Lincoln was in his swimming trunks and was ready to take another dip in Verosika's nice hot tub. Loona was in her hot black two-piece swimsuit as well, and Blitzo was in his trunks, although he was not really happy to be here. Yes, the male imp had his arms crossed and sulked as he was looking around at his surroundings. "Why so glum, Blitzo?" asked Katie. "You should be happy to be here and about to enjoy some fun shit with my sister."
"Pfft, i wish i can believe that." Blitzo doubted rudely. "If it involves my shtty ex-girlfriend, then no good shit can come out of that."
"Well... you weren't very nice to my sister when you guys were still dating." Katie pointed out. "Maxing out her credit card and spending them on fucking shitty horseback riding lessons. Verosika mentioned that you are obsessed with horses." Blitzo couldn't help but look offended.
"I am not obsessed with horses!" the imp replied in a voice that sounded like he was offended. In a much calmer voice, he flatly stated: "I am in love with them."
"Right." said Katie. "To be fair, my sister has had her own faults when it comes to romantic partners."
"Oh, you mean besides spreading gonorrhea or herpes or genital warts?" Blitzo sarcastically asked.
"She can take advantage of her lovers at times." Katie pointed. "she even stole all of one of her girlfriends' money then dumped her."
"Heh, couldn't afford to pay for her fucking booze, no doubt." the imp rolled his eyes with his arms crossed.
Katie looked like she was losing her patience with her sister's ex-boyfriend now. The metal succubus was starting to understand why her pop music sister had dumped Blitzo in the very first place. Of course, Verosika was not exactly clean herself, but she was still Katie's slightly younger twin sister. "Look," she sighed. "Why are you here anyway?"
Letting out a sigh, Blitzo finally said: "I'm just doing this for Lincoln. Verosika is friends with him and I am friends with him, so I am at least trying to make it work for the kid."
"I know you're kind of people." Katie smirked. "You act all tough and heartless but I know you are a softie on the inside."
"Bullshit." Blitzo doubted. "That's more like Loona's thing."
"What was that?" asked Loona, who obviously heard what his adopted father said, and she didn't look amused at all.
"Nothing!" Blitzo immediately looked scared. "You are the meanest, toughest girl down here in Hell."
"Damn right, i am." Loona narrowed her eyes.
Lincoln immediately took a dip in the hot tub and Verosika slowly dipped in next to him, wrapping her arm around his shoulders and his face gently touching her perfectly round breast.
"Thanks for inviting Blitzo over."
"Yeah, well, I only allowed that bastard here because you wanted him here."
"I know you still hate him." Lincoln said.
"More than I hate Lady Gaga, Rihana, and Madonna combined." Verosika had a look of bitterness on her beautiful face. "But still, I am happy if you are, Lincoln."
The white-haired boy felt Loona slowly take a dip in the hot tub next and sit next to him on the right. "You doing ok, buddy?" Loona asked him.
"Yep. A nice way to get my mind off the whole Crimson fiasco." Lincoln smiled. "Ahh, I forgot how nice this jacuzzi water feels." Putting his hands behind his head and dipping more of his body into the nice, warm waters, Lincoln looked through the window.
"I know, this feels so nice." Loona smiled
"So what happened exactly?" Asked Verosika
"I don't know if I should tell you." Lincoln admitted. "I mean; it's taken care of and I won't have to worry about it anymore."
"And, probably none of your business anyway." Loona pointed.
"Come on. I am Lincoln's friend too. And Tex kinda told me about how he was kidnapped by some mob boss in the Greed Ring."
"Well since the cat- or hellhound's out of the bag," Lincoln admitted. "Crimson kidnapped me."
"Crimson?" She and her posse said in shock.
"He's one of the most ruthless, evil, and despicable mob bosses down here in Hell." Said Ace
"A fucking nasty piece of work." Said Josh.
"You would have to make him really mad to want to kidnap you." Said Kat.
