First chapter in a long while without any singing, and has more answers to who the woman that James talked to at the Halloween Party was. As well as a possible look at how Lu Lu World is like from the picture from the pilot and implications of it being like Disney World.

Hazbin Hotel: Hellish Misfits

Chapter 16: Lu Lu Royal Date

Things were silent while in the suite room of the Hazbin Hotel, in the late hours of the night, Charlie was up planning for the date she would have with James, she had spent several days during her free time to plan the perfect first date with him on where to go how to dress like and their activities for the date. However, only one place would allow her do give him the best time, especially to make sure those who work there won't ruin it, but there's also a risk because of who owns it...

KeeKee was asleep on the couch, though Vaggie opened the door, as she was half-asleep, yawning, "Charlie? I heard some rustling in your room, and I..."

But then blinked, as she saw a 'murder board' of notes and plans, red strings all over the room tied up on some pins with phots of restaurants, rides, the tunnel of love. And all of them to a photo of James, who was unaware of the snapshot. Courtesy of Lydia. Vaggie blinked, as she asked, "What's this?"

"My perfect date planner for James and I, and I just now discovered the best place to take him," Charlie explained turning to Vaggie smiling, though her best friend can see worry on the princess' face. "And Don't worry I have been sleeping," Charlie assured Vaggie.

"Oh no. I know you get your beauty sleep," Vaggie said, as she looked to the board, but then pointed, "But don't you think this is a bit... excessive?"

Charlie looked at him and said, "Vaggie, this is like my first date in years, ever since I split from my ex, Seviathan. I'm a little out of practice and I want this to go off perfectly." She even grabbed Vaggie by the shoulders and added, "I NEED THIS to go perfectly!"

"Then just skip the flying Flame Doves, and just go for a coffee with him," Vaggie replied.

"What? A simple coffee," She asked surprised, running her hands through her hair, "I don't know... I mean I want it to be at the best place in Hell." Then the idea of where she could take him came as a expression of shock before looking at the board, "Hang on..." She then smiled, "Yes! I can do that! I can take him to the most magical place in all of Pride!" Charlie exclaimed happily, literally jumping in joy.

Vaggie looked at the board, and blinked, going wide eye, "Lu Lu World?"

"Exactly!" Charlie said beaming, though Vaggie seemed concerned, especially since Charlie's dad literally ran Lu Lu World, even though he hasn't been there in years he makes sure those who work there keep it up and running and gets reports to make sure it doesn't become like Loo Loo Land.

Though she noticed a highlight on the chart, as it said, 'Carry me like a princess' with a sketch doodle of her being carried like a bride by a doodle of James. She pointed at it, and asked, "Why's this part highlighted so much?"

Charlie froze before she dove and took it blushing, "What's highlighted? I don't know what you're talking about! You're imagening things!"

Vaggie smirked, as she teased, "Wait. You want James to carry you like a bride or princess being rescued?" But realizing she was teasing on this, she sweat dropped, "Jeez, I've been hanging around Lydia too long."

Charlie blushed her face becoming red like the circles on her cheeks and admitted embarrassedly, "Wha? I don't know... Maybe...?"

She sighed, as she looked to Vaggie, "Okay, I will confess something, Vaggie. So please don't judge me."

"Not possible, but sure," Vaggie shrugged.

Charlie blushed, as she softly smiled, looking at the doodle, "When I was a kid, I read a lot of child storybooks about princesses being saved and carried by their true loves bridal style." She rubbed her cheeks to try and cool down the burning, "I guess it's something I've really wanted to do. But with Seviathan..." she sighed depressed, as she stopped, "It never became a reality. I thought it'd never happen especially after my parents separated, but when James came here... I thought somewhere deep inside, that he might be able to help me live out that fantasy, especially after how I watched all those Disney movies where that happens in one way or another and well... I thought it'd be perfect for our date today."

Vaggie smiled at her friend, as she patted her shoulder, and smiled, "Well... maybe he might do that." But rolled her eyes, "But for crying out loud, Charlie. It's 3 in the morning. You need to rest."

Charlie looked at the time, "Okay... but the main problem I see is either Dad actually going there or getting a report of me showing up at Lu Lu World with a boy..."

She then turned to Vaggie and said, "And you know how Dad will be when I told you how my break up went..." (

"Well... he might not be there. You know how he's been since your mom broke up with him," Vaggie reasoned with her.

"Yeah but the manager of the park still sends reports to him since he built it and still has ownership of it..." Charlie reminded.

Vaggie smirked, "Then leave it to me. I can take care of that guy."

"And of course my god-father might be there for his show." Charlie added concerned.

"Charlie!" Vaggie almost screamed, but calmed down, as she sighed, taking a deep breath. She then calmly said, "I and a few others will be making sure that this date goes off without a hitch. So don't be fretting over this. Get some sleep. You'll be needing a lot of it for tomorrow."

Charlie took deep breathes before calmed down enough and nodded, "Okay, night Vaggie."

"Night, Charlie," she said, as she walked out the door. But then became hardened, "Okay... now for the other one."

James's Room

James was fast asleep, though he had done some preparation beforehand. Getting some new clothes, and planning the date too, unaware of Charlie's plans. Though he didn't notice the door opening, but he felt a bit heavy on top. He then blinked, as he groggily looked... to see Vaggie on top of him. Blinking, as he groggily asked, "Vaggie? Wha...?"

"You shut up and listen to me..." Vaggie threatened, actually pulling a knife to his throat, "Tomorrow if Charlie asks to take you somewhere you accept and you do everything in your power to make her happy, got it?!"

James arched an eyebrow, but asked, "Eh wait. She's taking me somewhere? But I was trying to …"

"Don't ruin it for her..." Vaggie growled angrily.

"Okay," James squeaked. But then asked, "Though why are you on top of me? You could have just sat on the side."

"Which would get my message across more? Me on top or me at your side?" Vaggie asked still holding her dagger.

"I'll be on my best behavior tomorrow," James said, not wanting to answer that question for fear of his life, and… modesty…

"I knew you'd see it my way." Vaggie said but as she climbed out she seemed upset before going to the door. She then popped her head in and warned, "You might want to get the cat out of here before you leave."

James sat up, as he blinked, "The cat?"

She points callously to his side, and he'd see Summer laying there snoozing with his sheets over her body.

James went wide eye at this, as he looked flabbergasted, as he said, "I don't know how I keep missing these cat girls."

Summer exhaled cutely and moaned, in her sleep, "Jakey... please breed me..."

Outside of James's Room, he gently put the sleeping Summer at his door, and gently closed the door. But then reopened it as he draped a blanket on top of her, and then closed it again. He then walked back to bed yawning, as he groaned, "I'm never getting use to this."

he would see Dia laying on her side, on his bed withnothing but a towel and said, bedroom eyes look, "Now that the kids are away, we can have fun, handsom."

James sighed, as he looked to her, exhausted mentally, "Dia. What are you doing?"

"Why serving at your pleasure, big boy." Dia said cooly, winking as an extra emphasis.

"It's late," James groaned, "Please, go to bed."

"I am in bed, sugar."

James sighed... and then walked over to the bathroom, as he went in, and locked the door. "I'll sleep in the tub."

Morning

The next time he woke up, his alarm sounded, morning.

He sat up from the tub, to which it was his makeshift bed, as he got up. Despite it being a tub, it was rather comfy. It was one of those times that when he was panicking about a tornado/thunderstorm and used the bathroom as a makeshift bomb shelter helped him to get used to sleeping in a tub. He then opened the door... only to see Summer and Dia in towels.

James sighed, as he saw the semi-nude girls, and asked, "Summer. Dia. What is it that you two want?"

"We just want to help you wash your back." Dia cooed winking, Summerfollow suit with her opposite eye, "Nya, I wanna see if you got muscles on your back." (edited)

"I have to get ready for a date, you two," James sighed, not wanting this any further. But then the girls stepped up, and gently pushed him in, surprising him, as he fell on his butt, "Ow. What the...?" But then blushed, as he saw the girls walk in, lock the door, and the two seductively looked to him. He gulped, as he said, "Um... You know I can bathe myself, right?"

"We kno, but we're now here to serve you like we did Mr. Val and he wanted us to make sure we got cleaned every nook and cranny on him." Dia said while SUmmer nodded.

Summer knelt down with James, as he gulped, "Um... and uh how... would this be different from Valentino?"

"Nothing." Summer said as she reached between his legs with a sponge in her other hand.

1 Hour Later

James was now fully clean, and got his clothes ready for the future date. Though at the moment, he was a bit dazed on what Summer and Dia had done. Though at the moment, as he sat down for breakfast in the main room, everyone was just looking at him wondering what happened. Though Dia and Summer were all aglow.

Vaggie had a suspicious look and glared venomously at James.

"Had a good wash?" Vaggie asked coldly.

James sighed, looking half-tired, "I... really don't wanna go into this, Vaggie."

"So, you enjoyed it," Vaggie blatantly said, looking like she was ready to kill him.

Though James merely sighed, as he answered, "I feel like I got violated."

"That's not what the moan said." The two lusty demons cooed as they got their breakfast too.

James angrily yet comically shot out, while blushing beet red, "I DID NOT ENJOY IT!"

"Enjoy what?" Charlie's voice called from the hallway as she came in looking beautiful today.

Charlie would have breakfast as she hummed and ate with a pleasing smile on her face.

James though blushed, "Um... how amazing you look."

Lydia, Summer and Dia looked at each other, and gave a thumbs up, 'Nice Recovery.'

"Okay.." Angel smirked, as he knew the teasing would commence, "What's with the smiles, you two? You got infect from Smiles?"

"You can say that." Charlie said as she took a sip of her drink.

"Uh huh," Angel smirked, as he finally asked, "So I take it you and Dante are goin' on a date?" The question though was asked as James walked to the kitchen to clean the dishes up, so he was well out of ear shot.

Charlie blushes more and became even giddier.

"Yep," Charlie smiled, "I'm actually planning to take him to Lu Lu World for our first date."

Angel though looked a bit surprised on that, as he asked, "Wait, Lu Lu World?"

"Yep. The real one," Charlie smiled, feeling giddier at this.

"And... you're taking him," Angel asked to be certain. With Charlie nodding, as she still smiled, though cupping her cheeks at this.

But then Husk said, rather bluntly, "Oh shit. This is gonna get bad."

