"You uh, guys do that... I'm gonna... I'm gonna make a quick phone call." Charlie said pulling out her phone and slipped though some nearby doors. Once she closed the door, she quickly turned on her phone and went straight to her contacts to find her mom, dialed her, before pulling it up to her ear.

After several minutes of waiting for her mother to call, it went to voicemail which she looked defeated by this.

"Hey Mom." She began, trying to sound bubbly as usual, "I know, I keep calling you and you must be very busy... r-really busy." She said with a fake laugh, "But um, hey uh, the interview didn't uh, didn't go so well." She explains as she shrank to her knees, "And... I uh, I don't know if I can ever make a difference." Charlie said.

Tears started to form and roll down her cheeks as she wiped her eyes.

"I... I don't know what I'm doing... I could really use your advice mom. I... I think you were right about what Dad said." She sadly laughed before sitting in silence for a bit, "Anyway..." She said wiping her face again, "I'll stop talking before this gets too long." She said and stood up trying to regain her posture, "Love you... bye." She said very weakly as she hanged up the phone. As she soon as she ended the voicemail tears began to flow again as she leaned against the door. Today did not go the way she wanted them to.

{EARLIER THAT DAY}
"Alright, you know what to say?" Vaggie asked Charlie in a calm matter as she fixed Charlie's bow. Charlie took a deep breath before showing a smile of confidence.

"Let's do this." She said but Vaggie could tell that she was still a little nervous.

"Just look at me, and I'll mouth it to you." She said but Charlie frowned at this idea and leaned back. Charlie was capable of giving speeches before... though it was for her schools debate team which was only in front of a small audience... this will be front of every demon that has television.

"Come on Vaggie, I know what to say. I just think we should... you know, make things sound more exciting." She said as she pondered on what she could do to spice things up. It didn't take her long though as her eyes immediately lit up which worried Vaggie, "I know! What if I..."

"Sing a song about it?"

"You knew I was gonna say that!" Charlie said as she held Vaggie and booped her nose (rather cutely like)

"That's because I do know you." Vaggie answered but then became serious, "But please don't sing to them, this is serious." She pleaded with her, to which Charlie looked down in disappointment.

"Well you know I'm better at expressing myself through song."

"Life isn't a musical, Hon." Vaggie reiterated to Charlie who was in a table but soon sighed in agreement and got off the table thanks to Vaggies help.

"Fine. But... I have these other ideas of what to say!" Charlie said excitedly as she reached into ur coat pocket and pulled out a piece of notebook paper, "The highlighted bits are the best part!" She said as she handed Vaggie the paper to look over what she means.

"Hon... all of this is highlighted." Vaggie mentioned as she traversed down the paper and stopped at the bottom, "And whats with the drawing?"

"That is the happy ending! Where we'll sing a song and everyone will be honkey dorry." Charlie answered with excitement as her eyes sparkleed in joy. Vaggie groaned as she rubbed her eye not liking the idea which Charlie immediately picked up on, "Fine fine. Guess I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improve skills." She said with a British accent before kissing Vaggie on the cheek for luck as she headed out for her interview. Vaggie was taken back by the sudden kiss but playfully rolled her eye and giggled before watching her girlfriend.

Charlie immediately came out during the break, but upon entering the set, she immediately felt the tension in the room as she approached Katie.

"Hi! I'm Charlie!" She greeted Katie and stuck her hand out, only to receive a face full of smoke in her face by Katie.

"Katie Killjoy." She greeted back rudely before throwing her cigarette away, "I would say it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would be a lie since I'm very busy most of the time reporting on more important shit, and you can put that thing away... I wouldn't want your gayness to 'rub' off on me. I have standards." She said pointing to Charlie's hand, who seemed confused but retracted her hand from Katie.

"Yeah? And uh, how's that... how's that working out for ya?" Charlie asked nervously trying to make small talk.

"Look princess, my time is money and the only reason we have you here not because we need you... you're here 'cause Jeffery couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment." Katie stated, resulting in Charlie slumping down in her chair a little bit as Katie sort of looked down at her, "You might be some royal bug shot that lives in a fancy fuckin' hotel, but that means shit when you're here. I'm too rich and too influential to give a flying fuck about some fancy 'tux-wearing princess' has to advertise." She said poking at Charlie and taunting her as much as she can. Thomas however can be seen shaking his head at her boasting.

"B-but I..."

"So don't get all cute with me honey... or I will fucking bury you."

"And... we're live." The director announced as he pointed to Katie who quickly darted back to her seat adjusted herself, fixing her papers together and cracked her neck (you can see her entire neck twist disgustingly) in preparation, plastering a smile on her face.

"Welcome back all you craze freaks. So... Charlotte." She glanced over to Charlie who laughed nervously.

"It's uh Charlie." She corrected Katie as a spotlight shined into her.

"Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project that you've been insistently pestering our news station about?" Katie asked, clenching her pen aggressively trying to vault her already enraging outburst from Charlie's correction.

Charlie frantically looked around before laying her eyes on Vaggie who gave her a thumbs up in support.

"Well, as you most know I was born here in Hell and growing up, I've always tried to see the good in everyone around me." She explains as Katie spotted a slug on the table and stabbed it with her pen, causing blood to spill out and fly out of the fresh kill, "Hell is my home... a-and you are my people. We... we just went t-through another Extermination..." She continues but immediately started to lose mostly everyone, including Katie, "We've lost so many souls, and it breaks my heart to see my people slaughtered every year."

Vaggie watches from the sideline with her fists clenched in excitement and happy to see that Charlie was staying on track.

"No one is even given a chance! I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to violence." Charlie continued, "So. I've been thinking: Isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation here in Hell?" She asked the audience (which was the camera crew), "Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption? Well I think yes!" She answered her question, "So, that's what this project aims to achieve! Ladies and Gentlemen... I'm opening the first of it kind! A hotel to rehabilitate Sinners!" She announced... only getting a cricket sound from everyone, "Y'know? 'Cause hotels are for people passin' through... temporarily. I think it'll serve a purpose... a uh, place to work toward redemption... yay." She said trying to get people to understand but they still didn't see what she means.

