[3rd POV]
It had taken a while to finish up their shopping, as each of the kids had been very interested in looking over the store more than once. Even when not grabbing anything like Beatrix. The girl had still looked over stuff to give it the chance, but had not found anything interesting to her.
So she opted to just not get anything, and wait for their next trip to a store that she was more interested in. As she did not want to force herself into buying anything that she did not want. And both Lucifer and Alice were okay with that. They did not want her to buy something just to buy it, and instead, they opted to promise a visit to a new game store that Charlie had suggested.
It was the game store that she went to when she was younger, going there with her father all the time. From her own words, it was even bigger than the other one that they had gone to, and had access to books that you cannot find anywhere else.
This made it a good target for a visit from them.
The amount of stuffed animals and dolls that they had bought was quite a bit more than Lucifer had been expecting. But she had no problem paying for them all, which amounted to 31. Most of those being because of Daenerys and Powder.
Powder had wanted a ton of dolls to use in some experiments, while Daenerys had been spoiled with a bunch of stuffed animals that she liked. Vi had gotten her cute stuffie that she blushed when given, and Bloom had gotten her own.
Even Hope and Rose got theirs. While Alice had grabbed a couple for herself, since she still had the ones from back when she lived with the Cullens. Which was what...a few years ago at this point?
Alice had brought up the idea of bringing the Cullens along for a trip, or even asking if they wanted to come to the TVD world. Since Alice was pretty sure that they would be willing to permanently move there if offered. And it would mean that the kids could meet or get to know their aunts, aunties, and grandparents on their mama's side.
Lucifer had even offered to straight up merge the universes, but Alice denied that as it could cause some problems and could potentially change the memories of her family, which she did not want.
So instead it was pretty likely that the Cullens would be moving to New Orleans with them.
Anyways, Alice had gotten a couple of cute toys for herself, with one being this little bunny creature, and the other being a deer. Both would be added to her little collection to stuffed animals that she had littered throughout their bedroom.
Even Charlie had gotten a couple, after she had noticed some new stuffed animals in the store. Lucifer had paid for those as well, not letting the woman pay for her own stuffed animals, since Lucifer wanted to thank her for being so kind.
That and Lucifer thought the girl was adorable when she was thanking her. Alice had said that they would totally adopt Charlie if her father was a piece of shit. But he wasn't and he was actually a good father, thankfully.
Now Charlie's mother on the other hand...was a different subject. Lucifer and Alice weren't really fond of the woman.
After finishing their shopping in the store, Lucifer and Alice asked Charlie to officially join them for the day, and after a bit of deliberation, she had agreed. She was a little nervous being around them for that long, mostly because Lucifer could be a very intimidating woman when she wanted to be. And she barely knew anything about her.
But, she had soon fallen into her role as their guide around the city. Pointing out all sorts of interesting spots for them to visit. Like this cool candy store that sold unique candies that were imbued with magical effects.
It was similar to the store that they had gone to, being that it was ran by an older imp man, and was seemingly under the protection of Charlie's father. Probably because according to her, it was the only place in the underworld that sold his favorite candies.
The candies that they sold were pretty interesting to them, like one that would make the person that ate it literally breathe fire. Or one that would let them momentarily grow cat ears, and all sorts of other interesting effects that Lucifer had never seen in a candy before.
The only ones that she thought of that could probably mimic those affects were the candies from the world of Harry Potter. As there was tons of very unique candies over there that could not be found in any other universe she could think of.
After the candy store, she had pointed out this store that was...interesting?
Interesting was the only way she could describe it.
It was the rubber ducky store, a store completely dedicated to selling rubber ducky toys. And according to Charlie, this was her father's favorite store, who regularly entered the shop to buy new duckies that he didn't already have in his growing collection.
Sort of like how Charlie would regularly visit the kind old lady to buy new dolls and stuffed animals that she would make all the time.
The amount of duckies inside the store was kind of impressive, even by Lucifer's standards. It was huge, and had hundreds of duckies. And according to Charlie, her father had like ten times that number in his collection.
And the best part of it was that most of the duckies in the shop were not in his collection just yet.
The other kind of cool thing about his little collection of duckies was that a ton of other people had started to collect them too after hearing about him. And tons of new collectors had propped up enjoying other hobbies, since if the king of hell could do it, why couldn't they?
All in all, Lucifer had found that she quite enjoyed the day so far, as she continued to follow behind her family with a smile on her face, and one thought on her mind.
'I wonder what the rest of the Hazbins are up to?'