"Did he hurt you, sweetie-pie?" Asked Apple in a worried voice.
"Not so much. One slap to the face, and that's pretty much it. If he did hurt or injure me, you would probably see it."
"Good point." Said Coco
"Why would he kidnap you?" Asked Kiki
"He wasn't really after me, he was after-"
"Don't tell them any more, Lincoln." Blitzo flatly said. "What happened with us and Crimson is none of these cunts and bastards' business."
"Hey now!" Said Ace in an offended voice. "Didn't you hear Verosika? We are Lincoln's friends too, shithead!"
"It's ok, Ace. Sit back down." Verosika flatly said. "Besides, If I wanted Blitzo dead, I would kill him personally." She gave Blitzo another hateful look. "He's mine."
"Not in front of the kid." Loona said. "If you guys are going to kill each other, take it outside."
"You're lucky Lincoln's here." Blitzo warned. "Otherwise I would make you bleed to death, bitch."
"Hmph, likewise." Verosika rolled her eyes.
"Can't we all just get along?" Asked Katie.
"No!" Blitzo and his ex-girlfriend bluntly said.
"OK, ok. The beef isn't mine." Katie backed off.
"Look, he wasn't after the kid, he was after Moxxie."
"The cute little twink that works for Blitzo?" Asked the pop star Succubus."
"The one and only." Loona remarked. "Crimson is his dad."
The succubi and incubi looked surprised. "Oh my Satan." Said Katie. "So I thought it struck my head when I was comparing him to Crimson."
"What did he even want with Moxxie?"
"It's a long and complicated story." Looks out her hands behind her head. "But he has the title of worst father of the year. Crimson wanted to kill his own son. But then, by happy mistake, Moxxie's mom came in and saved us."
"though that fucker shot my leg in the process." Said Vortex. "But hey, I suffered worse pain and Lincoln is safe and sound." The male hellhound then patted the kid's head. "And you have nothing to worry about from that Crimson again, right Lincoln?"
"Right."
"So where are those two imps?" Asked Verosika
"Well Millie was tortured by Crimson with a hot branding iron on her back, and she's in the hospital for a little while." Said Tex. "Moxxie is doing some catching up with his mom and keeping his wife company."
"Holy shit, dude." Said Apple. "That just have been scary."
"If Moxxie's mom didn't come to save us in time, Crimson would have gunned me and Moxxie down." Said Lincoln.
"You know, Blitzo," said Verosika, "why can't you be more like your imp friend?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean: why can't you be as loving and supportive as Moxxie, and be the kind of man he is?"
"Even though he is as thin as a fucking rake?" Blitzo lifted one eyebrow at her. "And you and I know why I can't be like him."
Verosika was silent and made a small growl at Blitzo in response. Nevertheless, they kept their cool for Lincoln so they wouldn't ruin his happiness. The boy had been through so much already.
The Next Day
Lincoln and Loona were sitting at the table and little did they know was that, someone opened the door silently and had a toy gun on him. It was Clyde and he was in a spy costume.
Rolling over to the carpet, he looked stunned to see Loona in her Hellhound form!
Clyde didn't even say anything and felt like passing out from a heart attack to see a monster like this. Panicking, Lincoln ran up to Clyde and pulled out a paper bag to breathe in and out of. "Clyde," said Lincoln, "don't panic, this is not what you think."
"What is going on?!" Clyde sounded afraid. "Why is there a werewolf in your house?"
"Grrr, why does everyone keep thinking that whenever they first see me!" Loona complained angrily.
Clyde recognized that voice anywhere. "Loona?"
"Buddy, listen to me." said Lincoln. "Loona is... a monster, but she is a nice monster. I promise." Then an idea popped into his head. "In fact, she is not a monster at all. This is just a cool costume device Lisa is working on for this Halloween."
"Huh? Oh! Right. Yeah. The nerd girl gave me a special device that lets me change into any kind of monster I wanna transform to."
But unfortunately, the damage was already done.
