Chapter Text
Vaggie could have sworn she smelled blueberry pancakes, but she didn’t want to leave the bed. She slowly opened her left eye and looked towards her nightstand. There they were blueberry pancakes and a cute little note made by her Princesa. She got up to sit on her bed, she grabbed her letter and opened it.
“Hi Vaggie, our 4th anniversary is tomorrow, so expect a whole lot of blueberry pancakes coming your way! Hugs and kisses, I love you! - Charlie”
Oh yeah, it’s tomorrow. She was so tempted to one up her, but she knew that Charlie would try to outdo her even more, so it was probably a good idea to not do that. She still couldn’t but smile at her hermosa being all affectionate.
She was heading down the stairs readjusting her bowtie, it was always a hassle when Charlie wasn’t around to help.
“ Hiiiiiii!”
“Oh geez!”
“Did you like the pancakes?”
She could Charlie jumping with joy. “Yes, Carino. I did.” She put her hand on Charlies’ face. “Thank you Sweetums.”
Charlie squeaked, seeing vaggie smile made her smile.
“Whoa, what is up with you two love birds?”
Vaggie and Charlie turned their heads towards the bar, there was Angel dust and Husk. Husk was cleaning a bottle, while angel dust was taking a sip of a bellini.
“ Our Anniversary is tomorrow.”
“Wait, How long have you two been dating?” He asked with genuine curiosity.
“Tomorrow, it will be 4 years.”
“Well.” Husk raised a class to the couple. “Hats to you.”
“ Awww, thank you, Husk.”
“Ah, young love. When everyone is off the cob and in love.” Alastor stated from the top of the stairs, propping up his head.
“Nah, we are saving all the lovey Dovey stuff for the day itself. And you saying stuff like that is not going to ruin my mood, sorry Alastor.” Retorted Vaggie.
Alastor couldn’t help but smirk, well as much as he could while in a constant grin. Seeing Vaggie not grumpy was definitely a first for him, that’s for sure.
“I’m thinking about doing some shopping, would you guys like me to get anything?”
“Vaggie? Helping other people? And in a good mood? Are you sure you didn’t drug her breakfast, Charlie?” Angel was a little surprised by this new “Vaggie”, but he understood that certain days mean a lot to certain people.
Charlie responded with a dramatic gasp, clutching her invisible pearls. “I would never! And it was her favorite breakfast food, thank you very much!”
She chuckled at her girlfriend acting like a ruffled chicken. “But in all seriousness, do you need me to get anything?”
Husk was the first one to reply “If possible, can you hit an alcohol shop? I’m starting to run low on alcohol options.”
“Oh! Oh! Can you get me a new fly swatter?” Popped up Nifty behind husk, making husk jump for a split second. “My old fly swatter broke during the previous attack of the flies.” She let out a sly chuckle; “And now i need a new one.”
“Okay noted.” She turned to Charlie, and whispered “When did we give nifty a fly swatter?”
Charlie let out an “iunno” sound.
Vaggie started to head out the door with bags in tow when Charlie remembered something. “OH!”
“Yes?”
“You might need to bring an umbrella; I've heard that we are going to have acid rain sometime today.”
“I appreciate the thought, but I should be home by then.”
"Then can I come with at least?”
Vaggie turned her head away and smirked.
“ Ooooohhhhh, you have a surprise for me in store, don’t you?”
“Yes, but I also know how to take care of myself. You know that right?”
“I know, but I'm your girlfriend, it is my job to worry.”
She gave Charlie a kiss on her forehead. “I appreciate it.”
“But besides the surprise, would you like me to get anything for you?”
“Hhmm… More blueberries?”
“Alright, but no promises.”
“Hehe, see you later!”
“See you later sweetie.”
Charlie closed the door behind her. Vaggie put her hand in her pocket to grab a 2000’s iPod. Charlie got that for her on their 2nd anniversary, it was one of her favorite gifts, along with the eyepatch. She put one ear pod in her left ear. And pressed play on the iPod.
A couple hours had passed. She had been to the Liquor store, a grocery store, and a hardware store to get all of the things she needed, granted she had one more store or two to go, but in all honesty, not too bad of a run. She was able to find what she wanted to give Charlie as a surprise gift, luckily it was small enough to fit it in her pocket. She was feeling pretty good.
Clatter!
“The f*ck?” She turned towards the alleyway on her right. This was something straight out of a horror movie. She was smarter than this, she knows better than this, but a small part of her was still curious. “No, this is how people get killed, vaggie, you know better.” The clattering still kept going. “Do I at the very least have a weapon?” She thought to herself. She reached towards her left side; her portable spear was there. Okay, good. She slowly creeped towards the noise, she was on her guard, she was prepared for anything that came her way.
“Adam??”
