"Hey, Moxxie! Moxxie! Moxxie!"
"What do you want, Jake?" Moxxie murmured, glancing down at the impling with an irritated frown. Jake had that insufferable grin on his face, which meant he was up to something.
"Do you know what day is it today?"
"Annnoying Moxxie day?"
"No, silly! That was yesterday!" Jake pointed to the wall calendar marking June 5th. It was adorned with crudely-drawn pony doodles and big red letters that read 'employee of the month announcement. "Blitzo will tell us who the employee of the month is!"
"Employee of the month!" Millie cried out happily. "I wonder who it'll be this time!"
"I don't know." Moxxie said sarcastically. He frowned at the 'employee of the month' wall depicting Striker's framed photographs. Some of them seemed to have been taken at his house without his knowledge. The one from last month was of him sleeping.
Striker chuckled from the couch. "Ye sound jealous, Moxxie."
"I'm not jealous! I merely find it unfair that you're the only one on the stupid wall!"
"That ain't true. Mildred, Jake, and Loona have been picked a couple of times before."
"Oh, don't worry, Mox," Jake smirked, wrapping an arm around Moxxie's shoulder. "It's not like bein' the only one to not have been picked as employee of the month is embarrassin' or anything."
"For your information, I'm not the only one who's not on the wall. Bombproof's not there."
Blitzo burst out of his office at that moment, grinning big to ear. "Hey, guys! Guess who won the title of employee of the month this time!" Blitzo hung the frame on the June sticker. Moxxie's gaped as he saw the blurry picture of a familiar horse. "Bombproof!"
"Oh, what the fuck?!"