Vaggie would grab them and asked Charlie, 'Could you excuse me for a minute?"

Then left with the two before slamming them against the wall and said, "You two have a problem with them having a date?"

"It ain't the date that's the problem, Vag," Angel replied, as he felt a bit awkward, "It's just... eh... well..."

"Isn't he supposed to take her out. Not the other way around," Husk asked, making sense. "This kinda feels like she's wooing him."

"I'm sorry are you two-old timers having trouble with Charlie asking him out?" Vaggie asked glaring at the two.

"Nah, not at all. But isn't the whole point of him trying to romance with her? I mean, I get it. She's the princess of Hell," Angel explained, "But if she's always payin' the bills, gettin' the gifts... doesn't that mean he's a good for nothin' leech usin' her ta get a free meal, entertainment, etc?"

"Yeah, and considering James's goody-two-shoes personality, he'll cancel the date until he's got the funds ready," Husk answered. "Kinda defeats the purpose of him tryin' to prove his worth to her heart, doesn't it?"

"This is the first date she had in years. and she just wants to ask him out, it doesn't matter if he pays or not." Vaggie answered, "And Charlie's not gonna let him do that especially if it makes her sad. Are you saying that he should make her said because he's too 'man enough' to not accept her help?"

"It ain't that, sweetie," Angel replied, as he explained, "He'd just feel bad about taking advantage of her. If anything, he just wants to do something for her."

Vaggie glared, "Excuse me?"

"Like get her a special gift," Husk pointed out.

James stepped out, wearing black pants with a small flap of shirt sticking out on the left, with gold ring patterns up and below his knees, with black and red detailed sneakers. He wore a similar hoodie like his old one, but it was purely black, with a black long sleeve on the left, with black fingerless gloves on both hands, with the front half zipped open and folded to the right. He walked to Charlie, wearing a black dress with open bell sleeves that ended at her elbows, with skin tight red sleeves going from elbows to hands, a pencil skirt with a V cut going down to her knees, black on the side, and white on the front and back, while there was a gold belt around her waist with an apple buckle on it, black pantyhose, and black strap on heels. The dress top was shoulderless, as Charlie also had on a red choker, and her hair was done up in a silky lower ponytail instead of her usual braid. "So, Charlie. Ready to go out?"

Charlie nodded smiling as she wrapped her arms around his, hugging her to him before saying, "Later guys!"

They all waved at them, as they left. But then Lydia slinked up to Vaggie, and asked, "So... does James know where they're going?"

"Nope." Vaggie said.

She then looked at Lydia and asked, "Should we be worried that he'll mess this up?"

There was an awkward silence amongst them, with Vaggie looking visibly worried with a strain sense on trying not to look it. Then Lydia asked, "So... we're gonna follow them and make sure the date goes to a hitch, right?"

Vaggie bit her lip, wanting to answer, but couldn't if it would hurt Charlie after the progress she had made to recover from the breakup.

Later On

Moments From Lu Lu World

The limo drove down the road while Charlie and James waited in the back. Though as they did, James said, "You know you did t have to do this, Charlie. I mean I know I'm not rich but i could have e started out with maybe um.." he tried to think of a good starting point as he realized there weren't. And slumped, "this was a blunder."

Charlie placed a gentle hand on his and said smiling, "James, you have done so much for me since you came here. Please don't think of anyway to pay me back. Think of this as a private day to relax and have fun, okay?"

James looked to her and sighed, "I'll do my best. But I'm not one who likes to sit still."

"WHo said anything about sitting still at a restraunt?" She then opened the window to show him where they are going, and it looked like to James that they going to not a restaurant or any fancy upper-crust sort of event. It was a theme park that was large with a palace in the middle. limo pulled over at the front and Charlie came out and said, "Welcome to Lu Lu World, James. The most magical place in Hell."

"Lu Lu World," James blinked.

"Lu Lu World," Charlie smiled brightly and proudly.

Though a vagrant from afar shouted out enough for the two to hear, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

That vagrant was then arrested for disturbing the peace of the theme park by demons in uniforms. while Charlie cleared her throat and said, smiling on her fact "Let's get going."

She suddenly grabbed his hand, and pulled him in, without giving him so much as a chance.

They made to a entrance that was barely had any patrons going in as the demon behind the desk, looking at his magazine said, "I'm sorry this is a VIP entrance. You'd ha-ah!" The demon looked up to see Charlie there, sweating profusely and said shakily, "P-P-Pr-pr-pr-pr-princess... S-s-so nice to see you today." He then noticed the guy with her, and asked, "And um.. is this.. your b-b-b-b-bodyguard?

"Actually this is my plus one." Charlie informed him still smiling friendly. where as the demon did a double take, mistaking the demon next to her for an Imp, and then got ready two bands, "H-here are your full-royal band passes, for you and your plus one, to enjoy the park to your content."

He then got a map in hand, "I know that you may not need it, your highness, but I thought that with some new additions to the park set by your father 7yrs ago, you might want to have this updated map."

"Oh thank you," Charlie smiled.

James graciously took the band, but then noticed a poster of what appeared to be a Fizzy-bot, as he pointed to it, "This park also has a Fizzy-Bot entertainment?"

"What? No, man," the demon said, "That's the real Fizzaroli. Don't think we're that cheapo copy down in Greed," he said, looking seriously. "I swear, if the guy that runs that ring, wasn't the princess's uncle, I'd be say a ton of complaints."

Charlie chuckled nervously before pulling James alone once the demon opened the gate for them to enter and unlike Loo Loo Land, James is greeted with what looked like a pleasant little town square with demons of all kind enjoying themselves while not once showing any form of violence or debauchery as usual while the patrons go into the shops to get or look at items.

The large center also looked like it was leading up to a statue depicting three figures, A man dressed like a ringmaster, a tall woman with horns, and a small child in their arms while the road around them lead to a palace with a golden apple at the top spire.

"This place looks an awful lot like Disney world," James commented, as he looked around, "Not to mention everyone is so... well, it's like Cannibal Town. Everyone's nice."

Charlie smiled, answering that last bit, "I know, Dad wanted this to be a place where those who want wholesome family fun can come here and forget about their troubles. You can say some of the people who built that theme park on earth arrived here and Dad put them to work to make this place with his own touches of course."

She would let go of James to twirl around excitedly but gracefully, before she beamed, "I loved coming here with my folks when I was a kid."

"I remember my dad and mom took me to Disney once," James said, remembering something of those times. "Though I was just a kid myself, so I don't really remember much. Though teh Tower of Terror freaked me out more than Haunted Mansion."

Charlie smiled hearing that before opening the map, "Let's see... what can we do first on our date?"

"We're already at the Apple Kingdom part of Lu Lu World, where it has many cafes, restaurants, and stores, as well as some classic rides like the "Small Hell tent", the "Hall of president", "Ghost Manor", "Bumbo's ride", "Guttony cruise", "Frontier Wrath", -" Charlie began focusing on where to go in this part of the park.

"Dagnabit, man! That guy is late," one of the stand clerks said. It was one that involved a similar game from Loo Loo Land... that he, Moxxie, and Vaggie lost at. "It's been a month, and that carny can't be bothered with his swindling to at least help with this!"

"I told 'im this isn't like that Crappy-copy over in Greed. if he doesn't shape up he's gonna be tormented by the big boss." His fellow clerk said shaking his head.

Though while Charlie was busy looking for where the first date would be, James walked up, "Um, excuse me?"

The two carnies looked at him, distrustingly before seeing the band and stopped before talking politely, "Oh, uhh. Hello sir. Can we be of help to you?"

"I was wondering if you needed help. You're a man short..."

"IF he doesn't show up in thirty minutes, he loses his pay," one of the carnies said. "And we've got a line of customers wanting to win a Lulu doll."

James looked to see chibi version of Lucifer, which were surprisingly cute. James asked, "Well, if you need help, I could pitch in for a bit of time."

The two shared a glance between themselves, before asking, "But uh... are you sure you want to? Especially since yer part of the... you know." he gesture to the band to show how he's a paying customer as well as here with someone of royalty.

"Well, I don't mind. So long as I can get a private game with my date later," James assured them.

The two looked worrying when they saw the guy gesturing who his date was and were sweating bullets in worry about this. On one hand here's a demon who's willing to work, on the other hand, he's with the daughter of the park's creator and someone you do not want to upset for just hiring on the spot should she expect him to be with her instead of working...

He looked to them, and asked, "I don't think she'll mind."

The taller one would then suggest, "maybe you should enjoy the part first before think about working here? I mean it's gonna take time for management to do background checks on hires before we can do this."

"Okay, but I'll come back if things haven't gotten better," James said, as he walked back to Charlie, and asked, "Find anything worth trying for a first date?"

Charlie nodded, "I think going through the Gluttony Cruise will be great before seeing the "Pirates of the Curssabbean" or the "Ghost Mansion"."

"Gluttony Cruise? That sounds like an all-you-can-eat buffet," James arched an eyebrow.

"You'd think that but it relates to the landscape of Gluttony. You know since that's where DD came from." Charlie reminded offering her arm, "Shall we, Mr. Dante?"

"Okay," he said, gladly accepting it, "Though if this is where DD came from, I'm eager to see what it looks like."

"It's just some replanting done by dad, but if you really wanna see how Gluttony's like we should go to the Beast Kingdom area after the boat ride." She said showing him another map, leading him over to where the cruise boat is waiting, "That's were the real atmosphere of Gluttony is like. It actually has hell beasts that exist all over, but mostly in Gluttony."

"I think Daredevil might like that too," James smiled.

Though Charlie beamed more, "I might actually get to see Auntie Bee for some time now."

"Aunt Bee?" James asked.

"You'll find out if she ever has a part here like she used to." Charlie hinted being sly at her date while they entered a boat where many demons were and sat down while the captain of the boat went over the safety rules before they head on over through the cruise.

Charlie managed to sit next to James, who held her hand to lead and make sure to stay close with. Though him holding her hand made her go wide eye and blush. Not like he noticed it.

Charlie felt her heart beating quickly while sitting so close to James and holding his hand.

Though James was completely oblivious to it at all.

Charlie would try and discreetly scooch closer to her while the man continued on with the tour of the cruise.

