In the following month after defeating Adam the hotel has become a peaceful place, there is chaos but everyone is getting along. Alastor is still quiet and to himself most of the time which he likes, He is okay with everyone leaving him alone. Lucifer moved in a week ago, Alastor and him are at each others throats which has become his pain of everyday. Its like walking on egg shells with him. He hates Alastor and will try to find anything to get Charlie to hate him too.

Alastor stands in the garden, his radio plays jazz softly in the background It is early in the morning nobody is awake yet. He takes a deep breath smelling the scent of roses. He grabs the hose and waters them, humming softly along with the music with a soft calm smile. He always wakes up early to get this time to himself before the chaos starts he tends the garden, he doesnt let anyone know just how much he likes doing it. how much he loves smelling the flowers, feeling the gentle breeze, hearing the birds Charlie is able to keep by the hotel chirp. It is the most peaceful time for him. He is especially proud if his red Gardenia it is extremely difficult to keep alive on earth and even more in hell.

He sits in the grass his cane across his lap infront of the Gardenia. "You are beautiful." He watches the birds come to the ground and look for food. Another secret of his. He loves animals. He looks at the time, 6:50 Charlie gets up at 7. He gets up walks inside then sits in his chair. He flicks his wrist to make a book appear in his hand. usung the string that is attached to open to the page he left off. He sends some shadows off to make breakfast for everyone while he reads.

Soon everyone starts waking up, Charlie and Vaggie, Niffty, Husk, Angel and then Lucifer. Alastor acts like they arent there. Everyone eats breakfast they all think Charlie makes them breakfast but they never say anything about it. Charlie is the only one that knows Alastor does. "Oh i know what we should do today!" Angel says as he swallows his bite of pancake. "We should take all the flowers out of the garden and make it a pool instead!" Alastor looks up for the first time since they have woken up then looks back down "That does sound nice." Husk agrees with him. "Oh oh yeah! then we can see what happens to the bugs when they watch their family drown!"

Everyone scoots away from her. "Anyway. Yeah i think that would be fun Charlie." Vaggie also agrees. "I can make it happen in a second!" Lucifer smirks. "A pool would be really fun. Okay le- oh wait we need to ask Alastor too!" "Charlie its 6 against 1 if he for some reason says no!" Angel points to Alastor. "He aint even paying attention to us! Hes ignored us since we got down here. Thats what he always does! Unless its to kill or make a deal then he doesnt give a shit! Watch. Smiles!" Alastor looks up and at Angel. "What were we talking about?" "Putting a pool in the garden. Then how i just ignore you and dont care about anything. Am i correct?" "Oh.. so you do pay attention.." "Yes Angel i do. I hear everything anyone says it just because im not making eye contact doesnt mean im not paying attention."

He goes back to reading. "Okay then what do you say Al?" Charlie says as she looks are him with a warm smile. Alastor wants to say no he wants to say he loves the garden and that he needs it but he cant let everyone know that. "Do what you wish Charlie its your hotel." He gets up and walks away.

Everone cheers then runs outside. Lucifer snaps making a pool take place of the flowers and plants. Alastor watches from the doorway. He looks over and sees his Gardenia out of the ground lying in the corner. Making sure nobody is watching he quickly grabs it then leaves. Charlie sees him as he walks away. "Guys i have a bad feeling.." "dont! This is great!" Everyone quickly gets in their bathing suits then jumps in. Lucifer lays on a floaty relaxing. Everyone else swims around excited.

He walks into his room the flower in his hand. "You did wonderful.." he sets it on his desk then grabs the necessary materials to preserve it. Charlie knocks. "Hey Al..?" "Come in dear." He sits down at his desk. "Are you.. okay?" "Of course, why wouldn't i be?" "Because of the pool..?" "I am not upset dear."
