Months later, Vaggie woke up and found Charlie nowhere in sight.

She got dressed and went downstairs looking for her.

She found Charlie, with her hair being an utter mess, planning out everything with lots of paper with strings attached, rambling like a mad woman while the Doctor and the others observed the scene with concern in their eyes.

"I'm just not quite understanding why it's not working. Okay, okay, think Charlie. Think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think. Okay if I do this, it's going to be-" She gasped, "I have trust falls every single morning. We can do-"

"Charlie, sweetie, you...You good?" Vaggie asked.

"Not at all!" Said Charlie manically, "I've been up all night trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working. We've done trust falls, we've tried sharing our feelings, we only have a couple months left before the Angels come."

"You don't redeem a person from a life of sins in just 6 months, it takes time-"

"That we don't have!" Said Charlie, "At this rate, they-"

"Maybe it's time-"

"NO." Charlie interrupted Vaggie.

"To ask-"

"NO!"

"-Your dad."

Charlie groaned

"Her dad? You mean Lucifer?" said the Doctor.

"I know you don't want to, but we need every advantage we can get," said Vaggie.

"But he let the Exterminations happen! They had a meeting and-Hold on, that's it!" said Charlie, "He can get me a meeting with Heaven!"

"Didn't you already have one when I arrived at the Hotel?" the Doctor commented.

" Well, I had one with Adam, he was an asshole," said Charlie.

"Adam? As in, the First Human?" the Doctor thought.

"But he isn't in charge of all of Heaven. We could go to the top. There's sure to be some angels who will listen."

Charlie pulled out her phone and scrolled through her contacts, but hesitated to call her dad, Lucifer.

"What's the holdup? Got Daddy Issues?" Husk asked.

"...No, we just have never been close. After he split, he never really wanted to see me. He calls, sometimes, but only if he's bored or like needs me to do something."

"Basically, you have issues with your father." the Doctor commented.

"Heh, I'd like to meet the Big Dick in charge," said Angel.

"Me too, actually, I fought someone who said he was the Devil." said the Doctor, "He was big, monstrous and all...Firey-wirey..."

"Dad told me he has a lot of impersonators," said Charlie.

"I bet he's scary!" Niffty cackled maniacally.

Meanwhile, at Lucifer's mansion, Lucifer was working on something in his room.

He was short, compared to his NBA-level-tall daughter, but they both shared a striking resemblance, with short blond hair, red eyes with yellow sclera and was wearing an outfit similar to a ringleader's A white-and-red suit with a large top hat.

"That's it... Almost there... Now presenting..." He finally finished his work. What he was working on was nothing but...A rubber duck.

"The magic-tastical back-flipping rubber duck! That spits fire!" The rubber duck spat fire. "Hold the applause please, okay. Oh, thank you, thank you. Oh god, who am I kidding? This SUCKS!"

Lucifer threw the duckie away. Then, his phone started ringing, playing "Entry of the Gladiators".

It was Charlie.

"Daughter?! Daughter! Daughter calling!" Lucifer panicked. He thought about how he should start the conversation. "Uhm uh, uh hello, Charlie. He-ey, hey, hey Char-Char. No, no! That's not good. Oh, this is the first time she's called you in years. This has to be perfect." The Devil picked up the phone. "Heeeey, bitch!"

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

"Hi, Dad," said Charlie.

"How are you? Where-where are you these days?" Lucifer asked.

"You know where I am Dad. I've told you before." Charlie was annoyed.

"You have? Oh, yeah uh, well, you know, I um uh-"

"I told you when you called me five months ago, or did you not listen?"

"Well, I'm actually running a hotel to rehabilitate Sinners. Maybe you saw our commercial?"

"Oh, sadly, I missed it. heh heh. You know, I haven't been watching much TV lately. Scrambles the brain." Lucifer chuckled, "But hey! A hotel, fun."

Charlie sighed. "Listen, Dad, I've got kind of a big ask."

