When he came to work, Danny didn't think he would be traveling to the wrath ring to protect Stolas during a festival called "The Harvest Moon Festival." He wore country clothes that involved red flannel and a straw hat. Out of all the things that were going on, one thing was on his mind. Loona. Last night's kiss still affected him.
Why can't I get over that kiss? It was a drunk kiss, nothing else.
On the other hand, Loona wasn't from the inside, as she tried not to look at Danny.
Dammit, this is just frustrating. Why the hell did I kiss him?
They arrived at Millie's family farm, and it seemed that her parents weren't too fond of Moxxie. Then I.M.P. meets the rest of the family and their new ranch hand, Striker. Danny felt something was off about the guy, but he'll keep his mouth shut for now. As the group explored the Harvest Moon Festival, Danny received a phone call. He looked to see if it was Tucker, and he answered it.
"Hey Danny, what are you up to?" said Tucker.
"At my job," said Danny.
"Oh, so you mean you're in hell now."
"Yep." Danny looked to see two demons fighting each other.
"Are you going to be alright?"
"I can handle myself."
"That's great."
"You know, you and Sam and I have to talk about this more at some point."
"I know it just feels so unreal."
"Tell me about it anyway. I'll talk to you later."
Danny then spotted Loona near a demon pig pit looking at her phone, and he mustered up. He went up to her.
"So Loona, how's it going?" said Danny.
Loona looked at Danny and tried not to think about what had happened last night. "Good, I guess in this country ass place."
"It's not that bad here."
"You're just being nice."
They didn't talk for a moment and only looked at each other with the drunken kiss that kept going through their heads until Loona had enough.
"Look, let's cut through the B.S. and get to the problem between us."
"That you kissed me last night."
"Exactly, and look, that was a drunk kiss, okay, nothing else."
"I know that, but don't know why I kept thinking about it."
"Maybe because a girl actually kissed you."
"Hey!"
"My bad."
Danny groaned. "Look, let's try to forget about it alright."
"You read my mind."
Loona and Danny looked at the pig pit, and Loona thought something funny and laughed.
Danny asked, "What's so funny?"
"Could you imagine if you and I dated?" said Loona.
"Yeah, no idea how that works."
"I know, right? Your parents would hate me."
"And Blitz would probably skin me alive."
"Also, the fact that you're some hybrid and I'm a hell hound would never work."
"Totally."
Loona and Danny looked back at the pig pit. However, Danny noticed Loona looked at him for a moment and shook her head. Then look back at the pig pit. Later, Danny used the bathroom when he got out and met up with Striker.
"What's your name, kid?" Striker said.
"Danny."
"You're a bit different than the imps I met."
"Really." Danny crossed his arms.
Yeah, I can't put my finger on it, but something tells me there's more to your story."
"Um, okay, look, I've got to go.
"Before you go off, I do have some advice for you."
"What's that?"
"Have a mean strike. It'll last you longer in this business." Striker walked by Danny and went into the bathroom.
I still don't trust that guy. Danny thought
At the height of the festival, Stolas has begun to give moonlight from the earth to the crops. As Danny watched, his phone buzzed, and Loona texted him.
Striker trying to kill Stolas at the farmhouse
Danny rushed to the farmhouse only to be over, and Striker jumped out of the window.
"Well, took you long enough," said Blitzo
"Loona just texted me," said Danny
"Hm must have a slow text," said Loona, who shrugged
"Whatever that Striker dick is dealt with," said Blitzo
"Yeah, I think that would be the last we see of him," said Danny
"Probably," said Blitzo
Danny returned to his world at night but forgot to get out of his farm clothes, so he had to walk home in them. But then he ran into Valerie.
"Danny, why are you dressed like a farmer?" said Valerie
"It's for my job," said Danny
"You have a strange job?"
"You don't know the half of it."
As Danny walked off, Valerie did notice a satanic symbol on the back pocket of Danny's jeans.
What the hell is going on with Danny? Valerie thought
