looked around to find the source of the scent.
"Hey, what's wrong, Guys?"
"Oh, you arrived just in time, Madame. I already finished preparing the tea and other desserts." A Familiar Voice Rang Out as a surprised/knowing Hilda, Stitch, and Twig turned their heads as they spotted a grinning Daemon standing near the Cave with a table filled with tea and delicious-looking desserts placed near the Demon Boy as Nero was sitting on one of the chairs.
"What the?!" A shocked Hilda exclaimed while blinking repeatedly in disbelief before beaming as she and the Boys walks over to Daemon. "Wow, you're fast. I've never met someone that can beat me in a race before. Well, other than Stitch, that is, but still, very impressive." Hilda complimented with a bright smile as Daemon winked at her with a smile as well.
"Well, of course. It is rude for a gentleman to keep a lady waiting." Daemon says before sitting down on the table as Hilda did the same.
"He, he, you're quite polite, aren't you? I've never met a boy so polite before...well, except for my friend David, but that's about it." Hilda says with a shrug as Stitch and Twig figure out that the Mysterious Kid doesn't seem to be a threat as they sensed the mood in the room, and they decided to go deeper into the large Cave to explore elsewhere while the Kids hang out with each other alone.
"So, Daemon, tell me, when did you first meet Nero?" Hilda asked curiously as, after the Duo had eaten the dessert and drank tea, the Young Adventurer could not deny how delicious they were, even better than her own Mother's Cooking, but she won't voice that out loud, obviously. "I am rather intrigued to know how you managed to tame a pretty unique bird like him," Hilda says while scratching Nero's head as, usually, she would ask what race Daemon is but, despite her not always listening, Hilda always did listen to her Mother about not being rude to people you just meet, especially involving race, so Hilda decided to ask a question about the current unique Bird of the Light Purple Skinned Handsome Boy.
"Heh, well you see, Madame, Nero is no ordinary bird. For you see he's actually a very legendary bird."
"Ooh, really? Do tell." Hilda says with an intrigued look on her face while placing her elbows on the table with her head lying on them.
"Well, you see, Madame, in this world and in the universe there is a balance, there's light and there is darkness. It was stated when creation was made, that the Great Lords of light and darkness created two individual creatures that would represent their elements. The Bird of Light resigned within the higher planes of reality, and the Bird of Darkness resigns within the darker aspects of reality, and Nero just so happens to be the Bird of Darkness.
"Oh, wow, interesting," Hilda says while eyeing the Bird in awe.
"Indeed, but usually, Nero here likes to lay around and look at the night stars and eat a great portion of my food in my home."
"Aww, that sounds cute," Hilda says while finding amusement that Nero eats a great portion of Daemon's food at his home like how Stitch does at her own home.
"Indeed, but please, make no mistake, Madame. The Birds of Balance are not to be reckoned with. For you see, they represent the Elements that you know now. If anything were to happen to one of these symbols of power, all of creation would be in danger because, without balance, there can be no existence."
"Oh, wow, dark," Hilda says with her eyes widening in surprise.
"But informative! Ke, ke, ke, ke!"
"He, he, yeah, I guess. So, I'm curious, how did you come into possession of little Nero here?" Hilda asks while scratching Neo's beak.
"Oh, I was just eating my favorite treats, and then he just appeared out of nowhere and was hungry, so I gave him some food, and ever since then, we became inseparable." Daemon explained as Hilda smiles warmly and nodded.
"Oh, that sounds nice. So, tell me, Daemon, got any family or friends to talk about?" Hilda asked thoughtfully as Daemon nodded with a smile.
"Yes, I have a Mother and a Father as well as many Servants back home."
"Oh, servants?" Hilda asks while tilting her head curiously as Daemon flinched and looks around nervously as he was about to come up with a lie, but then sighed heavily as the Demon Boy ultimately can't find the urge to lie to Hilda.
"Well, you see, Madame, I'm of Royal Blood. Of my people, and one day, it will be my turn to succeed my Father's Throne." Daemon explains as Hilda stared at him in shock and awe.
"Oh, wow, that sounds amazing, Daemon! I've never met someone of Royalty before...well, except for an Elf King, but he was troubling to deal with. Anyway, it must be great to be a prince." Hilda says with a cheerful smile as Daemon smiled at it with a blush.
