A Neurodivergent Moth In Hell: Season 1

by HazbinHotelFan16

Summary:

Growing up with Autism wasn't easy for Vaggie, but she managed to deal with it when she was a human

But now how is she going to deal with being a neurodivergent in hell?

Notes:

Now that season 1 is finished, it's time to write autistic!Vaggie in the official show!

Chapter 1: Prologue

The story begins with a book laying on a cushion like a fairytale before opening up, showing a picture of a girl with tanned skin, brown hair, green eyes, and a red bow. "This is a story of a girl named Vagatha Alina Mothra."

The page turns to a picture of Vaggie as a toddler. "When Vagatha was 2 years old, she was diagnosed with a neurological disorder called Autism. While her mother was understanding about it, her father on the other hand was not."

It then changed to a picture of Vaggie's parents, Marco and Elena.

"Her mother view their daughter as a miracle, a flower that bloomed in the harshest desert. But her padre saw her a mistake, a punishment for the sins he made." The page turned to Vaggie both as a child and a young woman.

"Young Vagatha has had a rather hard life growing up in El Salvador. The girl was relentlessly belittled and teased by others that refused to understand her. Students, strangers, and even family members. The only person that Vagatha felt like genuinely loved her was her mami."

"And yet, through it all, Vagatha had a heart that's too big for her body as she cared for others, albit with her occasionally temper shining through."

The book then flipped the page to the paradise known as heaven. "Then, on 2014 at the young age of 20, Vagatha died and flew up to heaven. Because of her fighting spirit, she became a member of the exorcist angels and was renamed Vaggie by Adam, the first man."

"However, despite being one of his best soldiers, Vaggie loathed participating in the exterminating of demons, finding them cruel and unjust. But then, on one Extermination day, everything changed..."

The page shows Vaggie having her eye stabbed and her wings ripped off by Lute. "Vaggie spared a demon child and was kicked out of heaven, being left to bleed out until she was rescued by none other than Princess Charlotte Morningstar."

The book shows Charlie and Vaggie's first meeting before it closes. "And this is where Vaggie's story in hell truly begins..."

Chapter 2: The Radio Demon

Summary:

TW: for non-consentual touching, attempted non-con, cannibalism

~2023, before the pilot~

Vaggie hums as she hangs up posters of the Happy Hotel around Pride City, a pair of headphones were on her ears as she was listening to Owl City.

However, as she was walking down the streets, she didn't notice lustful eyes staring at her. "Heeey baby girl~"

Vaggie paused when she feels someone's disgusting hands touched her shoulder. She grimaced as she took off her headphones and saw a sleazy looking bug demon. "Pretty fucked up a sweet lil thing like you ended up down here~ Ya shop lifted or something?"

Vaggie found herself uncomfortable by this guy. "How old are ya baby girl? 15? 16?" She starts backing up. "I'm 20...um, i need to go..."

She was about to run off when the creep suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Hey now, what's the rush? How's about you and me go have some fun~? I have a bunch of games we can play, they all feel really nice too~"

"Fuck NO!" Vaggie's free hand reached into her pocket and pulls out her dagger, slashing his face and leaving a scar!

"FUCK!" He yelled in pain as Vaggie runs off. "Get back here!" He runs after her.

Vaggie runs as fast as she can. She saw an empty alleyway and hides in it. Right when Vaggie thought she was safe...he grabs her and pins her against the wall. "Got you, baby girl~"

"Get away from me, hijo de puta!!"

"Oh, the fighting is what i like the most~" Vaggie starts to hyperventilate, getting overstimulated. She doesn't like this, she doesn't want this!!

Right when the pervet was about to unzip his pants..."What exactly do you think you're doing?"

That's when they both turned their heads and saw a tall red deer demon coming out of the shadows. The bug demon looks terrified. "The-the Radio Demon!" Vaggie looks confused. 'Radio Demon?'

"You know, i really hate those who can't show a little respect to those of fairier means..." His antlers started to grow, he started getting taller, and voodoo stitches appeared on him as his eyes turned black with red radio dials. "It's rather distasteful...LiKe BaD mEaT!"

Vaggie was dropped to the ground and she immediately hid near a dumpster. She peaks out a bit and her single eye widened and her jaw dropped in horror.

He...was...cannibalising that demon! His teeth were digging into flesh and was eating his organs. Then the deer's eyes turned towards her. Vaggie squeaks in fear and immediately went back to hiding. She covered her ears, trying to block the sounds.

Then, everything went silent. Vaggie nervously looks...and was met face to face with the demon. "Ahh!"

She immediately has her back against the brick wall, shaking breathing too fast. "N-nice demon..." She hesitantly extended her hand and touched his forehead like in Hiccup and Toothless first meeting.

The demon purrs a bit before reverting back to his normal form. He straightened his coat before looking down at her. "You must be more careful when you're out on the streets, my dear." He said before disappearing, leaving Vaggie stunned.

"What the actual fuck?!"

********************************************************

"Welcome back hon!" Charlie smiled when Vaggie came back to the hotel. KeeKee goes over to Vaggie and purrs when she pets him.

Vaggie walks straight over to Charlie. "Babe, i need to ask you something." Charlie blinks. "About what?"

"Charlie...who's the Radio Demon?"

Chapter 3: Overture (Part 1)

~2024, a week after the pilot~

Vaggie sighed as she sat in the hotel library, absentmindly stimming on a pen. It's been a week since Alastor has joined the hotel, and she still hasn't figured him out!

She lets out a groan of annoyance. "Ugh! I can't find a single book about him. Are sinners just too scared to ask him for an interview about who he is, about his life, and what did he do to get so powerful?"

There's so much she wants to ask like why Alastor is the way he is, why he disappeared for seven years and...why did he save her in that alleyway?

"I'll do whatever it takes to find out more about him..." Vaggie promised before closing the book and walked out of the library, only to bump into the same demon she was researching about.

"Eep! Oh! Um. Hey Al."

"Oh, my apologies Vagatha. I didn't notice you were there." He helps her back up. "It's actually a good thing i found you, because i have something to show you and your lady friend!"

"Oh. Great! Um let me fetch her!" Vaggie heads upstairs to her and Charlie's room and found her reading the story of hell.

Even though Vaggie has never personally met Lucifer, she can kind of relate to him. A dreamer that was cast aside by his family because he was different than them...

"Don't worry mom, i'll make you proud." She heard Charlie vow holding a key. Vaggie makes herself known. "Charlie?"

Charlie jumps in surprise. "Oh um hey hun!" Vaggie sat down next to her in concern. "You ok?"

"I'm fine. Just...thinking. Ya'know? Family stuff."

Vaggie could tell which one. "Your...mother?" Her girlfriend nods sadly. Vaggie frowns in concern. "Did you hear back from her?"

"No...but I'm sure she's busy doing something important...for the past...7 years." Charlie gets up and walks to the window, looking over the city. "But, this kingdom was something she really cared about. Something I cared about."

Vaggie stood next to her. "Hey, you're not alone in this. I'm with you all the way." Charlie smiled at Vaggie's support. She giggles as Keekee leaps into her arms.

Vaggie holds Charlie's hand and leads her out of the room. "Alright, come on. Alastor says he has something to show us."

🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑

The girls watch Alastor's commercial for the hotel...yeah, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It's bad. It was very misleading and made fun of them. Alastor turns off the television. "So, what do you think?"

Charlie and Vaggie blankly stare at him until Vaggie spoke up. "I'm sorry. What the FUCK was that?!"

Charlie smiled nervously. "Uh, yeah. One note, Alastor, i mean, first off, thank you so much for making this. But um, maybe the tone is a bit off. We want people to want to come here. This makes it look, um..." She tried to find a way to say it nicely. Vaggie however did not. "Bad. The word you're looking for is bad." She finished bluntly.

Alastor stared at his nails. "Funny. I was going for hilarious."

The moth facepalmed. "Alastor, it didn't explain anything about how we're trying to save demons from Extermination!"

Charlie nodded in agreement. "Vaggie is right, Alastor. The commercial was to let sinners know we are trying to help them.

Alastor twirls his staff around. "Well, my dear. I haven't been active in hell for some time and everyone remembers me from my radio show, the proper medium to express oneself." He then glares at the television with disdain. "But, you insisted on this...noisy picture box advertisement! So i had a little fun with it."

Vaggie glares. "Oh, fun? You had a little fun with it? Well, this is not what we want to represent us!" She stood up on the couch to make herself look more intimidating. To Alastor however, he feels like he's being scolded by a kitten. "When you showed up here, you said you would help us. This is the opposite of helping!"

Suddenly, a hand covered by a hot pink glove raised in the air, catching everyone's attention. "What?"

Angel Dust, Hell's famous adult film star and the hotel's first (and currently only) guest, sat on the other couch. "If your filming a commercial, can i suggest you take advantage of the talented celebrity you have right here?" He gestured to himself.

"Angel, you're a Pornstar." Vaggie drily reminds him as she sat back down on the couch rest.

"A famous porn star!" He corrects her. "I'll have the horniest sinners knocking these walls down to get in."

Charlie smiled nervously. "Angel, i appreciate you wanting to use your special skills to, um, attract folks to the hotel, but i really don't want to exploit you in that way."

Angel waves her off. "Oh, please, baby. This body was made to be exploited. I got the arms, i got the stamina, I got the legs. I got the lung capacity. Oh ho, i got the legs-!"

"You already said that."

"-The gag reflex, the holes, the chest fluff everyone thinks are tits." Angel continues as if Vaggie didn't say anything.

Vaggie had already zoned out while Angel was talking. She tends to do that whenever a conversation starts getting boring to her. She was too busy in her thoughts that she didn't notice Charlie walking off to answer her dads phone call.

She was finally brought back to reality when she heard Angel say "Hey, i have a question. If freaky face over there is so powerful, then why can't he just make people stay here?"

"Oh, trust me. I can~" Alastor smiles in a mischievously creepy way.

"Why do you think i'm here?" The gruff voice of Husk, the hotel's grumpy bartender, spoke up. "You actually think i'd be cleaning bottles and listening to you fucks bitch and moan all the time if he wasn't forcing me?"

As Husk cleans a bottle, Niffty, the hotel's clean obsessed maid, pops up from behind the counter. "I like being forced." She chimed.

"Keep that to yourself, Nif."

Angel smirked. "What? You don't love being here with me, whiskers?"

"Call me Whiskers again and I'll jam that bottle down your throat." Husk threatened.

"Mmm, kinky. Come on, keep talking dirty~" Angel teased. Vaggie sighed as she walks over to him with her hands on her hips. "Angel. Let Husk do his job. And, no, we can't force sinners to stay here. They need to choose to."

Angel looks unamused. "I'm choosing to be here and i think it's all stupid. We're in hell, tiny. That's kind of the end of the road, ain't it?"

'Well, if you think this is dumb, then why are you even here?!' Vaggie felt tempted to blurt out but didn't. "Well, maybe it doesn't have to be. Just because nobody has made it out before doesn't mean it's not possible."

The spider placed his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, whatever means i can keep crashing here rent-free. Crack is expensive."

Vaggie has a deadpan look on her face as she removed his hand on her shoulder. Ugh. Angel's attitude is exactly one of the many reasons why Charlie is only one that knows about her Autism.

Speaking of the Devil's daughter. "Vaggie! Holy shit!" Charlie yelled, making Vaggie jump in surprise. "Ah! What?"

Charlie waves over with an excited look on her face. Vaggie walks over to the hallway. "What's going on?"

Charlie breathes in and out to calm her excitement. "My dad just called, he said that the leader of the Angel Army wants to meet. He asked if i could go instead!"

Vaggie looks confused. Adam wants to meet up? But the angels were already done with the extermination and wouldn't be back for another year!

"But-but the extermination just happened. What could they want this soon after-"

Charlie suddenly started singing. "🎵I can do this! Somehow, i know it! I'll get heaven behind my plans!🎵"

Vaggie puts a hand on her forehead. "Charlie, hold on-"

"🎵 There's just no way i could blow it. Not this once-in-a-lifetime chance!🎵" Charlie sang, dancing into the lobby.

"It's just a meeting." Vaggie reminds her.

"🎵To change their minds, and touch their hearts or...whatever angels have!🎵" Vaggie, who used to be an angel, cringed. "This could be bad..."

"🎵Cheer up, Vaggie! This could be swell! Something tells me thag today will be a Happy Day in Hell!🎵"

Charlie spins Vaggie around and she stood in front of the stairs, slightly dizzy. "Okay, but just don't...sing to them."

Angel, Alastor, Niffty, and KeeKee were standing at the door. "That bitch is halfway down the street!" Angel informed.

"Is she-?

"Oh, she's dancing!"

Vaggie groans, knowing this will not end well. "Uhh, no...!"

She heads outside for some space and climbs onto the pirate ship. She looks out to the city, as if she's calling out to her girlfriend. "🎵Those angels mind are hard to change. They're bloodthirsty and deranged!🎵"

"Why de fuck is she singing to herself?" Angel asked Alastor from down below.

Vaggie narrows her eye. She's going to help Charlie with her goal, and prove to the other angels that she's not a failure! "I'm making a new commercial!"

Chapter 4: Overture (Part 2)

While Charlie is meeting with the angels, Vaggie calls everyone in the lobby. "Okay, so, Charlie is dealing with something very important, so while she's gone, we are making a new commercial. One that represents her vision and what we're doing here. So, we need a camera." She turns to the deer. "Alastor?"

Alastor snapped his fingers and summoned a 1930s camera. "A video camera?"

"Hmmm." Alastor snapped his fingers again and summoned a video camera. Vaggie smiled. "Alright! Let's do this!"

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Vaggie starts by filming Angel and Husk at the bar. "And...action!"

Husk carefully reads his lines on his script, bringing it close to his face. "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel. Can i help you with anything?"

Angel smirked. "I've been a bad boy, and i need a big, strong daddy to put me in my place...on the path to redemption!"

Husk groans. "Well, you've come-"

"Oh, yes!" Angel moaned.

"...To the right place."

Vaggie cringes. "Cut!" She stops recording and lowers the camera. "Okay, Angel, i need you to be less horny if possible. And Husk, can you maybe not have the script in front of your face?"

"I ain't no actor! I can't memorize this shit!" Husk angrily said as he drops the script.

"Well, we could improve this shit, baby cakes~" Angel flirted as he gets close to the bartenders face. "Rrawwr~"

Husk gets irritated and shoves Angel off the counter like an actual cat. "Whoops." He apologized sarcastically before drinking a bottle of alcohol.

"Husk, come on!"

🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋

Vaggie tried again with Niffty. She found her in a hotel room trying to stab a bug. "Stab! Stab! Stab!"

Vaggie gently held Niffty by the shoulders. "Alright, Niffty! Your line is 'We have the cleanest rooms', okay?"

Niffty smiled. "Got it! I'm ready!"

Vaggie aims the camera at the maid. "Action!"

Niffty just blankly stare into space. Vaggie and Angel gave her looks. Angel looks confused, Vaggie looks concerned. "Uhh, cut..."

Niffty snaps out of it and went back to her cheerful self. She giggles. "How was that?"

"Well, Niffty, you actually have to say the line. So let's roll again."

Niffty nodded. "Ok!"

Vaggie aims the camera at her again. "Action!"

Niffty freezes again, leaving Vaggie irritated, as Angel comes close to her face. "You're doing great, Vagina." He whispers.

"Cut!" An annoyed Vaggie yelled before pacing nervously. "Alright, uhh maybe we can try to fix it in post."

"Do you even know what that means?" Angel questioned.

"I'll figure it out, okay?!" Vaggie snapped at him.

🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋

Vaggie sighed as she walks through the hotel hallway. This isn't going the way she hoped...

That's when she came upon Alastor's door which was slightly opened. She peaks inside a little bit and saw Alastor's back facing her.

Vaggie stares at the camera then back at him. This could be a opportunity to see Alastor doing one of his voodoo stuff on camera, which would help with her research...

She aims the camera at him. "And this is Alastor, the radio demon who-"

Alastor looks directly at her then suddenly, video camera glitches violently. Vaggie immediately drops it. "AH!"

"I wouldn't try that, my dear!" Vaggie looks up at Alastor. "This face was made for RaDiO..." His pupils turn to the shape of radio dials. Terrified, Vaggie runs off, abandoning the camera. Alastor picks it up. "Hmm..."

🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋

Vaggie sat alone in the dark empty lobby, holding her childhood plush bunny. Bunny is her comfort item, she's has Bunny when she was 6, and she has been there for her during the harsh parts of her life.

Vaggie sighed sadly. She feels like a failure for not being able to make a good commercial for the hotel. "Oh Bunny, i don't know what to do! Charlie is going to cone back from the meeting any minute to absolutely nothing!"

Suddenly, Alastor appeared. "Seems like you're having a bit of trouble here, hm?" Vaggie tensed up and immediately hides Bunny behind her. "What do you want, Alastor?"

Alastor smirked. "I was wondering if perhaps i can offer my assistance, my dear."

Vaggie looks hesitant. "For my soul?" She curls up in her chair.

Alastor cackled. "Ha! Heavens no. You mustn't always presume i want something in exchange for wanting to help. Not all overlords think alike. Just a simple favor! I do this for you, and you never involve me in this frivolous television nonsense again." Vaggie blinks. What is his deal with TV? Alastor continues. "And, i'll tell you everything you want to know about me."

Her eye widened. She thought deeply of his offer. This could help her with her research on him! Actual information from the source himself! "Okay...deal."

Alastor grinned and goes to shake her hand-"Nope! No shaking hands!" Vaggie said immediately, she's not that gullible!

The overlord shrugs. "Fair enough. Now then!" He snapped his fingers and summoned the others as the hotel turned into a film set with his voodoo minions aa the camera crew.

Vaggie smiled big as she stood up. Everyone's outfit changed into what they wore during Alastor's reprisal in the pilot. "Alright everyone, let's make a fucking commercial!"

Chapter 5: Overture (Part 3)

The camera shows the outside of the hotel when suddenly spanish music can be heard. Vaggie can came into view. "🎵 This is our hotel, a place to redeem sinners! So full of music, a rhythm of its own design!🎵"

She gestured to the others. Angel was blowing a kiss at the camera, Alastor was facing away from the camera, Niffty was blankly staring, and Husk was drinking. "🎵 This is our hotel staff, a perfect constellation! So many stars and everyone gets to shine.🎵"

Now inside the hotel, Vaggie goes over to a family picture of Charlie and her parents. "🎵Whoa! But let's be clear, Charlie runs this show, woah! She opened this place to save you all from angels. There's just a lot you've simply got to know, so...🎵"

She dances outside the hotel. "🎵 Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel! Your last attempt at salvation! Where all the souls are fantastical and magical! I'm part of the Hazbin Hotel!🎵"

Vaggie starts introducing everyone else. "🎵This is our maid Niffty, she keeps everything tidy, and make sure we have the cleanest rooms! Our concierge Husk, the best person to talk to and have the best drinks in hell.🎵" She holds a bottle of liquor, she may not approve of having a bar but she knows it might interest demons.

"🎵 This is Angel Dust, our first guest! But between you and me, he's kind of a primmadomma.🎵" Angel heard that and gives her the middle finger as she smirked smugly.

"🎵 And Alastor, he's makes everything happened! That's everyone in the Hazbin Hotel! I'm glad to be part of the Hazbin Hotel! Adios!🎵"

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Charlie returned back from the meeting. Vaggie runs up to her and hugs her. "Charlie! How did it go, did they listen?"

Charlie looks a bit nervous for some reason. "Oh, they sure did hear it! But-"

"Oh come here, we have something exciting to show you." Vaggie leads Charlie to the others. "Alastor pulled some strings and the new commercial we made is about to air!"

"I pulled a few limbs too, hahaha!" Alastor laughed. Vaggie decided not to question him. Charlie blinks. "Wait, the commercial? You all made a new one?"

Angel nodded. "Yeah, one of my better performances if i do say so myself."

Charlie beams brightly. "That's...that's amazing!" Angel shushed her. "Sshh, it's starting."

The commercial starts with everyone standing in front of the hotel. "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel-" Then it cuts to 666 news. "Oh come on!!!" Vaggie yelled in frustration, stomping her foot angrily. She did all that for nothing?!

Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench appeared on screen. "Breaking news in hell today! We have just received word from the Heaven Embassy that the next Extermination is happening sooner than ever before. Do you know what that means, Tom?"

"No, what does that mean, Katie?"

"It means we're all royally fucked!" Her eye twitches. The screen then shows the time on the clock timer reducing to 176 days until the next Extermination. Everyone stares at the screen in shock. "Wait, what? Why?!" Angel demands.

Notes:

Yes, i did have Vaggie sing a version of The Family Madrigal.

I regret nothing

Chapter 6: Radio Killed The Video Star (Part 1)

The day after it's revealed that Extermination is coming up soon, Vaggie stares at Charlie in concern as she paces around. KeeKee was laying on the moth's lap. "Okay. So the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. No big deal. Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am i right?!" She starts to panic. "And next time when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, right?!"

Vaggie gets up and holds Charlie, calming her down. "Yes. We will."

Angel, who was laying on the couch scrolling on his phone, scoffed. "Oh, please, ya had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now...Ain't no silver lining this time toots."

Vaggie glares at Angel. He is definitely NOT helping. "Sure there is! We just...have to look a little harder for it!" Charlie said optimistically.

Angel rolls his pink eyes. "Well, while you're lookin, the rest'a hell's goin' nuts." He waves his phone in their faces. "People are already freakn' out about the news. Look at what's happenin' in the Doomday District."

His phone suddenly got a message. Vaggie looks confused at what she read. "What's a donkey show??"

Angel panicked and held the phone close to his chest. "Nothing! My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too. Like i said, everyone's losin their shit."

Vaggie highly doubt that is the case. But she didn't think about it too much as she got an idea. "Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination? We can use this to recruit more sinners for the hotel!"

Charlie smiled at the idea. Angel however wasn't so convinced. "Cute idea and all kid, but you really gonna go out in all of this?"

"Well, it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep-"

BOOM! Charlie was instantly interrupted by a massive explosion. Vaggie screamed and immediately covers her ears at the loud sound. So loud! Taking a deep breath to let her heart go back to a steady pace, the three peek through the freshly made hole in the wall and saw a zeppelin. The three immediately ran outside.

"Show yourself Alassstor! Come and face-"

The snake guy controlling the battle zeppelin pauses when he noticed Alastor was not by the hole. He then looks to see him sipping coffee on the second floor balcony. "Oh, there you are."

Alastor sips coffee from his 'Oh Deer' mug. "Who you are?"

"Who am i? Who am i?! I am the great Sssir Pentiousss!" Alastor dissolved into fog and reappeared on the ground next to the others. "Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villian extraordinaire!"

Niffty suddenly appears on Alastor's right shoulder, clearly starstruck. "Ooh! He's a bad boy~"

Alastor placed Niffty on the ground. "Ha, well if all that's true, you'd think i'd have heard of you."

"He attacked us literally last week/i attacked you literally last week." Vaggie and Pentious both reminded him at the same time. Alastor simply tilts his head.

"We've done battle, like...20 times."

"Well, you must have been really bad at this." Alastor sassed. Vaggie had to bite back a snicker at that.

"Silence!" Pentious yelled. "Not cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal!"

Niffty reappears on Alastor's shoulder. "Ooh! Wait, who are the Vees?"

"Oh, nobody important." Alastor dismissed.

Vaggie blinks at Niffty. "Hold on, you don't know about the Vees? You've been here longer than me!" Niffty simply shrugs. "The Vees are, like, the most major influencers in the media industry! They're the villainous trio in hell. There's Velvette, who does social media. Valentino, the pimp lord moth. And the leader, Vox, who controls all the screens. Trust me, you don't want to cross them!" She basically just infodumped.

"Nerd." Angel whispers under his breath. Alastor however found himself impressed at how much information she has. "Like i said, they're nobody important. Now...let's deal with this~"

Alastor snapped his fingers and his tentacles started wrecking Pentious ship again. Vaggie grabs Niffty and take her back inside. "Wow! How do you know so much miss Vaggie??"

"I read a lot about overlords for...reasons." Vaggie darts her eye a bit. She can't let anyone know about her research on Alastor.

She came back outside and saw Pentious falling from his zeppelin and lands face first on the ground. Alastor twirls his staff. "Thanks for another forgettable experience." Vaggie cringes when one of the egg bois cracks near her. "Gross...!" She muttered as she shakes the yolk off her feet.

"Thank you...for letting your guard down!" Using his tail, he grabs a bit of Alastor's suit. He laughs in victory before immediately regretting his decision as a deer elk sound is heard. "Oh shit."

BOOM! A massive green explosion appears as Pentious flies off to the city screaming team rocket style. Vaggie took a picture on her phone. "Well, it looks as though i need a visit to the tailor! Best of luck, chums."

Alastor walks off. Vaggie's eye widened. "Wait, you're leaving?! Alastor! We need your help!"

"We need a wall." Angel elaborates.

"Of course! Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?" Alastor snapped his fingers and summoned black ink demons with construction tools. Angel smirked and shoves Vaggie away as he walks over.

"Hey, sweet cheeks. Whatcha doin' later? I love me a man with a giant...tool~" He flirted.

Vaggie sat up glaring at him. Charlie helped her stood up. "Come on, let's go find some sinners!"

🦌📺🦌📺🦌📺🦌📺🦌📺🦌📺🦌📺🦌📺🦌📺🦌

Charlie and Vaggie were walking down the streets with flyers to recruit more demons for the hotel. Suddenly, Vaggie noticed a crowd around the TV screens. She got distracted and went to see what's the fuzz. Vox, the leader of the Vees, appeared on the screen.

"🎵 Top of the hour and we're discussing a certain has-been who has been spotted cavorting around town after a seven year absence. Did anybody miss him, did anybody notice? More on tonight's program. So, the Radio Demon is back in town! Why is he hanging around? What does that mean for your family? Well, handily, I've got good news! He's a loser, a fossil, and i don't mean to sound hostile, but the demon is a coward!🎵"

Vaggie blinks and tilts her head as she watches. "🎵 You can take that as gospel. Pulling my viewers? Impossible! I'm visual, he's barely audible! Stop giving him the time of day! Don't listen to a word he'd say. I hope he had a nice vacay! But he should've stayed away!🎵"

Unknown to Vaggie, the tailor Alastor was at just so happened to be across from her. He came out and notices her in the crowd watching Vox. He couldn't help but feel...jealous. Why is she giving him attention?! He walks to his radio tower as Vox continues singing.

"🎵 While he hid in radio, we pivoted to video! Now his medium is getting bloody rare! Hell's been better since he split. Where's he been? Who gives a shit?!🎵"

Suddenly, Alastor's voice is heard. "🎵 Salutations! Good to be back on the air.🎵" Vaggie and the crowd is now focused on the radio from the 'Old Shit' shop next to the tv shop.

"🎵 Yes, i know it's been a while since someone with style treated hell to a broadcast. Sinners rejoice!🎵"

"🎵 What a dated voice!🎵"

"🎵 Instead of a clout chasing mediocre video podcast.🎵"

"COME ON!" The autistic moth couldn't help but giggle at their banter. It reminds her of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

"🎵 Is Vox insecure, pursuing allure? Fitting between this fad and that. Is nothing working?🎵"

"IGNORE HIS CHIRPING!"

"🎵 Every day he's got a new format!🎵"

"🎵 YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE! He's the shit that comes before that!🎵"

Vaggie leans close to the radio. She couldn't help it. Alastor's voice is soothing to her, it's like she's listening to soft ASMR.

"🎵 Is Vox as strong as he purports? Or is it based on his support? He'd be powerless without the other Vees!🎵"

"Oh, PLEASE."

"🎵 And here's the sugar on the cream. He asked ME to join his team!🎵" Her eye widened. She did NOT know that! "🎵 I said no, and now he's pissy! That's the tea!🎵"

Vaggie rolls her eye. Obviously, Angel must've taught the deer some modern slang. Vox starts to glitch in anger.

"🎵 You oold timey PRICK! I'll show y-you suffering!🎵"

"🎵 Uh oh, the TV is buffering~!🎵"

"🎵 I'LL DESTROY YOOOOU-YOU LIT-T-LE-🎵"

A blackout then happened. Vaggie jumps back in shock. She looks at the crowd around her. "Sooo, any one of you interested in joining the Hazbin Hotel?"

They all just walked off. Vaggie sighed and walks away to meet up with Charlie.

Chapter 7: Radio Killed The Video Star (Part 2)

After 6 hours of searching, Charlie and Vaggie called it quits and went back to the hotel. Charlie throws herself onto a couch, exhausted. "Soooo? How'd it go?" Angel asked with a smug smile that Vaggie desperately wants to wipe off.

She sighed. "Not a single new recruit. Angel shrugs. "Yeah well, who would wanna use their last days not fucking and fighting?"

As Angel checks his phone, Vaggie hears a knock on the front door. She walks over and opens the door, and saw none other than Sir Pentious.

"Why, hello my dear-" he was cut off by Vaggie straight up punching him in the face. "Ah!" He yelped in pain and falls to the ground when Vaggie brought out her spear at him. What is he doing here after attacking them?!

"Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace!" He nervously held a peace sign gesture.

Vaggie snarls at him. "What are you doing here?" Charlie appears behind Vaggie. "Vaggie, what's the problem?" She gasp when she saw the snake. "Oh! Hello again!"

Pentious stood up hesitantly. "I didn't come looking for a fight. I uhh...i heard that you're helping people. People who want to be better?"

Charlie lets out a gasp and runs over to grab his hand and leads him to the door of the hotel. "You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-"

Angel appears from the door and cuts her off. "Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally 6 hours ago! And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us??"

Charlie nodded. "Absolutely! This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this slithery...slippery...special little man!"

Angel looks at Vaggie with a raised eyebrow. "Aren't you supposed to protect this place?"

Vaggie gives Pentious a suspicious look, not trusting him...before seeing Charlie giving her an adorable puppy eyes look. She sighed. "I guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine." Pentious smiled as his hood flares up. "Or even with the machine." His smile drops as his hood deflated.

Charlie was so happy that she hugs Vaggie, lifting her up and twirling her around. "Oh! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" Charlie placed Vaggie ran down and ran over to Pentious. Vaggie smiled at her.

"Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!" Charlie leads Pentious inside. "Oh no darling! Thank you! You won't regret thisss."

"Eh, i give you a week, tops." Angel followed after. Vaggie's smile turns into a concerned look. She hopes this was a good idea.

🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋🐍🦋

Charlie gives Pentious a tour of the hotel, introducing him to Husk and the wall he blew up. Vaggie saw Charlie was getting excited again and calmed her down. "Babe, you don't have to show him every detail."

"Sorry, I'm just so excited to have our first real guest!" Charlie squeals.

Angel is standing right behind her. "Uh, what the hell am I then?"

Charlie realized what she said and tried to rephrase it nicely. "Well, you're an important part of our family here Angel, but you uhm, uh..."

"Constantly make us look bad, sexually harass the staff, and have literally never once tried to improve?" Vaggie spoke up, being blunt and brutally honest.

Angel scoffed. "Well, i'm not a weirdo bitch like you." Vaggie growls at him, face turning red. Charlie quickly tried to keep the peace. "What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once."

Charlie walks back to Pentious. Vaggie leans against the wall and watches as she continued showing Pentious around and introducing him to Niffty and Alastor. Neither of them noticed the hurt look on Angel's face.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Charlie, Vaggie, Angel and Pentious were gathered around the fire place. "Now, with a resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other! So we are going to play a little game. Everyone, follow me." Charlie starts off. "My name is Charlie." Clap clap! "I like to sing!" Clap clap. "And when we get to know each other its the greatest thing!" Clap clap!

She gestured to Pentious. "My name's Sir Pentious." Clap clap! "I like to build." Clap clap! "And despite my stupid egg bois, i think i'm very skilled!" Clap clap!

When it was Angel's turn, he looked disinterested, looking up from his phone. "This is stupid."

"This is not stupid!" Clap clap! "It's just a game!" Clap clap! "Sir Pentious did it well so now please try to do the same!" Clap clap!

Angel sighed. "I am too sober for this."

Vaggie looks at him. "Well, get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day!" She claps while smiling like an annoying younger sister.

Later, everyone watches Angel and Pentious perform a roleplay of a drug deal. Angel was wearing a trenchcoat and a hat while Pentious was wearing a cute little sailor suit and was licking a comically large lollipop.

"Oh, I'm a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs. Now, where's an innocent kid i can sell crack to?" Angel deadpanned as he reads a script. "Wow, who wrote this?"

"It's great, right? Keep going!" An oblivious Charlie said. Vaggie looks at her. She loves her girlfriend, but it's very obvious she doesn't actually know how drug dealers work.

Vaggie blankly stares as she watches the scene. She doesn't want to say this in front of Charlie, but this seems highly unrealistic. And by the looks of Alastor and Husk's faces, they seemed to be thinking the same thing too.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sssexual intercourse before marriage!" Pentious finished the scene.

Charlie stands up and claps for him. "Yes! Oh! Bravo, bravo! At this rate, you'll be redeemed in no time!"

Angel frowns. "I'm...I'm going to bed." He left the room. Husk immediately walks off, Alastor simply sat on the couch, Charlie praised Pentious, while Niffty gazes at the snake with admiration and affection.

Vaggie however saw Angel walking up the stairs with an upset look on his face. Even though she doesn't like him and doesn't usually have that much empathy...she couldn't help but give a concerned look

Chapter 8: Radio Killed The Video Star (Part 3)

Charlie and Vaggie were getting ready for bed. While Charlie was excitedly chirping about Pentious first day, Vaggie was brushing her hair with an unsure look on her face. "Hon, are you sure letting Pentious join was a good idea?"

Charlie nodded. "Of course! Everyone has good deep down inside them, and Sir Pentious has been making excellent progress today!"

Vaggie bites her lips. "Well, Angel wasn't exactly happy during the roleplay scene...i think he was jealous of Pentious."

Charlie blinks. "Well, maybe we can do some trust exercises to help them get along!" She suggested.

Vaggie chuckled. "Alright hon. Let's go to bed." She flaps her wrists a bit before the girls climbed in bed. Right when Vaggie was closing her eye...

"Get your aggressively average body OFF OF ME!"

They immediately sat up when they heard sounds of fighting. "What the fuck was that?!"

They went downstairs to the library and saw Angel and Pentious fighting. "What's going on?" Charlie asked, yawning.

"This little bitch is a traitor!" Angel accused.

"Preposterous! I would never betray you. You...are my best friends!" Pentious hugs both girls. While Charlie smiles, Vaggie grunts at the touch.

"Uh huh, then explain this!" Angel moves some books out of the way, revealing a camera meant to spy on them. "I knew it!" Vaggie yelled angrily, punching Pentious in the face again.

Pentious panicked and scurried to the window now that his cover is blown. "Abort! Abort! S.O.S! Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacuation!"

Vox's voice is suddenly heard on his watch. "Pentious? Wait...you were caught?!?! It hasn't even been a day!"

"Please! You've got to get me out of here!" Pentious begs

"I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple! Do us a favor, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself! You MISERABLE FAILURE!"

Pentious tears up as he removes the watch. "I...i...just make it quick i guess...not that i deserve it..."

He lies on the ground, waiting to be killed. "Gladly." Vaggie glares, getting her spear out. "Wait!" Charlie suddenly spoke up. She extended her hand towards Pentious. "Pentious?"

Pentious gazes his teary eyed gaze at her. Charlie smiled softly. "🎵 It starts with sorry, that's your foot in the door. One simple sorry, spoken straight from your core. The path to forgiveness, is a twisting trail of hearts! But sorry is where it starts!🎵"

Vaggie and Angel looked at each other then at Charlie. Is this seriously happening? Pentious frowns. "🎵 Who could forgive a dirtbag like me? I don't deserve your amnesty.🎵"

Angel and Vaggie glared at Pentious, getting their weapons out. "🎵 Can't we just kill him? Shoot him and spill his blood?🎵"

"🎵 That's an option you could choose.🎵" Charlie sheepishly said.

"🎵 Works for us.🎵"

"🎵 But who hasn't been in his shoes? It starts with sorry.🎵"

Vaggie and Angel deadpanned as they watched Charlie and Pentious sing. This is really happening...

"🎵 It starts with Sorry!🎵" That's when they noticed Niffty in her nightgown. Needless to say, her attraction towards Pentious immediately ended.

"I hated that song! Why are you so lame?! Not a bad boy." Niffty kicks him on one of his tail 'eyes' and storms away.

Charlie happily sighs. "Good first day! Let's get some rest!" They went back to bed. Vaggie gets the feeling life in the hotel is going to be even crazier...now she has to mask in front of another demon now.

Chapter 9: Annoyance

Summary:

A short little funny filler chapter leading up to Scrambled Eggs, enjoy!

Vaggie hums as she makes herself a nice stack of blueberry pancakes for breakfast. She adds whipped cream on top since syrup is too sticky for her.

She smiled at her finished stack. "Perfecto!" Right when she was bringing it to the table to eat...Pentious's weird little egg minions suddenly ran past her. She tripped over one and ended up with her breakfast all over her!

"Ugh, great..." Vaggie grunts in annoyance, there goes her breakfast...

🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋

Later, Vaggie was walking to her office with her paperwork. She noticed the door was left open. "Huh, must've left it open."

She entered and was pissed at what she saw. "Seriously?!" Those eggs snuck in and made a mess of her office!

🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋🥚🦋

That night, Vaggie was stimming on a fidget spinner, watching it spin around in amusement. She giggles

"Oh boy! That looks like fun!" Vaggie's eye twitches as she slowly looks at Frank

"Get...out...now!" Frank quickly scampered off. Vaggie lets out a groan of annoyance, flopping down on her bed.

"Those little eggs have got to go!"

Chapter 10: Scrambled Eggs (Part 1)

It's been one week since Pentious has joined the hotel. Charlie was putting up a banner that said 'Happy first week, Sir Pentious!' Vaggie was holding the ladder in place. "That looks perfect! Aah! I am so excited that Sir Pentious is staying at the hotel!" Charlie squeals.

Vaggie however wasn't that excited. "Um, Pentious was just trying to take over the city with his weird steampunk bullshit a few days ago." She reminds her.

Charlie comes down. "Well, i haven't seen him try to pull any of that here."

On cue, Pentious entered rolling in a new machine that his egg boiz are sitting on. "What the hell is that?" Vaggie demanded.

"Oh, hello, purple female." Pentious greeted to Vaggie's confusion. Did he just called her purple?? "It's my new invention, the Ssskin Flayer 11,000! I'm really looking forward to shooting the other residents."

"What? Why?" Charlie asked. "Everyone isss being too nice. Obviously it must be a lie. I can sense that they are planning to kill me, but when? How? I must be prepared!" Pentious then smiled. "Ooh, the new parts of my machine are here."

That's when Charlie and Vaggie noticed Odette and Clara wheeling in boxes of weapons. "Sign, please." Pentious happily signs the clipboard before going to his parts. "Thank you for your business. Enjoy your Carmine purchase."

They walked out of the lobby as Pentious takes the crate full of parts and weapons for his machine. Vaggie's eye widened. He got parts from Carmilla fucking Carmine?! The overlord of weaponry?! She's her idol!! "Carmine? As in, Carmilla Carmine? You are buying parts from an overlord?"

"Uh, of course. Ssshe's the top weapons dealer in hell." Pentious said like it was obvious.

"Okay, well that stops right now." She took his boxes away from him.

"Hey!" He hissed.

"You absolutely cannot build weapons in this hotel! No one is trying to kill you. People are being nice because they want you to feel welcome."

Pentious looks at Vaggie with an unconvinced expression. He peeks over his machine to scowl at the other residents and workers. "Hmm, i have my doubtsss."

"Well, it's true. You have to trust us." Vaggie said. "But i don't." Pentious replied, crossing his arms.

"Well, why don't we focus on that for today's activities?" Charlie suggested.

Vaggie crossed her arms similar to the snake. "Not before we lay some ground rules. No more building weapons, no more plotting against other guests, and you need to get rid of these things..." She darkly glared at the eggs. She hasn't forgotten about them ruining her day yesterday...

