Alastor, The Loud Caretaker

The Date

A new day arrived at the Loud House, and Alastor woke up, full of energy. In his room/radio station, he put on his favourite song on the gramophone, "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile".

"Well, time to see how the Louds are doing. It should be afternoon for them," he said.

Alastor teleported himself outside his room. Business as usual, chaos reigned in the house, but Alastor enjoyed it in silence.

However, one thing he noticed was Lori returning to her room, humming happily.

Amused, Alastor teleported himself into the girl's room. Luckily, Leni wasn't there, so he could have a private talk with the oldest sibling.

"You look lively today, my dear." He commented. "Did something fun happen at school?"

Lori flinched. "Alastor! Don't come into my room all of a sudden!"

Alastor chuckled. "Sorry, sorry. But come on, then!" He laid down on Lori's bed and looked at the girl as his grin became wider. "Spill the tea, darling! I'm all ears!"

Lori raised an eyebrow. "Never thought I'd heard you using modern phrases like "spill the tea"."

"My friend Rosie teaches me some of the youngster's slang once in a while." The Radio Demon explained. "But tell me, what made you so happy?"

Lori laughed. "A boy asked me out! I'm gonna go on a date!"

"SPLENDID!" He hugged Lori, laughing happily. "That's delightful news, my dear! Who's the lucky fellow?"

"His name is Roberto, but friends call him Bobby," said Lori. "He's kind, sweet, handsome..."

Lori proceeded to talk about Bobby's qualities for 20 bloody minutes to Alastor, who barely listened most of the time.

"Sounds like you're already head-over-heels for this Hispanic fellow, my dear." The demon chuckled.

"I guess I am." Lori softly chuckled. "Oh, I'm literally so excited! I can't wait for tomorrow!"

"I'm sure of that." said Alastor, "I'll leave you be, have fun with your date!" He disappeared into his shadow.

He reappeared back in his room, and his smile became even more wide.

"And I'm gonna make sure you will have fun, my dear..."

Hours later, Lori left the house and took the family's car, Vanzilla.

Alastor followed her outside, and changed into his human disguise, making him look like how he was before he died: Short brown hair, brown eyes, and darker skin.

"Hey, Al!" A raspy female voice called him, it was Lynn Jr, who had played football in the backyard before. "Wanna play with me?"

"I'm sorry, dear, but I'm a bit busy at the moment," said Alastor, then, he got an idea. "No, actually..."

The demon whispered about the date to Lynn Jr

"Lori's got a date?!" She said in shock.

"Correct! And I'm gonna follow them to make sure everything goes smoothly! Care to join?" said Alastor.

"Sure!" said Lynn Jr, "If he's a bad guy, I'm gonna kick his butt so hard..."

"And I assure you I will help you with that if that's the case. Now, come along!" Alastor offered the girl his hand, which she took and the two vanished in his shadow.

They emerged from it in a park. As the two saw Lori, Alastor and LJ hid behind a tree.

Lori went to hug Bobby, a young Hispanic man with short dark hair, a short goatee and a relaxed expression.