"Come on Hon, don't lose your cool now." Vaggie whispered to herself.

"Stupid bitch." A cameraman commented which only Vaggie could hear and immediately socked the demon in the face.

"Look... every single one of you has something good, deep down inside. I know you do." She stated trying to reel them in but she's that's she not getting their attention. Suddenly she has an idea, "You know what? Maybe I'm not getting through to you." She said and whistled to her two servants.

Her servants are smaller goat-like demons that have similar red fur, long black horns, yellow eyes with red irises, similar suits, and red bow ties. However, one has more pink fur and his eyes are reptilian-like with thin vertical pupils, while the others fur is more scarlet and his eyes are larger, with his pupils being round and circular.

Both possess dragon-like wings, and their tails are long with the end shaped into a point. Their "hands" have close resemblance to hooves, and their cheeks have pink spots, as well as what appear to be freckles located beside their eyes. The pink fur ons appears to have a normal looking tongue, while the scarlet fur one has a more snake-like one.

They were busy eating donuts when they heard her whistle for them, to which they immediately dropped their sweets and flew past Vaggie.

"Oh... no." Vaggie said in absolute horror as Charlie's little servants flew over and prepared some instruments as Charlie snapped her fingers, getting the room to go dark before a spotlight shined on her.

(Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow)

I have a dream,
I'm here to tell
About a wonderful, fantastic new hotel

Yes, it's one of a kind, right here in Hell
Catering to a specific clientele
(Oooh-ooh-ooh)

Inside of every demon is a rainbow!
Inside every sinner is a shiny smile!
Inside of every creepy hatchet-wielding maniac,
Is a jolly, happy, cupcake-loving child!

We can turn them 'round!
They'll be Heaven-bound!
With just a little time down at the Happy Hotel!

So, all you junkies, freaks, and weirdos,
Creepers, fuck-ups, crooks, and zeroes,
And downfallen superheroes, hope is here!

All of you cretins, sluts, and losers,
Sexual deviants and boozers
And prescription drug abusers
Need not fear!

Forever again
We'll cure your sin
We'll make you well, you'll feel so swell
Right here in Hell, at the Happy Hotel!

There'll be no more fire,
And no more screams
Just puppy dog kisses, and cotton candy dreams
And puffy-wuffy clouds, you're gonna be like "Wow!"
Once you check in with meeeee~!

So, all your cartoon porn addictions,
Vegan rants, psychic predictions,
Ancient Roman crucifixions
End right here!

All you monsters, thieves, and crazies,
Cannibals and crying babies,
Frothing mouth that's full of rabies,
Filled with cheer!

You'll be complete!
It'll be so neat!
Our service can't be beat!
You'll be on easy street! (Yes!)
Life will be sweet at the Happy Hotel~!'

"YEAH!" She finished singing as she seemed exhausted from her performance, only to be given silence again.

"Wow... that was shit!" One demon yelled out, getting literally everyone (except Vaggie) to laugh hysterically at Charlie. Feeling completely defeated and devastated, she melted into her seat with sadness, while some of the demons booed her.

"What in the Nine Rings of Hell..." Katie said trying to regain herself after her laughing fit, "You really think a single demon of Hell would give two shits about becoming a better person?" She asked finally done laughing but Charlie doesn't answer, "You have no proof that this little experiment of yours even works. You want people to be good just... because?" She questioned. She does have a point, it's never been documented that a Sinner ever redeemed themselves to go to heaven. But her laughing into Charlie's face, who was willing to give it a shot is definitely not a way to prove a point.

"W-well we have a patron already, he believes in our cause and he's shown some incredible progress." Charlie defended her project.

"Oh really? And who might that be?" Katie asked stretching her neck out to Charlie who tried to look smug and confident at her answer.

"Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust."

"The porn star?" Thomas asked as Katie turned to him menacingly.

"'Course you fuckin' know him Tom, bet you even slept with him." She said as she scratched the table leaving marks on the table, "Besides that's not even an accomplishment." She added, turning back to Charlie, "I bet you could get that hooker to do anything with enough boogers sugar and lube."

"Oh, I beg to differ." Charlie said to which Thomas quickly whispered something into Katie who was about to shove him away but soon listen to what he had to say before smiling.

"Oh really? Well... have you done the booger sugar and lube before?" She asked with a grin which Charlie's eyes widened.

"Uh, what?!"

"Wasn't it true that you performed a music video with some... musician?"

"We uh... we don't talk about that!" Charlie stated in frantic.

"I mean I heard he paid a handsome fee for you, 50k I was told." Thomas mentioned.

"THE POINT IS..." Charlie interrupted him before clearing her throat, pushing some of her hair behind her ears with her fingers, "The point is, Angel has been behaved, clean and out of trouble for two weeks now." She said when a director handed Katie a piece of breaking news, to which Katie immediately shoved Charlie off her table, causing her to crash onto the floor.

"Breaking News! We've just received an update on the turf war between Sir Pentiotous and Cherry Bomb." She announced, "Recent events revealed that a lone Sinner has entered the battle field and fired a rocket at Sir Pentiotous air ship, causing it crash into the street." She reports as a video recording of Nate (with his back turned to the camera) aiming the rocket launcher and firing it at the blimp, "Following up on this news, we have live coverage of the turf war which has really heated up, let's take you now to the live feed." She added which cuts to Angel stepping on an Egg Boi and threw a grenade at Sir Pentiotous laughing historically (though they only showed Angel and not Cherry).

"I'M A BAD PERSON BABY!" He yelled out while Charlie watched in sheer horror that her patron involved himself into the turf war.

"Oh... shit." She said in terror.

"'Oh shit' indeed. It looks like the one who just joined the battle is non other than porn actor... Angel Dust." She reported before giving Charlie a grin, "What a juicy coincidence! You must feel really stupid right now, and now that I think about it, I think we should show people that music video of yours." She added as they began to show some of that controversial music video while she and Thomas laughed.

"Ratings!" They said in unison while performing jazz hands.

"No No! Don't watch this!" Charlie yelled out, while trying to block the footage.

"Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival. Tell us... how does it feel to be a total failure?" She dug in the question with a smile as she loommed over Charlie. The words 'total failure' began to dig into Charlie harder than a punch in the ribs as everyone around her started pointing and laughing at her.

"Yeah well..." She said trying to think of a comeback and decided to snatched the pen from Katie, "How does it feel that I got your pen to huh?!... Bitch!" She remarked getting a gasp from everyone. Thomas immediately sank in his chair while Katie gave Charlie the most deadliest of deaths stares, "Oops." Charlie chuckled as Thomas immediately ran from the set as Katie started to transform into her full demonic form (Which she turned into a flesh colored praying mantis) and towered over Charlie.

"We should probably go." Vaggie said as she tried to grab Charlie but it was too late, Charlie wasn't gonna back down from this and her and Katie began to brawl all over the set.

{FLASHBACK ENDS}
Charlie was shown slumped against the door remembering how hard she tried to get the people to understand her plan, but all it did was end in a brawl with Katie Killjoy. Though entertaining to some, it didn't help that Angel went off to do this turf war and throw the very idea of the hotel reputation to the ground. Now it was the fact that Charlie became the biggest laughing stock in all of Hell.

Hitting the back of her head on the door she was laying against, she almost began to tear up again when a loud pounding could be heard behind the door she was laying on, getting her to jump.

Rubbing her eyes, she continued to stare at the door before the pounding on the other side began again, now with her curiosity up, she tried her best to look as presentable as she could before slowly going over to the door and opening revealing a figure towering over her.

This figure was a slim, dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has a broad smile full of sharp, yellow teeth. Towering over Charlie he must be standing at approximately 7 feet at least.

He sported a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown. He wore a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wore a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye.

His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoofed toes and red fingers

He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. He also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it.

The figures eyes snapped opened, revealing a dark-red sclera, bright-red irises and thin black pupils, to which Charlie eyes widened in shock and horror.

"HEL..."

SLAM

Went the door as the entire room went to complete silence, as Charlie to her side in disbelief, before reopening the door.

"LO!" The figure hilariously finished his hello before getting the door slammed on his face again.

"Hey Vaggie!" Charlie yelled out.

"What?!" She heard as Charlie quickly walked over to her.

"The uh Radio Demon is at the door." She explains pushing her cheeks with her fingers making a large smile before nervously pointing to the door.

"WHAT?!" Vaggie asked, her eye windening with shock.

"Who?" Angel asked as he stopped sucking on his lollipop.

"Are you serious?" Patchy asked sort of in an annoyed look."

"The Radio Demon?" Nate asked in confusion.

"WHAT SHOULD I DO?!" Charlie asked dragging her fingers underneath her eyes in stress.

"Well, Don't let him in!" Vaggie answered while everyone else blankly stared at Charlie. Seeing that no one else had another option and that Charlie didn't seem to like the idea of just shutting out this Radio Demon, she took a deep breath and marched over to the door, opening the door to see that the figure was still standing there.

"May I speak now?" He asked rather gentlemanly like.

"You may."

"Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart!" The figure named Alastor greeted Charlie shaking her hand furiously, his voice was very interesting, almost as if he had a 1920's radio stuck in his throat "Quite the pleasure!" He said before letting himself in, "Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on the picture show and I just couldn't resist, what a performance!" He yelled out waving his hands out in the air as the sounds of cheering could be heard, which confused an already confused Charlie who continued to look at her hand on disbelief, "Why I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929!" He laughed as a laugh track began while he walked away from Charlie, fiddling his mic staff, "So many orphans." He added with his voice tuning to his normal voice when he was stopped by a spear to the face.

"Stop Right There!" Vaggie demanded while Nate was shown standing behind her looking up in shock at this tall figure, "Cabrón hijo de perra! I know your game and I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here you pompous, cheesy talkshow, shitlord!" She yelled at him to which he simply chuckled in response.

"Believe me Deary..." He said and delicately moved the spear with his finger, "If I wanted to hurt anyone here... I wOuLd'vE DoNe sO AlLreAdy." He said as he cocked his head and everyone's vision went to static before going back to normal.

"Oh... this guy is definitely a character." Nate commented hiding behind Vaggie.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to frighten you. No, I'm here because we want to help." He said throwing out his arms.

"Say what now?" Charlie asked im complete shock.

"Help!" Alastor answered with a laugh, "Hello? Is this thing on?!" He asked tapping the mic on his mic staff, "Testing Testing!"

"Well I heard you loud and clear!" The mic suddenly said forming a face.

"Um, you want to help?" Charlie asked before glancing over to Vaggie, "With..." Before she could finish asking, Alastor suddenly teleported behind them, wrapping his arms around them.

"This ridiculous thing you're trying to do! This hotel!" He answered, gesturing out to the hotel, "I want to help you run it." He exclaimed.

"But... whhyyyy?" She asked to which he laughed.

"Why does anyone do anything? Sheer! Absolute boredom! I've lacked inspiration for decades. My work became mundane, lacking focus." He stated, shoving Vaggie to the side, to which Nate ran over to help her up, "Aimless, I've come to crave a new form of entertainment." He laughed as Charlie rubbed her arm.

"Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment?" She asked.

"The purest kind my dear." He answered, "Reality, true passion! After all the world is a stage, and the stage is a world of entertainment." He stated.

"So does this mean, you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?" She asked with hopeful eyes. However, he just laughs hysterically.

"Of course not! That's wacky nonsense." He shaking his hand, "Redemption... oh the non-existent humanity! No no no no no, I don't think there's anything left that could be such loathsome sinners." He said while looking at Vaggie who was angry at his remark, and to Angel who just simply shrugged, however his eyes landed on Nate who stared back with confusion, "You sir, you seem new to this place." He stated as Nate placed his hands on his hips.

"You could say that... but I've been here for an entire year." He answered which made Alastor cock his head to the side.

"Seem to have slipped by since I've been away for some time." He said spinning his mic staff in his hands before fixing his monocle.

"Been away?" Nate mouthed to both Vaggie and Charlie who both shrugged.

"Now where was I..." Alastor said to himself scratching his chin as his large sharp tooth smile appeared, "Ah yes, the chance given was the life they lived before, the punishment is this!" He smiled as he put his arms out figuratively gesturing to all of Hell, "There is no undoing what is done!" He stated, resulting in Charlie looking a little upset by his remark.

