Hardy Wiley belongs to @dustinlaughlin
Sophie and Blitz McKnight belong to @loli-momo1908
Sophie was showing off her costume to her brother and friends since Halloween was coming in a few days.
Sophie - *excited* “Look at this cool witch costume Niffty made me!”
Blitz - “Wow Sophie, your costume looks really amazing.”
Niffty - “I can make you a costume Blitz!”
Angel - *flirty* “He can be a sexy doctor while I can be his sexy nurse.”
Blitz - *annoyed* “In your dreams, you idiot. to Niffty* No thanks Niffty. I can make my own costume.”
Niffty - *bummed* “Aw. *to Hardy* Ooh what about you Hardy? I can make you a sexy bad boy and show off those delicious muscles of yours! *laughs creepily*
Hardy - *uncomfortable* “Uhh…No thank you Niffty. I’m fine.”
Sophie - *to Vaggie* “Are you gonna dress up Vaggie?”
Angel - “She’s already got her costume on: an annoying bossy witch!”
Vaggie growled in anger and annoyance.
Charlie - *cooing* “Aw Sophie, you look adorable! Remind me how I was excited for Halloween when I was your age. It’s my dad’s favorite holiday. Also mine. And Sonya’s. And Liz.”
Hardy - “Sounds like the love of Halloween runs in the family.”
Charlie - *nervously* “Well…Not all the family.”
()()()()()()()()()
At Sonya and Liz’s house, they were in their room deciding what their costumes should be so they can ready for Halloween this year.
Sonya - *excited* “Man, I love this holiday!”
Liz - “Hell yeah cause of all the candy we get!”
Sonya - “So any ideas what we should be?”
Liz - “I was thinking of something super scary, like Sadako Yamamura from The Ring. What about you?”
Sonya - “Maybe something magical like a fairy or a tiger since I love those guys.”
Liz - *nervously* “You think Dad would take us?”
Sonya - *doubtful* “I don’t know because it's like every year Dad gets grumpy around this time.”
Liz - “You don't think he's still mad from...*whispers* The Incident?”
Sonya - *whispers* “I hope not, I mean it's been years. Then again, he is the type that can hold grudges for years.”
Liz - “Do you think we should ask? He can be pretty scary when he’s angry.”
Sonya - “Good idea.”
Sonya went downstairs and saw her parents relaxing in the living room. Her dad Azarel was reading a book, while her mom Zella was knitting a scarf. Sonya took a deep breath and said:
Sonya - “Mom, Dad, can Liz and I go trick or treating with Charlie and Uncle Lucifer?”
Azrael simply grumbles without saying a word. Zella notices and remembers how her husband hates this time of year.
Zella - “Um…Sweetie it best you don’t ask that so your father don’t get stressed.”
Sonya - “But I-“
Her father gave her a stern stare. That’s the look Sonya and Liz know what that means and not to push their luck.
Sonya - *nervously* “Uhh…I’m gonna go to the hotel. We will be back before dinner!”
Liz - *nervously* “Uh, yeah, good idea.”
The two girls zipped away, leaving cloudy puffs.

At the hotel they were doing a show and tell day. It was Hardy’s turn and he was showing his friends his pictures from his training days.
Hardy - “This is when I had to run with rocks tied to my waist. It got hard but after that it felt like I was running with a pillow. And here's me when I was wrestling with a pack of bears. The toughest one was the Mama Bear. She was the alpha.”
Charlie - *shocked* “You actually arm wrestle with a bear?!”
Husk - “I kind of find that shit hard to believe.”
Niffty - “Did you get to kill it?! And make a coat after it?”
Hardy - “Not just arm wrestle, Charlie. I mean full-on body-contact wrestling. The Mama Bear had me in a squeezing hold and everything. And no Niffty, I didn't kill the bear.”
Niffty - *frowns* “Well that's boring.”
Angel - “Oh I do a lot of full on body contact wrestling in my movies. Sometimes there’s more than one if you know what I mean.” *purs*”
Blitz - *annoyed* “We didn’t need to know that Angel.”
Hardy - “Oh really? Who was your toughest opponent?”
A drum rimshot was played in the background, as Angel made an unamused expression. Charlie and Vaggie were holding in their laughter.
