A week after Ash arrived in hell, she was walking side by side with Alastor on their way to Cannable Town.
"Alastor, what's this 'Rosie' lady like?" Ash asked, earning a chuckle from Alastor.
"My dear, Rosie is the sweetest overlord in hell." He smiled kindly at the fourteen year old girl beside him.
"Okay." Ash happily walked along beside the overlord, exited to meet his friend.

Not long after, Ash and Alastor arrived in a happy looking place for hell. They walked into a building and were immediately greeted by an enthusiastic demon around the same height as Alastor.
"Rosie, I'd like you to meet Ash. The reason I was gone for seven years." He grins.
"Oh Alastor! I didn't know you had a soft spot for children!" Rosie exclaimed with a shiny white grin.
"Yes well, what can I say? I intend on bringing her to the overlord meeting in a few days you know." Alastor shrugged; Ash looked up at him wide eyed.
"Really?!" Alastor nodded, smiling brightly. "Thank you! You're the best da- er Alastor!" Ash looked away embarrassed by her mess up. Alastor chuckled, his eyes and smiled softened. Rosie stood there squealing at the adorable teen.

"We had best get shopping if you want to get everything she needs Al. Poor thing doesn't even seem to have the basic necessities!" Rosie chided.
"Yes yes, you're right as always my dear." Leading Ash and Rosie out of the building, Alastor hummed a soft tune while they waked.

After many stops, trying on clothes, and Alastor and Rosie arguing over what she could and couldn't get, the trio finally started to walk back to Cannibal Town; but while Alastor and Rosie were having a hushed conversation in front of Ash, she stopped to tie her shoe. Looking up moments later to see, well, Alastor and Rosie were out of sight.

In a state of panic, Ash raced down the way she thought they'd have gone, but she didn't fine them.
"Hey doll, you look lost. Need a hand? Or a job?" Ash spun around, her white and ginger ears perked at the new voice. Behind her, was a tall man with four arms, a long pinkish red coat, and heart chapped sunglasses; the very demon Alastor had told her to stay away from the most, Valentino.

"I- uh, no thanks. I just lost track of someone." Ash said nervously.
"Aw, come on, I'll help you." The overlord said in his Italian accent. Ash shook her head profusely.
"No! I mean- um, no thank you sir. I-" she was cut off when her arm was grabbed harshly.
"Nonsense baby. I'll take you to my place, we can call whoever you're looking for there." Valentino tugged her arm pulling her closer to the pink limousine parked on the curb. Ash's ears were pinned to the back of her head, fear evendent in her eyes.

"Ash!?" Turning her head she saw Angeldust, and although he creeped her out because of the sex jokes, she wanted help.
"Angel!" She yelled, panic laced her tone. The spider demon ran over to Ash and Valentino.
"Val, let her go." Angle sneered while grabbing Ash's free hand, "for your sake."
"Now now Angle-cakes. Why would it be for my sake? You can't hurt me." The moth demon hissed.
"No, but I can." A staticky voice spoke. "I advice you to release her." Alastor stepped out of the shadows, and almost immediately Ash's arm was released.

scared for his hide, Valentino left muttering curses.
"Thank you Angel." Alastor told the arachnid before turning to Ash and engulfing her in a hug. "Are you alright dear? Rosie and I were quite worried."
"Yes Alastor, I'm alright. I didn't mean to wander off."  Alastor simply smiled and took her back to Cannibal Town for the rest of the day.
