Getting to the hotel, Alastor opened up the door for you. Thanking him, with a subtle laugh, you walk through the doors and put down your basket and bottles on reception counter.

"Thank you for coming with me to the living world, Al,"

"It was my pleasure," taking off his coat you hand it back. "I hope you enjoy your goodies,"

"They're always good," handing him a strawberry muffin his smile softens. "Have a nice night, Al," you give a light kiss on his cheek before walking away with your goodies, a blush rising.

"You too..." Alastor mumbles, his cheeks crimson. He walks to the bar and sits on the stool staring intently at the strawberry muffin.

"Nice night?" The Radio demon looks up at the Cat demon who smirked. Alastor clears his throat and sits up straight.

"Y-yes, quite a lovely night, great to visit New Orleans," Husk hands him a glass of whiskey which he takes and sips at.

"Nice flower, purples a good colour," Husk points to the flower resting between Alastors antlers and tuffs of hair. The Red clad demon goes pink and takes the flower out his hair. The Cat demon walks out the bar and leaves his pal to his thoughts.

"It really is..." Al stared down at the flower with a soft smile before taking a bite out of the strawberry muffin.

"How was earth?" Getting out the elevator you see Angel just leaving his room.

"Wonderful!" You say dreamily.

"And how was the strawberry pimps company? Did he kill anyone?" Shaking your head with a smile you invite angel into your room.

"No, thankfully," walking to your altar you light the candles and take the small rose from your hair. "I know it's not your favourite but it's very special, mama," placing the flower in the dolls arm Angel quirks a brow.

"Where'd you get the rose? You've never show interest in anything that isn't purple, black or grey," you smile bashfully.

"Al, gave it to me," turning away from the spider he lets out an 'oooh', with a suggestive smirk you could feel burning into your back. Taking a raspberry tart from the basket you bite into it and smile at the sweet taste.

"What else did you and Al do?"

"Nothing! We just... danced... and walked around the city..." Angel hums and takes a a small cookie from the basket. "I did have to chase him at one point..."

"Playing hard to get I see, Mr Radio demon has a good tactic," slapping Angels arm he chuckles.

"He also broke into the botanical garden..."

"Oh, mama, she's in love with a criminal!" Angel sings to your Altar, the yellow candle burns brighter making you roll your eyes.

"Did you just quote Britney Spears?"

"Sure did and your mom supports me," the candles grow brighter in agreement.

"You both suck," Angel snickers and plops on your couch. Going to the bathroom you take a quick shower before changing into your satin night gown and doing your nightly routine. By the time you were done you noticed Angel had left for his room. "Goodnight, mama," the Candles dance slightly making you chuckle lightly. Snuffing the flames you curl into bed and watched the maroon night sky.

Quietly reading the morning paper you smile to see people's wishes granted. Angel looks over your shoulder and reads a few headlines.

"What's that about?" You look up to see him pointing at the main headline.

Successful pregnancy after 15 years!

Letting out an award winning smile you place down your tea and fold the paper. "That was my doing,"

"Your doing?" You turn to Alastor who had been listening in, giving him a certain look he clears his throat.

"On Fet Gede, Y/n grants wishes that people put on her grave in the form of three x's..." he quirks a brow at you for approval.

"Glad to know you were listening," you were proud that he remembered. "But I only grant those who need it, for example... Lily was infertile, but she wished for a child on my grave, she gave a lovely loaf of bread and so I give her a child,"

"No voodoo strings attached?" Vaggie looks suspiciously at you.

"Heavens no, I only do deals with loathsome sinners down here and occasionally the desperate living up there if they have the guts to summon me," getting back to your tea Charlie soon asks a question.

"What else did you grant?" Handing her over the newspaper on the right section everyone peered over to read the titles. "Y/n, these are wonderful!"

"Good things come to those who deserve it~" you sing.

"What was it like up there?" Charlie's eyes were the definition of curious. Knowing you weren't the best at describing the cities beauty you summon a bag of purple powder.

"I'll show you," nodding for them to follow you they all do. Now in the lobby far from food that the powder would effect. "Now be aware these are my memories, you tamper with anything and there will be consequences," your smile was contrasting with the malicious shadow behind you. Closing your eyes you say a small chant before blowing the powder in everyone's faces.
