A Meeting

"Well hello there, you wayward Sinner!" Alastor greeted two demons who were in the middle of a knife session while holding up a camera to them. A camera that he was using rather unprofessionally, "Do you like blood, violence, and depravity of sexual nature?!" He asked and pointed at them. The two stopped and looked at each other in confusion, "Of course you do! That's why you're in Hell!" He answered before zooming out revealing how destructive the road was in front of him.

"But what if I told you that there was a place that had none of that?!" He asked, waving his hand in front of the lens (Which glitched out his arm). This got other Sinners and demos attention as he suddenly teleported to the front of Hazbin Hotel, "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel. A misguided path to redemption! Founded by Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlie Morningstar." He announced as the camera revealed Charlie talking to someone when she glanced over to see the camera in her face, which at first startled her but she nervously waved at the camera.

Behind her, both Nate and Angel cameras bombed her by throwing up several bunny ears behind her head.

"Come place your fate in her inexperience hands as she tried to work through her daddy issues by fixing you!" Alastor continued as he showed Charlie trying to talk to Katie with drawings of her hotel before it cuts to a picture of her crying in front of a shadowy figure that represents her dad, "Here we have other fun things like... functional staff, 24 hour pest control..." He said as he showed Husk who appeared to have drank a bit too much and passed out, while Niffty chased after a cockroach with her needle-like knife.

"Custom rooms." He added while showing... a toilet?

"Just look at this tacky parlor!" He said as he panned over to show KeeKee sleeping on a couch with Nate playing on his phone, while Angel was busy on his own phone, when suddenly a support beam fell, crashing in between them, scaring the demonic cat who flew up to Nate and attached herself around Nate's face. While Nate was shown screaming in pain, he flew off the couch and tried to pull KeeKee off of him, all while Angel laughed at him hysterically, "Enjoy riveting conversation with our two singular residents." Alastor said as he zoomed the camera to Angel who stopped mid laugh and annoyingly flipped him off.

"Wow!" Alastor added as he showed a cardboard drawing of the Hazbin Hotel along with half price stickers shown all over the cardboard, "All this, and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempts at salvation starts here!" He said before the television turned off revealing that it was commercial.

"So whaddya think?" He asked his audience. His audience consists of a surprised Charlie and Vaggie, along with poor Nate who was busy rubbing the bandages scratches from KeeKee.

"I'm sorry, what the fuck was that?!" Vaggie asked, rather not pleased at the production of the commercial.

"Uh yeah, one note, Alastor." Charlie spoke up raising a finger to Alastor, "I mean first off, thank you so much for making this, seriously amazing." She complimented firstly, "But um, maybe the tone is a bit off. We want people to come here. This makes it look, um..."

"Bad... the word you're looking for was bad." Vaggie spoke up.

"Now wait a minute Vaggie, it wasn't that bad." Charlie said trying to defend Alastor.

"Precisely, and besides, one of our favorite residences starred in the commercial, let's hear what he thinks." Alastor said gesturing towards Nate, to which Charlie and Vaggie looked over to him.

"The toilet summed up the entire commercial, shit, it was fucking shit."

"Funny I was going for hilarious." Alastor said, unpleased that Nate would compliment so negatively.

"Dude, it didn't explain anything about you guys trying to save demons from extermination." Nate explained which Vaggie nodded her head.

"Which is the whole fucking point." She added.

"Both Vaggie and Nate are right, Alastor." Charlie chimed in, "The commercial was to let Sinners know we are trying to help them."

"Well my dear, I haven't been active in Hell for some time and everyone remembers me and my radio show." Alastor explains as he walks over to the side, "The proper medium to express oneself. But you insisted on this." He said, gesturing to the tube TV, "Noisy picture box advertisement." He added tapping the TV with his mic, "So I had a little fun."

"Oh fun? You had a little fun with it?!" Vaggie asked rather angrily, "Well, this is not what we want to represent us. When you showed up here a week ago, you told us you would help run this hotel. Instead, you're making a mockery of us. Nobody's gonna wanna come to this place that a powerful Overlord like you think is a waste of time."

"And you owe me for KeeKee scratching my face." Nate added when a hand was raised on one of the other couch.

"What is it Angel?" Vaggie called him out.

"If'n you're filming a commercial, can I suggest you take better advantage of the talented celebrity right here?" He asked pointing to himself while he was holding a bottle of cheap booze.

"Angel, you're a porn star."

"A famous porn star." Angel corrected Vaggie, "I'll have the horniest Sinners knocking down these walls to get in." He said, which Nate rolled his eyes.

"We are not filming porn for a commercial." Vaggie said.

"Oh come on, why not?! Sex sells don't it?!" Angel asked.

"That's true, if it wasnt for the porn industry we wouldn't have Blu-ray DVD's." Nate pointed out, (Which is true look it up)

"Exactly! I don't even know what that is, but I swear if you filmed me going at it with Mr. Fancy-talk-creepy-voice here..." Gesturing over to Alastor who appear next to the couch, "You'd be rolling in participants willing to stay in this tacky hotel."