Sophie - “Hardy, you didn’t get hurt wrestling?”
Hardy - “Yeah, but like I said before, Grandmaster Mogwai knows a really good doctor that can bring you back from the brink of double-death.”
Husk - “If that's so, maybe I should see him.”
Hardy - “Really, why's that?”
Charlie - “Are you hurt in any way Husk?”
Angel - “I know different ways to make him better. He can get into the bed with me.”
Husk - *annoyed* “I just hope he's good with migraines. My biggest one is with Legs over there.”
Angel - *annoyed* “Hey!”
Then they heard a knock on the door.
Vaggie - “I got it.”
Vaggie went to the door and saw Sonya and Liz.
Vaggie - *calls* “Charlie, your cousins are here!”
Charlie - *happy* “There’s my baby cousins!”
Sonya - *smiles* “Hey Cousin Charlie.”
Sophie - *happy* “Sonya! Lizzie!”
Sophie ran and hugged them. Sonya and Liz smiled and hugged her back.
Sonya - “Hey Sophie, how are you doing?”
Sophie - “Good! I’m excited for Halloween! Are you and Lizzie gonna come trick or treating with me?”
Sonya - *doubtful* “Mmm not sure.”
Liz - “We tried asking Dad, but he's always grumpy this time of year.”
Charlie - *realizes* “Ohhhhh... You mean he's still mad about... that?”
Sonya and Liz nod with a frown.
Charlie - *worried* “Oh dear.”
Hardy - “Is there something wrong?”
Sonya - “Our dad gets grumpy around this time.”
Husk - “Why? Does he hate Halloween? I could understand that because of the fucking pranks.”
Hardy - “What does your Dad get mad about?”
Liz - “We wouldn't say that he hates Halloween. More like he's still upset about... The Incident.”
Hardy - *confused* “What incident?”
Charlie - “Well it happened when Sonya and Liz were six years old. After Liz was tamed. It was Halloween-“
Flashback
Little Sonya was giggling as Azarel was fixing her costume. Her costume was a blue butterfly.
Azarel - *gushing* “You look so cute as a butterfly sweetie!”
Little Sonya - “Thanks Daddy! Is Uncle Luci gonna be here soon? I can't wait to go trick or treating!”
Azarel - *chuckles* “Yea he’s coming and your cousin Charlie is coming too.”
Little Sonya - “Yay!!”
Little Liz - “She’s our favorite cousin! She’s so cool!”
The doorbell rings.
Azrael - “That must be them.”
Azarel opened the door and saw Charlie and Lucifer.
Lucifer - *happy* “Ray-Ray! There’s my favorite brother! Come here!”
Gave him a hug and Azarel was struggling a bit.
Azarel - *struggles* “Luci, you're crushing me!”
Lucifer - *lets go* “Oh come on, I haven't seen you for a long time! I think I have the right to hug my brother.”
Charlie - *happy* “Hi Uncle Azarel! *sees Sonya* Aw there’s my little cousin! Come here.”
Little Sonya squealed in happiness and ran toward Charlie and gave her a big hug.
Little Liz - “Don't forget me cuz!”
Charlie - “Aww of course sweetie!”
Charlie gave her a hug in shadow form. Their fathers were happy that their daughters have such a close bond with each other.
Azarel - “Well thank you again for taking them trick or treating. Zella and I would have done it, but we need to protect the house from pranksters and also give out candy to trick or treaters.”
Lucifer - *smiles* “Oh of course, anything for my sweet lil' nieces.”
Lucifer playfully pinches Little Sonya and Liz's little cheeks like a grandmother would. Little Sonya and Liz giggled at this.
Azarel - “Okay so here’s a list of the candies they can eat and the time they should be home *give Lucifer the note* And make sure they come back safe and unharmed.”
Lucifer - *smiles and salutes* “Yes sir! You can count on me, bro! *to the girls* Come on let’s go girls.”
As soon Lucifer, Sonya, Liz and Charlie went outside, Charlie saw Lucifer crumble the note and threw it away.
Charlie - *concerned* “Um dad, weren’t those the rules uncle Azarel gave you?”
Lucifer - “Hey don’t we need them. Rules are meant to be broken. Especially on Halloween.”
