Into The Devildom

"What makes you think I'm not" *winks*

"Ball gowns?" I hear a familiar voice behind me. I turn to see Elger holding up one of the leather strap dresses. Luke tenses beside me and steps slightly in front of me, trying to shield me from view.

"Elger! Hey! That would look amazing on you." I nudge Luke aside and bounce over to her. She beams at me and shoots Luke a weird look.

"I know right! I think it would look better on you." She looks me up and down while I blush.

"I'm not sure I have the right physique for that little number. You on the other hand, mmm." I look at her honey-coloured skin and slightly muscular body. Not normally my cup of tea but she is definitely a looker. The teeth still leave me shuddering though.

"I think you could pull anything off." She gives me a smirk and I blush again. Luke is practically vibrating beside me. He does not like demons by the looks. "Did you say something about ball gowns?"

"Ah yeah. I need to find some ball gowns for me and the girls. Can you help?" I get excited and start to bounce on my heels at the thought of actually completing my task.

Luke clicks his tongue. "We don't need help, Jess. I'm sure we can find it on our own." He grabs my arm and tries to pull me away.

"Wait!" Elger snakes out her hand and grips my upper arm. "You're in the wrong store for real formal wear, I can show you if you like."

I raise an eyebrow at Luke who frowns before sighing. I shake off both their hands and turn and smile at Elger. "That would be amazing! Thanks."

She gives me a warm smile and heads to the checkout to buy the leather straps pretending to be a dress. Luke leans down and whispers in my ear. "I don't think we can trust her."

I flap my hands in his face to move him away. "Dude, it's fine man. She's cool." He frowns at me and opens his mouth to speak. I cut him off. "Seriously, we have texted a couple of times and the worst thing I think she is doing is trying to get closer to Beel through me. I have no idea why she would think that would work but, hey! A friend is a friend."

Luke gives me a bit of a side-eye. "I still don't like it." Elger waves at us to follow her as she finishes up with her purchase. I skip on over and Luke follows along like a sullen puppy.

Three streets over and a very quick walk, damn these long-legged beings, and we are in a fancy-looking store with gorgeous ball gowns everywhere. My head is on a swivel looking at the overload of tulle, lace and chiffon. It's a bloody rainbow in here. If there is a colour it's here in dress form.

I rush to the nearest rack and start flipping through dresses. Elger hovers on my left while Luke hovers on my right. Looks like they aren't going to be much help. I feel like I have an angel and a demon on my shoulder. I let out a little chuckle, I kinda do.

It takes me an hour to find the four perfect dresses. I can't wait to show the girls, I really, really, really hope they like them. I try not to look at the number that pops up when we ring up the dresses. That is far too many numbers! Thank the lord ruler himself that Diavolo seems to have endless pockets.

I am immediately grateful that Elger stuck around when she picks up two of the dresses and says she will help carry them. Ball gowns are heavy man! I reach to pick up one of the others but am brushed aside as Luke picks the remaining two up. Well, saves my arms. I send a quick message in the group chat to see who has eyes on Benji.

Operation Benji:

Jess: anyone have eyes on the package?

Kohdor: what package?

Jesse: she means does anyone have eyes on Benji

Nixie: of course thats what she means, duh KD