"Haha! Never going to happen!" Alastor immediately responded to Angels request, shutting down the idea.

"I mean even if we did make a porn commercial, it wouldn't be with me either, cause I'm a minor."

"That's why I didn't mention you, look I maybe a dick hungry fellow, but I dont do minors, I have priorities." Angel stated as he took swig from his drink.

"Thank god there's some humanity down in Hell." Nate said crossing his arms.

"Again, we're not going to make a porn commercial."

"And besides, this hotel is supposed to represent the idea of redeeming and cleaning those sins and I, personally, really don't want to exploit you just to sell rooms." Charlie said.

"Oh please baby, this body was Made for exploiting!" Angel said groping his fluffy chest, "I got the arms, I got the stamina, I got the legs, I got the lung capacity. Oh, I got the Legs!" He said shooting one his legs straight up into the air, "The gag reflex, the holes, the chest fluff everyone thinks are tits..."

"A-alright! We get it." Nate said while Charlie chuckled nervously before her phone buzzed. Upon picking it up to see who was calling, her eyes widened when she sees that it was from her father.

"Hold that thought! I'll be right back!" She said and got up to take the call.

"I could keep going all night baby!" Angel yelled out as Charlie hurried around a corner, leaving Vaggie to look a bit concerned but reverted her attention back to Angel, "Hey, I have a question." He spoke up, "If freaky face over there is so powerful, then why can't he just make people stay here?"

"Oh trust me..." Alastor answered before everything started to go static as his face started to deform with his eyes turning into dials, "I CaN." He said.

"Why do you think I'm here." Husk spoke up, getting Alastor out of his demonic magic and everyone looked over to him, "You actually think I'd be cleaning bottles and listening to fucks bitch and moan all the time if he wasn't forcing me?"

"I like being forced." Niffty popped up over the bar table rather creepily but it was cute nonetheless.

"Keep it to yourself Nif."

"What? You don't love being here with me whiskers?"

"Call me whiskers again and I'll jam that bottle right down your throat.

"Kinky, come on, keep talking dirty." Angel edged Husk on.

"Oh for fuck sakes, leave grumpy cat alone will ya Angel." Nate said rather annoyed at their constant butting heads for the last week.

"Oh come on, he knows he loves it." Angel flirted with Husk who looked like he was ready to pounce.

"Angel, please let Husk do his job, and no. We can't force Sinners to stay here, they need to choose."

"She's right, they must come here on their own free will." Nate added.

"I'm choosing to be here and I think it's all stupid. We're in Hell toots. That's kinda the end of the road ain't it?" Angel said as he quickly took another drink.

"Oh... he got you there Vag." Nate commented which Vaggie pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Well maybe it doesn't have to be. Just because nobody has made it out before doesn't mean it's not possible." She fired back as Nate looked over to Angel, only to receive silence.

"The balls in your court, Angel." He said.

"Hey..." Angel said placing a hand onto Vaggie shoulder while giving a deadpan look, "Whatever means I can keep crashing here, rent-free. Cracks expensive ya' know?"

"I wouldn't know, I don't do drugs." Vaggie responded.

Meanwhile, Charlie was busy on the phone when she started to get more and more excited.

"Y-yeah, I can totally! Yeah, yeah. I'll... I'll head over there right away. Okay?" She asked before hanging up, "Yes... YES!" She whispered to herself in excitement, "VAGGIE!! HOLY SHIT!" She called out waving her arms hysterically and giggling.

"Ah what?!" Vaggie asked as Charlie waved her over, clearly trying to contain her excitement. Vaggie sighed happily as she walked over to Charlie who was hopping up and down in pure excitement, followed by Nate.

"What's got you all sugered up Charlie?" Nate asked.

"Yeah, you usually are like this when you watch something nice happening in the park." Vaggie added, placing a hand on her hip.

"Guys... I just... got a call from dad... and..." She tried to say but her excitement was as getting in the way of her speech.

"Woah woah, slow down hon." Vaggie said gently putting her hands on Charlie's shoulders getting her to breath in and out trying to calm her down.

"My dad just call, he said that the leader of the Angel Army wants to me... and he asked me if I could go instead!" She said though hyperventilating as she grabbed onto Vaggies hands.

"Wait what?!" Nate asked rather confused as Vaggie looked concerned at her girlfriend.

"B-but... the extermination just happened." She said trying to question the logic, "What could they want this soon after."

{Happy Day In Hell}

(Charlie)
'I can do this! Somehow, I know it!
I'll get Heaven behind my plans!'

(Vaggie)
(Charlie, hold on...)

(Charlie)
'There's just no way I could blow it
Not this once-in-a-lifetime chance!'

(Nate)
(It's just a meeting.)

(Charlie)
'To change their minds
And touch their hearts
Or... whatever angels have!'

