Loona took this as an opportunity to change into her human form just in case someone sees her in her true form. "So Lincoln, I can call Blitzo to show you a little more of hell and-"

"Lincoln!" Said Lynn, opening the back door. "I got an idea on what we should prank Luan and-" she paused when she saw Loona. "Whoa? Who's this?"

The disguised hellhound pouted and looked away, not really wanting to meet her or the rest of Lincoln's family. After all, she wasn't exactly a people Helllhound. She crossed her arms and made a groan in response. "Hey Lynn." Said Lincoln, "This is Loona."

"The one you told us about yesterday?" Said Lynn with her eyes widened in realization.

"Maybe." Loona rolled her eyes again.

"Awesome!"

"Well, since the cat's out of the bag," Lincoln said, "I guess you should meet my family."

"Oh goody." Loona sarcastically said. "Being welcomed with open arms. Yeah, that's a nice way to be introduced to people."

"Come on, Loona." Lincoln said. "You saved me from those muggers. So I think you should return the favor."

"Ok, I'll do it." Said Loona. "But don't do the puppy eyes on me."

"Why would I do that?"

"Just a thought."

So Loona went inside the house and there were the parents, who looked a little unnerved by Loona's kinda scary appearance for being goth. "Oh, who's this, honey?" Said Rita

"Mom, dad, this is a new friend of mine, Loona. With two Os and not one U." Lincoln said.

"A pleasure to meet you, miss." Lynn Sr tried to shake her hand, but Loona moved her hand away from him.

"Nope. Sorry to break it to you, but I hate being touched."

"Oh. I understand." Said Lynn Sr.

"I'm Rita, Lincoln's mother."

"Yeah, hey."

the other sisters came in and went to greet her. "Ooh, I love your hairstyle, girl." Luna said. "Do you you listen to rock and metal?"

"It's two of my favorite genres, kid." Said Loona

"So you're the one who saved Lincoln yesterday?" Asked Lori.

"Yep. I couldn't just leave him to die." Loona tried to sound as flat in her voice as possible."

"So why is your hair like that?" Said Lola. "Did you dye it like that?"

"Yep." Loona lied. "I died it like this to look so awesome."

"Why don't you dye it pink?" Said Leni. "That's the most beautiful color."

"More like the gayest color." Loona said. "Do I look gay?"

"Yes." Said Lucy. "Finally! Someone who understands."

"Pink is not gay!" Said Lola. "It is beautiful like myself!"

"Aren't you a little too young to be a prostitute?" Loona raised her left eyebrow.

The others looked surprised at this response. "Oh no she did not, Man." Said Luna, fearing what would happen next.

Lola's left eye was twitching with shock and Lana looked afraid too. "Lola," she said, "come on, take it easy."

"Although, you should get a muzzle over your face." Loona added

Suddenly, Lola got really infuriated and tried to Attack Loona like a rabid cat. Luckily, Lana and Lynn her her back by grabbing her,

"Lola! Stop! Keep it together, man!"

"I'll show you underaged slut, you piece of-!"

"Lola!" Lynn Sr barked. "Calm down right now!"

While struggling and looking infuriated, the bratty girly-girl twin ultimately gave into her fathers' orders with a huff.

"But she called me a b-"

"Don't say that word, honey." Said Rita. "This is a cuss-free house, remember?"

"Is she ok?" Asked Lynn Sr. "Is she having a bad day? Or what?"

"Most of the time, old man," said Loona. "I'm always having a bad day."

"Well, can you please not curse so much?" Said Lori. "There's literally a baby in this house."

"Ok, sorry." Loona crossed her arms. "Look, I'm just not that big of a people person. That's all. I just love being alone."

"So you live a solitary lifestyle?" Asked Lisa, "like a honey badger?"

"Yes! Exactly what it's like."

"But don't you ever get lonesome?" Asked Lana

"Well, I do have... a roommate, but he is so suffocating and annoying."

"You want my advice?" Said Luna. "Never trust a freeloader."

"Heh, I know that." Said the disguised hell hellhound.

The family sisters introduced themselves to Loona, and the disguised Hellhound looked rather annoyed. "I didn't ask for your names, but thanks anyway."

"So where do you come from?" Asked Lana

"Ummmm..." Loona didn't know the kind of lie she should tell the family.

"Hazeltucky!" Lincoln blurted. "She's from our beloved sister city. Right Loona?"

"Yes! What he said." The hellhound decided to go along with it.

"Oh yeah, I got my eye on you, lady." Lynn said. "Last time I tried to take on your basketball team, me and my friends got beaten in shame."