2 of the egg boiz were having a tug of war over a lazer but accidentally set it off and blow a hole in the ceiling, much to Vaggie's frustration. "Oh!" She groaned in annoyance, putting one hand on her hip. "What did i just say? What did i JUST say??"

Pentious looked shocked. "What? Not my little egg boiz. They do my evil bidding for me!" He hugs his eggs.

"Do you want to stay here and redeem yourself?" Vaggie sharply asked.

"Yesss?"

"Then no more eggs."

Pentious got teary eyed. "All right, eggies. You've got to go. I can't keep you anymore!"

"Okay, boss." The eggs casually followed Vaggie as she wheels Pentious boxes away.

"No, don't resist. This is how it has to be!" She can hear Pentious said even though none of them are resisting.

🦋👑🐍🦋👑🐍🦋👑🐍🦋👑🐍🦋👑🐍🦋👑🐍🦋

"I like your ribbon!"

"Where'd you get the eyepatch?"

"Why is your hair so long?"

Vaggie's eye twitches as she leads the Eggs to Alastor's room. They are so annoying...!

She opens his door and saw him eating a deer corpse in his bayou like room. "Alastor!"

Record scratch! Alastor looks surprised for a second and his eye go from the deer carcass on the table to Vaggie. "Do you mind? I'm in the middle of breakfast."

"Pentious eggs are all over the place, and I need you to get rid of them." She requested.

Alastor throws away his knife and fork and stands up, summoning his microphone. "Oh, well, in that case, i'd be delighted to!"

"Humanely." She drily reminds him, knowing how Alastor is.

"Hmm. Well, that's a lot less fun...but i suppose i can take care of that on my outing today. Have fun today!" Alastor pats her head as he walks out of the room.

Vaggie smiled. "Great!" She looks at the rotting deer body and cringes. "That looks disgusting."

🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋🦌🦋

While Alastor was out with the eggs, Charlie calls everyone else into the lobby. "Hi, guys. Thanks for coming! It's been brought to our attention that may be a little...tension in the hotel."

Vaggie saw Pentious holding Niffty in his tail and about to shoot with his ray gun, but she immediately snatched it before he can. "Tension that can be counterproductive to what we're trying to do here."

"We think that this group could really benefit from...trust exercises!" Charlie cheered as she and Vaggie go flying up into the air.

"Trust exercises-ah shit!" Vaggie falls on her rear while Charlie sticks the landing. She pulls her back on her feet.

"Vaggie, we rehearsed this." Charlie sighed before putting on a smile. "We're doing trust exercises!"

"So, uh, what's with the whole, uhh, this?" Husk gestured to the stage behind Charlie and Vaggie. "I'm not about to put on some show for these fucking chumps."

"Oh, i will~" Angel puts his feet on Husk's lap, to his annoyance. "But it's cash up front, and i know that one can't afford me." He points at Pentious, who looks disgusted at the thought. "Grosss! I'd never think of it, spider!"

Vaggie puts her hands on her hips. "Right, well, let's get started. Charlie?"

"Actually, i thought maybe you could take the lead on this one." Wait, what?? "I trust everyone, so maybe you know better on how to build it properly!" Charlie walks over to stand by the others.

Vaggie stares in disbelief. Charlie wants HER to lead this activity?? She doesn't anyone yet except for maybe Alastor! "What? Uhh, i don't know if I'm qualified, uh..."

"Oh, come on. It'll be easy! I'm sure you can handle this!" Charlie assured her.

"Yeah, um..." Vaggie looks at everyone. Pentious is scowling at her, Angel is boredly staring at his nails, Husk is looking grumpy, Niffty is looking hyper, Charlie is giving her double thumbs up. Vaggie doesn't want to disappoint Charlie so..."Sure, i can handle this. No problem."

She took a deep breath as she tried to remember her days of training with the exorcist. "All right, so we are starting with trust falls! Each of you are going to share something vulnerable with the group about yourself and then fall backwards while the rest of the group catches you, got it? Who wants to go first?"

Charlie excitedly raises her hand. "Ooh! Me me me me me me!!!"

"All right, get on up here. Vaggie watches with a fond smile as Charlie gets up on stage.

"I-i love you guys. Like, really, really love you." She falls backwards. Vaggie immediately runs forward and catches her. "Gotcha!"

"That...felt...good! Angel, why don't you go next?" Charlie suggested.

"Fine." Angel rolls his eyes as he walks onto the stage. Vaggie looks at the other three with a glare. "This time EVERYONE needs to catch him, okay? Unless you want to me hurt you."

She took her spear out as warning, prompting Husk, Niffty and Pentious to come closer to the stage. "Something about myself, huh? How about this? I LOVE to suck-"

"I swear to fuck if you say dicks!"

"-popsicles, ya sicko! Get your mind outta the gutter!" Angel falls backwards. Husk catches him. "But, ya know, dicks too!" Husk drops him.

Angel rubs his sore ass before looking at Pentious slightly smug. "Alright new guy, you're up."

Pentious went next. "I...don't want to live without my minions. Nobody catch me!" Everyone except Angel catches him. "Dammit!"

Vaggie grimaced in disgust as she can feel his slimy skin. Anything slimy is a sensory hell for her. "That's great. Wow, you are slimy." She drops him and flaps her wrists, getting the slime off her hands. "Okay, good job. Uh, Niffty?"

Niffty runs past them onto the stage, giggling maniacally. "Sometimes, i kill mother-bugs in front of their children as a warning to others!"

She jumps, no catched her. In front, they all backed the fuck up from her and lets her lands on the floor. "Yay! Pain!" She giggles and repeatedly jumps off the stage.

Charlie and Vaggie walk off to privately. "I don't know if this is really working the way we'd hoped. Maybe we should-"

"Honey, you have to trust me here. I got this, okay? I'll figure something out."

Angel appears behind them. "If you're in the market for some ideas, i've got just the thing for some 'trust building'"

Vaggie sighs, knowing she's going to regret this. "What do you have in mind?"

Chapter 11: Scrambled Eggs (Part 2)

"Angel! What the actual fuck?!" Vaggie yelled angrily at Angel. Out of all the places he could've taken them too, he chose a BDSM club! Really Angel?!

"Hey, no activity requires a more trust than BDSM, baby. No bond stronger than those formed through bondage! Dat's their motto!" Angel points to a poster on the wall which indeed says that.

Charlie smiled nervously. "Angel, love the enthusiasm. But, umm..." She looks a bit flustered at the sex stuff.

"What makes you think anyone would be into this?!" Vaggie scolded before instantly being proven wrong by Husk purring as he's getting a massage.

"You know, i don't hate this." Husk chuckled before his mood was ruined when Niffty appeared in a full dominatrix get up.

"I'm ready to punish some bad boys!" She giggles. Seeing Niffty and her outfit makes Husk get up. "...Never mind, I'm out."

Vaggie crossed her arms looking unimpressed before a demon with snake hair comes up behind her and starts giving her a massage. "Oh cutie, you're feel muscles so tense~"

Vaggie grimaced at being touched before immediately stepping away from everyone. "Ugh! I can't fucking believe i let you drag us here, Angel. This is disgusting!"

A concerned Charlie goes over to her. "It's no big deal, Vaggie. You know, maybe i can just help-"

Vaggie shook her head. "No. I told you you could trust me, and I'm not going to let you down." Vaggie turns away. Think Vaggie, think! What's the best way to build trust...?

That's when she remembered how Lute taught HER to trust her fellow exorcists. "I just need to teach them the way I was taught..."

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

"THIS IS HOW YOU LEARNED TO TRUST PEOPLE?!" Charlie yelled as Vaggie taken them to a turf war. All of them were standing on a rooftop.

Vaggie starts acting like a drill sergeant again. "There is nothing stronger than the trust between comrades in arms. Buckle up, buttercups, because today you boys become men!"

A loud explosion appears behind her in the background. She starts going to Pentious and picks him up. "Wait, wait! I can't fight without my minions!"

"You are gonna survive together!" She throws him off the building and before slowly looking at Angel.

"D-don't you even think about it-"

"And you are gonna make this hotel work!" She grabs Angel and also throws him off the roof.

Niffty bounces next to Vaggie, excited and smiling with anticipation. "My turn, my turn!"

Vaggie picks up Niffty as Husk makes his escape, going all 'Fuck this shit, i'm out.' Before Vaggie can throw Niffty, Charlie grabs her. "Vaggie, no!"

Vaggie frowns and turns to Charlie. "This is the only way they'll learn, Charlie."

"No, it's not." Charlie placed Niffty down. "There are other ways. It just takes time!"

"Time we don't have!" Vaggie snapped. "How many exterminations will have gone by before these idiots get their shit together? How many timed will we have to watch your people be killed before we make ANY progress?!" Vaggie grunts and pulls on her hair, on a verge of a meltdown. "I took charge today and it all went sideways. I'm supposed to make your dreams a reality. I'm supposed to protect you. I'm supposed to never fail you!!"

Vaggie turns away from Charlie, her breathing is getting uneasy. She's supposed to be Charlie's manager, but she can't get everyone to trust each other! If Charlie realized how worthless she is...is she going to replace her?! "If i can't help you, what's the point of me?"

Charlie gasped as Vaggie's self loathing of herself. She so desperately wants to give her a hug, but she knows that touching her will trigger her. "Vaggie, don't say that! You do so much! You didn't fail me! It's-"

"I'm sorry, but i want to be alone right now..."

Charlie frowns but abide her girlfriend's wishes, walking down the stairs. A few tears run down Vaggie's cheeks. Her dad was right...Adam was right...Lute was right...everyone was right...

She was nothing but a worthless failure...

Chapter 12: Scrambled Eggs (Part 3)

Vaggie walks back to the hotel alone. She let out a sad sigh. She doesn't want to fail Charlie. The princess found her after she's been abandoned by heaven. She was the first person in years to ever show kindness...

She suddenly started singing as she climbs up the hotel. "🎵 When I saw your face, you made me feel like a stranger in a brand new place. And it felt so good to be understood! But there's so much i wished that I could say.🎵"

Vaggie jumps onto the crows nest on the pirate ship. "🎵 So i, I'll be your armor. Do whatever it takes, I'll make the mistakes. I'll spend my life being your partner.🎵"

Her long hair flows through the air as she sings, Charlie in her mind. "🎵 And i will try to make your dreams come true. Whatever we go through! I know i, I'll be your armor. Whatever it takes, I'll make the mistakes. Whatever it takes!🎵"

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Back inside the hotel, Charlie looks down after a disastrous trust exercise. Vaggie walks over to her at the balcony. "Hey..."

Charlie waves to her. "Hey..." Vaggie sighed, rubbing her arm. "I'm sorry i got so crazy today."

Charlie holds her hand. "No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I put pressure on you. We work as a team. I guess i just thought all this would be easier, but we'll figure it out together. I mean, look what you're exercise did for them."

Vaggie looks down and saw Angel, Pentious and Niffty laughing amongst themselves after one crazy battle against the demons in a turf war. She couldn't believe it. It actually worked??

"Well, how about that..."

She heard the front door opening so she looked and saw Alastor entering with the egg boiz.

"Alastor! Failed to get rid of the eggs, i see." Vaggie teased with a smile.

"Yes, well, the little monsters prove to be rather useful..." She didn't notice the sudden change in his tone.

"Why don't you give them back to Pentious?" Vaggie suggested. Upon hearing this, Pentious gets teary when Vaggie is allowing him to keep his minions. "Really?!"

Vaggie shrugged. "Yeah. I guessed I've been a bit too hard on you. After today, i guess i can trust you with them. But seriously, no. More. Weapons."

Pentious gets emotional and slithered down to hug his egg boiz as Alastor walks away. "Ahhh! My eggs! It's so good to have you back. Now, go clean my quarters this instant!"

At his command, the egg boiz immediately scatters away as Charlie and Vaggie watched them leave. "Maybe, things will move fast than you think." Charlie smiled. Vaggie smiled back.

Notes:

For the Masquerade chapter, should I

A. Have Vaggie go to the studio instead of Charlie

Or

B. Keep it the same as canon but instead Vaggie goes with Husk to go after Angel

Chapter 13: Masquerade (Part 1)

A few days after the trust exercises, Angel was showing one of his pornos for show and tell. Alastor refused to participate, not wanting to see any of Angel's vulgar films.

Pentious is looking flustered, Charlie is looking sick, Vaggie is annoyed, Niffty is the only one that's actually interested. "You know, this performance won me a Sex-x-xi award." Angel bragged.

"It's, uh...very...honest?" Charlie smiled nervously. She looks away, nauseous.

"Ew." Vaggie grimaced in disgust before covering Charlie's eyes. "Okay! Enough of that. Angel, what the fuck?"

Angel blinks. "What? You said it was show n tell day. I'm showing you my best film, and I'm telling you that it scored me a win over that bitch Tiffany Titfucker."

"Who?"

"Exactly." Vaggie just gives Angel a deadpan look. "You didn't really answer my question-"

"Ya know, not a very convincing interrogation scene." Husk suddenly spoke up from the bar, cleaning a wine glass.

Angel scoffed. "Alright, dickhead. What makes you think you have any right to insult my work to my fucking face?"

"You really gonna sit there and act like these scripts ain't hot garbage?" Vaggie silently nodded in agreement with Husk.

Angel gasps, offended. "Fuck you! This is classy art!" Angel on-screen got his ass slapped before being eaten out. A blushing Pentious hides his face in his hood.

Husk walks over. "That's bullshit. You get drunk and bitch about them all the time. Everyone likes to bitch to the bartender. I know everything about you and these motherfuckers at this point."

Husk started calling everyone out, starting with Pentious. "That one is an insecure buffoon whose lonely ass watches you idiots sleep!" Pentious smiled nervously as everyone looks at him weirded out. Vaggie however tensed up. Does that mean he knows she sleeps with plushies?!

Next is Charlie. "Princess is a bleeding heart who wants to solve everybody else's problems except her own." Charlie tried dismissing it. "What?! No, i-what? Pffft, no..." Vaggie stares in concern.

Then it's her turn. "Kid here judges everyone and everything because she hates herself." Vaggie let out a groan of annoyance.

"And Niffty?" Niffty twirls her hair around her finger while smiling mischievously. "Hehhh...you don't even want to know what her deal is."

"Actually, i kind of want to-" Vaggie was interrupted by Angel laughing. "You weren't kidding!"

He laughs in front of Vaggie's voice, making her frown. "Wow, kitten's got claws. Meow~" He flirted.

Husk immediately pulls away from the spider. "And you! Don't get me started. I see right through you and all this bullshit and how fake you are."

Angel pretended to be surprised. "Oh ho ho, me? Fake? Wow, i had no idea. Guess that's why I'm an actor, dumbass. And-" Then his phone rings. "Hold that thought."

Angel walks away, answering his phone. He looks rather nervous for some reason. Vaggie has a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Well, uh...looks like Val needs me for an...uh-emergency shoot."

"Uh huh, sure."

Angel glared at Husk. "You know what? Fuck you. I don't give a shit what some drunk ass bartender thinks of me." He pulls out pink shaded from his chest fluff. "So why don't you just crawl back to whatever cave you came from, porn critic." Husk growls and glares at Angel as he walks off.

Charlie sprints after Angel. "Angel, you can't leave yet." Shs tries to stop him from leaving by taking his hands and gently leading him back to the lobby. "We haven't finished our exercises for the day."

"I'm sure you'll manage without me." He walks back over to the door and opens it, only for Charlie to close it. "There isn't much time left for the hotel to prove itself!"

Angel sighed. "Dollface, it's my job. I know you want to fix everything but unless you can fix my boss, there's nothing you can do."

Charlie frowns as Angel walks out. She groane. "Uuugh, why is this so haaaard? What am i doing wrong??"

Vaggie walks over. "Well, i mean...you're the princess of hell."

"So?"

"So, you don't really use the power that comes with that, which i love about you, but maybe you can...i don't know, command a little more...authority?" Vaggie suggested.

"But that's so meeeeaaan!" Charlie said in a whiny tone.

Vaggie tried to think of a way that makes sense to Charlie. "It's not mean exactly. It's...uh aggressive kindness."

Charlie catches on. "Okay...i could be so aggressively kind to Angel's boss...that i convince him to let Angel spend more time at the hotel!"

"Sure, whatever gets you there, babe. But maybe wait until Angel's job is done to-" She's already out the doors. "...This is not going to end well."

Chapter 14: Masquerade (Part 2)

Notes:

Happy Autism Awareness Day, my fellow autistics!

While Charlie is out at Valentino's studio, Vaggie was doing a therapy session with Husk. "Okay Husk, I'm going to ask you some questions so i can set you on the proper path to redemption!"

"Sure, whatever." Husk gruffed.

Vaggie sighed, she can already tell this is going to go nowhere. "So...what brought you to us?"

"Alastor."

"I know that, but what made you want to better yourself?"

"I don't, I'm only here because Alastor basically brought me here against my will..." Husk said bitterly, wishing he has his bottle with him.

Vaggie frowns. "You and Alastor seemed to have history with each other...how did you two met?"

Husk seemed to tensed up a bit before growling a bit, though it wasn't aimed at her. "I don't want to talk about it..."

Vaggie groans, starting to get frustrated. "Husk, can you stop beinggrouchy and actually be productive for once?!"

He suddenly stood up. "Look kid, I know you don't really care about my past. You're just trying to get information about Alastor."

Vaggie's eye widened before she also stood up. "No no wait! It's not like that! It's just-"

"And i know you just think i'm a drunk old man and nothing that, so what's the point in telling you this?" He's already walking towards the door.

Vaggie suddenly touched his shoulder. "Husk, wait! I didn't mean to-"

The old cat let out a sigh. "Kid, i know you're trying to help princess and you got a lot of issues I'm not going to pry...but judging everyone is not going to help...i should know..."

And with that, Husk left. Vaggie let out a sigh. Why must the bartenders always be right?

🦋🍺🦋🍺🦋🍺🦋🍺🦋🍺🦋🍺🦋🍺🦋🍺🦋🍺

Vaggie sighed sadly as she sat alone in the library. Maybe Husk was right...she does judge everyone at first glance...

"Knock knock!" Vaggie shots her head up and saw Alastor standing at the doorway.

"Oh, hey Alastor! Just doing some late night reading."

Alastor hums as he walks in and catch a glimpse of what she's reading. His ears moved slightly. "Is that me...?"

Vaggie smiled nervously. "Yeah, i-i sometimes like to study about you..." That's code for 'Your my hyperfixation.'

"Me?" He quirks a brow, his smile a tad wider upon learning this.

"Yes. Everything about you. Your past, your love of the 1930s, the abilities you hold. I read about you all the time!" Vaggie stimmed, swaying in her toetips to ankles.

"My dear, i am utterly flattered you so happen to find me so interesting. I must say i hardly blame you." Al chuckled, twirling his staff and ruffling her white hair. "I haven't had such fans since the stock market crash of 1929!"

Vaggie giggles a bit before looking at him. "Um, Alastor? Is it okay if i ask you something? You and Husk know each for a while and he doesn't seem to like you...what happened?"

Alastor's ears flopped down. "Uhh..."

Thankfully, a noise at the bar caught Vaggie's attention. "STOP! Fucking christ!" She heard Husk yell.

"What was that...?" Concerned, Vaggie left the library. Alastor let out a breath of relief before disappearing into the shadow.

Vaggie walks through the hallway when she heard Angel yelled "CALL ME FAKE ONE MORE TIME, MOTHERFUCKER! I dare you!!"

She paused. She rarely ever heard Angel raised his voice! "Fake." She heard Husk said smugly.

"FUCKING ASSHOLE-Arrgh! God!" Vaggie peeks out into the lobby and saw Angel laying on the floor. "Ya done?" Husk asked.

Angel growls angrily. "YA KNOW WHAT?!? You would be Fucking LUCKY to get a chance to fuck me!" She flinches when she saw him throwing a broken bottle at Husk. The cat nonchalantly moves out of the way. "Ya know how much I'm WORTH?! You know how many people would kill to have ANGEL DUST come onto THEM?! FUCK YOU. Have fun being a lonely piece of shit!"

Vaggie comes out to deescate the situation but Angel storms out of the hotel, pushing past her. "Woah-the hell? Angel, where are you going?"

"Out!" She flinches when he slammed the door angrily before glaring at Husk. "Husk, what did you do?"

