The Human Hearted Imp

Chapter 27: Blitz's Date in the Botanical Garden

In the I.M.P office, work is done for the day, so everyone is doing some cleaning or last minute assignments before heading home for the night. Moxxie, Millie, and Razor are cleaning their weapons. Drew, Berry, and Blitz are tidying up the office. Randall and Loona are just sitting on the couch, looking at their phones and being lazy. Mimmy the cat is sitting next to Loona.

Millie sighs, "That was a busy day, wasn't it?"

"I have to admit, we did a lot of killing this week. Glad that it's the weekend," Drew says.

Then asks, "What are your plans?"

"Nothing much. Might ask Octava to hang out though," Loona answers.

"Yeah. Not much to do either," Randall says.

"Drew and I are going to the Lust Ring to visit our cousins. It's one of our cousin's birthday parties tomorrow," Berry says.

"Sounds cool," Razor says.

Then Berry turns to Blitz, "What do you, Moxxie, and Millie have plans?"

"Well, I uh, well, I do have something going on tomorrow, and well..." Blitz answers, blushing with embarrassment.

"What's up Blitz? Your face is turning red," Millie asks, confused.

Oh, it... it's nothing... I mean uh..." Blitz stammers.

Just then, Sarge says through the speaker, "Hey Blitz, can you come to my office for a bit to help with the paperwork. And Loona, can you come in for a bit."

"Okay," Blitz answers.

"Yeah dad," Loona says.

Blitz and Loona then walk into Sarge's office and close the door, leaving everyone confused.

"What was that all about?" Drew asks.

"I have no idea," Millie says, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, I for one find it kind of strange. I mean, I know he can be a bit flustered, but..." Moxxie explains.

But Berry interrupts him, "Speaking of strange, has anyone noticed Blitz has been acting odd recently?"

"Odd like how?" Razor questions, arching an eyebrow.

"Well for one, Blitz seems to be a little extra cheerful. I know he is a good Imp, and smiles, but he's doing it a lot more than usual," Berry explains.

"Hmm, Blitz did seem more happy. In fact, yesterday, I actually heard him singing while cleaning the office. I have to admit, Blitz was a pretty good singer," Drew says.

"Really. Did you record it?" Randall asks, interested.

Drew narrows his eyes, "No. Nor do I think Blitz will be okay with it."

"Still, who sings while they work?" Berry questions.

"I kind of..." Moxxie about to answer.

But Berry interrupts him," Perky demons, that's who. Blitz is being perky."

Millie then says, "Now that you mention it, Blitz acted weird when I walked into his room a couple of weeks ago."

Flashback:

Blitz is sitting on his bed in his bedroom. He is looking at papers: brochures, pamphlets, posters, and seems to be other kinds of advertisements. Some of them have beautiful tourist garden museums, observatories, planetariums, mineral or rock museums, and restaurants.

"Hmm, I wonder, which would he like? Would he want to go to a botanical garden museum, a rock and mineral museum, or a planetarium?" Blitz asks himself.