(Vaggie)
(This could be bad...)

(Charlie)
'Cheer up, Vaggie!
This could be swell!
Something tells me that today will be a happy day in Hell!'

"Okay, but just don't... sing to them." Vaggie said as Charlie ran off.

"That bitch is halfway down the street!" Angel said.

"Is she—?"

"Oh, she's dancin'!" Angel answered.

"Ugh, no..." Vaggie groaned as Nate ran after Charlie.

(Charlie)
'There's a warm, fuzzy feeling
That wafts through the air'

(Nate)
(Charlie wait a minute.)

(Charlie)
'Every street so revealing
It's hard not to stare!
It's a realm so appealing it beats anywhеre
If you don't mind the smell...

(Nate)
(Eww.)

(Charlie)
'It's a happy day in Hell!'

"Hi, mister!" Charlie greeted a lone Sinner who was reading a newspaper.

"Go fuck yourself!" The Sinner yelled out while Nate gently pushed Charlie to forward a bit.

'There's an endless trash fire that's burning my soul' (Charlie: Hello!)
And a ton of barbed wire to shove in his hole! (Charlie: Ah, excuse me!)
Doing what is required, we all have our role
I'm not doin' well!'

(Demons and Nate)
'Another shitty day in Hell!'

(Charlie)
'If I can show them the dream I've dreamed
That any soul can change!'
(Vaggie)

(Those angels' minds are hard to change)

(Charlie)
'Then they will know everyone can be redeemed
From the evil to the strange!'

(Vaggie)
(They're bloodthirsty and deranged!)

I can hear all their stories
The lost and displaced
And I know that they're more of an acquired taste
But if I open the door and I give them a place
At my Hazbin Hotel
It'll be a happy day in Hell!'

"You know what Charlie i think I'm starting to get ya." Nate said as he held onto the back of the van with Charlie.

"Really?!"

"Yeah, let me join in on this."

"Oh okay?"

(Nate)
'From the porn studio
Where the cinephiles go
To watch award-winning demon bukkake shows!

To the Cannibal Town
Where they don't wear a frown 'cause
Holy shit!'

(Charlie)
'Ew, my gosh! WHY?!'

Charlie gagged at the sight of cannibals eating a freshly killed corpse.

'And I don't give a crow that
His brain's got in my eye!'
Cause I know I can spare them
From Heaven's genocide!'

I can do this, I just know it!
(There's an endless trash fire that's burning my soul)

I'll get Heaven behind my plans!
There's just no way I could blow it
(I kinda like the barbed wire that's shoved in my hole)
Not this once-in-a-lifetime chance!

To change their minds'

(Demon)
'And touch my parts!'

A slug like demon appeared and opened up its trench coat, which both Nate and Charlie backed up, slightly creeped out that this guy was flashing them (though he had nothing to show)

"Uh... No thank you. I'm just gonna..."

'Fulfill my destiny!'
(Your loss, bitch!)

'I can already tell!
Today is gonna bе a fuckin' happy day in Hell~!'

Charlie finished her song before running over to location she need to go to. Heavens Embassy with a watchtower, home to the leader of the Exterminators and opening them, for herself and Nate. Once they entered, the whole atmosphere changed, from the wild chaos outside to an eerie silence.

"Hello!" She called out. Her voice echoed through the extremely large building as the two walked by several benches, "Helloooo?" She asked out again, this time getting a sudden nervous feeling, "Creepy."

"This reminds me of the time we had a hooker come into church one time, everyone was dead silent when they saw her." Nate explained to which Charlie didn't pay attention to his little useless information and saw that the front desk had a bell (shaped like a tree).

Ching!

Went the bell... but nothing happened.

"Hello? Anyone here?!" She asked outloud, hoping to get someone to answer her. While she was busy trying to get someone to answer back, Nate took the opportunity to inspect the bell and began to hit it repeatedly.

Ching!

Ching Ching!

Ching Ching Ching Ching Ching Ching Ching Ching Ching Ching!

"Nate!" Charlie said which got Nate to jump back.

"What?! I couldn't help myself it's a..."Just before he could finish, a golden scroll appeared in front of both with a white feather, "Bell..."

"Oh... that's, that's also creepy." Charlie said devoting her attention to the scroll.

"Wait hang on Charlie, maybe we should..." Nate tried to say, but it was already too late. Charlie immediately grabbed ahold of the quell pen and immediately signed her name down on the dotted line, once she finished the pen and scrolled rolled up and disappeared, "Read the fine print..." He finished his statement, seeing that there was no point in trying to stop her. Suddenly the large double doors opened in front of them.

"Well don't just stand there come on." Charlie said excitedly and walked ahead.

"Wait hold up Charlie, I have a bad feeling about this... maybe we should just come back when we have a little bit more of an authority figure."

"Oh don't be so dramatic, come on, this way." Charlie said and ran ahead leaving Nate a little concerned but he followed her nonetheless.

