Very touched by Loona's words, Cody almost felt like crying, but decided not to look like a wimp in front of her. There was no use crying anymore, and he felt like he did it one time too many.
"So Cody, I promise to always be there if you need me." Loona said. She was still hugging him and Cody was still enjoying this tender moment.
The boy hugged her back and said: "Thanks Loona." Her body felt so warm against his own and he wished this moment could last forever (not in a romantic way of course). "I think you're one of the best things that ever happened to me, too."
Loona looked touched. "Oh, you're just saying that." she smirked.
"No, really. You are." Cody said. "You saved me from dying in a fire, you showed me how cool hell can be, new friends, those things."
"OK, OK, I get it with the smushy stuff." Loona then let go of him, breaking off her hug. "Admittedly..." she said, looking like she had more to say, "you taught me things too."
"Really?"
"Uh-huh. I mean, granted, Tex got me some friends, but you make me... more happy than before."
It really sounded like Cody has become the son, or at least; little brother that Loona always wanted in her life. Cody decided not to push it though, and let Loona have this.
"So I'm off from school tomorrow. You want to so something fun?"
"Anything's better than staying at Blitzo's place all day, that's for sure." Loona smiled. "So yeah. Let me know when you want to do. But for now, let's just enjoy the party while it lasts."
"Agreed." Cody smiled. They both head downstairs and heard the thumping, heavy metal music blaring in the large foyer. Tex walked up the pair and greeted them warmly.
"Hey guys." said Tex. "Where'd ya go?"
"The tallest balcony in the castle." Loona stated. "I wanted to talk to Cody in private about something."
"Oh. But how great is this party?" Vortex said. "I wish Eclipse was here to see this. She would be crazy jealous of this soiree."
Loona made a small smirk of amusement and wondered if that would actually happened one of these days (if Satan throws another party in his evil château.) "I bet she would be jealous." Loona said.
Suddenly, the metal music stopped playing and everyone was silent once the music had muted. "What's going on?" asked Cody, looking around to and fro.
"I have no idea." Loona remarked flatly.
"Attention loyal subjects, and or unlucky cocksuckers who wounded up down here after committing a sin." Satan announced on the microphone. "My apologies if I stopped the awesome tunes on here. But, I have a special announcement to make."
Some of the demonic party goers were annoyed, but many of them were curious.
"Now then, how many of you people have heard of a shitty kid's show from a long time ago called... how should I say... Barney?"
A loud uproar of booing and heckling was heard all across the large room.
"Now now, settle down. Why i ask you is because, the creator of that fucking poor excuse of a dinosaur has been killed."
Then a loud uproar of cheering was heard and excitement.
"Yes, that's right folks, the creator of that show is no more. You see, Sheryl Leach was about to revive that gay monster back on the air."
Everyone gasped like someone had died or someone had been shot.
"But, one brave human decided to call demons to deal away with the woman before the possibility of reviving Barney can ever happen." Satan continued. He lowered the microphone and walked up to Cody. "Come here, my boy. I'm praising you as a hero."
Cody looked a little nervous and Loona said. "It's ok, Cody."
"Yeah, go on." said Crymini.
"Do it." Vortex smiled.
Cody walked with Satan and climbed on stage with a little help from Lilith, gently pulling the kid up. Cody was then facing the demons below in front of the stage.
Something grabbed Cody's arm and it was Satan, lifting his left arm up like he had won a wrestling match. "Ladies and gentlemen... this child made it all possible to prevent such a horrific event from happening and preventing us from cutting off our ears with garden sheers. Cody Laurent."
Another sound of cheering erupted, although not every demon cheered since some of them probably don't care.
"Care to comment on what you think about this act if heroicy?" Satan 0ut the microphone below Cody's mouth.
"Well... ummm... I didn't kill her." Cody modestly said. "All I did was ask the Immediate Murder Professionals for help so Sheryl would never be able to revive Barney."
"Yes," said Satan. "I know you didn't deliver the killing blow on her. I mean, you're still a little boy, a naive little ankle biter to be exact."
Some small sounds of laughter wss heard in front of the stage.
"But, if was your idea. So that's what counts. Thank you so much for getting rid of that woman, Cody." Satan warmly said. "She never should have created that purple dinosaur in the first place."
"Yeah, I agree." said Cody, looking a little sheepish. "I hope any demons don't come up to eat me."
"Oh come on, who would want to eat you?" said Lilith.
A small number of demons down there did want to eat Cody however, and one large burly demon had a fork and knife, looking like he was ready to snack on the kid. However, he was stopped by Loona, Crymini, and Vortex growling at his face like angry dogs or wolves, making the demon look scared and threw his silverware away.
"Come on, i am in charge of the party, so there's no need to be paranoid." Satan said. "Anyway, you will certainly be remembered by many for a long time to come after thinking of this wonderful idea."