"So then, why do you wanna help me if you don't believe in my cause?" She asked.

"Consider it an investment for ongoing entertainment for myself." He stated as he grabbed Charlie making her twirl, "I want to watch the scum of the world climb up the hill of betterment only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the firey pit's of failure." He explains in a dark twisted matter with the last part in his normal voice. Charlie (now uncomfortable with his statement) removed his hand from her shoulder.

"Rrrrrright."

"That doesn't sound like a good reason for wanting to help." Patchy rasied an eyebrow, as both Vaggie and Charlie looked at him.

"Oh come come now it is to me." Alastor said, spinning his mic staff before planting it next to him.

"Don't remind me Alastor." Patchy crossed his arms.

"Indeed." Alastor agreed with him and grabbed Charlie by the waist walking with her, "I can see great things coming your way, and who better to help than I?" He sold the idea to Charlie as he trailed off explaining things to her.

"Uh, so... uh what's the deal with smiles over there." Angel Dust pointed to Alastor.

"Wait... you never heard of him? You've been here longer than me!" Vaggie said in shock as Angel just simply shrugged.

"Does 'the Radio Demon' ring a bell to you?" Patchy asked.

"The most powerful demon in all of hell?" Vaggie asked only for Angel to just shake his head.

"Eh, not big on politics." He shrugged.

"I'm not either." Nate added, raising his hand, which got Vaggie to groan angrily.

"Decades ago, Alastor manifested in Hell..." She began to explain, however Angel Dust didn't seem to care while Nate listened in, "Seemingly overnight. He began to topple Overlords, who have been dominate for centuries. That kind of raw power..."

"Ya done?" Angel said cutting her off with a dry laugh, "He looks like a strawberry pimp." He stated as Vaggie groan and Patchy facepalmed himself.

"Do you think he came here to destroy your guy's work?"

"I don't know, but one things for sure I don't trust him."

"Do you trust any man? Any men? Men?!" Angel asked as Vaggie looked away.

"Oh she doesn't like men?" Nate asked.

"Yeah she hates them with a passion." Angel smirked, "Stick with me kid and I'll show you the wild side." He lean onto Nate who didn't seem comfortable.

"Shut the fuck up Angel, look I don't 'hate' men, I just I don't trust 'em."

"She doesn't even trust me and I'm a doctor. She thinks I'll take advantage of her due to her uh... issue." Patchy remarked.

"You mean that big red 'X'?" Nate asked pointing to the 'X' which she immediately turned and covered the 'X' with her hand.

"Yeah, she said that she committed suicide by shooting herself in the eye, which I don't believe is true due to where her 'X' is, it's where the frontal bone is which is the strongest part of a human skull, but I'm just a simple doctor that does piracy."

"Look, what happened to me isn't what's important, what's important is, is that we have the most powerful Overlord standing here talking to Charlie." She said, turning back to Charlie who was being sold on ideas by Alastor.

"You said they're dating?" Nate asked Patchy.

"Yep, they've started dating about... two months ago? I don't remember, a cute couple though." He commented as they saw Alastor and Charlie walking back, to which Vaggie ran over to Charlie, and took her to the side.

"Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe this creep! He isn't just a happy face! He's a deal maker, pure evil! He can't be redeemed and is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do." She stated.

"I..." Charlie began but sighed, "We don't know that! Look, I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't wanna change, but the whole point of this is to give people a chance." Charlei explains as they both looked at Alaster who was inspecting a portrait, of Charlie who was standing with two taller demons that looked very similar to Charlie who Nate believe to be her parents.

"C-Charlie?" He spoke up, getting both their attentions, "May I throw in my two cents?"

"You may."

"I kinda agree with Vaggie." He states,  "Vaggie says he's the most powerful Overlord in all of Hell."

"And he is." Vaggie remarked.

"But... I think that could be a good thing."

"I'm sorry what?!" Vaggie asked, now confused as was Charlie.

"He could be an ally for this Hotel."

"No, completely impossible." Vaggie said, immediately discouraging Nate.

"Vaggie." Charlie said sternly, "Let him speak, continue Nate." She said urging Nate on to continue.

"Look, judging by your reactions to mentioning of said stunt that you guys pulled at this news studio, people aren't going to come here. but with Alastor..." He said glancing over to the tall demon, "Like Vaggie said, yes he's a very powerful Overlord and shouldn't be trusted... but, he could pull some strings right?"

"Okay?"

"And him begin a powerful Overlord, would mean he would have followers right?"

"Right."

"So... if he's followers were to hear that Alastor is here helping with the quote, 'rediculous thing you're working on' then they would..."

"They would follow." Charlie finished the sentence with a hint of understanding and excitement.

"Exactly, and with his help, it could get them to change there minds." Nate stated to both of them. Vaggie at first seemed very very furious for him to suggest the sort of thing to them, but the more Vaggie thought about it the more it began to make sense, to which she sighed in defeat.

"As much as I hate to admit it, Nate might be right, but I just feel you shouldn't do this." Vaggie warned, "We don't need him to ruin everything."

"But I can't just throw him out like that Vaggie, it goes against everything that I'm trying to build, everything that we're trying to achieve, everything that I believe in." She stated while putting her hands on Vaggie's shoulders, "Just... Just trust me, I can handle myself." She showed her smile to which Vaggie who reculantly sighed in frustration.

"Fine... whatever. Just don't..." She place her hands around Charlie's cheeks, "Don't ever make a deal with him... okay?" She asked to which Charlie giggled.

"Hey don't worry, if my dad taught me anything, and he taught me alot, but one thing that I picked was. 'You don't take shit from any other demons.'" She clear her throat after imitating her dad and she walked over to Alaster, "Okay, so, Al, if that's okay with you."

"Eh, fine by my dear." He smiled, to which she cough in thought.