Charlie - *worries* “But dad, what if there was something important on that note?”
Lucifer - *scoff* “Don’t worry about it. Azarel is just being a killjoy like he always been.
Little Sonya and Liz giggled at their uncle’s comment.
Charlie - *doubtful* “ I...I don't know.”
Lucifer - “Oh come on, Charlie! It's Halloween! You don't want to make your cousins sad, would you?”
Charlie looks at her cousins as they give her the most adorable puppy-dog eyes that you could possibly make in their age. The cuteness was making Charlie falling for it.
Charlie - *determined* “You're right! Let them have fun!”
So for the next few hours, Charlie, Lucifer, Sonya and Liz were having fun trick or treating. Sometimes Sonya would switch with Liz so she can get some candy as well. They were getting a lot of candy and even pulling pranks on people. Like TPing their house, throwing eggs, and even leaving exploding pumpkins.
Then it was time to head home as Sonya was eating some candy from her candy bag. Even Liz was eating some too.
Lucifer - “See Charlie? Everything turned out great! We had fun, the girls had candy, and nothing bad happened. Everyone wins!”
Charlie - “Yeah. I guess I was worrying too much.”
Little Sonya - “Umm…Uncle Luci, I feel itchy *scratch her arm*”
Lucifer - *confused* “Hmmm, that's strange. You don't suppose mosquitoes are out tonight, do you?”
Charlie - *looks up* “No, I haven't seen anything.
Little Sonya kept scratching her arm more. Then Charlie noticed hives on little Sonya’s arm and it was spreading everywhere. Charlie and Lucifer’s eyes widen in shock.
Charlie - *cries* “Where did these hives come from?!”
Lucifer - *freaked out* “Oh geez! We gotta take her home!!”
Lucifer picked up little Sonya as he and Charlie ran back to Azrael's house. However, not wanting to get caught by his brother and sister in law, Lucifer made a portal for him, his daughter and little nieces to go through. After going through the portal, they ended up on the upstairs floor of the house in the hallway. Seeing the bathroom door, Lucifer quickly shoves them all in the bathroom. He turned on the light and said:
Lucifer - “Okay now to find some medicine.”
Little Liz - *worried* “Is Sonya gonna be okay? “
Charlie - “Don’t worry she will be fine. She needs something for the hives.”
Lucifer was looking through the medicine cabinet. However he was making a lot of noise moving some stuff around. The noises got Azarel’s attention.
Azarel - *confused* “What the hell? What's all that noise?”
Azarel walked upstairs and saw the bathroom door slightly open with the light on. He opened the door and saw Lucifer, Charlie looking worried as he went through the medicine cabinet. Little Sonya’s hives were spreading on her body and continuing scratching.
Azarel - What the?!
Little Sonya - *innocently* “Hi daddy! I got hives from candy.”
Azrael glares his eyes at Lucifer.
Azrael - *low growl* “Lucifer…”
Lucifer nervously smiles as he starts to sweat.
Lucifer - *nervously* “Hey Azzi…How ya been?”
Azarel - *calling* “Zella! Get the benadryl!”
Little Sonya - *excited* “Guess what daddy? I got a lot of candy! Rules are made to be broken.”
Azrael - “They what?!”
Azrael's eyes glow in anger as he snarled at Lucifer as he simply nervously chuckled and sweat even harder.
Lucifer - *nervously* “You know how kids like to joke right?”
Little Liz - “But you said- “
Lucifer - *covers her mouth* “Not now sweetie. We will talk it later.”
After Zella came with the benadryl, Little Sonya took the medience that made her sleepy. After putting on her pajamas, little Sonya went to sleep in her bed. Zella came back after putting Sonya to bed.
Zella - “There. She’s now asleep and I threw out the candy with peanuts so she won’t accidentally eat.”
Azrael - *relief* “That's good. Thank you honey. *low angry tone towards Lucifer* You. In the other room. We need to talk. Now!”
Lucifer gulped really hard. He knew that he’s in big trouble. He may be the king of hell, but he’s still Azarel’s little brother. Lucifer always hated getting in trouble by his older siblings.
Charlie - *nervously* “Umm Uncle Azarel maybe you shouldn’t.”