"Made him a drink."

A concerned Charlie walks over. "Oh no. He looks really upset."

Husk waves it off. "It's just Angel. He'll be fine."

Charlie frowns. "I'm not so sure. I really messed up at the studio today and he got...ugh, it was...it wasn't good, okay?"

Vaggie tucks Charlie's hair behind her ear and gives her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry hun, I'll go after him! And i think someone should go with me..."

Husk just stares and blinks blankly. "Someone named 'Husk'."

"Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me. Why don't you go by yourself if you're so worried?"

"Because I'm not the one who sent him storming out." Vaggie retorted, going up to him as they glared at each other. "You caused it, your going to help me drag him back."

Charlie goes over to them. "No! No...Don't force him back. Just make sure he's safe. I pushed too hard earlier and...i only made things worse. Look, he'll come back when he's ready. I just don't want anything to happen to him until then."

Vaggie gives a look at Husk, who grumbles. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go write one hundred apology letters and a lesson planned for tomorrow about...boundaries!"

Husk rolls his eyes and slumps forward while making a whiny cat noise.

Chapter 15: Masquerade (Part 3)

Vaggie and Husk looked around for Angel at a bar. Vaggie grunts when someone bumps into her. "Um, excuse you!"

She glares before hearing Angel laughing. "I'm so fucked up!" She turns her head and saw him sitting with a shark gang. Vaggie sighed, at least he's alright.

Husk sits at the bar counter, placing money down. "Get me a whiskey..." The bartender places a glass down and pours some before Husk grabs the bottle. "I meant the whole bottle, jackass." The bartender stares at him silently before letting him have the bottle and takes away the glass instead as Husk drinks down the bottle. Vaggie just blankly looks at him and blinks.

She sat down next to him. "What's the big deal with alcohol? Why do you like it so much?" Husk hands her the bottle. "Here, try some." Raising an eyebrow, Vaggie took a sip of whiskey...and immediately spits it out! "Gross!" Vaggie gagged as Husk laughs. "Well, at least you tried something new."

"Haha, so i said 'You couldn't afford me in a million afterlives.' I got better options, right boys?" Angel said to the sharks.

"You got that right!" The gangsters laugh as Husk and Vaggie watches and simultaneously grimace.

"Hey, baby, be a doll and bring me another one? Daddy's outta juice!"

The gangster took his and Angel's empty glasses by the bar counter as he sits next to Vaggie who gives him a suspicious look. That's she and Husk witness him pouring a love potion/drug into Angel's glass. Their eyes widened as he returns to Angel.

"Oh hell no..." Vaggie muttered as she immediately follows after. "Son of a-" Husk muttered as he too follows him.

"Here you go, darling. Just for you-woah!" Just as Angel is about to reach for the drink, Husk grabs the demon by the back of his suit.

"Nice try, fuckhead!" Angel watches in surprise as Husk throws the demon headfirst into a jukebox. The rest of the gangsters take out their guns.

"Alright, time to go!" Vaggie grabs Angel and holds him over her shoulder. "What the?! Hey!" Husk throws a stack of cards at the gangsters which cuts the barrels off their guns and cuts a net loose from the ceiling, immobilizing them.

🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺

Husk and Vaggie took Angel out of the bar. "Vaggie, Husk! What the actual fuck are you both doing here?! Let go of me!" Angel protests.

Vaggie shook her head. "Oh no, hombre. We're taking you back to the hotel."

"Get off!" Angel slipped out of Vaggie's grasp. "That fucker put something in your drink." Husk told him.

"You don't think i can tell if someone spikes my drink? I do this all the fucking time!" Angel reveals, to Vaggie's shock.

"You just let people drug you all the time?! Angel, this is not healthy!" Vaggie yelled, concerned. Is this why Angel's the way he is??

"You think i ask for it? I don't ask for any of this shit! I didn't ask to be this way! I didn't ask for Charlie to save me, i didn't ask for you two to save me. I can handle myself."

Husk didn't believe him. "Really? Because we just saw someone self-destructing. It seems like...i don't know...you might need a bartender to talk to."

Vaggie nodded. "Yeah Angel, we're trying to help you. And we can't do that if you won't let us!"

Angel let out a bitter chuckle. "Oh, so now you're going to act like you give a shit about me? You think after how you treated me, I'm gonna open up to you? And you!" He points at Vaggie, who stiffened up. "Ya actually think i'm going to tell you anything after you basically implied that I'm a lost cause? Please..." He walks off.

Vaggie frowns guiltily. Maybe she was being a bit of a bitch a few weeks ago...'I didn't mean to...' She thought.

"Maybe I'd treat you better if you were real, and not some bullshit version of yourself, always pushing my boundaries!" Husk yelled. "Lemme tell ya, nobody in that hotel cares who you are. How famous, how hot, so you might as well just...cut the act-"

"IT'S NOT AN ACT!" A teary eyed Angel yelled, stunning Husk and Vaggie. "It's who i need to be. And this..." He gestured around. "This is my escape. Where I can forget about it all! How much i hate...everything. A place where i can get high, and not have to think about how much it hurts. And maybe...if i can ruin myself enough in the process...if i end up broken, i won't be his favorite toy anymore...and maybe he'll let me go..."

Angel sits down on the sidewalk, curling up into a small ball with his legs close to his chest with his arms wrapped around them and his head buried into his knees. "Oh Angel..." Vaggie whispers in shock as she covered her mouth. She...she had no idea what he was going through...

She immediately sat down next to him and rubs his back. Husk stares at Angel with sympathy and pity, then walks over and sits down on the pavement near them. He sighs. "I was an overlord once, you know."

"Excuse me, whaaaaa?!" Vaggie immediately turns her head at him. Did he just casually dropped lore on himself??? "Yeah, and uh..it was nice to have that power. But when you're dealing with souls while also being a gambler, the stakes are pretty high. And losing a few hands can be more than a little dangerous. So when you're down on your luck, you turn to anything to...keep you afloat, even making deals yourself. So i know what it's like to...regret the choices made...and knowing ya can't take it back."

Vaggie frowns, bow drooping sadly. "I-i know how it feels too...putting on a mask and keeping yourself hidden..." She's uncomfortably sitting on her hands, something her teachers at school scold her to do whenever she was stimming.

The three sits in silence for a moment. Then Husk begins to sing. "🎵 So things look bad, and you're back's against the wall. Your whole existence seems fucking hopeless.🎵"

He grabs an umbrella and protects the two from getting barfed on by someone leaving a bar. "🎵You're feeling filthy as a dive bar bathroom stall. Can't face the world sober and dopeless. You've lost your way, you think your life is wrecked. Well, let me just say you're...correct!🎵"

Vaggie and Angel did not expect to hear that. "Wait, what?" They both said.

"🎵 You're a loser, baby. A loser, goddamm baby. You're a fucked up little whiny bitch.🎵"

"Hey!" Angel yelled, offended.

"🎵 You're a loser, just like me.🎵"

"Thank, asshole." Angel flips him off.

"🎵 You're a screw's-loose boozer, an only one-star reviews-er. You're a power bottom at rock bottom. But you got company.🎵"

"This supposed to make me feel better?" Angel frowns.

"Yeah, can you skip to the feel good part of the song?" Vaggie hissed.

Husk continues singing. "🎵 There was a time i thought no one could relate to the gruesome ways in which I'm damaged. But lettin walls down, it can sometimes set you straight!🎵" He sat back down next to them. "🎵 We're all living in the same shit sandwich.🎵"

Angel sang along. "🎵 I sold my soul to a psychopathic freak.🎵" Vaggie frowns and sighs. "🎵 I mask myself, for some fucked up judgy humans.🎵"

Husk laughs and helped the two stand up. "🎵 Haha! And you think that makes you unique? Get outta here, man!🎵" Husk leads Angel to a dance. "🎵 We're both lovers, baby. We're losers, it's okay to be a-🎵"

"🎵 Coked up, dick-suckin hoe?🎵" Vaggie confusingly finished for him.

"🎵 Kid, that's fine by me.🎵" Husk winks.

Vaggie and Angel looked at each other. Vaggie nodded. Angel smiled and sang/strut with confidence. "🎵 I'm a loser, honey, a schmoozer and a dummy! But at least i know I'm not alone.🎵"

"🎵 You're a loser, just like me!🎵" The boys sang.

Vaggie watches as Husk and Angel sing. A genuine smile appears on her face. Those two are cute together. Husk is right. It's okay to be a loser! She sang to herself. "🎵 We're all losers and just maybe if we eat shit together, things will end up differently!🎵"

Vaggie and Angel begin humming as Husk finished it off. "🎵 It's time to lose your self-loathing. Excuse yourself, let hope in, baby. Play your card, be who you are. A loser, just like-🎵"

"There they are!" The shark gang Husk and Vaggie pissed off ran out. "They're fucking singing?! Get em!"

They furiously fire at the trio. The three hid behind a car. Husk gets his dices out. "Stay down. I'll deal with this."

Husk kills each goon with relative ease using his cards, but had trouble with one goon jumping on his back, until Angel also pulls out one of his firearms and obliterates the demon. "Eat lead, sucka!!" He lends a hand to Husk. "I told ya, i can handle myself baby."

Vaggie covers her ears as Angel and Husk kills the gang until she hears it over. She peeks out and saw Angel and Husk banged up and covered in the goons blood.

"Well, that was something i didn't expect to see." Husk said.

Angel moves his hair back. "Like i said, you don't know me. Sex ain't the only thing I'm good at."

"Good to know, cause this guy ain't that bad." Husk smirked. Vaggie saw all this. 'Oh, i definitely ship them.'

She goes over to Angel. "Angel, i-i-i'm sorry...for what i said a few weeks ago. I-i never meant to-"

"Vaggie." Angel interrupts. "It's okay, it's in the past now." She smiled a tiny bit.

🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋🕷🍺🦋

They returned to the hotel laughing. "He had like 3 bills, and it took him 30 minutes to count them. His eyes are so shit!"

Husk chuckled. "Hehe, and this is the guy you gotta take orders from?"

"I know! What a fucking joke, right?" Charlie suddenly rushes to Angel in relief and hugs him tightly. "I'm so sorry, Angel! I promise i won't ever, ever, ever, ever-"

"Charlie, it's fine. I get it." Angel pats her head. "Thanks...for caring for me. And ah'm sorrt for yelling at you."

Charlie just starts crying more. Angel picks her up and looks at Vaggie. "Ehh, i think this is yours."

Vaggie holds her. "Okay missy, let's get you to bed."

Vaggie carries Charlie to bed, feeling like she's finally starting to understand Angel.

Chapter 16: One Month Later

Vaggie sat on her bed, writing in her diary. "Dear diary, it's been exactly one month since the hotel opened and we've been given a new deadline for the exterminations. We haven't managed to redeem anyone thus far, but i think we're making at least some progress with Angel."

Vaggie paused in her writing so she flap her wrists for a bit before continuing. "The others haven't learned that I'm an exorcist yet...or that I'm Autistic. I'm just worried that if they do...they'll all hate me...anyway, I'm gonna stop before this gets deep." She closed her diary shut.

Vaggie sighed as she got up and started to pace back and forth, getting all stimmy. She grabs her octopus fidget toy and plays with it, making vocal stim noises.

Charlie knocks on the door and peeks her head in. "Hey Vaggie! I was wondering if you could-" She saw her girlfriend was being a happy stimming moth. She decided to give her some privacy and walks away with a smile.

Hopefully, Vaggie can start allowing herself to unmask in front of the others.

Chapter 17: Late nights

Vaggie sat alone in the lobby, rereading the books about Alastor. She let out a groan of frustration. "Uhhhh, why can't i find anything about him? The only thing i know about him so far was that he won against Husk and owns his soul...note to self, try to convince Al to let him go."

She lets out a tired yawn. She might have a habit of staying up late since her brains so wired at night. 'No! I can't fall asleep now! Stay...awake...'

She falls face first on the table, asleep.

🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋🕷🦋

It was late when Angel found her.

He couldn't sleep so he went downstairs to get a glass of cold milk when he noticed Vaggie passed out on the couch.

Angel blinks, not sure what to do. On one hand, bringing her to bed would risk waking her up and he did not want to deal with a sleep deprived Vaggie. Yet on the other hand, he can't exactly leave her like this.

Letting out a sigh, he picks up the books and stacks them up. Next, he grabs Vaggie and placed her in a more comfortable position. Then he placed a pillow under her head and drapes a pink blanket over her.

Angel moves her bangs out of her face. "Night kid..." He whispers under his breath before walking off, not noticing the tiny smirk on Vaggie's face

Chapter 18: Garfield

Being a Garfield fan, Vaggie noticed some similarities between the titular cat and Husk. Both hate Mondays, are cynical, and often lazy.

So she goes and got him a Garfield themed mug for his coffee and booze. "Here Husk, i got this for you." Husk looks at the mug that says 'Fuck Mondays.' "So, do you like it?"

"It's perfect." Husk smiled. "This Garfield guy seems like my kind of cat."

"Well, he's kinda like you. The difference is that he's an orange tabby and is obsessed with lasagna."

Husk shrugged. "I like a lil lasagna myself. In fact I'm hungry for one one right now. Want some?"

"Sure." Vaggie didn't really eat today and some lasagna sounds good.

Angel was on his way to the kitchen. "Someone say lasagna? I can make some!"

Vaggie licks her lips. "Would you? I hardly ate anything. Too much paperwork."

Angel ruffles her hair. "On it, Vaggs."

Husk pours booze into his new mug. "I actually would be interested to watch some old Garfield episodes afterward."

Vaggie smiled big. "Oh, you are going to love it Husk!"

The three ate dinner and watched on the TV in the lobbg Garfield episodes from the 80s. And Husk was laughing! "Hahaha! Okay, that was funny! Guy just can't catch a break on a Monday!"

"Yeah, fuck Mondays!" Angel yelled.

Vaggie smiled. "I'm glad we're bonding over this. You both are great to be around."

Chapter 19: You know, i heard that plushies are good for comfort

Vaggie sat on her bed, pondering about something that has been in her head for a bit. Eventually, she gets up and walks to where Pentious is. "Pent, Husk was lying when he said you watch us sleep...?" She wants to know if he saw her sleeping with plushies.

Pentious winced a bit. "Errr...i only saw it once but i didn't want to disssturb you. You jussst looked so adorable sleeping with that bunny!"

Vaggie sighed. "I didn't want anyone to see that plush bunny. But...it can't be helped i suppose. Yes i am a grown woman that needs a plushy. I know it sounds childish but...Bunny is very special to me. She's been there for me through many hard parts of my life and was a birthday gift from my mother." She explained.

Pent listened. "It truly means that much to you, hm?" She nodded. "You won't judge me, right?"

Pentious...shook his head. "Of courssse not! I'd never!"

Vaggie looks up at him in surprise. "Wait really?? You're not relentlessly tease me and call me a baby??"

Pentious looks shocked that she would think that. "What?? No! Whose been doing such dreadful things to you over a stuffed animal you cherished?? Isss someone in this hotel mistreating you?!"

Vaggie shook her head. "No. It was back when i was alive and by some high school mean girls that may have caused me to have social anxiety." She said all that in a completely casual tone as if being picked on is normal for her.

"Wh-what??" Pentious found himself feeling protective of her. Like an uncle would with their niece. Why on bloody earth would anyone want to pick on her just for keeping something sentimental?!

"Well that'll never happen again while I'm around." He swore. "If anyone dared to make fun of you, they'll have to deal with the great Sssir Pentious!"

Vaggie blinks before smiling. "Thanks, I appreciate it...but don't tell anyone about this! Got it?"

Pentious nodded.

Chapter 20: Queen Roach

Summary:

TW: roaches, dead insects used as puppets

Niffty was in the vents, stabbing roaches for her puppet show. "Hehe, that's all of them~"

She pops out of the vents, jumpscaring Vaggie. "Mierda!" Vaggie lets her heart rate go back to a normal pace. "Niffty, what were you doing in the dusty dirty vents?"

"I was just collecting some roaches for my puppet show!" Niffty giggles. "Wanna see??"

Vaggie looks slightly unsettled but smiled nervously. If she wants to be friends with everyone, she has to get used to their bizarre interests. "Uhh, sure...!"

🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼🦋🧼

Niffty puts on a roach puppet show. It seemed based around the play Sweeny Todd.

Despite it being creepy, Vaggie found herself oddly enjoying it. "Huh. Not bad!"

Niffty smiled. "Really?"

Vaggie nodded. "Yeah, really. Kinda morbid, but i liked it!"

Chapter 21: Questions and Answers

Vaggie was asking Alastor questions for her research. "Okay! So, what was your life like alive?"

"In the beginning there was me, momma and, unfortunately, my father in a little home in Louisiana." Alastor answered.

Vaggie tilts her head. "Do you not have a good relationship with your dad?"

"No. Drunken prick...! That un morceau de merde!" He swore in french.

"Uh, Al?" Vaggie said in worry. Alastor quickly shook his head. "Pardon me, continue!"

"What's your mother like?" She asked next. Alastor sighed in bliss. "Oh, she was the best mother ever! She cheers me up when I'm feeling blue, makes the best jambalaya in New Orleans, and encourage me to keep on smiling!"

Vaggie smiled. "She sounds great. So, when you died...how did you rose to power and became an overlord?"

"Er...that's confidential." Was what he said. She raised an eyebrow. "Okay...? What about why you've been gone for 7 years?"

"Also confidential." Vaggie sighed, she should've suspected this. "Okay, so do you really not remember Pentious or do you pretend you don't to get a rise out of him?"

"The second one dear. He failed so many times it's almost pitiful." Alastor snickered.

Vaggie playfully rolls her eye. "Alright, last question...the first time we met when you ate that demon in the alleyway...why did you let me go? You could've easily eat me to leave no witness but you didn't...why?"

"I felt something that day. A spark i never felt before. Something was telling me that someday you'd need me. I don't know why but seeing you for the first time...i felt something warm in my cold black heart."

Vaggie felt herself touched by what he said. He really was protective over her...

She stood up. "I-i think that's enough for today! Bye!!" She left. Both her and Alastor have the same thought...

'Why am i feeling attached to him/her?'

Chapter 22: Vaggie's Trust Fall

Vaggie and Charlie were laying in bed when Vaggie suddenly spoke up. "Hon, i think i'm ready to tell everyone about my Autism."

Charlie looks at her in surprise. "Hon, are you sure?"

Vaggie nodded. "Yes, I've gotten close to the others here. I think i can trust them."

Charlie smiled. "Oh Vaggie, I'm so proud of you! You're getting out of your shell!" She gives Vaggie's forehead a kiss.

Vaggie smiled back. "And i know just how I'm going to come out."

🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋👑🦋

The next day, Vaggie stood up on the trust fall stage. "Everyone, i need your attention!" Everyone looks at the stage, curious about what she has to say.

She looks at Charlie who gave her a thumbs up. Vaggie took a deep breath. "I want you all to know...that I'm on the Autism spectrum. I didn't tell you all at first because i was worried that you would all tease and make fun of me..."

She turned around and lets herself fall...and everyone catches her.

"Oh Vagatha, we would never make fun of you for sssomething like that!"

"Yeah, i think your good just the way you are miss Vaggie!"

"Yeah Vaggs, ye don't have to mask yourself around us."

"What they said, We understand your struggles kid."

"Indeed, Your still Vagatha to us, dear!"

Vaggie felt herself getting slightly emotional. They all still love her...even if they don't know her other secret. "Oh guys...i love you all so much!"

Chapter 23: Thanks Dad

Notes:

I did an encanto reference, now time for a Brooklyn 99 reference!

"Hey Alastor, did you get the papers i left at your desk?" Vaggie asked Alastor.

"Yes, i looked them over. Nice work." Alastor said.

"Cool, thanks dad." Vaggie unintentionally said. Immediately, EVERYONE at the lobby stopped and looked at her. "Why is everyone staring at me?"

"You just called Alastor dad. You said, 'thanks dad'." Husk reminds her with her a smug look.

"What? No i didn't! I said 'Thanks Al!'" Vaggie denied.

"Do you see me as a father figure, Vagatha?" Alastor asked, his cold dead heart feeling warm.

"No. If anything, i see you as a bother figure cause you're always bothering me!" Vaggie lied, and quite horribly may i add.