The two followed the hallway to another set of double doors that opened for them, unfortunately the meeting room was completely dark and looked like no one was here.

"Uh, hello?! Anyone here!?" Charlie called out as she and Nate looked around.

"Sup." They heard in front of them, causing Charlie to jump in surprise as the lights suddenly came on revealing two figures.

"Holy shit!" Charlie yelped out before falling to the floor.

"Oh hey, there they are." Nate said, pointing out the obvious.

The one sitting in the chair twiddling his thumbs was a very large angel that wore a mask that appeared similar to the one next to him, though with normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. The mask also held a pair of horns albeit longer, smoother, and with a golden ornamental attachment on the tips.

He also had a pair of large and golden wings on his back. His halo was bright gold in appearance, and has two spikes pointing up and down from each other, though these spikes are located at the front of his halo as opposed to the angel next to him which had its spikes in the middle, joined by a small dot.

He wore a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands were black in appearance, and had gold-tipped spikes on the back of his collar.

Next to him was a a female angel who was dressed in a long-sleeved gray minidress with a feather-like high collar colored in a gray gradient, a white sash-belt, black leggings, white arm-length gloves and matching heeled thigh-high boots with a single gray stripe at the cuffs, underneath which they wear an additional pair of long dark gray gloves and thigh-length stockings.

She also had a pair of large gray wings on their backs with two black stripes on the inside of each along with a full-head mask with LED screens on their faces that was capable of various expressions. The masks possess two large goat-like horns that curve backwards. Her mask's right pupil is a white circle with an X over it instead of a white X.

After Charlie got up, she readjust herself before clearing her throat before approaching the big angel.

"Hi, I'm Charlie. My dad asked me if I could meet you." She greeted them.

"Yeah I know." The larger angel said while eating a rib, though how he was eating them was odd, due to him wearing a mask and making a buzzsaw sound when he put it near his mouth.

"It's uh, really nice to meet you, oh and uh this is Nate, hope you don't mind him tagging along with me." Charlie gestured over to Nate who crossed his arms trying to look calm and collective.

"Sup." Nate greeted him.

"Sup man, nah it's cool babe, it's nice to meet you too." The angel said and went to reach out and shake hands. Charlie sees this and gladly goes to reach for his hand, only for her hand to go through his. The angel started to fizz in and out when Charlie connected with his hand, to which she immediately retracted her hand, freaking out, "HA!! I fucking got you!" He laughed in Charlie's face before turning the angel next to him, "Did you see that?!" He asked her to which she nodded her head in response, "Ha. Good shit."

"Uh... so... wait, y-you aren't here?" She asked him clearly confused and still trying to wrap her head around the idea of the Angel not physically being here.

"No, you think I'd come down there?" The angel asked, "Don't get me wrong I totally love the vibe, pretty fucking hardcore not gonna lie. But it's such a Bummer man! Everything down here is just so 'eugh' ya know? So yeah, no. Ew."

"Wait, if you're not here, then is she here?" Nate asked and went to poke at the angel.

"Touch me and I'll break your arm." The angel warned him, to which he retracted his arm.

"Oh, she's definitely real."

"This is Lute, she can be a real arm dealer if you know what I mean." The larger angel joked.

"Right. So, I'm happy we've got this opportunity to meet. There's a project that I've been working on that I really want to talk to you about..." Before she could continue, the angel pushed his holographic finger underneath her bottom lip to stop her from talking anymore.

"Hey hey hey hey, slow down. We've got time." He said leaning back in his chair, "How about we get to know each other a little mmm? How about lunch? You hungry? I got you." He said before pulling his plate of ribs off his large platter and held it to Charlie, "Here's my personal favorite, you'll love it." He said as Nate slid over.

"Don't mind if I do, good man." He said and went to grab one when his hand went through the plate. As the plate and ribs fizzed in and out from his touch the angel burst out laughing.

"HA!! I GOT YOU NOW! Fuckin' hilarious." He said after his hyper laughter while Charlie gave an unamused chuckled and Nate gave him a deadpan look.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked turning to Charlie.

"I'm confident." She whispered back before the two sat down.

{HOUR'S LATER}
On and on the angel talked and for Charlie and Nate, they seemed rather bored of listening to the angel boasting about himself and his sex life.

"So, I was playin' this gig, and for some fuckin' reason, this virtue chick was diggin' the drummer and it's like, 'do you know who I am? I'm fucking Adam. I'm the original dick!'" He said pointing to himself and his crouch, "All dicks descend from me. You think you want drummer dick? No way! I'm the Dick-fuckin' Master!" He said and ate the last rib he had on his plate, "So, anyway, then we fucked, and it was awesome. What'd you do this weekend?" He asked them.

"Wait, you're Adam? The Adam?!" Charlie asked, "Like the first man, Adam... that means you... Ohhhhhhhhhhhh." Charlie said, putting two and two together and soon winced cringing, "That explains so much."