"Ke, ke, ke, well, it does have its moments. It can be tiring sometimes, but luckily though, my Parents allow me to have my free time and enjoy my youth."
"Ah, that's sweet. At least your Parents allow you to have a childhood, but still, you must have a lot of bravery by being a Prince. I can never imagine myself being the Princess of anything. Being in charge of a large group of people honestly terrifies me to no end, which is why I usually work with my Closest Friends who can take care of themselves whenever we go out on adventures."
"Now that's just not true. If anything, I find that you are worthy of being a Princess. It may be perhaps one day that could happen?" Daemon asked slyly while reaching over to take Hilda's hand and staring deep into her eyes again as the Blue-Haired Girl blushed head to toe and looks away anxiously as she scratched the back of her head.
"O-Oh, I, uh, I'm more of an Adventurer at heart than a Princess, really, but thanks for the offer, though, ha, ha," Hilda says shyly with a nervous laugh. "This boy is so freaking cute!" Hilda squealed inside of her mind as Daemon smiled at her and winked as they then continued eating their meal.
"Okay, so far, so good," Roland says while nervously serving himself a glass of water in the Kitchen as Jumba and Logan appeared beside him.
"So, how are you holding up, Roland?" Logan asked as said person turns to him dryly.
"What do you think?"
"Jumba thinks you are sweating bullets because Blonde-Haired Man's Ex-Girlfriend is meeting his Current Girlfriend," Jumba says, not understanding that Roland was being sarcastic as both Men gave the Genius Alien blank looks.
"Yeah, I am," Roland says solemnly as Logan placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"Well, don't worry, Roland, everything seems to be going really well, and no one is attacking each other, so there's no need to worry."
"There's absolutely a reason to be worried, Joanna." A weirdly serious-looking Pleakley says to Joanna as we see the Duo talking to each other in the Hallway of the Apartment while Debby was sitting patiently in the Living Room, innocently drinking tea.
"Wait, really?" A concerned Joanna says as Pleakley nodded frantically.
"Yeah, I've seen this multiple times in my Earth Studies."
"You mean watching TV?" Joanna asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Semantics," Pleakley says while waving his hand around carelessly. "Anyway, it's the Classic Trope where the Ex-Girlfriend Visits her Ex-Lover and will plan to steal him away from his Current Girlfriend."
"Oh, Pleakley, that's just absurd...wait..." Joanna trails off while looking away quietly as she thought carefully about what her Alien Friend said before shaking her head. "...no, no, no, this situation is nothing like that. Besides, Debby is Hilda's Sparrow Scout Leader and Roland's Past Lover, so it's best not to antagonize her. I'm just going to go in there and treat her like any other Guest in my Home." Joanna says with a smile and closed her eyes as she walked back into the Living Room and opened her eyes as Joanna was surprised to see Roland sitting on the couch with Debby standing in front of him while leaning over to get something from the book of shelves planted above the couch as the Sparrow Scout Leader had her chest in front of a shocked, blushing Roland.
"Ah, there, found the book that you were talking about," Debby says with a smile while pulling out a book as she separated from an awkward Roland and the duo spotted Joanna standing near them with her left eye twitching madly. "Oh, hey, Joanna, want to continue talking?" Debby asked with a seemingly innocent smile as Joanna composed herself and puts on a fake smile as she nodded.
"Sure, just let me go and find my comfy chair," Joanna says while walking over to sit on Roland's lap, much to his surprise, as he reflexively placed his arms around her waist. "Ah, that's better," Joanna says contentedly while squirming her butt around his lap as she gave Debby a sly grin and the Sparrow Scout Leader's eye twitched briefly before composing herself as both Women shared a cheerful yet mocking laugh.
"Yep, knew it, classic Sitcoms Trope," Pleakley whispered to Jumba and Logan, who had walked over to stand beside him with Amun lying on top of the Evil Genius's head.
"You know, I still can't believe that I wasted one of my Days Off for this...and it's completely worth it," Logan says with a smirk while sharing a bro fist with Jumba and Pleakely as they continued enjoying watching the trainwreck before them.
