While Chicken-fighting, Cody and Moxxie were still wrestling at the pool, and they were having fun. Of course, since Millie was an imp, she lowered herself on the pool, right on her knees so that she can be at the same level as her despised coworkers. Even though she hated them, she was still having fun in a way (mostly because she loves watching her coworkers suffer or get hurt).
"Come on, Cody, you can do better than that!" Moxxie exclaimed playfully.
"I am, Moxxie!" Cody said, trying to push his opponent off of Millie.
"Ah you guys." Blitzo said while sipping some more bloody mary. It was one of his favorite drinks and he was growing fond of the kid like Loona was doing over time. He didn't really want to admit, since he viewed himself higher than other imps down here.
Ultimately, Cody was victorious in throwing Moxxie off Millie in the pool. "Gotcha!" the kid clapped his hands in triumph.
"I knew you would do it, Cody." Loona smiled.
"I did it!" Cody exclaimed. They both did another round of chicken fighting and Moxxie won this time, then the third round had Cody win. It was a two out of three match for these two in the chicken fight.
Moxxie and Millie decided to switch places and Millie looked more than ready to take on Cody in a game of chicken fighting. Given her competitive nature, she looked a little scary with that playful grin on her face.
"Try not to hurt him, honey." Moxxie said. "He's just a little kid."
"Come on, have I ever let my competitive nature get the best of me, Mox?"
The male imp thought of the times of how overly-competitive his own wife can be in in many games and competitions over the years he and her have been married. From the times she would be rubbing in faces to where she would accidentally kill her opponents like in a roller derby or a go-kart race. Indeed, Millie can let her competitive nature get the best of her.
"Well... to be honest, you can accidentally kill demons when in a contest." Moxxie admitted. Sure, Moxxie might not be the strongest demon, but he was a very honest one.
"Come on." Millie doubted. "This is just a chicken fight with a little kid. I love kids as much as the next guy."
"Millie, I swear to Satan, if you go too far, I swear-"
"Oh, keep your swimsuit on, Loona." Millie rolled her eyes. "I will absolutely be gentle on him, I promise." she turned her attention back to Cody before saying: "Don't listen to them, especially Loona. She's a big bottle of crazy sauce."
Loona just growled at the statement the female imp said about her, but brushed it off, because she was used to insults from almost anyone.
"OK, here goes." Cody said, "ready when you are." they both looked arms against one another and it looked a little more fierce than how Cody was wrestling Moxxie before.
Despite that, Cody was holding it all that he got against Millie in a simple game of chicken-fighting.
Ultimately, over about one minute, Cody was beaten by Millie again and again. For an imp, she was very strong and fierce. It was a good thing that they were over water and not over cement or concrete.
Again, and again, Millie was beating Cody over and over again, but then, Cody had an idea. "You doing ok, sweetie?" asked Millie.
They both locked arms again before Cody replied. "Yeah, it's very fun!" before struggling to push Millie off. He looked to his right and called out: "What did you say Blitzo?"
Looking a little confused, Blitzo said: "I didn't say anything."
It caught Millie off-guard and it gave the boy the perfect chance to push the female imp off of her husband. It was something called the element of surprise.
"Well, nice thinking, kiddo." Loona commended him with a sly look. "How can anyone not resist a boy's innocence like that?"
Moxxie looked a little baffled at how Millie got tricked by a kid like that, and Millie got up the surface, and looked at the boy. "That wasn't fair!" she exclaimed with a playful smile. "That was a foul."
"No it isn't." Cody said. "Besides, it's not an actual tournament."
"Oh you sneaky little devil." Millie said with a sly smirk.
"That was really clever, Cody." said Moxxie. "Really. It was. Are you hurt, Millie?"
"Puh-lease." Millie said. "from falling into water like that? It's just water."
"Right." Moxxie remembered. "Then how come I got hurt doing a belly flop?"
"because you're unlucky." Loona joked.
The male imp looked offended and replied. "FYI: I have won the shooting range last week, and you know that!"
"Whatever." Loona said. "You having fun, Cody?"
"Lots of fun!" Cody said. "I would switch places with you Loona, but you're too heavy for me."
"Yep. pretty much." the female hellhound agreed. "But I'm glad you're having fun."
"I wish I had a beach ball." Cody admitted.
"On it!" Blitzo called out, handing over a rainbow-colored beach ball to the group.
"How do you have that on you, sir?" asked Moxxie
"Ohhh... no reason." Blitzo looked a little nervous. "I mean it's not mine, and- DON'T ASK QUESTIONS YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO KNOW THE ANSWER TOO!" he shouted so abruptly
"OK!" Loona said. "For God's sake! I have sensitive ears, Blitzo."
"Oh, and you love to blare heavy metal music in your headphones?"
"Yeah, because that's the good kind of noise, wiseass!" Loona scowled. She looked at the kid, not really wanting to scare him and said in a soft voice: "Sorry. Blitzo is just a really weird guy."
"No problem." Cody said. "I need some Coca-Cola and some root beer." he got out of the pool to enjoy a drink while Loona herself got out to drink some red wine on her. She didn't want to look drunk in front of Cody, not wanting to make him nervous and uncomfortable, because some people can embarrass themselves quite a lot when they are inebriated.
"Hey! Loona!" said a male voice. The group looked over and they saw Vortex with white swim trunks and without a shirt. Serana and Crystal were also with him. Serena was wearing a green swimsuit while Crystal a blue one.
"Hey guys!" Loona said. "Come on in! the Water's fine!"
Blitzo looked over to where Tex was and he just scowled. "Oh fuck me." he muttered.
