Helluva Loud Adventures.
"The Dream Alternate: 17."

(I.M.P Headquarters. Imp City, Pride Ring.)

The whole meeting with the rest of I.M.P is done and right now Loona walks out of the room and she goes to check on her kids, but what she sees surprises her and she sees Leni in tears, Luan hugging Lynn and looking upset, and Luna hugging her baby brother and confused and Lori trying to calm down Leni.

The hellhound is alarmed by this and she goes over to her adopted human children. "Kids, what's wrong? Why is Leni crying? Girls?" she goes over to Luna, but the 4 year old backs away and she keeps her baby brother close and this confuses Loona. "Wait, what the heck is going on?"

Lori then explains. "Mommy, we heard you talking with the others, why are we even going back to our old home? It's a horrible place, and we don't have a house anymore, why do you want us to go back?"

Leni then wipes away her tears and yet she feels like crying once more. "Mommy... D-Did we do s-something wrong? W-Why would you w-want us to g-go back?"

Loona is surprised and she sees all of them don't look happy and more like close to being in tears, because they recall the conflict they had there months ago, the conflict against the people they once called their parents. Loona sighs and she kneels down. "Girls, trust me. The reason why we're going back is a good one, and I know what to do. Don't be afraid..."

"B-But... Everything was wrong there!" said Luna who now has tears. "We don't wanna go back, mommy. We don't wanna go back, it's a bad place! Please! D-Don't send us back! We promise w-we will do good, we won't be a p-problem..." She continues to sob, and this hurts Loona to see.

Lincoln is confused, and he too is gonna cry eventually, and Luna does the same and has some tears and she hugs Lynn, and she is also close to shedding some tears, and then Leni goes over and hugs Lori and then Lori hugs her back. Loona now sees, that this had turned from bad to

Velvet. Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie notice this and they can see that the jig is up and everything Loona had planned has turned bad real fast. Velvet deep down, feels hurt seeing them like this, being scared of returning to the place where it was horrible and such.

Loona sighs and then she goes over to them and in her human form. "Kids, come here. It's alright, nothing bad is gonna happen."

The children see her in this state, and so they all go over and embrace her and sob in her embrace, and this hurts Loona to notice how hurtful it is for them to be sent back home, but they misunderstand the real reason to go back and then Loona speaks. "Girls, we need to talk in my room." Loona manages to carry them all, into her bedroom.

The others see this and are concerned and then Velvet has an idea and she has her bag of ingredients and Blitzo notices her going to the break room. "What the fuck are you doing?"

Velvet continues to head to the break room. "To make something so delicious, that the kids will calm down and feel less sad."

(Inside Loona's bedroom.)

Loona and her adopted human kids are now on the bed and she speaks to them. "Girls, the reason why we are going back to the town you all once lived in, is because you all need a better life than this. A life to have a school with friends and grow up and have a better future."

"Living here in hell is not an easy task and we can't have you kids go around and be caught, we'd be in major trouble from someone who is more dangerous than anything we have come to know and recognize. I wanna keep you all safe, but with all of you here it is not easy or a good idea anymore. I see that now, well I have seen it for some time."

"The place we are going to is not the same as the house from before, I will make sure a new house is made and so that all of you can have some peace and quiet, and no other trouble. You have to trust me that I am doing this to give you guys a better life, and to keep you all safe. Do you all understand me?"

All of them are unsure about this, and they don't know what to think about this choice. Loona sighs and then she looks to all of them. "But, if you kids don't wanna go home, back to where you all came from. Then I understand."

Luna then looks to her baby brother, and he looks to Luna and smiles, and then he touches her face, and this makes her smile, and she can see what the hellhound is saying and then she speaks. "Okay, I think it does sound like a good idea now. Mommy, we need a new place to call... Home."

The others are surprised to hear this, but then Lori speaks. "The best thing we can do, is have a better time to be happy and a better schooling thing. We don't have much friends, and Velvet is the only one we have as a good friend. I wanna see this through as well, mommy."

Loona is surprised, though she understand why these two would side with her on the idea. Lori is the eldest and she is responsible, and Luna wants to keep her brother safe and see him happy. Loona then looks to the others. "Leni, Luan, Lynn... I need to know, what do you three think about this plan and choice?"