"Well uh, as we all know your uh... sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to is a joke." She said the last part a bit softer to mostly herself but Alastor overheard it causing symbols to appear around before she turned to face him again to which the symbols quickly disappeared, "But I don't. I think everyone here has a chance to prove that they can be better." She said before glancing at Vaggie who gave her a soft smile, "So I'm taking your offer to help, on the condition that there be no... tricks or voodoo strings attached." Alaster rolled his eyes keeping his smile as he twirled his mic staff extending his hand out in gesture while a green energy arised around the hotel.

"So it's a deal then?" He asked with his toothy grin.

"I don't think I would shake 'that' hand especially with all the green flashing lights." Nate stated as Vaggie crossed her arms in agreement.

"Nope! No shaking! No dealing! I... hmmm." Charlie pondered before getting an idea, "As princess of Hell, and heir to the throne, I, uh, hearby order that you help with this hotel. For as long as you desire." A wolf howl could be heard in the background as Charlie looked over to Nate and Vaggie nervously for approval, to which Nate gave her a reassuring smile while giving her thumbs up, Vaggie smiled as well nodding her head, "Sounds fair?" She asked.

"Hmmmm." Alastor scratched his chin for a quick ponder before retracting his mic staff, "Fair enough." He answered and walked by her.

"Cool beans." She sighed in relief giving a thumbs up to herself.

As Alastor walked around, inspecting his new home away from him, he walked past Vaggie who was still burrowing her eyes at him.

"Smile more my dear!" He suddenly said stopping in front of her and pinching her cheeks and pushing them up to form a smile which Vaggie was having none of it, "Believe me, it suits you better." He stated  Vaggie was super close to just biting his fingers off but she controlled herself and glared at him, "Charlie my dear, where is your hotel staff?"

"Well uhh..." She chuckled simply gesturing over to Vaggie and Angel who were both just sitting on the couch, Alastor laughs slightly as he adjusted his monocle.

"Oh Ho Ho. Your going to need more than that." He stated as he walked over to Angel, "And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?"

"I can suck your dick." Angle smiled.

"HAH! No." Alaster quickly said to which Angel just shrugged.

"Your loss." He stated as Alaster basically slithered over to an already terrified Nate.

"And how about you my industrious fellow what can you do?" He asked with a smile.

"Well let's see..." Nate pondered, "Well I do street art, making fun of Vox is my specialty."

"Ah, so you were the one who recently made that hilariously artwork that says..."

"'I sell garbage?!' Yep that was me."

"I must say you do have a talent for making street art."

"But uh, before I came to Hell, I used to love music." He added, to which Alastor eyes widened with excitement.

"Well what a coincidence, we have another musican on our hands how delighted to meet another genius in the art of music." He stated, patting Nate's back.

"Yeah well... I wouldn't call myself a genius... but thanks for the compliment." He smiled.

"Anytime my good fellow and like I always say, you're never fully dressed without a smile." He said before walking back to Charlie, "But this won't do. Only three people able to work for this Hotel... it will just put us into the ground of absolute failure." He explains.

Vaggie was about to say something  but Alastor pushed his mic staff up under her chin, keeping her from talking.

"I guess I have to conder up some folks who are willing to help." With a snap of his finger a brand new fireplace appeared over the worn down one where soot immediately flew out covering the floor in front of it.

He then walked over to the fireplace and picked up a mysterious figure who was covered in soot until it opened up its eye and stared at the four of them, then suddenly it poofed the soot away from its body.

She is revealed to be a small, cyclops demon with pointed limbs, yellow pointed teeth, white skin and of course her one eye. Her eye sports a light yellow iris, thick eyelashes, and a hot-pink sclera with a yellow gradient. Her pupil has a pie eye cut.

Her red-pink hair is kept into a slightly messy bob cut with swirls on each side, and a single light yellow streak located at the top. Her mouth has sharp light pale yellow teeth inside and black lips, and small hot-pink dots on each of the corners.

Her attire is that of a black neckerchief around her neck, and a 1950s red-pink maid dress under a white apron with three hot-pink dripping splotches. She also wears long black gloves which cover most of her hands and arms, along with matching-colored tights.

"This little darling is Niffty." He stated as

Niffty hopped out of his grasp and zoomed over to greet them.

"Hi I'm Niffty, it's nice to meet you, it's been awhile since I made new friends." She smiled but then her eye laid on Nate as she almost pounced on him, "Oooh your cute, what's your name, are you single, you a bad boy?!" She asked in a speed of a million miles an hour with the last part being more mischievous as she crawled on top of his head.

"Uhhh... Alastor?" Nate asked rather uncomfortably before Niffty hoped off of him and fixed her dress once she landed.

"Is this it, only one guy and the rest woman, is there more men?!" She asked in a rush as she picked up Charlie but quickly place her down, "I'm sorry that's rude of me." She stated as her eye shifts faster than anyone has ever seen, "Oh man, this place is filthy! It really needs a ladies touch." She stated as she picks up a spider with her bare hands and crushes it, "Which is weird cause most of you are woman... no offense." She smiled as she wiped out a dustpan and brush, "Oh this is completely awful." She stated as like the flash zooms through the entire hotel sweeping, "Nope, nope, nope, nope!" She then noticed a cockroach and stabs it with a toothpick, "Nope!" She said as she zipped around to clean some more, everyone watched in awe.

"Fuck, she's fast." Vaggie stated as Niffty zoomed past her.

"You know she's definitely getting a nickname, Swifty Niffty." Nate joked which cause Charlie to put a hand over her mouth trying not to laugh.

"What the fuck is this." Another voice could be heard which everyone turned to see an anthropomorphic avian cat demon.

His look is evocative of a magician, paired with a casino referencing playing card theme. The sclera of his eyes are black, with light yellow irises and slit pupils. He has large and lengthy, red feather-like eyebrows with black vertical stripes near the tips, and a small black heart above each eyebrow.

His fur is a dark taupe, overlayed with white on his face, torso, feet, and upper arms. The insides of his ears are white with a red tip at the point and red heart in the center. A black tuff of fluff protrudes from each, creating the appearance of small hearts.

He has a darker shade of his fur encircling his ankles, mimicking cuffs on a set of pants. His tail is long and dark taupe-colored, ending with a large spray of plume-like feathers which are a vivid-red with black and white stripes. He has heart-shaped, light yellow paw-pads underneath the paws on his hands and feet.

