First chapter of 2025, huh? Apologise if I broke the promise that this would only be a duology and hoped I'd complete writing this chapter. I'm gonna make this up by starting the year off by a dance off.

If you're wondering what I did in the previous chapter, Caboose hijacked it. I still don't know how

Also, I want to thank V Elemecha V for his idea of a Dance Off between Lute and Caboose.

Now then let's get onto the chapter!

Caboose's Guide to make Friends in Hell

Guide Fourteen

Dance Off

Premise: What better way to end the day than to have a dance off with the new friends I made in this Heavenly Resort!?

"Go get him, Danger Tits! Shown him what you can do!"

Lute heard what her Commanding Officer told her. His blessing coursed throughout her body. She knew why, and it was all about this blue idiot! She's going to put this idiotic Sinner in his place. For the first time in her life, she's going to beat him that didn't stem from outright violence or bloodshed. There is no way she'll do that in front of the Winners watching on the sides. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Well, shall we get started?"

"Yes," Caboose nodded as he threw his fedora to the side before disappearing into thin air. "This is going to be interesting! Let's get it on!" He noticed what he said and turned to the…side to look at someone? "Um, that isn't that Merbyn Gay song. And not, I am not being offensive here."

Lute, of course, heard what he commented and was naturally caught off guard. "What are you even talking about?!" Never mind, she is going to ignore that. Right now, she needs to deal with this.

INSERT GENERIC DANCE-OFF MUSIC HERE (A/N: Don't question me. I'm not even bothered to find a specific OST or music.)

Disco lights shined onto the idiot as he began to dance. He did a move set that was toes-in with heels-out twisting steps and tucked each hand that synchronised with his steps. He did that without making any errors. Finishing off his dance, Caboose spun around on one leg before bowing to her. "Now it is your turn, Miss Loot!"

The female Exorcist felt her leader's blessing again. She could tell from this her dance moves would easily mimic what he was doing. In an instant, she made the same move, although hers was smoother, showing her elegance that caught the eyes of every Winner. To top it all off, she motioned her legs to mimic a butterfly's wings.

Caboose ought to dance next. Yet, the blue idiot felt as though she wasn't finished. He was right, as the Female Exorcist did some disco pop moves. She used her arms to twirl her legs clockwise, then finished it by spinning on her head and coming to a stop.

Seeing what she did, the idiot moved around where he stood. He proceeded to lie on the sandy ground before he spun around slowly, which increased in speed. Seriously, how doesn't Caboose feel any dizzy by the amount of spinning he has done?! No matter, he ended his dance by doing a handstand with one arm. Seeing an armoured man no longer being strange by it was a peculiar sight for the Winners.

Lute proceeded to do the same moves as him in a flawless motion. As this happened, she tried her best to act stoic. This had to be the most ridiculous thing she's ever done. However, her commander's blessing did give her a boost. She had a lingering thought as she thought about it. "Just need to have him tired, then we get him and throw him out of Heaven. He's been nothing but a head to all of us today."

Caboose just clapped on as he applauded her move sets. "Good, now do this!" Country music with violins started to play in the background, and he began to dance with his legs. The thought of this song reminded him of a specific red person. "Ah, I wonder how Sarge would feel about this?" He asked himself, unaware that a Winner was dancing on his right. Going side to side, Caboose clapped to finish his move.

Again, what is it with him and these moves!? Lute was used to kick the heads of Sinners during Extermination Days. Adam saw the discomfort on his best fighter's face and knew she would need to have more encouragement. "C'mon, Lute! Just imagine doing this as your job!"

That was right. It felt like she was doing her job here. Only except it didn't involve any bloodshed, which disappointed her, to say the least. But that didn't matter; she needed to win against this Sinful idiot who had only caused nothing but a headache to her and her leader. She has to win!

Not wanting, she enacted on a song. That was stuck in her leader's head for a while.

And It was that one song by the Bee Gees. It wasn't his usual favourite song since the genre wasn't rock-related.

