Meanwhile, Moxxie and Millie are exploring around the game booths.

Soon someone calls out that catches Millie's attention, "Hello, hello! Step right up and win a thing!"

Moxxie and Millie walks to the game booth to see the game,

Millie gasps in excitement, "Oh, look Moxxie! A thing!"

Moxxie looks to see the 'Thing' is some kind of purple stuffed penguin with black and white striped imp horns, and wears pink overalls.

"Oh, you like that thing?" Moxxie asks, seeing his wife interested in the doll.

Millie shouts with excitement, "YEEEEESSS! I don't really know what that thing is but I want that thing!"

With a smug look on his face, Moxxie pulls his bow tie and says, "Finally, something I can handle."

Moxxie then takes a dollar and passes it to the vendor, "Okay! One game, please!"

Millie smiles with excitement. As the vendor takes the piston out with his tail. Feeling confident, Moxxie aims the toy pistol at the target and fires it at the target. The cork hits a bullseye, but the target doesn't go down. Moxxie then blows the black powder smoke from the gun, pleased with his marksmanship.

Suddenly, the vendor says, "Strike one, little man!"

"But I hit it!" Moxxie protests.

"Hmmm, I don't know what to tell ya, buddy. The target, see? It didn't go down. So yeah, no go, bro," The carnie says.

Moxxie growls in anger and places another dollar on the table. He grabs the pistol and fires another cork, and that hits the target again, and yet the target won't budge.

"The Heaven's wrong with this thing?!" Moxxie angrily says, and slaps the piston

"Oh man, a real shame, I tell ya," The Carnie says and mockingly cries.

Moxxie hisses in rage and slaps another dollar on the table, "Another!"

Back at the show, Octavia is practically dying of boredom, same with Loona. Stolas, Keena, and Tilla are the only ones actually enjoying it. Blitz and Aurora however, are still having mixed feelings about it.

The robot jester continues to sing and dance, "-sing along with the Loo Loo band! Ev'ry boy, ev'ry girl, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man loves Loo Loo Land!"

The show ends with some technical difficulties with the machines falling apart, and Robotic Fizzarolli is having sparks come out of his neck.

Stolas happily claps as he says, "Oh hohohoho, how delightful!"

Octavia simply pulls her hat down, completely embarrassed.

Loona groans and mutters, "He's gotta be kidding."

Behind the tall Goetia, there's an imp armed with a knife while another has a gun. Before the two imps can react, Zak fires his sniper at one, while Zoey fires at the other with her pistol.

Seeing what happened, Keenan says, "I can see why your dad needed a bodyguard, huh."

"You have no idea," Octavia says.

"Yep. That's what happens when you're a royal," Ash says.

"Sounds frustrating," Aurora says.

Tilla happily claps and says, "Loo Loo. Loo Loo. Loo Loo."

"I can see that Tilla likes it," Loona says.

Octavia giggles, "It's actually cute when she says it."

"Loo Loo. Loo Loo." Tilla happily says as she happily claps her hands to the beat.