Though James was merely watching all of it, to even notice Charlie's state. Which in some ways was good for Charlie because it would have been weird if James took notice of this just yet.

with in some time the ride was over and everyone had to get out though Charlie was happy to spend it with James.

Though James noticed Charlie blushing all over, as he asked, "You okay, Charlie? You're red all over."

Charlie caught herself and said blushing, "Oh yeah, I'm totally fine."

She then looked and asked, "Hey, you wanna go to the Luxurialand part of the park before we go to Hellbeast Kingdom?"

"Sure. But what's in Luxuland," James asked.

"Oh, you know, a place where a little demons pleasures are made real, especially if your a girl." She said having fond memories of that place.

James jumped back from Charlie, blushing as he freaked out, "Whoa! Hold on! I'm not ready for that level in the relationship. We're at kissing and dating, but I'm not good with that stuff.'

"No, not that. I mean like a fairy tales." Charlie assured her date, thought secretly hiding a blush.

He blinked, as he was now confused, "I'm still a bit confused. Maybe you could show me?"

Moments Later

LuxuLand

As he arrived in the section of the park, he would see some of the staff members dressed up as characters of a fairy tale story either enacting or performing small skits, some of the rides involved demon or hellish versions of fairy tales like the little mermaid or a carrousel of bicorns. The designs of the staff members in costumes were a little too close of being sexualized.

"Yeah Uncle Ozzy really worked with Dad on this, though he might've gone a little much on making it like Lust..." Charlie admitted but seeing it really brought back good memories for her and her family.

James blushed, as he asked, "So um... what do you wanna do here?"

"Well there's the bicorn carrousel we could do or the Pierre Panner flying ride, or we can look at the shops." Charlie said gesturing both of the rides or the shops on the side, "I mean it's not like there's a big show or anything..." But clamped her mouth shut,.

"Bicorns," James asked. "Don't they usually allow women who are um... deflowered... to ride them?" But then James asked, "What show?"

Charlie began blushing and said, "Well... it's been 10 yrs since I was last here so I don't know if they do that sort of show or not..."

"Charlie. What show should I be worried about," James asked, feeling like this was gonna lead to something bad.

"nothing..." she said feeling a bit nervous to tell him.

"Liar," James pointed out. "I know you're lying because you get nervous when you wanna avoid the truth. And don't bother dodging that."

the princess, resisting, spoke the truth, looking to the side embarrassed, "Just the narrator of the story selects two people, usually a couple, to play the reenacting parts of how mom and dad met..."

James blinked, "Wait, wha..." But then blinked, "Wait." He then smirked, "You're hoping we get picked, aren't you?"

"Mmmmmaybee?" She asked her eyes shifting over to the other side blushing brighter now.

James returned to normal, as he shrugged, "Well, it sounds fun and all. But I don't see us being selected that fast..."

Charlie dashed over, "Please at least go with me to see if it's possible?"

"Sure," he smiled to her, holding her hands as well. But James blinked, as he asked, "Wait. If you get picked to be Lilith... would you... I mean... um... well."

"Well, what," Charlie asked, but saw him blushing.

Embarrassed, he asked, "Um... do you have to be.. nude during that?"

"No... of course not. We'll be wearing robes. Or an illusion spell will be cast."

"Oh thank Go... I mean, thank goodness," James breathed out, but wasn't sure if he should say God. She blinked innocently at him, confused on why he was acting like that. "Well, I'm not saying I don't wanna see you in the nude, I'm just not mentally, spiritually... mostly mentally prepared," James innocently said.

Charlie blushed, "Oh... Right! Of course." She said blushing embarrassed by what he was implying, especially as she wasn't prepared for that either...

The two made their way to check out the Lucifer/Lilith show.

When they arrived they saw that the more recent show ended and the crowd leaving.

"Oh shoot," James said, knowing full well that Charlie wanted to do this. He looked to her, who seemed a bit broken hearted, but asked, "Wait. Do they do these showings hourly?"

"It's actually going to take them two-and-a-half hours." Charlie answered showing him.

"Well, I'm sure we can do a whole lot during that time for the next showing," James smiled to her.

Charlie began to feel better and looked at him, "Yeah, you're right." She then took his hand and lead him, "Come on, let's go."

"Still though, if you get picked out, you'd make a very good Lilith," James smirked. "Not just bloodline."

Charlie blushed hearing that before she said, "And I'd think you'd make a good Lucifer."

James blushed, as he said, "Nah, I don't think I could pull that off."

"Don't count your flames before they spark." She said while they were walking. as they did James thought he saw something red glowing catch his eye and when he looked he saw a golden necklace with a snake pendant encircling a blood-red, apple-shaped ruby. He had never seen anything like this before in his life.

Though it was only a split second, he saw what would be the focal point for this date. And he aimed to get it for Charlie.

Charlie continued to lead him to the monorail that'll take them to all of the different parts of Lu Lu World.

"So where are we going now," James asked, as she pulled him in with her as they sat down.

"Hellbeast Kingdom. There's where you can really get the Gluttony experience." She said as she smiled glad that the monorail only goes for the whole park in case people wanted to travel quickly.

The voice on the train's PA would announce, "NOW ARRIVING AT HELLBEAST KINGDOM. A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE CREATURES OUTSIDE OF THIS RING." (edited)

The monorail came to a stop, as Charlie pulled him out. She pulled pretty hard, but James was able to keep up with her on foot, as he asked, "Charlie. What's the rush? We have all day."

"You should see how Gluttony's ecosystem is, it has so many interesting creatures, though - like all of hell, they're not soft and cuddly." Charlie explained, excitedly, "Hopefully she'll be here to do a show. It's rare for her to do it with hosting parties."

"Okay, though aren't Daredevil and Keekee soft and cuddly? And also..." James asked, as he pointed out that there were exceptions in Hell from what Charlie was saying. But something got his curiosity, as he asked, "Who's she?"

"Auntie Bee," Charlie answered smiling.

"Who's that," James asked, a bit curious on Charlie's family now.

"What? Curious about my family," Charlie teasingly asked, arching an eyebrow to him, with a half-smirked.

Though he honestly answered, "Always."

"Well... You know how Stolas is like an uncle to me? Well... The other Seven Deadly Sins, in most cases, are like honorary aunts and uncles to me." Charlie said remembering fond times with most of them.

"All of them? Really," James blinked, taking news to all of this. "So... who's your favorite?"

"Auntie Bee and Uncle Ozzy." Charlie answered, "Though with some of the others... you'll have to see for yourself."

The two then arrived to what appeared to be a bubble exhibit of sorts. Namely, they were a bunch of bio domes in the shape of bubbles with horizontal steel railing, and platform roadways to walk among them. There were even plaque titles for what was in each cage. Though James was a bit surprised on some of the creatures. Like a couple of monkeys in trees with spider legs on their backs, multiple eyes, and webbing either coming out of their tails or hands. Some ate banana-like fruits, and some... well, were flinging web balls.

Charlie seeing how he was so entranced by this would, blushing up a storm, try to move in close to lean against him.

Though the two jumped, as something roared up behind them, as they turned to see. It was a giant 12 foot grizzly bear-like creature, only it had armored plating on his backside colored steel grey, and its fur colored black. There was even armor on the paws, and the tail was longer to be like a tiger's, thicker as a dino's and at the tip was a mace.

Charlie blinked looking at it, but then had an idea and held James to her, "Oh my, it's an Ursa-Steel"

James blushed, feeling Charlie press up to him like this. Especially with her DD breasts smooshing on his chest, making him blush, "Eh, Charlie?!"

The Bear then spoke, without moving its lips, "Grr. Welcome to Hellbeast Kingdom!" looking at it more closely, Charlie could see that it wasn't a real hellbeast, but a very convincing costume that resembled the Ursa-Steel.

James sighed, as he felt exhausted after that jump scare. "Starting to get why Mox hates mascots."

"Oh, don't be like that." Charlie playfully chided him, still holding onto him, "Sorry about that, mister. My friend here is new to the park."

"Well, you two have a pleasant day in LuLu World!" And then he cartwheeled on off

Charlie kept James close and asked, "You okay?

"Yeah, um…" James said, as he blushed as he squeaked out nervously, "Thiugh how long are you gonna stay pressed up to me like this?"

Charlie then remembered what she did and blushed before pulling back, "Sorry..."

James blushed, looking away, to hide his embarrassment, "It's okay."

She then asked, "So... on earth... does any of those amusement parks have those rides were you can see things in their natural habitat?"

James thought on it, as he shook his head, "No, not really. Only thing close to that was something in the movies."

"Let's go on that ride then." Charlie said gesturing to the one that looked like a safari ride. his as she looked at him with a big, puppy-eyed, pleading face.

It looked like a bubble machine, but big enough to encase two people in it. And it was self-moving, so all the couple had to do was sit in it. James smirked as he held her hand, "Okay. This is gonna be fun."

They would head in line, especially since there person who scanned them would gesture to a line that barely had anyone standing in it where they got to the front via the private line and the demon spoke to them going over the safety rules and how to operate the machine in question.

Charlie, not seeing these before was curious, "Huh... they changed it..."

"Really? What hcanged," James asked, looking around and wondering what Charlie meant

"We use to go on these train-like truck-things connecting seats like a train and it's carts... I guess this changed..." She said before being lead to a seat.

James sat next to her... which seemed more intimate for the two, as they were slid into each others' side, making them blush. James looked in front, as he went crimson on his cheeks, "Guess they turned this for couples then."

"Or to lower the cost and ensure that it's not a slaughter..." Charlie added, blushign as well.

"Yeah," James said, looking away, both a bit embarrassed as the ride moved on. (edited)

The two then entered the bubble, as they sat down, with the door closing and magically sealing up like it wasn't there at all. It then proceeded to move forward onto the tour.

The bubble the went and entered the front of the long line of cars behind the driver as he spoke into his mic, "Welcome ladies and demons to your safari ride. can I get a 'Yehaa!'?"

All of them did so while Charlie seemed the most excited as she practically blurted, "YEHAA!"

this drew the attention of everyone there.

James blushed from embarrassment and looked away, trying to avoid eye contact. It was just one of those times that Charlie could be a bit... too enthusiastic.

"Well it seems our own Hellish princess is excited." The driver said having a silent pleasure at seeing how embarrassed the imp next to her was before he starts driving, "And we're off. as usual please keep all your limbs inside the safety of the vehicle AND make anyone who is caught with weapons here, especially sinners, for any use will be automatically left to be part of the food chain."

