The Date pt 1

Plot
Lucifer is being begged by Charlie to join her and vaggie for Christmas and to bring his date that doesn't exist

Lucifer was in a bit of a pickle at the moment. Charlie had sent him a message to join her and Vaggie for Christmas this year. Now that itself was wonderful and Lucifer wanted nothing more then to spend the holiday with his daughter, especially since they haven't seen each other in a few years. But the part that was the problem, Lucifer had been making up stories and stuff about how his life was going. And now she wanted him to come join for the holidays and bring along his new partner...that never existed in the first place.
"Think Lucifer Think!" He said to himself as he paced around his room some. The problem all stemmed from his made up stories.
Lucifer hasn't had a very easy life, with the loss of his wife, and then separation from his daughter when she moved out, he fell into a strand of rather bad depression episodes and one of them got so bad that Charlie actually took a flight to come home and look after her father for a bit.
Lucifer loved that she came home but at the same time it also made him feel even worse for the reason why she did. So thats where Lucifer came up with his idea to make up everything.
He started to tell Charlie that he had met someone and was doing a lot better with his depression, having someone to love again and taking all these trips and stuff with him. While in reality he wasn't, he just got better at hiding his depression from her.

And thats where the root of his problem started, he had made up all these stories and stuff and now he had less then a day to find a solution. He had to be on a flight by tonight to get out to her place in time for Christmas. He was pacing around his room as he tried to think of something...anything that could help him out of this predicament.
"I could cancel...no..I cant do that to her" he said to himself as he thought of potential solutions before being interrupted by a gurgling stomach, he groaned to himself, he knew there wasn't any food in the house. It was one of the ways he punished himself for ruining everything, by just not eating much. He put a hand on his stomach and sighed, knowing he would need to start eating something as to not make a scene at Charlie's. He walked over and grabbed his keys and wallet from the counter as he was leaving the house and locking the door behind him before he started down the sidewalk.

After a short 20 minute walk, he went inside the little grocery and gave a nod to one of the cashiers at the desk as he walked past them, taking a cart with him as he did he started to move around the store and grab some groceries as he did, the items slowly piled up in the bottom of his cart as he continued to think of solutions to his current issue.
"10 bucks for a carton of eggs is just ridiculous" he heard a complain followed with a sigh.
"Shouldn't have to be choosing between eating healthy or a roof over my head" came the voice again, Lucifer moved the cart and over the the next aisle and stopped as he stared at the gentleman standing there holding a carton of eggs in his hand as he looked at the prices of others. He was a rather tall fella compared to Lucifer himself, and that bright red hair and ears was hard to miss. Lucifer continued to look at the guy as he sighed and put the eggs back on the shelf. He had a rather strong but suddle build, clean look to himself as he wore a pair of black pants and brown dress shoes, followed by what he guess was a white shirt and vest underneath a tailored suit. The guy in question started to push his cart forward but stopped as he saw the short blonde staring at him.
"...and what are you looking at blondie?" Al said in a bit of an aggravated tone. He knew that he shouldn't have been so rude sounding when he said that. But he was frustrated, tight on money and really didn't like people staring at him.
"....Your perfect!" He heard before watching as the guy quickly approached him. Alastor didn't even have time to process what was happening before he felt the blonde grab his hand and start to drag him with a surprising amount of force.
"Wh..Hey!" He said as he tried to pull his hand free. He was honestly shocked by how much stretch this stranger packed, he was nearly a foot shorter then himself and yet Al was having difficulties trying to get free from his grip.
"Let go of me!" Alastor said as he pulled back against the guy which seemed to help as he turned and looked back at him.
"What is your problem!?" He was asked as he stared at the guy.
"My problem...gee lets see, what about starting off with a short blonde trying to drag me out of the store without any explanation!" Alastor said in a rather annoyed tone as he finally managed to yank his hand free from his kidnapper.
"Do I really have to explain?"
"Yeah...you really do" he said as he crossed his arms and stared at the blonde and groaned and flopped his head back like a over dramatic kid.
"What is this world coming to. Movies make things so much easier" he said as he finally looked at Alastor again with a look of *really*
"I haven't seen my daughter in going on 4 years, I suffer from depression and made up a story of meeting a guy so she would stay away from my life and focus on hers, we'll now she wants me to join her for Christmas and to bring my partner...and you happen to match the descriptions...vaguely but enough and I have to leave tonight. So theres your explanation now lets go!" He said as he went to reach for Alastors arm again only for Al to move out of the way.
"1....Dont ever touch me again. 2. Dont even think of touching me again. 3
im horrified that you had an offspring, you are a complete nuisance yourself. 4. Im not following some random stranger to who knows where. 5. That sounds like a whole lot of not my problem" Alastor said as he stood there looking at him.
"Now if you'll excuse me, Im leaving" he said as he turned around to leave only to stop.
"Ill pay you whatever you want...just play along" that simple set of words made him stop in his tracks. His hand moving down and ghosting over his pocket where his empty wallet hid at, he internally groaned to himself.
"....how long is this thing..." he said without even looking over his shoulder.
"It is an entire week, we leave tonight and spend the holidays with my daughter, after returning you can go on your way and we never meet again" He heard, he stood there for a moment thinking it over as he weighed out the pros and cons. He lived alone so that was a plus, he needed the money which was another plus. But...dealing with this shorty that he wanted to punch after just a few moments of him was a con...a big...short one at that.
"500 a day, price is negotiable to change" he said as he tossed out his offer.
"Why does it need to be negotiable?"
"Depends on how much you annoy me" he said as he turned around now to look at Lucifer.
"So...do we have a deal?" He asked as he stood there and held out a hand for him to shake. Lucifer nodded as he grabbed onto Alastors hand.
"Its a deal" Lucifer said as he shook the hand to confirm the deal.
"Grab some supplies, extra clothes and stuff to shower with and what have you and meet me at my house later, from there we will go to the airport and then off to her house for the holidays, here's my number just incase" he said as he wrote down his phone number on a card and gave it to Al before he watched Al nod at this leave.
They shook on the deal and made the arrangements as Lucifer gave Al the address to meet him at tonight eith some extra clothes and supplies while he texted Charlie to let her know that he was going to make it and he was bringing his partner along with him as well. He smiled as he read the text back from Charlie before hearing a car pull up in his driveway and a knock on the door which earned a sigh from him as he looked down at his phone and clicked the screen off before getting up and grabbing his own suitcase with clothes. He picked it up and started to carry it down the stairs and stopped as he looked at the door now.
"...Hopefully this isn't a mistake"
