A pick me girl shows up to the hotel and everything falls apart and everyone hated the pick me girl and vaggie knowing having charlie picking that girl who causes trouble was a bad idea
The lobby of the Hazbin Hotel was usually chaotic, but today, it was a special brand of insufferable. Her name was Cherry-Blossom—at least, that’s what she insisted everyone call her. She had bounced into the hotel an hour ago, wearing an oversized hoodie that she constantly pulled over her hands while giggling, "Oh my gosh, I’m so clumsy! I just don't get along with other girls, they're so much drama. I’m just like, one of the guys, you know?" So far, she had managed to insult Angel Dust’s style, tell Niffty that cleaning was "trad-wife behavior," and giggle right into Alastor’s face, claiming his radio voice was "totally trying too hard." Vaggie stood near the front desk, her fist clenched so tightly around her spear that her knuckles were white. She glared across the room at Charlie, who was currently clapping her hands with forced optimism. "I knew it," Vaggie muttered under her breath. "I told her this was a bad idea." "Oh, come on, Vaggie!" Charlie whispered frantically, pulling her girlfriend aside. "She just needs a little guidance! Underneath all that... whatever that is, there's a soul waiting to be redeemed!" "Charlie, she just told Husk that beer is 'a total pick-me drink' and asked if he had any organic kombucha," Vaggie said, her voice dripping with venom. "Everything is falling apart. Angel is about to shoot her, Husk is refusing to serve her, and Alastor is looking up recipes that involve her thighs. Everyone hates her!" "Hey, boys!" Cherry-Blossom called out, flipping her hair and intentionally tripping over a perfectly flat rug. "Oopsie! I'm such a klutz. Can someone help a helpless little thing like me?" Nobody moved. Angel Dust loudly sucked on a popsicle, staring at her with dead eyes. The suffocating tension in the room was suddenly shattered when the heavy front doors of the hotel didn't just open—they were blown off their hinges. A wave of pure, suffocating demonic energy flooded the lobby. The temperature dropped instantly. The playful, annoying atmosphere Cherry-Blossom had created evaporated, replaced by an instinctual, primal terror. Standing in the shattered doorway was a 17-year-old boy. He had pale skin, stark blue hair woven into a neat, tight braid, and eyes that glowed an intense, piercing pink. He was trembling, not out of fear, but out of a volatile, vibrating rage. This was Leo. Despite his youth, his aura carried the weight of a tyrant; he was widely whispered about in the deepest rifts of the dynamic as the single scariest prince of Hell of all time. He was in the middle of a massive PTSD flashback, triggered by something out on the pentagram streets, and his anger issues were manifesting as a physical storm of dark magic swirling around him. "Stay away..." Leo growled, his voice echoing with a terrifying, layered demonic distortion that made even Alastor’s smile twitch. "Don't look at me!" Charlie didn't see a threat. She saw a broken, hurting teenager. "Oh, you poor thing..." she breathed, instantly moving toward him with her hands raised open and peacefully. "Charlie, wait!" Vaggie yelled, stepping up defensively, though she kept her spear lowered. She could feel the raw power rolling off the kid. He was dangerous, a powder keg ready to blow. But Cherry-Blossom, completely misreading the room and desperate to put the attention back on herself, pushed past Charlie. "Um, excuse me? You totally ruined my entrance," she whined, crossing her arms and pouting. "Like, you're being so extra right now. Boys don't like it when you cry for attention, it's honestly so embarrassing—" Leo’s pink eyes snapped directly to her. The air grew so heavy it felt like lead. Leo didn't just snap; his anger detonated. With a roar of pure fury, a shockwave of localized dark energy blasted outward. Shadowy tendrils erupted from the floorboards, shattering the nearby windows and sending Cherry-Blossom flying backward into a wall. She hit the drywall with a thud and slid down, completely silent, her eyes wide with a very real, non-fabricated terror. Leo gasped, clutching his head as the panic attack peaked, his breathing ragged and wild. Before he could unleash another wave of destruction, Charlie was there. She didn't attack. She wrapped her arms tightly around the trembling prince, pulling him into a warm, fierce hug.
