Suddenly, an unwanted figure storms through the door of the mansion.

"Where is my daughter?"

"Oh, Stella!" Lizzie greets as she sets her teacup down, "Octavia isn't here but I've been giving her all the motherly supports she needs."

"I'm back now, so that's no longer necessary. Especially when it's from a lowly imp like yourself." Stella squawks.

"Big talk from the very woman who barely acknowledges her."

"Hmm. Alright then."

Stella points at the imp, who narrows her eyes at her.

Stella: You better know your place! I'll wipe that grin right off your face! I know you run a small business, so let me remind you. That I've been through hellfire, I survived and went higher. So, you don't mean nothing to me.

Stella flips her hair feathers in the imp's face, Lizzie spitting out a feather.

Stella: Why would a princess take advice from a peasant? Like you didn't know she had a queen as a parent! I might've moved out, but I'm back and I'm better! Move on over, Hell's greatest mother is me!

Lizzie swipes her tail at her in warning to back up.

Lizzie: I was there, I seen it, hun. When you decided to up and run. Neglected your daughter all this time. Seventeen years, Stella, ain't that a crime? There was a day that she came to me. Saying, "I need help, Mom-I mean, Lizzie". When did she last speak to you?

Stella glares at her, trying to tackle her, "Ugh, shut up, you bitch!"

Lizzie dodges her, moving elegantly as Stella lands on the ground. She then curtsies in her dress.

Lizzie: Oh, well it looks to me that I seem to be a bother! To a woman like you, well, it's really an honor! I love that girl as if she was my own daughter! You know what, honey? You should call me "Hell's greatest mom"!

Stella: You seem to have a lot to say. You're lucky I'm not here to stay!

The bird demon goes to leave, but Lizzie's scoff stops her.

Lizzie: Even so, what would you do? 'Cause, Stella, I ain't scared of you.

Stella: You should watch your tone!

Lizzie: You don't have a throne.

Lizzie chuckles as Stella glares at her.

Stella: You will cower from my hellish power!

Lizzie: Gosh, you should lighten up. I was only playin' games.

Stella: Don't tell me what to do, you and I are not the same.

The two start to go back and forth in the argument.

Lizzie: We both want the best for her!

Stella: But you kill people!

Lizzie: Says the one who put a hit on us!

Stella: Truth hurts, darling!

Lizzie: Still do a better job than you!

Stella: OH, HOW DARE-

Vickie cuts in, entering the room in party attire.

Vickie: Look at you two, you really think you are the best? For Loona, I go above. Every day, I fight for love. There's nothin' I won't do, I'm greater than both of you. I'm Hell's greatest mom-

"Shut up!" the two women say in unison.

"Sorry, just wanted to join in." Vickie shrugs sheepishly, "By the way, sis, I'll be at a party on Earth and Stolas wanted to see you in the garden."

"Thank you, Vickie. Please escort Stella out on your way out." Lizzie walks off.

"Of course, Lizzie. Come on, Stella-"

"Don't touch me, you filthy imp!" Stella squawks as she leaves the mansion, Vickie rolling her eyes as she leaves as well.
