Loona the Caretaker

The Threat

Cody looked rather confused. This clown by the name of Fizzaroli, asking Cody to perform at his love shack? Being as young as he is, Cody didn't really understand what he meant. The demon clown said he would give Cody a reward if he gives a good performance at his own place.

"Wait a minute," said Loona, coming to the kids' aid. "Cody is too young to go to the Lust Ring."

"Oh no, my place is not at the Lust Ring, my dear pretty." said Fizzaroli. "No, it will be in this ring."

"But what if the girls... you know?" said Moxxie

"Nah, they have their limits, little idiot."

"What kind of reward will you give me?" asked Cody

"Nothing sexual or anything, kid." said Fizzaroli. "I'll give you a special treat." the clown gave a creepy smile. "Something very nice."

"Can you tell us then?" asked Millie.

"I'll tell you after Cody gives a great performance tonight." the clown pointed before looking at the kid, "if you will accept it that is."

"What if I don't do a song?"

"then I guess I will have to... tell all of Verosika's fans that it was you who got her sent back to rehab. They will all go after you in angry mob form no doubt. And I promise that they will show you no mercy."

Cody gulped abd couldn't bear the thought of being tortured or mutilated by a bunch of angry demons who are fans of that cunt. Alas, he was in a very hypocritical situation right now.

"If anyone wants to kill the kid, they will have to go through me." Loona boldly stood up, cracking her knuckles

"Aww, isn't that nice?" Fizzaroli mocked her. "A mama hellhound coming to rescue his pup."

"I'm not his mother." Loona growled.

"Whatever." Fizzaroli rolled his eyes. "So kid, what do you say?"

"Ok, ok." Cody gave in. "Just show me the-" then a thought struck his noggin. "What am i doing?" he asked. He pulled his lucky cross crom his back pocket and showed it to the deranged clown.

As he thought, Fizzaroli looked scared as a a puppy in a cold, winter day.

"Oh fuck no!" Fizzaroli fell backward on his ass. "not that!"

"I won't sing at your place and there is nothing you can do to make me." Cody tried to sound brave."

"Oh?" Fizzaroli said, raising his left eyebrow. "I know how to track people down like a bloodhound, and i will abduct you in your sleep, not to mention: tell Verosika's fans."

Cody realized that the clown was persistent and looked at his cross. "But this is powerful."

"Yes, but there will be times where you won't have that Jesus stick with you."

He was right, Fizzaroli would eventually find the kid and make his life real Hell. "OK, but only because i don't want to be held accountable for what happened woth Verosika."

"That's a good boy." Fizzaroli sounded happy. "I knew you would he reasonable."

"What song do you want me to sing anyway?"

"I mostly don't care." Fizzaroli noted. "As long as it's not sappy love songs, or tunes like Come On Eileen or You'll Be In My Heart. I can't stand them!"

"Oh."

"But i suppose you'll sing something like the Pokémon or Power Rangers theme song since you're a kid."

"Well, no. I haven't watched Power Rangers so much."

"Come on, Cody. Don't listen to him." Blitzo said. "He knows how to get under people's skin."

"You're one to talk, Blitzo."

"What does that supposed to mean?" asked the Imp leader

"You know. Having a shitty life and taking advantage of the ones you care about." Fizzaroli

"I'll give you something to care about." said Blitzo, pulling out a gun.

"Whoa whoa whoa there, soldier." said Tex. "Take it easy."

"Guys, it's ok. I'll give him what he wants." Cody said.

"Perfect! Meet me at my place tonight, and give a little razzle-dazzle in it. Here is the address." he gave the kid a piece of paper. "And no double-crossing." he snarled.

"I won't." Cody promised.

"Good. Sorry to bother you guys, carry on with your meals." then the clown backflips out of the restaurant.

"He's a weird clown." Cody said

"That would be an understatement." Moxxie said. "Come on, you don't have to do this."

"Yeah, i'm sure Fizz didn't mean the threat." Tex said

"then why did he say it?"

"Because he can be quite the cruel joker." said Blitzo.

"Look, i know that you guys are looking out for me, and i thank you." Cody smiled. "But i have to fight my own fights. i can't rely on you guys forever."

"That's actually... true." said Loona. "But do you know what you are going to sing?"

"Actually..." Cody had another idea. "I do."

"That was fast." said Millie.

Deep down, Loona was worried about this and didn't want any sluts in that place to... have their way with Cody and molest him. But she knew Cody had little choice about this. "I hope you know what you're doing, Cody."

"I do." Cody said. "The sooner I sing over there, the sooner I can get Fizzaroli off my back."

"That sounds serious." said a familiar voice. Alastor came out from behind the booth and went up to the kid.

"Oh, it's you." Cody recognized him.

"Look Cody, I know you don't really trust me so much, but I can help you. I am the radio demon after all. And I know a perfect song you can sing."

"What's that?"

Alastor came close to the boy and whispered something in his right ear. As he whispered on and on, Cody knew where this was going.

"Oh yeah." Cody smiled. "I can sing that. I know that one really well, and I think Fizzaroli might like it too."

"What song?" asked Crystal

"You'll see." Cody smiled.
