Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Ch.140 - 'Fetching' the Phone 📲

The Cherubs were now hiding in a fort made of beanbags, pilled onto each other like a trio on an album cover, now ready to make their move after their recent change-of-plans; to steal Vortex's phone instead of Loona's during Balin's school play.

"Umm... A-A-Are you sure this is a good idea?" Collin asked, perched on top of Keenie, ...who was perched on top of Cletus too.

"Hmm..." Cletus put on a smug grin. "I'm not sure how the Earth tongue sounds in our dialect, but if by 'this is a good idea', you mean 'we're all going to die' then yes: This will be a piece of cake."

Collin gulped in a sudden sweat rush. "Not for me!" he whispered in a shiver.

"Whatever act that sweetie touched Cletus with must have been contagious." grunted Keenie.

"I just liked what I saw. Is that so bad?" the baby angel sounded agitated.

"Shut up! God is speaking." Keenie shushed them.

"Okay ladies and gentlemen!" Principal Astor spoke. "Hope you're done with YOUR juice boxes, ...full of booze, because we are now back with the second act!"

With everyone now clapping, the Cherubs' chance at another move towards I.M.P have now come.

"Go, go, go; again!" Cletus whispered in a push or two.

The three little angels flew from the beanbag piles, all the way into the area of a classroom where the backpacks and toys were all tidied up and hung. They soon peaked their foreheads and eyes over the window, where they watched as the next performance happened.

"First of all, I would like to say... shit!" he spoke. "Who knew Balin Johnson could sing LIKE THAT?!"

He then turned to a pale-looking backstage worker standing at the side of the stage.

"I sure as fuck didn't." he whispered in his shock before turning back to the audience, ...and before they collapsed.

He then returned to the middle of the stage and continued his announcement: "I mean, wow and all, but there's plenty more where that came from! So, to kickstart our next performance is, eh... O-Oh. Balin again, along with Matt Sanders and Amy Flóurest, as they sing an all-new Christmas song. This is Evergreen."

Everybody in the audience clapped, with more lighter cheers than before, as Balin and his two BFFs walked onstage; the little lead singer still holding his guitar.

The Cherubs watched from the window, even one of Collin's sheep ears perked up, to see and hear Balin's acoustic guitar strumming away as he, Matt, and Amy started singing a song by Pentatonix called 'Evergreen.'

BALIN, MATT, and AMY (singing):
There is a box in the attic
We take it down each year
And pass through generations, lights and souvenirs
From the ones who came before us
The reason why we're here
Singing all these carols and spreading all this cheer
Don't forget, never lose
All the joy that's made for you.

As they watched, Keenie's eyes darted at Loona to see she was once again recording this performance with a soft smile, while Vortex still had his phone

"Okay, uhh, who's the lucky one grabbing the phone?" asked Collin. "IF we're gonna do this, that is."

"I'll do you one better; who has a coin." Cletus replied quietly, but very sarcastically. "No! We are grabbing that phone from whatever hole that hellhound has, and as soon as"
