Alright guys I'm just gonna get right to it, all I ask is to please comment below. Love ya!

"Alright Vaggie we can do this! All we need to do is pitch the idea and they will most definitely love it!". Vaggie rolled her eye and shook her head, "No Charlie, I'm not helping pitch the idea, they probably wont like it, and they will definitely not love it.". I ran my fingers through my blonde hair, "Ugh, Vaggie we have to at least try. I believe that any demon can be redeemed. I mean, come on, wouldn't you want to be redeemed?" My eyes grew big with hope. Vaggie cringed and looked away, "Umm...I guess..? Charlie I don't know. I guess let's just get this over with. Just no singing. Please. I beg of you." Vaggie gripped my shoulders and lowered her eyebrows. I smiled and hugged her, "Okay, okay, no singing. I promise.". A voice shouted in the background, calling my name to enter the show set. I grinned and squeezed Vaggie's hand, "Wish me luck!" with that, I pranced away happily, 'Oh jeez my dreams begin here! Yay yay yay!'

*1 hour, 34 punches, and 46 bitch calls later...*

Vaggie glared at me as I looked at my shoes. I lifted my head up and opened my mouth slightly to say something, but she cut me off, "You said NO singing! You PROMISED! Charlie don't you want demons to take us seriously?"I looked away again and nodded slowly. "Oh charlie..." she ran her fingers through her hair, but when she heard the sound of a window being pushed up and down, her anger spiked. Her X shaped eye (I don't know what to call it guys, please tell me) turned a vicious red, "And YOU.". The white and pink spider looked up and crossed his legs, "Yeah toots?". I looked between Vaggie and Angel, it almost seemed like a dominance battle and well...Angle was winning... "Why were you part of a TURF WAR?! That totally ruined our plan, our pride, and Charlie's position as princess! Now everyone sees her as a joke!". I sink deeper in my chair, thinking of how I am a joke... Vaggie is right...maybe mom was right... My thoughts are interrupted when I hear the smooth talking spider demon speak up once again. " Hey, just because you can't handle your little hotel or your little 'pride' like you said, is not my fault bitch. I just needed to help a friend. Like how ya help Charlie? That sorta thing." he waved his hand in the air almost in disgust. The car stopped and we all stepped out. Vaggie was already about to strangle Angel, and I was just so tired, so we decided to head in and spread out. Vaggie laid out on one of the couches, Angel raided our fridge, and I...well I just headed to the sitting room. I pulled out my phone and put my back against the wall. "Oh jeez...should I do this..?" I whispered as I dialed my mom's number. I waited as it rang, and with each beep I slid further and further down the wall until my butt hit the floor. I almost wanted to cry when it went to voicemail, but I remembered how strong my father always told me to be...he also told me to kick demon males in the balls if they came to close or tried to steal my drugs, but that's not the point. I decided to leave a voicemail anyway, "Heyyy mom...um obviously if I'm calling you things aren't going too good...um...I could really use your help..ya know, some motherly advice? I really miss you...and dad..please call me back. I know I've called you 12 times already, I'm sorry...love you! Bye..." I hung up and slowly put my phone away. As I closed my eyes I began to think about how I could fix things... Fix things with this hotel, with my parents, with Angel... if that's even possible. While I was doing some, 'wishful' thinking, the doorbell rang. I quickly ran out the room and pushed Angel out the way so I could open the door. Maybe a demon wished to be redeemed? Oh please! I know I shouldn't be praying, but God! Please! Give ya girl a hand! (God:Oh you again? Give it a rest honey). I didn't really know what to expect, but I definitely wasn't expecting this. Or should I say him. "Hello Dear." A gray faced demon with fluffy red hair that had black tips and also had what looked like ears? He wore a formal red coat that was tailored to his body, a black bowtie, dark red dress pants, black shoes, a spectacle, black gloves, AND held a long cane that looked like an old-school microphone. He grinned down at me, his red glowing eyes and yellow teeth making him seem menacing. "U-uh..Hello?". He leaned closed and grinned even more. "Uhm. So, I'm Charlie...and you are..?" The mystery man leaned back and laughed, his voice gravely and filled with static...like a radio... "Oh excuse me my dear! I completely forgot my manners! I am Alastor. I guess I assumed you knew who I was, but not everyone can know someone as darling as you. Apparently not even myself.". I blushed and looked away. I opened the door wider, motioning him to come in. He seemed please with my reaction and quickly stepped in. I shut the door and followed after him. I saw Vaggie look up and my brain couldn't even process how fast she moved towards me. "CHARLIE WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?" I rolled my eyes and gently pushed Vaggie to the side, "Hey, calm down. He hasn't done anything. His name is Alastor and he actually seems very ni-" "No! Don't even say that word! He is a monster!" Alastor laughed, "Hate to break it to ya Lil' Darlin', but we technically are all monsters. Demons in fact. Which in all cases, is much worse." His teeth and eyes shined with pride and satisfaction after hearing her growl of pure anger. I thought she would burst with anger, "Oh shut up you..you..YOU DEER DEMON ASSHOLE!". At that moment Angel had entered the room and was just watching everything unfold. I looked at Angel and gave him a pleading look, he sighed and shrugged but nodded all the same. I smiled and stepped away from both of them while they were having a verbal battle which well...I believe was about to turn physical... Angel sauntered over to Alastor and pushed Vaggie aside, "Hey daddy~" Angel winked. Alastor was obviously taken aback, because he stopped talking and his nostrils flared. Vaggie crossed her arms tightly around her body and began to pout, "Charlie, he really is a monster. He's called the radio demon. He died in 1933 and was a serial killer. He apparently broadcasted his show all over hell to take over and kill everyone. That obviously didn't happen because you and I are here, but he did kill so many demons and so many people. He can't be trusted." She took my hand and squeezed it hard. I gave her a reassuring smile, "I promise I'll be careful Vaggie. Trust me." I gave her a small smile. She sighed and shook her head, then we both looked back at Angel and Alastor. Angel had his leg on Alastor's shoulder and was caressing him. Alastor on the other hand, was not so pleased. He kept pushing his leg off with his cane, but Angel kept putting it back on. It got to the point that Alastor had to pick up Angel and throw him off. "Now that is enough. I would be very grateful if you would keep your furry feminine paws off me! And no I do not need your services." I laughed as I heard that. 