Chapter 2: Connected

Start from the beginning
                                        

You looked at the jester, who just smiled happily, nodding. You took a deep breath, leaping off the ring and to the other one. Your instincts kicked in, you opened your wings, flapping them, you ungracefully landed on the ring, sitting down on it, Fizzarolli laughed.

"Why did you do that?"

"My instincts, I lived in the clouds, not opening your wings is a death wish...well...I don't know if you can die in heaven...more like a broken bone wish." You trailed off thinking, Fizzarolli laughed loudly, snapping you out of your thoughts.

"Alright, we'll work on that." He laughed again "Sit in the stands and watch me."

You flew over to the wooden stands, sitting in the first stand, Fizzarolli took a deep breath snapping his fingers. The lights went out, and a purple light shined on Fizzarolli. He leaned backward, using his legs to hold onto the ring, he swing back and forth, grabbing the other ring, somehow the spotlight followed his movements, you would have turned to look at the source of the spotlight, but Fizzarolli's movements kept you hypnotized.

Fizzarolli was lost in his thoughts, allowing his body to take control, he swing from ring to ring, spinning and leaping, diving and pulling himself up, he was gracefully, he knew what he was doing without thinking about it, he smiled and laughed, allowing his long cap to spin behind him, his bells jingled in rhythm. Your thoughts were gone as well, your eyes followed Fizzarolli, laughing with him.

He dropped to the ground after a while, his laughter died down, he turned to you, smiling as you clapped for him.

"That was amazing!"

"It was nothing special just some simple acrobatics, if I really wanted to do that here, I would add so much more." He sneered at the word "here", which confused you, this was his park right?

"Well, for the rest of the day I can show you some tricks, but I don't think you'll be ready for tommorow's grand opening!" He announced dramatically, you laughed.

"For what?" You asked.

"This is the first time I'll be opening up the tent again, this area, which means the entire park will open up, hopefully a certain someone...doesn't come back." Fizzarolli snapped, this was the first time you've seen him angry, it felt weird....almost like he didn't have this emotion, but you've only known him for a day.

"So I'm going to be a main attraction? Like jokes and tricks...I'm not good at any of that!" You exclaimed.

"Calm down, you being down here is enough to stir up people, everyone will want to see, demons from every circle will come here to see a real Angel, it's a once in an extermination experience!"

"So what do I have to do? Just...stand there?"

"Pretty much, open your wings and show everyone what you are: An angel!"

"And after that...you'll help me get out of here? Back to heaven where I belong."

"Yep...that's the deal."

"What!?" You flapped your wings in terror.

"Hey!" He grabbed both your wings, holding them still. "I meant... promise, we didn't shake hands so it's not a deal, you know what I mean, I didn't know angel's were so afraid of a simple deal."

"We were always told to never make a deal with a demon, no matter how desperate we are."

"Well lucky for you, whoever told you that knows nothing about Hell!" He happily shouted laughing afterward "Only overlord deals matter, and I'm not an overlord, overlords are people who represent the Seven sins, Lucifer being an exception. Another exception are just really rich or powerful people. If you were to shake my hand right now nothing would happen, I can assure you."

"Good to know..." You smiled at him, he giggled again, heading over to the rings again.

"Ready?"

You and Fizzarolli spent the rest of the day practicing tossing each other to the rings and flopped and flying around, you kept opening your wings and flying when you didn't feel comfortable with landing, Fizzarolli said he will fix that problem tommorow.

"You did better than I thought you would, especially for your first time." He dropped to the ground, you yawned.

"Tired already? You haven't even eaten." Fizzarolli laughed, he laughs a lot.

"I'm not hungry." You waved him off, already heading back to the dressing room, you were stopped by an arm wrapping around your waist, dragging you back to Fizzarolli.

"Yes you are? Why are you so superstitious of everything down here?" Fizzarolli let go of your waist, but moved in between you and the doorway to the dressing room.

"We were told we can't eat anything in Hell, or we'll be trapped down here forever."

Fizzarolli burst out laughing, holding his head.

"Ok, at least I've heard of this fools tale, that's not true at all, whoever told you that lied, unless the food had some sort of magic on it, which none in the park does sense all the Imps are trapped down here anyway."

He left the tent quickly, coming back with a bowl of popcorn and cotton candy, he handed them both to you.

"If you're thirsty, there's a soda machine outside, don't worry about paying, sense you're staying here."

"I don't think I have any of your currency anyway." You laughed

"Thank you...for everything." You said to Fizzarolli, he laughed again.

"No problem, be ready for tomorrow." He said, walking out of the tent.

You yawned again, walking to the dressing room, you sat at the desk, a picture of a different looking Fizzarolli was hung on the mirror, he was most likely the robo Fizzarolli he mentioned before, you calmly ate your popcorn leaving the cotton candy for later.

You felt something tug on you finger, you thought it was nothing until you felt another tug, you glanced down to see what it was. A simple thing red string was tied to your finger, you lifted your hand up...no...it was ATTACHED to your finger, you tried to pull it off, then looked around for scissors to see if you could cut it off. You decided to follow the string when you couldn't find any, it led out the door and to the stage, after following it out front, you spotted Fizzarolli walking back inside as well, the red string was also attached to his finger, both of you made eye contact.

"What is this?"