Lucifer smiled, "Yeah, of course. Anything in my power is yours for the asking. You just name it~!"

"I need to speak to Heaven. Well, whoever's in charge up there, above Adam, above anybody. I need to go to the top."

"Oh, no. No!" Lucifer shot down her daughter's request, "No, no, no, no, Charlie, no, no, no. That's, uh hah, no."

"Look, Dad, I don't ask you for much, I never have, but this, this is really important to me. It's the most important thing I've ever done." She glanced at the residents of the Hotel, "And I...need you. I need your help."

"I don't know, Charlie..." Lucifer was insecure.

"Please! Just come see what I'm trying to do. You'll see why it's a really good idea. And Heaven is bound to agree if I get the chance to talk to them. Please, Dad."

"Wait...you're...inviting me over?!" It seemed that Lucifer only heard what he wanted to. "Absolutely! Oh, I'll be there in an hour!" He hung up. "My daughter wants to see me~! TAKE THAT, Depression!" He pointed at a rubber duck.

"Okay, people!" Vaggie went into "Sergeant" mode, "Lucifer is on his way. So we are going to get this place presentable and we are going to make an amazing impression. Vamanos!"

Everyone prepared and cleaned up the place for the Devil's arrival. Then, an hour later...

"Okay everyone, it's showtime!" Charlie opened the door, revealing Lucifer.

"CHARLIE!" The Devil was enthusiastic to visit his daughter. He bear-hugged Charlie, "Oh it's so good to see you!"

"It's uh, good to see you too, Dad..." She said, strained.

Alastor looked at the scene, seemingly angered, but keeping his wide smile.

Lucifer broke the hug.

"Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!" said Charlie.

Lucifer looked around the place, "Wow! This place sure looks, uh...uh uh huh...It's got a lot of character! OH! What in the unholy hell is that?!" He pointed at the bar.

"Just some of the renovations we had done." said Alastor, "Adds a bit of colour, don't you think?"

"...And you are?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow.

Alastor appeared behind the Devil, "Alastor. Pleasure to be meeting you, sir. Quite a pleasure." He hand shook him, then wiped his hand. "It's nice to finally put a face to the name. You are much shorter in real life."

"Who is this? Who is this nut? Are you the bellhop?" Lucifer asked, unimpressed.

"Aha, no! I am the host of the hotel. You might have heard of me from my radio broadcast." said Alastor.

"Hmm...Nope!" said Lucifer. "I guess that's why Charlie called it the Has-been Hotel, ahaha!"

"Ha Ha Ha." Alastor laughed with sarcasm. "It was my idea."

"Ahaha. Well, it's not very clever!" said Lucifer.

"Haha! Fuck you." Alastor grinned.

" Okay! Okay!" Charlie noticed that the situation was escalating. "Anyway. Dad, look at this lovely parlour where people can get to know each other and share secrets and stories and intimate feelings!" She pointed at the hall, "Without Alastor, we wouldn't have been able to pretty it up this much."

"Charlie has a very unique vision. I am happy to fulfil her bizarre requests." Alastor put his hand on her shoulder. "Quite an impressive young lady. We're all very proud of her."

This irritated tremendously Lucifer, who didn't like how closely the Radio Demon acted towards Charlie.

"Ahem, Charlie! Dear, eheh, why don't you introduce me to your OTHER friends?" The Devil changed the argument.

"Oh, yes, of course!" said Charlie, "This is Vaggie, she's my girlfriend."

Lucifer laughed, "You like girls?! So do I! We have so much in common! Put her there, Maggie!" He bearhugged Vaggie. "Oh, she's so pretty!"

"Lovely to meet you, sir," said Vaggie, a bit embarrassed.

"Then, we have Husk, our bartender, and Niffty, our housekeeper," said Charlie.

"Nice to meet you," said Husk.

Niffty, incredibly excited, climbed over Lucifer's coat. "Hello, I clean." She laughed.