"LJ!" Said Lynn Sr. "Sorry about our daughter."

"She still has a grudge against Hazeltucky." Rita added.

"Ah, I'm used to insults. I've been called worse anyway."

"She scary." Lily pointed out

"Lily!" Said Lisa. "That is rude behavior."

"I'm being used to call that, too." Loona said.

"Honestly, you got beautiful clothes." Said Leni. "I mean those short pants on you, the bra,"

"It's not a bra. It's just my shirt, that's all. But if either one of you touch me here, I will kill you."

"Well, we understand you are a bad girl." Said Lucy

"Yep. Remember that."

"We'll do you think, next time... can you please wear different clothes?" Asked Rita

"Oh what's the matter? Do I look to scary for you?"

"No, but we think it's best if you wear more... decent attire, especially in front of our kids."

"Sorry guys" said Loona. "But I wear what I want, when I want. And besides, I'm wearing long socks if that helps censor me."

"And your eyes." Said Lucy. "Are they always red?"

"Ooh, and look at those teeth." The rocker girl pointed. "Looking sharp and pointy. Are you like a vampire?"

Loona couldn't help but laugh at that. "A vampire? Come on. If I was a vampire, I would just turn to dust by the sun."

"Well I don't like your attitude." Said Lola

"Well boo hoo for you." Said Loona. "You'll get used to it. Look, is this going to take long? I would like to just spend time with Lincoln?

"That's fine." Said Lynn Sr. "If you're going out for a whole day with him, please bring him back before curfew."

"Don't worry, he'll be back before bedtime."

"Hey, here's a joke." Said Luan.

"Ugh if these little bitches don't stop talking." Loona thought in her head. "Fine, what is it?"

"What do you call a fat goth? A girth!" Luan laughed after. "Get it?"

Loona couldn't help but clap her hands sarcastically. "Bravo. Lamest joke I ever heard."

Luan pouted: "well you're not the only one to be annoyed by my puns and jokes."

"She's right." Lana said.

"So Lincoln, I met the circus, wanna do something?"

"Circus?" Said Leni.

"That's a bit of an overstatement." Lori added.

"Well sure Loona, anything's better than being Lynn's football dummy."

Why did you save Lincoln?" Asked Luna in a curious voice.

"Well, he was about to be killed by those muggers, and I couldn't let him die. And don't get the wrong idea. We're not even friends."

"And yet you decide to save him from being brutally murdered by those goons." Lisa pointed.

"Oh shut up." Loona rolled her eyes once more. "So come on, I'll show you a cool place."

"Right behind you, Loona." Said Lincoln.

As Loona went out the front door, he was stopped by his parents. "Lincoln, we know that she saved you, but maybe she's not the best kind of person to hang out with."

"Why not?" Lincoln frowned.

"Because she seems a little rude and nasty. Especially with what she said to Lola."

"And no one calls me a... dog and gets away with it." Lola angrily remarked.

"Look, Loona is a good person. All you have to do is warm up to her."

"Well, I know you mustn't just a book by its cover," said Rita, "coming from a writer. OK, Lincoln."

"Just be careful." Said Lynn Sr

"I will." Then Lincoln headed out the front door to hang out with the hellhound again. "Sorry, Loona," he said to her. "They just wanted a brief word with me."

"Don't sweat it. I mean, family can be annoying."

"Tell me about it. So where are we going?"

"I want to show you something." Said Loona. She pulled up her phone and called her adopted father. "Hey Blitzo, can you open the portal again, please? I got Lincoln again." She paused. "No I' not going to kill him, are you fucking crazy?" Again, she paused. "Yeah I just wanted to show him my room. That's all."

It took a little while, probably around a minute or two, but the portal from before came back on.

"Thanks, Blitzo." She hung up the phone. "Ok, come on, before someone sees us."

"Got it." They both went through the portal from Earth to Hell, and Lincoln looked around at Loona and Blitzo' apartment. He noticed how Loona's door had a "Keep Out!" Sign on it, indicating that she never allows anyone in her room at all." He looked a little nervous of going in there, "Are you sure it's ok for me to go in your room?"

"Yep. But never go in there without me, and don't touch anything, ok?"

"OK." Lincoln said as he entered the bedroom. It smelled like wet dog hair a little, and one of her pillows was chewed up by her by possibly a rage attack. It was not very clean in this room, but the hellhound didn't care about that. He noticed the metal band wallpapers on her wall and he knew that she was a heavy metal fan. "Wow this a... nice room you have."

