Hello?

Yes, Freddikins, I'll be there. They will? Fabulous, darling. I'd love to see your parents.

Are you sure? Because it wouldn't be any trouble at all. Scout's honor.

No, you're right, I never was a Scout. Loosen up, sweetie-pie.

All right, if you're sure. Take care, honeybunch, and give my best to the rest. See you next week.

About Fred's parents...Do they know now that you're a real demon? 'Cause last time, they thought it was costume and make-up. And they thought you were working on movies with Angel. And her father's comment about eyeliner and fake horns...you were surely feeling insulted. I hope they now what you really are and I hope they likes you. After all, you're their daughter's friend. Just make them laugh with some jokes and everything is gonna be fine. I hope you'll get to know each others better. You're a friend of Fred, so there's no way they won't like you.

Y'know, I'm not sure what Freddikins has told her parents about me. Fred sweetie? Should we keep the smelling salts on hand for your mother? And perhaps a large stiff drink for your father?

Smelling salts? For my mother? Lorne, my mama drives a schoolbus. Meeting a real demon isn't nearly as terrifying as driving a busload of elementary kids on the last day of school.

And while Daddy might like a little something to sip, he'll be just fine if we have a couple of Shiner Bocks on hand. No need for anything stronger.

I warn you, though--Daddy'll be asking you all kinds of questions about Pylea. Don't feel like you have to hide anything from him, okay?

*waves at the anonymous stranger* Hi!

Hi Fred. Did he felt insulted? 'Cause I didn't mean to insult him. I was just worried, you know...Usually, people are scared when they see him. I think that judging a book by its cover is...simply sad. Plus, I think this is ridiculous because he's not scary. Compared to many demons, he's just cute and adorable. I hope everything is gonna be fine with your parents. I was just worried. I really hope they'll likes him.