Lucifer - “Oh don’t worry Charlie I can handle this. Why don't you head on home and I will meet you when I'm done, okay?”
Charlie - *worriedly* “Um, okay…”
Zella - “Come, I’ll take you home so you won’t be alone.”
Charlie - *worriedly* “Okay, thanks Aunt Zella...*to Lucifer* Bye dad…”
The two walked out of the house to leave Lucifer and Azrael alone. Zella and Charlie got in the car.
Charlie - *worried* “Man, I hope Dad will be okay.”
Just then, Azrael's house flashed and glowed a really bright light as a loud roar was heard inside.
Zella - *worried* “Oh dear, it seems your uncle is upset, I fear.”
Charlie watched in worry as the house glowed from Azrael's fury.
End of Flashback
Hardy - *shocked* “Holy moly…”
Charlie - “Yeah…Ever since things between my Dad and Uncle Azarel gotten…tense. He doesn’t even trust my Dad to watch Sonya and Liz anymore by himself. They are only allowed to be watch by me and my mom. I mean they are allow to see my Dad, but only if me and my mom are there.
Sonya - “The tension between my Dad and Uncle Lucifer get worst around this time of year.”
Liz: We tried asking Dad if we could go trick or treating with Cuz and Uncle Luci this year, but…”
Sonya - “He had that glare.”
Liz - “The same glare he gave our uncle those years ago.”
Hardy - “Yeesh, talk about a grudge.”
Charlie - “Well it have been a while…Maybe they should let that go.”
Blitz - “I don’t think it’s that simple Charlie. Some can hold grudges for years.”
Charlie - “Well, I think that it's time that we get those two to make up. We just need a plan.”
Hardy - *thinks for a minute* “Hmmmm... Well, back at Mr. Chi's apartment, whenever the tenants get into an argument, he would always lock them both in a room until they make up.”
Angel - “Oh that could work *points out* If they weren't so darn powerful that they can blow the room up to kingdom come!”
Husk - “Can’t believe I’m saying this but Angel got a point. Those two motherfucker can blow up half of hell!”
Blitz - “Especially since they have Angelic powers.”
Hardy - “Well, what if we had some place that was enchanted? Some place that could dampen their powers? *lit lightbulb pops up over his head* Wait, that's it! I know just the right place!”
Charlie - “You do? Where?”
Hardy - “Not too long ago, I just got a call from a cilent about this old abandoned house that was made out of this holy wood stuff, and local legends say *playfully spooky tone* that the house is haunted by the unerased. *imatating ghost wooing*
Sophie - *trembles* “Haunted?! *flies into the back of Blitz's jacket and hides*
Angel - *raises eyebrow* “The unerased?”
Vaggie - *unamused tone* “Afterlife version of the undead.”
Angel - *sarcastically* “Rrrrrrriiiiiggghhhhttt.”
Sonya - *eyes winden* “I read that before! It can hold off any powers including ones like Uncle Lucifer’s and Dad.”
Liz - “Wait that shit is real? I just thought it was something from a made up story.”
Hardy - “And stories say that on Halloween night, the house gets filled with unerased sinners and hellborns roaming its hallways.”
Sophie - *tremble in fear* “You think they would come here?”
Blitz - *reassures* “Aw relax, sis. Everyone in Hell knows that there's no such thing as the Unerased.”
Blitz - “Beside Hardy is just joking around.”
Hardy - “Yeah, as I said, it's only local legend. However, the holy wood part is real, so we can use that to our advantage.”
Charlie - “What do you have plan?”
Hardy - “We lure Lucifer and Azrael into the house. We lock them inside. They talk over their issues. Make peace. We let them out. Then everything will be solved. Plus, as an added bonus, we can go ghost hunting for some fun. What do you guys think?”
Husk - “It’s a stupid idea. Then again, who the fuck listens to me?”
Hardy - *deadpan* “Okay that’s one. Who else?”
Niffty - *excited* “It would be fun to see two bad boys lock together!”
Vaggie - “Maybe it can work but it sound risky.”
Hardy - “Okay that’s also kind of another one. *to Charlie* “What do you think, Charlie?”
Charlie - *confident* “It could work! And their powers won’t cause them to do any damage to themselves. Plus, I'm actually curious about seeing that house myself. So it might actually make a good early Halloween adventure.”