His wings are large and red, with darker-taupe on the undersides. The undersides of his wings are decorated with black stripes which feature red and white roulette wheel dot markings. The outside of his wings are decorated with more black stripes, which wrap around the joints and run around a row of white roulette wheel dots.

Husk wears minimal clothing, which consists of a black top hat with a red band and a gold button-like decoration, a red bowtie around his neck, and a set of black trousers which are held by black suspenders over his shoulders.

"YOU!" He yelled out furiously.

"Ah, Husker, my old friend! Glad you could make it!"

"Don't you 'Husker' me, you son of a bitch! I was about to win the whole dame pot!" He yelled as the jackpot disappeared into nothingness.

"Good to see you too." Alastor said ignoring his rant which Husker facepalm himself.

"What the hell do you want from me this time?!" He asked with clear annoyance.

"My friend, I'm doing a charity work so I took it upon myself to accept your volunteering service. I hope that's okay with you." He smiles.

"Are you shitting me?!"

"Hmm... No I don't think so."

While Alastor and Husk argue, Nate looked over to Charlie.

"So... this whole... rehabilitation thing, you sure it's gonna work?" He asked her.

"Thats the plan, I really... really want this to work. You see my mom always believed in a cause and I want to continue her work by believing that if a Sinner could be redeem... not only will our overpopulation be solved but..."

"The annual Extermination could ceased." Nate guessed.

"Exactly. So many people died for no reason all because of this 'reducing the population' so they say." Charlie said air quoting the last statement with sadness but she smiled, "Thats why I made this hotel, to give demons another chance and go to Heaven, so that we don't have to have this cleanings." Charlie stated but Nate kept a straight face to which Charlie sighed, "I know, I know it's ridiculous... it's stupid... no one can be redeemed."

"What... no... I don't think it's stupid."

"R-really?!" Both Charlie and Vaggie asked eyes widening.

"No... in fact I think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon." He stated to which a very large smile formed on Charlie's face, but it soon disappeared.

"Wait, your not just saying that to make me feel better."

"No I'm not, I'm saying... will it be hard... yes, in fact it might be impossible." He stated to which Charlie lowered her head, "But I'm always up for a challenge and I think you can do it." He smiled.

"Thanks Nate, I'm glad that you agree with me."

"Of course and hey, if you need a test subject I'll be first in line."

"Really?!" Charlie's smile widened as Vaggie's eyes widened.

"You can't be serious." She stated.

"Oh come on Vaggie why not?"

"No not him, that." She pointed over to Alaster and Husk who for some reason had summon a bar.

"What? You think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze?!" Husk asked as he inspected the cheat bottle of liquor, "Well you Can!" He said shoving the bottle into his bottle drinking.

"Hey, Hey! HEY! Hey, Hey! No! NO! No Bar, No Alcohol this is supposed to be a place to discouraged sins! Not some mouth, brothel mancave." Vaggie said with an angry look but Angel grabbed her.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!... we're keeping this!" He said as he headed over to the bar, giving a wink to Husk who immediately growled.

"I have to admit he's has a certain... what's the word, Alice in Wonderland feel." Nate stated as Charlie ran up to Husk with optimum affection.

"Oh My Gosh! Welcome to Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here!" She stretched out her hand but Husk just looks at her with an eyebrow raised.

"I lost the ability to love years ago." He stated putting the bottle back into his mouth like a pacifier.

"Ohhhkay good talk." She smiled sheeply.

"So whaddaya think?" Alaster asked.

"This is Amazing." Charlie squealed rubbing her cheeks together.

"It's... okay." Vaggie said crossing her arms trying not to look impressed, but Nate seemed to be deep in thought.

"It's a start I'll give ya that." Nate said as Alastor laughed with excitement.

"This is going to be... Entertaining." He smiled as he let's go of Vaggue summoning a fireball, launching it into the air to distract Charlie, only for him to shove Vaggie out of the way.

(Alastor Reprise)

You have a dream,
You wish to tell,
And it's just laughable
But, hey kid, what the hell?

'Cause you're one of a kind,
A charming demon belle!
Now, let's give these burning fools a place to dwell
Take it, boys!

(Ha-ha!)
Boo!

Inside of every demon is a lost cause
(Ha)
But we'll dress them up for now with just a smile
Wicked smiles~!

And we'll chlorinate this cesspool
With some old redemption flair
And show these simpletons some proper class and style
Class and Style!

(Oh!)

Here below the ground,
I'm sure your plan is sound
They'll spend a little time
Down at this Hazbin Ho-

BOOM!!!

A loud explosion suddenly interrupted him as the front doors flew off hitting Niffty in the process. Everyone else ran outside to see a familiar blimp hovering over them.

"HAH, well, well, well! Look who it is harboring the striped freak! We meet again, Alastor!" Sir Pentiotous laughed through the speakers he had.

"Oh for fuck sakes it's that snake dick again." Angel sighed in a disgust.

"Who?" Nate asked.

"The guy we fought in that turf war?"

"Oh... I thought that blimp looked familiar, didn't I shoot that down?" He asked but Sir Pentiotous picked up on what Nate said.

"So it was you who shot down my blimp, a minor setback and repairs but I'm still flying. No thanks to your distraction." He said rather unimpressed, "And now I get to destroy not only the web-sssslinging-whore, but the most powerful Overlord in ALL OF HELL!!!!"

"Ummm, do I know you?" Alastor asked, clearly annoyed at this overreacting snake to which Sir Pentiotous cobra-like hood deflated in confusion.

"Wha... Yes you have! Ugh..." He answered rather disappointed as his cobra-like hood flared up, "Look I have something for you all you call it a..." He stated pulling a lever down revealing a huge cannon, "SURPRISE!!! Ah I'm so Evil." He laughed as the cannon charges up.

That is... until Alastor snapped his fingers, opening up a very large portal from underneath. Black tentacles and shadow demons suddenly emerged from the portal and wrapped around the blimp, crushing it. Alastor tightens his fist up more, commanding the tentacles to pull on the blimp with ease.

Inside however, was complete chaos as Sir Pentiotous started freaking out.