Lute positioned herself with her hands on her hips before the song eventually played. The female proceeded to take a step back to the right. Then, she took a step back and left. She did step back right. She took a pivot quarter turn right on the right before pointing on her toe left and letting out a clap. The female Exorcist repeated the step once again. This time, she stepped to the left before moving to the right. Lute stepped to the left before doing a pivot-quarter spin, ending it by pointing her right toe right and clapping her hands again.

The Winners, who came from the 1970s, immediately recognised the female Angel's dance pattern. "Hey, isn't that…?" One of the Winners was about to speak.

"Hush now! Let her concentrate on those dance moves!" The second reminded me of not wanting to let this angel lose concentration.

After a few minutes of doing a few dance moves, Lute ended this by doing an iconic move set.

Straightening their legs, she pointed upward at the angle to the right with her right index finger and downward angle to the left with the left index finger. The female Exorcist bent her knees while she pointed downward at an angle to the left with her right index finger and brought her left hand upward to her belt buckle. Once that was done, she did that move set twice before coming to a halt.

As this was happening, Caboose looked at Lute and had a thought. She was a good dancer. Too good, to say the least, despite getting buffed by her husband or lover or whatever he is. Seeing as though she was taking the spotlight, and many eyes fell on her, he decided to take this queue to leave while dancing. He needed to head to the bathroom as dancing constantly caused his bladder to burst.

GENERIC DISCO OST ENDS

As he left, Lute finished her dance moves by pointing a finger up in the air before confetti (Yeah, no one knew how Caboose could get them in the first place) scattered on the dance floor. Everyone went silent for a while, taken back by this Angel's dance, which only enhanced her beauty, before letting out their cheer. Even Adam was amazed by this, even though he's blessed his best fighter to win against this blue asshole. "Wooohooo! Fuck yeah! Way to go, Danger Tits! You'd showed him who's boss!"

Lute has never been so proud of her efforts. Even though she hadn't gotten the chance to kill him (which was very unfortunate for her since it would expose the role of the Exorcists to the public, given how much displeasure he was), she was satisfied with what she had done. Still, there was a lingering thought that she was glad she didn't utter. "I got to remind myself to never EVER do something like this again! Even though I am happy that I won, I WON'T partake in that Sinful Idiot's antics ever again!"

"What is going on here!" Now, all the Winners, including Adam and Lute, turned to look at Sera, who seemed to arrive at the party along with Emily. Seraphim said it was unsurprising that a beach party had occurred in the first place, probably because it must have been Caboose who quickly made friends with the winners and immediately hosted a party just for fun.

"Oh, Shit…" The First Human went awkward, knowing the amount of scolding he would receive. "Hey, Sera. It's…um, not what it looks like!"

The Elder Seraphim knew that the First Human didn't throw this beach party, given his taste in music. She already knew who had done it. Still, she couldn't believe he and his Second-in-Command would even participate. "I see that both of you getting acquainted with this Caboose."

"Uh, yeah. We're doing fine." Adam stated, even though that wasn't exactly the right word he was thinking about now. "In fact, he is dancing with Lute…" His eyes trailed to where he once stood, only to find out he had disappeared under their watchful eyes. Again. A very tiresome groan escaped through his metallic lips. "Oh, for fuck's sake, where the fuck did he go!?"

Overhearing her Commander's complaint made Lute walk back towards him and the elder Seraphim. A grim expression was seen on her face. "He must've slipped away while we were distracted."

Adam let out a loud groan, simply so pissed that it happened again. "Oh, for fuck's sake! Just when we had the moment to get him, he somehow avoided us. That slippery fucker!"

Though she was displeased at the First Human's vulgar language, Sera felt this person was still roaming around Heaven. She fixed her gaze on the two Exorcists. "He must still be around. You two—"

"Yeah, we get it!" Adam interrupted, already tired of babysitting Caboose. He turned around and walked away, but not before nudging his shoulder at his best fighter. "C'mon, Lute. Let's go find me. He can't be that far." Lute then nodded before she proceeded to follow him from behind. They moved to ascend to the skies to get a better view of where the idiot had gone.