The driver and some of the demons behind the couple laugh at the dark humor.

Though James felt embarrassed by this, and kind of avoided any eye contact as best he could.

Charlie was even more embarrassed before the driver, "As you can see, well those of you who are able to go to Gluttony, this jungle like terrain is home to many of Hell's menagerie of creatures known to humans in myths like many of the Yokai or even the Bestial versions of our own Hellhounds, the Grimhounds. He then looked ot the side and said, stopping the truck for a bit, "Look to your left everyone, there's two of the Grimhounds now."

James looked to see what they were, as they were now in a forest-like bio-dome exhibit.

It was a mixture of a forest and a jungle as two wolf like creatures, similar to the adults he had seen in Wrath standing watch looking at them as they were as black as ink with long hair and red irises, and a bone white horn on their foreheads, not conial like a demon's but pointed.

"Whoa..." James blinked. "They look almost like Cerberus Wolves. It must be a differentiation of species."

Their burning red eyes glanced at them while a growl from behind them made the two guards turn to where the alpha with a longer horn on their head was eating a carcass.

"Dang," James half-smirked. "It's like we're in Jurassic World, and I'm seeing a T-Rex for the first time." But then thought on it, as he mused, "I wonder if that makes Daredevil's species similar to Raptors?"

"You'd be surprise." Charlie whispered, while the demon, talking through the mic said, "These two are sentries protecting the alpha and his mate while they eat today's meal. You can tell which is the alpha because of the horn on his head. Unlike the Cerberus Wolves which are off limits by the Queen of Gluttony, these Grimmhounds focus their diet on freshly dead corpses and souls to feed and used to be the scourge of the British Isles when they used their horns to enter Earth to find something to eat. beacuse of their attraction to dead bodies and the smell of sulfur, humans believe that they are a sign of the person who spot's a Grimmhound were going to die."

James blinked on this, as he realized it, "Whoa. Then these guys are where the stories of Hellhounds came from. They just didn't figure hellhounds were similar to werewolves than giant horned hounds."

One of the sentries heard him and stared, growling at him before turning away and flicked its tail at him before going to have its share.

Charlie went wide eye on that, as did James who asked, "Can they understand us?"

"Oh yeah, I may have forgotten..." The Demon said, "These and the Cerberus Wolves are very intelligent creatures, similarly to those things humans had before most of us regular demons were born. they are able to understand our language better than we can them, that is why those who go to feed or check on them are usually Hellhound staff members."

"Huh. That's news to me," James blinked, as he got a better understanding.

At least he got how DD barked in a way that seemed like he was talking.

the truck continued on as they said, as the region became more humid while close to a body of water, "Here is the natural home to some of our amphibious samples, Such as the Ammit."

"Ammit," James asked, but looked to Charlie, and asked, "Say, where are there any aquatic areas here in Pride?"

"You'll find out." Charlie hinted smiling knowingly at him while they saw a creature from hell, looking like a horned Hippo going to get a drink.

The hippo goes sipping into the water.

And out of its back a blowhole shot out hot steam. James went wide eyed at that, "That's new."

"As you can see ladies and gentlemen, the Scoldpo is taking it's daily practice of sipping in the water, as it uses the blowhole on it's back to not only keep itself moist in these hot times but also to push away predators who try to attack from it's blindspot." The demon explained, gesturing for them all to be silent as they watched. James can spot something that resembled a tree log floating in the water drifting closer to the edge where the Scoldpo was getting it' drink, "But wait... what's that?"

When it got close the water erupted as the log was really a large alligator head snapping it's mouth on at the hellish hippo. only for one of the Scoldpo's horns. keeping the mouth wide. Things looked pretty evenly matched to James before he saw more of the creature even as the demon gleefully said, "And the Ammit strikes as it always has on it's rival! Will it finally have a taste of it's stubborn prey or will it be sent back with it's tail between it's beary legs!?"

the Ammit kept trying bite through the horns only for the Scoldpo to remain undetered, things changed as the Ammit seemed to have pushed against it even as the heavy brute was being pushed back. Soon James saw why as the Ammit was not pure alligator but looked like a fusion of reptile and mammal like in the old myth books, it's really hard to tell because of how he can't see the difference between the skin and the scales as it swiped at the Scoldpo with it's lion-fine claws.

"These big fellas were a real pain in Ancient Egypt on earth before they were brought back by the Queen herself to keep the souls from being devoured." The demon commented as the mane flared a bit before it was shot back from a blast of water from the Scoldpo's blow hole.

James blinked at that, "Whoa…"

It swam past them before James could probably see it shift its eye on the two of them before it swam off with it's pod.

Charlie stared n amazement as she said, "Isn't it amazing?"

"It sure is," James nodded, but then asked, "Is that...?" But then shook his head, as he said, "Nah, that's not Leviathan. They're a Sin, not a wildlife."

"Technically a demon. The sins are a title." Charlie corrected before sitting closer to him.

"Figured they would be," James shrugged. But then blinked, as he looked to her, noticing that she scooched a bit closer, almost wanting to lean on him. Confused and clueless as to what she was doing, he blushed and asked, "Charlie?"

"Isn't it romantic?" Charlie asked, smiling as they watch the sea-life around them. They continued to enjoy this calm ride as their bubble seemed to stick close to the lighted areas where they can see fish and non-aggressive versions of Earth's sea-creatures are swimming around them. There were also many creatures that James thought would only exist in imagination or mythology. Especially by how some of them did not appear as they did in the books like certain octopi, Squid or hellish versions of Sea mammals. And along the way Charlie smiled, "I loved this part of the journey, shows us how things are different down in the seas instead of on land."

Unconsciously nuzzling into James, looking so relaxed and happy than James' seen the princess since they met.

James noticed it from her, and smiled as he looked away, "It sure is." Only he meant more of the romantic than the scenery.

Charlie blinked before glancing at him, blushing in a deep rosy color. her heart was beating rather quickly.

After the Ride

They made to the other side and took the other safari before making it to the gate as the couples or groups continued on their way. Charlie was smiling, spinning on her heel and asked, "Wasn't that so much fun!?"

James chuckled at seeing g Charlie like this and agreed, "Yeah, it was." He sighed as he said, "I think my mom would have loved to see this ride."

"I'm sure, especially with all the creatures here." Charlie assured him before looking at the time, "Shame that none of the animals in Hell are cuddly..."

She then takes out the map and said, while walking, "OOooo Luciwood Studio's got a new ride based on those Stars-War movies someone mentioned at the hotel."

"Really? How'd they manage that," James asked. But the argued, "Wait. Daredevil's cuddly."

"Oh definitely." Charlie corrected, before they heard a cry and saw some of the Hellbeast Kingdom staff, chasing after a Ink Black bird of prey creature flying towards them cawing. One of them called, "Someone stop that bird! It escaped from the Birdcage!"

It was then racing towards them talons out and ready to strike as it seemed to be divebombing at the two.

Charlie almost flinched but James got in front of her, arms out as he called out to the bird beast, "Whoa whoa!" It stopped as it flapped in place to stop nearly six inches from him. It landed on its claw feet as it attempted to bob and weave for Charlie. "Whoa, stop going for her," James loudly but calmly called out, bobbing to the bird's direction, blocking its attempts to go after Charlie. "Easy, there," James said, as the bird cawed out, while the staff readied lasso poles and tranq guns. But James looked ot them, and shook his head, telling them silently not to interfere on this. They almost tried to go in, but James looked to the bird, as its cawing was louder as he said, "Easy there," holding his hands up as he calmly told the bird beast, "Easy..."

For a moment the bird stopped, as its rage left its eyes, and blinked, seeing the boy simply calm him down. Once James saw it calming down, he pulled something from behind, to which everyone thought was a weapon... only to pull out what appeared to be a granola bar.

The bird of prey looked at it suspiciously before they heard a female voice shout, "Wait, stop! That's my bird!"

The two would see a succubus running towards them wearing Lu Lu World uniform as the Bird calmed down seeing her as she said, out of breath, "We were practicing before someone left the door open and he flew out. I almost got him before someone else spotted him and set the alarm."

The other Staff member sighed, "What were you-a thinking? You know this sort of bird doesn't leave the Birdcage for anything."

"I know boss, sorry." Merie said as she stood up then approached James and his date, "I'm so sorry, I hope he didn't hurt either of you."

"Oh no, he didn't," James said, as he assured the succubus, "I think he was just freaking out, or that Charlie's hair would make good additions for the nest. Which I'm just guessing the latter, mostly because any birds of his species or make would love shiny stuff."

She held her arm out for James to let go for him to fly back to her.

And he did, as he flew over and gently landed on her arm, as James said, "I'm sorry if he seemed offended or belittled. I was only calming him down the best I could." He held up the granola bar, "Kind of a peace offering."

"And you always carry granola bars with you for birds," the succubus asked, smirking.

"Nah, mostly as an emergency snack," James admitted.

"Unfortunately, he hates Granola bars. But I'm sure he appreciates it." She then pets the bird at the back of its neck before it relaxed, "Thanks for your help. and I'm sorry if this caused you both any problems."

While glancing at Charlie, but Charlie felt like something familiar was about the succubus, but couldn't quite place it even as the Sucucbus said, "I'm Merie. I'm one of the Bird trainers here, just hired this past Month."

The bird cawed, annoyed, before Merie giggled, "This is Diaviel, he's new too, but came a week after arrived."

James smiled, as he waved to Diaviel, "Nice to meet you, Diaviel." He then stuck his hand out to Merie, "James Dante. And thanks."

Merie smiled back shaking James' hand.

"Charlie." Charlie said while reaching to pet Diaviel before the bird turned at her, with it's eyes fixated on her suspiciously before Merie said, "Diaviel." The bird winced before looking apologetically to Merie and lowered it's head for Charlie to pet him.

Charlie gently reached out, and petted with the feathers. Diaviel didn't bite back, as he seemed to take a liking to the princess's touch, though James asked Merie, "So he's with you most of the time?"

"It's part of the process for the trainer and the bird to bond together." Merie stated.

"So he stays with you," James asked, which Merie nodded, as he smiled, "Cool. Maybe after today, we could talk and compare notes. I have a Cerberus Wolf named Daredevil; maybe I can pick up some pointers later."