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!!!" He screamed as his whole war machine gets tug more into the portal closing behind it. Alastor looked on with a mischievous large grin, while everyone behind him, Nate, Vaggie, Charlie, Angel Dust, and Husk looked on in shock before glancing over at him.

"Welp..." He said returning back to his normal self, "I'm starving! Who wants jambalaya?" He asked spinning his mic staff walking back to the hotel, Niffty smiled and zoomed back into the hotel, followed by Angel Dust blowing a kiss to Husk who looked furiously. Charlie jumped up and down excitedly in front of Vaggie who smiled but as soon as Charlie walked away from her, she changed her expression to more doubtfull.

"Hey you okay?" A voice asked her making her jump, she looked over to see Nate who held up his hands, "Woah, woah hey, hey its me." He stated to which Vaggie punched him in the arm.

"Don't ever fucking do that! pedazo de mierda." She yelled.

"Okay, okay sorry, I just noticed you don't seem happy." He stated to which she sighed.

"I... look it's just... it's just a lot to register."

"Register? What you mean?"

"It's just... Charlie trusting in Alastor so fast, it's just..."

"You're still worried about Alastor manipulating her?" Nate asked.

"I... I don't know." She answered.

"Hey, you shouldn't take Charlie for who she is." Nate said, to which Vaggie looked at him with confusion, "I mean, she maybe naive but she's not stupid." He stated, resulting in Vaggie putting a hand on her hip and burrowing her eyes at him angrily, "Before you start yelling at me in Spanish let me explain, is it a bad idea to immediately trust Alastor? Yes, absolutely... I mean I'm the same way myself, trusting people too fast." He remarks, "But Charlie's knows that this could be her last chance to make her dream a reality, and with Alastor help... her dream could be a reality." He said while Vaggie looked away, not knowing what to say.

"I mean... I guess your not wrong."

"Of course I'm not, look I agree with you. Trusting Alastor is absolutely not the step in the right direction but what do we have to lose now?"

"Come on you two!!!" Charlie voice could be heard.

"Come on, the princess awaits us." He bowed his head to Vaggie before running off to the hotel, leaving Vaggie alone, looking skeptical at Nate's explanation, "Come on Vaggie!" He yelled out to her causing her to snap out of her trance and hurry after Nate.

Once they reached inside, the smell of jambalaya hit there noses.

"Something smells delicious." Nate said as he followed the trace of the smell into the main lobby, where it's revealed that Alastor had summoned an average size table for everyone to sit. In front of the table, Alastor was preparing his jambalaya, as he was shown wearing a chefs hat, keeping his signature evil smile.

"Ahhh Nate, Vaggie my dear! Good to see you two made it in time." He said, "Come now! Don't be shy now, grab a bowl!" He gestured over to the stakes of bowls as both Vaggie and Nate grabbed one waiting for Alastor to serve their food, "It's my grandmother's recipe, its sure to fill you up in no time." He said as he carefully filled their bowls. Vaggie grumbled off as Nate watches her in silent sit nexts to Charlie.

"Mind for one more?" He asked.

"Oh sure." Charlie answered happily as Nate pulled up a chair next beside Charlie, and proceeded to eat.

"Charlie? You don't think he would put poison in this?" Vaggie said in concern, but before Charlie could even answer Alastor appeared in behind them.

"Vaggie my dear! why would you think I would poison this delectable meal?" He asked.

"Well for one, you could try and kill Charlie." She explains, "Which could weaken her father and could be easily dethroned."

"Hah! I'm mean, I could poison the food, kill everyone in this room, and overthrow her father and become King of all Hell!" He said as the whole room started to darken around him with the pure sadistic of evil but then returned back to his original state, "But that's not fun for me. It's not... entertaining. Without Charlie there would be no hotel, and with no hotel, I wouldn't have the greatest of entertainment, by watching people fail for something that doesn't exist, now that, my dear Vaggie is more suitable for my pleasure." He explains as he sat down enjoying his food.

"And by the way Vaggie?" Nate chimed in, "This isn't poison." He smiled but soon his face he started to pant, "But... it sure is... haahht." He stated when suddenly he coughed up smoke, "Wow... thats got some kick to it." He said as he looked over to Alastor, "Could I have a..."

"Drink? Say no more my good man, I got you covered." Alastor said and lifted his hand up from the table, making a bottle magically appear and he slid it over to Nate who happily took it and quickly chugging the content.

"So Nate, I've been meaning to asked, where you from?" Charlie asked as Nate pondered for a moment.

"Atlanta, Georgia." He answered putting by the bottle on the table.

"I think she means where you live now." Vaggie corrected Charlie's question.

"No wait, we can work with that." Charlie beamed with a curious expression, "So Atlanta huh? Sounds like it's on Earth, what's it like?!" She asked rather excitedly, to which Nate just looked at her, "S-sorry, I... I never got to see the mortal realm before."

"Like ever?"

"I've been in Hell all my life."

"Oh well... that's gotta change, you might like it."

"You think so?"

"Oh yeah."

"Well, if you want my opinion things are probably a lot different when I was alive." Angel Dust stated putting his upper hand under his chin looking unamused.

"When I was alive we mostly had radio." Alastor pointed out.

"Yeah, a lot has changed, I mean now and days almost everything is digital now, and now Streaming services are the biggest thing that's taking over television.

"Ah, smaller more noisier picture boxes." Alastor said with a distain tone but kept his smile.

"Anyway..." Charlie spoke up before standing up, "First off, I want to thank all of you for assisting in our quest for a better Hell." She thanked everyone which Vaggie smiled proudly at her girlfriend.

"I never signed up for anything." Husk blurted out before taking a swig from his drink.

"Speak for yourself toots, I'm only here cause rent is free." Angel remarked which Vaggie growled at him.

"Regardless... it's a start for the future of Hell, no more overpopulation, no more turf wars, and more importantly... no more Extermination Day." She announced and raised a glass, "So I purpose a toast, to the Happy Hotel." She proposed, to which everyone joined in and raised their drinks before they took a sip from their drinks.

"Oh, uh, speaking of helping..." Nate spoke up, "If you like, I can help give you some ideas for the Hotel." He said to Charlie who smiled softly.

