Loona the Caretaker

Cake Time!

The cake that Verosika made for Cody was yummy and delicious with frosting and mousse filling inside, and it wasn't poisoned (thank God for that). He had two pieces of that cake after dinner, which was beef stroganoff that Blitzo made from his mother's recipe that he had got.

Good thing there was far more cake since it was as big as a wedding cake.

Blitzo and Loona, of course, had one or two slices of their own, and even brought Moxxie, Millie, and Vortex for a slice of their own since this was a big cake.

"I'm glad this isn't poisoned." aaid Moxxie. "This is so good."

"One good thing came from that floozy slut." Millie added before taking a big ole bite of her cake slice.

"Yeah, I could eat this all day long." Vortex agreed. "I forgot about Alphonse, her personal chef. He makes the best desserts."

"Let's just be glad it wasn't poisoned." Blitzo agreed."

Eating his cake, Cody had a thought. He looked at his cross thay was sitting on the coffee table, and he wondered if being down here in Hell is going to pull him away from his parents forever. Something like being down here for so long would mean: unwillingly selling his soul to Satan himself.

He didn't want to be separated from his parents when he died, and he still wanted to he in heaven with them when the time had come. He looked at the cross some more and knew that he can at least have that with him in case any hostile demon tried to eat him or steal his soul for their own sick amusement.

"Cody? You alright?" Loona said.

The boy didn't answer as he was in his train of thought.

Blitzo couldn't help but pull out an air horn to get his attention, blaring it and making the others yell in fright and irritation. "God damn it, Blitzo!" Loona said in irritation. "Was that fucking necessary?"

"Almost made my eardrums fall out!" Moxxie said.

"Yeah, we Hellhounds have sensitive hearing." Vortex added.

"Sorry, I never get to use this." Blitzo smiled deviously with his air horn still in his left hand.

"What are you trying to do, Blitzo?" Cody said, "make my head explode?"

The others agreed with Cody, sounding as irritated as him. "I had to do something to get your attention, Cody." said Blitzo. "You look like you were in la la land."

"Well you could have done it in a way that was less obnoxious." Millie said. "Seriously sir. I think you made one of my ears bleed."

"Please, you're all just a bunch of pussies!" Blitzo scoffed.

"Sorry guys." Cody said. "I was just thinking if i... sold my soul to Satan from being down here for a while."

"That's dumb." said Loona. "You would have to do something evil to do that. I don't mean to sound rude Cody, but you can be morbid."

"Some of my friends in school say that."

"Why wouldn't I be surprised." Blitzo said.

"Come on, you have nothing to worry about. Besides, if Satan does try to take you, he will have to go through me." Loona said.

"And me" Moxxie added

"Me too." Millie boldly said.

"me three." Tex added.

Cody was touched at how his friends would just defend him in exchange for their lives.

"We wouldn't even care if we would be punished greatly by him." said Blitzo. "We will be happy knowing we saved you from him."

"Thanks guys." Cody said. "I was just thinking if being down here would keep me separated from my parents forever."

"Come on, why would you even think that, Cody? That's crazy talk."

"Well, it made me think of Hades and Persephone and how he tricked her into being his wife with the pomegranate seeds and all."

"Ohh. I get it." said Moxxie.

"That's just some Greek tragedy." Blitzo said. "Those deities don't even exist."

"Yeah, this isn't the Greek underworld with the River Styx." Loona said. "Hell is very different... in a way."

"Very different." Millie added.

"Ok. And you guys still think I shouldn't trust Verosika?"

His cronies replied words similar to "yes" or "oh yeah" or "definitely", similar words to those ones.

"She is good at tricking people and lying." Blitzo said. "Just take it from me, I dated her."

"And I worked with her." Tex added. "She has a reputation for... getting her own way."

"You're right." Cody sighed. "But this cake is so good."

"One can say it's literally icing on the cake?" Moxxie joked before laughing and Millie laughed with him.

"You are too much." Loona rolled her eyes. "I can see why gbe comedy club rejected you in the first place."

"Cute." Millie scowled at her.

"I want to thank you so much for coming here."

"Was there a reason why you called us here, Blitzo?" Moxxie couldn't help but ask.

"Well you are my closest friends. And... it can get lonely here, if you know what I mean, Mox." Blitzo said. "Besides, look at that bad boy." he pointed his right thumb over to the cake. "I didn't want my Loony to eat all of that and turn into a sumo wrestler."

"Blitzo!" Loona said. "Vortex is here."

"Sorry."

"No, no, it's alright. I can eat it all up to clear some space." said Vortex. "I was the winner of the hot dog eating contest last year in Loo Loo Land."

"Why am I not surprised?" Blitzo rolled his eyes.

"Well at least you got your book report done, Cody." said Millie. "I'm sure your teacher will like it."

"I think she will." Cody smiled. "Once I start school on Monday, I'll put the notes on her desk in the morning."

"That's my boy." Loona said in her brain as she smiled.