"...and then there was that time when David had accidentally found a Baby Troll and brought it to our school. Of course, shenanigans happened." Hilda says with a giggle as we cue to a few hours later and see the Kids still sitting on the table near the cave as they had spent half a day talking to each other about various random subjects, and it ended with Hilda telling her Misadventures to an intrigued Daemon as the Blue-Haired Girl was about to continue talking, but stopped as she noticed from a corner of her eye that it was already dark out. "Oh my gosh, it's getting pretty late. I'm sorry, but I have to go. Stitch! Twig! We have to go!" Hilda yelled while standing up from her seat as, after a few minutes of waiting, Stitch and Twig appeared covered with crystal as they were talking to each other in a friendly manner. "It was nice meeting you, Daemon, but I promised my Mum that I would be back home before curfew."
"But of course, and it was nice getting to know a beauty like you," Daemon says while winking at Hilda as she giggled a bit and was about to say something but then-
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
"Cholota kiki lota?! (What was that?!)," A surprised/startled Stitch asked while standing beside Hilda protectively as the little girl looked around warily.
"I don't know, but it sounded loud and horrifying," Hilda says before gasping in shock as a growling Troll jumped out of the bush and landed in the valley that the Group was placed on as, much to Hilda's surprise, she was able to easily recognize the Troll due to it possessing two heads with white pupilless eyes, long noses, and grey stone-like skin. "You!" Hilda exclaims in horror and shock while being frozen in place as she received a vague flashback of her Youth where she saw her Father talking with the Two-Headed Troll warily and calmly, but nothing else as her flashback was gone. "W-What was that? Why do I feel like I remember him? And why...am I so scared?" Hilda says to herself quietly and confusedly while looking down at her shaky knees as sweat pours down from her forehead and looks up as Hilda gasps sharply when she saw that the Two-Headed Troll was running towards them and, the minute it was near them, it raises its fist to smash them into a bloody paste.
"Abomination!" The Troll roared out while glaring down at Hilda and the boys as the Blue-Haired Girl was shocked by this new development due to never seeing a Troll actually talk but didn't have time to think about it as the Two-Headed Troll swung its fists down at them.
"Stay away from us!" Hilda screamed fearfully while closing her eyes as she raised her arms, and some kind of blue mystical energy swarmed around them as her arms turned gray, and the Young Adventurer proceeds to not only catch the punch with both of hers, but the aftermath of the Troll's punch colliding against the palm of Hilda's hands caused a small shockwave to occur as the screaming Two-Headed Troll was sent flying backwards and crashed down into the ground with a pained moan. "Huh?" A confused Hilda asked after opening her eyes just as the blue mystical energy disappeared and her arms turn back to their regular color as she was surprised to see the Two-Headed Troll lying several hundred feet away from her. "Whoa, nice one, Stitch." Hilda complimented, thinking that he was the one who did that as a confused Stitch glanced down at his arms.
"Stitch no do that," Stitch says with a raised eyebrow, not being able to see that it was Hilda who was the one that send the Two-Headed Troll flying, but Daemon did as he turned to give Hilda an intrigued look, only to then grow serious as the Demon Boy spotted the panting Two-Headed Troll getting up from the floor, ready to go for round two as the White-Haired Boy started walking forward.
"Daemon, look out!" Hilda and Stitch yelled with Twig barking worriedly as the trio move in to try and stop their New Friend from getting hurt but stopped as they noticed that his eyes were glowing purple.
"D-Daemon?" Hilda says in shock as she and Stitch stopped at the sight of Daemon's glowing eyes with both of them were surprised by it as Daemon ignored his Friends and glared up intently at the Two-Headed Troll.
"Don't you know it's rude to scare a lady?" Daemon asked rhetorically with a glare as the Two-Headed Troll flinched in surprise at the Demon Boy's sudden appearance but then shook his head to compose himself and prepare to launch a punch at the Purple-Skinned Boy...but the most surprising thing happened as a nonchalant Daemon was able to completely stop his punch with one hand.
"Whoa! Daemon was able to catch a Troll's punch like it was nothing!" Hilda exclaimed with shocked eyes as Stitch blinked before grinning as he liked what he was saying, especially when the Two-Headed Troll tried to put more pressure on his punch, but the Demon Boy would not budge.
"It seems that you Stone Rats need to be taught where you belong," Daemon says with a harsh glare on his face as he pushed the massive hand aside and, with blinding speed, the Light Purple-Skinned Boy was in front of the Troll as he pulled back his arm as he formed a fist, and proceeds to slam it right into the Two-Headed Troll's gut, causing him to be sent flying right back and crashed against a large boulder as, once the dust cleared up, there was a fist size mark on the Troll's Stomach with massive cracks forming around it.
