Loona the Caretaker

To Forgive Or Not To Forgive

Satan had a bold look on his face as always, after he pulled Cody out of the Skull, he had his arms crossed, and the kid looked like he was in trouble by the king of Hell. Looking to and fro, Cody said: "I'm terribly sorry King Lucifer. Please don't make moths lay eggs in my skin or pop out of my guts! I didn't do anything wrong!" What he got from reply in the king was another chuckle

"No, no, it is quite alright." Satan said. "It is perfectly fine. Curiosity is no sin itself, but always be careful with your curiosity. Besides, i already told you what it was."

"Right." Cody realized that he had a memory slipped through. "So this skull lets you see your memories?"

"Yes. Honestly, the punishments of Stalin, his watchdog, and Hitler are one of my favorite ones to look at, especially the screaming and the writhing as they were trying to swim out of the lava." he smiled to show how satisfied he was of condemning some of the most evil men to be tortured for all of eternity. Lucifer was quite the sadistic individual after all, being the chieftain of the fallen angels. "But anywho, here are the refreshments for your slumber party."

"Actually, it's a sleepover. Slumber parties are for babies."

"Ah. Sorry." Then the sound of a honking was heard, and a large black swan was waddling over to the two in a fast pace. This goose had fangs and it looked at Cody with its head tilting from side to side.

"Hey hey hey, Hugh." Lucifer said, "back away, this is a guest in my palace."

This goose made a honk noise and sniffed at the kid with his bill before waddling away. "Who is he?" Asked Cody

"That is Hugh. One of my pet geese in my royal garden. I have lots of ducks, geese, and swans as my own pets. For some reason, I have a fascination with ducks and related birds like that."

"Why do you like ducks and geese so much?"

"I honestly don't know why." Satan admitted. "There is just something about them that I really like. I even have a couple of them as my guard animals to ward off intruder. But no matter. You can carry this cooler of drinks to your sleepover right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Perfect."

The kid carried the cooler back to the sleepover where he found Blitzo being pummeled mercilessly by a bunch of pillows from his own adopted daughter. "We are so fucking sick of your pillow fights!" She exclaimed as she continued beating Blitzo with a pillow. "Why the fuck are you doing these annoying things?! And why do you announce them before you do them!?"

"I'm sorry!" Blitzo exclaimed. "I'm sorry! Ow!"

"I'm back." Said Cody.

"Ah, there you are." Said Moxxie. Loona immediately stopped pummeling Blitzo, leaving him dizzy. "What took you?"

"I got a little distracted by the skull."

"The Skull of memories?" Charlie said. "Oh no, you didn't see anything scary did you?"

"No." Cody said. "Can't be as scary as me being in the fire where mom and dad... you get it."

"Right..." Charlie said. "What did you see?"

"That leader of Russia and his general being sent to suffer forever."

"Ivan the Terrible?" Asked Vaggie.

"No, Joseph... Joseph... I can't remember his last name."

"Stalin?" Asked Blitzo, still sounding dizzy."

"Yeah that's the one."

"I'm sorry you had to see that." Said Charlie. "My daddy loves seeing his victims suffer so much he created a memory skull to look back at all the punishments he gave them."

"It's ok. I saw someone named Joseph Kony get sentenced to the lake of fire forever as I walked into Satan's chamber."

"The Ugandan warlord?" Asked Millie

"Yeah he just died and he was given eternal suffering." Cody said

"Well serves him right." Said Charlie. "He and his army did many evil things, especially to women and children. There is no way in Hell, no pun intended, that I would ever let him in my hotel!"

"What did he do to women?" Asked Cody

The others looked at him uneasily. "You don't wanna know, kid. Trust me. You don't wanna know."

"Ok."

"So here are the drinks."

"Alright!" Moxxie said

"Yasss!" Millie added with enthusiasm. They all enjoyed themselves with some non-alcoholic beverages from the cooler and they all watched another movie together.

This movie was Alien Vs Predator this time, and it was almost as awesome as the previous movie.

When that movie was finished, Charlie sat next to Cody as he was enjoying some leftover popcorn. "Sweetie, she said, "can I ask you something?"

"Sure, Charlie. What is it?"

"Are you ready to forgive Verosika yet?"

The kid frowned. "I don't know. She acts like a rich person who is a little nutty."

"So does my dad," said Octavia, "but nothing can be done about that, right?"

Cody chuckled. "True, but your dad didn't kidnap me, Octavia." Then he turned back to Satan's daughter. "I don't even see a reason why I should forgive her for kidnapping me in the first place, or treating me like a pet."

"She did save you and the guys from Martha and her crazy family, right?"

"Yeah but... trust can be a fragile thing. And... once it's broken, it can take a long time to fix."

"That's a good point." Said Loona.

"Well, I guess I can try and talk to her when she gets out of that rehab place. Besides, she might even look for me when she gets out anyway."

"No doubt she will." Said Octavia

"I say don't trust her at all." Said Blitzo. "She's an evil, conniving hussy. Never trust an evil hussy like Verosika Mayday!"

"Not helping, Blitzo!" Said Millie. "Just let the kid decide what he wants to do."

"Yes sir, it's nothing to do with you." Said Moxxie

"Well if she ever does kidnap me again, then you can just save me again." Cody looked at Loona in realization. "Vortex doesn't work for her anymore, so she's powerless without him."

"Very very true." Loona smiled. "She's nothing without Tex backing her up, or be her hellhound shield."

"Yeah." Cody was thinking again. "I guess she does find me, I can at least let her talk to me."

Blitzo wasn't convinced this was a good idea, being the pop star's shitty ex-boyfriend after all.
