Loona the Caretaker

Apologies Do Not Always Work

Cody was happy to he at the arcade again and he was playing Guitar Warrior once again, getting some more attention from it.

Octavia was just as amazed by this as everyone else. Like the first time, there were some demons catching this on their phones to tape it on video.

Cody was playing and playing for hours until his fingers, hands, and even arms were getting sore. "Whew. That was fun." he said to himself before feeling cramps in both his hands. "Ah! ow ow ow ow ow!" he said as he was shaking his hands from the soreness. "God i need a break from this."

He went with his friends to one of the catering tables and Moxxie got him two large cups with just ice cubes in them to help relieve the soreness in his hands and fingers.

"Are your hands alright, Cody?" asked Millie

"They'll be fine. Oh that hits the spot." Cody just relaxed his hands in the extra large cups. It was almost like his hands were about to come to life like Coraline, but he knew it wouldn't happen. At least his hands weren't being lodged by needles or splinters.

From the looks of it, he needed to take a break from using his hands fod at least an hour. "It's nothing to worry about." said Octavia. "Just stretch your hands and fingers a little more to ease the sore feeling."

"Got it."

"So we're still up for Stylish Occult, right?" asked the Goetia princess.

"Totally." said Loona. She turned to Cody and said: "You did really good, Cody. If you need a pill for your arms, let me know."

"Oh look at you." said Moxxie. "You being ao motherly and all."

Loona just growled and scowled at the male imp. "Just say that again if you want to have your head ripped off like Ozzy and you being a bat."

Moxxie just gulped and asked Millie: "Is that possible?"

"From the looks of how small you are, and how tall she looks, it's absolutely certain." Octavia pointed.

"Oh relax Moxxie." said Millie. "If she tries to bite off your pretty little head, then she will have to get through me."

Moxxie smiled with flattery, and felt more lucky to have a beautiful and very faithful wife like Millie here.

"Come on guys." said Cody. "Do i have to seperate you guys?"

"Relax" Loona said. "You know i wouldn't try to kill him."

"So what's it like in this store?" asked Cody to Octavia curiously.

"It's like one of those cool shops... what is that store called with the hats and band shirts?"

"Hot Topic?"

"Yes! like that, but cooler."

"How cooler?" asked the kid

"You'll see when we get there."

They sat in the table for about ten minutes and they all went off to Stylish Occult, and like many buildings, looked evil and disturbing. Alas, Cody was ok with going inside as long as he was with his own friends.

Once they all set foot inside, there were many shirts, necklaces, wrist bands, shoes, hats, and other cool clothing, and accessories and trinkets.

"Whoa. Look at this place." said Cody.

"You might want to stay close to me, kid." Loona said. "You might find some stuff in here too... intense."

"Intense?"

"Yep. It's bad enough you read the original Fox and the Hound, but I don't want you to see any more scary things like that."

"Wait. The original story?" asked Octavia. "I know what you're talking about. But that's not a children's novel."