Leni is confused, but she sees that Lori and Luna have made the option to agree to this and then she thinks about where they are and what has been going on. "I think... I wanna see this new home, soon."

Luan is still hugging Lynn and she goes over with Lynn and then they both hug the hellhound, and she hugs them back. "We wanna be with you, and the others. We don't wanna be alone, mommy." Lynn also hugs her and snuggles close to the hellhound's furry embrace.

Loona smiles and then she looks to the others. "Then I guess it si settled. Soon, when the time comes. We will go to Royal Woods and live in the house. But, do you have any questions about this plan I made?"

Lori is the one who raises her hand. "Everyone thinks we're gone, how do we make sure the people don't know that we're still around?"

Loona then explains. "Stolas said that he can handle this, he has something that could help make the other folks see that all of us are new to the town and that no one else can ruin the lives we have or even meddle with what we do in Royal Woods."

Then Luna speaks. "Mommy, do we have to go and live in the place where we had a house with horrible people?"

Loona then speaks towards her 4-year old daughter. "We're gonna be inside of a new house, and not the same one. That old house is gone... But then again, we could find a better house instead of making one. Perhaps a new street and far from the place where the bad house was once, how about that?"

Luna smiles hearing this and so does Lori, and Leni and Luan, then Luna goes over with her baby brother and she hugs the hellhound and then Leni and Lori join in and the hellhound hugs them all and she places a small and loving kiss onto their foreheads with makes them all smile and giggle.

Then Lori speaks. "Thank you mommy, we'll be patient for when we are gonna go home. We'll all be patient." She then continues the embrace to the hellhound and Lincoln is liking this group family hug and it makes him feel as if he is being loved.

Loona sighs and she continues this hug. 'Well, looks like a new major change for the plan. But it's a good change, and it is for the best for the children. I wanna keep them safe and I will. No one is going to ruin the future we are gonna have and if they do... then I am gonna fucking kill them all!'

'Our lives will be changed forever soon, and we're gonna move there... When the day before Christmas comes, we just need to make this shit happen when the time comes, I will need some backup, and thankfully... I know where I can work to earn a living for us all. That or Blitzo might end up still handing me some cash to pay for some shit, I have to step up... Be a responsible mother, for my children.'

Just then, the door opens and Velvet comes in with donuts. "I have..." She then sees the touching moment between hellhound and her children, and so she backs up. "I'll come back later." Velvet then heads out of the room, and she uses her phone to take a picture of this.

(Reality.)

The night is still ongoing and the hellhound is awake and she is in the living room and she is feeling calm and relaxed, and she is not alone. Also there is her son, Lincoln. He is fast asleep, with his head on her lap and she smiles looking at the sleeping form that is her child.

'This alternate dream, heck my counterpart made the fucking right choice. I just hope they don't fall into some bullshit trouble or else things are gonna turn from bad to fucking bullshit real fucking fast. I wonder what else is gonna happen when they keep going.'

'The way things are now is closely imitated by our own counterparts in the dream, or vision, or whatever that dream-scape is called, whatever. At least we're together and strong and forged into many alliances that keep us from losing each other, and yet we have to be careful.'

Loona then yawns and so she removes Lincoln from her lap and then she lays down on the couch and then she pulls her son close and hugs him, and the boy returns the embrace and has a smile on his face as he embraces his hellhound mother, and this makes Loona smile and she closes her eyes and joins him in slumber.

But she didn't know that Verosika has seen this and she is touched to see where this has gone. 'Blitzo was right, that hellhound truly does care for her children, especially her first adopted child. The hellhound blood within them, is a true bond that keeps them together.'

'I swear that if some asshole tries to mess with them, then I will fucking make them regret to have ever met me.' Verosika then walks up the stairs and to the guest room where she is staying.

To be continued in the next chapter folks!

A/N: Loona's plans have been uncovered, but they will have to accept where they have to go, and though it is the same time, at least it is not the same street and that means they can spend their lives within Royal Woods, soon. Leave a review and tell me what you all think folks!