Liz - *interested* “Ooh it actually does! Maybe we can even scare people.”
Sonya - “Yeah, and set up scary booby traps!”
Sophie - “And maybe some pictures too? But not too scary ones.”
Vaggie - “I don't see why not.”
Angel - “Sounds like fun, I could go for some good ol' Halloween scare pranks.”
Charlie - “Then it's settled, we're going to the haunted house!”
Sophie - “But make sure it’s not too scary!”
Hardy - *assuring* “Don’t worry Sophie. We promise it won’t be scary.”
Hardy - “Now, all we need is something to lure Lucifer and Azrael to the house, like... *turns to Charlie, Sonya, and Liz* Live bait.”
Everyone else turns their heads toward Charlie, Sonya, and Liz.
Sonya - *confused* “Uhh why look at us?”
Charlie - *realizes* “Oh, you want us to lure our dads to the house, am I right?”
Hardy - *nods* “Yep. It’s the only way.”
Charlie - “Okay, what do you need us to do?”
Hardy - “Here's the plan, gather around everyone.”
Everyone gathers in a football huddle as Hardy explains his plan.
()()()()()()()()
Later at night, the scene changes to the old haunted house that Hardy mentioned. The house was grey-colored and have creepy Heaven-based decor, like exorcist statues for gargoyles and a graveyard.
Husk - *impressed* “Have to admit: it doesn't look like trash.”
Hardy - “Okay guys, let's get this place set up with traps and scary stuff before Lucifer and Azrael come.”
All - “Right!”
Everyone picks up their things and start setting up the traps in the house. In a montage, everyone was busy at work in setting up the traps and the scares around the house before Lucifer and Azrael get here.
Within two hours, everything was set up and everyone was in their positions. Now they just need to wait.
Vaggie - *doubtful* “Are you sure this is gonna work? I mean not all brothers have a strong bond, you know?”
Hardy - “It has too. Brothers should be there for each other. Not hate each other and base what Charlie told me, Azarel is one of the few that Lucifer has left.”
Angel - *peeking through the window* “Here they come.”
Charlie and Lucifer were outside about to enter the house.
Charlie - “So Dad thanks for coming here.”
Lucifer - “Sure thing dear. *looks at the house* So this is the house that you were talking about?”
Charlie - “Yep! It’s so cool I wanted you to see it.”
Lucifer - “Uh-huh, and you're saying that it's "haunted"?”
Charlie - “Yeah! It is haunted with ghosts and stuff.”
Lucifer - *confused* “And you brought me here because...?”
Charlie - “I want to see it inside with you, so I don't get scared if there are ghosts in there.”
Lucifer - *shrugs* “Well I am the scariest thing alive so why not.”
Charlie - “Oh, and my cousins will be coming with us, and they will bring someone with us.”
Lucifer - “Oh? Um....*worriedly* who?”
Charlie - *assuring* “Don’t worry it’s somebody who’s harmless. *points her finger* Here they come now!”
Lucifer turns his head to where Charlie is pointing and he is not happy with who he sees with Sonya and Liz.
Lucifer - *annoyed* “Oh hello Azarel.”
Azrael - *deadpanned* “Lucifer…”
Sonya - *nervous* “Excited to be here?”
Azrael - *deadpanned* “Not really. I only came here because of my daughters.”
Charlie - “Don’t worry Uncle Azarel, it's gonna be fun!”
Azrael hummed in doubt. While Lucifer rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Sonya - “Come on, let's go and see what's inside.”
Liz - “Yeah! It will be something so cool.”
Sonya and Liz pulled their dad to the front door as Charlie and Lucifer followed them. Once they were at the door, it creepily creaked open. Lucifer and Azrael are the first to go in. But once they were inside, Charlie, Sonya, and Liz slammed the door behind them and locked them inside.
Lucifer - *shocked and confused* “Hey what the heck?!”
Azarel - “Let me out!!”
Lucifer tried to rip the door open, but it wouldn't budge. Then he tries to burn the door open with his fire powers, but he couldn't even light a tiny flare.
Lucifer - “What the hell is going on?! Is this a joke?”
Azrael - *studies the wood* “It's this house! It's made of holy wood.”
