Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, What If?

Something There That Wasn't There Before

After Victoria had joined the Hazbin Hotel crew, Charlie wanted to help her find something to do for the hotel. However, Victoria was unsure about what she could do without her clumsiness getting in the way. She tried cooking duties but her clumsiness got in the way and she ended up burning the food. She tried to help Niffty clean but ended up shrinking the bed sheets and waxing the stairs too much which caused everyone in the hotel to slip and fall from the steps. Victoria was so embarrassed and ashamed of her mess-ups, that she locked herself in her room, refusing to make any more mistakes.

Meanwhile, everyone in the hotel was getting ready for the holidays. Charlie, Vaggie, Niffty, and Kara were decorating the hotel lobby with garnets and tinsel. Angel was in the kitchen cooking up a storm with Andy since he invited his family over to the hotel. Alastor despite his not-so-jolly mood had holiday music playing on the radios all over the hotel. Husk, on the other hand, was extra grumpy today. He hated the fact it was Christmas but no one knew the reason why. Everyone else was in a good mood with the holidays so they kind of ignored Husk and his sour mood.

Victoria could hear all the holiday music playing; she wasn't in a merry mood herself. Christmas to her was just another day of being invisible while her twin sister got everything her heart desired. Her parents never gave her any presents like her sister got; she only got hand-me-downs from family members or clothes that her sister was throwing away. Victoria didn't want to be bored, but she remembered that Charlie told her about a dance room on the 4th floor. So she grabbed her sketchbook and stepped out of her room, she walked towards the elevator and headed to the 4th floor.

When she exited the elevator, she walked towards the dance room to get a little quiet from the holiday festivities. The dance floor was a mess just like the rest of the hotel; Charlie had been so focused on getting new patrons that she didn't get the chance to fix up most of the hotel. Victoria studied engineering when she was alive and she always wanted to be an architect, designing buildings and bridges. Her artwork in her sketchbook had lots of designs for buildings but she also did sketches of people that she happens to meet. She had a few of the Hazbin Hotel crew including Kara, but she didn't draw Husk.

She walked towards the balcony, looking up at the crimson sky while watching the snow fall onto the city. Victoria then opened her sketchbook and started to draw the city view to keep her mind off Christmas. She noticed that two cars pulled up in front of the hotel; she figured that it must be Angel's family. Victoria thought that Angel was lucky to have family here in Hell where she only had her evil twin sister.

Victoria:

Follow me home if you dare to
I wouldn't know where to lead you
Should I take chances when no one took chances on me?
So I watch from the dark, wait for my life to start
With no beauty in my memory

Victoria remembered how her family treated her growing up. She was always invisible and was unwanted by her parents. Her twin sister, Martha (Aphrodite) was the one that got all the attention, praise, and love.

All that I wanted was to be wanted
Too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted

Victoria remembered when she and Martha were six years old and Martha competed in pageants. Martha won the pageant and Victoria continued to be invisible. Martha became more and more popular over the years while Victoria was quiet, studied hard, and was insecure.

Born into nothing
At least you have something, something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into