"Whoo-hoo yeah! Awesome! Kick that Troll's Butt, Daemon!/Ih! Go, Daemon!" Hilda and Stitch cheered as a groaning Two-Headed Troll got up from the ground and saw that his rocky body had sustained some damage as the Troll growled at this angrily and was about to continue fighting, but it was then paralyzed with fear when he looked at the Mysterious Boy.
"Now leave, Stone Rat, and go back into the caves where you belong, and make sure your King remembers where he stands in this realm, and if not? Well...your lives are over." Daemon says with his eyes glowing brightly as shadows covered his face and the Two-Headed Troll's eyes widened in fear and sweat nervously as he turned over to glare at Hilda briefly before growling in annoyance as he turns around to run off. "Well, that's that. Are you all right, Madame?" Daemon asked while turning to Hilda as she perked up and nodded.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine, but Daemon, that was amazing! You were able to defeat a Troll so easily! That was so cool!" Hilda exclaims with stars in her eyes as Stitch nods in agreement.
"Ih, Daemon strong, really strong," Stitch says as Daemon smiles a bit and nodded.
"Thank you, Madame and Stitch, but I think it's time for you two and your little Deerfox Friend to head back home."
"O-Oh, yeah, right," Hilda says with a sheepish laugh as she forgot that she was supposed to be going home by now due to all of the commotion. "Come on, Stitch, Twig, let's head over to Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship to teleport us home."
"Okey taka," Stitch says with a nod as Twig barks in agreement.
"Actually, Madame, allow me to escort you and your Friends back to your home." Daemon suggested, much to the trio's surprise, as they shared a look.
"Oh, uh, sure, we don't mind," Hilda says while clasping her hands together with a smile.
"Splendid!" Daemon exclaimed with a smirk as, out of nowhere, he went over to pick up Hilda, bridal style.
"Whoa! Okay, we're doing this now, I guess!" Hilda says with a nervous laugh while wrapping her arms around Daemon's neck to steady herself as the Blue-Haired Girl was blushing head to toe due to being so close to the Handsome Demon Boy.
"Nero!" Daemon calls out to the Bird of Darkness, who squawks and creates one dark energy orb around the Blue Alien Experiment and Deerfox.
"Whoa!" Stitch exclaimed in shock and awe as he and an equally surprised Twig studied the dark energy orb around them as the Mysterious Boy looked up to the night sky before looking back down at the Blue-Haired Pretty Girl that he was holding.
"Madame, I advise you to hold on tightly now because things are about to get exciting."
"Oh, uh, sure," Hilda says with a blush while tightening her grip on Daemon as, while she was holding onto him tightly, the Young Adventurer heard a noise that sounds like wings flapping, and when she looked behind, Hilda saw two big beautiful purple wings coming from the back of Daemon. "Wow! You have wings?!" Hilda asked with an amazed look on her face as Daemon nodded with a laugh.
"Indeed, ke, ke, ke, ke, well, let's go!" Daemon shouted while flapping his wings as he and Hilda then took off into the night sky.
"Whoo-hoo! Yeah!" Hilda cheered as the Duo soared across the sky with the Blue-Haired Girl glancing down at the passing trees in wonder and awe as Stitch and Twig were even enjoying the ride in the orb as well as it was floating near the Duo with Nero flying above them. "The view from up here is great, Daemon!"
"I'm glad you like it, Madame!" Daemon says while winking at Hilda, who blushed shyly as the Duo continued flying through the beautiful night sky as they headed straight toward the City of Trollberg.
"Oh, Roland, it's been so good getting to know you," Debby says with a smile while hugging Roland tightly as we cue back to Hilda and Stitch's Apartment and we see that it was getting dark, so Debby decided that it was time to leave and Roland and Joanna escorted her to the door as Jumba, Pleakley, and Logan could be seen badly spying on them from the background.
"Yeah, same," Roland says while hugging her back as he felt her large breasts pressed against his chest, and a frowning Joanna sees this as she moved over to separate the Duo.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been nice reuniting, but it's time for you to go," Joanna says while pushing Debby out of the Apartment as she closed the door behind her.
"Yeah, maybe, but Joanna? I want to say that I'm happy that Roland was able to find a Good Woman who will treat him right," Debby says, surprising Joanna with what she said as she stopped pushing Debby.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah...but I will say that I won't stop trying to get him."
