Chapter Text
The morning started just like any other, Flug waking up and checking his daily routine schedule, then waking 5.0.5 up for him to do the morning cleaning, getting Demencia fed and dressed which seemed to always take longer than it should as Demencia would always run around shouting: "Pyjamas forever!" Next on the list was Flug's meeting with his boss and the master of the house, Lord Black Hat, which he was scared about because he was five minutes late and had to skip todays breakfast, 5.0.5's delicious blueberry pancakes.
"Stupid Demencia. Black Hat's going to kill me for being late!" Flug thought, as different scenarios played in his mind about the different ways Black Hat would torture him as punishment. When Flug got to Black Hat's office he knocked on the door, his hand shaking as he did so.
"Lord Black Hat, it’s me. I'm coming in." Flug announced as he slowly opened the door. As soon as Flug stepped into the office the door slammed shut and Flug saw Black Hat standing with his back to him, looking out the window. He then slowly turned to face Flug before taking a sit at his desk.
"Flug, you know how I feel about tardiness. Now why are YOU LATE!" Black Hat growled.
"Forgive me sir." Flug pleaded, shaking as he spoke. "But Demencia was being difficult again. I swear it won't happen again." Flug's pleas seemed to have calmed Black Hat only a little.
"See that it doesn't Doctor."
"What did you want to discuss with me Boss?"
"I have received an invitation to a fancy Gala for Villains and won't be back until the Monday 26th. While I am gone you will be in charge, and I want my house to be in one piece when I get back. UNDERSTAND!"
"Y-Y-Y-Yes s-s-sir. Understood."
"Good. Because if I find this place ruined like last time… excuses won't save you, Demencia and 5.0.5."
"Yes, my Lord Black Hat. I'll see to it that the manor remains intact the weekend of your departure." Flug was then dismissed from Black Hat's office, his heart racing from the fright of remembering the last time he was left in charge while Black Hat was away from Hat Manor.
Demencia had gone completely crazy breaking everything and then placing dynamite in 5.0.5's cookie recipe, which caused an explosion big enough to destroy Hat Manor and caused the three to try and escape Black Hat's terrifying fury by making cardboard models of themselves and rowing away from Hat Island, all of that was pointless though as Black Hat quickly caught them. The difference then was his boss was only away for the day, how in the world was Flug going to keep things (by that he meant Demencia) under control for an entire weekend?
Flug decided to think of a solution later as he still had his morning routine to complete. So, he feed Black Hat's pet snake Lil' Jack (almost getting eaten in the process) and worked on new upcoming inventions to sell as products for the Organization.
Back in his office Black Hat opened a draw of his desk and pulled out the Villain Gala invitation.

As he was reading through it, Black Hat could detect the faint smell of roses, massoia wood and vanilla. He also noticed something in the bottom right corner, a small message: Hope to see you at the Gala Blackie. Signed - MF. Black Hat placed the invite back in its envelope and back in his desk draw, he then teleported to his room to pack.