Once they were a distance away, Sera had to do with the clean-up of the beach. So, she did that in an instance, but not before dismissing the Winners by saying the party was now over. They were disappointed that it ended pretty early. But then again, it died down the moment the dance had ended.

While the elder seraphim cleared the mess, Emily was in her thoughts. Today's events were indeed expected. Never would she quickly be friends with a newly arrived "Winner", even if he saw his short stay as a daycation. Though she was saddened that she couldn't give Caboose a few words before he left, one thing was on her mind.

The cheerful Seraphim wondered if he would ever meet Caboose again. He seemed to be a kind and joyful person, after all, despite having "originated" from Hell. But much work will be done now that he's no longer present.

-Scene Change-

After heading to the bathroom and getting a souvenir from a Heaven Shop, Caboose was now looking for a way to return to his home in Hell. Usually, there'd be a portal that could take him back home. Yet, he hasn't found one, causing him to look everywhere in just ten seconds.

Hours pass, and night(?) has reached the ethereal plane. During those hours wandering throughout Heaven, Caboose somehow found himself outside where a giant hole back to Hell. It surprised him that Hell was that deep, not that he would mind falling down if that could get him back to his home. He took a peak and collected his thoughts on what to do. "My home is right below there. I dunno how much fun it would be falling down. I'm not sure how I'm gonna.

"There you are, you blue fuck-stain!" Caboose turned around and saw Adam and Lute descending from the skies before landing a few feet away. "Don't you know how long it took us to fucking find you!?"

"Oh, hi there, Adelle and Miss Lewd!" Caboose greeted the "Heavenly Couple". "I'm glad that both of you could make it. I'm just about to depart back home." And Lute had that near-overwhelming urge to kill him now that he was outside Heaven.

"For the…" An irritated sigh escaped her nostrils before leering at the idiot (who seemed slightly intimidated). "It's LUTE, you FUCKING Idiotic manchild!" She didn't care if her words had no filter in it. He was getting on her nerves, even though it was never his intention.

"Didn't I just say that, Miss Loot?" Caboose reminded her, even though he completely butchered her name once again.

Lute decided to not make a comment. She was getting a lot of headaches right now, considering how this day went, and for Heaven's sake, she wanted to hit her quarters and sleep for the rest of the day to collect what had transpired. Luckily for her, Adam would speak on her behalf. "So, you're gonna go home by jumping in there."

"Um…" Caboose looked at the First Human before hesitantly looking down at the large hole. "Yeah…about that. Um… see, I'm afraid of what could happen if I land back down on my head and stuff. So, I am just wondering if both of you have any parachutes or something similar like that? I am not sure what…"

"Oh, for the lovin' fuck of God!" Having had enough of this idiot's rambling, Adam decided to do what he was holding back from the rest of the day. He quickly walked behind the idiot, and then…

*THUMP*

"WAAAAHHHH!" Adam kicked Caboose from the back and began descending back into Hell. At this moment, he could turn and saw the Heavenly couple leering at him. Though this moment could be seen when people declared their vengeance, he said his parting words to them instead. "Goodbye, Heavenly Couple! Thank you for the day you've given me! You two are my new best friends, and I will never forget the two of you!" Caboose shouted as he was further away from Heaven now. "You two probably can't hear me, though, because everyone knows there is no safety on a long bungee jump. I am yelling quieter now because I am further away from you..."

Seeing the idiot descending into the bottomless pits of Hell, Adam let out a much-needed groan. "FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKIIIIINNNNGGGG FINALLLY! That dumb fucker is finally gone, and now I feel much better that I was the one that needed to do that." He felt as though his severe headache was getting better now. Whelp, guess he'll just celebrate by drinking a few alcohol bottles.

"You could have killed him right at that moment, Sir!" Lute reminded him, knowing full too well about the possible repercussions. Then again, she would have done the same since it didn't occur in a public space.