"Really? that's amazing." Before more staff workers came and one pretty hellhound (if it's possible for him to tell), said, "You actually partnered with a Cerberus Wolf? How did you accomplish it?"

"Oh well, it wasn't all that easy at first," James said, as he casually spoke with them, "He was a bit wary around me most of the time, due to him being hunted by poachers."

Charlie began to get angry while seeing how many were hanging around him. Her eyes becoming more demonic, while her horns sprout from her head. Having enough Charlie pushed her way through and said, grabbing him roughly by the shoulder, "James, We should go. Like fucking now..."

Merie giggled watching this.

James blinked, as he looked to her, not frightened of her appearance, as he shrugged, "What? I was just telling them how DD and I met."

"Another example how innocent you are." Charlie said feeling better before she calmed down enough before he exclaimed, excitedly, "Let's hurry back before it's too late!"

And continued to lead him about while Merie waved after them.

Once the couple left Merie, after apologizing to her superior, turned to walk Diaviel back to the Bird Cage.

THey kept walking before the Succubus ducked into a back passage for staff members only and sighed. She then looked at Diaviel and told him, "THat was too close. You should have been more careful Diaval."

The bird looked up and moved it's beak, only instead of the usual bird cry, words came out, "Apologies, my mistress. I felt the presence of our prey and I went towards it. I had no idea it would lead me to the princess and her mate."

Merie sighed as she lightly bopped her fist into his head, "I told you about him, he's the one that I met on Earth. And he's a... unique case."

"Yes, my mistress..." Diaval accepted before he flew from her arm to her shoulder and stated, "Though before my sidetrack, I think you should know that I did spot our current prey making his move on his host. It's back in the main entrance of the park."

Merie sighed, "Great... so we got distracted by One for the one when should worry about the most right now..."

As she walked her formed changed, going from the Succubus, to She-demon and grew to the height of 6'7ft. Her body went from slim to a muscular tone which was similar to that of a sexy Amazon build, her chest surged out to an amazing pair of DD size. Her once Olive hair changed into a snow White with a black streak in it, along with Her hair white made into a mane of hair to differentiate itself against her body, and went from the ponytail to break off and go all the way down to her feet. Her skin changed completely to gray and her eyes turned black With yellow irises.

The more interesting changes were that she grew a small pair of horns sticking out of her head, her fingernails became slightly larger and claw-like, and her canines were more elongated like fangs.

Her outfit changed as well and became an outfit that appeared to have been created to utilize a mysterious jet-black power of darkness that consists of A black two-piece outfit consisting of a rather tight and low-cut sports bra and a V bikini bottom, bearing her midriff for all to see. There was also a matching-pattern long fingerless gloves with fur cuff at the end, and a grey fur-collared black long coat with the tail-coat being white. On her belt was a strange decor that looked like a talisman with a skull face on the front.

Her hiking boots became a pair of Leather stockings that seamlessly roll into her V bikini bottom. With cuffs on them as with the gloves and the coat. Running a hand through her hair, Merie then said in a more confident but lustful tone, "We need to hurry back to the Entrance before it's too late... Before he makes his presence known."

Diaval lowered his head and stated, "Yes, Mistress Meredith."

Meanwhile

Charlie kept pulling James away from the scene. Though this was about fifteen minutes ago. Although they made good track, Charlie didn't let go of James, let alone stopped moving. It seemed for Charlie, there was much going on in her head. And it was of a lot considering the scene with James moments ago, that she was starting to innerly become a mixture of panic and jealously.

SHe did not want this date to be ruined by James' connection to Daredevil - the adorable pup, to make others want to intrude into the two's private time. another reason for the panic for the panic, was that she had noticed that while walking about James had been looking at the different shops and stalls with a look in his eyes that he wanted to work instead of enjoy after all that he's done for her... Charlie doesn't understand why, why does he feel like he should work instead of enjoying himself? Did she do something wrong? Is being here too boring for him?

"Um, Charlie? How far are we walking," James asked, still being pulled by her.

"We're not stopping until we got abck on the monorail." Charlie said with a determined but strained expression on her face.

"Charlie," James tried to say, stopping in their tracks, as Charlie almost stumbled, "You're being a bit... out of character."

Charlie slowly stopping, does everything in her power to keep from breaking down, especially in public and asked, "Are you not happy here?"

"Wait what?" James asked, arching an eyebrow.

"I noticed you looking at the stores or trying to work instead of having fun." CHarlie pointed out, "And that was before we got on the Safari Ride."

James blinked, "Huh? I don't know what you mean. About that last one, I mean."

"Ever since we arrived you went to one of the stores here to work especially after you heard about them being understaffed." Charlie pointed out, reminded him of him going to that giftshop store at the Main site of the Apple Kingdom.

James paled at that, as his eyes shrunk, 'Shit, I made it too obvious.' He then took a breath and shrugged, smiling, "What can I say? I didn't wanna leave anyone hanging."

"You might not have noticed but I did see you seeing or trying to find a job since we missed the performance at Lustfantasy Land and after we arrived at Hellbeast Kingdom." Charlie added, still upset.

James sweatdropped, "I guess I can't help myself in trying to find outside work."

That, however, and unfortunately, had the opposite reaction from his date as he can see flames erupting from around her - whether they were methodical or Literal flames - James would not want to find out, especially since he knows who his date is. Charlie's eyes narrowed as she looked at him just as the Monorail came. She then turned to face it as the doors open, "Just humor me with the show and if you still feel like work's more important. I won't stop you..."

THere was no anger, no frustration, or even fear. It's as if she was disappointed in his decision and felt rejected at the same time. She entered the monorail with the bodylanguage that showed how dejected she felt by this.

James sighed, and sympathetically looked a bit hurt at himself for what he did. He nodded, "Okay." And was about to go with her... utnil a rushing crowd ran right in, separating the two, as James was unable to board the monorail.

Charlie looked back surprised, "James!"

"Charlie," he called out, just as the doors closed, with the monorail taking Charlie away from him.

"OH shit!" James swore seeing the train taking his date away.

He sighed, as he rubbed his forehead, groaning, "I gotta find her." But then spotted the gift shop nearby. "But first." And then bolted towards it

While on the monorail CHarlie sighed and sat down on an empty seat a hand ot hear head.

She graoned as she pouted, "Gaw! This date has gone to shambles!" She calmed down a bit, as she doubted herself, "But then again... "

"He sure seemed to have more fun with the animals than with me..." She admitted sadly... She then remembered her first date with her ex and... 'fondly' remembered how that first date went.

And then back in Wrath when James was happier on the farm.

Charlie blinked, "Is he... happier without me?"

"Excuse me, miss?"

Charlie turned a bit to the source of the voice to see who it was. It was a rather dashing, yet feminine-looking, scale green Sinner Demon with scales on the cheeks, pointed elf-like ears, and reptilian yellow eyes, with gorgeous blonde hair combed to the right. Their figure was slim and tall, but mostly conceled within a dark brown jacket, had black pants on with black dress shoes with back high heels, as the toes front looked like dragon claws. They had a long serpent-like tail, and their hands were green scaled with black claws on them.

They smiled,a s they said, "You seem a bit.. saddened."

"Oh, it's... nothing... Just had some trouble with my friend." Charlie assured the sinner, but doing such a bad job doing that.

"Seems a bit more than just trouble," He said, as he leaned over, kneeling down to her, "If you'd like, you could talk about it more. Maybe even enjoy the company of a stranger?"

Charlie looked at the sinner and asked, "Are you... being serious?"

"You don know who I am right?" Charlie asked feeling like this sinner's trying to be a player with her but after all her teaching from her parents AND what happened this Halloween, she's not taking any chance.

"Not really. But I see a pretty young damsel in need of some company and an ear she can speak her troubles to," the fellow smiled, "If you'd like, at least."

Charlie, still on guard, would slide over a bit and said, "I supposed that we can chat, as long as you keep your claws and tail where I can see them."

Meanwhile

Gift Shop

James knew he had to try and look for Charlie, but at the moment, there had to be something done. He was currently scowering over and over the display cases. His face was frantic and full of panic, as he saw thorugh the jewelry cases, of which the prices were all obscene. What he was looking for, wasn't there. And all his frantic searching wasn't doing wonders for the Imp clerk who was at the register, who looked in a mix of annoyed, exhaustion, and about ready to snap, as his left eye was throbbing and twitching at this.

"It's not here," James paled, as he looked around, and at the clerk, "Sir! There was a pendant of a snake wrapped around a ruby apple. What happened?"

"I keep telling for the..." the clerk said, as he calmly stated. Only to blow up, as he shouted, "50TH TIME!" And calmed himself, as he sighed, "Someone already bought it." He then pointed to the other stuff, "We've got other things like earrings."

"I've never seen her ears before," James argued.

"Ankle bracelets."

"She never shows off her ankles!"

"Nipple pearcings."

"SHE'S NOT LIKE THAT, YOU PERV!" James shot out angrily, his dragon features flaring up.

The clerk sighed, "Ugh, Okay, maybe you'd like to see our fancy engagement rings..."

"Okay, that is way too soon. And I'm not going to be pushy on this," James glared at him, but then grunted, as he hunched over, "UGH!"

The clerk asked, "Hey, uh... you okay?"

"Yeah, just... Mph! Minor back aches," James twitched a bit.

The clerk shrugged, "Must be all that stress you're going through." But then got annoyed again, as he asked, "Look, man. You gonna buy something already or not?"

James sighed, as he was going to have to pick out something fast. But then paled as he blinked, "Oh shit. I forgot my wallet."

ARF!

James looked behind him, and believe it or not, much to his shock... it was Daredevil with hsi wallet and savings bag with it. The Sinner Demon knelt down as he petted him.

"Daredevil? What are you doing here," James asked, half smirking at this. But then noticed his essentionals, as he gently took them, "My wallet? And Savings Bag? How'd you find these?"

Daredevil thought on it, and remember the events that led to that moment.

1 Hour Earlier

Daredevil was sound asleep on James's bed, not noticing swift and speeding cleaning going on in the room. But then he blinked, as he saw Niffty cleaning around James's stuff, but then stopped, as she saw a bag, "What? Why isn't he tossing this stuff?" Not realizing she had stumbled onto James's savings from IMP. Or that in her speed cleaning she completely wiped away the messges saying not to touch the savings. "Oh well, I'll toss this.." Niffty said, as she took the bag... but then stopped as she heard her tummy rumbling, "AFter a bathroom break." And zipped off to the bathroom.

