On the I-15 freeway, most midnight travelers stop near the El Cajon mountain pass, and take some pictures of the mountains around them. Others would take part of a few off-road races on the various dirt trails around. A pair of out of state travelers in their 2013 Jeep Wrangler pulled over to the far side of the freeway on a small clearance.

A man in his late 30's, and his wife, witnessed the beauty of the El Cajon mountain tops, and watched a diesel freight train pass by below

A man in his late 30's, and his wife, witnessed the beauty of the El Cajon mountain tops, and watched a diesel freight train pass by below.

???: Wow. Even under the full moon, it's all still lovely, isn't it, Fred?

Fred: Sure is, Emily. Let's get some pics for the family album.

As Fred took out his Canon camera, Emily took some pictures of her own with her cellphone. Adjusting the settings for a clear look, Fred pointed his camera to a nearby forest, when he saw a bright orange light from behind the trees.

Fred: What's that? A fire?

Emily: Huh? Fire?!

She looked at where her husband was observing, and she also saw the orange light, when it suddenly faded away. This puzzled them, as they saw a Jet Black 1970 Dodge Charger racing out of the forest in the distance, and onto the road that leads to the Southbound I-15 on-ramp.

Emily: Is that... just a Charger?

Fred: Yeah. There's not even a single smoke in the air!

Both of them looked at each other in bewilderment. What in the world is going on?

As soon as the Charger entered carefully onto the interstate, CJ, Octavia, and Charlie were soon breathing for air, as Charlie looked out the rear window.

Charlie: Did we lose them?

CJ checked his driver side mirror, while Octavia slowly her poked her head a bit out the open passenger side window. They couldn't see Mistress, or her Triple 6 Legion followers anymore.

Octavia: I think so.

They all sighed with relief, as CJ drove around the freeway speed limit. He then looked at his two passengers. Seeing these two demonesses in danger, even if they aren't supposed to walk among the Human World without human disguises, was something he couldn't abide to watch and let happen. To him, they act just like any normal human girls. After they were able to relax a bit, CJ introduced himself.

CJ: Sooooo... We should probably introduce ourselves. I'm Charlie Johnson. It's a pleasure to meet you two.

Hearing his first name surprised Charlie.

Charlie: Your name's Charlie, too? Huh. I thought it's only a girl's name.

CJ: Heh, heh. Well, it can work for both boys and girls. But, just to not confuse things, my friends call me C.J.

Both Octavia and Charlie smiled at that nickname.

Octavia: Nice nickname.

Charlie: Well, I'm Charlotte Morningstar, but I like to be called Charlie. And this is my childhood friend, Octavia Goetia.
