Loona the Caretaker

Call About Graves

"Loona would you like some broccoli?" Blitzo sang to his adopted daughter again in a weird way. Apparently, he was still using his pulley system to control the ropes of broccoli, much to the uncomfortable feelings of Cody, Loona, Millie, and Sallie Mae.

"Blitzo," said Loona in a calm voice, "You need help!" that little remarked she added sounded loud and aggressive now."

"You're not the only one to say that, Loony." Blitzo said. "I'm fucking weird and I'm fucking proud of it."

"What's the matter with him?" asked Sallie Mae.

"Everything." Loona flatly said. "Every thing is wrong with Blitzo."

"I beg to differ!" Blitzo objected. "You've known I have had a hard life. You don't know me as much as you think, Loona."

"Whatever. Where's fatty anyway?" Loona noticed Millie's beloved husband was missing. Sallie Mae couldn't help but laugh at the hellhound's remark, obviously knowing who Loona was referring to. She even kept her hand over her mouth as she chuckled

Millie just made a small growl and said: "Moxxie is not fat! He's as thin as a rake."

"Calm down, dude." Loona rolled her eyes. "I just joke with him about being fat."

"Would it kill you to at least be a little nice to him every once in a while?!" Millie shouted

"Actually... yes it would, you dipshit!" Loona argued with her, snarling and barring her sharp teeth. "Why in a million years would I ever be nice to that pathetic excuse for a husband of yours?"

"Because if you don't I will make a pelt out of that fluffy fur of yers!" said Millie. "And it will hurt like literal Hell! I'll make ya wish you've never been born! I'll even stick a knife right up yer-"

"Hey hey hey!" Sallie Mae intervened by getting in-between the two. "Take it easy." she even put her hands between them. "Can't y'all see you're scaring the baby?"

"I'm not a baby!" said Cody. "I'm nine!"

"Oh. Sorry." said Sallie Mae.

"I hate being called a baby! I am a big boy and I can take care of myself!" Cody sounded a little infuriated. "Do I look like I wear diapers to you?!"

"Cody! Cody!" Loona said, gently grasping his arms. "Calm down."

"Yeah, Cody, it's just an endearing name. I call Mils a little baby all the time." Sallie Mae.

Millie just made a groan in irritation as she crossed her arms. "Yeah, unfortunately. At least I am in an assassination business, big sis. You're still a farm girl!"

"Whatever. I still live the good life."

"Guys! Please stop fighting in my apartment." Blitzo said. "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Make peace! Make Peace!" he began singing and pressing the keyboard in a more fast tempo than his previous, yet fucked up song.

"I think we should go." said Loona, looking weirded out. "Blitzo is being Blitzo again."

Without a second thought, they left Blitzo alone with his little craziness with the keyboard and the broccoli to sing to himself as he was going a little nutty.

"What's the matter with Blitzo?" asked Millie

"He's just... being himself like I said." Loona sighed.

"Look, Cody, I'm sorry if I called you a baby. It's just in endearing name, that's all. I mean, my daddy calls me babydoll all the time." Sallie Mae explained. "I know a big boy when I see one." she knelt down and tried to have better eye contact with him. "No hard feelings, sweetie?"

"No." Cody sighed. "I'm sorry if I snapped at you. It's just that... it reminded me of Verosika Mayday when I met her."

"ooh, you know a pop star?" asked Sallie Mae, looking amused.

"Unfortunately." Cody said

"Unfortunately?" said Sallie Mae. "It's one of the greatest honors to meet someone like her."

"Well I don't like her music." Cody said. "I prefer rock and metal... almost all music except for today's pop garbage."

"I understand." said Millie's sister.

"Plus, she kidnapped me one time."

"Ooh." Sallie Mae didn't sound very pleased to here that. "Sorry that happened to you."

"If you ask me:" said Cody, "she needs to go back to that rehab place."

"Amen to that." Millie pointed. "Can't believe i just said the A word." she even felt like throwing up just saying "Amen" again. "So Moxxie is fine. He's having a nice bath at home."

"Ah. Whatever." said Loona.

"So you are from the Wrath ring?" Cody couldn't help but ask Millie's sister.

"Yep. that place is my home sweet home."

Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted when Cody's phone blared a heavy metal ringtone to it. "Hello?" Cody listened in.

"Hey Cody."

"Oh hey Tommy." the kid smiled hearijg his big brother's voice. "What's going on?"

"I got a call from the obituary back home and they said they built the headstones and buried mom and dad."

Cody frowned. "Oh... that's good."

"I plan on going over there to pay my respect to them tomorrow. You should come too."

"Yeah, I will, but... i don't know if i can look at the headstones." Cody looked away from his new friends. The kid felt like crying again. "They don't deserve to die."

"Oh Cody." said Tommy. "I know, but it wasn't your fault. Things happen for no reason, remember?"

"I know... i still just can't believe it."

"Me neither. I know it's hard."

The guys with him gave hin a concerned and sympathetic look at him. Loona wanted to ask if he was okay, but she inew it would he rude to bother him with his conversation with his big brother.

"Will you be ok?"

"I'll be ok." said Cody. "I will try to come to their graves."

"Good. Bye."

"Bye." then Cody hung up.

"What's the matter?" asked Sallie Mae.

"My parents got their... he... their headstones."

"Here Cody." said Sallie Mae, bending down for a hug for him. As soon as he felt her body gently pressed against him, Cody couldn't hold if in any more, and he let the tears escape.

"Here, let me hold him." Loona sighed. Cody felt Sallie Mae let him go and the female Hellhound gently hugged him and she knew this would make him feel better faster since she is the very first demon friend Cody ever made.