Daredevil shot up, as he saw what had transpired. If there was any safe way to get that money to stop being thrown, it was to get it to James fast. Luckily, he overheard Vaggie say something about a place called Lu Lu World, so that would be a good spot to find him. Picking up the scent would be easy. He hopped off hte bed, narrowly making his way to the bag with ease across the sea of cleaning tools and fluids. He stopped near the fist-sized bag, and gently leaned over, and bit on the top to grab it. He then sprinted out of there, but not before he heard the skittering of feet. He stopped in his tracks to see Niffty right behind him... with a knife in hand, and that insane look in her eye when she saw bugs.

Daredevil then started running his teeth clutching the savings.

Niffty chuckled, "No mess-making today, puppy." And sprinted after him.

Daredevil bolted for the stairway, and went down, but Niffty was after him. But not before she tripped, and stumbled on the stairs. She grabbed the carpet, with which balled her up as she rolled with it, making a mass of a big ball coming after Daredevil, who reached the bottom, and ran for the right. Though he was lucky to dodge it, Sir Pentious wasn't so fortunate, as he was send spiraling with Niffty and teh carpet ball down the hallway.

Daredevil sprinted through the barway, dodging and jumping over bottles, and Husk, as he was aiming for the front door. Dan, in a comical fashion, pulled out a dart gun, as he fired after Daredevil, with leaving a trail of suction cup darts after his trail. Though as he bolted, he spotted Vaggie in the way in front of him, possibly stopping him from going after James in case this ruined Charlie's date.

Clint and Bruce came running shouting (Well Dan shouted), "I GOT IM! I GOT IM!"

Before the two crashed into Vaggie.

Daredevil jumped on the heap that they were, and Niffty shot out to stab him. Only for him to bite on teh ceiling fan, as he twirled out of the way, with Niffty crashing into a table, as Daredevil bolted for the door. Alastor saw him head for it, as he snapped hsi fingers. Shadows began to slither up to the doorway to bolt it up... only for Daredevil to go Beast Mode and smash through, as Daredevil bolted for where the scent of James led him to. But he spotted a bus nearby showing it was heading to Lu Lu World. He bolted for it as it began to drive off, and got in the back, as he turned to see the Shadow Demons Alastor would use, coming after him. Though they were unable to deep up, as Daredevil waved with his front left paw. The Shadow Demons all stopped and shouted incoherently while waving tools like spears.

Present

James blinked at that, as he said, "Wow. You have the craziest adventures when I'm not around." But then asked, "But wait, how'd you find my wallet?"

Daredevil pointed at the ground nearly five feet from the door, as James realized, "Ooooh, it fell out of my pocket." He then slouched as he sighed, "I need to get a chain for that."

Daredevil whimpered looking at him nuzzling his head to his partner's knee.

"That's all riveting, but are you gonna buy anything now," the clerk said, getting annoyed by all this.

James sighed, "Yeah, I think I have an idea." But then Daredevil whimpered as he barked out lout, pointing outside. James looked at the monorail, and remembered that Charlie was on it. But then realized, from the tone and volume of DD's barking, it meant one thing: Charlie was in danger. "Okay, I'm gonna find Charlie," James said, as he put Daredevil on teh counter, with the wallet and money, "Daredevil. POint to the Clerk the item I was gonna purchase." He then whispered in the pup's ear on what it was. And then looked to the Clerk, "Listen to him, he's a lot smarter than you think, and he'll pay the exact amount." And then bolted out of there.

DD looked at the Clerk, expecting the clerk to do that even as the demon asked, "Are you fucking serious? No way in Actual Hell I'm gonna-"

That changed as soon as DD assumed his full Beast form and growled furiously at the Clerk who gulped and said, "C-Certainly... Mr. Wolf. Please don't eat me..."

Outside, James was looking to where the Monorail was, but knew sprinting wouldn't be enough. He knew he was strong and fast now, but not even to go after a magical-eletro-powered train. Suddenly, hsi back began to warble and hunch over, as he fell to his knees, "OH God! Back pains! My back, Argh, what is this?!"

Though for everyone around to see, two mighty shapes shot out of his back.

Moments Ago

Back on the Monorail

Charlie is seen with her new 'friend' as he said "Must be tough being with a A-hole who doesn't appreciate you thinking about him."

"What? No, James isnt' anything like that," Charlie defended, but sighed, as she slouched, "I'm sure he had something planned for our date, but as usual, I had to step on his plans." She smiled softly, as she said, "Probably had this dorky idea of seeing a movie or having coffee together. But honestly, that's really sweet at the same time." But then she smacked her forehead, "Argh, of course. This was meant for him to woo me over. Not the other way around. I mean, yeah it was..." but then remembered the ride, "But he did have fun on it."

"If you're really the Princess of Hell then why haven't you, idk put some authority to make sure that's what it is?" Her friend asked, concerned about this 'deniel' she seems to be in.

"I guess I was being too jealous of him getting the attention of those ladies," Charlie said, realizing her mistake, "And I didn't realize he was just talking with them." Charlie sighed, as she made a mistake, "And knowing him he would have apologized and said we were going on a date. Ugh, I rushed too much in this." She then said, "And I'm not the Princess of Hell, I'm just Charlie today." She then smiled, as she said, "And I'm going to find James and continue this date, while ending with..." But then her hand was grabbed by her friend, as she blinked, "Eh... what are you doing?"

"Why. Proving my point." He said as he leaned in.

Charlie pushed him away, as she didn't want this, "Hey, I'm on a date. And I'm not even sure you're an improvement over him."

The demon in question kept his grip on her as he said, "THe princess of Hell not getting the point of why such things exist in the first place.

He hten forced her down on the seats, while the car they were in was empty, as he was on top of her, and smiled, "I've had my eye on you since the broacast on that day for your Hotel, Princess. And since the Extermination is coming faster, I figure... it's high time I do what I wanted. And taking you is one of those things."

He then hissed, his eyes becoming snake likey, as though he was going full demon, "Essspeccciially since those damned Angels might want to ruin in before you can make any head way."

Charlie tried to fight back, as she asked, "And that's what you want? To have me in bed?"

He smirked, as he smiled, "I'm not greedy for nothing. I want it all: Money, valuables, women, beauty. I want all of this, and you dear princess are on top of the list." He then went and his tongue extend over to lap over her face as he whispered, "And Compared to everything elssse in thissss park... you're the puressst of Gold here."

Charlie resisted as much as she could before shouting, "JAMES!"

"CHARLIE!" James called out, getting the two's attention.

Flying as fast as seen, James was flying fast at them... while having two large red wings with a claw at the tip of the top wing, and black membranes on the inside. He bulleted right through the train, as he flew upward, with Charlie in his arms.

The demon stared, "You... how the Fuck do you have wings!?"

But he was flying too high up, as he still held onto Charlie. He stopped a bit, as he looked to her, hsi wings flapping as they were hovering in the air, "You okay, Charlie?"

Charlie sniffled before she saw his wings and stared, "You... you have wings..."

"Yeah, I was getting major back pains while trying to get an apology gift. Guess this was what was happening," James half smirked, but then said seriously, "Charlie, I was sorry earlier. I wasn't trying to flirt. It just seemed really nice to have someone asking how I befriended Daredevil. I forgot I was on our date."

She stared at him, before something like burning liquid shot at them coming from the demon that tried to make Charlie his as she aid to her date, "maybe we should talk about this later? And beat the crap out of that guy?"

Suddenly, the same guy was chasing after them, with wings of his own,a s he flew at them. But even with the wings being new, James was shwoing he had great control and flight to them. The opponent frowned, as he snarled, "Damn you! You think you cand outfly me? Drace! The Dragonewt of Hell!?"

"Never heard of ya." James hsot back as he flew faster.

"Damn you," he snarled as he slashed at him, while James still held onto Charlie, "She's mine! Mine! MIIIIINE!"

That made Stop in mid-flight and suddenly swung an arm at the "Dragonewt of Hell", before dropping down, landing on the SInner's chest as James glared down with burning red eyes, "She's not a possession, she's Charlie Morningstar and she's someone I care about alot."

The demon gargled before he hissed angrily glaring at the sinner before him, 'Damnit... Not enough... Need more...'

Charlie though blushed at what James had said, even making her smile and go starry eye at this.

But both were a bit surprised to see what was happening next.

James stared into her eyes before she went and pressed her lips to his.

Drace looked in shock of this, as their fire built up, as he snarled, "DAMN YOU, YOu... YOU MAN!"

James blinked looking at Drace confused.

"Eh wha...?" James asked.

"Yeah, what..." Charlie asked.

Drace shouted, "WHY ARE YOU MEN ALWAYS LIKE THIS!?"

"Um," James said as he and Charlie looked on in confusion, answered, "In case you haven't noticed… you are a man."

Drace flicked his tongue at that and... accidently caused some of 'his' clothes to melt off revealing...

A small chest, thin waist.. and sexy revealing black lingerie. Both went wide in shock as Charlie and James blushed, freaking out as they asked together, "You're a woman!?"

"OF COURSE I AM!" Drace shouted, "You really think I'd do so much for a man!? I hate men!"

James Aberly shrugged as he looked, embarrassed, and admitted, " well, it's just that you do kind of look a bit… mannish for a lady. No offense. Like a anime guy you'd find in a bishoujin manga."

"Shut up!" She shot acid at his direction from her tongue.

James held Charlie tightly, as he bolted upward, dodging them with ease. She kept shooting at them, though with James, he was easily dodging the shots. Charlie was a bit perplexed, as she asked, "How are you doing this so easily? You just got those wings."

"Honestly, I don't know," James admitted, equally confused on this. "It just feels like riding a bike. Only I never rode one before."

Charlie blinked at his words, thinking she heard them before somewhere... but then Drace gets up and screams, "GET BACK HERE YOU FILTHY MAN! CHARLIE'S MINE! SHE DESERVES TO BE AFTRER HOw YOU MADE HER SUFFER!"

"I wasn't trying to make her suffer," James shot out, as he dodged a slash attack from her, holding onto Charlie, as he said, "Why would I do that?"

