Cherribomb woke up in the very early hours of the morning to a soft whimpering sound coming from outside her room. She got out of bed wiping her tired eye and wandered out of her room. She walked into the living room and saw nothing, but continued to hear the sobs.

She went through her living room past the kitchen and knocked on the spider's door. He was having another nightmare.  She couldn't hear what he was saying until she got to the door. A tear welled up in her eye and eyebrow furrowed.

"Angie?" She sighed before opening the door, and walking in, worried about her friend. Fat Nuggets was also disturbed by the crying, he waddled around the bed in distress as he snorted. He couldn't get on the bed by himself. She picked up the small pig and sat on Angel's bed.

Cherribomb didn't want to startle him with her presence but, she knew whatever was going on in his mind wasn't good.

"Angie, you're having nightmare. Wake the fuck up." Her voice was soft. He didn't wake up fully but, he was awre of her presence now and he wrapped an arm around her tightly.

"Th-than-ank y-you." His voice was shaking as his body trembled. She wrapped an arm around him. He got these alot with either memories from life, or jobs gone wrong down here, and now Valentino. Cherri wanted more than anything to tell the moth off but, she wasn't an overlord the fuck was she gonna do? She might have blew up a few of the moth's so precious sex clubs, after finding out she was right about who was abusing her friend. There was Nothing she could do against the moth himself. It wouldn't do Angie any good, and she did know that. It didn't change how pissed she was about the situation though. Cherribomb fell back to sleep round thirty minutes later not leaving the spider's side.

The spider woke up much later around noon to several missed messages and a calls. All but one being from Valentino. The spider groaned.  He didn't even bother reading them he check his personal phone and the only message there was from a certain cat demon.

Shnookums 🎲♥️

Morning handsome. I love you and I hope you have a good day.

Alastor's got me at the hotel again but at least I get free booze.

Anthony smiled at the good morning message but sighed at the second one.

Baby🩷 🕸️

Morning kitty, heading to work. See ya later maybe??

With that the spider was quick to get dressed he texted the sleeping Cherribomb just so she'd know he was at work whenever she did wake up. He kissed his piglet goodbye filled up his food bowl put on his boots and walked out of the apartment.

At The Hazbin Hotel, Husk poured a glass of something for the snake demon he didn't really pay attention to what he asked for cause he was too busy thinking about a certain spider. Suddenly the princess approached the bar and sat down.

"Hey Husk, do you have any ideas on how we can ge-"

Husk's eyebrows furrowed. He knew what the rest of the sentence was so he didn't even need to pay attention.

Why does this kid want my opinion? He wondered. He sighed, and he shrugged.

"I don't know. What you're doing here is stupid anyway. You think these motherfuckers care about where they end up? No. They're gonna take advantage of you Princess, and you're playing with fire thinking Al really wants to help you." He took a swig of his booze.

The princess frowned. She's not really used to members of the hotel doubting her. Vaggie and Alastor and their usual bartender are quite helpful. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings, he was just telling it how it was.