"Sorry it's not a mansion." Loona sang. "So I wanted to give you something just because." She pulled into one of her drawers as her large, fluffy tail was wagging to and fro in a slow and graceful manner.

It looked so fluffy and beautiful look. Far more beautiful and longer than a fox would have.

"So Lincoln, I hope you like-" before she can finish her sentence, she paused and turned to look at Lincoln snuggling her fluffy tail

"So soft." Said Lincoln as he was cuddling it like a teddy bear. The hellhound looked annoyed and had her arms crossed, and picked the boy up with her tail, having him in front of her.

"Uhh, does this look like a fucking petting zoo to you, Lincoln?" She asked him. "Huh? Just tell me the truth."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Loona." He immediately let go and landed on the ground with his feet. "It's just so fluffy and soft."

"Like I've never heard that before." Said the female hellhound. She grabbed Lincoln by the back of his orange polo shirt and landed his ass on her bed, then she sat down next to him. "Now, the next time you decide to snuggle my tail like that, I will bury you. Is that clear, Lincoln?"

"Yes, we're so clear. Clear as glass." Lincoln looked scared. Sure this Hellhound saved him from being killed, but she still looked like a loose canon. Last thing he wanted was to be mauled to pieces by her.

"Ok ok, I believe you." She pulled out a CD from her drawer and added: "Here, Order of the Black by Black Label Society. I bought it yesterday and I was going to give it to you yesterday, but shit just came up by my coworkers"

"Thanks Loona." Said Lincoln gratefully. "I'll listen to this album.

"you'll love it, trust me."

"I'll take your word for it." Lincoln smiled. It was silent in her bedroom for a moment.

Ultimately, Loona asked: "You ok? You seem quiet."

"I'm sorry. I just still can't believe I was saved by a real Hellhound."

"Yeah, I know. It's so much to take in." Loona sang. "So about your family, it's kind of a circus if you ask me."

"Heh, tell me about it." Lincoln smirked. "But I love them. And I still think you're lucky to just have one family member in your life. That way, it's not as loud."

Once again, Loona chuckled. "Like I mentioned before: easier said than done. Blitzo is a fucking freak."

"Ok. So Loona, can I ask you something?"

"As long as it's not so much questions. I'm not one to answer so much shit in one setting."

"It's just one." Lincoln promised. "So you guys are a group of mercenaries or bounty hunters?"

"Nah, mercenaries stick around people so much for money, and bounty hunters go their own way. But we're assassins, or contract killers. We just get paid to kill someone by an unlucky loser that wants him or her dead."

"Wow. Well, if someone wanted me dead, you wouldn't actually kill me, would you?"

"No." Said Loona. "I know I've only just met you, but you seem like a goody two-shoes."

Lincoln sighed in relief. "Good."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Loona made a groan. "Gah, who the fuck is that?" Then she looked at Lincoln, still holding the CD. "I'll be right back. You might want to stay here just to be safe, and don't touch anything, ok?"

"Ok."

He just sat on the bed, and looked at this badass CD the hellhound girl gave her.

"Oh, Tex, how's it going?"

"Hey Loona." It was Vortex, the gentle giant Hellhound and Loona's first ever friend she ever made (since Blitzo doesn't really count as one). "How are you?"

"Just fine."

"Cool. So I wanted to give you back the brush you let me borrow."

"Oh yeah, that's right." Loona remembered.

"Anything new going on?"

"Nah, come on in."

Tex did just that and set foot inside the apartment.

"I was just giving a present to a... almost cool human kid."

"That's nice. Wait, is this the kid you saved yesterday?"

"That's the one. He's in my bedroom."

"A human in hell, eh?" Said Tex

"Yeah but he's just visiting."

"Nice."

Loona led her own friend to her bedroom where Lincoln was still gazing at his Cd. "Lincoln, I'd like you to meet my friend. Vortex."

"Whoa." Lincoln looked a little afraid and intimidated by the male hellhound's muscular and tall appearance. He thought that tough would be too girly to describe this cool guy."

"This is Lincoln Loud. The one I saved from those muggers."

"A pleasure to meet you, kid." Said Tex. He knelt down on one knee to get better contact with him since he was a giant demon after all. He lifted his right arm for a proper handshake from his beefy hand.

"Likewise." Said Lincoln, shaking hands with him.

"Look I know I look scary and intimidating, but look, I'm a really nice guy."

"I have heard of the term 'gentle giant' before." Lincoln remembered.

"Right. Exactly. Something like gorillas. Sure they look scary and intimidating, but they behave like other animals. If you want dangerous, chimpanzees are the ones who are dangerous."

