It was the day after the party, so it was still October, and that meant that max and the others were still in their costumes. Currently, they were all just hanging around and enjoying themselves in the calm October weather.
"Well, I'd say yesterday was fun, wouldn't you say?" Said max, who was sweeping some popcorn into a pile.
"It sure was," said Charlie, " the movies we watched were pretty scary."
"Well your not wrong, but what would you say was The scariest one?" Asked max.
"I'd go with scream, mainly because of the fact that it was a whodunnit." Said Charlie.
"Fair point," said max, " because sometimes, the most horrific is the most unexpected."
After max finished cleaning the popcorn on the floor, the lights suddenly went off, and with a spooky music sting, the lights went back on and a book appeared on the table, to everyone's surprise.
"What the shit? Where did that book come from?" Asked max.
"I don't know, but I don't like it." Said vaggie, holding her spear in caution.
Max looks at the book, his face immediately turning into one of horror, as he realizes that it was the necronomicon ex mortis, looking exactly like the one from the evil dead movies.
"Oh shit!" Exclaimed max, "this is not good."
"I see what you mean," Said Charlie, "I need to call dad."
At Lucifer's house, he was sitting in a chair doing some light reading when he got a phone call from Charlie talking about the necronomicon, to which he immediately closed his book and opened a portal to the hotel with worry in his eyes.
"I'm coming Charlie, don't read that damn book!" Exclaimed Lucifer.
And so, lucifer jumped into the portal and saw the necronomicon on the table looking menacing.
"I hate this fucking book." Grumbled Lucifer, facepalming while he spoke.
"You have some history with it, I assume?" Asked max curiously.
"Of course, it's been the bane of my existence since i first found it. I had to lock it deep in a crate to be forgotten by mankind and lost to time." Explained Lucifer, who sounded like dr Orpheus.
Max raised his eyebrows in surprise about the exposition and asked "should it be destroyed?"
"Yes, if it's read, it will end up summoning deadites." Explained Lucifer.
"If it's that bad, I've got an idea!" Said max, who then ran off and came back with a roll of duct tape.
Max was able to keep the necronomicon closed by wrapping the entire thing in duct tape, while also writing " caution! Destroy immediately!" On it with a sharpie.
"Well that's step one, what about step two?" Said max, cautiously holding the now duct taped necronomicon with two fingers.
"Step two would be throwing that damn book into something like a volcano to burn it to the point it can't come back." Said Lucifer.
"I'm pretty sure the closest volcano is Kilauea, but if that doesn't work we could throw it into an oven or a bonfire." Said max
"Whatever," said Lucifer, "let's just get rid of this book instead of obsess over it."
And so, Charlie, vaggie, Lucifer, and max went into the car to go to Kilauea and dump the necronomicon into it.
When they made it to the Kilauea visitor center, Lucifer was looking through a tower viewer at the spewing lava coming from Kilauea, planning a way to throw the necronomicon into the lava.
"I got it!" Said Lucifer, snapping his fingers.
"What, what is it?" Asked max quizzically.
" I found a way to throw the necronomicon into Kilauea." Said Lucifer.
"How do we do that, dad?" Asked Charlie.
"Allow me to show you all if you'd pass the necronomicon, please." Said Lucifer while holding his hand out.
Max gives Lucifer the necronomicon, who says " now, to fully destroy it, max must say the magic words that will prevent it from coming back as it burns in the lava."
"What are the magic words, Lucifer?" Asked max, raising his eyebrow in confusion.
"It's  klaatu barada nikto." Said Lucifer.
"Got it," said max, "now get ready to throw it in."
As Lucifer prepared to throw the necronomicon as far as he could to reach the lava, max raised his arms and yelled out "klaatu! Barada! Nikto!" At the top of his voice, to which Lucifer threw the book with as much might as he could, and the book flew for a while before landing into the lava and bursting into flames immediately after touching the Kilauea lava.
"I feel a lot better knowing that fucking book won't harm anyone again, should we get something to celebrate?" Said Lucifer, calmly smiling.
" I could use a cocoa, can we get some cocoa?" Asked max, quoting the venture brothers.
"Yeah, we could all use some cocoa." Said Charlie
And so, they all went back to max's house and watched a movie with some cocoa to celebrate the necronomicon's destruction.
"So, what movie should we watch?" Asked Charlie.
"You know, I thought about it and decided we could watch the nightmare before Christmas." Said max
"Are you sure?" Asked vaggie.
"Yes, I feel like we need something light to offset the impact of dealing with the necronomicon." Said max.
" I guess your right, it also sounds like fun." Said Charlie.
"I'll get some popcorn." Said max, who then went to start some microwave popcorn.
While max was making popcorn for the movie, Charlie had an important question to ask her dad about his history with the necronomicon.
"So dad," said Charlie, " why do you hate the book you threw into Kilauea?"
Lucifer sighed, knowing that he had to tell a bit of backstory to his daughter.
"Alright," said Lucifer, " it was before you were born, but when I was younger, I found and explored an unknown cave in wrath and inside the cave was the necronomicon. And because I was an idiot, I brought it home and I ended up reading an incantation to summon something worse than a regular hellborn. A staff member ended up possessed, and I had no choice but to kill him before he could hurt Lilith."
After Lucifer explained it, Charlie was able to put two and two together as the reason why her dad locked the book away in the first place.
"But nonetheless, it's in the past, and I was still able to save the love of my life." Said Lucifer, having a teary smile on his face.
And with the emotional moment, Charlie hugged her dad because she felt he needed it, and he reciprocated by hugging her back.
"I've got the popcorn!" Announced max, who then looked at the event unfolding and asked "what did I miss?".
"Not much, just a father-daughter moment." Said Lucifer.
"Alright then, I'll just start the movie now." Max said, his eyes moving side to side awkwardly.
And so, max started the movie and they all had a good time, especially whenever there was a song moment. After that, they then watched jontron's review of the howling 2 and had a few laughs at the jokes until it was time for max to go back to his house and go to bed as he wondered what else could happen in the future.
