Cody was glad to have straightened things out with Loona and he was watching some TV on his day off from school. "Don't you guys usually go out and kill people or targets most of the time?"

"Most of the time, yes." said Loona.

"But somehow, business is slow right now." said Blitzo. "Every business has its ups and downs, kid. It's not different down here in Hell." he took a sip of his cherry whiskey to drink. "But hey, something will come up. All we have to do is just wait for the perfect opportunity to happen. Like a king cobra waiting to bite an gaur in the grass." then he took another sip before looking at Loona. "So Loony, any plans for today?" before Loona could answer while on her phone, he burped in a very loud burp.

"Ugh! For Satan's sake, Blitzo!" Loona complained. "What the f- I mean, what the hell is wrong with you?" then she made a scowl

"What? It was just dying to be let out. You know what Shrek says: better out than in, Loona." he drank another few gulps of his drink, letting out another burp. "Ooooh yeah! That feels good, baby!"

"Good one, Blitzo." Cody commended him while clapping his hands a few times.

Blitzo flustered and smirked before saying: "Thanks Cody. At least somebody likes this stuff."

"Well, if you must know, you moron," Loona began answering his adopted fathers' simple question. "I'm going to look for cool clothes shopping with Octavia later on. There's a sale on black dresses and skull rings at Coat Hangers and Bloody Hangnails this week. I wanna get them before some stupid b- I mean, stupid girls get them before me."

"You know, you're good at censoring the cuss words." Blitzo pointed. "You're getting it hammered down."

"Better than you, that's for sure." Loona remarked flatly

"Hey, I can go through a whole day, no- a whole week without cursing up a storm." Blitzo sounded offended.

"And the innuendos?" said the female hellhound, not looking convinced.

"Absolutely!" Blitzo said. "I can stop doing innuendos in a week as much as I can stop cursing." he looked at the human boy, and then asked: "What do you think, Cody? Do you think I can go through a week without cursing or doing innuendos?"

"Honestly..." Cody said, "with how you drink so much, I would say no."

Blitzo made an offended gasp, and said: "He fu- I mean, flipping dare you! I can control myself."

"Look, can you guys just leave me out of this, please? I don't want to see you rip Blitzos' throat out, Loona." Cody begged

"Oh come on. Yeah Blitzo can be a big pain in my ass a lot of times."

"Hey!"

"But... he adopted me, and... I need to realize... no one else would have adopted me." she turned her head slightly in embarrassment, and Blitzo smiled in pure happiness to hear those words from her. "Come on, dude." Loona groaned. "Please don't give me that look

"Sorry. I'm just happy to hear those words." Blitzo pointed.

"Yeah yeah." said Loona with a sigh before looking at Cody again. "So you wanna go clothes shopping with me?"

"No thanks." said Cody. "I don't like clothes shopping as much as girls do." he perked his eyes after saying that, worried he was being sexist about what he said. "No offense, Loona. I mean, i'm a boy."

Loona just let out a small laugh and said: "No, it's fine. I understand. Blitzo, do you think you can keep an eye on him while i'm gone? Unless a client comes up?"

"Absolutely Loona." Blitzo said, cluthing the boy close to him in an uncomfortable hug. "Cody will be in good hangs with good ole, uncle Blitzy!"

"Right. just keep him away from alcohol."

"Got it."

"Well, I feel like I hang out with girls too much, and I haven't hung out with guys in a long time. Not that I don't like hanging out with girls."

"No, it's fine." said Loona.

The doorbell rang, and Blitzo went to answer it. "Oh, hey Mox. Where's Millie?"

"Say Blitzo, I was wondering if Cody would like to go get some ice cream." said Moxxie. "Just felt like doing something nice."

"Excellent!" Blitzo exclaimed. "Just what we need. And you didn't answer my question about Millie."

"She's helping her dad out with Demon pox for a few hours in the Wrath ring. She won't be back until evening." Moxxie pointed. "Satan knows what she's doing right now with her dad."

"Sometimes it's best not to know." Blitzo pointed. "But you must be all alone right now."

"Well, I was, until I came up here to ask Cody for some ice cream."

The boy smiled and replied: "Sure."

"Say, this gives me an idea." Blitzo said. "Loona is going girl shopping with Octavia and maybe we can have a day out with you, me, Cody, and Vortex as... a day out with the boys!" the leader of I.M.P hugged Cody's side again to show enthusiasm. Moxxie himself seemed to like the idea, and he smiled

"Ooh, it's been a while since I did a little hanging out with guy friends." Moxxie said.

"What about last week with taking out those Al-Queda marauders?"

"That was a mission sir, from a dead soldier from Tehran!" Moxxie pointed. "That's completely different."

"Right." Blitzo remembered. He pulled out his phone, and called the male hellhound for a guy outing. "Hey Tex, it's me, Blitzo! Say, are you busy?" he paused for a few seconds as the newest I.M.P employee responded to his question. "Ha! perfect! Say, how would you like to go out on an outing with us boys? Just you, me, Cody, and Moxxie together doing awesome stuff?" He paused again. "Whoo! Yay! We'll meet you at Wally's ice cream place. Yeah, yeah, ok. See you soon, Tex."

"Well, you guys have fun with your 'guy outing'." said Loona. "Make sure Cody is safe and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble, or else." she cracked her knuckles to Blitzo."

"Got it." said Blitzo. "He's in good hands."

"Good. See you soon, Cody. Have fun, and call me when there's trouble."

"OK, Loona."

The female hellhound went out the door to spend some time with Octavia.