"And then, we have our guests: Sir Pentious!"

"Your Majesty!" Pentious saluted Lucifer.

"Angel Dust!"

"Heya, short king~," said Angel, taking a biscuit.

"And a very special guest: The Doctor!" said Charlie.

"Hello, I'm the Doctor." the Doctor hand shook Lucifer, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Your Unholiness."

"Doctor, Doctor, Doctor...I think I heard of you before." said Lucifer, "Yeah, you're the guy that fought the Celestial Toymaker, aren't you?"

"Huh, yes, I am." said the Doctor, confused. "You know the Toymaker?"

"Played with it a couple of times," said Lucifer, "He told me you're an excellent opponent. Didn't expect to see you here in Hell."

"He talks of the Toymaker as if he was a schoolmate instead of a chaotic mad god. That's the Devil for you, I suppose." the Doctor thought. "Oh, it's a...Long story."

"Who's the Toymaker, Doc?" Angel asked.

"I'll explain later." said the Doctor.

"Alright then." said Lucifer, "Looks you need some help from the Big Boss of Hell himself! Just tell me what you need, and I'll give it to you, Charlie!"

"There's no need, I will give her what she wants." said Alastor, "After all, I've been here since Day One, and I care a lot for you!"

Charlie felt flattered, but the other residents could tell that Alastor was spouting utter nonsense.

"Huh, what?" said Lucifer.

"Yes, so much that she could call me...Dad." said Alastor, grinning.

"He knows that one wrong move and Lucifer will obliterate him, yes?" the Doctor thought.

"Oh, you tacky piece of-"

Suddenly, a short and plump human-looking female Sinner entered the hotel. She was wearing a bright pink 1920s flapper dress with yellow details and brown heels.

Alastor recognised her and smiled happily.

"Mimzy!"

"Alastor! Sweetie, Doll-face, So good to see you! How've you been?" said Mimzy, the two hugged.

"Do you know her, Alastor?" the Doctor asked.

"Oh, yes! We were friends from back when we were alive." said Alastor.

"this one used to frequent the club where I used to perform. He's the only one I knew who could pound whiskey like a sailor then keep up with me on the dance floor!"

"Heh, I'd like to see that." Angel chuckled.

"Say, Mimzy, for what do I owe this visit?" Alastor asked.

"Oh, nothing much, I was in the neighbourhood. I heard you were staying at this ritzy slob factory, and I figured I'd stop by, say hi! For old times' sake." said Mimzy. "Hope ya don't mind."

"Not at all, sweetheart! Everyone is welcomed here!" Alastor chuckled.

Mimzy noticed Lucifer, and was immediately infatuated with His Infernal Majesty. "Oh my stars! Is that Lucifer?" He went to him, pushing Pentious out of the way. "Pleased to meet ya! Your highness." She bowed, she turned to Alastor, "Alastor, you gotta warn a girl when she's in mixed company!"

"Charmed, I'm sure." said Lucifer, a bit uncomfortable.

"As much as I'd love to catch up, Mimzy, Charlie and I have a tour to continue." said Alastor.

"I'm sure Charlie can handle showing me around." said Lucifer, hoping the get Alastor away. It didn't work.

"Nonsense! We started the hotel together, and we'll show it off together. Right, Charlie?" He said.

"Oh, right!" said Charlie.

"Why don't you let the others help you settle in, and I'll be back before you know it, Mimzy." said Alastor as he, Charlie, Vaggie and the Doctor went to make a tour of the Hotel for Lucifer.

"So, where can a girl get a drink around here?" Mimzy went to the bar, much to Husk's displeasure. "My, my, is that Husker? Alastor still has you slinging hooch for him, I see." She chuckled, "Classic! How ya been, fur ball?"

"Good...Until five minutes ago." said Husk.

"Oh, don't tell me you're not happy to see me! You might hurt my feelings!" said Mimzy with sarcasm.