"I know, I fucking rock." Adam complimented himself to which Nate chuckled to himself before looking at Charlie.

"That's what he thinks." He whispers to her. Charlie wasn't thrilled of talking to her mother's ex-boyfriend, but business comes first as she brushes off the awkwardness and coughs into her hand.

"Well, Adam, sir. Mr. Adam sir?"

"Call me, Dick Master." Adam persisted in being called that to which Charlie and Nate looked at each other.

"Adam." She said not willing to call what he preferred to be called, "You seem like a smart... well, stand up guy."

"Uh-huh."

"And I know you are the leader of the angels. And you are a big thinker, a revolutionary. A-a genius."

"I mean, your words babe." Adam said liking the compliments he is getting.

"Who would really love to put his name on something."

"I fucking love putting my name on shit! Shits the best!" Adam said in excitement.

"It's the solution to all our problems!"

"Ohhhh, herpes. Yeah that's a bitch."

"I agree, they are the fucking worst." Nate stated as he looked over to Charlie who was suddenly caught off with what Adam just said.

"Wha... no! Our other biggest problem."

"Oh... uh, ugly people?" He asked giving the reader a smirk, "Math?"

"We have calculators for that." Nate mumbled to himself.

"Global warming? Nah wait, that's Earth's problem... Uhmmmmmm." Adam scratched his head trying to think of what could be their biggest problem while Charlie started to glare at him, her left eye twitching in anger while Nate looked at his fingernails before looking back to her.

"Hey uh, I think you're getting a bit annoyed." He said to her. Only to receive a really horrific death glare from her, if looks could kill it would be at this moment that she would start killing, "Uh... hey uh, I wonder how Vaggies doing?" He asked trying to devote some of the tension that was building up.

{MEANWHILE}
Vaggie wasn't having the best of days herself as she was busy trying to make a new commercial, though at the moment she was groaning from frustration that the work she had wasn't gonna be good enough for a good commercial, due to Husk not having the script up to his eyes, to Angel being so horny whenever the camera was on him, with the last being Niffty suddenly freezing when the cameras on her.

Though trying her best, she clearly didn't know what to do at this moment as she stared at the broken TV, until Alastor arrived.

"Seems like you're having a bit of trouble there, hmm?" Alastor asked which Vaggie groaned in frustration.

"Este Pendejo, why are you even here?!" She asked him.

"For entertainment!" Alastor answered as he sat on the couch in front of her while his demonic shadow slid out and reappeared behind the couch making laughing gestures at Vaggie, "I came here because I love seeing wasteful souls struggle to accomplish something meaningful and fail spectacularly, like you are doing right now! Good job." He explains while Vaggie groaned in frustration again at his carefree insults.

"And here's Alastor..." She said pointing the camera at him, "The egocentric piece of shit that..." However, upon reaching his face the entire camera started to glitch violently, turning the screen into red and green patterns and warping the video, "GAH!" She yelled out and dropped the camera that was glitching and turned into static.

"I wouldn't try that my dear. This face was made for radio." Alastor states before everything started to go static again along with his eyes turning to dials but he immediately pulled himself out of it. Vaggie, clearly at her final straw got up from her seat and marched over to him.

"That's it! I don't care how or what you are. If you're staying here you're going to make this work, because it wouldn't be so 'entertaining'..." She said the last word while mocking Alastor, "To watch over an empty hotel will it, shitass?" She asked before returning to her chair. As much as he hates to admit it, she was right, without people here, this place would be rather dull and not entertaining for Alastor.

"Fair enough." He said before walking up to Vaggie, "I'll tell you what, let's make a deal." He said narrowing his eyes evilly.

"Pfft, you think I'm that stupid making a deal with a demon like you?"

"Not for your soul, just a simple deal. I do this for you, and you never ask me to engage with this frivolous television technology ever again." He offered to point to the television with his staff. Vaggie however seems reluctant to let Alastor do all the work and she pondered on the idea, "Or... Charlie can come back to absolutely nothing. Your choice." He said, removing his radio filter for the last part so he sounds normal. Vaggie sighed in response before looking up to the crooked smile of Alastor.

"Fine." She answered before picking up the camera and handing it to Alastor who used his magic to evaporate the camera with a clap of his hands in front of Vaggie's eyes, or er... eye.

"Now then!" He said and with the snap of his fingers, he transformed the bar into a small studio set with his own minions being the camera crew. Husk, Angel, Niffty, and if Vaggie also went through a transformation with their clothes transforming to a more 50's style attire.

"Alright everyone! Let's make a fucking commercial." Vaggie said now having the backing of Alastor, she was confident in their attempt this time.

{MEANWHILE}
Charlie looked exasperated as she lowered her head into her hands while Adam was busy going on another rant. Nate wasn't really paying attention anymore and was playing on his phone.

"And when you take her out for the fifth time and she still expects you to pay for the check but you're like, 'hey, I thought you wanted equality'."