"Hey! You ssshow your father some respect!" Pentious spoke up, to Vaggie's annoyance.

"I didn't call him dad!"

"It's fine Vaggie!" Charlie said, trying to make her feel better.

"Yeah, you call him that alot! I know. I watch you through the vents~" Niffty smiled creepily, being the unhinged gremlin that she is.

Vaggie, while creeped out, tried to deflect the attention onto Niffty. "See! Niffty is unhinged! Focus on that!"

Angel waved her off. "Oh, that's old news. But you calling Alastor 'daddy' isn't." He smirked in that teasing way, like an older brother teasing his younger sister.

Vaggie rolls her eye. "No, no. Daddy was not what i said. And be quiet, you've been nothing but lying all day."

Angel shrugged. "Alright, the drugs i was lying about. But ya did called him dad."

"Ah ha!" Vaggie points at him dramatically. "He admitted he has a drug stash! It was all apart of my plan!"

Absolutely no one believed her. "I believe you." Alastor said.

Vaggie smiled. "Thank you-"

"Daughter."

Vaggie blushed, embarrassed. "Do you want to talk about it later over a bowl of jambalaya?" Alastor offered.

"...I'd like that." Vaggie responded, smiling. And that's how Vaggie got a new dad that day.

Chapter 24: Dad Beat Dad (Part One)

It's been 5 months ever since the hotel started. By now, Vaggie has come to see everyone as her family. Alastor is her adoptive dad, Angel is like a big brother to her, Niffty is like a chaotic sister, and Husk and Pentious were like uncles to her.

One morning, she woke up and saw that Charlie was not with her in bed. "Charlie?" She got herself dressed up and came downstairs to see Charlie panicking and planning out everything with lots of paper with strings attached with everyone else watching her, disturbed by het behavior.

"Yikes." Angel cringed. Vaggie grew worried. "Charlie? Sweetie? You good?"

Charlie looks back with a sleep-deprived insane look in her eyes. "Nope, no! Not really! Haha! I've been up all night trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working! We've done trust falls, we've tried sharing our feelings! We only have a couple months left before the angels!" She turns into her demonic form and laughs maniacally before turning back to normal. "And at this rate-!"

Vaggie watches in concern. "Maybe it's time-"

"No!" Charlie yelled, knowing what she's about to say.

"To ask-"

Charlie gets up close to Vaggie's face, holding her cheeks desperately. "Don't say it!"

"Your dad." Vaggie managed to say. Charlie groans, knowing what this means for her. "Charlie, i know you don't want to, but we need every advantage we can get."

"He let the extermination happen to begin with. They just had a meeting said, 'Go ahead and kill everyone!'" Charlie rants before she got an idea. "Wait. That's it!"

"Kill everyone?"

Charlie shook her head. Vaggie can take things literal at times. "No! He could get me with heaven!"

Vaggie blinks and tilts her head. "Didn't we already try that?"

"Well, yeah, with Adam. He was an asshole. But he isn't in charge of all of heaven. We could go to the top! There's sure to be some angels will listen." Charlie said before getting her phone out. She scrolls through her contacts before seeing her dad's. However, she was hesitant to call him.

"What's the holdup? You got daddy issues?" Husk correctly guessed.

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

"Daddy issues." Husk confirmed to Vaggie and Pentious.

"Well, i'd like to meet the big dick in charge." Angel said. Niffty was holding a knife in her hands. "The ultimate bad boy." She laughs like a gremlin with excitement while Angel takes her knife away without her knowing. "I bet he's scary."

Charlie takes a deep breath before calling Lucifer. "Come on dad, pick up..."

Suddenly, he answered. "Hey, bitch!" They can hear from the other end.

"Hi, dad." Charlie nervously greeted.

"Hey! How are you? Wh-wh-where are you these days?" The king asked.

"You know where i am dad. I've told you before."

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

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

"No, no, no, no. Just, you know, just forgot. I've just been really busy! Ya know, with, um...important things."

"Well, i'm actually running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners. Maybe you saw our commercial."

"Oh...sadly, i missed it. You know i haven't been watching TV lately. Scrambles the brain!"

'Well, he's not wrong.' Vaggie thought as she stands next to Charlie as support.

Charlie sighs. "Listen, dad, I've got...kind of a big ask." On the other side of the phone, they can hear Lucifer nearly choke on whatever he was drinking. "Yeah, of course. Anything in my power is yours for the asking. You just name it~"

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

Lucifer immediately changed his mind. "Oh, no. No. No, no, no, no, Charlie, no, no, no. That's, uh hah, no."

Charlie groans. "Look dad, i don't ask you for much, i never have, but this is really important to me." Angel has a genuine smile on his face when she said that. "It's the most important thing I've ever done. And i...i need you. I need your help."

"I don't know, Charlie..."

"Please, just come see what I'm trying to do. You'll see why it's a really good idea. And heaven is bound to agree if i get the chance to talk to them. Please, dad." Charlie begged.

"Wait. You're...inviting me over? Absolutely! I'll be there in an hour!" Lucifer hangs up.

Charlie smiled that her dad agreed. All they need to do is to get him on board. "Welp, we have an hour until he gets here."

Vaggie used her commander tone again. "Okay people!" Everyone stands at attention, but Husk spills his drink over himself and Niffty falls on the floor. "Lucifer is on his way. So we are going to get this place presentable and we are going to make an amazing impression. Vamanos!" Everyone except Husk scatter off.

Chapter 25: Dad Beat Dad (Part Two)

Notes:

Happy Disability Pride Month!

Everyone gets ready for Lucifer's arrival. Pentious and Niffty bake cookies while Razzle and Dazzle set up a 'Wellcum Daddy' banner that Angel obviously wrote.

Vaggie noticed Alastor and goes over to him. "Dad, are you okay? You're smiling but it's your annoyed smile."

"I'm fine, fawnling! Don't worry about it!" Alastor assured her as he and her stood next to Charlie at the doorway.

Charlie took a deep breath. "Okay everyone, it's showtime!"

Charlie opens the door, revealing Lucifer who is excited to see his daughter. "Charlie!"

"Hey, da-" Charlie doesn't get to finish because Lucifer hugs her tight like a bear. Alastor's eye twitches as his smile became strained. This deadbeat dad hasn't seen his daughter in years yet NOW decides to see her?!

"Oh, it's so good to see you, haha!" Lucifer greets. "It's uh, good to see you, too, dad." Lucifer lets go of Charlie to give her a breather. Charlie clears her throat. "Welcome! To the Hazbin Hotel!"

Two Egg Boiz pops some party poppers as a warm welcome. KeeKee curls up to Lucifer and rubs her face against his legs. Lucifer notices her and goes all enchanted by her cuteness. He crouches down and rubs her head. "Oh, hewwo KeeKee!"

Razzle and Dazzle flies over. "Razzle, dazzle. Oh, look how much you haven't grown! Still fun sized. You taking care of my little girl? You better be..." His voice turned threatening for a bit.

Lucifer looks around the hotel. "Wow, this place sure looks, uh...uh-huh. Yeah, uh-huh. It's got a lot of character."

Lucifer finds the bar at the corner and was immediately repulsed by it. "OH! What in the unholy hell is that?!"

Alastor came out from the shadows. "Just some of the renovations we had done. Adds a bit of color, don't you think?"

Lucifer looks at him suspiciously. "And you are?" Alastor suddenly appeared behind him. "Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sir. Quite a pleasure!" He shook the king's staff and wipes his hand in somewhat hidden disgust. "It's nice to finally put a face to the name. You are much shorter in real life."

"Who is this? Who is this now? Are you the bellhop?" Lucifer asked.

"Haha! No! I am the host of the hotel. You might have heard me from my radio broadcast."

"Hmm. Nope! I guess that's why Charlie called it the Has-been Hotel! Hahaha!" Lucifer laughs as he nudges Charlie.

Alastor let out an obvious fake laugh. "Ha ha ha! It was actually my idea."

"Ha ha na! Well, it's not very clever!"

"Ha ha! Fuck you." Vaggie immediately dropped the cookie she was nibbling on. Did her adoptive dad just swear?!

Charlie thankfully stepped in before things could get heated. "Okay! Okay, anyway. Dad, look at this lovely parlor where people can get to know each other and share secrets and stories and intimate feelings!" Charlie gushed as she shows Lucifer the parlor.

"Well, without Alastor, we wouldn't be able to have a fixed up hotel." Vaggie smiled at her dad in appreciation as Alastor walks over to her.

"Charlie has a very unique vision. I am happy to fulfill her bizarre requests along with whatever my previous fawnling wants of me." He placed his hand on Vaggie's shoulder, absolutely loving the jealous look that Lucifer is giving him. 'Hehe, that means I'm the better father!'

Vaggie smiled and lays her head on Alastor's shoulder. "Quite an impressive young lady. I'm so very proud of her!"

Lucifer clears his throat. "Charlie, dear, why don't you introduce me to your OTHER friends?" He gestured to the others.

"Oh, yes, of course." Charlie started with Vaggie. She brings her over to her father once Alastor lets go of her. "This is Vaggie. She's my girlfriend!"

Vaggie smiled nervously. She's meeting THE Lucifer, the KING of motherfucking hell! Be cool Vaggie, be cool!

"Oh ho my golly! You like girls? So do i! We have so much in common! You put er there, Maggie!" He pulls her in for a bear hug. Now both of Alastor's eyes are twitching. He is surprisingly strong for someone small! "She's so pretty."

"Uh, lovely to meet you, uh, sir!" Vaggie greets once he let go of her.

"And this is Sir Pentious and Angel Dust, our guests!" Charlie introduced Angel and Pentious next. The cobra was trying to stop the spider from taking the cookies.

Pentious hears his name being called and stands at attention, saluting to the king. "Your majesty!"

Pentious falls down into the cookies right before Angel takes one for himself. "Heya, short king~" Angel said in a flirty tone.

"Husk is our bartender, and Niffty is our housekeeper." Charlie finished off the introductions.

"Nice to meet you." Husk is the only one that greets him normally.

Niffty was super-excited to meet the ultimate bad boy that she scurries over and climbs up on his coat. "Hello. I clean. Hehehehe."

Suddenly, the chandelier falls and makes a huge amount of dust which makes everyone except Alastor and Lucifer cough.

Lucifer laughs as Alastor glares at him. "Alright, then." With one swing of his own stick, the fallen chandelier disappeared and starts to singing like the Genie from Aladdin

"🎵 Looks like you could use some help, from the big boss of Hell himself. Check out Daddy's glowing reviews on Yelp! 🎵"

"🎵 Five starts! Flawless! Greater than great! 🎵" Charlie and Vaggie both lean back from the Lucifer puppets.

"🎵 With a punch of a pentagram, i Wap! Bam! Boom! Alakazam! Usually i charge a sacrificial lamb, but you get the family rate! 🎵"

"Thanks dad!" Said both Charlie and the Lucifer clones. They suddenly found themselves in a restaurant with Alastor as a busboy.

"🎵 Who needs a busboy now that you've got the chef? Michelin tasting menu free a la carte. I'll rig the game for you because I'm the ref! Champagne fountains, caviar mountains, that's just to start! 🎵"

That's when Alastor took over. "🎵 Who's dad been here since day one? Who's been faithful as a nun? Makes you chuckle with an old-timey pun? Your executive producer! 🎵"

"That's true!" Vaggie nodded in agreement.

"🎵 I'm your guy, your day-to-day, your chum, your steadfast hotelier. Remember when i fixed that clog today? 🎵"

"I was stuck. Thank you, sir!" Niffty thanks as she hugs him.

"Oh you!" Charlie smiled at him. Alastor suddenly grabs Vaggie and twirls her around.

"🎵 Vagatha, I'm truly honored that we build such a bond! You're like the child that I wish that I had! I care for you just like the daughter I spawned!🎵" Alastor sang to her.

Vaggie felt herself getting teary eyed. He really cares that much about her...!

"Hold on now!" Lucifer tried to say when Alastor smugly used him as an armrest.

"🎵 It's a little funny, you could almost call me...DAAAAAAAD!🎵"

Angered, Lucifer plays a golden fiddle aggressively as he gets closer to Alastor. Suddenly, a piano drops out of the sky and Alastor plays the piano aggressively. Lucifer then plays the accordion horribly out of tune with the song. This. Means. War.

"🎵 They say when you're looking for assistance, it's smart to pick the path with least resistance! 🎵"

"🎵 Others say that in your needy hour, there's no substitute for pure angelic power! Who just so happens to also be your blood! 🎵"

"🎵 Sadly there are times a birth parent is a dud. They say the family you choose is better! 🎵"

"What a bunch of losers!" Alastor gets hit by apple cider before he shoves Lucifer away. "Can you butt out of my song?"

"Your song? I started this!"

"I'm singing it, I'll finish it!"

"OH, YOU TACKY PIECE OF-!"

Right before Lucifer and Alastor could get at each other's throats to kill, the front door opens as a flapper girl butts into the song. "🎵 It's me! Yes, it's me! I know you were all waiting for me! I'm here! What a gas! Took a while but I'm present at last! It's me! It's me! Mimzzzyyyyyyyy!"

Everyone states at the newcomer. "...Who?"

Chapter 26: Dad Beat Dad (Part Three)

"Didn't you just hear me?" Everyone stares at the new sinner in confusion. "Why is everybody gawkin? Is it cuz I'm adorable!"

"Mimzy!" Alastor greeted with a smile. "Hola Tia MiMi!" Vaggie waved happily at her aunt figure. Alastor had introduced her to Mimzy when he adopted her.

"Alastooorr, Vaggiee, sweetie, doll-face! So good to see you two! How you been? Good? Good." Mimzy and Alastor hug each other. "Listen, i was in the neighborhood. I heard you were staying at this ritzy slob factory, and I figured I'd stop by, say hi! For old times sake."

"Of course, sweetheart! Everyone is welcome here!" Alastor smiled.

Charlie walks over. "Oh, how nice! So you two know each other?"

"Oh, yeah, we go way back, ran in the same circles when we were alive. You know, this one used to frequent the club where i used to perform. He's the only one i knew who could pound whiskey like a sailor then keep up with me on the dance floor." Mimzy reminisce.

"Oh, quite a talent, this gal. Ho ho, you should have seen her in her hayday!" Alastor remembered.

"Hey, watch it tall, dark and creepy. I'm still in my prime!" Mimzy spots Lucifer in the open, and was immediately entrance with the sight of the king of hell. "Oh, oh my stars! Is that Lucifer?" She pushes Pentious out of the way. "Move it! Pleased to meetcha, your highness." She bows before whispering to Alastor. "Alastor, you gotta warn a girl when she's in mixed company."

"Charmed, I'm sure." Said Lucifer. Alastor walks over. "As much as I'd love to catch up, Charlie and I have a tour to continue."

Lucifer heard this and takes his daughter by the arms before dragging her away. "I'm sure Charlie can handle showing me around."

Alastor appears in front of them. "Nonsense! We started the hotel together, and we'll show it off together. Right, Charlie?"

"Oh, right." Charlie leads the tour with Vaggie, Lucifer and Alastor following behind.

🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌🎵🦌

In the creepy dark hallways, Charlie was showing her father about the interiors of the hotel. "So, once we have the proof that redemption is possible, this whole hotel will be full of demons wanting to check out into heaven! We just need a little time to prove it. The sharing circles haven't been working as fast as i hoped-"
While Charlie was in the middle of explaining everything to her father, Vaggie noticed Husk going to Alastor about something. "Ey, boss? Can i have a word...?"

She flinches when he twists his head 180 degrees to face Husk before turning to him fully. "What is it?"

Vaggie didn't want to eavesdrop so she continues walking ahead to catch up. She stumbled a bit when the lights suddenly flickered and green energy is seen. She bits her lip as she walks a bit faster. She really hopes uncle Husk didn't say anything to anger her dad...

Later at the tour, Vaggie was taking her turn explaining more about the hotel, notably Angel. "And we've almost been able to find all of hermano's drug stashes...almost."

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

"Well, that certainly is, uh...is-is something." Lucifer said as the three are on the balcony.

"So...what do you think?" Charlie asked.

"About what?"

"The hotel."

"Oh yes, it does...it does look much better now, doesn't it? But I'm thinking this railing needs work, one good push and you'd just go right over the edge! Whoopie, bye bye!" Lucifer chuckled.

Vaggie looks at Charlie, concerned. "How long has he been by himself...?"

Charlie groans. "What? No, no, the plan, dad! What do think about using the hotel to help sinners?" Charlie asked in exasperation.

No matter how much Lucifer hates to admit it, he wanta Charlie to get one thing straight about what her plans are going. "Alright, i mean, look...i love that you want to see the best in people, but these sinners...you know, they're just the worst. I-i don't know how much you can realistically expect from them in heaven." He adjusted his collar. "Hohooo boy, heaven is not exactly as carefree as you might think. Yeah, they have rules. Lots of rules, and they aren't very open minded as you'd hope."

Vaggie looks away. Lucifer is right...heaven is not really open minded...she still remembers how Adam would talk to her in a condescending tone whenever she stims and whenever she voices her concerns about exterminating sinners, Lute would always tell her to shut up...

Vaggie was snapped out of her thoughts when a loud thud shakes the hotel, rocking the three of them on the balcony. "Geez! What now?!"

"Well, like that."

To prove his point, Lucifer gesture to a dozen of loan sharks on the ground holding a battering ram. "Mimzy! We know you're in there you lousy bitch!"

A portal opens up by Lucifer and all three of them return to the lobby as the loan sharks continues to ram the front door. "Que carajo?!" Vaggie yelled.

"What's going on?" Charlie wants to know.

"I maaaaaaay be in trouble with some loan sharks i may or may not have borrowed fifty grand from-eep!" Scared, Mimzy cowers behind the bar counter to hide before peeking up to Charlie and Vaggie. "And i may have also stolen a car...and crashed it...into the loan shark's girlfriend. But that bitch had it coming!"

"Oh Tia Mimzy..." Vaggie shook her head.

Suddenly, the windows and the walls were barraged with fireballs from the outside. The windows crashed and the floors are mentored with the fireballs. "My windows!" Yelled Niffty.

"Ah! We're under siege!" Pentious dodges a fireball. "Take cover!"

Everyone in the hotel scrambles in panic and defense as more fireballs fall down on them. Vaggie quickly tackled Angel out of the way. "Hermano, look out!"

Vaggie gets her spear out and runs over to Niffty and Pentious. "Vaggs, be careful!" Angel worried. That girl is going to get herself killed!

"All of you, get to a safe distance! I'll take care of this..." Vaggie glares before Alastor suddenly appeared.

"No my fawn, leave this to me. It's time to watch your old man at work, and time to remind everyone why i am here~" His eyes became pitch black with red radio dials.

"Ugh, finally. Took you long enough!" Mimzy said from hiding behind the bar.

"A reminder to all...not to mess with the RADIO DEMON!"

Alastor laughs evily as he skewers the sharks with his tentacles. He crawls out of the hotel in his giant kajiu form. "I wIlL dEvOuR eAcH aNd EvErYoNe Of YoU!"

Vaggie stood next to Angel, Husk, and Pentious. She's not paying attention to Charlie and Lucifer arguing or Angel and Husk eating popcorn. All she can focus on is her dad as he utterly slaughtered the loan sharks. Only one thing came into her head: 'My dad is so cool!'

Alastor reverts back to his normal size. "Oh, i miss getting to let off steam!"

Vaggie immediately ran out to him. "Dad, that was awesome! You were like a giant! The blood, the violence, i have the best dad ever!!" She squeals as she stimflaps happily.

Alastor smiled and pats her head. "Thank you, sweet daughter of mine."

Mimzy came out. "Oh, Alastor! What a fantastic show! Bravo as always! Thanks for helping little ol me out of a tough spot. You're always such a pal!" A piece of rubble falls. "Oops, sorry about the mess. But I'm sure the little bug can clean it up for you."

"I think you should go Mimzy, now." Alastor spoke up, to Mimzy's surprise.

"Oh, Alastor. You're such a kiddy, you. You are so funny." Mimzy said, not taking his request seriously.

"I mean it. You deliberately caused damage just to have me clean up your mess. I can't have that here..."