Husk groaned and made a drink for the flapper, while Mimzy noticed Niffty, who was looking for bugs scattered on the floor.

"Hey Niffty, whatcha been up to, girlie?" She asked.

"Fighting bugs," said Niffty.

"And, how's that going for ya?" Mimzy asked.

"They're winning..." The cyclop Sinner pulled out a large knife with sadistic intent, "But not for too long."

Husk gave Mimzy a drink and left the bar.

"So uh, you and Alastor are like, what? Friends?" Angel sat down.

"Yeah, you could say that. Why's so surprised?" Mimzy asked.

"Well, just didn't know he had any of those. He's been here a while and is still a big, creepy mystery. What's his deal?" The spider demon asked.

"You probably heard the stories..." Mimzy began to tell Alastor's story.

"He appeared in Hell suddenly, making a splash quicker than anyone had ever seen. At first, people wanted to dismiss him. but soon, Overlord started going missing, and not small ones neither. We're talking heavy hitters. No one knew what happened to 'em until these strange radio broadcasts started going out. All you could hear were screams. Every time an overlord went missing, there'd be a new voice screaming in the broadcast! That's when Alastor revealed himself as the radio demon, and anyone that would mess with him... *chuckles* well, let's just say, his broadcasts never lacked new voices."

The remaining residents were...Spooked by Mimzy's tale.

"Oh, quit with the looks, he hasn't done anything like in a while! Just some jazz and whisky and he's a kitten!"

Meanwhile, during the tour, Husk went to talk with Alastor.

"Hey, boss." He said, "Can I have a word?"

Alastor's head turned 180 degrees, then his body did the same, with the other going away. "What is it?"

"You and I both know Mimzy only shows up when she needs something. That bitch is trouble, and who knows what kind of demon she fucked with to come running to you this time?" said Husk.

"it's nothing I can't handle. Don't worry, Husker." said Alastor, "Who in their right mind would cross me?"

"I mean, you've been gone a while, and it's not like anybody knows why." said Husk.

" They don't need to know, and don't you worry your fuzzy head about it!" Alastor mockingly rubbed Husk's ear.

"You may own my soul, but I ain't your fucking pet!" Husk shouted.

"But you are~!" Alastor laughed as he walked away. The cat demon, annoyed by the Radio Demon's mockery, commented under his breath.

"Big talk for someone who's also on a leash."

Alastor stopped walking, the lights went off, his eyes became radio dials. Reality began to glitch around.

"Aha...W̵̫͕͚̯̗̬͓͔͔̥̟͚̮̌̀̕͝h̶͇̺̐̂͠͝a̷͉̖̝̰̪̽͆̈́̈̽͠ţ̵͔̔̎̉͐̎̓̉͘ ̵͇̺̤̈́̀̎̋̏͑̌̐͊̾̈́̆̂͝ḋ̸̡̟͔̰͎͇̹̪̤͖̈́̂̊i̵̮͚̖͈̲̤͔͇̺̣̾͑̐̈́̄̏̆̈́̋̚d̸̨̮̠̪̬̤͉̜̤̻̺͆͆̈́́̇̒͊̇̏̈́͂̑̓͘ͅ ̶̛̥̥̻̻͈̻̩͈̰̻̳̿̍̃͌̚͘͜͠ỹ̴̬̳̤͓͍͉̗̯͗̄́̈́͜͝͠ǫ̵̛͖̻̞̝͈̳̮̟͕͂̓͊̿̊̕̚͝u̸̢̻̘͔̲̺̓̽̀̓̾̏͠ ̷̢̪̙͙͛̓̏̈̈̅̀͛̃̈̈̈́̚ș̶̯̠̝͔̱̼̫̽́̽ǎ̶̙͚̤̦̯̘͇͓̺̔̎͗͝y̴̞̞͕͉̰̮̘̣̳̤̿͌ͅ?̵͍̱͐̂́̽̆̀̓̚"

A ghostly green chain appeared around Husk's neck.