"NO!" Charlie shouted out in frustration, getting Nate to lose his phone when he was startled by her outburst, "Our shared problem of overpopulation in Hell!" She said.

"Ohhh, well that's not a problem! We've got that covered! Lute how many demons did you kill this year?" Adam asked his second in command.

"Got a good 275 this year sir." She reports.

"275?! Woah! Badass! Awesome job danger tits. Pound it." Adam said while raising his fist up to her to fist bump which she did.

"Uh no, not awesome. Those are my people, you know that right?" Charlie asked.

"Oh yeah... that must suck for you!" Adam stated as he burst into laughter.

"But these are souls... human souls! Just the same as the ones you have up in Heaven."

"They're not the same." Lute immediately said, "They had their chance and they earned damnation."

"Boy tough crowd." Nate commented but Charlie pursued the argument.

"You're wrong. Sinners make mistakes, sure. But everyone makes mistakes."

"Angels don't make mistakes."

"You really think that." Charlie said with an annoyed look, even Nate had a very skeptical look.

"I know that."

"Yeah, I've never made a mistake in my fuckin' life."

"Hah!" Nate burst out, which he received a look from everyone, "Oh sorry sorry, I just thought of something." He lied before looking back down to his phone.

"Have you ever made a mistake, princess?" Adam asked, mocking Charlie's title.

"I have made thousands of small mistakes, some of them being a disaster to my people."

"The only reason you're still here is because Daddy gave you and your hellborn kind a pardon from an exorcist blade." Lute stated as she walked around Charlie, "How does that feel, knowing how little you matter."

"Wait hang on. I have a really dumb question."

"Does it have to do with this little thing she's working on?" Adam asked.

"Actually it's what Lute just said, something about Hellborns? Have you guys ever killed Hellborns, like Imps, Hellhounds?"

"If they are in Pride then they die like the rest... Lute answered."

"Ooo that was good, flew right off the tongue." Nate complimented before Lute continued.

"I was mostly talking about Miss Goodypride over here and her family." Lute gestured to Charlie.

"My mother disappeared seven years ago." Charlie stated rather angrily.

"While your daddy hides away in his castle creating ducks all day?" Lute added.

"Is that really all he fucking does now and days?" Adam asked before bursting into more laughter, "What a fucking loser."

"I just so happen to know that you... killed your own brother did you not?" Lute questioned.

"Don't... bring his name up." Charlie warned as her eyes began to turn from their normal yellow tint to more of a red as her devil started to rise up, "He was after my father's throne."

"Charlie don't." Nate yelled out getting her to calm down immediately before moving the strands of her hair away from her face. After that intense moment of arguing, Adam wiped a tear from his eye after all of his laughter before looking at his hour glass watch.

"Welp... almost out of time. Guess we should get into it." He said before resting his head into his hand.

"Oh fuck!" Charlie shouted, almost forgetting what they were all here for. She flew out of her chair and tried to get closer to Adam and Lute albeit tripping over the other chairs before finally reaching him, "Okay I've got a lot to get through and not a lot of time and I feel like you weren't hearing me before so here it goes." She said before clearing her throat.

{Hell is Forever}

(Charlie)
'I know Hell's population is out of control
It's a bad situation
It's taking a toll
If we rehab these Sinners
And cleanse all their souls
At my Hazbin Hotel—

Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself!
Right! Extermination!

I know you guys fly down
Just to kill once a year
And it must be annoying
To schlep all the way here
If they join you in Heaven
That trip disappears!
You can wave that chore farewell
It'll be a happy day in—'

(Adam)
'Let me stop you right, save us all precious time
(Uh okay?)

If what you're suggesting
Is letting them climb
Up the ladder
Oh, they'd rather cross the Pearly Gates?
(Well uh-)

Sorry, sweetie
But there's no defyin' their fates!

'Cause Hell is forever
Whether you like it or not
Had their chance to behave better
Now they boil in the pot

'Cause the rules are black and white
There's no use in tryin' to fight it
They're burnin' for their lives
Until we kill 'em again!'
(Okay, but-)

'Just try to chillax, babe
You're wasting your breath
(Hehe)

Did I hear you imply
That they don't deserve death?
Are they Winners?
Are they Sinners?
'Cause it's cut and dry
(Well, actually, if you take a look-)

Fair is fair, an eye for an eye!
And when all's said and done (Said and done)
There's the question of fun (Fun)
And for those of us with Divine Ordainment
Extermination is entertainment!
Bow-now-now-now-now
Guitar solo, fuck yeah!
Oh, da-nah-nah now-n-now, now-now-now-now'

"Ugh."

"He's not bad on a guitar solo." Nate complimented, which Charlie wasn't willing to hear it.

'Hell is forever
Whether you like it or not
Had their chance to behave better
(Where the Hell did you people come from?!)
Now they boil in the pot

'Cause the rules are black and white
There's no use in tryin' to fight it
They're burnin' for their lives
Until we kill 'em again!