"It's all you men know!" She shot back flinging acid at him for minutes, James knew that he needs to stop this before it gets worse...

"And you think what you were doing was any better," Charlie shot out. "You tried to rape me!"

"It's a blessing to be with another woman!" She shouted, before shouting, "YOU BELONG TO ME!"

At that she seemed to take an insane look about her and shouted, "MINE! MINE! MINE!"

While a venom green light shined around her body.

James blinked, looking a bit worried, as he asked, "Charlie, is this normal?"

CHarlie shook her head, "No, it isn't... But that's impossible, that's Mam's power..."

Before he could ask who Mam is, the glob of venom shot out was larger than before and flew faster.

It flew past them and hit the wall of the park they were on, causing it to melt. this caused everyone to begin panicking, now more than when the fight started. as the staff and cast members proceeded to lead the patrons out of the park.

"Okay, talking to her is over," James said, as his forearms enlarged, his gnaw opening to stretch out, and his chest and throat were glowing red, as he growled, "We need to stop this crossdressing hypocrite."

Charlie wash oping for another way but seeing how her family's park, one of the one happiest memories of her past and when her family were together being threatened., charlie turned ot him and said, "Let's kick that Misandrist's ass."

James half-smirked at her, "Let's dance."

the sinner yelled at this as she kept spraying venom out at the two as they flew around. As they flew Charlie noticed some metals are more resistant to the venom than most and said, "James, do you see that?" pointing it out.

James looked to see what she was talking about, and nodded, seeing the metals resisting her spit, "Yeah, I get ya. What's the plan?"

"Try and get her to make the metal signs fall around her while I try to get the bell to fall over her." Charlie devised quickly, really hoping this worked, but not gonna forgive Drace for trying... that...

James flew down to set her back on her feet, as he nodded, "Leave it to me." And then bolted fast after Drace, while Charlie stood there, a bit surprised at his speed. But smiled, as seeing him flying, was like seeing a superhero for the first time.

But then zipped back, and asked, "Um.. how are you going to get the bell?"

"I need to borrow your Scythe."

James suddenly pulled out from behind, as he said, "Careful with it. It's super sharp."

Charlie arched an eyebrow, as she asked, "You bring the scythe with you everywhere?"

"More likely it follows me around," James admitted, "I'll explain later." And then flew back to the battle.

He flew fast at Drace, but suddenly flew overhead, as he smiled, "C'mon, Drace! Come and get me!"

Drace snarled shooting venom at his direction, and chasing after him hissing, "Minee..."

He flew her close to the bell, while also dodging them. He got close enough to the signs, as she fired at them, though James dodged in the nick of time. The metal signs didn't melt but the support beams were becoming corroded.

Charlie ran up the steps while doing her best not to drop it or damage anything else

James flew in with Drace following behind, without the dragonewt sinner not noticing

After getting to the big spacious place Drace remained where she was spewing venom around unaware of the danger as she screamed ,"Mine!"

"You need to get that under control," James said, as the trap was about to be sprung.

The insane sinner tilt her head before looking around and saw how the metal signs around her were all about to fall, where she asked, "Mine?"

And then suddenly... CRASH! They all fell atop of her like a heap, as the dust settled with no signs of her shooting out. James landed next to Charlie as his wings folded right back into his back, with only signs of tears in his shirt, as he looked to her, "You really handle that scythe well. You trained to fight?"

"No, I hate fighting. I just swung and it cut the chain holding the bell." Charlie smiled, nervously before the weight of the signs and the bells made the heap fall through the ground.

James and Charlie looked at it, feeling it was a bit overkill. But then James asked, "So... what now?"

"Princess!" Several demons dressed as soldiers or guards came and asked, "Are you unharmed?"

James was suddenly pushed away, crashing into the ground, as the demons and hellspawn surrounded her, frantic over their princess. As James sat up, groaning, Daredevil popped up on his left, with a box in hand. He looked to see him, as he smiled, "Oh cool. You got it." He generously took it, and smiled, petting him, "Thanks, boy."

The guards would continue to fuss over Charlie's safety as James saw them bearing the same mark with an apple in it.

James though wondered if there was anyway possible to get through or to get Charlie's attention. But it seemed that there wasn't much development on it.

Charlie would look around before she said, "please excuse me..."And made her way through them towards James and DD and asked, "Are you two okay?"

"Yeah," James said, lighting up as he saw she didn't forget him. "Look, about me not being fully there..."

DD barked, drawing their attention while having the bag at their feet, tail wagging excitedly.

"Oh yeah," James said, as he held up the box, as he froze a bit. Though he shook hsi head, as he said, "I'm not really good at this stuff, honestly." Charlie looked confused on that, as he said, "Take the box. You'll understand why I've been distracted."

Charlie did so, as she gently took it, and opened the box. She gasped as she was startled to see a small goldent bracelet, shaped like two intertwined serpents, but had in the center of it a ruby jewel shaped like an apple in it.

James blushed, as he smiled, "Sorry. I did want to get you something, since this is our date. And I wanted to give you something to help show I didn't want to take advantage of your hospitality, and..."

He was interrupted by Charlie hugging him tightly to him remaining silent before she said, "This is one of the sweetest, most beautiful gifts I ever recieved."

She then looked into his eyes and said, "I'm so sorry that I didn't understand... I just thought of myself instead of you... but..."

James stopped her, by kissing her nose, as he smiled, "I don't mind. I would have used up all the money I saved from IMP just getting the entrace ticket for the both of us." The two smiled at that, but then he asked, "Still wanna do that LilithxLucifer scene?"

Charlie blinked before seeing how everyone was watching them as well as the stage broken a bit.

James looked at her fading smiling face and asked, "Maybe they'd still do the performance?"

Later On

The two were dejected to see the state of the stage. It was halfway in tatters, as it looked wrecked. Even some of the people were taking snapshots to show Drace's destructive nature on this. Though Charlie looked dejected.

James looked at Charlie cincerned,wanting to do something for her.

James thought on it, and then lit up, as he gently led her to what appeared to be the log on the set. "Sit here for a moment, Charlie," James asked, and then suddenly, shot out his wings. He then flew up like a jet, leaving everyone to see him disappear. Even Daredevil as he sat down, wondering what was going on. Even leaving Charlie confused.

Blinking, Charlie did as he asked, and waited for him.

Suddenly, swooping down, James landed six inches from her as he knelt down. His wings still out but more shading than flapping the area, as he gently took Charlie's hands into his. He looked to her, smiling as if he was happy to have met her. He was reinacting the scene from when Charlie told it. And much to her surprise, she blushed, as she felt like her mother, meeting her father for the first time. That one time, when two souls whom nobody understood... had met one another, and something clicked within them. Having the two fall deeply in love, forming a bond to which no one would have ever guessed happen.

Charlie blushed so much while staring at him and James stared back as a smile grew on their faces.

Daredevil was hiding his face with his ears, but still peaked. Though everyone else that watched were blushing at this too, while a few were taking a few silent pics. Some sending them on Sinsetgram, saying that they were the second coming of Lucifer and Lilith. James then asked, "So... what would you like to do after this?"

"Well, you've already done two out of two for me," Charlie smiled as she looked to him, "What did you have in mind for a closure to the date before we got back?"

James thought on it, as he shrugged, "Sharing a coffee together?"

Charlie went wide eye, reminded on what Vaggie had said earlier, and giggled, as she leaned in to kiss him. She broke the kiss, while blushing and smiling, "I'd like that too."

Up above standing on the highest spire of the castle stood Meredith with Diaval on her shoulder staring down at the scene while focusing on the area where Drace had been brought down, but glared seeing nothing there, not even a smudge to show how she had been supposedly killed from the weight of all that metal form the signs and the bell... but a acid hole. Meaning that her quarry had escaped. She turned away from the scene, smiling though at how Charlie and James' time together. She and her feather friend disappeared in a swirl of flames that originated from her hair and covered them until they vanished.

Later On

Back at the Hotel

Charlie and James arrived back in the hotel in her limo driven by Razzle and Dazzle. When they entered the lobby, the only one still awake or in the lobby was Vaggie who perked up hearing the door and saw them. Going over to Charlie, ignoring James, Vaggie spoke looked at her best friend worried that the date went badly for her. "Charlie," Vaggie said, as she ran up to her, holding her shoulders, as she looked to her friend... and crush, in worry, as she asked, "Charlie. I heard all about the ruckus in Lu Lu World. What happened? Are you hurt?" She then glared furiously, as she asked, "Did Dante screw this up?"

Charlie shook her head, "No, no nothing like that Vaggie." Her face became as red as the spots on her cheeks blushing furiously as she glanced at James,

He stopped midway at the stairs to look back at Charlie, who blushed and smiled at him. Blushing, he smiled back to her silently and waved at her, and then proceeded back upstairs with Daredevil following after.

Vaggie blinked, as Lydia, Summer and Dia walked in to see James going out of sight, but then back at Charlie, who was smiling and blushing. The three of them stared in confusion while Charlie climbed up the steps, not noticing the bracelet around the princess' wrist. Vaggie the looked at the three of them and asked, "What the fuck happened?"

"I'd love to know that as well," Lydia added.

Vaggie then pulled out a radio and spoke into it, "Red-Dildo and M this is Valkyrie, what the shit happened?"

"Eh what?" Red-Dildo asked, acting like he didn't pay attention.

Little did Charlie or James know, was that Vaggie had IMP keep an eye out for Charlie should something go wrong with the date. Though it sounded like Blitz didn't pay attention.

"You and your lil gang were supposed to keep an eye on Charlie -and james- on their date to Lu Lu World." Vaggie snapped, reminding the imp.

There was an argument amongst them until Moxxie spoke up, "Valkyrie this is Opera Phantom. Things are going good. Until another woman came into the picture."

"That prick..." Charlie growled, thinking James made the date worse for Charlie by going after that other woman.

"Well, actually," Moxxie said, "It turns out the woman was after Charlie... because she wanted to force herself on Charlie."

Immediately everything went silent as Lydia knew this was a bad sign as she hurried, pulling Dia and Summer away for their safety, literally diving behind the bar as the one-eyed manager asked, coldly, "Could you... repeat that..."

Though Moxxie had a feeling that he might lose his life if he does.

Moxxie could only gulp out a weak squeak, "I'm not sure I want to."