"I would have. But it would be better to see that blue fucking dunce suffer in Hell, so I get to fucking kill him on Extermination Day!" Adam had given his reasons for making this choice. Now everything has been settled, he wanted a drink to celebrate this small victory. "C'mon, Miss Danger Tits. Let's go have a drink."

Instead of accepting his offer, Lute yawned as she covered her mouth with her right hand. "I'm going to hit my quarters, Sir. I need to sleep after what happened today."

The First Human let out a small "tch" upon hearing this. He really wanted to do this since she won the dance contest at Caboose's Beach Party. Still, he wondered how the even living fuck was he able to host one that quick!? He stretched his back before looking back at his best fighter. "One. You deserve that, after all. I'll come visit you once I'm done drinking." With that said Adam flapped his golden wings a few times before heading back to the city. Lute decided to head back to the Exorcist's quarters not long after.

-Scene Change-

"No, I'm serious. Get the FUCK OUT!"

Blitzø was in no good mood at this moment, and that was because of many things. He didn't even care if his sudden outburst caused him to receive glares from the visitors still in his meeting room.

First and foremost, it was with the contest with the C.H.E.R.U.B.S to see who had the better influence over their target. This led to an all-out skirmish within a theatre that resulted in Lyle Lipton being crushed by a piano indirectly caused by the three C.H.E.R.U.B.S. They can't complain there.

He can complain aabout thefact Caboose has somehow disappeared under their nose, which caused them to let their guard down. And the imp felt he would need Loona to smell where the idiot had last been seen.

That and how the two Sinners, Loopty and Lipton, entered their office…by bursting into their damaged walls again, and Wally barged in soon after. Moxxie was unfortunately crushed, but that didn't seem to mind any of them. Could it possibly have gone worse?

"COMMMIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG—!"

Now, everyone heard a voice, showing that something or someone was quickly descending towards the sky. Before either Lupty, Lipton, or Wally could open their mouths, they were crushed as Caboose crash-landed on them as if they were cushions for his quick descent. I.M.P immediately recognised the meteor-like object as none other than Caboose, who somehow got back up like nothing had impacted him."

"Uh, dude." Loona casually greeted her missing co-worker, "Did you literally fall from the sky?"

"Yeah…" Caboose nonchalantly answered while slowly nodding his head.

Millie felt relieved that her idiotic co-worker arrived. "Where have you been!? You disappeared in the middle of assassinating our target!"

"Um, yeah. I have a question to ask before answering. How did that go assisting Mr Limb-ton?!" Caboose questioned before hearing a groan below him. He looked at the ground to see a duo, a fatty and a thin man, alongside an imp that was crushed underneath him. "Oh." He realised before grabbing the trio by the collar and tossing them out of the hole. … that's a problem sorted, even though Caboose barely knew either. Whoops. He'll just apologise to them once he gets the chance.

After throwing the three crushed demons out of the hole in the window (all of them are alive, to say the least), Blitzø asked the same question that Millie brought up. "Now, Caboose. Can you tell us where the fuck have you been ever since you disappeared in the middle of our assignment?!"

"Oh, yeah. About that, well, you…" Caboose straightened himself as he looked at I.M.P (Plus Moxxie, who was able to wiggle his way out from the metallic escalate and only received a few cartoonish bruises.) "Since that, I am here, I will tell you all what I did on my daycation within this Heavenly Resort I found myself in…"

Preview: So, after telling my daycation to I.M.P, which they were envious about, I decided to tell Freckles about it. I hope he can answer a burning question that I have?

What a way to start to start the year. Now the question would be, how would I.M.P feel that Caboose ditched work and spent a full day in Heaven and met the Exorcists plus befriending a Seraphim?

I can already tell that they need to speak to him of what he has done. But let's see what happens.

Oh, and to anyone that I offended because of Caboose's comment on using the word 'gay', let me give you more context. He's referring to a singer Marvin Gaye if anyone is wondering. And no, it is not offensive to say the Singer's last name despite being implied to a group of people. Go search him up, he was a real person.

And if none of you know the cultural references I've done, here is the list.