Fuckin' Hell is forever
And it's meant to suck a lot!
So give up your dumb endeavor
'Cause you don't have a shot!

Long as I've got your attention
I guess I should probably mention
That we made the determination
To move up the next Extermination!'

"WHAT?! Nate and Charlie both asked in unison.

Can't wait a whole year
To slaughter those little cunts
I know it's just been a week
But we'll be back in six months!'

He finished the song and suddenly grabbed Charlie (though being a hologram) he tossed Charlie out of the room.

"Um, wait you-you!" She tried to say but was thrown out, "Ugh- SHIT!" She yelled out before the doors closed on her. Meanwhile on the other side Adam was shown laughing hysterically before dying down his laughter.

"So..." He heard and snapped a look over to see Nate leaning against the chair with his feet propped up, "That's a no, correct?" He asked them, to which Adam and Lute looked at each other before suddenly throwing him out of the room, slamming the doors closed, "RUDE!" Nate yelled out before standing there with his arms on his sides, "Jeeeesus, that guy was a major douchbag!" He said before looking down to see Charlie on her knees trying to recollect herself, "You uh, you okay?" He asked her.

"I'll be fine." She said before giving a sniff.

"Y-you sure, I mean you seem like you were ready for a fight."

"I said I'm fine!" She said a little more louder which got Nate to back up a small bit from her sudden outburst. Charlie now realizing she raised her voice at him, took a deep breath and stood up, dusting herself off before looking back to him, "Let's... let's go home." She said, and two began to exit without another word.

{LATER}
Upon arriving at the hotel Charlie was the first to enter the lobby with a very saddened face while Nate came in after her with a defeated look.

"Charlie!" They heard and saw Vaggie run up to Charlie and immediately hugged her, "How did it go? Did they listen?" She asked in anticipation.

"Well uh..."

"Oh yeah they totally listen to us." Nate said rather sarcastically, but it seems that Vaggie didn't catch on to it, either that or she was too excited to show them something.

"Oh! Come here, we got something to show you." Vaggie said and led Charlie over to the others who were sitting in front of the television.

"What's going..."

"Alastor had to pull some strings and it's about to air." Vaggie explains which Charlie eyes widened.

"I had to pull a few limbs too, hahaha!" Alastor chuckled as Charlie sat down next to Vaggie. 

"Wait, the commercial? You all made a new one?" She asked, which Niffty nodded her head without hesitation.

"Yeah, it's one of my better performances if I do say so myself." Angel said.

"That's... that's amazing." She exclaimed as her eyes began to glow proudly.

"Shh! It's starting." Angel said as the commercial just started.

"Welcome to the Hazbin Hote..." Before Vaggie could finish her sentence, the commercial cut off with breaking news from Channel 666 news, albeit infuriating everyone except Alastor, Niffty and Nate (who was laughing at the sudden interruption).

"Breaking news in Hell today!" Katie Killjoy announced as she and Tom appeared on screen, "We just received word from the Heaven Embassy that the next extermination is happening sooner than ever before." She reports which everyone except Alastor, Charlie and Nate looked confused, "Do you know what that means, Tom?"

"No, what does that mean, Katie?" Tom asked.

"It means we're all royally fucked!" Katie announced. The news then cut to a small crew that was standing in front of the clock tower and showed the hourglass immediately draining to the new date of Extermination, 176 days till the next extermination.

Screaming could be heard outside the hotel while inside, everyone looked at each other with complete shock. Vaggie immediately turned her attention towards Nate and glared at him, which he gave a nervous chuckle. 

"What... did... you... do?" She demanded before grabbing Nate by the shirt collar.

"HEY! It's not just my fault, it's Charlie, she didn't read the fucking fine print." 

"Vaggie! He's right..." Charlie spoke up getting everyone to look over at her, "It's my fault."

"C-Charlie what happened?"

"I... I should've read the contract." 

"What contract?" 

"A golden contract appeared in front of us and she signed it without reading it!" Nate exclaimed, to which Vaggie shoved Nate back and began cursing in Spanish, pacing back and forth.

"¡Puedo creer esta mierda!" She yelled out pulling her hair in frustration, "Now we only have six months to redeem a Sinner!" Suddenly a brick was thrown through a nearby window and landed right next to KeeKee who jumped up scared and hurried over to Charlie, who picked her quickly.

"Uh, guys?" Angel called out and pointed out the broken window which upon looking out, everyone can see a riot happening within Pentagram City.

"They're acting like fucking animals." Vaggie stayed, to which Alastor gave a chuckle as he was shown still sitting in his seat, taking a sip of his tea.

"Such a beautiful sight ain't it my dear." He said as he got up from his seat to inspect the carnage.

"We need to calm these guys down." Vaggie said as another brick went through the window and everyone ran out of the way to safety.

