Chapter 10: Important Meetup

Intro:

---

(Azazel's POV)

I woke up in the morning, with a big smile on my face. But suddenly, as I sat up, I felt my bed was heavier. I saw, sitting on both ends of the bed were Pearl and Marina. They were both holding their respective, preferred breakfast.

Marina: Are you hungry?

Pearl: We made you an extra delicious breakfast this morning.

But something felt off to me. They were smiling a lot, weirdly. Like, if they stretched their face anymore, they'd have a face cramp.

Azazel: Okay, what's up?

Pearl: What?

Marina: Why, whatever do you mean?

Azazel: I mean, you two aren't fighting this morning, you're both smiling very worriedly, as if you did something wrong, and since you have the money to get whatever you two could want, you don't want something from me.

They both sighed.

Pearl: Listen, yo. We've got something very important happening today.

Marina: We received a call from the Squid Sisters.

This shocked me a lot, to where they could both tell.

Pearl: Exactly! And they said they wanted to do a gig with, yours truly.

Azazel: Okay, and how do I fit into this? (There's no goddamn way they spilled the beans to Pearl or Marina.)

Marina: Well, before we set up the gig, they wanted to come over, and meet us personally, first.

I threw my shoulders and hands up, still looking visibly confused.

Marina: Now, don't take this too harshly, we love having you here, but you. Uh...

Pearl: You're an acquired taste.

I put my index finger and thumb on my chin, thinking.

Azazel: So... How much do you love having me here?

Pearl & Marina: This is serious! This is what we're talking about!

Azazel: Relax. I'm joking. I see what you're saying. You don't want them to meet me, because you're worried I'm going to blow this opportunity for you two.

Pearl: Exactly!

Marina elbowed Pearl.

Marina: Listen, we don't mean to sound rude. We'll even get you backstage passes to meet them, but we can't mess this up. Especially when it's not even happening yet.

Azazel: I see what you're saying.

Marina: That's good.

Marina and Pearl stood up.

Pearl: Well, we have to get ready now. They'll be here in a little while.

Marina: Don't let your breakfast go to waste.

Marina said as she closed the door.

I started eating the food. Eating. Not inhaling it.

Azazel: *Munch* They think I can't handle myself around people, eh? *Munch* Well. *Munch* They got another thing coming.

I had a mischievous smile on my face.
