It was nice to be at Wally's little ice cream parlor once again. Cody, Blitzo, and Moxxie were making themselves comfortable at a booth on the far side of the parlor to talk to one another, and waiting for Tex to arrive. "So Cody, when was the last time you hung out with guys before?" asked Blitzo curiously

"Well, it was three years ago. I was having a slumber party with Kyle and my friends." the boy admitted. "I know, it's lame. Just don't tell other demons I said that. They'll think I'm easy prey for them to eat or kill."

"Nah, you're just a kid." Moxxie said. So, it wouldn't surprise me if you went to a slumber party. I mean, you were six years old." he looked around the area. "And don't worry, our lips are sealed from any meanie demons around here. Your secret is safe with us."

"Yep. I would never expect less from a kid like you." Blitzo added. "And Moxxie, you know we have the weapons and most demons don't, right?"

"I know that better than anyone else, sir." Moxxie rolled his eyes. He peeked out one of the windows and saw the large, hulking male hellhound come inside.

"Hey guys!" Tex called out before sitting with them. "What's happening?"

"Not much." said Blitzo.

"How are you, Cody?" he gently ruffled the boy's hair

"Good. Loona is hanging out with Octavia with girl stuff."

"Ah. I know girls need girl time every once i in a while. But hey, it'll be fun to be with just us guys, right?"

"Yep!" Cody smiled.

"Where's Millie?" Vortex couldn't help but ask.

"She's taking care of her sick dad in the Wrath Ring." Moxxie said. "And thank Satan I'm not with her right now."

"What? her parents hate you?" Tex asked

"Hate me? They'll make a Christmas dinner out of me if they had the chance." Moxxie said. "I just want their approval for once. I want them to see how happy Millie is with me. Not saying they are trying to keep her away from me."

"Tch. in-laws." Blitzo said. "Am I right?"

"Ugh. Tell me about it." Tex rolled his eyes. "I remember how much Eclipse' parents hated me when they first met me. Though I think they were afraid of me too."

"Why is that?" asked Moxxie

"Simple, I'm bigger than them." Tex said.

"Well I'll get the ice cream for us." Blitzo got out of the booth. "But first, just tell me what you all would like so I can order it for you all."

Everyone did just that and Blitzo walked up to Wally to tell the entrepreneur demon what he and his cronies wanted to have from the menu.

"Sure thing, Blitzo. Ice cream a la mode." Wally said before fixing up the sundaes the group of four males wanted to have. "Et voila!" Bltizo came back with a tray of delicious sundaes. Moxxie had a chocolate sundae with sprinkles and a banana on top, Vortex had a seven scoop sundae of vanilla, mint, chocolate, strawberry, Birthday cake, moose tracks, and triple brownie covered with chocolate syrup and sprinkles, and a side of blood and bacon on it.

Blitzo had a sorbet with blood sauce on it and Cody just had a mint sundae with three scoops and sprinkles on it to eat. The taste of their desserts were so good and they all enjoyed it.

"Ah!" Cody clasped the veins on the sides of his head.

"what is it?" asked Vortex in a worried tone of voice.

"Brain freeze!"

"Ohhhhh!" the three demons cheered. "Yeah baby!" Blitzo said before beginning to eat his ice cream rapidly. "Gah! Christ with a strap-on!" he exclaimed. "Yeah that is brain freeze for ya."

Moxxie couldn't help but take a try in the little brainfreeze competition himself and he screamed like a banshee, and even wriggled on the ground like a fish out of water after being reeled in by a fisherman in Cape Cod.

"Ha! Look at you, Moxxie!" Blitzo laughed at his employee's usual misfortunes. "You look like a snake wiggling in agony. aor being electrocuted."

"If Loona was here," said Tex, "she would he laughing her ass off."

"Well she's not here right now, Tex." Cody pointed.

"Oh I know. I was just making a point." he pulled out his phone to record Moxxie's little seizure from his brain freeze.

Cody himself thought it was a little funny and it was then Moxxie recovered from his little spaz attack. "I'm ok." said Moxxie

"Really?" Cody smirked. "It looked like you were having a seizure or epilepsy attack."

"No, just brain freeze." Moxxie reassured. They continued eating their ice cream and when they were all finished, they let out a loud burp after eating their desserts.

Tex was the one that let out the biggest belch, patting his belly three times. "Ooh, nice one Tex." said Moxxie.

