~Lucifer POV~

Everyone is in Charlie's office talking, "No Angel for the last time; we cannot drug him!" I said, a little frustrated, "Come on, take a sleeping pill in his tea, and BOOM right out like that, mission accomplished!" Vaggie sighs, "We are trying to get Alastor to sleep, not make him go on a murder spree! You don't think he would rip apart our souls once he woke up and found out what we did!" Angle goes to open his mouth and make some apart-ass comment, "Yeah, your right, we wouldn't make it to the next day." Everyone goes back to thinking, "When Charlie couldn't sleep growing up, I would take her out to a park or something to get all her energy out, and then when we got home, I would put on music, and she was right now!"

Charlie smiles and says, "That's true! I remember I would play on the playground, and I was so tired after, but we can't take him to a playground; he's not a child, but maybe just a time out on the town will work. Dad, take him out and make sure he has a great time. Bring him back and try to get him to sleep!" I blink and clean out my ear. "I'm sorry, Char Char. Did you say I took him out? We don't necessarily like each other, but I don't think he would even want to." Charlie gives me big, sad, begging eyes. "It'll be your chance to get to know each other! Pleeeeeeeease, please, please, please, please, please." I can't help but laugh. "Okay, okay, fine." Charlie jumps with joy. "You are evil, using those eyes on me like that." Charlie smirks. "Thank you." I take a deep breath and straighten my hat. "Wish me luck," I say as I make my way up to the demons room.

I walk up to the door, ready to do anything I can to convince him to go. I am going to do this for Charlie! My baby girl needs me to do this! I raise my hand and knock two times. I hear a muffled voice say, "One moment." A few seconds later, Alastor opens the door with his big smile, as always. "Hello, Alastor." I'm cut off by the door being shut in my face. I growl, "Alastor, if you don't open the door, I will keep knocking in 3, 2." He opens the door, his eyes narrow, and his smile tightens. "I am busy." I look up at him and say, "We are going out, you and me; we are going to walk around town and hang out." He raised his eyebrow and asked, "What?" I take a deep breath. "You herd me! Come on!" I grab his arm and try to pull him, but he doesn't even move. I feel him flinch, and then my ears ring with the sound of radio static. I let go and covered my ears. "Do. Not. Touch. Me." His eyes are radio dials, and there are symbols around him. "Okay, okay, okay, fuck! I'm sorry!" The sound stops, and he goes back to normal.

I sigh, "Alastor, please, I'm doing this for Charlie; she really wants us to get along. I want to make her proud." I grab my hat and grip it tightly, looking down at my feet. "Please.." Alastor smirks, pondering the thought that if he goes with him, Charlie will be happy and he could get some brownie points. "Fine." I look up at him, smiling, "Really!? Come on!" I leave for the elevator, and Alastor closes and locks his door, following behind me. "We are going to have a good time, and we are going to become friends just like Charlie wants and and and!" Alastor stays silent, his smile tight.

~Alastor POV~

I have been standing next to this man for 60 seconds, and I already regret agreeing to this hangout. The doors open as we make our way to the front doors, and I see Charlie in the background, looking like she is about to explode with excitement. This was planned by her. I wonder if there is a real reason for the sudden request to hang out. I keep my eye out for suspicious activity from Lucifer. We headed to the park, and I heard they just put in a new walk path after the last one lasted 1 month before someone blew it up fighting. I look around at the hills of grass. We walk in silence for a solid two minutes, for it was ruined by Lucifer talking, "So.. one time when I went to that café "scolding skin," I saw two people argue about who's order was who's, and they started punching each other, getting so mad, and then the actual owner came up, knocked them both out, and took his drink." He laughs a little. I glanced at him and gave him a very sarcastic "ha."

Lucifer sighs, "We can't just be silent the whole time. What do you want to talk about?" I look at him in the back ahead of me. "I was fine with silence." Lucifer looks forward and smirks. "I was listening to Eddie Lang the other day." My ears perk up a little, and I look at him. "You listen to jazz?" Lucifer smiles proudly. "Eddie Lang, Bessie Smith, and Jolly Roll Morton are my favorites." My smile grows bigger, something I would actually like to talk about: "King Oliver is my personal favorite, but I do enjoy the ones you listen to as well." Lucifer thinks, "I actually don't think I have heard of King Oliver." He's thinking really hard, trying to remember, "You haven't heard the king?! Now I'm offended; that won't do!" I turn right, go to the closest jazz bar, and go inside. Lucifer follows, stumbling a bit since I took such a swift turn that he was caught off guard. "Whoa, whoa, where are we?"

~Lucifer POV~

The place is very clean for being in hell; everyone is dressed fancy, nobody is drunk or high on drugs, and everyone is laughing and talking. If I weren't the devil, he would think I wasn't in hell at all. "Oh my, this place is amazing!" Alastor gives me a smirk and sits down at the bar. He gets the bartenders attention: "Please play some King Oliver!" The bartender smiles and nods. "Of course, Alastor, anything for you!" The man tried to sound happy, but a hint of fear escaped, and he immediately put in the artist's request.

I listen and smile immediately, loving the music. Alastor hums along with the song, and without even realizing it, they start talking about everything: how it was raising Charlie, the books he has read and the one he's on, our favorite food, everything. For once, I looked at this man and saw Alastor, not the radio demon.
