Joey magically disappeared during break hours. Again. Abby wanted to discuss the problems of LITERALLY LETTING A FUCKING TEENAGE BOY STEAL ART SUPPLIES FROM A LOCKED CABINET.

Buuut he rather call it ambition.

Anyways. She was leaning on Lisa, Joey's secretary's desk, randomly talking about their future, like, y'know, having kids and whatnot. They are still newlyweds. They suddenly saw a figure move so fast past them they didn't even have time to see who it was.

Then the door lock clicked.

Abby peeked through the small window on the door, she couldn't really tell, but assuming from the tail it was Joey.

He was hiding behind his desk with a book full of curses and rituals and stuff he found in the library.

A/N: YES THE FUCKING LIBRARY YOU GOT A PROBLEM

Joey dipped his finger in an inkwell, drawing a pentagram on the floor, then pulling out five candles, placing it on the pentagram then lighting it up (somehow) with his tail.

He smiled, like he was recalling a fond memory.

He then stepped into the pentagram, closing his eyes and raising his hands up, putting space between them to make it look like a ball could fit through. He closed his eyes for a moment.

"JOSEPH DON'T YOU DARE-" Abby screamed from outside, desperately trying to unlock the door. Joey opened his eyes to reveal full empty black ones. A big black ball in Joey's hands started to emerge out of nowhere.

"NO NO NO NO NO-"

BAM!

Abby got up, she glanced to side to see if her wife is okay. Lisa was hiding under her desk. Fortunately she is. Abby sighed relief.

She looked at the door, somehow it wasn't open, considering the explosion.

"Missus Lambert? Is everything okay? We heard an explosion from the upper level. I'm taking the dumbwaiter to see what's happened." A voice from Abby's belt said. Buddy.

Joey actually gave permission for the crew to use walkie-talkies for some reason.

A/N: YES I KNOW WALKIE TALKIES WERE FIRST INVENTED IN 1937 BUT WHATEVER, also, i know dumbwaiters are smol lifts in houses to bring food on a tray to another level, but Joey made Tom install them anyways so the kids have ease in going up and down to other levels. YES THE KIDS CAN FIT.

Abby picked up her walkie-talkie off her belt and held the button. "No, no. Save the trouble. Go back down and finish those frames." She put the device back on her belt.

"Okay, ma'am." Buddy's voice shook a bit.

Abby peeked again through the window and finds Joey hugging two taller people, one man who looks just like him, wearing glasses, a yellowish brown shirt and brown apron, and a woman with black hair and reddish pink eyes, wings, horns, tail, wearing a Lolita dress.

Abby sighed, sliding her back against the door, pulling her orange blouse down in fear of it being pulled up, even though the only people that are (currently) in the room is a lesbian married couple.

She looked up and closed her eyes.

"Why the fuck is he my friend."
