A few years back before IMP.

It would be around this time two years since Moxxie finished up College at this point. Along with his Flaw being around for a while at the cafe and began. The website doing well at this time.

"Pouring outside." Ivy commented as the pair watch the rain. A few customers here and there staying inside the café to let it passed. Moxxie came by to visit, on his day off, and do a bit of work.

"Mhm." Moxxie glance out the window watching a few walking in the pouring rain. Look back at his notebook as he writes. In a different language if someone rude looks over. Small sips of his drink. "Going to keep it open a bit longer."

"I might for the generous of my heart as long they buy." She chuckles and goes to the counter when the door open.

The glasses wearing imp glance back down at his work. Idea to do a third plush with an axelot with a bit of a hellish charm. Yet, still look cute. Wrote down a few notes. Write and hears footsteps approach him.

"E-excuse me?"

He stop.

Was it surprise to hear a young voice? Or someone actually saying excuse me. He glance and his eyes go up to look at the figure. She was wearing a black hoodie with a small red and pink heart design on the right. A pair of black pants. The hoodie was brought over her head. See part of her face that was pale, two red dots on the side, black lips, wisp of blond hair and red eyes. She was drenched from the rain and the hoodie cling to her. Not one meant for this weather. But it was the ruby red eyes that got him. Tired, probably been crying.

Yet, had a smile on her face.

"D-Do you mind I sit here? I won't bother you! Um just everything else taken up." The girl asked and was holding her drink.

He glance and see that in fact the café did seem filled up. Then back at the girl. He motion her to sit.

Her smile widen slightly and sits down. "Thank you."

He shrugged and went back to work. Kept his legs and tail closer to his side. He doesn't think she'll do anything. Even if it was Hell. Just can never be sure. Look back up and see her head down. A small body shiver. Get up and leave his stuff.

Few minutes later.

The girl blinked when she was handed a hoodie and t-shirt. Along with a bag.

"Go change in the restroom. If they don't fit it can be changed out."

"H-Huh?"

"You're shivering. Either go change or get a cold the next day." Moxxie still holding the outfit towards her.

"Y-You're being ni-nice."

Moxxie eyebrow raise up slightly as he sees her pupil changed to stars. Oh gosh don't be like Blue. "Go change and don't hug me."

"H-huh? How you know?"

"I rather not say."

"Oh."

Few minutes later the girl came back out. She was wearing a dark blue hoodie with a crescent moon on her right side. A small sheep can be seen jumping over it. Sheep around the ends of the sleeves and jumping. The hoodie was still up but her face seem brighter. Held the bag with the drenched hoodie and shirt.

"How you feel?"

"Better! This is so warm and cute! The little sheepies are adorable!" She hugged herself with the hoodie.

He watch her with a neutral expression. Besides the eyebrow rose up. Glance and notice how certain customers looked annoyed being interrupted and grumbling about the loudness. Roll his eyes at them. Look over to see Ivy look amused as well and sent small glares at anyone else.

"I need to pay-"

"Don't." Moxxie shakes his head. "Just don't worry about it."

The girl just looked so in awe and shock. Eye going bigger. Then finally sit down and took a sip of her drink.

Close his eyes and go back to his work. Now and then stopping to take a sip of his own drink or a cake. Look up once to see her own her phone. Eye turn sadden slightly looking at the screen. Knows a look like that too well. Just depends on the situations.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Can't promise I'll answer it or if you like the answers. But go ahead." He said while he still look back at this drawing.

"Would you give up your dreams if you know it'll be hard at first? If you knew many will knock you down. If you know and scared what your family will think of you." The girl said while looking at her phone. Like she had these thoughts in her head for a long time. Just scare to talk about them. Or have parts and been judged. Laughed at. Disrespected her.

"Depends on the dream." Move the pencil around. "Any dream going to be hard no matter what. Which could be good. Or could be bad. You can try and see if it truly what you want. But others around are going to pull you down. Or if they think your dream full of junk and step away. Or making you want to give up because it not worth it. Or they aren't listening you even if you try hard to show them what you are trying to do."

The figure blink and head down a little. How close that was hitting home.

"But then the dream worth it when you showed them you did it. Hard work does pay off. Even if many don't see it at first. Especially, down here. But it's also good that you try the dream. If it goes well great. If it doesn't well you at least tried. Better to try at first. You may give up on it and try something new. Or you get back up and show them you're not letting this drag your ass down." Tap the notebook. "Dreams are great but seeing them in reality better."

"Did you have a dream?"

"Hmm many until they stopped." Eyes look down at the piece of work he was doing. "Didn't think I would dream again. Still, doesn't feel it at times but it showing. Little steps you got to take and keeping walking. Even as you reach the goal."

"Did you family agreed to it?"

Moxxie stop to think about that and smile. "Yes, at times. It does scare me to think my eyes could open up. That they don't agreed with me. Even though she been there for me thick and thin. The first one too. She... She too good and I don't deserve her."