Lucifer - “What?! We need to get out of here!”
Azrael - “Well, we can't get out the way we came, so we'll need to find another way out. *annoyingly groans*”
Lucifer - *annoyed* “Oh this is just great!”
Azrael: - “Hey, I don't like it as much as you do.”
Just then, they hear something. Something ominous.
Azrael - “What was that?”
Lucifer - *nervously* “I have no idea.”
Just then something comes falling down the stairs... It was a skull. The Morningstar brothers look bored and uninterested.
Azarel - *unscared* “Eh. I seen skulls before.”
Lucifer - “I even have collections of these.”
But at the moment it landed on the ground, it instantly pops in front of their faces and made a horrible scream with bulging eyes. This definitely causes Lucifer and Azrael to be jumped. It even scared Lucifer to the point he jumped into Azarel’s arms.
Lucifer - *freaking out* “Okay this is freaking me out!”
Azrael - *struggling* “L-Luci, Will you g-get off of me?! You're heavy!”
Azrael drops Lucifer on the floor. Azarel wipes his hand as Lucifer groans and gets up.
Lucifer - “Come on we need to leave!”
Azrael: Yeah, no kidding!
()()()()()()()()
The two walked down the hall, trying to find another way out of the house. They walk through an eerily dim hallway.
Azarel - “What the hell is that?”
Lucifer - *nervous* “I don't know, but I ain't sticking around to find out.”
Suddenly, they started to hear creepy organ music. This causes Lucifer and Azrael to tremble.
Lucifer - “This isn’t even good music!”
Azrael - “Where is it even coming from?!”
Lucifer - “I don’t know but we seriously need to leave!”
Azrael - “Let's try the backdoor!”
Lucifer - “Alright!”
Azrael and Lucifer kept moving down the halls until they spotted something up ahead, or rather... someone. A shadowed figure was slowly approaching them.
Lucifer - “Who the fuck are you?!”
The shadowed figure didn't respond as it kept coming closer and closer until light shined to reveal itself. It was a walking corpse of a deceased imp!
Lucifer and Azrael - *simultaneously scream* AN UNERASED!!!
Lucifer and Azrael ran away in a comedic panic.
Azarel - *freaking out* “What kind of house is this?!
Lucifer - “Who cares?! Let's just the fuck outta here!”
Lucifer and Azrael see a window and thought about jumping through it. However, upon impact, they find the windows made of rubber as it bounces them back inside.
Lucifer - *panicking* “Oh why did we agree to come here?! We're trapped! Trapped like rats! *shouts in panic* WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!”
Azrael - *grabs Lucifer and shakes him like a ragdoll* Lucifer! Get a hold of yourself man! *slaps Lucifer silly to make him snap back to his senses*
Lucifer - *calming down* “Okay! Okay! I’m calm!”
Azarel slaps him again.
Lucifer - *annoyed* “I said I was calm!!”
Azarel - “Had to make sure. Now, if we're going to get out of this, we're going have to work together. So let's find something to defend ourselves with.”
Lucifer - *looks around* “Well maybe there are some old weapons in here.”
Azrael - “We'll need to improvise.”
Azrael looks around and finds a chair, so he takes it as a weapon.
Lucifer - *deadpanned* “Really? A chair?”
Azarel - “You got a better idea?”
Lucifer looks around and finds a fireplace poker.
Lucifer - *smug* “This those!”
Azarel rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Azarel - “That’s right: Lucifer Morningstar the Idea Guy! Too bad he doesn’t think about how his ideas affect people.”
Lucifer - *points the poker at Azrael's face* “Was that an insult?!”
Azrael - *pushes the poker* “Just watch my back while I watch yours.”
Azrael and Lucifer stand back to back. Making sure to face any monster that comes in their way.
Lucifer - “Okay so if we're gonna get out of here alive, we gotta make sure to fight back whatever is in here.”
Azarel - “For once your idea sounds logical and makes sense.”
Lucifer - *annoyed tone* “Ignoring that. *normal tone* Any ideas on which way we should go next?”
Azrael - “Let's try upstairs.”
Lucifer - “Alright upstairs it is.”
While standing back to back, Lucifer and Azrael go upstairs to see if they can find another way out of the house. So far, they haven’t found any luck yet.
