StarFish: A Helluva Boss Fanfiction

Verosika and the rats (part 1)

"What!? The!? FUCK!?", Dani and Fritz would hear Lucas scream from his room. The fish demon ran into the garage where his band mates were.

"Please Lucas, scream louder. I'm not sure the other side of the pentagram heard you", Fritz sassed.

"Band. New. Wife. Wanna", Lucas said between breaths. "It amazes me he's the one with English as his first language", Dani chuckled.

Lucas handed his bandmates his phone as Dani read out loud. "Verosika Mayday is looking for new hellish talent for her next rock album. Do you have what it takes to be her new backup band? If your band isn't shitty, then why not try? Audition will be held on the 20th of June. Click here to sign up."

"How do you know this isn't a scam?", Fritz asked. "Look, if anything has 'Verosika Mayday' on it, I triple check to see if it's legit", Lucas said, taking his phone back, "And this, this is legit."

Fritz looked sceptical, while Dani was considering it.

"Guys it's destiny. Verosika Mayday wants a new rock band that isn't shitty. We're a rock band and all of our reviews say 'their music isn't that shitty'. Plus, it's Verosika fucking Mayday."

"You know what, fuck it. Let's audition, we have nothing to lose", Dani agreed. Lucas shouted and tackled Dani into a hug.

Fritz backed away with this arms crossed. "You know this could be a scam, right? They get our personal information and BOOM, identify theft. There is something to lose."

Lucas walked up to his stubborn bandmate and pulled him by the collar, "You're gonna lose your ability to walk if you don't agree in 3; 2-"

Fritz backed away, "What are you waiting for Dani, sign us up already", he said frantically.

...

For the next week, Rat Salad has been rehearsing non-stop for their audition. Dani had to restring his guitar at least 6 times because the strings kept breaking. Fritz's hands started bleeding twice from strumming his base and Lucas was somehow drumming so fast his sticks were on fire.

Lucas especially was pushing them to make this amazing. Dani agreed to let him take the lead on this one because of how much this meant to Lucas, and Fritz played along so Lucas wouldn't tear his limbs off (he knew he would respawn but that doesn't make the feeling of having your legs ripped off any less painful).

When the audition day came, the boys drove a small theatre in the Pride ring. Despite being nearly an hour early, it took forever to find a parking stop. The line outside the theatre ended two blocks away from the entrance.

Dani parked the van somewhere behind the theatre and Lucas and Fritz got out. "Lotta bands here", Fritz said.
"You guys see a pink convertible anywhere?", Lucas asked, climbing on top of the van.

"She won't be here yet, there's still like, 40 minutes 'til the auditions" Fritz brought up.

"I say we get in line before it gets any longer", said Dani as he hopped out of the van.

As the trio waited in line, Fritz scrolled through Sinstagram, looking at a page by moonlight_howling_666. He only looked away from his phone when he felt someone slap a post it note on his chest. "Band number 131", said a stocky built imp. "The hell?"

"Dude dude dude dude", Lucas repeated. Before either one of the other two would ask him what was up, a pink convertible drove up and everyone in line started screaming.

"Helloooo wannabes", Verosika said she stepped out of her car.

From every angle you could hear people shouting, "She's so fucking hot" "Step on me Mommy" and "For the love of Satan I want her to spit on me"

"Thank you! You're all wonderful! I'm not gonna do any of your kinky shit! Kisses!", and she walked into the building.

Lucas hadn't said a word since Verosika got out of her car. "Lucas? Lu? Hello?", Dani waved his hand in front of Lucas's face "Bro, there are hearts circling your head right now."

The only thing he could say was "Fuuuuuuck"