"Oh absolutely, fire away." She said as she reached underneath the table to pull out a small journal and pen.

"Now this is coming from me, but this place is missing something..." He said gesturing toward the lobby, "We need something that says, 'Welcome to your home away from home' you know what I mean?" He explains.

"I like your thinking but uh, did you have an idea?" Charlie asked him, to which Nate took a moment to scratch his chin. After a few minutes he suddenly snapped his finger.

"A Cafe!"

"A Cafe!?" Everyone asked, mostly Charlie who started to form an exciting smile on her face.

"Yes! What do most hotels have? Not like a simple dainty motel where you find the cheap hookers... no offense Angel."

"Hey!" Angel said resenting what Nate said.

"But I'm talking like... those fancy, elegant restort like hotels."

"A restaurant, or cafeteria?" Vaggie answered.

"Don't you see? It's perfect, that's what this place needs!" He said while Charlie jotted it down in her little notebook.

"What a spectacular idea!" Alastor complimented Nate as the sound of crowd cheering could be heard.

"I actually like the sound of that." Vaggie added.

"May I throw in something my dear?" Alastor asked.

"Absolutely, go ahead." Charlie said encouraging him to clear his throat.

"Most of these 'said' resorts also have some kind of soothing music, I would say if we could add in a radio station, I could broadcast some proper music along with advertising this hotel."

"Free advertisment goes a long way baby." Angel Dust commented, "Hell, if we put some stripper poles installed, I would be gettin' the people packing in here."

"No." Charlie looked up from her notepad with a stern look, "N-no stripper poles or any sexual things, we are going to be clean and dedicated professional business."

"Sexual things are my profession." Angel said, before Nate yawned.

"Sounds to me like the day is getting late, I believe that we should all turn in to our respected dorms and call it a night."

"I believe you are right, Alastor." Charlie said pulling out her phone to see that the time was about nine, "I'll show you all to your rooms." She said and got up from her seat.

{LATER}
A door opened as Charlie and Nate entered.

"And this shall be your room." She says revealing the room to him. It was a nice size room with red carpet, along with a queen size bed, with red and white sheets, an end table with a lamp and clock on it, in front of the bed was a a chest for clothes in the corner of the room was a TV, a large 80" screen TV, another door was spotted as Nate entered it which revealed his bathroom which had all of the essentials, but the one thing that caught his eye was the balcony which was very large and revealed almost all of Hell could be seen from his balcony, "So... whaddya think?" She asked.

"Charlie I love it!" He stated jumping on the bed to which Charlie laughed, "But you didn't have to do this, I vould just go back to my dingy..."

"No." Charlie interrupted him rather caringly, "Your part of us now, your life is restarted to now being on the path of redemption."

"Well... thanks Charlie, I seriously love it."

"Well I'm glad you enjoy it, I'm going to see how everyone else is doing."

"Oh sure Charlie go ahead I'll be here." He smiled as Charlie left however Vaggie stayed behind, "Whats up Vaggie?"

"Hey... uh can I talk to you?"

"Hold up." He said holding up a finger and looking around, "Okay you can... didn't want someone seeing you out of character." He laughed.

"Oh fuck off." She rolled her eyes, "Um... listen I really wanna thank ya for that talk of yours."

"Well hey, You and Charlie really want to get this off the ground then I wanna help you and her as much as I can."

"T-thats... not what I'm thanking you for."

"Oh?"

"I was thanking you for being honest with us and willing to help us with our project." She said before looking away slightly embarrassed, "And... I'm sorry for throwing you." She added, giving Nate a small chuckle while rubbing her arm.

"Hey I needed it, and don't worry, I'm not gonna be what you call a perv around you or Charlie, you have my word."

"Thanks."

"No problem, hopefully I'll be just as much help as I can offer."

"Trust me Nate, you're doing much more help than you think, have a goodnight." Vaggie waved and headed back downstairs.

"Night Vaggie." He smiled but as she disappeared from his sight his expression changed to doubtfulness as he closed the door, "Alright... let me go change and get myself set up." He said to himself and headed into the bathroom.

Once he finished, he exited the bathroom revealing that he was in a gray hoodie with just his boxers underneath, along with revealing that he had hooves instead of normal human feet. In his hands were a couple of pills that he quickly washed down with a glass of water before he slid into the queen size bed and pulled out his phone to pull up an app that plays sounds. His choice of sound... the sounds of walking through a winter night.

"Alright... let's try this again." He said as he laid in the bed, trying to fall asleep.

{MEANWHILE}
While in their bedroom, Vaggie was shown pacing back and forth while Charlie was shown brushing her hair in the bathroom with the door open, to which she could see out into the room.

"Okay Vaggie, I know somethings up when you start pacing." Charlie stated as she got up and walked out of the bathroom revealing she was in a red bathrobe along with red fluffy slippers that hide her hooves, "Come on, tell me what's up."

"Well... it's just..." Vaggie looked around and sighed, "It's just... you seem so excited about the hotel getting closer and closer to opening, it's just... I don't know if we're gonna spend time together." She stated to which Charlie place her tea down.

"Oh Vaggie..." She said with concern and placed her hands on her shoulders, "I will never forget about us, I haven't yet and I never will besides, now with Alastor on our team, like my dad said, 'Things will go duck swimmingly'." She quoted her father and smiled. However this didn't seem to make Vaggie feel any better so she cupped her cheek, getting her to look at Charlie with a small blush on her cheeks, "Don't worry when we get this place up and running we will have all the time in the world." She giggled giving Vaggie a kiss on the forehead then yawning, "Welp I guess we better get some sleep, we got a lot to do tomorrow." She waved for her to follow to the bed, to which Vaggie smiled and followed her to the bed. However, unbeknownst to them Alastor's shadow was seen spying on them and quickly left the room underneath the room.

Flying across the walls, the shadow flew until it reached Alastor who was sitting in front the fireplace with his eyes closed until the shadow reached behind him, resulting in him opening his eyes.

"You are correct my dear." He said, taking a sip from his tea cup, "We have a lot to do." He added before putting out the fire engulfing himself in darkness, "Stay tune." He said and demonically chuckled.
