*Chemicals React ~Aly and AJ (I had some help from the awesome Cas for this one!)

You make me feel out of my element,

Like I'm walking on broken glass,

Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion,

And you're movin' to fast,

Now at this point it seemed like a rather doomed project continuing to pursue the younger Harvelle woman, he'd already given her a expensive gift, hinted strongly at his intentions and more than clearly staked his claim in front of his demonic minions. Yet she'd taken it all with pinch of salt and continued to decline.

So what to do next?

What he really needs is an incentive for her to say yes. Material objects aren't going to phase her, neither will money (with the Hunter's life style of living off credit card fraud) how about something-no-someone dear to her being returned to life?

Houston we have a plan.

Jo hadn't seen her very own stalker since last night "Good he can nurse his wounded pride the pervert" but she didn't miss the suspicious glances her mother kept shooting in her direction every five minutes.

Jo ignored the eyes boring into her back in favour of reading a people's magazine "Please. As if I'd sneak off and have a shot gun wedding with the devil of all things."

A part of her prodded her subconscious reminding her about the necklace tucked away from her mom's prying eyes, Jo shoved that part of herself away continuing to read the latest celebrity gossip.

A bump sounded from Ash's closed room, Jo stilled as did Ellen.

Another bump followed by footsteps came from the room, they stared at it silently as it opened revealing a bedraggled Ash. He blinked, rubbed his eyes then shrugged "Huh saves me having to find you two. How'd you get into my heaven anyway?"

Jo reacted throwing Holy water into his face, Ash groaned "Jo I'm sober, dead and have a killer headache not helping. Wait you can have headache's in heaven? That's new."

Jo held a silver knife against his throat whispering dangerously "What are you?"

Ash gripped his head "I'd say hungover. Jo you do know you're dead right?"

"If that's a threat you're in no position to do so buster."

"A threat? What? No. Hey Jo leggo!"

Lucifer's voice commented amused "You know if you kill him again I won't resurrect him a second time."

Jo spun around at him "You did this?"

Lucifer got off of the table he was leaning on "Think of it as an engagement present."

Jo looked at Ash in a new light "So this is really Ash?"

"One hundred percent bad ass me. Wait I'm alive again? Shit no wonder my head hurts."

Jo's joy faded into instant suspicion "What did you do to him?"

Lucifer rolled his eyes "Nothing. His brain is just trying to cope with the sudden intake of information he learned in heaven."

Ash moaned again "Yeah ow. I'm fluent in Enochian now bitch, don't mess with me."

Lucifer snorted "As if you could harm me."

In an instant he literally dived to the floor dodging the shotgun ammo that blew a hole in the wall where his head had been, Ellen growled "Damn I missed."

Lucifer looked up at the angry Harvelle commenting "You know this is like the total opposite of gratitude."

She fired again which he barely dodged rolling to side "Damn it woman are you trying to hurt me?"

Ellen cocked the shotgun "Yep."

Jo intervened "Mom stop!"

Ellen slowly lowered the shotgun in case she damaged the Roadhouse any more, Ash went to the bar and grabbed a beer, Lucifer peered over the table he was using as a temporary fort in case the crazy lady tried to shoot him again. Jo inhaled facing him "OK so you brought back Ash. What's the catch? I don't say yes and he dies again?"

Ash held up a hand "I'm cool with it." Ellen shot him a glare that stated 'Darn fool.'

Lucifer got up convinced he wasn't about to get filled with shotgun lead "Actually I just want you to go out with me."

Jo raised an eyebrow "Out? Like a date?"

"That's right."

"JOANNA!"

"Quiet mom. Nothing else? You won't like sacrifice me to the pagans or anything?"

Lucifer smirked "Hand on heart I won't sacrifice you to the pagans. Annoying buggers anyway why my brother ran off to pretend to be one of them I will never know and that's not even mentioning his ex."

"Angels can date?"

"That's a topic for another occasion. So will you accompany me?"

Jo looked at her mother who's steel expression clearly expressed her view on the subject, then to Ash who even though was nursing a hell of a headache was achieving a booze buzz gave her a thumbs up, so the decision was all hers then. "You try anything and you'll regret it. Understand?"

Lucifer grinned "Perfectly. Shall we go?" He offered her an arm which she took almost daringly, before Ellen could utter a protest they were gone.