"Oh, really?" A competitive Joanna says while narrowing her eyes at Debby, who nodded as she crossed her arms.
"Yeah, it will be hard, admittedly, since he clearly loves you, but he and I were each other's firsts, and I'm sure he still has some feelings for me. I'm sure that I will be winning him back soon."
"Hmph, well, make the best women win then," Joanna says while crossing her arms as Debby nods.
"Yeah, let's...we will still be friends, though, right?"
"Oh, yes, since you are Hilda's Sparrow Scout Leader," Joanna says with both Women sharing a smile as they shook hands, quietly declaring their Friendly Love Rivalry for Roland as the Women then let go of each other's hands, and Debby turned around to leave as, the minute she was gone, Roland opened the door as he turned to Joanna.
"Hey, is Debby gone?" Roland asked as Joanna nodded quietly, and the Blonde-Haired Man sees this as he walked over to hug her from behind. "Hey, I just want you to know that while Debby and I were a thing in the past, we are a thing of the present, and I love you like crazy right now," Roland says, surprising Joanna since this is the first time that he said that he loved her.
"Awww, Roland, I love you too," Joanna says with a hearthwhelmed smile as she and Roland then shared a hug and stared at each other passionately as they shared a loving kiss.
"Awww, don't you just love a happy ending?" A smiling Pleakley asked Jumba and Logan, who nodded in agreement as they were watching the whole thing from the door, but then flinched in surprise as they noticed that Roland sticks his hands under Joanna's pants and groped her butt, causing her to moan a bit and giggled as she then reached over to place her arms on his waist with Logan and the Aliens sharing an awkward look by this as they were about to leave to give the Adults some privacy, but then-
"Thanks for taking us home, Daemon," Hilda says with a grateful smile on her face as the Adults turn their heads and spot Hilda and the others turning a corner with some Mysteriously Different Colored Boy following after them as Joanna and Roland shared a look before running over to hide inside the Apartment with the others as the Group spied on Hilda and her friends eagerly.
"It is nothing, Madame. A gentleman must always tend to a lady's needs." Daemon says while putting his arm behind his back and putting his other arm on his chest to give a bow to Hilda.
"He, he, well, this lady appreciates it," Hilda says while placing her hands behind her back as she then looked away awkwardly. "S-So, I don't know if you are busy or not, but my Friends and I were planning to do something a couple of days from now. W-Want to tag along? I can introduce you to them. Trust me, you will love them." Hilda rambled a bit nervously before noticing that the Charming Boy was staring at her intently as Hilda shyly pulled back a lock of her blue hair at this with a small blush on her face. "W-What? D-Do I have something on my face."
"It would be my greatest honor to accompany you and your friends, Madame," Daemon says while suddenly going down on one knee as he reached over to take a surprised Hilda's hand and bowed his head. "I enjoy the time we spent together and hope we can do it again," Daemon says while bringing Hilda's hand close to his lips to give it a gentleman's kiss as Hilda, for the first time in her life, couldn't help but swoon at the Boy's romantic gentlemen's antics and placed her freed hand on one of her blushing cheeks as Hilda giggled.
"T-That's great! Let's meet here in the morning three days from now, and I will introduce you to my friends and family real quick before we go out adventuring!" Hilda says as Daemon nodded and winked at her as the Demon Boy gave her one last kiss on her hand before standing up from the floor as Daemon turned around to walk away, and the Trio was quick to run towards their Apartment as Stitch and Twig went through the Doggy Door while Hilda opened the door and stepped inside as she closed the door behind her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Hilda says while letting out a lovesick sigh with hearts in her eyes as she leans against the door and slowly slides down into the floor as Hilda smiled contentedly...but then flinched as she saw her smirking Mother, her Boyfriend, her Cousin, and her Alien Friends standing in front of her. "O-Oh, hi, G-Guys. W-What's up?" Hilda asks while standing up from the floor and leaning against the door, trying to act casual but failing as Joanna gave her a sly look.
"So, Hilda, Stitch, you guys are home a little late, huh?" Joanna asked as Hilda sweated nervously and nodded.
"Oh, uh, yeah, sorry about that, Mum. Stitch, Twig, and I got a little sidetracked when we met this Boy in the Woods, and he escorted us home."
