Clubbing

((Y/N)'s POV)

So far my Mommy and Daddy didn't know anything about me sneaking out, so I guess what Palutena said really made security not want to tell my Daddy I got out. It was like this all day while I rewatched all of the fights from last night and in the second round, Donkey Kong went up against Meta Knight and lost. Donkey Kong is super strong, but Meta Knight could teleport into short distances with his magic. The rest of the day after lunch was spent with my private tutor until 5 and he went home. I was not allowed to be home alone, so I had to spend the night at my Daddy's club on the top floor again. When I watched all the fights to the last fight where Bayonetta won, I just played Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I was still thinking about the match I was almost in.

(Y/N)-Were they really going to make Toad fight Donkey Kong out of the gate like that?! Who's idea was that?!

I was playing my favorite playable character Lucas and the random computer was Fox and he gave me some health at times when he tried to shoot me. After a bit, my Daddy came into the room and he had a drink with him.

(Y/N)-Hi Daddy.

Daddy-Hey, wanna come outside with Daddy to meet some business friends?

(Y/N)-Like... On the first floor?

Daddy-You can't stay in the club areas. It has to be outside. You can come out and say hello and then come back up here if you want.

Daddy calls me his 'successor', whatever that means because right now, it just means nothing. I just got some shoes on and followed him to the elevator to the kitchen. He took me around the building and we met his business friends in the front of the building. There was a long line of people waiting to come in. 

Daddy-(Y/N), this is Mr. Hendricks, Mr. West, and Mr. Alwinger.

(Y/N)-Hello.

Daddy-Everyone, this is my son. My next in line to this fine establishment.

Mr. West-You brought your son here?

Daddy-I let him stay on the top floor where only the invited and most trusted can go. It's rare for anyone to go up there and there is never heavy drinking.

Mr. Hendricks-I see... We came to discuss matters regarding the club opening in other locations.

Daddy-Yes. If I read the email correctly, there was a minor issue. I can assure you that security has never failed and the alcohol limit is sure to keep incidences at a minimum. Assets and income are even at an all-time high thanks to many coming in favor of the tournament.

Mr. Alwinger-And that's the matter we wish to discuss. There seems to be overspending lately.

I thought I should just leave and go back to the elevator in the kitchen, but the line was blocking the way to the alley, and nobody was letting me through. Maybe I can get around if I go to the back of the line I can get back inside.

(Bayonetta's POV)

Jeane was insistent that we visit this club, but the line was long and apparently, the bouncer did care much for a Super Smash fighter, much less the champion. The line is even moving dreadfully slow. How long does it take to scan an idea or are there just that many teenagers trying to sneak in?

Jeane-A five-star club... I hope it lives up to its name.

Bayonetta-It better because I refuse to waste a night.

Jeane-Do you think we could ask for the club owner? Maybe they will be wooed by our beauty and let us in.

I could hear the sarcasm in her voice, but if I get looks and others getting too cozy and handsy around me, I will give them a proper ass-kicking. I'm already finding those looks here in line. While waiting in line a little while longer.
