Fame Crazy (Sequel to Strings Attached)

Chapter 25

"What is it?" Claire asks, clearly expecting it to be stupid.

"According to all known laws of aviation —"

"No!" Castiel interrupts. "No, Luce, you're not doing that to Claire. She doesn't deserve it."

"But doesn't she deserve to know that bees shouldn't be able to fly?" Lucifer asks. "Their wings are too small to lift their fat little bodies off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don't care what humans think is impossible."

"Is that the Bee Movie?" Claire asks.

"Yeah," Lucifer replies.

"Trust me, it gets worse," Castiel warns.

"Does it? Never seen it."

"After this, you'll never want to see it."

"But yellow black, yellow black, yellow black. Ooh, black and yellow. Let's shake it up a little!"

Castiel groans. This is going to be a long hour or so.

Anna walks through the kitchen, likely to talk to someone, but stops when she hears Lucifer reciting Bee Movie. She walks over to the front door and calls over her shoulder, "I'm going out with friends, don't wait up!" before leaving. Lucky her. If only they all got an easy escape.

"... Honey's pretty important to me. It's important to all bees. We make it. We invented it."

Samandriel walks into the kitchen after what feels like forever of Lucifer reciting Bee Movie. After Claire announced she had never seen Bee Movie, Lucifer decided he had to recite the entire thing, mimicking the voices as close to perfect as he can, quite possibly making this the best performance he's ever done for the Novaks. Samandriel just groans in exasperation when he hears it.

"Seriously, Lucifer? Seriously?"

"What?" Lucifer asks defensively.

"You're going to be the reason Claire leaves," Samandriel tells him.

"I'm actually really enjoying this," Claire announces.

"Thank you!" Lucifer exclaims. "Finally, someone who appreciates the art of Bee Movie!"

"I don't think it's the Bee Movie she appreciates," Samandriel smirks. "I think it's you."

"Shut up," Claire replies, not in a rude way but not happy, either.

"That's a 'yes,' then?" Samandriel guesses.

"No way!"

"I think the lady doth protest too much."

Claire and Lucifer both give him a blank stare, earning a slight laugh from the two educated Novaks in the room.

"This is, like, one of the most famous —"

"Lines from The Lego Movie," Gabriel finishes. "Come on, guys. You should know this."

"That's not in The Lego Movie," Lucifer says, confused.

"How would you know?" Gabriel challenges playfully.

"Because I know the whole Lego Movie script, and that's not part of it."

Castiel, Gabriel, and Samandriel all facepalm simultaneously, but Claire just laughs.

"You're not half bad," she tells him, an amused grin on her face.