"A boy, huh? Do tell." Pleakley says with a smirk as an oblivious Hilda beams and eagerly began talking about Daemon.
"Oh, yeah, he's great, Guys! His name is Daemon, and he's like the sweetest boy you could ever meet! He's so polite, charming, funny, and he has this cute bird companion named Nero. He even helped defend Stitch, Twig, and me from a Troll. He's so brave." Hilda rambled excitedly while clasping her hands together close to her cheeks as she lets out another lovesick sigh. "...Did I forget to mention he's very handsome?"
"Ah, I see," Roland says while sharing a knowing smile with the other Adults as Joanna turned to her Daughter.
"So, Hilda, quick question, did your heart start beating like crazy when you're near him?"
"Uh, yeah."
"And you can't stop blushing or looking at him when you are around this boy, right?" Logan asked smugly with crossed arms as Hilda nodded.
"Yeah, but how did you guys know?"
"Aah, do you know what this means, Hilda?!" A gleeful Joanna asked with a feeling of excitement coursing through her body as Hilda raised an eyebrow at her Mother confusedly.
"That I made another new friend?"
"No, it's way better than that...MY BABY GIRL HAS FINALLY MET HER FIRST CRUSH!" Joanna exclaimed excitedly while rushing over to give Hilda a bone-crushing hug as she squealed in delight. "Oh, I have been waiting for this day to happen for years! You're entering a new chapter in your life! Soon, you will be going on dates with this Boy, then get married and have your own little family!"
"Ha, ha, my Little Cousin is growing up," Logan says with a warm smile as the others nodded.
"Indeed, Blue-Haired Girl is slowly becoming a Blue-Haired Woman," Jumba says as an ecstatic Pleakly turned to Joanna.
"Ooh, we have to tell the girls about this in Book Club, Joanna! They will love this!"
"We're proud of you, Hilda," Roland says while patting Hilda's head as Joanna continued hugging a struggling Hilda and shreds tears of joy.
"Aaaaahhh, my baby girl is growing up so much! You're Father would've been so proud if he was here!"
"Mmmmum, it's n-n-not liiiiiiiiiiiiike that!" A heavily embarrassed Hilda shouted while blushing like crazy as she turned to Stitch and Twig for support, only to see them chuckling in the background as they were enjoying the amusing show before them.
"Uh, uh, uh, you said that your heart was beating like crazy, and you couldn't stop blushing when you met him, and you know what?" Joanna asked while no longer crying comically anymore as she gives her daughter a sly smirk. "I had the exact same feeling that you're having right now when I first met your Father and Roland, which means you finally got your first crush! Ooh, I can't wait to meet him!"
"MUM! MR. TRENTON! LOGAN! JUMBA! PLEAKLEY! I DO NOT, I REPEAT, I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON DAEMON! YOU'RE ALL JUST EXAGGERATING!"
"Look, Hilda, Daemon's behind you!" Logan suddenly screamed while pointing ahead as Hilda gasped and turned around.
"Where?!" Hilda asked excitedly with a blush on her face...before deadpanning as she noticed that there was no one there and blushes harder when she heard the others laughing in the background.
"Ha, ha, this has been fun, but I better get back home to my Family. See you guys another time." Logan says while going over to leave the Apartment as Jumba and Pleakley did the same.
"Indeed, Jumba has to get some parts for a new creation."
"And I have to buy some groceries," Pleakley added in before the trio left as they closed the door behind them, and Stitch and Twig scurried off to watch some TV as Joanna turned to Hilda.
"Alright, Hilda, while it's been fun teasing you, it's time for Dinner. What do you want to..." Joanna says before trailing as he noticed that a woozy Hilda suddenly swayed back and forth as she leans against a wall.
"Whoa, Hilda, are you okay?" Roland asked worriedly as he and Joanna crowded the Eleven-Year-Old Girl.
"Y-Yeah, I am, Mr. Trenton, but Mum? My chest hurts a bit, and I have a sought headache." Hilda says while placing her hand on her chest as she moaned, and Joanna spots this as she narrowed her eyes and gasped a bit in realization as she sweated nervously.
"Oh, no, I forgot to give her the pill." Joanna thought to herself with a glare, cursing at herself for forgetting as she then stood up from the floor.