"Fuck! Nothing! I, uhm..." Husk panicked.

The Radio Demon slowly approached him, twirling the chain around his microphone stick. "If you ever say that again, I will tear your soul apart and broadcast your screams for every other disrespectful WRETCH who dares to question me!"

"U-Understood." said Husk, completely terrorised.

"Lovely." Alastor went back into his cheery persona. "Good talk, my good man! Always nice to catch up."

Meanwhile, with the tour...

"...And we've almost been able to find all of Angel Dust's drug stashes... almost." Vaggie explained.

"So, once that's out of the way, it should be much smoother sailing!" said Charlie.

"Well that certainly is, uhh... is-is something." said Lucifer.

"So, what do you think of the Hotel?" Charlie asked.

"Oh! Yes! It does- it does look much better now, doesn't it?" Lucifer chuckled, "You know, but I'm thinking this railing needs work, one good push and you'd just go right over the edge! Whoopie! Bye bye!"

"What? No, no, the plan, Dad! What do you think about using the hotel to help Sinners?" The Princess asked.

"Alright, I mean, look, I love that you want to see the best in people, but these sinners, you know, they're just the worst. I, I don't know how much you can realistically expect from them, and Heaven? It's...not exactly as carefree as you might think. Yeah, they have rules, lots of rules, and they aren't very open-minded as you'd hope." said Lucifer.

"These are our people, Dad, I... I have to try!" said Charlie.

"Our "people", Charlie, are awful!" Lucifer objected. "They got gifted free will and look what they did with it! Everything's terrible! I just don't want you to put yourself on the line for people like-"

A loud thud shook the Hotel. They group looked down and saw loan shark Demons holding a battering ram.

"MIMZY! WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE YOU LOUSY BITCH!" One of them yelled.

Lucifer teleported the trio back to the main hall.

"Que carajo?!" said Vaggie.

"Shit..." said Mimzy.

"What's going on?" said the Doctor.

" I maaaaaay be in trouble with some loan sharks. I may or may not have borrowed 50 grand from—" Mimzy explained, interrupted by a loud thud. "And I may have also stolen a car... and crashed it... into the loan shark's girlfriend, but that bitch had it coming!"

The windows and walls of the Hotel were barraged by fireballs.

"Ah! We're under siege!" said Sir Pentious, "Take cover!"

The residents panicked and dodged the fireballs.

"You see? This is exactly what I'm talking about Charlie. You build something nice, you invite people in and offer them everything and they just bring violence and chaos to your doorstep. It doesn't matter how well intentioned you are, they're always going to disappoint you." said Lucifer...Except that he was immediately disproven by Sir Pentious grabbing Niffty before the debris crushed her.

The Doctor had enough. "Anthony!" He threw his TARDIS key at Angel, who grabbed him. "Hide yourself and everyone in the TARDIS, I'll deal with the loan sharks!" He pulled out his sonic screwdriver.

"I'll come with you." Vaggie took her spear.

"No, let me deal with this." said Alastor. It's time I remind everyone why I am here." His eyes turned into radio dials.

"Oh, finally! Took you long enough!" said Mimzy.

A green aura surrounded the Hotel.

"A reminder to all, not to mess with the Radio Demon!" As Alastor laughed maniacally, he turned into a more monstrous form and destroyed the catapult. "I will devour each and every one of you!"

As Alastor brutally massacred the attackers, Lucifer had a smug smile and kept lecturing Charlie, oblivious to the mess surrounding him. "Mhm, you see? What'd I tell you? Charlie, Sinners are violent psychopaths, hell bent on causing as much pain and destruction as they can. There's really no point in trying."

"Dad! Stop! He's defending this hotel!" said Charlie, "It may be a bit more sadistic than I'd hoped, but he's doing it for me! How come he can have faith in me but my own father can't?"

"I highly doubt it." the Doctor thought.

"Oooh, drama!" said Angel, grinning.

