Mammon, the extravagant prince and rockstar of the Greed Ring, entered the hospital room with all the flair and charisma that had made him an idol for many. Blitzo, Fizzarolli, and Barbie watched in awe as the larger-than-life figure graced their presence. Fizzarolli, in particular, was taken aback by the unexpected visitor, his eyes filled with a mix of surprise and curiosity.

Fizzarolli couldn't help but blurt out, "Mammon? Holy shit! What are you doing here!?"

Mammon grinned, revealing his dazzling teeth and oozing charm. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Fizzarolli, the star of the show," he said, his voice as melodious as a serenade. "I was so impressed with the show I saw a few days ago with our dear Asmodeous that I just had to meet you."

Blitzo and Fizz exchanged surprised glances, trying to process the fact that their idol had been at their circus. Mammon continued, "You know, I've got a little business proposition for your boss, Cash Buckzo, and I thought seeing your performance firsthand would be a nice touch."

Then Mammon's expression turned more somber, and his eyes reflected genuine concern. "However, I heard about the fire, and it truly tore me up. The news of your injuries, Fizzarolli, it's just tragic."

Mammon took a few steps closer to Fizzarolli's hospital bed, his tone sincere. "I've been following your career, and I've seen the potential you have, not just as a performer but as the face of something bigger, something greater."

Fizzarolli was still stunned by the turn of events but listened intently. Mammon continued, "So, I had a little chat with our friend, Asmodeous, and, well, we've come up with a deal. I want you and Blitzo to be the new brand figures for my products, the face of my empire, so to speak."

Fizzarolli raised an eyebrow, curiosity overcoming his initial surprise. "What's the deal, Mammon?"

Mammon's eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and ambition as he explained, "In exchange for your partnership, I'll cover the costs of your surgery, Fizzarolli. I want to see you back on your feet and performing again. And don't worry, Asmodeous has agreed to handle the expenses for state-of-the-art robotic arms and limbs to ensure you have the best in the business."

The room was filled with a mixture of hope, intrigue, and tension as Mammon's proposal hung in the air. It was a tempting offer, one that could potentially change the course of their lives.

Blitzo, who had been silent, finally spoke up. "Mammon, we appreciate the offer, but we need some time to think about it. This is a big decision."

Mammon nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Of course, take your time. But remember, Fizzarolli, you've got so much potential, and this could be your ticket to greatness."

As Mammon turned to leave, he cast one more reassuring smile at Fizzarolli. "I'll be in touch. And once you've made your decision, we can make something beautiful together."

With that, Mammon left the room, leaving behind a sense of anticipation and the weight of an important decision for Fizzarolli and his friends to make.

After Mammon's visit and his proposal, Blitzo, Barbie, and Fizzarolli found themselves in a thoughtful silence, each contemplating the weight of the decision they faced.

Barbie was the first to break the silence, her voice filled with concern and optimism. "I think we should do it," she said, looking at Fizzarolli with determination in her eyes. "Fizz, you've always wanted to make it big, and this could be your chance. Besides, you deserve the best recovery and a chance to walk again."

Blitzo, ever the supportive friend, chimed in, "Barbie's right. We want you to be happy, Fizz, no matter what you choose. And honestly, it would be really nice to work with Mammon. The opportunity is incredible."

Fizzarolli sat in contemplation, absorbing the thoughts of his dear friends. After a moment, he looked at them with determination in his eyes.

"Fuck this! I want to walk again!" Fizzarolli exclaimed, a spark of hope in his voice. He glanced toward the door, where Cash Buckzo had lingered after Mammon's departure. "Buckzo, tell Mammon I accept his offer!"

With that, Fizzarolli's eyes filled with determination and hope. He turned to Blitzo and Barbie, his voice filled with gratitude and determination. "I want to do this. I want to be a part of something greater. And I want to be on my feet once more."

Blitzo's face lit up with a smile as he embraced his lover, his voice filled with excitement. "Hell yeah! That's the spirit, Fizz! We're in this together!"

Barbie joined the hug, and the three friends embraced each other with newfound determination, ready to face the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. Their decision had been made, and they were prepared to take the next step.

Mammon's reputation for business moved swiftly, and as he got wind of Fizzarolli's decision, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He knew that Fizzarolli had made a wise choice, and he had high hopes for the collaboration ahead.

Mammon turned to Buckzo, who was scowling at the ground, and held out a contract with his name prominently displayed. "You understand what this means going forward, Cash?"

Buckzo nodded, his expression a mix of reluctance and understanding. He knew that this partnership would bring them all new opportunities, even if it came with its own set of challenges.

In the weeks that followed, Fizzarolli underwent the hefty surgery that would bring him closer to walking again. Blitzo and Barbie stood side by side, watching through a window as the medical team worked diligently.

They held each other close, their gazes never leaving their friend on the operating table. They hoped with all their hearts that Fizzarolli would come through this surgery successfully and begin his journey to recovery.

The waiting was excruciating, but they knew that, together, they could face whatever challenges lay ahead, just as they always had. The future was uncertain, but they had one another, and that gave them the strength to endure.

As Blitzo watched Fizzarolli on the operating table, his thoughts and emotions swirled within him. He couldn't help but think about the incredible journey they had shared, the laughter, the adventures, and the unwavering support they had given each other.

His heart ached with the desire to see Fizzarolli walk again, to witness that determination and spirit that had first drawn him to the one he loved. Blitzo knew that the road to recovery would be long and challenging, but he also knew that Fizzarolli was capable of anything he set his mind to.

Blitzo's thoughts continued to pour out, a silent monologue that was meant for his lover, even though Fizzarolli couldn't hear him at this moment. He hoped and prayed for the surgery's success, for Fizzarolli's strength to shine through, and for the day when they could embark on new adventures together.

Tears welled up in his one good eye, a mix of fear, love, and hope. Blitzo whispered softly to the figure on the operating table, "Fizz... you've always been my rock, my muse, my heart. I don't know if you can hear me right now, but I want you to know that I believe in you. You're going to walk again, I just know it. We'll face whatever comes our way together, just like we always have. I love you, Fizzarolli, more than words can express."

With those words, Blitzo clung to the hope that his beloved would come through the surgery, stronger and more determined than ever.