Lincoln chuckled. "I know that. I've heard about that poor woman who almost lost her face after being attacked by a chimp. That's why I will never buy a chimpanzee."

"Good." said Tex. He looked at the CD Loona gave him. "ooh, Black Label Society huh? Love these guys! Zakk Wylde is da man!"

"Thanks. I hear from my sister that Zakk Wylde is joining a Pantera reunion show." Lincoln said. "I don't really listen to Pantera that much, but they sound cool."

"You know, I heard about that too." said Tex. "Kinda more like a reunion show. But if Dimebag was still alive, it would have been awesome. But Zakk Wylde is so awesome and badass."

"The drummer from Anthrax is going to be in the reunion shows. I wonder if they'll make an album."

"Now that would be awesome." said Tex. "Pantera was the shit back in the day." then he turned his attention back to Lincoln. "So yeah, i'm a nice guy, and a good friend of Loona. She's quite the person, isn't she?" Loona couldn't help but blush at Tex's kind words.

"She is." said Lincoln.

"So how did you and Loona meet?" asked the male hellhound.

"Well I was getting some juice from my dad at the local juice shop. I met Loona and she just asked me about my white hair." Lincoln began to explain. "Then these three turds grabbed me in an alley and jumped me, tried to mug me from my money. So that's when Loona came to save me from those guys, and he was a savage beast in taking them out."

Vortex sounded intrigued. "Are you hurt?"

"The leader punched me in the stomach. But i suffered worse pain, especially from my sister Lynn."

"Oh yeah." Loona remembered. "You should see his family. Let me tell you, Tex, what a circus it is."

Tex let out a small chuckle. "A circus?"

"Kind of. "It's not easy living in a house with ten sisters."

The male hellhounds' eyes went wide with astonishment. "Ten sisters? God, how do you survive that?"

"It's never easy, but I learn to get by."

"His sisters are all different. One is a rocker, one's a scientist, one's a jock, shall I go on, Tex?"

"Nah, you've made your point." Then he looked back at Lincoln again. "Well you're one cool kid, Lincoln" he gently patted his white hair. "Though, if you don't mind me asking: what's with the white hair?"

"Nope, it's ok. A lot of people ask me that." Lincoln sighed. "It's just hereditary." Then he thought of something. "Well, should I die it a different color? So I don't have to look like an outsider?"

"Whoa whoa whoa, we never said you were in outsider, Lincoln." Said Loona. "It's your hair and I wouldn't think any less of you."

"Yeah, we're just curious." Vortex added

"Ok. I'm glad to have a friend like you, Loona." Lincoln smiled

"Whoa there, let's not get too ahead of ourselves, jr."

"So Lincoln, we should hang out some time." Tex suggested.

"I would love that. And all hellhounds can turn to humans, right?"

"Yep. I can blend in just fine in the human world."

"Any hellhound can fit in human society as long as they got their disguise setting."

"Good." He looked at the gift CD again. "If any demons here see me, will they kill me or eat me?"

"Well, it's kinda best to keep a low profile down here in Hell. Lincoln." Said Loona. "Police don't really exist down here. And no one gives a fuck about cars being clean down here."

"Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me." The kid sighed. "I know this isn't the best place to make friends."

"Well Lincoln," said Tex, "how would you like to come to one of my girlfriends' Hellhound parties? I'm sure Eclipse wouldn't mind."

"Even if I'm a human?"

"Ah she'll party with anyone. She's very friendly and gregarious."

"but wait a minute," said Loona. "What if he gets hurt by anyone? Gets into a fight with a drunk fuckwad? Or gets high on drugs?"

"Oh my parties aren't that rough... ok, there was a stabbing, but it was one time."

"Stabbing?" Said Lincoln

"Look, kid, I'm glad you and Vortex are hitting it off, but you're too young to go to that party."

Lincoln likes parties, but he might understand why he shouldn't go to that kind of soirée. "Well kid, enjoy your new album and rock out to it."

"I will."

"See you soon, Tex." Said Loona.

"Bye." The male hellhound left and Lincoln was alone with the female hellhound.

"He's a real nice guy."

"Yep. Tex is one of a kind, isn't he?" Loona agreed. She sat down on the bed with him and kept him close. "Now don't get any ideas about being a cuddle-muffin with my tail again,"

"Loona, I promise, I won't do that again."

"Unfortunately, that doesn't always stop many retards. Words can be useless."

"I swear on my great grandma Harriet's grave."

"Ok, ok." Said Loona. "I believe you. And hey, I bet some girl demons down here might think your adorable."
