A Diamond a Devil

"If We Could Make Up. . . That'd Be Awesome."

"What's that?" "An orchid, blue." Bad nodded, as Skeppy showed him photos from the overworld. "What animals do you have here?" Bad questioned. "Uhh, pigs, horses, cows... You know." Bad frowned. "No I do not." Skeppy smiled. "Do you wanna see them?" Bad nodded with a smile.

"I would show you in person if I could get you out of here..." Skeppy stood up, and tried shaking the hard metal bars, Bad giggled. "I don't think that will work, Skeppy." He smiled up at him, as he was still sitting down. "It will work give me second, then you'll be free and stuff." Skeppy spoke quickly, still shaking the bars as hard as he could. "Geppy..." He smiled, "It's okay, I'm fine in here. I'm fine with just... Seeing pictures."

Skeppy sighed, and sank back onto the ground. "Okay..." He held his kegs to his chin.

Skeppy studied Bad's body as theys sat in silence for a few moments. "Are you like..." He brought his legs back down to the ground crossing them. "Hm?" Bad looked back up at his friend. "Are there like species of you guys? Like different lookin' demons?" Bad cocked his head.

"Why do you ask?" "You just look... Way less human than the other demon I know. Like your skin... And your eyes," Skeppy squinted. "I dunno... She just... Looked more human." Bad smiled. "I can look human if you want me to." "Huh?" "I'll still have horns... And a tail and fangs... And stuff." Bad snickered. "What are you laughing at." Skeppy asked sternly. "There's not... Species of Nether demons... The other demon you know just... Happened to want to look human at the moment."

Skeppy nodded.

"Can I see what you look like as a human?"

"ZAAAKKKKK!!" His mother's voice echoed through his large bedroom. "Goooo awayyy..." He grumbled covering his ears with his pillow. "I have a surprise for you..." She mused, sitting on the edge of his bed. "C'mon, get up." Skeppy groaned. "Zak, it's importantttt." Skeppy unburied his face turning around to stare at her.

"Whattt?" He rubbed his eyes. "The surprise... I keep talking about?" Stepped whined, falling back onto his pillow. "What? What is it." He asked, hoping she wouldn't actually answer. "You know... The lovely girl Tiffany?" Skeppy frowned. "She's not lovely. She sucked." His mom nodded.

"Lose that attitude." "No." "Drop it." "No." "Zak." "What?" "Look at me." He hesitated, before sitting back up, looking into her brown eyes. "I didn't wanna marry your father." She studied his movements carefully. "But I did." She said in a neutral tone. "You can fuss all you want. You're doing it." "When you become king you need a queen."

Skeppys diamonds glowed, as he fell back on his bed again, then covered his face his face with a nearby pillow. "I'm not doing thaaaattt..." His voice muffled from the pillow. "Stand up." He felt her weight lift from the end of his mattress. "I don't... Wanna." "Zak. Stand up." Skeppy didn't speak. "Get up. Come on." Skeppy sat up, tossing his pillow across the room.

"What." He turned to her. "What is it? What is it that you want to tell me?!!" She sighed. "You... You should get dressed." She smiled. "Wear something nice, hm?" Skeppy exhaled. "Whatever..." He mumbled as his mother exited his bedroom.

"What's she doing here?" Skeppy exhaled looking at Tiffany standing in front of him next to his mother. "She- you and her... I thought it'd be nice if... You two went on a date! Hm? Just- just to get to know each other more!" He stared at Tiffany, her arms crossed, and her usual cold expression.

"Is... Do I have a choice?" Skeppy asked, hoping he didn't have to, his arms held sternly at his sides. "No." His mom stated flatly. "Okay! Tiffany knows whatever- what she wants to do!! Just- just follow her! I'll leave you to it!" She smiled, holding her dress just to her ankles as she exited the room, rushing down the corridor.