"B-but how? Even I couldn't calm them down with a performance." Angel stated as he looked a bit panicked by the amount of people rioting. Suddenly, Nate got an idea.

"Alastor!" He called out, "I need to enter your radio studio." He said, to which Alastor adjusted his monocle.

"And uh, why should I?"

"I know how to calm them down." Nate answered to which Alastor seemed to ponder but quickly walked over to a nearby door and opened it, revealing that the door magically made a shortcut to his studio.

"Wait, Nate what are you..." Charlie tried to say but it was too late, Nate immediately ran and slammed the door behind him. When Charlie opened the door, it revealed to be a normal room, "Alastor please put up the short cut to your studio." She begged but Alastor pondered for a moment.

"My dear, what ever do you mean?"

"Don't play fucking dumb with us Cabron! Do what you did to Nate!" Vaggie demanded.

{MEANWHILE}
Once Nate slammed the door behind him he hurried over to the studio and looked around to see how to turn it on.

"Come on, come on! How do I switch these things on?"

"YOU'RE NOT ALASTOR!" He suddenly heard in front of him which caused him to jump back a bit. Looking down, he found the origin of the voice which turned out to be Alastor's mic (the one he has on his staff must be a normal mic)

"Wait, I thought you..."

"I'm here to keep the studio running when he is absent, and you're not him." The mic explains.

"Well I guess explains a lot, but yes I'm not him, I'm Nate, I need to turn this on." Nate said gesturing to the studio.

"My master doesn't like people touching his studio." The mic said.

"Listen copper stick, people are going crazy out there and I need to calm them down, so please work with me here." He begged to which the mic rolled its eye in annoyance.

"Fine! But just this is one time."

"Great! Now do you turn on?" He asked.

{MEANWHILE}
Down in the streets the people were shown running around like it's the end of the world, or like it was Black Friday. Demons killing one another brutally while others shattered store glasses to ransack and steal whatever they could get their hands on. In Cannibal Town, most of the residences were shown barricading their doors while some started to kill and eat each other. In Imp City it was absolutely chaos where gang warfare broke out in the streets.

However, all over these cities were large speakers that could be seen from the streets and suddenly an extremely loud screeching noise overcame the airwave, halting everyone in their tracks.

{BACK AT HAZBIN HOTEL}
Once the elevator reached a certain floor, the doors were forcibly opened by Vaggie who raced out of the elevator followed by Charlie who looked extremely worried.

"Vaggie slows down, whatever Nate is planning is probably for the best." She said as Vaggie continued her pursuit.

"That's not what I'm worried about, I'm more worried that he might say something that..." Before she could continue she suddenly skidded to a halt while Charlie ran into her back. Soon they both heard it... they heard... singing.

{A Million Dreams}

(Nate)
'I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own'

"Do you hear that?" Vaggie asked.

'Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home'

"That's Nate... h-he's singing?" Charlie asked as the two hurried to the studio.

'They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make'

The music continued as they finally reached the studio, to see that Nate was indeed singing and it was very soothing, almost making them forget about the shortening of the extermination date. Meanwhile outside, it is shown that most of the demons had stopped rioting and looting to listen in onto the soothing music.

'There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design'

While they listened in, Charlie and Vaggie looked at each other with a smile as they continued to listen. Mostly were impressed that Nate wasn't all about hard rock it seems.

'Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make'

Nate switched off the broadcast, signaling he was finished with his song and turned to see Charlie and Vaggie standing by the doorway.

"That... that was beautiful Nate." Charlie complimented him, whose eyes widened.

"Oh, I uh, I wasn't expecting you guys to listen."

"I really wasn't prepared for that Nate, after your last performance I mean." Vaggie said as the two entered the studio.

"I uh, I thought that singing would calm the down."

"I believe it did." Charlie said before looking out the windows to see some of the fighting had started up again but wasn't as chaotic as it was before, "Well... kind of." She said.

"Well... it did for a brief moment."

"Maybe... maybe you could be the answer to a peaceful future."

"Who knows. But... I am hungry after that."

"Well you're in luck, after the success of our new commercial, I decided to order pizza, it should be there by the time we get down to the lobby." Vaggie said as she walked to the door and opened for Charlie and Nate with a hand on her hip.

"Pizza!? Count me in!" Nate exclaimed in excitement and ran out of the studio to which Vaggie and Charlie looked at each other and shrugged before leaving the studio.

{MEANWHILE}
A strange drone flew over a nearby battlefield before stopping over something. With the shine of its spotlight, it spotted a headless angel with its head completely missing as the drone scanned the corpse.

"We found the body sir." Lute reported as she stood in front of a screen that was showing the scanning of the body, "They've never managed to kill one of us before. We should go down there now and destroy them."

"No no. We can't risk them catching on." Adam stated, "But don't worry, when we come back, there won't be a demon left alive to pull a stunt like this again!" He shouted before slamming his fist on the projector, causing the room to go completely dark with only his glowing eyes and teeth remaining. Smiling evilly.