'Of course Angel offered.'. I walked over to Alastor and smiled, "So, Mr.Alastor, what brings you here?" I smiled even brighter, expecting him to say he wanted redemption or that he fired that stupid mean TV lady...that bitch... "Pure and utter boredom, my dear!" his grin widened. My smile fell as well as my hope. "What?" He put an arm around my waist and began to walk with me through the hotel, "Well ya see darlin', I have nothing to do anymore! I have done all my bad deeds, and now I have nothing. I could ruin this whole city, but I won't. I think what I'm about to do is going to be much more fun.". Vaggie groaned and rolled her eye, "Just spill it! Why are you here? What do you want?". I glared at Vaggie but then turned back to Alstor, "Please continue. I would like to know why you are here though. If not for redemption.". Alastor moved a puff of hair out of his view, "Well, I want to help with this ridiculous thing you're doing here. You obviously don't have a staff and, no offense little darlin' but this place isn't the prettiest I've seen in all my years.". I blushed out of embarrassment, "True...Uhm, well...I will...uhm..Hold on."I turned to Vaggie, "You said he controls people?" "Uh yeah?! Do not make a deal with him!". I grinned and nodded. I faced Alastor again and jumped up happily, "We will gladly take your help!!" Vaggie groaned and outstretched her arms in frustration. Alastor grinned and put out his hand to shake, "So it's a deal?" A huge green flame explode throughout the room, illuminating his gloved hand. I stepped back and shook my head,"Nope. No,sorry, no deals, no shaking hands, none of that. How about, since I'm princess, um...I order you to help me with this hotel..for as long as you wish....please. sound fair?" Alastor thought for a second then smiled even wider, "Sounds fair." "Cool beans." I smiled. He hummed and began to walk around. Vaggie was obviously fuming based on the way she was glaring at Alastor, but she grew even more furious after he put a gloved finger under her chin and grinned, "Smile my dear!You're never fully dressed without one!". I don't know why but I decided to follow him around while he explored the hotel. He noticed me and chuckled, "So darling, I'm guessing mommy and daddy didn't really agree with this idea?" I frowned at the mention of my mom. His eyes turned sympathetic as he looked at me. "I take that's a no. Well, that's alright my love, I will help.". I smiled and he seemed to have blushed, but I wasn't sure since he looked away. He looked at the dirty old fireplace we have and cringed, "Now, this certainly won't do.". Alastor snapped his fingers and a bright fire came to life. The whole fireplace transformed into something so elegant and rustic. As well did the room. Alastor reached into the fire and grabbed a black blob. I raised an eyebrow and looked up at Alastor. "Uh...what is that?". Suddenly, the little black ball turned into a cute little girl demon with one eye, red and yellow hair, and a red and yellow dress. Alastor grinned as the little demon opened her big eye, "This little darlin' is Niffty!" Alastor dropped Niffty down and she quickly stood back up, "Hi! I'm Niffty!" I smiled, "Well hiya Niffty!" 'Oh god she's adorable!'. She began to look around frantically, "Where are the men? Oh that was rude, I'm so sorry, it's just that I've never been around so many women before! Wow is this place dirty! Oops! Sorry again! I thought you would keep it clean!" Niffty began to turn rabid as she jumps from corner to corner, cleaning the hotel. I watch in amazement and look back at Alastor. He appeared to be staring at me the whole time, which of course, made me blush rather harshly if I may add. I giggled happily and jumped up and down, "I really appreciate all of this, Alastor.". He grinned and lowered his eyelids, "Anything for you my dear~." Alastor and I walked back where Angel and Vaggie were, Niffty totally gone, obsessed with cleaning. As we were walking, I noticed how close Alastor was walking to me...We could almost hold hands... 'Charlie what are you thinking?! This is the RADIO DEMON! Stop!' I mentally scold myself and quickly walk ahead of Alastor. When we reached Vaggie and Angel I smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Now we have a plan! Looks like the Happy Hotel is back in business!" Vaggie tried to hide her smile, but I saw it. Angel, of course acted like he didn't care, but he did congratulate me, so that was nice. Alastor patted my back and gave me a side hug, "Well, my dear, I believe I should turn in for the night. It has been a long day. I shall see you, my darling princess tomorrow." I smiled and nodded. As Alastor began to walk away, I began to bite my lip with worry. 'Should I do this...?ugh...screw it!' I ran up to Alastor and pecked his soft gray cheek. He stopped walking and stared down at me. The static in him seemed to get louder as his blush grew brighter, until he finally composed himself. I blushed and looked away, "Thank you Alastor. So much.". Alastor smiled even more and walked away to the stairs, and eventually to his room.

Alastor's POV:

I arrived at my room quickly, due to the fact that I wanted some time to myself after that...personal encounter... I touched my cheek and the static started up again. Damn. This can't happen. She doesn't know what she's getting into. But if she really wants to play this 'game', then so be it.
"Get ready Charlie, because you're Happy Hotel is now turning into my Hazbin Hell."

Welp, I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! I'm sorry it took so long, i just wanted it to be a decent length. If there are any mistakes I'm so sorry.