The red eye girl smile a bit hearing that. Eyes lowered down. "I feel like I could be disappointment if me family learn of my dream."

"Disappointment scary in many ways. But being unhappy and not you is worse." Wave his pencil around. "I still have a lot of issues but I'm happier than I ever was. Even stupid junk being thrown around. You're young. Sinner or Hellborn. Doesn't matter. Give it a shot but don't rush it. Got many years, probably forever, if you stay alive."

She stared at him a long time.

"Unless your dream to be a killer. Or assassin. Well, don't have too much to say for that. But be careful. Extra alert. Hide a weapon or too inside your clothes. If it revenge mess well that a whole mental and emotional topic I'm not getting in eve-"

"Can I hug you?"

He stop and looked back at her. She was smiling but crying. Not heavy or crazy. But one or two tears sliding down. Look at her for a long time and sigh. "Not too long or fast."

The girl jump out of her seat and hugged the Imp in the chair.

Moxxie wince a bit and bit back the inside of his cheeks to not scream. He not being attack. Just a hug like he will only do with select view. Glance over and see Ivy had a confused look. Motion the girl. Give a shaky dismissive wave. Then he awkwardly hug the girl back.

"Thank you." She whispered and press her face to his shoulder. "You're the second person to listen and actually talk to me about it. Even though you may find my dream ridiculous if I told you. But you still talk to me."

'Um what is your dream?"

"A place where sinners can be happy. To have a chance."

He was not expecting that at all.

"Do you think it ridiculous?"

Moxxie was silent for a while till he answered her. "I think if you do that from the limited information you're telling me. You should be careful. Many chances were given to them alive of their choices. But one chance to live that life. A few may have one more chance and probably found some happiness in this life. Death. Or content in some way if possible." Eyes darken slightly. "But I don't believe everyone deserved to have that kind of chance. There are some cruel beings down here that you shouldn't be around. Even if you want to help them. Many who should disappeared forever. But that's my opinion."

"Thank you."

Moxxie blinked a bit and eyes slightly curious. What an odd girl?

"Hey it stop raining."

He look to the side and see it did indeed. Let's go of the girl as he was getting a bit shaken. "Indeed."

She smile looking outside and back to him. "I need to go but thank you!"

"It's um nothing."  Jeez she has a genuine smile you don't see a lot have around here.

"Your sweet and great listener."

"Don't push it on the sweetness."

She giggles and finished the rest of her drink. Look back at her phone and let out an eep. "Oh no! I got to go! My folks going to kill me."

"Know that feeling."

"Bye I really appreciate this! Have a tremendous, happy day!" She then ran out the café fast.

"Strange marionette." Moxxie muttered to himself as he look outside.

"What was that about?" Ivy asked as she walks up to him.

"Just talking." Finish the last of his cake. "Seems like many don't listen to her."

"Oh? So, you became a listener?"

Moxxie rolled his eyes at the smirking woman.

"So, what she asked?"

Moxxie look back at his book of a dress he was working on. "She asked if a dream can be real."

Few years later.

"We can turn them 'round!
They'll be heaven-bound!
With just a little time down at the !"

Moxxie looks at his phone as he stared at the video that been around awhile now. The young blonde woman demoness singing and dancing around. Many views, dislikes yet still being watched. Eyes narrow at a few new disgusting comments to be delated later.

"What you watching?"

Moxxie glance to see Striker sitting down by him at the meeting room. "Just something the Marinette was saying on the news."

"Marinette?" He glance at his phone and snort. "Oh the Princess. I remember I saw that. Surprised her old man let her get away with that."

"Or ignoring her." Look through the comments and remarks. "That's probably worse."

"I suppose even with an idea like this. Redemption."

"Hmm."

"Wait?" He look at him. His spiral eyes widen a bit. "You don't believe in that nonsense? Do you?"

"I think we should just wait and see for any future results. Hell is full of surprises. If it doesn't work then too bad. Not many deserve it. But if she wants to try. Then let her give it a shot. It's the thought that counts."

"You're one strange Critter. We would be considered an enemy to her hotel. Just bringing extra 'poor' souls down here faster."

"We don't judge who we kill. Don't give me that look. At least try not too. Just like they can't judge either. Let's just hope both sides don't crash."

"We be shut down in a two days."

"Oh please knowing sir he probably form back up plans."

"Were doomed."

"You are. I have my own backup plans."

"Oh? Not going to let me join along? I thought we were friends my roommate."

"Millie still pissed you move her stuff to your apartment and try to take over her room."

"Free space."

"Apartment not free."

"Dense ass Critter."

"Go choke on a rat Rattle."

Done!

We got to see a little flashback on how Moxxie met Charlie! What you think of their interaction?

Moxxie/Error mind is very in between about the Redemption idea. But doesn't mean he wouldn't mind being proven wrong. But he truly doesn't think everyone deserve it.

Striker pulled that stunt. On all days April Fools days. He was enraged everyone thought it was a joke. Besides Millie when she had to move everything back. Along with forcing Striker to help.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