"But you love taking care of me! What, you don't actually give a shit about this tacky place? Come on, i know you. You heartless son of a bitch~" Mimzy pokes Alastor on the chest 3 times.

Alastor removed Mimzy off of him. "You are welcome if you actually want to give redemption a shot. But i think we both know that's not really your style. So you need to leave..."

Mimzy scoffed. "Well fine! Who needs ya? Have fun with your little hotel. See if i care!" She flips Alastor off as she storms off.

A concerned Vaggie goes over to him. "Dad, is...everything okay?"

Al took a deep breath. "It's fine fawn...I'm fine."

They head back inside and found Charlie and Lucifer singing a beautiful father-daughter duet. "🎵 More than anything, more than anything! I need to save my people more than anything! 🎵"

"🎵 I've been dying to find out who you are! 🎵"

"🎵 I've been waiting, wanting to same thing!🎵"

"🎵 Looks like the apple doesn't fall far.🎵"

"🎵 Took you a while!🎵"

"🎵I've missed that smile!🎵"

"🎵 All that I'm hoping, now that my eyes are open, is that we can start again, not be pulled apart again!🎵"

As they sang, Alastor and Vaggie looked at each other. The deer gently wraps his arm around his adopted daughter and pulls her close. This just so happened to be during the line "🎵 I'm grateful you're my father/daughter more than anything!🎵"

"Aww! That was sssweet!" Pentious awws once Charlie and Lucifer reconnected.

Lucifer sighs. "Alright, i can get you the meeting to heaven. But once you're there i...won't be able to go with you. Will you be alright?"

"I'll be fine dad." Charlie said as she holds his hand. Lucifer let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Take care kiddo..."

He teleported away. Vaggie walks over. "This next part will be scary. You ready?"

Charlie hugs her. "I'm ready. Because you'll be here with me."

Vaggie smiled and hugs back as she closed her eye...only to immediately open her eye and tensed up. "In spirit, right?"

"In heaven!"

Heaven...the place where she's been kicked out and where she used to be a demon killing exorcist..."Yay...!"

This is not going to be fun for her.

Chapter 27: Nightmares

Vaggie stood in front of everyone, horrified. She didn't know how...but everyone at the hotel found out she was an exorcist. "Guys, just-just let me explain-!"

"Yer a fucking traitor!" Angel points accusation in his tone.

"Probably a spy sent by Adam." Husk sneers. "N-no! I'm not! I-i mean, i used to but not anymore!" Vaggie tried to defend herself. "Hermano, tio, please listen!"

"Don't fucking talk ta us, bitch! Fer all we know, ya were probably just gaining our trust so you can kill us!" Angel accused.

"No!!" Vaggie cried. She reaches out to Alastor. "Dad you know I'm not-!"

"I have no daughter." Alastor suddenly said. Vaggie froze up, tears starting to fill up her eye.

Alastor, her adoptive dad, even thinks she's a murderer. She's being disowned and abandoned...just like her old family...

"I've changed...i promised! I'm not like the other exorcists anymore!!" She begged for them to hear her out, tears falling down her face.

Charlie came into view. "Vaggie, you lied about who you were by omnision. And i can't trust you ever again. I want you to get out."

Vaggie felt her heart break. "Wh-what...?"

"You are hereby banished from this hotel." Vaggie is now full on sobbing. "Ch-Charlie...pl-please-"

Angel suddenly grabbed her wrist, his nails practically digging into her skin. "You heard her! Yer not welcome here anymore, NOW GET THE FUCK OUT!!!" He threw her out the hotel's doors.

Vaggie lands on the ground harshly. "No...nonononono!!!!!" The hotel disappeared, leaving the ex angel all alone.

Vaggie collapsed onto her knees and just completely broke down in tears. Her family, the one that she always wanted, now hates her...'Charlie...Angel...Alastor...Husk...Niffty...Pentious...I'm so sorry...i just wanted a family that loves me...'

But...in a flash, she's awake, had someone shaken her? "Vaggie, wake up!" She can hear a voice calling out to her.

"Huh...?" She turned her head and saw a concerned Charlie staring at her. "Mi amor...it-it was all a...dream...?"

"You were yelling in your sleep. Saying stuff like 'Don't leave me' and 'I'm sorry.'" Charlie frowns. "Were you dreaming back to the day your old dad left you?"

Vaggie gulps. "N-not exactly dad...it-it was the rest of my old family...after my mom died, they all just couldn't wait to get rid of me! So, they all just up and left me..."

Charlie had her hands on her mouth. "Ohhh Vaggie..." Charlie hugs her gently. "Hon? Pr-promise you and the others won't leave me like they did?"

"I swear it on my fathers name!" Charlie promised before kissing her forehead in comfort.

Vaggie has so much she wants to admit...but she's scared of what will happen if she does admit...

Chapter 28: Welcome To Heaven (Part One)

Vaggie sat on the bed as she watches Charlie packs clothes into a suitcase. "Ok, i have my warm weather clothes and my cold weather clothes. I have a light jacket, flak jacket and rain jacket-wait, does it rain in heaven?"

"Charlie, you're only going to heaven for a few hours." Vaggie reminds her.

"Vaggie, we are only going to heaven for a day. And i just want to be prepared! It's our last chance to convince heaven a soul can be redeemed." Charlie said as she paces a bit.

Vaggie really doesn't want to go, so she tries to think of an excuse to get out of it. "Yeah, i wish i could come, sweetie, but i have that...thing."

"What thing?" Charlie asked. "The thing with the...thing uhm...fuck, gah, i'm such a bad liar." Vaggie groans.

Charlie holds Vaggie's hand. "Vaggie, you're my partner, i need you there with me."

Vaggie sighs. "Fine."

"Yes!!" Charlie hugs and kisses Vaggie's cheek. Once they got themselves packed up, they head down to the lobby with their luggage when the wall explodes again.

"What the fuck is with that wall?!" Angel groans. "I am not telling dad about this!" Vaggie facepalmed.

"What up, hoes!" A female Australian voice was heard. Angel hears the laughter and immediately gets up from the couch with excitement.

"Holy shit! Cherri Bomb?! Long time no see, baby!" Angel smiled.

Cherri jumps into the room. "Angie, ya bitch! You been texting me depressing shit all day! Figured we could tear shit up like old times. It's been fucking forever! Here, hold this."

She gives her bomb to Charlie, who freaks out when she saw it was still lit. "Ah! Oh my god! Oh my god!"

"Nope, gimme that." Vaggie took the bomb from her and throws it out of the now broken wall. She covered her ears as it explodes. 'Really hope i didn't destroy anything important....'

"I love seeing ya Cherri, but I'm too tired. I need to pass out." Angel tries falling back down onto the couch, but Cherri catches and pulls him back up.

"You can sleep when you're double dead, fuckhead! Come on, what you really need is a recharge! A reinvigoration, a re-"

"Responsible night on the town! That is a great idea! Hi!" Charlie shakes the cyclops hand. "Charlie! That's my wall that you just blew up. It's so nice to meet one of Angel's friends! He never brings anyone around."

Cherri snorts. "Wonder why."

"Yeah, me too." Charlie answered obliviously. "Anyway, Angel and everyone else have been working so hard, i think they deserve to have a little fun."

"W-w-wait, they?" Cherri asked. Vaggie guessed that that the bomber was probably only here for Angel.

"Yeah! Hi, everyone!" Charlie waves over to Husk and Niffty. Husk doesn't seem to care much, but Niffty is shaking so fast that shaking rattling sounds can be heard from her. "Angel and his friend are taking you all out for a night of fun and relaxation!"

"Wait, I'm only here for Ang-" Cherri tried to say before Charlie hands her a large stack of money. "Ooh! Never mind, let's go!"

"Make sure they have the best time tonight! Anyway, the portal to heaven should be opening right about..."

Just as Charlie predicted, the portal to heaven opens in the middle of the lobby. "Now!"

Vaggie tried to sneak out when no one was looking but Charlie grabs and yeets her into the portal. "Bye!" Charlie waved goodbye to the others before she entered the portal.

Vaggie looks up and saw the golden heavenly gates. 'Christ on a stick...!'

Chapter 29: Welcome To Heaven (Part Two)

Charlie and Vaggie stood in front of the golden gates of heaven as the portal closes behind them. "Vaggie, look at this place! It's so clean! Isn't that amazing?" Charlie squeals.

"Yup, super cool. Heaven. Wow." Vaggie said sarcastically.

Charlie and Vaggie approach the front desk where St. Peter pops up from behind his desk. "Hiya! Welcome to heaven! Can i get your name, please?"

"Oh! Uhhh, uh, uh, Charlie Morningstar!" Charlie greets. Peter opens the book of reservations that are supposed to be a list of names for souls who are to enter heaven. "Charlie Morningstar, hmm. I'm not seeing you on my list here, that's so odd."

"Uh, um, my dad got me this meeting, so maybe...try Lucifer...Morning...star?" Charlie nervously asked.

Peter freaks out upon hearing Lucifer's name. "Oh, fuck! Yeah, hoooo, hehehe. Yikes, am i right?" He flew down in front of them. "Are you sure you're in the right place? Because i think you might be a little lost."

Vaggie is unamused of St. Peter, crossing her arms in disappointment. "Oh, here we go."

"No, uh...we're here for a meeting." Charlie started to explain. Just then, a holy light appears.

"St. Peter. We can take it from here." They locked up to see Sera and Emily in their angelic forms before turning into their humanoid forms as they land in front of Charlie and Vaggie.

"I am Sera, the high seraphim of heaven. You are gifted to be here." Sera greets.

Emily squeals and laughs in excitement as she comes forward to greet them. "Hi! I'm Emily, the other seraphim, though you can call me Em! Emmy, E, whatever you want, i go by whatever. Welcome to heaven!"

A heavenly choir starts to be heard. "Dealy beloved, it is my pleasure to say onto thee...🎵 Welcome to Heaven, oh oh!🎵" St. Peter starts to sing as the gates open, letting them into heaven.

"🎵 Where the virtous reside, 27/7, oh oh! People are happy that they died, cause here we go no worries, got no burglaries, no strife. It's the perfect afterlife! Welcome to Heaven, oh oh!🎵"

St. Peter flies amongst many advertisements in Heaven. "🎵Check out our sick decor! The spirits leaven, oh! Please keep your brimstone off the floor, we've got the best and brightest, the politest of the lot.🎵"

St. Peter flies and poses into a male angels arms, surrounded by many other angels. "🎵And ev-ery-one is hooot!🎵"

Emily sang next. "🎵Gosh, I'm so pleased to show some outsiders around. After you see our realm, you'll never wanna go back down!🎵" She holds Charlie's hands to Vaggie's jealousy. Oh hell no! That's HER princess!

Sera placed her hand on Charlie's shoulder. "🎵Of course it is just temporary, i'm sorry you can't stay.🎵"

Emily and St. Peter grab hands and fly up together. "🎵 Cause every single day in Heaven is a happy day! Welcome to Heaven! Yeah!🎵" Peter pants after finishing the song.

😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

"Okay, i love heaven! Vaggie, did you see the ice cream shop? They had sprinkles made of rainbows!" Charlie gushed as she and Vaggie were in their hotel room. Charlie was laying down on their bed as Vaggie puts down their big tons of luggage.

"Those are just rainbow sprinkles." Vaggie said in exasperation.

Charlie stands up excitedly. "Emily's going to take me to a zoo where all the animals are actually soft! You coming?"

Vaggie sat down. "Uh, my social battery is low right now. I need a break. But hug a koala for me."

"O.M.G! Can you imagine an actual koala? See you later!" Charlie zips right out of the door, leaving Vaggie alone in the room. She lays on the bed and sighs...but then someone knocks on the door.

Vaggie groans. Can she have at least 5 minutes to herself?! She gets up and answered it, revealing none other than...Adam..."Hey there, Vag-asaurus!"

"Charlie will be back soon, you need to get out, now." Vaggie said firmly as she glares.

Adam barges into the room, Lute behind him. "I'm not looking for the blonde, babe. I'm looking for you."

"Why?"

"Maybe cuz you left the band. You tried for a solo career, or i guess it's more of a...duet." Adam got his face close to hers.

Vaggie scoffed as she played dumb, taking a step back. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Do you really think i wouldn't recognize one of my top girls just cuz you're out of uniform?" Vaggie immediately grows pale when she realizes Adam has never forgotten her. "You were on the front lines, i wouldn't forget a bad bitch like you. It's why i named you after the best thing ever: Vaggie."

Vaggie looks annoyed at the soft Gs being used. "Actually, it's pronounced Vaggie."

"Hmmmmm-no. Anyway, you sure fucked up, didn't you?" Vaggie glares darkly. She didn't fucked up. She just refused to be part of causing genocide and spared a child. And what did her ex-comrades did in response? They fucking ripped her wings off and take her eye! "To think someone as worthless as you landed Lilith's little hottie. Grats on that i guess."

"Their love is vile and blasphemous." Lute hissed. Vaggie narrows her single eye on her ex-friend. They once called each other sisters, but after Vaggie rise up in the ranks, Lute started acting cold towards her. Even once telling her that autistic like her shouldn't even be an exorcist.

"Hot as fuck though." Adam chimed in. "But i wonder what your bitch would think if she found out you are actually one of us, hmmm?"

"What do you want?" Vaggie demands. "Simple, you work for me again and at the hearing, you're gonna help me shut this kindergarten snowflake bullshit down for good."

No! No! Not in a million years! There's no way Vaggie's going to betray her girlfriend!! "Never!!! I would rather double die than work for you again!"

"Oh yeah, you know, that's totally cool. I guess I'll just tell miss butterflies and rainbows that she's been fucking someone who's killed thousands of her people...I'm sure you're relationship will be fine. See you in court!" Adam and Lute leave the room, leaving Vaggie absolutely scared of what's going to happen.

She grabs a pillow and screams into it. "Fuck my fucking life!!!!"

Chapter 30: Welcome To Heaven (Part Three)

Charlie and Vaggie were seated in the angelic courtroom. Adam walks by on his way to his seat with Lute. "Oh no, not him again!" Charlie groans.

Adam flies up and sits down beside Lute. "What up, baby? Saw that you went to my manager. Low blow, Karen."

"We are gathered here today to determine whether or not a soul in hell can be redeemed into the heavenly realm via means of this "Hazbin Hotel". Princess Morningstar?" Sera starts.

Charlie gets her notes out. "Thank you, Seraphim." She clears her throat. "Webster's dictionary defines redemption as-"

"Objection, lame and unorginal." Adam interrupts. "Sustained. No further dictionary references please." Sera agreed.

"Right. Ok, uh, uh...uhhhmmm..." Charlie shuffled through her cards, all of which having dictionary definitions in them."

"If you have actual evidence, then show it already." Adam said impatiently.

"We have a patron right now who is making incredible progress!"

"Who?"

"Angel Dust." Charlie said with no hesitation.

"Oh yeah, the porn demon. He's totally worth being redeemed." Adam blows a raspberry at her.

"Well, if you know so much, what do you think it takes to get into heaven?" Charlie asked.

"Uhmmm...w-w-well...uhh..." Adam stuttered. "Is everything ok, Adam?' Asked Sera.

"Give me a fucking minute, ok?" Adam wrote something down on a golden piece of paper before teleporting it over to Vaggie.

Vaggie reads it over. "Act selfless, don't steal, stick it to the man. Are you fucking serious?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure got me here, didn't it?" Adam laughs nervously. "Right, Sera?"

"He was the first human soul in Heaven..." Sera points out. 'That is a legitimate surprise.' Thought Vaggie.

"Well, i bet Angel is doing all of those things right now!" Charlie claims.

"Then let's fucking see it bruh!"

Adam snaps his fingers and a spying orb appears in the middle of the courtroom.

"Your honor, may i present: exhibit A." Charlie said as the orb shows Angel and the others at a nightclub. Vaggie noticed that Alastor is not with them. 'Makes sense, dad would rather die again than go to a sex club.'

"Woo! Isn't this place the fucking best?" Cherri cheered. "I'll admit, "Consent" is a good name for a sex club." Husk admits.

Pentious noticed Niffty sweeping. "Niffty, dear, what are you doing?"

"I'm sweeping! Urgh, look how icky it is in here!" Niffty complains.

"That's because we're at a club, dear." Pentious reminds her.

"Oh! I thought the hotel looked different!" Niffty giggles as she does the gremlin hands.

Pentious leans over to Cherri. "Ms. Bomb, i-i-i'd like to buy you a drink."

"Why? Didn't you say we're arch-rivals?" Cherri teased. Pentious...chickened out. "Um...uhh...because I'm EVERYONE a drink!"

Vaggie facepalmed at her tio.

"Good, i need a drink after today. You know, Val, he's into this waterboarding shit now, i don't know, it's a kink." Angel tiredly vents.

Cherri frowns in concern. "Angel, enough with the Val talk. He already ruined your whole day, don't let him ruin your night too." She holds out three pills. "Here, take one of these and you won't be worrying about nothing."

"Here we go." Husk rolls his eyes.

"Oh look! The drunk sobered up long enough to judge us." Cherri mocks.

"I ain't the one trying to get into heaven." Husk reminds her before talking to Angel. "Look, you want to fuck up all your progress? Be my guest. I just...i just thought you were better than that."

Cherri looked unamused. "Thanks, Captain Buzzkill. Come on, Angie, let's get fucked up! It's been too long."

"I uhh...i don't know, it's been a long night and I don't need to go too wild." Angel told her. Husk gave a nod of approval.

"Come on, bitch. If you've really been working that hard, you deserve a little R and R, some THC, or maybe PCP with DMT. Aww, fuck it, let's see where the night takes us, huh?' Cherri insists.

Angel considers it. "I...i guess?"

Pentious slithered back to Cherri, holding two glasses of shot. "Cherri, i brought you a shot. B-because i bought everyone another shot! Hooray!"

Once again, Vaggie facepalmed at this. 'Tio, just tell her you love her already!'

Angel and Cherri drank down a shot. "Ah...fuck it, let's do it." Husk rolls his eyes and grumbles.

"Heavenly people, what more do you need to see? The porn star chose a night of debauchery. That's not a soul worthy of being in heaven!" Adam claimed.

Charlie stood up. "Uhm, objection! Are you really telling me you've never had a drink with friends at the end of a hard day?"

"Uh, we don't have hard days? It's fucking heaven, bitch. You seriously gonna sit there and pretend like this behavior is ok?" Charlie growls. Adam looks at Vaggie. "What do you think?"

Vaggie tensed up as everyone looks at her. "I-i-i have to go to the bathroom!" She rushes out of the courtroom.

"What? Vaggie, can you hold it?!" Vaggie heard Charlie yell to her.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Vaggie ran over to the bathroom, taking deep breathes as she splashes water onto her face. "Come on Vaggie, get it together!"

She washes her face to calm herself down. "Everything is going to be okay. Angel is not going to relapse, Charlie will convince the angels redemption is real, you won't see Adam again and...when we get back, I'll tell everyone everything..." Vaggie convinced herself.

She dried her face off with a paper towl before walking back to the courtroom. "The hotel isn't a problem in his life, it's-" She heard Husk said as she entered.

"Valentino..." Angel finished darkly, glaring at something.

"Exactly. So why don't you-"

"No, Valentino." Angel points to a moth demon wearing pimp clothing who is sitting at a large sofa-bench talking with some female demons.

Vaggie has never met Valentino before, but from what she has heard from Charlie and Angel, she hates him with all of her heart.

"Yeah, I'm here all the time, they know me. You're gorgeous, do you need a job? How many dicks can you suck?" Val said to one of the girls.

"Let's get the fuck outta here, okay? Come on." Angel goes to leave before noticing something. "Where's Niffty?"

That's when he saw Niffty running towards Val. Angel immediately ran after her. He pushed through the crowd and grabs Niffty. Unfortunately, Valentino saw him.

"Holy shit, Angel Dust?" What are you doing here, baby? You didn't get enough dick today?" Val asked.

Angel glares. "Funny." He said sarcastically.

Valentino looks at Niffty. "Who's this Chiquita? You bringing me fresh meat?"

Niffty attempts to bite Valentino's finger and he yelps. "I just want a taste."

"Ehh, weird, but there's a kink for that, I'm sure!" Val shrugs.