"Thanks. If my girlfriend were here, she would tell me to stop it or cut it out. But hey, I'm a guy and it's normal guy behavior to burp whenever you feel like burping."

"I know." Cody let out a small burp of his own just for the fun of it."

"Ooh, good one." Blitzo said. "For a kid that is."

"Thanks." Cody said. "So Tex, how are Crystal and Serena doing?"

"Just fine. They're just hitting the spa right now."

"Can guys go in spas?" asked Blitzo. "Gah I forgot."

"they can." said Moxxie. "They don't discriminate against gender. it's not like restrooms."

"True. Ah, who am I kidding, Moxxie? There is de facto segregation of demons in many parts of hell. The worst part of it is, no one gives a flying fu- i mean, feather about that kind of injustice."

"Let it go, Blitzo. Down here, it's every man for himself in some situations. God obviously can't help us down here since it's the opposite of him."

"Yeah, good point." He asked everyone for some seconds and his three cohorts said yes to him, and Blitzo got second sundaes for him and the others to endure.

While eating, Tex said: "so Cody, I heard Verosika tried to apologize to you again?"

"She did." Cody admitted in an annoyed voice. "I told her to just leave me alone and let me think if I should forgive her or not." he took a bite of his second mint sundae. "Why can't she just leave me alone?"

"That girl just has trouble with the word 'no' sometimes, being a popstar and all." Tex said. "She has a reputation for getting her own way."

"Haha! newsflash." said Blitzo with a scoff. "She'll do anything to get what she wants, no matter how many people try to stop her."

"Well, she decided to leave me alone, finally. It's like she's finally listening to me." Cody pointed.

"Let's hope so." said Moxxie. "I'd hate to think she is pretending so she can kidnap you again."

"Don't jinx it, Moxxie." Blitzo dang before pulling out a spritzer bottle of piss and spraying at Moxxie three times with it. "You always jinx things up for everyone."

"Come on, give him a break." said Tex.

"oh, I'm just messing with him, Tex. He needs to learn how to take a joke."

"So after this, what do you guys wanna do next?" asked Cody

"Well, we could do laser tag at the arcade." Tex suggested."

"Ooh, good idea." said Cody. "Sure, we can go laser tagging after this. They all ate their second courses of ice cream and Blitzo paid for the rather expensive tab for Way to receive as the proper payment for the desserts. Wally bid them temporary goodbye, and he knew they would be back one day. The arcade was as busy as ever and many kids were playing on the games and the sounds of cheering and screaming were heard. Cody was ready to try some laser tag and the four males were were waiting in line for the next round. When the time came, they were put in different colors.

Yes, they were having a blast playing laser tag together, one on one. Despite how successful he was in real firearms, Moxxie seemed to be only second place behind Cody, but in front of Blitzo, and in front of Vortex, who is slowly catching up to Blitzo in this match.

It appeared: that despite that Vortex having large muscles and mostly using his beefy fists, arms and legs and claws, the burly male hellhound seemed capable of using firearms as well.

"Gotcha now, Cody!" said Tex playfully.

He was about to shoot Cody's center green chest plate that glew a pretty green light when shot at, but Cody was quicker and slid on the floor, right on his knees.

It gave the human boy the perfect moment to shoot at Tex with his laser blaster in the hellhound's grey chest plate, ending the round and moved on to the next round.

Once again, Cody was first place in the round. Deep down, he wished he was a hellhound again so he can get some athletic abilities like he did the first time before. Alas; it was only temporary.

Nonetheless, he was having fun with this, along with the rest of his guy friends.



Loona and Octavia were having a little girl time and looking at some black skirts and dresses to wear. The female hellhound looked a little worried, but she didn't want to show weakness to Octavia and other demons around her. Yes, she still wanted to show her usual tough exterior to everyone around her.
She just had a usual blank expression on her face and looked at her phone once in a while like she would normally do.
"So Where is Cody?" asked Octavia
"Hanging out with the guys. Just having some boy time with Blitzo and Moxxie."
"Ah. I wonder how they are doing."
"Yeah, me too. But boys need boy time once in a while." Loona pointed flatly.
"True. Just like girls need girl time everyone once in a while." Octavia said.
"Though I do worry about leaving him like this. Cody i mean."
"You miss him already?" Octavia asked
"What? No, don't be retarded. It's only been about an hour and ten minutes."
"It's perfectly fine if you miss him." said Octavia with a smirk.
Loona growled and said: "yeah, whatever."
