Charlie and Vaggie entered the garden, instantly noticing Alastor was up and moving around. The red demon had ate, albeit not much, and was now working on the garden. He had stripped himself of his red coat, leaving him in his red button up and black slacks.

"Hey Al...," Charlie gave a nervous smile as she walked over to him with her girlfriend. Alastor turned at the sound of her voice, "Hello! And how are you two?" The two women looked at each other, they could tell at this point that any happiness the male demon was showing, was an act. The princess sighed, "Well, we're doing alright, of course I'm nervous but that's beside the point..."

"We're worried about you...," Vaggie added, "How are you doing Alastor?"

"I'm alright mes chers," he responded going over to grab the watering hose. The moth gave Charlie a worried look before she spoke once more, "Are you though? Or are you just saying you are...We've already seen you...ya know? You don't have to hide it from us—"

"I promise, I'm just fine," he cut her off, not wanting to discuss it any longer. Jonathan poked his head out of the forget me nots which caused the princess give a gentle smile, "Well, would you like us to help you with the garden a bit?"

"If you'd like to, then sure," Alastor responded as he started to water the flowers. Jon enjoyed the gentle spray, making him coil and look up at the red demon. Charlie and Vaggie got some aprons and garden tools. "I'm sure dad has some flower seeds somewhere," she was digging through a small metal cabinet, "AHA!" She pulls out some packets of flower seeds, some she had never see before, "Wow, Lucifer really liked flowers huh?," Vaggie commented on it all, studying each packet. "Mhm, he mainly grew all this for me when I was little, and I guess over time he just grew to love it," Charlie giggled at the unintended pun. "How about we plant some pink lilies then," the moth held up the packet of lily seeds. "Sure," the blonde demon agreed before they both when to empty plot.

Alastor put the watering hose down, which caused Jon to slither up his arm. He looked down at the serpent, "What is it?" The little snake flicked its tongue out playfully as it's eyes were glued to Alastor's shadow, who decided it would be fun to come out and play. As the red deer demon went to turn to look behind him, he was suddenly sprayed in the face, "Gah!"

His sudden cry of surprise, caused the girls to turn to see Alastor soaked while his shadow looked to be bent over laughing. They tried to hold in their own laughter but failed. The red demon raised a brow, "Oh you find this funny do you? Well then how about this?" He snapped his fingers and instantly his shadow sprayed Vaggie and Charlie, they both gave a small scream by the sudden coolness, but then ended up laughing. "Hey! Haha that was cold Al," the princess giggled. He chuckled, "Why I'd assume so!"

Vaggie grinned, "Oh it's on, you cheesy talk show!" She grabbed a bucket, filling with water from the pond that was to the right of the tree, before splashing the deer like man back. Both woman bursted into laughter once more. As the shadow then grinned they stopped. "Uh oh...," quietly came out of Charlie's mouth just as it turned rogue, going to try to spray all of them. But the group decided to start running to get away from the water.

While the group were laughing, it got the attention of passing servants. They smiled at the sight of the infamous, radio demon playing in the water with the heir to the throne and her girlfriend.

Vox let his tongue come out and wipe his screen before laughing, "You got what you deserved."
