((First part goes back 16 years))

~UNDERTAKER'S POV~

"Oh what lovely cuts! So deep and ragged! This will be fun! Hehehe!" I cheered as I examined my latest 'customer'. As I went to go get my needle and thread, there was a loud banging on the door of my shop. "Oh my, I guess they don't want to come in" I said as I walked to the door. When I slowly opened the door, there was no one there. I scratched my head in confusion. "I could've sworn I heard someone knocking" I told myself as I began to close the door again, but before I completely shut it, I heard a small cry. I opened the door wide and looked at my doorstep, and there was a small basket covered with a thin cloth on top. 'Hmm, I wonder what it could be. Nobody has left me gifts before, hehehe' I thought as I picked up the basket and brought it inside. As I removed the cloth from the top of the basket, I was met my a small, squirming baby, starting to cry. "Oh dear, don't cry little one, hehehe, it's alright" I cooed to the child as I picked it up and out of the basket. And the strangest thing happened; the child didn't continue to cry, like one normally would, instead...it began to giggle. "What an adorable little laugh you have, my dear!" I said to the baby with a big smile. "You aren't afraid of the darkness of my shop though...strange...most children, even those older than you, usually run away crying" I kept talking to the child as I sat down and cradled it in my arms. "You're different...I like different. Hehehe. I think I'll keep you!" I told it with a chuckle. "I got to name you, don't I? How about...Libitina? Yes! That's perfect! Hehehe"

<TIME SKIP ~ 5 years later>

"Daaaaaddy!!!" Libitina called to me as I finished up building a new coffin. "Yes? What is it, little one?" I asked. "I want to meet your next customer! You always seem so happy when you get a new one, so I wanna see!" the young girl explained. "Of course, my dear! That'd be just lovely!" I responded, surprised by her boldness. "Yay! Thanks daddy!" she squeaked and hugged me. "Hehehe. Not a problem, dear" I chuckled and hugged her back.

~~~~~tiny time skip to the next customer~~~~~

~LIBITINA'S POV~

"Ohh, so this is one of your customers, daddy?" I asked in awe of the somewhat mangled corpse before me. "Yes, Libitina, this man's name is Tom Thurmond. And he came to us to make him look handsome again, before his funeral" my father, who is known as 'the Undertaker' explained to me. I shook the dead man's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Thurmond! I'm Libitina! Me and my daddy are gonna straighten you out a bit and then get you ready for your send off party! Hehehe" I introduced myself with a giggle. "That's my little girl! So polite! Hehehe" my father complemented my behavior and ruffled my hair.
