Valentino officially moved out of the tower, he opened a new studio in Pentagram City, taking all his souls with him. Vox was beside himself he never thought Valentino, would actually leave. He wasn't going to admit it but, he did miss the moth.

Velvette knew, alhough she didn't care. All she knew was, this was getting ridiculous. Next time the idiot, is dumb enough to have an angelic bullet ricochet and not hit the ground, she was letting him die.

Angeldust never blocked Valentino on sinstagram because, the moth never actually used it. Velvette handled all four of their social media accounts on every platform. Vox was occasionally on his but, Valentino couldn't be bothered, he was too busy harassing his workers to use social media.

Little did Anthony know he was on his own, now. Silently stalking the spider's page when he wasn't directing films. He never liked any of the posts. But, he even changed his following settings for the spider, Valentino was notified EVERY SINGLE TIME Anthony posted.

The ex-pornstar in question was performing at the Casino as usual he wore a sparkly black spaghetti strap crop top with matching sparkly black bell bottom leggings. He wore black ankle boots as well. He specifically ask Husk to have Cherri and Mia as back up dancers for one song. Husk didn't care though, so Angel asked them, and they agreed enthusiasticly.

Cherribomb and Mia were changing into their outfits in the dressing room, Anthony downed his fourth bottle of water. He waited for Cherribomb and Mia to get ready. He walked out onto the stage after both of them were on either sides of the stage ready for the music to start.

He grabbed the mic and began singing just as the girls walked onto the stage and began dancing behind him. They were dressed in almost circus costumes with black top hats.

"My friends don't walk, they run
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun.
Popping, popping balloons with guns." He made finger guns with one hand and blew at his fingers.

"Getting high off helium,
We paint white roses red
Each shade from a different person's head, This dream, dream is a killer, Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar." He sang.

The microphone remained in the stand as two of his hands ran over his face, as he sang the next part.

"Now I'm peeling the skin off my face,
'Cause I really hate being safe! The normals, they make me afraid. The crazies, they make me feel sane!"

Cherribomb and Mia popped confetti cannons that, Husk was not made aware of.

His eyes widened. Annoyance and slight anger evident in his facial expression. He was gonna have to clean that later!

The spider walked back towards his friends and was now between them dancing along as he sang.

"I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had,
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong!" He cheered. The three of them rolled their fingers around near their temples.

"Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker.
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are"

He continued singing as the girls kept dancing. He turned  Cherribomb.

"My brain is scattered." He pointed at her before singing the next line.
"You can be Alice, I'll be the Mad Hatter"

The performance went on, Anthony crawled around the stage with all six of his arms out. It looked incredibly creepy.   Everyone watching the performance, gasped. He he twisted his head around 360° like it was nothing and stood back up as the song ended. It was his last song of the night. He brought tons of new customers to the casino too.

He and the girls walked off the stage. Cherribomb and Mia hugging him and hyping him up.

"You were so good!" Mia squealed.

"You bitches killed dat shit!" He stated.

"Tell Husk I'll clean the confetti." Cherri stated.

It was silent for a moment while Angel and Mia processed her words. Then, the three of them laughed. They all knew she was not.

Husk would not have cared. If they asked, he would have made it somebody else's job. But, he had no one here scheduled long enough to clean up every motherfucking piece of confetti.

The trio walked out of the 'employees only' door laughing. Their arms around each other. The laughter subsided when they were met by a certain cat demon with red wings and Red furrowed eyebrows to match.  Husk's arms were crossed and his foot was tapping.

All three of the demons looked at each other with the same 'oh shit' expression.

"Confetti cannons?!" He asked in annoyance.

Anthony stepped forward pressing his index fingers together. "Woould.....  you be less mad if it were my idea?..... Business partner?" He asked trying to get Cherribomb off the hook because, it was her idea. He batted his eyelashes.

Husk tilted his head rolling his eyes. "No! That would make me more mad because, you didn't ask me! We have people that could've been here, to clean this up, but ya didn't tell me so now we, gotta do it!" He groaned.

Anthony turned to look at Cherribomb, he mouthed a sorry to her. Mia gasped.

"Uh, we?" She asked.

"Yes, you and Cherribomb included!" He groaned.

Cherribomb groaned, her eye rolling hard as she complained.

"But I got a hot date with pent-"

Husk shrugged, shaking his head without sympathy.  "Hmmm well, ya shoulda thought about that, before ya make a mess of the casino without giving the proper heads up. We have janitors and shit but, only two are scheduled, it would take them forever to get every damn piece of paper off the floors and tables."

Cherribomb scratched her head awkwardly. That was a fair point. "Why didn't you tell him?" She asked Anthony.

The spider shrugged. "I honestly didn't think about it. I figured it would be fine."

Husk held a finger between his eyes. He shook his head. "You're just lucky it's not glitter, we'd have to pay for a whole sanitation crew for that!"

The spider nodded. "Sorry Husky." His head hung low. Cherribomb and Mia also apologized.

Husk sighed. He waved for Mia and Cherri to leave him and Anthony alone. Once they wandered out of war shot, Husk held two of the spider's hands.

"It's fine, Tony. But, we're a team, we make decisions together. I know this is new, I'm not mad I just wish ya told me or thought ahead so, we had enough people here to clean." He explained.

Anthony nodded again. "I'll do bett-"

Husk shook his head. He cut Anthony off. "Ahh, you're not doing bad. You didn't know. It's okay. Now ya do, right?"

Anthony nodded. Husk wrapped an arm around his waist as they walked through the casino together and over to the bar. After a drink, the four of them stayed until two in the morning; cleaning up all of the confetti. He let Cherri leave since she had plans, and it really wasn't that serious. Mia, Husk, and Anthony did a once over of the area making sure there was no confetti left. What sucked was anyone who watched the show, and went to the slot machines or a private table afterward, tracked confetti throughout the casino, which is why it took so long.  Husk, Anthony and Mia said goodnight as they made their way out of the casino. Husk carried Anthony on his back as he flew home. The spider  held onto him tightly.

"I swear to god if you drop me!" Anthony warned.

Husk raised an eyebrow. He spoke loudly over the wind.

"You're holding onto me, if you fall it's your own fault. I offered to carry you." Husk mentioned.

Anthony's eyes narrowed why did he think this was better? He grew his third set of arms now all six of them were tightly around the cat demon. Husk chuckled.
