Cody and Crymini got to know each other better as the boy and Loona's other friend sat on the sofa together. "So kid," said Crymini, "I'm sorry about what happened to your folks."
"It's ok, Crymini. These things happen without anyone realizing too late." Cody said. "Like what happened to Dimebag Darrell and how he died."
A great rage built up inside of Crymini. "I loved Pantera with all my heart before they broke up." she almost looked like she was going to tear up and cry from the thought of it. Then she looked angry with pure rage when she added: "The day Dime died, it just... shattered me like a thousand daggers lodged inside of me, even my pussy." Fire was burning in her eyes now. "And I hope that fucking Na- ah, I shouldn't day that bastard's name. He doesn't deserve it."
"Damn right he doesn't." said Loona, looking angry herself. "I hope he burns down here for eternity where he belongs."
"He should be on fire for as long as Hell shall live, and I want to just maul him as much as I want to make him feel the pain he gave Dimebag."
"Yeah!" Loona exclaimed. "Something like Prometheus, how his skin and liver grew back after the vultures eat them."
Cody looked a little scared of how angry these girls looked. "That Dimebag didn't deserve any of this."
"Ummm, guys?" Cody said, grasping a pillow in front of him like a comfort blanket.
"Yeah?" said both girls in unison. They looked at Cody who blinked two times in slight fear.
"Oh! sorry dude." said Crymini.
"I see you guys love Pantera so much."
"Yeah." Loona said. "How can we not? they are the Cowboys from Hell after all. And yeah, sorry for scaring you."
"It's ok. I told you I accidentally saw grandpa naked."
"Ugh." said Crymini. "That is scary. Ugh. just seeing geezers and crones in their birthday suits just makes me want to throw up my own blood."
"Same here." said Cody.
"Hey Loony I need to... Oh no, not you again." Blitzo came un the room while wearing his pajamas, which was a white tank top and some black boxers. "Fuck no!"
"Well, if it isn't Blitzo." Crymini sounded annoyed.
"The O is silent, thank you very much." Blitzo said. "Why is she here Loony?"
"What? One of my friends can't come here?"
"Fine." Blitzo groaned, and moved his face close to the aardwolf-like demon's face, shoving it. "just stay the fuck away from my drinks, you."
"Or what? you're gonna put me on your shit-list?" Crymini looked unamused.
"You were already on my shitlist before, Crymini. Next to Verosika Mayday."
"Stop it you guys." Loona said, getting between them. "Need i remind you there's a kid here for Satan's sake?"
"Sorry Cody. Me and Crymini here have quite a history for a few months."
"But it was his fault." Crymini sang. "He's the aggressor. He likes to get all 'in-your-face' at other demons."
"Well he's never did anything bad to me... so... I'm staying out of this." Cody admitted before getting some cola in the fridge.
"Heh, good idea." Crymini said. "Sometimes it's not worth it."
"And you don't listen to Verosika, do you?" Cody asked.
"Pfft, hell no!" Crymini nodded her head. "All pop music is shit to me."
"Good. Because she kidnapped me."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but Loona and the guys helped me saved her."
"That we did. And it think of it as giving her a big fat, middle finger at her." Blitzo said, giving the boy a gentle pat on the back.
"Well Cody, let me tell you, I like you."
"Even though I'm a goody two-shoes?" Cody asked
"Oh yeah. Charlie's a goody two-shoes as well, and I don't complain... much."
"She seems happier than the average demon." Cody admitted
"You can say that again."
"And don't be sad about Dimebag. He... died doing what he loved to do, right?" Cody tried to cheer Crymini up
"True. That is so true. I mean... he didn't see it coming."
"And we got so many other awesome guitarists. Like Zakk Wylde. You heard of him?"
"Oh yeah." said Crymini. "That guy is a total badass. Those muscles, how he plays the guitar, you know. Speaking of which, have you listen to his new Black Label Society album: Doom Crew Inc?"
"Yeah! It's so awesome!" Cody said.
Loona smiled, and realized that these two will probably get along just fine. Crymini seemed to like the kid a good deal, and, like Loona, she didn't really like a lot of people.
It was another good day at school for Cody, and he was waiting to be picked up by Loona, and the hellhound in human disguised appeared from behind him while he wasn't looking, and gently covered his eyes with her hands. "Guess who?" she sang.
"Ah, hey Loona."
"Hey. Had another good day, kiddo?"
"Uh-huh. But Bruce still freaked me out a little bit. I mean, he's like a zombie a little bit."
"Come on, he was a mean bully to you. And no one bullies a nice kid like you." she gently ruffled the kid's head. "I think the doctors did him a favor. Now he won't be able to bully you anymore. So anyway, Blitzo is... drunk again."
"Does he do this sometimes?"
"Most times." Loona rolled her eyes. "So you wanna eat out again?"
"Sure."
"Cool, where would you like to eat again?"
"Umm... Five Guys." said Cody
"Nice. OK."
They all walked over the a nearby Five Guys and they got themselves a decent burger to eat. Loona, being a hellhound has a big appetite and got herself a bacon double cheeseburger and loved the taste of the meat. Taking three sips of her soda, Loona got up and pulled out a cigarette.
"Will you be okay here for a second. I gotta take a smoke for a few minutes. Will you be ok here, buddy?"
"I'll be fine." said Cody. He took a sip of his own soda and as soon as Loona went out to get her smoke, it was just then those two agents from D.H.O.R.K came in the restaurant to have some food for themselves. Cody almost choked on his bite of his burger, and pretended to not notice them.
But it was too late, the two agents already caught sight of him, and went up to him. "Ah, hello again, kid." said the male agent. "It's been a little while"
"Yeah, how have you been?" asked Agent 2
"Just fine, thank you."
"Cody, right?"
"Maybe." Cody admitted.
"Well, we heard about what happened to the creator of Barney." Agent 1 said
"Yeah, and good riddance to her. I hate that show, and I hate that stupid dinosaur."
"Of course." said Agent 2. "Who wouldn't hate him. I doubt that lady will be missed by many anyway. However,"
"However what?" asked Cody
"We have a feeling that it was those demons we fought before." Agent 1 explained.
Cody's heart began pounding and said: "Who knows if it was them. Obviously, those guys cover their tracks well. Many criminals and bad guys who are smart enough do those kind of things. But.. I'm just nine years old. So who knows?"
"Who knows?" said Agent 2. She pulled out some kind of picture. "We think YOU KNOWS!" she flashed the picture they caught of him and Loona together in the human world one day, and it made Cody extremely scared.
Loona peeped through the window and said: "Oh fuck no, not these guys again."