Azarel - *grumpy* “I can’t believe out of all week it's gotta happen on this stupid Halloween week.”
Lucifer - *offended* “Hey there’s nothing stupid about this holiday!”
Azarel - *scoff* “You really forgot about what happened, did you?”
Lucifer - *upset* You're still hung up about that?! I said that I was sorry! I didn’t know Sonya was allergic to peanuts!”
Azrael - “Well, you should have! It was written on that paper of rules that I gave you! And don't give me that "rules are meant to be broken" crap!”
Lucifer - “Well some rules are! They are stupid and unfair.”
Azarel - “And it’s just that. You truly forgot, haven't you? The day you were forced to leave heaven? With Lilith?”
Lucifer - *angry* “Don't you DARE bring that up!”
Azarel - *mad*! “Well I am! You seem to have forgotten who it affects!”
Lucifer - “Well duh! Lilith and I got kicked out!”
Azarel - “Along with other people! Have you forgotten how it affected me?!”
Lucifer - “Hey, I gave you a chance to walk away, but you stuck by me in the end! That's on you, not me!”
Azarel - “But the problem with you is that you don’t care nor think how your actions affect other people! You believe you can do whatever you want and not care!”
Lucifer - “Well why did you get stuck by me then?!”
Azarel - “Cause you’re my little brother you idiot! I couldn’t stand by and abandon you or ignore you like the elders did.”
Lucifer paused from that comment. He never realized how much Azarel cared about him. Azarel took a deep breath and said:
Azarel - “You may be an annoying pain in the ass, but you’re still my brother. I can’t abandon you like that. You know how it badly hurt me that the other angels would talk shit about you with Lilith or act like you don’t exist?”
Lucifer - *pauses* “I...I had no idea.”
Azarel - *feeling down* “Well…Sometimes it not easy to talk about.”
Lucifer - *sighs* “I'm sorry, bro. It's just that... I thought that giving humanity freewill would be a good thing and that the elders would start listening to my ideas and take me seriously, instead of just seeing me as some troublemaker.”
Azrael - “I listen to you, Lucifer. Sometimes you make good ideas, and sometimes they're too dangerous. I personally think that it's a good idea to give humanity free will, but they weren't ready yet for such a thing. They needed time before having such a thing. We may have created Adam and Lillith as adults in the beginning, but they are still technically young. They were still learning things.”
Lucifer - “That’s true…I just feel like they needed free will because having too many rules isn’t much freedom. Plus you would get bored if you have to follow rules by rules. It would be like losing who you truly are.”
Azrael - “That maybe so, but they were important for many things such as their safety, their growth, and so on. Plus, many of them were just temporary. It's not like we were going to keep those so many rules up forever.”
Lucifer - “But heaven was so strict and never listens! They even rejected my daughter's ideas on the hotel!”
Azrael - “I admit, they are stubborn and tend to take things too seriously. But that doesn't mean that they don't care. I mean, they have so much responsibility and duties that they need to uphold. They're not as carefree or free-spirited as you are, Lucifer. I get that strict-like ways can be overbearing, but in their defense, they need to be for our father. Our father gave the elders this responsibility as he far too busy with his far more important duties, such as creating new life and upholding the rights of existence. Without him, everything would eventually crumble to nothingness. That includes us and our families. *sighs* Plus, if it's any consolation, I can actually relate to you, Luci. The elders don't listen to me at times either.”
Lucifer - *surprised* “They didn’t listen to you either? But you’re one of the golden child! They like you better than me. Then again they liked everybody else better than me.”
Azarel - “Well I do agree the rules are needed, some of them did seem unfair. There were even times that I wished to give mortals another chance at their lives. That I wanted to let them live longer and cherish it. But it was against my position to do such a thing. Doing something like that would have put me and my family in an even worse position than I am currently in as a semi-fallen angel. The elders would have picked someone irresponsible and heartless like Adam. Such a thing would have made things worse for your kingdom. I couldn't risk it. Not to my family.”
Lucifer - *sighs* “I know. I tried so hard to see the good in my people like Charlie does. I don’t know how she does it but heaven didn’t listen to me about reforming some sinners cause how the rule of earth changed overtime. I didn’t want my family to get hurt.”
