The #official read a proclamation, "We award the Better Angels with the ceremonial key to our station. Thank you!"
Zaza accepted it & passed a note to the man.
"And I seem to have an award for 'Best Producer.' "
David shuffled forward while the girls shrieked & jumped.

"Remember in the #beginning…" Zaza growled in his ear. "Before the dark times. Before the… VAMPIRE!"
David turned on the light and the Better Angels, that were surrounding his bed, drew back, shading their eyes, and hissing.
"Halloween's not 'til next month," he said.

The music came to an abrupt #end & David started toward the last empty chair. Zaza pretended to race him, but let him win.
"Oh, no! I'm out!" she squealed.
David sat on the tiny chair as the Better Angels cheered.
"David wins again!"
They made sure David won every time.

Revin's father was dragged before him in chains.
"I should have strangled you in the crib, you worthless bint," he spat.
"You are a #base & loathsome creature," the Queen said, coming up from behind. "Your son has pleaded for your life, but my mercy extends no further."

"What do we do about your father?" Momo asked, putting her hand on his arm.
"I don't know. He's dangerous & unrepentant," Revin groaned. "I don't know how to fix him. "
Momo drew herself up & became the Queen.
"Let me be #frank," the Queen said. "You can't fix people."

"Who keeps writing 'candy' on the whiteboard?" David asked.
The Better Angels all pointed at one another.
"Well, I'm going to #erase it and I'd better not see it again!"
Zaza raised her hand.
"Yes, Zaza?"
"How about 'lollipops'?"
"Bubblegum!" shrieked the others.

"It'll never work," the mayor said. "The people won't accept a woman governor. It's bad enough you've appointed this…"
He indicated Revin, but broke off when he caught the Queen's expression.
"Choose your next words carefully," she said quietly. "Or I'll #destroy you."

David sat the Better Angels down in a circle.
"We need to #create a new routine," David said. "Which group should we model it on?"
"Puzzycure?" asked Zaza.
"We did that the last 3 times," David said. "Who do we want this time?"
They sprang up & shrieked, "PUZZYCURE!"

"I won't pay!" the owner said.
"You don't #grasp," David said. "What happens if you stiff the Better Angels."
In moments, he heard the girls wailing followed by shouts as an angry crowd began to threw rocks. He rushed out into a hail of rotten vegetables.
David smirked.

"Should we get these brownies?" David said holding up a package, as the Better Angels jumped up and down with excitement.
"Or these?" he continued, showing the other package. They collapsed to the floor, rolling around and moaning with distress.
"Okay, okay. No #nuts."