Jo expected to be whisked away to a seedy club that reeked of smoke, sex and booze. Being realistic you'd think the devil would be drawn to those types of places feeling comfortable in amongst a shit load of sin right?

Wrong.

They appeared outside a rather old fashioned building that had men arriving in suits and woman in a array of different dresses. Ranging from simple formal attire of low cut tops with short skirts to long elegant gowns, with a sense of trepidation Jo looked down at herself to discover she was no longer in a t-shirt and jeans, but instead a sleeveless v-cut red dress that showed off her necklace and had sparkly sequins sewn into in the bodice, the skirt flowed from hip down to her ankles a mixture of amber tones that looked like liquid fire when she moved. Jo stared accusingly at her escort who was now in a white suit of his own smiling as innocently as possible offering her a rose "You couldn't help yourself could you?"

Lucifer merely played dumb "I have no idea what you're talking about, but you do look ravishing all the same."

Against her will she blushed at the compliment taking the rose from his grasp. He walked forward with her at his side, Jo looked around at the people entering the building with them "We are still in the same time period right?"

"Of course. Some people though enjoy dressing up on the occasion when going to dinner."

Jo sighed in relief "Thank god. I thought we were about to walk into some medieval banquet!"

Lucifer chuckled "I'm sure knights carried around blackberry's."

She flushed "Shut up."

A sudden mental image came to mind of a knight in the middle of battle, texting on his blackberry for back-up. Something Dean had mentioned Cas had said came to mind while she pictured the metaphorical knight and his text. This isn't funny King Arthur, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes. Jo sighed and decided she was officially nuts for even imagining that.

The building was set out so tables were around a circular area that was used as a dance floor, on a raised piece by the dance floor was a small orchestra playing music whilst people dined or danced.

Lucifer led her to a table, even going as far as pulling out a chair, which she sat down in a little warily. He said no tricks but how did she know that the other people weren't demons in disguise? Or vampires, shifters or werewolves? Without her hunter gear she would be at a disadvantage but not entirely helpless even with the dress hindering her movements.

She subtlety shifted the salt shaker closer and if he noticed he didn't comment on it instead starting up some small talk, even as their orders came, Jo had said "You actually eat?" he smiled at that, they continued talking asking things about one another generally having a peaceful evening.

Jo found herself having a good time since nothing had tried to kill her in the last hour, he'd behaved as promised and it was actually kinda fun doing something semi normal for a change.

Once the meal was over they talked a bit more and she thought he'd take her home since it was half nine at night, instead he got up extending a hand "Care to dance?"

Jo declined "No I don't know how, on my Prom night I was helping refill a grave."

Lucifer didn't falter "Never too late to learn."

Jo bit her lip glancing at the other couples that were waltzing to the music "You better not make me look like an idiot."

"Just follow my lead." He pulled her close his left hand grasping her right, the other was securely on her waist, Jo fumbled awkwardly with her left hand unsure where to place it he patiently guided it to his right shoulder. "Now we waltz."

Slowly she stumbled along with him eventually gaining enough timing and rhythm to follow along smoothly "I might be wrong Miss Harvelle but I do believe you're dancing."

Jo grinned "Well look at that so I am." He twirled her out and in smoothly "So when did you learn to dance oh lord of the flame?"

Lucifer hmmed "Well I learned the theory a long time ago from watching humans. This is actually the first time I've put it into practice."

She huffed slapping his chest lightly "Show off." they were gradually slowing their movements to a stand still when she noticed their was no longer any music playing she commented softly "When did the music stop?"

Lucifer murmured back "Not sure."

He leaned down slowly giving her time to back away but she met him halfway in a soft kiss, they pulled back looking each other in the eyes the whole time. Jo said "You'll never give up will you?"

He smiled gently "Never."

She returned the smile "Then as long as we take it at my pace. Yes."

His gaze was still pleased but a bit more serious as some doubt of her admission took hold "You mean it?"

She nodded looping her arms around his neck "Yes." Then kissed him again without a care in the world.

Were you right, was I wrong,

Were you weak, was I strong, yeah,

Both of us broken,

Caught in a moment,

We lived and we loved,

And we hurt and we jumped, yeah,

But the planets all aligned,

When you looked into my eyes,

And just like that,