Azrael - “Neither did I, brother. Our generation was garbage, that we both can agree. But we should have faith that our children will make a difference. The future rests on their hands and we need to support their choices, both for their happiness and for everyone.”
Lucifer - *smiles* “We can do it together…Brother.”
They both hugged each other but then they heard clapping. Lucifer and Azrael turned around to see Hardy come out of the shadows, clapping at them. Then, everyone starts coming out of their hiding spots and clapping at them, including Charlie, Sonya, and Liz, who managed to get into the house without Lucifer and Azrael's knowledge.
Lucifer - *confused* “What? What the hell is going on?”
Hardy - “It's about time you two made up. I was starting to think that we needed to bring out the big guns.”
Azrael - “Big guns? What are you talking about? Can someone please explain to us what is going on here?”
Charlie - *smile and nods* “Glady. I told Hardy about how you and Dad are always tense. Especially during this time of year.``
Hardy - “And I figured you need something to make you guys talk and make with each other.”
Sonya - “So we set up this whole haunted house to have you two make up. And hoping it can change your mind on letting me and Liz go trick or treating with uncle Lucifer and cousin Charlie.”
Lucifer - “You mean this whole thing was a prank to get us to reconcile?”
Liz - “If you wanna put it like that yeah.”
Lucifer and Azrael made unamused expressions for a moment, but then they both started to laugh together.
Lucifer - *laughing* “I’ll admit that was a good prank!”
Liz - “So, no hard feelings, dad?”
Azarel - *shakes his head* “Nah sweetie. If anything it helps me recoil to Lucifer.”
Sonya - “So... Does that mean we can go trick or treating?”
Azrael - *thinks* “Hmmmm...... Okay, I don't see why not.”
Sonya and Liz - *simultaneously pump their fists* “Yes! We better get our costume and-“
Azrael - “But on one condition from you two. *smiles* I get to decide what costumes you two are wearing.”
Sonya - “Really? What kind of costume?”
Azrael smiles mischievously.

It shows Sonya and Liz wearing pink fluffy bunny costumes with grumpy looks on their faces. Angel couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Liz - *grumbles to Angel* “Shut it.”
Charlie - *cooing* “Aw you guys look adorable!!”
Sonya - *grumbles* “I'm starting to think that I don't want to go trick or treating this year.”
Azrael - *smiles* “Too late girls, a deal is a deal!” *snickers*
Angel was snapping pictures of Sonya and Liz in their Halloween costumes. He was laughing as he was doing it.
Angel - *chuckles* “Wait until Cherri sees this!!”
Liz - *angrily* “Angel, you better not send those!”
Angel - *playfully* “Alright you wasically wabbits”
Liz growls as her face turned red from both anger and humiliation. Charlie couldn’t help but giggle.
Lucifer - *slyly smiles at Charlie* “You know, Charlie? I was thinking that I should pick your costume for Halloween too.”
Charlie - *pleads* Please not the rubber duck mascot costume! The thing always gets me stuck between the doors!”
Lucifer - “But you look so adorable!”
Charlie - “Uhh can I choose something else?”
Lucifer - “Well, there's always…”
Lucifer leans to Charlie's ear and whispers. What he says caused Charlie's face to turn red as she freaked out.
Charlie - *freaks out* “No! No! Not that! Anything but that! I'll do the duck costume! Just anything but that one!”
Hardy - *curious* “What’s the other one?”
Lucifer - “It's quite the outfit, you see--“
Charlie frantically covers her father's mouth in embarrassment.
Charlie - *begging* “Don't tell them, dad! Pleeeeaasseee! I’ll do anything! I’ll even clean your room and you hate doing that.”
Lucifer - *smiles* “Really? Even organize my rubber duck collection?”
Charlie - *frantic* “Yes! I’ll do that for you for a month if you don’t tell.”
Lucifer - “Okay. *makes a zip lip expression*
Charlie - *sighs in relief* “Thank you…*joy* Now let's enjoy some Halloween!”
Everyone gets ready for Halloween, especially Sonya and Liz, despite having to wear such embarassing costumes. All in all, they're just glad that their dad and uncle finally made up after so long.
The End.
