Mission 10: Big News
"Good afternoon. I'm Tom Trench."
"And I'm Caroline Clamper."
"And in today's news, we have the spunky powerhouse Cherri Bomb taking down some rival kingpins as she starts to take more territory as with the death of not one, but two Overlords," Tom informed everyone.
"Like, OMG Tom, do you think these upcoming Overlords will be better or worse than the last ones," Caroline asked her co-host.
"Who knows? I don't give a shit as long as I'm still working," Tom answered her. "After our short break, we have more footage of what happened at LuLu World yesterday. And it's all thanks to our dear Princess of Hell."
"Like, see you all shortly," Caroline waved as everyone went on break.
As the cameras stopped rolling, Charlie was going over her notes for what to say. Vaggie was helping the princess by straightening her outfit for her, but Dante was on the side making sure the two were okay. "Now, you know what to say," Vaggie asked her girlfriend. "Did you double-check the video?"
"Come on, Vags. Have a little faith in her. She's got this," Dante assured her. "It's not like she's going to go up there and sing."
"I hope that doesn't happen again to be honest," Vaggie muttered, rubbing the temple of her head at the memory of the first time Charlie was on the news. "If it wasn't for that and Angel fucking up, then we would be taken more seriously."
"Have a little more faith in us, Vaggie. I mean we did prove my theory right, so how bad can it be," Charlie said as she walked closer to the edge of backstage.
"Remember how they acted the last time," Vaggie reminded her.
"Yeah, but that was before we had Dante. Now, things are way different," Charlie smiled, feeling more confident than before.
"You're welcome," Dante said as he walked a few feet behind them. "And if anyone gives you trouble, I can always just shoot them," he added, pulling out Ebony & Ivory.
"Dante, violence isn't always the answer," Charlie scolded.
"I'm joking, babe," he laughed, spinning them in his hands before putting them back in their holsters. "Most I'll do is knock them off their feet. That or make them dance for my amusement like that one jester freak."
Both Charlie and Vaggie raised an eyebrow at what he meant by that, but they figured it was something from a long time ago and didn't question it. "Well, just promise me one thing, Charlie. Don't. Sing. Please," Vaggie told the princess.
"Alright, I won't," Charlie promised, slumping as she wanted to sing a musical number.
"And smile," Dante told her as he grabbed her by the cheeks and pulled them up childishly. "Alastor would want you to."
"Alright, alright! Just let go! It hurts a little," Charlie said with the forced grin Dante gave her.
The Demon Hunter soon let go of her face and the princess rubbed at the sore spots. "You're up, princess!"
"That's my cue. Wish me luck," Charlie told them both as she walked over to the table that was right next to Caroline. Taking a deep breath, she looked over at her notes and thought about what to say.
"And we are live!"
"Welcome back, folks! We brought along our special guest, for the second time coming, Princess Charlotte Morningstar," Tom introduced.
"Uh... hi," Charlie smiled awkwardly as she slumped down into the chair. As she did, the audience snickered and laughed at her, but one look from Dante and Vaggie immediately silenced them.
