Balin was just starting to regain his consciousness after fainting from the stench of Loona's bedroom, and soon found himself back in the living room with the I.MP gang and the Goetias.

As his vision came back, his eyes immediately went wide to see an animated version of his dream musician of his on the TV.

"Oh, thank Satan he's okay." sighed Via, as she was the one who tickled him awake with one of feathers.

"And just in time too." Blitzø said, pointing to the TV as Mystery Inc. introduced Halsey. "Isn't that just ironic?"

Balin slowly walked up to the TV to witness the moment up-close.

FRED - "Well gang, it looks like we have a real mystery on our hands."

DAPHNE - "And I can't believe we're in it with..."

MYSTERY, INC. - "Famous singer/Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum, pop maverick, Halsey!"

HALSEY - "Hehehe, actually, Halsey's my stage name. My real name's just Ashley."

"Wow..." Balin's eyes sparkled, as he let out a flushed giggle.

"Always a first hearing them not frying their vocal cords, ain't it, sport?" chuckled Blitzø.

"Uh-huh."

"Hmm... Devo + Amy = Halsey." Moxxie thought out loud, making everyone just snicker. He was expecting a laugh, but just shrugged, admittedly feeling hurt. "Close enough."

"Okay, guys, okay." chuckled Loona as she held the kid's hand away from the TV. "Sorry 'bout my room, kiddo. Guess Blitzø's too busy drinking his soda to do that."

Blitzø inaudibly gasped and huffed feeling offended by that, just like a child would.

"So anyway, while you have a crush on one pop-star," she held his phone in her hand close to him. "Another one still wants to know if you're available for... your first singing gig?"

"Umm..." Balin then looked up at Neptune and Marijiana both quickly nodding their heads and panting like the puppies they were, before he made his nervous but exciting decision.

"Sure. I'd be happy to perform for you, Bee."

"YAY!" the two hellhounds squealed as they picked up the boy for a nuzzling hug. He giggled from their ticklish fur as they then plopped him on the couch in between them for some more 'Scooby-Doo' time.

"See you later Bee!" Balin called out to his phone, still in Loona's hand.

"Later to you too, baby boy!" called Bee back, before speaking to Loona. "Thanks for the permit, girlfriend. I'd be happy to return the favour if you'd like."

"Yeah, don't." replied Loona, twirling her hair with a little anxiety. "I'm just... happy to be your acquaintance. You know? A-Anything for Tex."

It was true Loona had a special place in her heart for Vortex, like she did with Dylan right now, but her whole life, she's been different. And since meeting Balin, the care in her started showing her how different she was.

In Loona's mind...