Angel stands up, still holding Niffty. "Fuck off, Val."

Val glares. "Excuse me?"

"I said fuck off! I may have to put up with your bullshit, but you ain't fucking with any of my friends!" Angel glares at his boss.

"You forget who you're talking to?" Valentino summons his red smoke chain and grabs Angel with it, pulling him close. "I own you, bitch."

Angel grunts as he stands up for himself. "Yeah, you do, in the studio. And you can do anything you want to me there, just like our deal says. But out here, i get to do what i want. So once again, FUCK. OFF."

Valentino smacks Angel, sending him tumbling to the side onto the ground. As Angel coughs and splutters blood from his mouth, Valentino walks over. 'Enjoy the rest of your night, bitch, because I'm going to enjoy making you pay for it tomorrow."

Vaggie glares darkly at the orb. 'What makes him think he can TREAT ANGEL LIKE THAT?!'

"Fuckin' dickhead..." Cherri muttered as she and Husk were also glaring at Val, Husk was even growling.

Angel stands up and walks back to his friends while wiping blood from his mouth. "Fuck it, it was worth it."

Husk smiles and puts a hand on Angel's back as they walk off. "Way to go, kid."

Niffty then tears off a part of Valentino's fur. "Ow! What the fuck?!"

"For my collection!" She chuckles all gremlin like. "Wait up, guys!" She hops off Val.

"Did you just call these cunts your friends? Thought that was my job." Cherri said as they walked back to her.

"There's room for everyone, and ya know...you could come crash with us too." Angel told her.

Cherri chuckled. "Okay, look, Angie, I'm glad this hotel shit is workin' for you, but you know me, bitch, I'm doing just fine! In fact, I'm gokna fuck the next guy i see, okay? But if you need me, you know where to find me, yeah?"

Cherri walks off. Pentious came over panting. "Isss Cherri still here?" Angel and Husk points to Cherri who walks into a sex room with another demon. "Dammit!" Pentious yelled as he missed his chance.

"See! He did everything on your checklist! He was selfless, he stopped Niffty from stealing and he stuck it to that moth man!" Charlie said once the scene ended.

Adam tried to think of something to retort. "Uhhh...well...uh...then-then why isn't he here then? Hm?"

"Yeah, why isn't he here?" Emily asked. The angels observing the court all murmur together.

"Wait...none of you know what gets someone into Heaven?" Charlie questioned.

"This questioning stops now." Sera said abruptly. "We know when a soul arrives, we know when they pass divine judgement, it is our job to ensure these souls are safe."

Emily then starts singing. Vaggie was mainly nonverbal during the You Didn't Know sequence, though she gave Lute a death glare when she called Angel a crack whore. No one insults her big brother!

"🎵 I was told not to trust in angels.🎵" Charlie sang as she looks at Vaggie.

Adam scoffs as he walks near to the fallen angel. "🎵 By her? 🎵"

Lute leans on Vaggie's shoulder. "🎵 Ha! She should know. 🎵"

Vaggie walks over to Charlie, who takes her hands. "🎵 We should go. 🎵" She just wants this trip over already.

"🎵 No! Don't you see? We've come so close. Look at them fighting: they're at each other's throats.🎵"

"🎵 Don't you act all high and mighty. Did you ever think your little girlfriend might be a liar? 🎵" Adam questioned as he heads to the orb.

"🎵 Don't, Adam. Please! 🎵" Vaggie begged, absolutely terrified.

"🎵 What's the fuss? 🎵" Adam sinisterly grinned while Lute grabs Vaggie and pulls her over to them. "🎵 Why hide the fact that you're an angel just like us? 🎵"

The orb shows Vaggie in the past as an exorcist. Charlie falls to her knees in disbelief as Vaggie runs to her. Sera inhales to keep composure. "I'm sorry...but this court finds that there is no evidence souls in hell can be redeemed."

Vaggie felt her heart drop to her stomach. "Oh, FUCK, YES!! I WIN!!! SUCK IT BITCHES." Adam bragged. "You better save the date cunts, 'cause we're coming to your hotel FIRST."

Adam snaps his fingers, reopening the portal to hell. "What...NO!! NO!! You can't!" Charlie yelled in horror.

"Adam, you motherfu-!" Vaggie's swear was interrupted as she and Charlie were transported back to hell.

They landed back in the hotel lobby. Charlie looks at Vaggie with angry tears in her eyes. "Vaggie...is-is it true...?"

Vaggie looks down sadly in shame. "I'm so sorry Charlie..."

"...you were an angel all along and YOU NEVER TOLD ME?!" Charlie stood up angrily as her demon features came out.

Vaggie flinches. "Charlie, i...if you let me explain-"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!" Charlie storms upstairs to her room. Vaggie watches, her heart breaking. She wants to follow after and explain herself and comfort her...but she knows she's the last person Charlie wants to see or talk to right now.

The others saw the whole thing as they come back from the club. Needless to say, they were confused and concerned. "Vaggie...what happened back in heaven?"

Vaggie just sadly looks at them, looking like she's gonna cry.

Chapter 31: In My Heart

Summary:

TW: Panic attacks

Vaggie had told the others what happened, looking at the ground in shame. "And then Adam send us back to hell, and that's what happened...

Everyone was silent for a few minutes, letting the information sink in before Angel spoke up. "So...ya were a fallen exorcist this whole time?"

Vaggie gulps nervously. "Y-yeah..." Her body started to shake from the absolute guilt she was having.

"Vaggie-"

"I'M SORRY!!!" Vaggie ran away from everyone, sobbing. She hid in an empty hotel room, leaning against the door and hyperventilating. 'They're gonna hate me...They're all gonna hate me!'

Her breathing was fast and unsteady, her body was trembling uncontrollably, tears were running down her face, and she can feel her heart beating faster and faster.

'Why did i have to be a coward?! Why didn't i just tell them when i had a chance?!' Vaggie yelled at herself in her head.

Suddenly, a voice was heard. "Fawnling!"

Her eye immediately shot up to meet Alastor's red eyes. He must have sneaked in from the shadows. Her hyperventilating started to get worse. Having someone watch you while you're basically having a panic attack isn't exactly the best experience.

Alastor kneel down to be at her height. "Fawn, listen to me and follow my instructions. Take some deep breathes. Inhale, then exhale." He demonstrates for her.

Vaggie followed his instructions, shakily inhaling then exhaling. It was so hard to ground herself. Alastor noticed she was having trouble so he massaged her scalp to help her calm down. It worked as Vaggie starts to have control over her breathing.

Eventually, she managed to calm down. Her breathing and heart rate was back to a normal pace and she was no longer shaking.

"You okay now, daughter?" He asked. Vaggie gulps before nodding. "Y-yeah..."

Alastor helped her stood up. "Now, i believe we need to discuss about this newfound information."

Vaggie flinches. "Dad, i swear, i wanted to tell you but i...i was just too scared of what your reaction would be if i did..."

"My fawnling! You shouldn't be so frightened. I'd still love you." He assured her.

"R-really?! But i killed thousands of sinners and lied to you all for months! I took part in the very same thing we're trying to stop...why would you still want me as a daughter?"

Without a single hesitation, Alastor said "Because a father's love is unconditional, fawnling."

Vaggie tears up again before hugging her dad, crying softly into his chest. Alastor hugs back and rubs her back. "Shhh, it's okay fawn. I'm not listening you. I won't ever leave for anything."

Alastor then softly started singing. "🎵 Come stop your crying, it will be alright. Just take my hand, hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you. I will be here don't you cry. 🎵"

Vaggie sniffled and looks up at him. "🎵 For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us can't be broken. I will be here don't you cry. 🎵"

Alastor gently wipes her tears away. "🎵 Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart. From this day on now and forever more. You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say. You'll be in my heart, always. 🎵"

Vaggie smiled up at him. While she's still worried about Charlie, at least she has confirmation that Alastor would never leave her like her old dad did.

Chapter 32: Hello Rosie! (Part One)

Notes:

Happy 5th anniversary and Happy birthday VivziePop!!!

After Vaggie calmed down, she had a request for Alastor. "Dad, can you check on Charlie for me? I'm pretty sure I'm the last person she wants to see right now...she's up in our room, alone..." Probably not the smartest thing to ask your dad who's a shady deal maker.

"Hmm, as you wish, my fawn." Alastor disappeared, leaving Vaggie alone.

She took a deep breath. As much as she doesn't want to, she needs to face the others. She left the room and goes back to the lobby where Angel, Husk, Niffty and Pentious were.

"So, like where are your wings?" Niffty asked. Vaggie sighed. "Niffty, i don't have-"

Angel interrupts. "Did you ever think maybe she's sensitive about her lack of wings, just like her lack of tits?" He teased, trying to lighten the tense mood.

Vaggie has a deadpan tired annoyed look on her face. Niffty tugs on her shirt. "Yeah. Where are your tits?"

Vaggie sighed as she gets Niffty off of her. "Any other questions?"

"I got one. How come every time Charlie talks to Heaven, we get in deeper and deeper shit?" Husk asked.

"It's not her fault. Angels are just...difficult. But Charlie's trying her best. She and Alastor are upstairs. Coming up with something, I'm sure." Vaggie said.

Suddenly, a green flash appeared on the ceiling. Vaggie looks horrified. No...dad didn't...!

"No. No!" She runs upstairs to her and Charlie's room and slams the bedroom door open...and saw Alastor shaking Charlie's hand. "Forgive me for this fawn!"

"Dad, what did you do?!" Vaggie yelled as she makes her way towards them before Charlie stops her. "Vaggie, stop!"

"What?" Vaggie drops her spear. "No, Charlie, please tell me you didn't-"

"I made a deal with Alastor." Charlie firmly told her. "Charlie!" Vaggie pleads.

"Oh, calm down. She still owns her soul." Alastor looks slightly annoyed. Why does everyone always assume he wants others soul...

"He gave me info that can save the hotel, but we're going to need help. The angels can be defeated and Carmilla is the key." Charlie told her.

Vaggie was confused. What does Carmilla have to do with this? "What? Carmilla Carmine?"

"She killed an exorcist in the last extermination. She knows how they can be harmed." Charlie revealed.

Vaggie stood still, stunned. All this time...angels can be harmed and killed..."But...i-i didn't even know that was possible."

"If you did, would you have told me?" Charlie coldly told her.

Vaggie flinches. "Charlie, i-"

"I need you to go to her, convince her to teach us. If she can, we might have a chance."

"With just the seven of us??" Vaggie questions. Charlie sighed. "No, we're-ugh, we're going to need numbers too."

Alastor reenters the conversation. "And i know just who can help. As long as Charlie can be her normal, charming self."

"What's that you said about smiles?" Alastor pats her head. "Good girl."

Vaggie frowns. "Guys, can we talk about this-"

"We can talk later. Right now, we have a job to do. You with us?" Charlie gave Vaggie a cold stern look.

Vaggie sighed and reluctantly followed. 'Nice going, Vaggie. You really fucked up this time...!'

🦋👑🦌🦋👑🦌🦋👑🦌🦋👑🦌🦋👑🦌🦋👑🦌🦋

Vaggie walks down the stairs, only to be met by a confused Angel Dust. "So, uh...Alastor and Charlie just left like they were runnin' away from their responsibilities. Should we be alarmed?"

"No. We have a plan, but it includes defending ourselves against the angels." Vaggie told them.

Husk blinks in shock. "Are you fucking high?" Did that girl got into Angel's drug stash??

"They can be killed-"

"Yeah! That knife lady, Camaro Carfight, killed one." Frank said.

Vaggie kneels down to him. "Wait, you knew about this?"

"Uh, yeah. I told Boss about it months ago." Wait, what?!

"He WHAT?!" Vaggie glares at Pentious, her ribbon forming into horns.

"What? They sssay insane shit all the time! How was i supposed to know this one was true?" Pentious defend himself.

As if to confirm that, one egg boi spoke up. "Bank accounts are a scam created by the shadow government!"

"Sssee?"

Vaggie sighed. "What's important now is that we're going to have a fight on our hands. Look, this hotel is about to become the most dangerous place in hell, and we...i, can't guarantee your safety anymore. I still believe in Charlie's dream. I know this place can work. But none of you signed up for this." She heads out the door. "I'm gonna go learn how we can fight back, and when i come home...well I'll understand if none of you are here. And...I'm sorry you all had to be stuck with me..."

With that, Vaggie heads out the door, wiping the tears from her eye with her bow drooping sadly like cat ears. She knows when she get back...she's going to find an empty hotel and a girlfriend planning to break up with her...

Chapter 33: Hello Rosie! (Part Two)

Vaggie was at the Carmine compound, banging on the door. "Carmine! Carmine, we need to speak!"

She walks up to the security camera and glares at it. "I know what you did on extermination day. We can talk about it inside, or i can yell about it out here! I'M ALASTOR'S DAUGHTER FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!"

The door clanks open. "Fuckin right you open that door. Knew that would work." Vaggie entered as the door slams shut.

Vaggie looks around the room. "Hello?" Suddenly, she heard a voice. "You have 2 minutes to convince me not to silence you for good."

A spotlight is turned on, revealing Carmilla. Despite the tense emotions Vaggie is feeling, she can't help but fangirl a bit inside her head. 'Oh my god, I'm actually talking to THE Carmilla Carmine! Be cool, Vaggie! Just state your business then get her on your side.'

"Miss Carmine, i'm here on appointment from the princess to enlist your aid in the defense of hell from the angelic extermination. We know an angel fell at your hands and we need to know how." Vaggie said.

"No!" Carmilla told her. Vaggie stares in disbelief. "What do you mean, no? The princess of hell-"

"Means nothing to me. You have to do better than that. 90 seconds." Carmilla interrupts.

"With your knowledge, we wouldn't have to helplessly stand by while-" Once again, Vaggie was interrupted.

"Clearly i am not the helpless one here. 80 seconds."

"Well, then why? Why wouldn't you use what you know to fight?" Vaggie demanded to know.

"To avoid the very problem you and your little friends are facing right now. I will not invite destruction into my house, on my people." Carmilla firmly says as she narrows her eyes.

"You think we asked for this? All Charlie has ever done is try to make things better to help her people who, news flash, include your people too." Vaggie reminds her.

"And how exactly has that worked out for her? 45 seconds."

Vaggie was slightly starting to panic now. She HAS to find a way to get Carmilla on her side! "We didn't pick this fight, but it's here now. And they aren't going to stop with us. You didn't see the look on their leader's face. With us out of the way, it's only a matter of time before they come for the rest of you. They won't stop until all of hell is wiped out, so you can help us make a stand here together, or you can stand alone tomorrow. And what do you think your chances will be then?"

"You're out of time." Carmilla jumps down and kicks Vaggie in the face. Vaggie slides on the floor. "Angels attack quickly, viciously, and without mercy. You'll need to defend better than that."

Vaggie tried to get a hit on Carmilla, yet no matter how many times she does, she just gets kicked! "Come on! What is this?"

"You want me to teach you how to beat Angels? That's what I'm doing." Said Carmilla.

"By beating the shit out of me? I'm not used to fighting with long hair." Carmilla then lets her own long hair down and continue to kick Vaggie's ass. "By showing you the flaws in your own fighting style. Yours and all your sisters."

Her eye widened in surprise. "Wait, you know I'm in exorcist? How?"

"You have a giant X over your eye and wield an angelic spear. It's not rocket science." Carmilla said in a 'Duh' tone. "Before you found out about me, did you know Angels can be harmed by demons?"

"No." Vaggie said. Carmilla goes to kick her again but this time, Vaggie dodges.

"That shows in how you fight. You leave yourself open with every swing. You fight like someone unafraid of harm, and this is what you'll take advantage of. Angels wield no shields, little armor and fight with reckless abandon. Strike them here, here, and here."

Vaggie grunts as she was kicked three times. She really needs a massage after today..."Argh! With what? Some kind of secret weapon?"

"Silly girl! Do you not realize that you're holding the answer?" Vaggie looks at the spear and felt like facepalming.

"Angelic weapons? It's that simple? How has no one figured it out?" She asked.

"Angelic steel isn't common, and those who have it aren't exactly rushing off to test it against exorcists." Carmilla explains. "When my daughters and I were cornered in that last extermination, i try to buy time for my girls to flee, and well...you don't become an angelic weapons dealer before arming yourself first."

Suddenly, music starts playing. "🎵 I see your driven by your detestion, your every step is stroked with venomous. You need a different type of motivation, or there's no way that you can handle this. I know you're thirsty for vengeance Vaggie, you're out for blood. But you'll only stand a chance if you're out for love.🎵"

"🎵 Out for love! Love! Think of who you care about, protect them and be out for love! Love! You're gonna fight without gloves along as your out for love!🎵"

Carmilla pulls Vaggie to dance with her. "🎵 Fuel yourself with the fear of losing that someone who's your reason to live.🎵" Vaggie starts thinking about her found family and gets fueled by determination. "🎵 Harness your heart and can't help choosing to fight with what you can give! I know your thirsty for vengeance Vaggie, you're out for blood. But you'll only stand a chance if you're out for love.🎵"

"🎵 Out for love! Love! Think of who you care about, protect them and be out for love! Love! You're gonna fight without gloves, and when that push comes to shove, yeah you might just rise above as long as your out for love!🎵"

Through the power of love, Vaggie gets her wings back! "Well, look at that. You might just survive this." Carmilla said. Like her dad, she's might be stronger than she looks.

"We're gonna need more weapons." Vaggie smirked.

Notes:

*meanwhile, in cannibal town*

Alastor: Why do i get the feeling someone is planning adopt Vagatha away from me?

Chapter 34: Hello Rosie! (Part Three)

Vaggie and Carmilla were going over the weapons. "If your going to fight on ground level, you're going to need battle axes, swords, and blades." Carmilla said as she wrote on her clipboard.

Vaggie nodded. "I agree. We also need personalized weapons for the residents. Angel is good with tommy guns and Husk uses his gambling weapons like cards and dices." She suggested as she remembered the two fighting against the shark gang a few months ago.

Carmilla looks up in surprise. "Husker? I remember the days back when he was an overlord." Vaggie made a hum as she looks at the weapons being made.

She smiled as she looks at the finished weapons for everyone. "I think they're ready."

"Odette, Clara, take the weapons to the hotel with Vaggie." Carmilla told her daughters. The girls nodded. "Yes mother." Odette said as she, Clara, and Vaggie leaves with the weapons.

"I really hope that I'm ready for this..." Vaggie whispers to herself.

🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰🦋🩰

Vaggie and the Carmine daughters walked up to the gates of the hotel and met back up with Charlie and Alastor. "Looks like you had a busy day." Vaggie said as she looks at the cannibals.

"You too." Charlie said as she looks at the crate of weapons.

"Charlie, i-" Vaggie was going to explain herself when Charlie interrupts. "Hold that thought."

She pulls out a shrunken head Keychain. "I got you a souvenir from Cannibal Town."

Vaggie's eye went big and anime like. She forgives her...! Vaggie goes to hug Charlie. "Oh, Charlie!"

Charlie looks at Vaggie's wings. "The wings are new. They look nice~. Come on, let's go home."

Both Charlie and Vaggie walk into the hotel to find Angel, Niffty, Pentious and Husk all working on defenses for the hotel together. "Well, look who decided to show up. We thought we were fightin' by ourselves."

Vaggie couldn't believe it. They're all still here! She thought they would leave them! "You're...you're still here?"

"What? Do you think we're a bunch of pusssssies?" Pentious hissed.

"I just got used to you guys. I ain't finding new drinking buddies." Husk said.

"I've named all the stains on the carpet." Niffty giggles as she points at a stain. "That one's Fred."

Charlie smiled as she and Vaggie hold hands. "Well, looks like we have a lot of work to do."

Chapter 35: The Show Must Go On (Part One)

Notes:

Well, here we are. The last three chapters of my fic, covering the last episode of season one

One month had passed. It was now the last day before the extermination. Charlie and Vaggie watches the cannibals. Charlie sighed. "Oh, i wish my mom were here to see this."

"The cannibals seem ready to fight. Are we?" Vaggie asked.

Sir Pentious bursts out of the hotel's doors, wearing a Victorian-style British army uniform and looking proud of himself. "Fear not, damsels. I shall have the staff ready for victorious combat!"