Outside, Alastor finished his carnage. "Oh, I missed getting to let off steam!"

"Oh, Alastor! What a fantastic show! Bravo! As always." said Mimzy, "Thanks for helping lil' old me out of a tougher spot, you're always such a pal!"

Some debris fell next to her.

"Heheh... sorry about the mess, but I'm sure the little bug can take care of it for you." said Mimzy.

"I think you should go, Mimzy, now." said Alastor, his radio filter disappeared.

Mimzy laughed, "Alastor, you're such a kidder you! Haha, you are so funny!"

"I mean it. You deliberately brought danger to this place just to have me clean up your mess. I can't have that here." said Alastor.

"But you love taking care of me!" Mimzy complained, "What, you don't actually give a shit about this tacky place, do ya? Come on, I know you, you heartless son of a bitch~!"

"You are welcome if you actually want to give redemption a shot, but I think we both know that's not really your style, so you need to leave." said Alastor.

Mimzy was offended, "Fine! Who needs you? Have fun with your little princess and your little hotel! See if I care!" She flipped him off as she left.

Meanwhile, Lucifer retreated to the lobby, emotionally hurt. Charlie followed him.

"Dad, just... help me." She said.

"I... I can't."

"Why can't you?"

"Charlie!" Lucifer held her hand, "You don't understand. Heaven never listens! They didn't listen to me, they won't listen to you!"

"You don't know that!"

"I do!" Lucifer began singing.

"You didn't know that when I tried this all before

My dreams were too hard to defend

And in the end, I won't lose it all again

Now you're the only thing worth fighting for

More than anything, more than anything

I'll shelter and adore you more than anything..."

"Dad, I don't need you to protect me from this." said Charlie.

"I just don't want you to be crushed by them like... like I was." said Lucifer, looking away.

"When I was young, I didn't really know you at all

I always felt so small

But I heard your stories and I was enthralled

Thе tales about your lofty dreams, I listened breathlessly

Imagining it could be me

So in the end, it's the view I had of you

That showed me dreams can be worth fighting for

More than anything, more than anything

I need to save my people more than anything...

"I've been dying to find out who you are." Lucifer sang.

"I've been waiting, wanting the same thing." Charlie continued.

"Looks like the apple doesn't fall far..." Lucifer smiled.

"Took you a while..."

"I've missed that smile."

They sang together, "All that I'm hoping,

now that my eyes are open, is that we can start again.

not be pulled apart again. Cause in the end, you are part of who I am."

"I'll support your dream, whatever lies in store..." Sang Lucifer.

"And who could ask for more?" Charlie smiled.

They sang together, "More than anything, More than anything..."

"I'm grateful you're my daughter/my father more than anything..."

"More than anything..."

They hugged, the other residents assisted the scene.

"Aww, that was ssssweet!" said Sir Pentious.

"Ok, I can get you the meeting but once you're in Heaven, I won't be able to go with you. Will you be ok?" Lucifer asked.

"You don't need to worry about that, your Unholiness." the Doctor approached the two and stood next to Charlie. "She won't be alone."

Lucifer sighed, as he disappeared in a purple mist. "Good luck, kiddo."

"Are you sure you wanna come, Doctor?" Charlie asked.

"Of course. If the Devil himself knows me, I wonder if there's some higher-up in Heaven that knows me too. Besides, I told you that I'll help you stop the Extermination.

"This next part is going to be scary." Vaggie approached the two, "You ready, hon?"

"I am." Charlie hugged her girlfriend, "Cuz you'll be with me too."

"In...Spirit, right?" Vaggie asked, insecure.

"In Heaven!"

"Yay..."

And so, it begins, a second chapter of their Majestic Tale. Little did our Time Lord know that he would have been in some touching reunions...And unpleasant first meetings.

THE DOCTOR, CHARLIE, AND THE OTHER WILL RETURN IN

"Heaven Trialed"

ON MARCH 28th