"Relax Moxxie, I'll tell 'er." Millie said accepting the radio and said, "Some crossdressing bitch tried to jump the princess' bones but James came in all swinging and flying and sent that forked tongue bitch out of dere before the Royal guards got involved."

Lydia plopped out on that as she lit up hearing about James saving the day again. "Really?"

"Yeah, but then the weird thing about it, you one eyed pirate," Blitz said as he finished, "Our red boy wonder there, he sprouted out wings from his back and flew around like a bat out of here."

Vaggie stopped and shocked and said, "but... that's not possible..."

"I know but it happened," Blitz said, but then thought aloud, "Hhmmmmm. Maybe he could give us some eye in the sky shots for our targets if they're hard to find. Maybe get some shots for me of a horse stockade."

Vaggie remained silent before she said, "Thanks for nothing, morons..."

Summer popped up behind Vaggie, as she grabbed her shoulders, making her jump. Though Summer nuzzled her cheek to hers, as she asked, "Say, why are you so nyownd up Neyow? Was it because of Dante getting wings?"

"Sinners don't just grow new body parts like that after arriving... what they appear as is what they got..."

"Well, I didn't have a cat tail when I was alive," Summer asked, "So what's this excuse?"

"You appeared like it. just like how I didn't get my eye back when I came here..." Vaggie said gently brushing the eye-patch, "And most likely that's how it is for the souls that gone to heaven."

"So, what does that mean for Dante," Dia asked, being the one to take Vaggie seriously on.

"I don't know..." Vaggie said, glancing up to where Charlie and James went, worried.

Later that Night

James, who had changed into his pajamas, was pacing in the hallway as he thought about how to talk to Charlie.

Daredevil, was currently sleeping in James's room at the moment, as the Imp-like Sinner Demon was pondering to himself aloud in the hallway, "Nrgh, what am I gonna say to her? What can I say to her?" He then stopped, as he thought aloud, arching an eyebrow, "What is there to say? I managed to salvage the date." But then knelt down, holding his head, groaning, "But what now?"

The door creaked open as Charlie poked her head out, "James?"

James fell face down on the floor, as he groaned, "Hey, Charlie."

"Are you okay?" Charlie asked, opening the door to reveal that she was wearing her pajamas.

James knelt up, as he nodded, "Yeah. I'm okay." But sighed, as he rubbed his head, "Well, I guess I've been in a bit of a rut as to what to say to you after the date."

Charlie looked surprised at this before opening the door, the bracelet around her wrist, asked, "Wanna come in and talk?"

James looked to her in surprise, as he asked, "You sure?"

"We're just talking." Charlie assured him smiling as she opened the door for him to come in.

He slowly got up, and walked in, as she closed the door. He stood there in the room, and then looked to her, asking, "So.. what would you like to talk about?"

It was a spacious room with a table, couch on the side and a queen sized bed, this was the Suite of the princess. Charlie looked and sat on the couch, "Since we're officially part of a relation. I think we should come up with something so no one thinks we're using our relationship to influence our decision that would put ourselves, the people we care about and the Hotel. Ground rules if you want to call them."

Her tone wasn't cold, or harsh, but concerned and also has a underlining tone of sadness as if someone violated it.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it, Charlie. I wouldn't violate anything," James assured her.

Charlie smiled, "From this point on if there's a decision about how to go about the hotel we do like how we were before, talking about it as friends and partners, but if either of us thinks that something is troubling us we should tell each other so we don't face it alone or feel pressured..."

"And we should definitely not do anything that risked our lives or the ones we love." Charlie finished seriously, "That especially means no Deal Making of any kind."

James blinked, "Huh?" But then shrugged, "Eh, why would you think I'd do something that drastic?"

Charlie raised a brow at him, and reminded him, "You left us after what happened on Halloween. As well as try to avoid us."

"Okay, fair enough. But I meant about the..." James said, as he tried to assure her. But then blinked, as he realized, "Ooooh, I almost made that deal with Mr. M. Okay, fair enough."

"Yes him too..." Charlie said looking at him very disappointedly, before she calmed herself down, "That's why we need to not just think about how this may also affect each other and not just who we're trying to help."

James sighed, as he nodded, "Okay."

Charlie looked at him smiling, "Besides everyone would be upset if something happened to you. Especially Lydia, Vaggie, and me."

"And Summer and Dia, obviously," James shrugged. But then was a bit confused, as he asked, "Say, why did we have to talk about this in your room? You know there's an indoor theater in the hotel nobody uses, right?"

"I'd rather not take the chance... especially since well..." Charlie the blushed, face going rosy red again and she said, "I think maybe you'd like to spend the night in this room..."

James went wide eye, as his face burned red, but not of anger. It was sheer embarrassment, as he gulped, "Eh wha...?"

Charlie then became even more red, and little frantic, exclaimed, "No, no, no! No, no, no! I didn't mean that!"

James sighed, as he hunched over, sighing, "Oh good. I have zero experience with that, and I don't want to be lame in the sack for you."

She, more embarrassed now, said softly, "I just meant... we could... share the bed together..."

Embarrassed, James nodded, "That's good."

"Only if you want to..." Charlie added still embarrassed.

James looked at this girl, and thought about it hard. It was true he did care for her, but he also cared for Lydia and Vaggie too. But Charlie... he felt truly attracted to her at this moment. He then took a deep breath and gently let it out, as he looked to her and softly smiled, "I do, Charlie. I do."

She breathed shakily as she stood up, taking James' hand in hers before leading her to her bed.

James took his slippers off, as he slid in bed with her, as she scooted close. It was a good thing he was already in his pajamas too, but Charlie didn't mind. She lay on his left, cuddled up next to him, as he pulled her closer. The looked to each other, as they kissed, and gently nuzzled with one another as they dozed to sleep. It was similar to that night in the Wrath Ring, only now it felt... better.

However...

Hours Ago

Within the Basement section of the Vee Tower, Vergil was sitting at his observational command chair, watching the screens. They were video recordings of the earlier day at Lu Lu World, and all of them were of James Dante. True he gave Summer and Dia to Dante as a means of brokering a peace, and that he wouldn't directly get involved. But that didnt' mean he wasn't through with spying or stalking his rival. And he had yet to get involved just yet.

Though his train of thought would have been interrupted, if he didn't have a strong focus on what he was observing. And at that moment, Velvette was coming down off the elevator, and walked in. Though the She-Succubus operative, Aphra, was trying to stop her as she was behind her, saying, "Miss Velevette, please. Mr. Vergil's very busy, and..."

Velvette grabbed the Succubus by the throat and said, "Shut it, cunt! I need to see him NOW!" before throwing her back and going to the door of where she knows he'd be.

"Velvette, I know you like it rough, just don't be rough with Aphra, okay? I still need my She-Devil operatives," Vergil said, not turning the chair as he was fixated on the screens, his right leg over his left, and his fingers laced together, as he rested his arms on the c

"I don't give a fuck about your lil bitches." She then forced him to turn to face him as she screamed angrily, "I wanna know why the Hell You canceled on OUR lunchon when you got that shitty post from one of yer robo-beetles! What could be so fucking more important than our 'arrangement'!?"

She had screamed that last bit so powerful that his hand was blown back.

He gently cupped her chin, as he gently turned her to the screens, showing events with Dante in them. Past to current events in Hell, as he smirked, "This, Velvette. This is why I had to turn down our lunch together."

"Ugh... him again?" Velvette asked, rolling her eyes annoyed, "Bae, I know you hate getting compared to them but yer turning into Vox and Val with how your obsessing over that imp-boi."

"No, no. I'm not obsessing over hating him, Velvette," Vergil said, as he stood up, holding her little shoulders, as he got behind her to have her see, "I'm focusing on what's going on."

Velvette stares and then her eyes widened into dinner plates before bulging and asked, "Hold up! IS that... did he..." Pointing at him and then the screen that showed James growing wings from his back.

"This was recent," Vergil smirked.

"HOW!? NO ONE'S EVER JUST GREW SHIT LIEK THAT OF THEIR ASS!" Velvette exclaimed.

He then pointed to the other screens, "And here's all this." Velvette looked to see James fighting off Husk, Bladia, and Aphra against him that first day. The Blessed Rope and the artificial Angelic Steel having no effect or burns on him. And then another scene of him getting shot by Striker with the Blessed Tipped Carmine rifle. He then turned to Velvettel as he smirked, "My Possetles have been spying on him nonstop with all these incidents and it's been boggling my mind. He's impervious to Angelic Steel, he's strong as Hell..." looked to the side, as he grumbled, "... no pun intended..." And then lit up, "And from what I've gathered, no Sinner Demon has ever had wings. Feather or otherwise."

"Bae I just said that no one grows wings. What they appear as is what they get." Velvette said showing him the pictures of the cat-sinner with wings on hsi back, "How'd you explain this fossil?"

"I don't know," Vergil chuckled, as he pointed to the screens, "James Dante is an impossibility walking in plain sight. He can't be hurt by Angelic Steel, he can make wings and reverse.." He then looked to her and said, "And I have heard it straight from Carmilla Carmine's mouth that he also was the one who killed those four Exorcists."

"Well that last one's a bit obvi, he got Grimmy's Scythe, duh." Velvette pointed out.

She then stopped and asked, "Who the fuck's this skank?" Meaning the one shooting Venom from her tongue.

"Yes, that's true, but I doubt the scythe is what gives him this edge," Vergil smiled, as he walked passed Velvette to a section of his lab, "James Dante is something else. Entirely!" But then stopped, as he turned to ask, "What skank?"

Velvette pulled his head to the screen she was looking at and showed him the she-sinner shooting venom from her tongue at James while he sees a strange energy emanating around her and growing more visible in the screen.

Vergil blinked at that, and shrugged, "Meh, she's on hold for now. At the moment, thanks to Dante, the Vees will have not only the means to protect Hell. But to conquer it along the way."

Velvette smirked, "If we can get that gothic gardening tool, totally."

Vergil blinked, as he asked, "Huh? The Scythe? Anyone can wield it. But we need a sturdy bitch to wield it. And thanks to Dante... we now have the means to do so." He then turned on the lights, as a chamber was shown attached to the wall. With a figure hidden in the shadows inside of it.

Velvette's eyes became wide again, "Holy... Fuck..."

Next Chapter: Morningstar Cometh