Vaggie cringes. "Tio, what in the hell are you supposed to be?"

Pentious salutes. "General Pentious, reporting for duty. I'll turn those rapscallions into soldiers in no time at all!"

"Thank you Pen." Charlie smiled as Niffty, who was running around the hotel's entrance, now runs up to Pentious.

"What can i do to help?" She asked. "I'm glad you asked, soldier. The base needs fortifications. Reinforce the southern wall! Create a moat around the perimeter to stop a ground assault."

Niffty blinks up at Pentious, having no idea what he just said. "How about this. If you see an angel, stab it!" Charlie hands Niffty a small blade.

Niffty sees Angel a few metres away and, thinking that Angel is what Charlie meant, runs towards him with her knife. "Stab! Stab! Stab!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Angel climbs up the pole he was leaning on.

"Not him!" Charlie yelled. As Niffty runs off to find other things to stab, Angel does a flip and lands on the ground, before walking over to stand with Charlie, Vaggie and Pentious.

Vaggie starts talking in drill sergeant style. "Listen up, sinners! We've got 24 hours before the Extermination begins. Let's get to work.

Everyone begins training to fight. Vaggie shows everyone the exorcists vulnerable sides, Pentious was building the cannons, Cherri, Angel and Husk were testing out their weapons.

Charlie is holding Alastor's microphone, preparing to give a speech to the cannibals and the hotel's residents. "I want to thank everyone for coming. Even people who aren't staying here yet...Cherri."

"Look, I can't resist a fight, okay? Especially when i get to tag team with this fuckhead!" Cherri wraps an arm around Angel, who smiles.

"Tomorrow, the Exorcist Angels will face a Hell ready to defend itself and win!" Vaggie hypes Charlie up. "Yeah! Yeah, we will! Tell 'em, baby!"

"Yes! And we are-we are going to win!" Charlie then frowns. "But in case we don't, i want you all to know...that getting to know you has been the biggest honor of my life. Whatever redemption really means, i know you all tried. I have seen the good in all of you." Everyone except Cherri looks moved by her speech. "And it's...I-i'm just...i love you all, so much, and-and live tonight however you want because-"

"We're all gonna die!" Everyone looks at Niffty weirdly as she laughs maniacally.

Vaggie tries to hype everyone up. "Alright! Let's give if up for not dying! Love not dying...drinks?"

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Inside the hotel, the gang are sharing drinks, talking and laughing with one another. Alastor and Niffty were watching from the mezzanine, Pentious was talking to Charlie, Angel and Husk were having a moment, and Vaggie was taking an opportunity to talk to Cherri. "And then i blew up one of his clubs! Ha! That dickhead was swearing up a storm!"

Vaggie snickered. "Okay, i will admit Val deserves that." Pentious tentatively approaches Cherri. "Miss Bomb? Cherri?"

"Yeah?" Cherri asked as Vaggie walks off, giving Pentious a pat on the arm for good luck. She saw Charlie watching with floating hearts and take her away so Pentious and Cherri can have their privacy.

Vaggie goes over to Alastor. "Dad, i just want to say...thank you for everything. You have been the best dad i could ever wish for and I'm so grateful that everything you've done for us."

Alastor smiled gently. "You're welcome, Vagatha. And I'm truly grateful you're my daughter." He gave her a kiss on the forehead, making Vaggie smile.

🦋🍒🐍🦌🦋🍒🐍🦌🦋🍒🐍🦌🦋🍒🐍🦌🦋🍒🐍

That night, Vaggie was walking through the hotel halls when she heard sobbing. She looks and saw Charlie crying in front of Angel's door. "Charlie?"

Charlie turns to see Vaggie standing in the corridor watching her. Charlie turns away from her. "I'm sorry...i'm...I'm just so scared. What if we lose?"

Vaggie softly started singing. "🎵You've already done so much.🎵" She begins to walk towards Charlie. "🎵 So many lives you've changed, so many souls you've touched. And in the end, if it's only me you've saved.🎵"

"🎵There's something that I've been dying to say.🎵" The girls sang. "🎵 More than anything, more than anything. Need you to know i love you more than anything. More than anything.🎵"

Charlie and Vaggie hold each other close and shared a much needed kiss.

Chapter 36: The Show Must Go One (Part Two)

This was it.

Extermination day is here.

Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Pentious, Husk, Niffty, Cherri and the cannibals were gathered at the hotel entrance. Charlie has a golden shield with an apple motive, Vaggie has her angelic spear, Niffty has the small knife Charlie gave her (and is laughing maniacally), Angel has a tommy gun, Cherri has a bomb, and Pentious has a short sword.

Vaggie narrows her eye when a portal opened. "Here they come. Get ready everyone. We fight together."

Vaggie raises her angelic spear. "Now! FOR YOUR SOULS!"

The group charge as the Exorcists begin pouring out of the portal, charging back at them. "Let's FUCK THEM UP!" Yelled Charlie.

As the Exorcists and the hotel group begins fighting, Alastor stands on the hotel's roof, watching the angels flying out. "Let the slaughter begin."

Alastor laughs maniacally as he swings his microphone, causing a huge force field to appear around the hotel which traps the attacking Exorcists inside while tentacles that sprouts out kills the Exorcists that are outside.

Vaggie grips her spear as she and Charlie fight with each other. 'Alright, dad's shield is up. Let's hope this will work!' She thought as she stabs the Exorcists heading towards her.

Angel was shooting the angels with his tommy gun. "Come and get some!"

He tossed Cherri in the air as she throws her explosive bombs. "Eat shrapnel, fuckers!"

Pentious watches them from his cannons. "All angelic weapons fire at will!" His cannons fire angelic weapons.

Husk flies past, throwing his explosive cards at angels. "Hey! Yelling while fighting...doesn't help."

Niffty runs around stabbing every angel she can see, even the dead ones. Charlie and Vaggie are fighting back to back. "Alastor's shield is working!"

"Trying to focus, sweetie!" Vaggie said as she stabs. "We might actually have a chance!" Charlie smiled.

Vaggie threw a spear at an exorcist behind Charlie. "Love the optimistism. Still trying to focus. Hi-yah!" Vaggie did a battle cry as she decapitates an exorcists head.

Suddenly, Adam draws backwards before flying straight at the shield. With one punch, he causes it to dissipate, leaving the hotel exposed. "Fuck!" Angel panicked.

"Oh, no!" Charlie frowned in worry as Adan flies down on the roof to fight Alastor. "Dad will handle Adam as planned, let's just focus on surviving!" Vaggie yelled as she runs off to fight more. Charlie runs after her.

Pentious was now commanding the cannibals from the balcony. "Right flank, advance! Left flank, watch your six. Ladies! There are more coming up on your right. Get ready for them, Vagatha!"

Vaggie rolls her eye. "Not really my name anymore, but got it."

Charlie is hitting angels with her shield, apologizing to each of them as she does so. "Sorry! Sorry. Sorry-sorry, sorry!"

"Now's not the time for that, babe!" Vaggie told her. "Oh, right." Five angels fly at Vaggie, out to kill her. Charlie uses her firework power to explode them all. "DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS!"

Husk flies around the hotel, throwing his playing cards. Angel near him is shooting them all with his tommy gun. "These fucking angels won't stop coming!"

"Ha!" Angel laughs and wiggles his hips, his dirty mind turning it into a sex joke.

"Okay, i walked right into that one." Husk admits, waving it off.

Angel sees an Exorcist advancing on 2 of the Egg Boiz. "Hold that thought."

Angel runs to defend the eggs, one of them having already been killed by the Exorcist. Angel blocks the Exorcist's sword with his tommy gun, before shooting it with a pair of guns that were hidden in his third pair of arms. "You alright, squirt?"

"I nearly scrambled...myself." Frank said as he hugs Angel's leg.

"Get somewhere safe." Angel is knocked off his feet by a huge explosion. The smoke clears, revealing it to be Adam, flying above everyone and shooting angelic light from his hands. "SUCK MY HOLY LIGHT, FUCKERS! YEAH!"

Charlie was in shock. "What? Alastor was supposed to handle him. Oh no, he must be-"

"Alastor is alive! I know he is!" Vaggie firmly said. There's no way her dad is dead! She and Charlie run to safety as Adam attempts to shoot at them. Pentious watches them from his camera. "We aren't going to last long unless we do something about him."

Pentious looks up at Adam. "Of course." Cherri runs past Pentious to get to a better vantage point, holding a bomb. Pentious pulls her to him. "I'm trying to fight here! You out of your fucking mind?"

"Yes!" Pentious kisses Cherri, the bomb falling out of her hand and exploding behind them.

"Miss Cherri Bomb, i love you. Remember me!" Pentious slithered off to his airship. Cherri looks back at him, blushing. "That was kinda hot."

Pentious enters his airship, the Egg Boiz lined up around the inside. As he slithers past them, they salute. "Eggs, activate thrusters, and charge the death ray."

"Yes, sir." Pentious airship starts up and lifts itself off of the hotel. Everyone else watches. "Pentious?" Charlie frowned.

"That crazy motherfucker." Angel held onto his hat. "Wh-what's he doing?" Vaggie asked worryingly.

The airship flies towards Adam, aiming the death ray at him. "Target in range."

"Fire."

The airship edges closer and closer to Adam, the death ray charging up. Adam notices it. "Oh, whoop!" With one single blast from his finger, Adam incinerates the airship and everyone inside it. "Haha, that coulda been ugly."

Everyone stares in horror from the ground. "Noo!" Charlie, Cherri, and Vaggie yelled. Vaggie drops her spear, falling to her knees. "T-tio..." Tears from her eye as she remembered all the moments she and Pentious had together.

Vaggie saw Charlie on her knees crying. She wipes her own tears and runs over to her. "Charlie, I'm so sorry..."

Charlie growls as the tears run down her face, her sadness turning into rage. She stands up. "Razzle! Dazzle!" Razzle and Dazzle fly over to her. Charlie engulfs herself in a tornado of fire and rises up. When it dissipates, she is in her full demon form and is holding a pitchfork. Razzle and Dazzle have become huge dragons.

"Let's ride!" Charlie and Vaggie jump onto Razzle and Dazzle's backs and begin to fly. The rest watch from the ground, cheering. Charlie and Vaggie fly higher and higher, towards Adam and Lute. "Forward! Go, Razzle, Go!"

"Oh, look who thinks they're badass now!" Adam grinned.

"The traitor came to die." Lute lunges down and slices Dazzle's wing clean off, causing him to roar in pain.

"No!" Vaggie screams as they fall together. Lute strikes her sword in Dazzle's heart as they crash through the glass ceiling and right in the lobby. Vaggie falls off, and gets up just as Lute sword out of Dazzle.

"Before i take your life, i'm going to tear that other eye out of your face."

"Try it, bitch."

Lute lunges at Vaggie, Vaggie managed to throw her into the wall. Lute flies back at Vaggie and throws her to the ground, hitting her head against it repeatedly. Vaggie manages to flip her over, but Lute throws her into the wall again, before lunging at her with her sword. Vaggie dodges and Lute rams her sword into the wall. Pulling it out, she leaps at Vaggie and smashes her head into the table, breaking Vaggie's nose. Vaggie grabs Alastor's radio and hits Lute with it. "That was for Dazzle!"

Lute growls and grabs Vaggie before flying into the air then dropping her to the ground, slamming her knee into Vaggie's stomach and knocking the wind out of her. "Oof!"

"Why are you risking your life for these sinful filth? They're just sinners! They don't matter!" Lute said.

Vaggie growls. "They're not just sinners...they're my family!!" She kicks Lute off of her and runs to her spear. Right when her fingers grasp it...Lute grabs her again and throws her to the ground.

"You always were weak." Lute said as she pulls on her ponytail. Vaggie tries to reach for her spear again, but Lute flips it off the ground and out of her reach with her foot, before stabbing it into Vaggie's right hand. Vaggie screams in pain. "So, I'll spare you the pain of seeing your demon bitch die."

Vaggie looks up and sees that the mezzanine is on the verge of collapse. Pulling the spear out of her hand, she uses it to throw Lute off of her before revealing her newly restored wings to fly up and destroy the last destroy the last pillars holding it up. Lute screams as it falls on her as plumes of sawdust fly everywhere. When it clears, the LED face has come out of Lute's mask. Lute's left arm is pinned under the rubble. "Do it, then. Correct your mistake."

Vaggie scoffed. "Seriously, you're pathetic, you know that? Ready to die rather than accepting mercy? No. Live. Live, knowing you only do because i, the failure, let you."

Hearing Charlie screaming in the distance, Vaggie flies out of the hole in the hotel's roof to help her.

🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋🗡🦋

Flying to the roof, Vaggie saw Adam holding Charlie by her throat. "Let...me...go!"

"This fight was cute n all, but it's time to die with the rest of them!" Adam's mask glitches for a moment.

Vaggie goes to help Charlie, but a one-armed Lute flies after her and pins her to the floor. "Charlie!"

Suddenly, a fist appeared and punches Adam so hard that it damages his mask as he goes flying into the hotel's sign, before falling through the roof. The person catches Charlie as it is revealed to be Lucifer. "Dad?"

"Sorry i wasn't here sooner, sweetie." Lucifer lands and puts Charlie down.

Adam climbs back on the roof, half of his mask having broken off. "Okay, seriously! How many of you freaks do i have to fight?!"

Lucifer walks up to Adam, rolling up his sleeves to fight. "Oh, I'm the only one that matters. See, you messed with my daughter, and now, I am going to FUCK you!"

Adam stares at Lucifer, perplexed. Lute and Vaggie stop their fight to stare in confusion at Lucifer. Angel cocks an eyebrow, smiling as Husk gives him a deadpanned look. Charlie, slightly embarrassed, corrects her dad. "It's fuck you up, dad."

"...Wait, what did I say?"

Adam flies at Lucifer with a battle cry, smashing him into the wall. As Adam and Lucifer fight, Charlie runs over to help Vaggie with Lute. Suddenly, Adam charges up a huge blast of light that chops the hotel in half.

Vaggie quickly uses her wings to keep her in the air. She saw Lucifer catching Charlie as she fell, relieved that her love is alright, she lands down on the ground before Angel ans Husk immediately ran over to her.

"VAGGS! Are ya alright?! Any injuries?!" Angel looks her over

"I swear, if that bitch did anything, I'll crawl her!" Husk growls.

"Hermano, Tio, i'm fine!" Vaggie chuckled a bit, touched that they were concerned for her.

They met back up with the others as Adam goes on a rant. "I'm fucking Adam! I'm the fucking man, and you're just some fucking clown or something! I started everything on Earth! All of mankind came from these fucking nuts! You all should be worshipping me, you ungrateful, disgusting, fucking losers-!"

Just as he says those words, a small knife is stabbing through him, making Adam shout in pain. Everyone except Vaggie looks shocked. "Woah!" She smiled. She really is Alastor's daughter.

"Hey, y-ya got something sticking outta your...your thing there." Lucifer casually told him.

Adam collapsed face first to the ground, revealing Niffty on his back, having sneaked up behind and stabbed Adam. "Niffty?" Charlie said in shock.

Niffty stares blankly at Adam for a few seconds before smiling and viciously stabbing Adam again and again, his golden blood going all over her. "STAB! STAB STAB! Hahahaha! Hahaha! RUEhahaha! Blood! Hahahaha!!"

A little way away, Lute turns and looks in horror at Adam's body. "NOOOO!" Lute dashed up to Adam just as Niffty skips off, turning him to face her. "Sir! Sir! Stay with me sir!" Adam gives her a small smile before dying. "ADAM!"

The others then come up to her, Charlie and Lucifer in their demonic forms. "It's over." Charlie glares.

"Take your little friends, and GO HOME! Please." Lucifer commands her.

Lute realizes that the only option she has is obeying him and picks up Adam's halo. "Retreat! All Exorcists fall back!"

With that command, all the surviving Exorcists take off to the portal to Heaven, Lute following behind scowling. The portal then closes as Lucifer looks to the group. "Soo....Who's up for pancakes?"

Only Niffty raises her hand, everyone else just looks at him, unamused.

Notes:

RIP Sir Pentious, you will be missed...

Chapter 37: The Show Must Go One (Part Three)

Notes:

This is it! The final chapter! Thanks to everyone who stick around for this!

Everyone was digging through the rubble of the Hazbin Hotel...or what's left of it. Husk picks up a glass bottle which breaks. Charlie runs through the ruins with Vaggie, looking anxiously around. She sees KeeKee lying in the rubble and picks her up. "Oh...there, there. It's...it's okay."

Vaggie saw her Bunny in the rubble. It looks a little torn with some stuffing peeking out, but otherwise still okay. Vaggie holds Bunny close to her for some comfort. "Dad's still alive. Adam couldn't kill him that easily. He-he's just doing his disappearing act and will come back when he's finished licking his wounds." She told herself.

Vaggie looks over and smiles briefly when she sees Angel and Fat Nuggets reuniting. She saw Charlie staring at the 'Happy first week, Sir Pentious!' Banner and frowns, walking over to her.

Charlie softly started singing. "🎵He did it for us, the ultimate sacrifice. He gave me his trust, and look how he payed the price. This bloodshed could've been avoided if i convinced Heaven to work together.🎵"

Charlie walks through the hotel's ruins to the edge of the precipice, where she has a clear view of the hotel's sign, collapsed on the ground. "🎵 I took a hotel, and i destroyed it. I know i could have done better. Better, instead of letting you down.🎵"

Lucifer walks over to her and places a hand on her shoulder. "🎵 Come on, little lady, why the frown? In the last 10,000 years, you're the first one to change this town!🎵"

Lucifer stands in front of Charlie and points encouragingly at her. "🎵 You can do this! Now i know it! For your story has just begun! You can't quit now, hell, you owe it! There's still damage to be undone! You've changed my mind, you've touched their hearts.🎵"

Vaggie, Angel (who is still holding Fat Nuggets), Husk, Niffty and Cherri Bomb gather around the 2 of them. "🎵 Found the good in souls gone bad. The stage is wrecked, the crowd is gone. But by God, Charlie! The show, it must go on!🎵"

Everyone else gathers around Charlie, singing encouragingly. "🎵 We can do this, we can build it. Best hotel that you've ever seen! Twice the bedrooms, we can fill it. With more sinners than you can dream! It starts with you, you know it's true, fulfill your destiny!🎵"

Charlie, now smiling, stands up. "🎵 So long as I've got all of you with me!🎵"

So, they all started to rebuild the hotel. Niffty runs around the hotel's ruins, picking up bricks. "🎵 To build a hotel, i think we'll need some brick and lumber!🎵"

"🎵 Good thing we're in Hell, check out this little magic number!🎵" Lucifer creates huge, neat piles of bricks. Meanwhile, Angel begins to build pillars. "Start with foundation!🎵"

"🎵 A remedial creatation for me!🎵" Lucifer, using KeeKee in her key form, creates foundations. "🎵 It's as easy as can be!🎵"

Charlie wipes away her tears as she helps rebuilds. "🎵 No time for crying, we got a lot of work to do and, we gotta try and, make the best of what's in ruins!🎵"

Vaggie was standing on a ladder, her hair up in a high ponytail. "🎵 New coat of paint!🎵"

Husk, using his wings, was putting up the lightballs. "🎵 New lights across the marquee.🎵"

Charlie uses her power to light up the lightbulbs. "🎵 With a little sorcery!🎵"

With time, the hotel was completely rebuild. Charlie and Vaggie put up a painting of Pentious. Everyone salutes to their fallen friend. "🎵 We can do this! (We can do this!) We'll be better! (We'll be better!) Though redemption may take a while. (Though it may take a while!) Wayward sinners, clear their ledger!🎵"

Then, Alastor appears in the middle of the group. He's not dead! "🎵 And we're doing it with a smile!🎵"

"Dad!" Vaggie smiled as she hugs him. She knew Adam couldn't kill him!

"🎵 We'll make a difference, wait and see!🎵" Charlie sang before Vaggie joined in. "🎵 We're gonna do this, you and me!🎵"

Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Alastor, Husk, Niffty, Cherri and Lucifer proudly stood in front of the hotel. "🎵 And then tomorrow it will be a fucking happy day in hell!🎵"

Vaggie has no idea what tomorrow will bring, but as long as she's with her family, everything will be okay!