"Don't worry, sweetheart, I'm sure it's nothing," Joanna says while walking away to the Kitchen as she opened the fridge and poured her Daughter a glass of water before looking around anxiously as Joanna discretely pulled out a bottle of pills from a nearby drawer and opened it as she slipped in some oddly colored pills into the glass of water before putting away the bottle of pills as the Young Attractive Mother made her way back to the hallway. "Here, sweetie, all you need is a glass of water, and you will feel all better," Joanna says while handing the glass of water to Hilda, who drank it as she sighs. "There you go, now, just go to your room and rest for a bit. I will call you when Dinner is ready." Joanna says as Hilda nodded before walking away as Roland turned to his Girlfriend.
"Hey, do you really think it's nothing?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing. If Hilda is hurting tomorrow, then I will take her to the Hospital for a check-up." Joanna promised with a knowing look as Roland raised an eyebrow at her, but nodded as they then went over to the Kitchen to prepare Dinner for the Family just as Hilda suddenly appeared as she poked her head into the Living Room.
"Hey, Stitch, did you eat one of my Right Shoes again? I can't find it." Hilda says as Stitch turned to shake his head at her.
"Eh, Stitch no longer eats shoes. Going straight."
"Oh, really? Well, that's good to hear, Stitch."
"Ih, now Stitch only eats boots," Stitch says while pulling out one of Hilda's Left Boot as he chews on it.
"...I'm going to rest now." A deadpan Hilda says while turning around to leave as she didn't notice that a Male Nisse had teleported into the Apartment and walked past the Oblivious Blue-Haired Girl as he walks into Joanna's Room to steal something before teleporting out of the House in a flash of pink light.
"...Ah, it is good to finally be home, isn't it, Nero?" Daemon asked Nero as we cue over to the Demon Realm and see the Demon Boy and Nero standing inside of their home...well, home is a looser term as it basically is a huge Demonic-like Castle with a thriving village around it filled with various Demonic Villagers of all shapes and colors.
"Yes, it is, Daemon," Nero says with a smirk, showing that he could talk the whole time, as he then squawked, but then the Duo started hearing incoming footsteps as they turned their heads and spotted an Elderly Demon Man greeting them while wearing a Butler Suit. The Newcomer is a 5'10-feet-tall, 350-year-old Demon Man with small black eyes, short white hair with two light orange horns planted on his head, pointy ears, a big nose, a sharp chin with a white beard, slim yet toned clawed arms, Dark Orange Skin, a tall slenderly muscular build, and he was currently wearing a classic butler outfit. His name is Sebestian, the Loyal Butler of Daemon's Royal Family.
"Sebastian." Daemon greeted the Elderly Man with a friendly tone.
"Welcome home, Young Master," Sebastian says while bowing to him briefly and then giving him a warm smile. "How was your walk in the woods, sire? Made any new friends?"
"Oh, I made more than that, my Dear Teacher," Daemon says as Sebastian smirks slyly and nodded.
"Oh, that's good to hear. Maybe one day, you will be able to bring the Little Lady you fancy here in your new Home, and who knows? Maybe she will be your Queen when you eventually become King." Sebastian says teasingly as Daemon chuckles.
"Ke, ke, ke, ke, indeed Sebastian." Daemon says before walking over to look out of the window of his home as he stares up at the Full Moon while thinking fondly of the cute girl he met. "Who would've thought I, Daemon, Future King of the Demon Clan, would fall in love with a Human? Truly fate is a true mystery. Ke, ke, ke, ke, ke."
"Indeed, life works in mysterious ways, sire. I mean, a Male Demon falling in love with a Human Girl sounds a bit unorthodox, but I'm sure that whoever this girl is must be special enough to get your attention, Young Master. I'm sure the two will have a good life together." Sebastian says sincerely while walking away as he left Daemon alone for him to collect his thoughts when suddenly Nero flew over to land on his Master's Shoulder.
"Hey, Daemon, there's something about your Potential Girlfriend that I should tell you about. I've scanned her Aura earlier back in the Woods, and well..." Nero trails off as he leans closer to whisper into Daemon's ear with the Demon Boy listening on carefully as he went wide-eyed in shock at what his Loyal Companion said.
"Oh...oh! Really? Huh, my beloved Hilda just became more intriguing. I knew that there was something special about her when I first locked eyes with her." Daemon says with a sly grin on his face as Nero nods, and the Duo continued staring up at the Full Moon.
And done! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one!
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
